| -Simple Information-Name: Axel Fredric Spades Also known as: Jaws, Garbage Man, Rusty Handshake Age: 19 Species: Cyborg Gender: Male Themes: - Spoiler:
General: Axel F Battle: Flamenco
Loyalty: Marine Affiliation: Marines Occupation: Seaman Recruit Bounty: None Specialty: Shipwright, Inventor Goals: Avenge the death of his father Funds: 15,000,000 B (100,000,000-85,000,000 For Cyborg Modifications) Level: Zero^ Posts till next level: 4/15 -Appearance information-Physical appearance: Body: Axel possesses a thin body type, that he maintains even after his abdomen has been filed with various machines and mechanical parts. He stands at about 6 feet, but as a result of his cyborg parts, weight about 110 kilograms. His chest is slightly wider than his body would otherwise posses thanks to the multiple machines that were pumped into it, giving his abdomen a triangle shape. The parts of his body that weren't modified with cyborg parts became relatively muscular as a result of the extra weight they carry, giving him a muscular chest, abs and legs. Most of his body parts have been covered with fake skin patches, that blend in perfectly with his normal skin, and are only noticeable when Axel becomes unusually tanned. His left forearm is slightly larger than bigger than it should be, but that size difference is barely noticeable. As opposed to his other body parts, his right arm is completely exposed to the world, giving it a metallic appearance that immediately gives away the fact that Axel is indeed a cyborg. Face: Axel's face appear completely normal at first glance, but in reality, they're are everything but. His right eye is a fake glass eye, and although it possess the brown shade of Axel's left eye, with enough attention anyone will be able to spot it's artificiality. Axel's teeth have also been replaced with a set of sharp bleached metal teeth, giving his mouth a similar appearance to that of a shark when he smiles. His weird smile and artificial stare creates an unwanted distance between him and others, giving them the feeling that they're not talking to a human but an animal. Other than those small flaws, Axel's face have a relatively handsome structure, with a firm jawline that is slightly angled thanks to the modifications in his mouth. When he gets tanned, his skin gets darker but his fake skin patches don't giving his skin the pattern of light squares. Hair: Axel lost all of his hair in the fire, making him completely bold, but as an engineer with access to marine cosmetic attachments, he had to fix that. He equipped his hair with artificial hair, giving him a wild and messy mane of short hair. His hair is formed by many individual spikes. The spikes on the back of his head are pointing straight down while the spikes on the top of his head are pointing backwards, giving him the appearance of a man with wind blowing on his face. The more frontal spikes are pointing backwards as well but are slightly angled up and to the side, leaving on one group of hair to dangle over Axel's right eye to slightly hide his artificial eye. As a result of Axel's low ranking, he couldn't manage to obtain his old hair color, and was given a different one instead, the last one in stock: green. Axel's eyebrows have also burned in the fire, and with nothing to replace them, his face lacks eyebrows, making it harder to read his expressions. Non visual information: Axel's voice is probably the most humane part about him, remaining flawless even after the fire. It is low and strong, making anything he says sound undoubtedly right. Every sentence that comes out of Axel's mouth ends with the metallic sound of his interlocking metal teeth when he closes his mouth. When it comes to smell, the most noticeable odder that Axel releases is the smell of alcohol, the same smell that usually lurks inside bars and behind heavy drinkers. This is the result of the great amount of alcohol Axel consumes on a daily basis to fuel his cyborg body. Most of the time, that smell will be accompanied by the distinctive smell of motor oil and other mechanic lubricants that Axel hangs around as a part of being a shipwright. Extra features: Axel's right arm, who is packed with cogs and pistons that are constantly working, makes annoying clicks and screeches when he moves his arm,giving him his nickname "Rusty Handshake" and making him the wrong choice for any undercover operation and usually makes him annoying to be next to. His abdomen, that is also packed with various machine and metal parts, makes a metallic sound every time it is touched, and produces a metallic thud when Axel sits or lies down. Clothing: As a marine, Axel usually walks around with his marine uniform, being on duty for about 7 days a week every week. His uniform consists of the basic marine dressing code. He wears a white and blue marine shirt, barely fitting Axel's large proportions, featuring the seagull symbol associated with the marines along with the marine logo on his wide chest. His shirt is accompanied by the marine's formal black pants that are tied to his waists by a leather belt. The pants usually have an oil stain on them from one of Axel's many works. The pants are strapped to his legs by a pair of heavy military boots that cover his feet. He tends to not wear his marine hat unless facing a higher-up. Over his shirt he wears a blue trench coats who's left sleeve is cut off, leaving only the right sleeve to cover his artificial arm all the way down to his fingertips. On his back he carries a brown sack in which he carries his tools, a bottle of beer and whatever piece of junk he finds and decides to fix. When off duty, Axel keeps his coat and sack, but loses the tight fitting uniform. Instead, he wears an old loose grey sleeveless T-shirt, who's neck hole is stretched to make it wider. The shirt is almost always spotted with an oil stain or two, since on his free time, Axel works with as much junk as he is when he is on duty. The shirt is accompanied with a pair of green Bermuda shorts decorated with flower patterns, giving Axel the ultimate laid back look. He wears a pair of wooden sandals on his feet, who's soles have been pierced with at least half a dozen nails he accidentally stepped on. When it comes to formal events, Axel is not a fan, since it involves clean clothes and being away from his work. His outfit for special occasions consists of a black tuxedo that is as tight as his uniform, making him hate it just as much. He wears a blue tie around his neck and a pair of black pants who he spent hours on making sure were not decorated with stains. On his feet he wears his military boots from his uniform since he has no other shoes to wear. -Personality information-Personality Overview: Axel is a slightly twisted man, thinking that machines and gadgets are a better company than most people he comes across, a fact that usually makes him keep to himself and his thoughts, or spill his guts and fight whoever doesn't like his opinion, depending on his mood at the moment. To get on his good side, a person needs to show something other than a nice personality and a smiley face, he has for people who possess only those two qualities: A waste of meat. To get on his good side, you have to be skilled, have interesting and useful qualities, they need to be smart or talented, preferably both, for him to like you. Once you get on his good side, he can be a very loyal friend and comrade. Axel is very proud of every one of his creations, and likes to show them off to all, both those who wish to see and those who don't. The only reason he covers his cybernetic modifications is the element of surprise, since that surprised look that a person gets when they realize they're facing a cyborg is priceless to Axel. As a cyborg, Axel's mood is directly linked to the amount of fuel he currently has. When he is well fueled, he tends to be cheery and open, a situation in which he is more likely to get into fights since he doesn't hold his thoughts back as much in this state. When he is running low on fuel he becomes tired and upset, keeping his thoughts to himself and pushing almost everyone away from him. Basically, fueled Axel and empty Axel are almost two different beings, and should be treated as such. Likes, Dislikes, Hopes and Fears: Axel is simply in love with his job as a shipwright. He just can't get enough, giving him a piece of metal and some tools is like giving a child a birthday toy. When he walks around he tends to pick up random junk he finds and keep it in his sack. He will then take it to his workshop and do whatever the hell pops into his head, just for the fun of it. This passion for building and engineering causes Axel to constantly look for ways to upgrade his cyborg body. As a result of the accident he had in his childhood, Axel has an explainable fear of fire and flames. It's not in a phobia-level, but he feels extremely uncomfortable around these things, unless they are produced from one of his tools and are under his control. He will do his best to stay away from fire. -History information-** Birth: - Spoiler:
Axel was born on a small island in the West Blue named Great Canal. The island got it's name thanks to the massive canal that goes straight through it's middle, halving it to two identical pieces. The Great Canal of Great Canal, as it is called, is a thriving business center. All kinds of ships that pass through the island go through the canal that is filled with all kinds of shops and businesses from both sides, making Great Canal island a respectful tourist attraction in the his area of the West Blue. Axel was born to a pair of loving parents. His mother owned a small bakery in one side of the canal, where she sold her delicious cakes and muffins, while his father owned a very profitable shipyard on the same side of the Canal, a few stores away from the bakery. Since both of his parents were working, Axel enjoyed a great amount of comfort and security, his family having no financial worries. As a young boy, Axel took a liking to his father's job more than his mother's, because after all, being around metal and noisy tools was way more exciting than baking cakes all day long. He spent most of his days in his father's yard, watching him and his employees dismantle, build and upgrade every ship that passed in it. As the years passed, Axel's knowledge of ships and machinery grew larger, and when he was 8, he opened a small workshop of his own in his bedroom, fixing the toys of the other kids in the neighborhood. After seeing his son's skill improve with each passing day, Axel's father offered him to help out in the shipyard when he was 12, a job the Axel accepted without hesitation.
The Disaster:- Spoiler:
Axel worked in his father's workshop for 5 years, gaining skill in the arts of the shipwright faster than anyone could imagine, having a natural talent for machinery and carpeting that he inherited from his father, who was also a prodigy in his youth. He was in charge of blueprinting, and took a part in planning a countless amount of upgrades and fixes of many ships. It was going in the right way until one afternoon when Axel was 17. a marine crew that patrolled in the island left their ship in the shipyard for repairs and Axel was left to examine the ship and plan the repairs on his own. Meanwhile, his father was working in the main workshop, where he prepared all the necessary tools for the upgrade. As he examined the ship from the inside, his life were about to change forever. A pirate crew's ship docked right next to the marine ship, and two pirates stepped down from it. These pirates had nasty plans for Great Canal Island and the presence of the marines was a mighty flaw in their plans. The approached the ship with four tanks of gasoline and quickly splashed it all around the ship and the main workshop. All it took was one spark from a cigarette lighter to ignite the whole thing up. The workshop, that was basically made of wood, burned down in minutes, leaving no trace of the house or Axel's father, who probably burned along with his workshop. On the other hand, the marine ship was mostly made of metal and didn't go down as easily, but it did heat up and crashed in a few places, with Axel still deep inside it's haul. Seeing their ship burning, the marines rushed in, quickly stopping all of the pirates and extinguishing the fire. This was a flawless operation, with almost no casualties, but Axel and his father.
Recovery: - Spoiler:
Axel woke up in a small medical clinic that was only a few houses away from his father's shop. The marines found him inside their ship's ruins after remembering someone was supposed to examine their ship. The first time he woke up he couldn't even focus on a light bulb, obviously he was heavily drugged and he fell asleep after about a minute. When he woke up a second time, he could finally see his new body. After performing the sin of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Axel received the full punishment. All of his hair burned down and he was left completely bold. burns from every degree possible were decorating his skin in about every part of his body. His legs received a lot of crushing damage after being smashed by a heavy piece of ceiling that effectively broke a few of his bones. He lost his right eye as a result of a glass shard grazing against it, and most of his teeth after receiving a powerful blow to the mouth. But the worst damage was done to his arms. His left forearm and his entire right arm were gone, with only empty spaces to remind Axel of his skill in engineering. But, Axel wasn't going to give up, he was told the what happened, about the death of his father, and he was setting himself with a new goal: revenge. He spent the next few months trapped inside the clinic, being treated by several nurses and receiving numerous surgeries until his condition was finally stabilized. During this time he was planning, creating a mental blueprint of his most brilliant creation: Himself. After he was freed from the clinic he inherited his father's shop, and requested the help of his father's old assistant. With his help, Axel was able to put his blueprint on paper. Since Axel had no hands to work with, the first order of business was to return his hands. The assistant helped him by creating the first model of Axel's cyborg body: Axel-F. The model included a set of fully operational arms, which Axel spent months planning. The arms were built from spare ship parts his father kept in storage. With his new set of arms, Axel could return to his favorite thing in the world: his workshop. He built himself a wheelchair and began working, fixing ships during the day, and planning his next upgrade to his body during the night.
A New Life: - Spoiler:
Axel never stopped working on his body. He spent a month planning the next model of his cyborg body: Axel-F-II, and with his cyborg hands managed to put it in shape all by himself, he was indeed a skilled engineer. The new model was meant to return Axel the ability to walk, and included a set of metal bars and a few pistons who were carefully placed inside both of his legs, helping him to not only walk again but also support the heavy weight of his metal arms. He also installed himself with a new set of metal teeth, after growing tired of drinking soup for all 3 meals. During this time he kept the shipyard running, fixing a ship every day and using whatever spare parts were left to upgrade his body. He performed a little research on the pirate crew that effectively ruined his life, only to find out that the crew was captured by the marines and that his dream of revenge was a waste of time, although he was soon about to discover exactly the opposite. On one of the many bright days that past since the accident, Axel's workshop was paid a visit by a marine crew, the same marine crew who's burning ship destroyed Axel's life. The crew arrived at the island to get their ship repaired, and were amazed to find out that the guy who was running the workshop was the same guy who they saved from the burning ruins of their ship. Seeing how Axel managed to create himself a new body, the marines couldn't pass the opportunity to recruit such a talented engineer to their lines. They offered him a ride on their ship, all the way to their base where he could apply for a marine position, giving him another shot at getting his revenge, not to the specific pirates who destroyed his life, but to every single pirate in the world! Given a week to prepare, Axel left his mother in the hands of his remaining family on the island. With their help, she won't be alone and she will survive. He left the workshop in the hands of his father's assistant. He then packed his tools and all of the junk he was currently fixing, and said one last goodbye to Great Canal Island, promising to come back once a year.
A Final Touch: - Spoiler:
The marine ship sailed for a few days until they reached a small marine base in the West Blue. The crew told their superior the story behind Axel's currently horrible condition, heavily impressing the man. Not many people would be able to survive such an accident and rebuild their bodies, but Axel did. Instead of a recruitment test, Axel presented his body's blueprints to the base's main shipwright. The impressive blueprints were enough to get Axel into the position of a newly recruited shipwright, and he was immediately assigned to basic marine training. Now that he had access to new supplies, Axel upgraded his body one more time. He piled his right mechanical arm with pistons and gears, making it a lot more powerful. His left forearm was also modified to act as a gun. He now had access to cosmetic supplies as well, equipping himself with a glass eye to replace his missing one and a bush of green hair, which was the only color left in stock. He got through basic training with the help of his new body, titled Axel-F-III, and was now a fresh Seaman Recruit, ready for action.
