Body: Iken is a rather tall compared to the average person of 5'6" or 5'5", he towers over most at 6'4 and 1/2".  The man's build is a semi muscular one, as in he has a good amount of muscle but not enough to restrict movement. Iken's abs and pectorals can easily be seen through his shirt and despite his somewhat slender body he has large arms allowing him to swing large blades without a second thought.  Due to his body being a mass of muscle Iken's weight is higher than most his size, he weights nearly 250lbs.  His skin tends to be a pale white to a semi tan depending on his outside activity levels.  

Face: Iken's face overall is a half oval shape with the top being more rounded and the bottom towards his chin coming to an end at a rounded point.  His nose isn't anything special or strange, not too big or small, and strait with perfect nostrils.  A powerful jaw makes Iken stand out a bit; it is a good fit with his overall powerful looking body.  Iken has a pretty standard mouth fairly strait and normal, which makes it contrast his eyes.  His eyes are large and round and a magnificent shade of dark sapphire blue.  

Hair: Iken has shoulder length hair that is spiked in various areas.  In the back, Iken's hair falls to his shoulder with a slight spike at the end.  The majority of his hair is on top with it shifted to the left in upright spikes.  His bang also are spiked to the left, only they are spiked downwards and somewhat covering the man's eyes. Iken's hair is a combination of wavy and strait for the most part differing depending on the area of the head.  His hair color ranges anywhere from a light mild brown to a darker brown, the light brown areas are mostly natural highlights where his hair parts.  Iken's eyebrows as well as his small beard are both dark brown.  Iken has fine eye brows; his beard is situated on his chin and only an inch in length.

Non visual information: He has a rather deep and booming voice especially when he's angry.  It most likely ranges from semi low, to a medium low not going any lower.  Iken doesn't have a particular smell to him, he smells average maybe a little cleaner since he know the importance of good hygiene.  If he were to have a taste Iken would taste salty sweet depending on the area of his body.

Clothing: Iken normally wears a tight orange cotton shirt with his sleeves ripped off.  His pants are a semi tight pair of denim blue jeans with a variety of tears in them.  He wears a large pair of size 15 combat boots made from tough thick leather; it's the same substance his black belt is made from.  Iken also has a blue variation of his shirt along with green cargo pants with two added pockets from the usual once on the hips.  His two extra pockets lie on his thighs.  Iken also has a captain’s coat he was given to him by his master, when wearing it he usually hangs in on his shoulder like some type of cape.  The coat is long reaching nearly to the ground even on the shoulder of the 6'4" man.  It's the same color of orange as his shirt, save two areas.  The sleeves have a ring of black on them and the bottom of the coat has a blue flame pattern.  It's made from a tough cotton fiber mixed with a various others to increase its durability, it's a rather high end coat.  

-Personality information-

Personality Overview: Quiet and reserved most of the time. Finds ways to express his feelings, but it may take him longer than the average person. He loves his family and friends to no ends and therefore will throw his life away for them without hesitation. Iken goes into silent depressions when he gets down, and has been through a lot which allows for him to bare a great deal of burden. At times he thinks to the past and mentally beats himself down thinking if he had only been stronger they wouldn't have died.

Iken's berserk has been shown to make him go into a blind animalistic rage. While in this rage his thought process is to kill anything and everything to stop or prevent it from hurting him. However despite all of that, Iken is normally that looks on the bright side of things making him somewhat of a optimist and idealist at times.  When the times are rough Iken is usually one of the strongest for others to use a support.  

Likes, Dislikes, Hopes and Fears: Iken likes friends, good food, good liquor, and fine woman with values.  He dislikes marines, and for the most part pirates however he is willing to give them a chance to show they're truly a good person.  Iken hopes to find a decent crew he can call his own, once he does that he hope to sail the Grandline and change the world for the better.  He also hopes to find any and all survives of the Steel Village.  With Iken's traumatic past, his greatest fear is losing the loved ones he finds.

-History information-**
Birth:  Iken was born in the Steel Village on June 13th, on a Thursday.  It was a bright and sunny day on which the young babe was born.  The sun shined down on the building that he and his parents were in like a blessing from the gods.  From that day on Iken's father knew that his baby boy would be a special one.  From that day on for the next two years Iken was trained by his father, like all newborns Iken was taught to think that weapons were toys and dueling was playtime.  Before he could walk or even talk he like the rest of the babes in his clan underwent strength training and vigorously fed certain vitamins and supplements. At the age of two his clan furthered his training by convincing him that the model sword and weapons were all for play. Day in and day out he would be given bigger weapon models until at the age of five.

Childhood: At five years old the children of Iken's clan were made to use full sized weapons and pared up with an adult caretaker for intense training. After being taken in by a caretaker the child isn't to have contact with their family until they turn 15 years old. The next 10 years of Iken's life was hell, he was trained to the point of death several times. Due to his care takers close relationship with Iken's father, Iken was push much harder than any man in his clan had been.  At the age of 12 Iken's village was invaded by the warring pirates and marines over the sword.  With the village destroyed Iken and his caretaker join in on the battle as training.  At this time he also found the sword in which would lead to the total destruction of the village.

After Caretaker: Iken was released from his caretaker at the age of 17, two years longer than normal. The extra two years were Iken's choice; he wanted to be the strongest in the history of the clan. Upon being released from the caretaker Iken met his family after years of separation. It was a quiet joy that he and his family felt, expressed with smiles and a few hugs. Iken had grown tall and strong during the decade apart from his family, he also had a little brother that was about to be taken in. Spending time with his little brother was Iken's highest priority as he may never see him again once he leaves to his caretaker.

War to Execution Platform: As the battle continued the guerrilla tactics became more and more effective. Eventually the war was one by the rebels, only a handful of the warring pirates and marine were left. All of the remaining members of the two losing sides were being held captive as the Steel Villagers decided their fates. Now years later the 17 year old Iken brandished the sword like it was nothing more than a regular sword. For years this went on without anyone attempting to take it, as the villagers of the Steel had no knowledge of the great sword. Walking to the execution platform the young man watched as the high ranking pirates and marines were all sentenced to death. As the elder of the village spoke ropes were put around their necks, none of them seemed scared or in the least remorseful. One after another marine and pirate alike were until only the Captain of the pirates and the Rear Admiral and highest ranking member of the crew were left.

Pushing through the crowd to get a better view, Iken stepped into the view of the two doom men. Their eyes widened as they seen a mere boy with the sword, that they and their comrades fought and died over. The pirate's face grew bright and he smiled a deep smile before he let out a deep and bright laugh. The marine however didn't think it was so funny, his face shown a scowl with a death stare towards Iken that petrified the young man. With a surge of power the once powerful admiral, weakened by starvation and general mistreatment in the prison used the last reserves of his strength. The marine broke his shackles and took one of the executioner’s scythes slaying the man in the process. The hope of freedom seemed to give the man a second wind; he performed another, what Iken would have called a death stare. This time the entire crowd save a few passed out from seer will power from the marine. Iken found himself with his blade sticking out of his shoulder, it would seem that he instinctively had stabbed himself to prevent himself from passing out. Despite the brave act of self-mutilation the young man found himself once again petrified in fear of the attacker.

Marine Attack to The Death of Great Pirate: Blood shot out splattering all over the ground as the marines scythe hit the chest of its target causing a fatal blow. Both the Rear Admiral and Iken's father fall to the ground. Iken's father breathed his last as blood bubbled out of his mouth; the marine looked out at Iken. He had fallen from exhaustion, malnutrition, and overexertion from his last stunt. Iken looked at the once great man on his knees and then at his father dead in a pool of his own blood. A shadow of darkness spread across Iken's face as the sword he wielded tasted blood once again. The once great marines head rolled on the ground as his body fell from its kneeling position. Just as the act of evil had taken Iken's innocents, a group of marine marched into the village looking for their own. Seeing he execution platform, Iken killing a high ranking officer with the cursed sword all reason left the mind of the marines. They attack with furry killing woman and children as well as the men all in an attempt to take revenge and the sword. A group of marksmen huddled together loading their rifles before the all shot at one target. All five of the men hit Iken riddling him full of bullet holes.

Blood poured from the many injuries as the young man slowly fell unconscious to the ground. Even after it all went dark he could still hear, smell and feel the battle raging on. A few more moments passed until Iken couldn't feel anything anymore, it was all gone. Warmth bathed Iken's face as something bright shown through his eye lids. Slowly opening his eyes Iken soon realized it was much too bright to see, everything was a bright white. However the man's eyes began to readjust and it turned out only to be the sun shining down on his face. Looking to his sides he could see he was on a small boat with a man wearing a flash red jacket. The man had a dark black hair that was in a ponytail, he was very thin and sickly looking. It was none other than the pirate that Iken had seen on the execution platform. Looking back at Iken as he moved slightly in a weak attempt to get up, the man spoke. "You've been out of it for three weeks boy; I was about ready to start chowing down on yurr'ass. Oh well I guess I can't do that now...get some rest." As soon as the man finished Iken was out once again.

When Iken woke up next he and the pirate had landed on a small island. Despite its size it provided more than enough for the two to survive on. In the next two years the pirate took the boy as his own and trained him in the way of the sword. He also taught him the knowledge he had obtained from all of his travels on the Grandline. With the pirate as a father to him, Iken almost had forgotten how much he hated pirates for bringing the battle to his old village. However Iken's dark side never did truly go away and his hate for marine and pirates alike stayed its course. When Iken's 19th birthday rolled around the pirate showed Iken something, it was the Dark Crusade the blade Iken long ago had claimed for himself. With the gift or maybe curse bestowed upon the young man he set out to conquer the East Blue and form or join a crew before heading for the Grandline. Two weeks later Iken returned as the old pirate's death rattle set in. For the first time in the history of the sword, the person in its possession didn't die a terrible death. This was all due to the kindness deep inside a man with a devilish dark side, it seemed even the looming darkness wouldn't slow down such a powerful will.

Meeting the Destroyers: After battling a raging storm for about 30 seconds Iken was knocked unconscious by some rouge flying wooden object.  After only god knows how long Iken washed upon shore on an island in an entirely different sea.  He had floated from East to South Blue all the time unconscious.  When he awoken he found himself worse off than the boat he had fallen off of.  Struggling to his feet Iken made to a bar where he ordered a large amount of meet and whiskey.  He consumed both in a short amount of time passing out until his slumber was interrupted by fighting on the second floor.  In a drunken rage Iken made his way to the second floor and confronted the pirates.  In only a couple moves Iken again passed out due to his blood alcohol level.  

After reawakening Iken, drunk out of his mind leaped on the pirate captain trying to take a nap in his head.  At this point the captain of the pirate had drunk enough to get himself drunk with glee.  The first mate of the captain, Cat a swordsman knocked his captain out trying to prevent him from doing anything "stupid".  Seeing this enraged the drunken Iken, with his rage Iken attempted to level Cat's face with a powerful blow.  However being as drunk as he was Iken slammed his fist into the bartender causing him to roll down the stairs and into a group of pirates and bandits.  Though Iken and the Destroyers at Sea were outnumbered two to one they were able to defeat all the foes.  Iken managed to kill three of the ten, cat five of them, Thor the captain only managed three, and Emilio the gunslinger wounded four.  After the fight one of the bartenders called the marines, which lead to the crew making a quick exit.  Seeing the marine ship sail to the opposite side of the island the Destroyers at Sea sailed of into the ocean towards their next destination and adventure.
