History:
Lone grew up in the Grand Line as an orphan who wasn’t even accepted into the home of the doorstep he was left on. Lone was left at the doorstep at the age of 4 and spent the night crying out in the rain on the doorstep. Lone was picked up by a young pretty girl who felt bad for him being out there all alone in the cold rain. Lone was taken to her parent’s house and looked after there; Lone grew up never meeting his true parents and knowing these people weren’t his family either. He was eternally grateful and offered to help around the house as much as he could in return for their generosity.

Of his new family the father was a Marine soldier by day and a smuggler by night out of need for money as a grunt in the Marines he didn’t make enough money and managed to learn a good few things about what they do so he started smuggling people for the extra money despite how bad it made him feel. The mother was a baker and the little girl who was now his older sister grew up to become a tailor. Lone didn’t know what he wanted to do with his life and ended up being offered the chance to help the father be a smuggler at night. As he was only 13 at the time he accepted the job offer as a way to help the family and pay off any debt he believed he had.

When Lone was 16 he was asked to be a lookout as the Marines had managed to get wise to the smuggling and Lone took up a good vantage point with some binoculars where he could keep a good lookout. As the last few people were being loaded on to a ship Lone saw Marines coming his way and whistled as that was the signal the Marines heard him whistle and two of them gave chase to Lone who ran as quickly as he could away from the docks. Lone tripped up as he ran and landed face first on the ground and was arrested then dragged to the local Marine head quarters to ask what involvement he had. Because Lone kept denying any involvement he was whipped badly and gained many lacerations all over his body which bled badly. After hours of interrogation Lone was cast outside and left to die. Lone knew his way home though and limped through the streets back home where he was looked after and rested till the wounds healed.

Lone gave all of his payment from smuggling to the family and left as he didn’t want to be any more of an inconvenience to them, when he left people from the smuggling business found him and asked him to be a lookout for them too Lone tried to turn down the offer but they were persistent and kept asking till he gave in. Lone was appointed the position of lookout and was given a pair of binoculars and a sniper rifle which he was told to use if any trouble came their way. Lone was reluctant to use it but also at the same time curious he picked it up and held it in his hands and liked the feel of it but he didn’t want to use it.

When Marines came his way he whistled but the men who had employed him didn’t respond, Lone didn’t want these men to be angry at him so he took up the sniper rifle and took aim as he took aim at the Marines he felt scared and fired bullets into areas of the body which he knew wouldn’t kill them.
The Marines were all taken down but not killed and Lone realised he had a natural talent for marksman ship. Lone was paid a large amount of money for his services and given more people to get in contact with. At the age of 17 Lone had been around and worked for 7 employers and completed each job without killing anyone, his marksman ship only got better and he became much braver but still feared close combat and killing someone.

Personality: Lone is quiet and keeps to himself he feels awkward being around people and prefers to spend time alone and to himself. He is childish in ways but professional in other ways and doesn’t like being shouted at he hates failing as it makes him feel useless and he is often considered cute and blushes easily. Lone feels lonely allot of the time no thanks to his parents ditching him and loves companion ship and getting close to people but hates revealing anything about himself as he doesn’t like feeling vunerable.
