Appearance: 
History: John was born in Shabondy Archipelago, where he grew up. He was the last descendant of the Moonstripe Family, a family that was great with swordsmanship and so he was trained to be the one who would become the leader of the family. As a result. he was training from an early age at the art of the sword to become one of the greatest swordsmen in Shabondy. Every day, since he was 5 years old, he was honing his skills to learn the secret techniques of his family and become a great warrior. While he was growing up, though, he also started thinking of his plans... He started developping the idea that those who were weak should become slaves to the superior beings or die. That, combined with the fact that John treated himself as one of the greatest swordsmen in the world, made him think that he was a superior being compared to everyone else and that everyone else should die. He started forming plans... At the age of 16 he ate a Devil Fruit which he stole from a bunch of pirates, after overhearing its ability from them and at the age of 18, he put his first plan in motion.
When he turned into an adult, he challenged his father in a duel, to show that he was the strongest of the family and that he should be the leader. His father, without knowing what John had in his mind, accepted and the duel between them started. After a long duel, John emerged victorious and he was appointed as the new leader of the family. However, the reason he wanted to take over the family was not to rule it. Instead, he was planning to take advantage of it to cause fear to the people of Shabondy Archipelago and show them that he is no match. Under the name of the Moonstripe Family, John commited a series of crimes to make himself known to the world. These crimes included killing his own father, pirates who happened to dock at Shabondy and marines that happened to be in front of his road. His greatest crime was performed right after the Shabondy War. Apparently, the man finished off as many people as he could who could not even fight, including a severely injured Rear Admiral. Because of the mass murders after the War, he was given a bounty of 20,000,000 Beli and the epithet "Priest of the Apocalypse" because of his priest-like appearance.
Personality: John is a wicked man who is willing to do anything to achieve his goals. Ever since he was a little kid, he dreamed of a world in which only strong people would exist. In order to achieve that, he realised that he would have to be patient and form plans and so he became a great tactician who could manipulate simple people easily. Also, his evil personality extends to the point that he has even killed his father. Another thing that shows his desire for a "Strong World" is that he eliminated many survivors from the Shabondy War who were in an injured state, just because he thought that they were weak as they ended up getting injured.
Also, John is an excellent actor. Even if he is ruthless and likes killing people, he knows how to hide it. There are times he can turn from the monster he is to a kind-hearted man who cares for others. However, only himself knows that this is nothing more than a mask that he places on his face that helps him move with his plans and protects the plans from being revealed at the same time. When the time comes, John will show no remorse at doing anything, including killing people that he once was friends with. He is a real danger, a man that everyone could be afraid of if they knew his bloodlust and his evil personality.

Devil Fruit: Mata Mata no MiType: Paramecia
Effect: Mata Mata no Mi is a Devil Fruit that belongs to the Paramecia Category. It's ability is something simple that has great potential and seems to have no limits. The fruit grants the user the ability to do an action they did in the past or happened to them again by tilting his fingers. The action that is repeated can be anything. It can be a punch, a ranged attack and pretty much anything as long as it was done by the user. When the user repeats an action, they do not put the effort they put before they repeated the action and the action they repeated has no delay. The repeated action can take place at a distance of 10 meters around the user and has exactly the same effects as the first action.
The way an action is repeated is this:
- A melee action is repeated with the creation of a hologram that represents the body part that performed the action. Since the body part is just a hologram and is not the real one, it cannot be damaged. It gets immediately destroyed after the action is repeated.
- A ranged action is simply repeated. For example, if an air blade attack is created by the user, then when the user tilts his fingers another air blade is created, same to the first one.
- A supporting action is repeated in a simply way and can stack with the previous supporting action in most occasions. For example, if the user uses a technique that will temporarily increase their own speed, they can repeat the action of increasing the speed to increase their speed furthermore.
As for disadvantages, the fruit has the main disadvantage of being able to repeat things only once. For example, a punch can only be repeated once. However, if the user performs another punch, they can repeat the new punch once again.
Also, there is the disadvantage that the user has a limited amount of time to repeat an action that happened before. The user can only repeat again an action they did that took place 3 posts before, the most.
Another disadvantage is that the user can replicate two single motions in a turn, total.
Moreover, the user cannot repeat a series of consecutive actions. He can only repeat again only one motion.
Finally, the user cannot repeat actions that were performed by others. That limits the fruit's usage as the ability can only be used based on the user solely. In other words, the power that this fruit has to offer can be used on the user's creativity and on how the power is used.
