Appearance: Izlend is tall for his age, being 6'3" gives him a definite edge against others of his level in a physical push. Since the war in Alabasta, Izlend has grown, in more way than one. He has become three inches taller and his muscles are more pronounced. His chest and arms are rather large, while his stomach has rippling abs. The young man is still fairly slim. Izlend has a rather young look to him and is called "boy" a lot by his superiors. In the year since the war, he has begun to grow some facial hair; the extent of it however seems like a short five o'clock shadow. His hair is a mid-range brown. It's around shoulder length spiked up in the front and middle. Izlend's eyes are large and round, with a sapphire blue color. His wide eyed expressions is one of the reasons he is thought to be younger than he actually is. Izlend usually keeps himself and his clothes in a general clean state. However being a marine he tends to get dirty and has to go long periods without being able to clean. Thanks to his outgoing personality Izlend can often be seen with a smile on his face. The smile is called by some "smug".
After first entering the Marines, Izlend was given the standard uniform. This consists of a white short-sleeved shirt emblazoned with the Marine emblem. A simplified seagull with "MARINE" underneath it, on the back; a blue neckerchief; dark blue trousers; and a baseball cap with "MARINE" across the front. At such a low rank Izlend isn't allowed to make any variations to his uniform. Despite his many attempts to do so, the young man was always punished and made to purchase new sets of clothing.
History: Izlend remembers little before the two years he'd joined the marines. He knows his previous village was destroyed and he was living in the jungle for two years. However the details are fuzzy. The first memory he has is of little more than two three years prior. Running through the jungle, someone had just been killed. It was raining, raining hard. A group of men were following him, giving chase.
Who were they, and what did they want? He did know, all he did know is that they killed someone. The someone that was killed, Izlend felt like he was important, but he could remember.
Tears were running down his face.
But why? Again he couldn't remember. Jumping through to a tree, the boy seemed to be able to move quite ably. It almost seemed second nature to the seven year old boy. However the large force of men tailing him wasn't something that could be lost easily. Preforming feats that seemed inhuman the boy was gaining distance. BANG! Izlend fell to the ground, his shoulder was surging with pain.
What happened? Izlend looked at his shoulder to see blood bubbling out of a deep wound.
The men got closer and closer, to the boy's location. Fear raced through Izlend's mind giving him a burst of energy.
What would they do if they caught up to him? Staggering to his feet the boy just about fell forward, while trying to run. Using the momentum to gain speed the boy ran. The mud on the jungle floor squished under his feet giving his location away. It gave the men's location away. They were right behind him.
When did they get that close?SPLASH...He slid a couple of feet before coming to a stop in a large puddle of mud and water. The mud made his wound seer with pain. As the blood mixed into the muddy water, he tried to push himself up. However a large foot stomping on his back force him down. The pressure from the foot caused him to sink deeper into the mud. If they pressed any harder the ground would swallow him up. "Arrrgggghhhh!" The boy could only scream with a muffle as another foot slammed his head into the mud. Izlend couldn't breath, mud went up his nostrils as he tried. He tried to scream again, but nothing came out. Soon nothing became everything, darkness overtook him and there was quiet.
Cracking his eyes open, light flooded in. This caused his eyes to water and make the surroundings become blurry. He was laying in a bed under a window, the light was shining in. The trees outside swayed in the breeze and water dripped from the leaves. It appeared that it had rained the previous night. That reminded him, it reminded him of what happened.
What had happened? He couldn't remember what happened before that. Izlend couldn't remember what happened before he had waken up in a cave with his head wrapped in bandages.
Rubbing his eyes, his vision cleared a little. The room around him was simple; a bed, desk, with a chair. The desk and chair were wooden and nothing fancy. Hell the entire room wasn't anything fancy. It almost looked like the entire room hadn't been used until recently. Dust was everywhere, and covered everything.
Where was he? The door opened and a man wearing a cap with seagull on it along with a white lab coat walked in. Izlend had seen the logo before. It was worn by the men that came into the cave and killed the person. The person that was standing over Izlend when he first woke up with the bandages on his head. Out of fear Izlend bolted, and then began the chase.
"Who....who are you?" Izlend asked. Izlend looked a the doctor concerned, that he was going to hurt him.
What was going to happen? The doctor simply smiled. He walked forward and sat down on the old wooden chair. The chair or maybe the floor creaked as his weight was added to it. Pushing his glassed on to his face the doctor lifted his left arm and pointed. Specifically he pointed to Izlends shoulder. "I'm the one that patched you up." said the doctor with a smug smile. Feeling his shoulder, Izlend felt the bandages covering his shoulder. Like he could read Izlend's mind the doctor looked him in the eyes and spoke. "If I really wanted to hurt you, do you think I would have patched you up so top notch like?"
"I suppose not." said the boy frowning a bit. This was a bit of contradiction, since it was most likely his comrades that had shot him in the first place. Shaking the thought out of his head, he looked back at the doctor. "Where am I and what do you want. I don't think I have anything to pay you back." said the boy. "Oh I require no money what soever. All I ask you is that you join the marines and abandon your old life." said the doctor sternly. "What old life? I don't remember anything. Plus I can't leave until I'm fifteen. If I remember correctly, I'm only seven." Izlend said. "So...you remember nothing of your life before?" said the doctor. "Nope" replied Izlend. "Interesting, but you do know that you're seven and you can't leave until you're fifteen?" asked the doctor. "Uh, yeah I guess." Izlend replied again.
What was he going to do?"SO BE IT!" said the doctor chuckling as he got to his feet. Walking towards Izlend he reached out his left arm. "Wait...what are you doing?" Izlen said trying to pull away. It was no good, his struggling only caused the doctor to tighten his grip. With his hand around Izlend's neck something felt weird. His body began to grow, his legs got longer. Pain shot through his body as he was aged at an accelerated rate. From the age of seven to the age of fifteen, in seconds. It was unnatural. His body was slim and weak looking as if he had been laying in bed for eight years. He was nothing more than skin and bones at this point. The pain surged through his body, even after the process was over.
"What the hell did you do to me?" Izlend said wheezing with weakness. The doctor smiled a creepy grin the curled on his face. "You're now fifteen, and therefor can join us." the doctor told the boy.
What happened, how could that be possible? "You lie!" screamed the teenager. He knew he was telling the truth. However it was so unbelievable, he didn't want it to be true. The pain surging through his body told him it was only too true. Laying his head down on the bed, Izlend stared at the ceiling. It was over, he was defeated. Tomorrow he was going to join the marines.
One week after the ordeal the extremely frail looking boy stood on a boat. The boat was sailing, sailing towards a marine compound in East Blue. It was a rough ride. The entire journey a massive storm threatened to sink the ship. Izlend had never seen anything like it before. It was as if fate was against him going to the marine compound. However the ship didn't sink and Izlend reached the island. After the ship had docked he and the other recruits were herded off the boat. They were lined up while a stocky man with a marine uniform examined them. As he looked over the recruits, he got closer to Izlend. Smiling the man looked over Izlend, and jabbed him in the ribs. "Looks like we got a skinny one here....Jerjerjerjerjer!" laughed the man before continuing. Izlend spit out the blood in his mouth at the man hitting him in the back of his bald head. Spinning around on one foot, the mans hefty fist collided with Izlends face. Again, everything thing went dark.
A few weeks later Izlend was knee deep in mud. He was running by other recruits like they were sitting still. All of them looked physically stronger than him, yet he was leaving them in the dust, or rather mud. As the training went on, Izlend got stronger, faster, and more agile. He soon became one of the top in his class. This caused a bit of attention of the immediate superiors to shift. The spot light shown upon him, this lead to more trouble than anything.
The more time went by the more Izlend forgot about his old life and adjusted to his new one. His life was good; he had friends, food, and a place to stay. However there was one major problem, his mouth. The stocky man from before laid into him at least once in a week. The more he fought back, the harder he was beaten. Izlend wasn't the only one that received the same treatment. A few of the recruits did, the ones the stocky man didn't like. One of the men he beat on wasn't a man at all. It was a woman, that aspired to be an admiral someday. This enraged the man that a woman would dare to have such a dream while he was stuck at such a low level.
One day in particular the man got drunker than usual. He took the female recruit and tried to have his way with her. The woman screamed drawing the attention of nearly recruit at the compound. Izlend leaped out of the middle of the onlookers, he beat the man over the back of the head with his rifle. The man rolled off the woman. Staggering to his feet he landed a heavy punch directly on Izlend's stomach. Izlend skidded a good ways on the ground after he flew off his feet from the punch. Getting up, Izlend looked at the rifle in his hand, it was broken in half. Izlend pulled out his saber and charged the man. Ever since he had joined, he had acceded in his swordsmanship training.
Izlend landed a deep slash on the drunken man's chest. The marine began to bleed like a stuck hog, blood poured down his wide stomach. Unfortunately the wound didn't slow him down one bit. Staggering forward in his drunken stupor, the marine swung slamming his hefty arm into Izlend's neck. Izlend flipped before he landed hard on his stomach. Using his blade, Izlend stood back up. He wasn't willing to give up. If he did, something unthinkable would happen to the woman. Izlend would rather die than let something like that happen. So with what little energy he had left Izlend charged the man, his sword pointed at the man's chest.
The marine snapped Izlend's sword like a twig and slammed him on the ground. Izlend coughed up blood from the powerful blow. His frail body couldn't handle it anymore and Izlend passed out. There was no longer anything he could do. After he woke up, he found out the captain had been stopped by three other captains. They happened to be checking in on potential talent for their crews. The stocky marine was punished and relieved from duty. Izlend was punished for attacking a superior officer. With a new captain training them, the recruits had a smooth time the rest of the way. Izlend made it through the rest of the training without any major problems, however he did often call out his superior officers. This lead to some minor problems. Thanks to his nature and the event that transpired, he became know as two names.
"The Big Mouth or True Justice" Shortly after take a few says of leave the young man made his way to Water Seven. There was a crew, a crew legendary for their deeds on the Grand, one that had battled a Yonkou. He barged in and demanded to join, without a second look, the boy was now apart of a crew that would change him forever. It wasn't long before he was thrown into all out war. The whole thing was hell, but that's what he originally joined for. It goes to show the old saying was right; "be careful what you wish for." The battle for Alabasta. They were fighting a Yonkou, the crew had the balls to take on yet another of the four great pirates of the world. The crew didn't come out unscathed. They lost members and their ship was a total loss. Izlend was just about killed, badly beaten and mauled by one of the top ranking division commanders. However despite the odds, the boy held the monster off long enough for the royal army and prince to escape. He didn't realize it at first, but it was a pirate from the very same crew that saved his life. It was probably three months after he escaped the Yonkou's flag ship before he was able to will himself to admit it was so. Now one year later Izlend has drastically improved physically. Now faster, stronger, and sturdier, the boy stands at his captain's side as they sail to the Calm Belt.
Upon arriving at their destination the crew disembarked into the forest, or rather Izlend did for some much needed training. With in an hour the young gun had a platoon of giant mutated monster animals chasing after him, all native to the hellish island. That would probably be the reason the island was never able to be successfully populated by humans. As Izlend lead the beasts on the the shore, his crew and mainly Admiral Nishki quickly dealt the them. Izlend himself was barely even able to stagger one. Disappointed in his own lack of strength the boy soon ran back inside the forest, only deeper this time. A gaggle of giant primates jumped the boy, and with his trusty electric cane sword he was able to thin their numbers, but it soon became apparent that he would not win this encounter. Running for it, the boy made it to a muddy river in which the baboon like creatures were unwilling to cross. Just as he reached the other side a massive bannawani leaped out of the water and snatched a few of the monkeys from the tree tops. Entering a large prairie Izlend encountered a large rodent. The furry creature used it incredible speed to literally vanish, only reminding Izlend of how weak he really was.
Reentering the forest for the third time, Izlend was stopped at the river. A horde of the bannanawani were waiting for him to cross. He was literally swallowed whole, in a panic he began slicing and stabbing the inside of the beast. After what seemed like his entire life he was freed and swept down the river exhausted nearly to the point of death. Once again following the scent of blood the horde of bannanawani attacked. This time a humanoid praying mantis saved Izlend, giving him enough time to escape inland a little. Following the mantis Izlend discovered the creature was sentient and a master of swordsmanship. After Izlend battled his way up the tree to about one third of the way he was trained in the basics of the mantis sword style. The young man's fourth battle was with the rat, a rat that was as fast as a bolt of lightning. After a hard fought battle Izlend managed to killed the skilled rodent by using the feeling he got when it was about to attack. The hair would stand up on the back of his neck and the next instant the rat would attack, it was as if the energy it generated was radiating outwards from it when it built up enough energy to attack. Using that feeling Izlend predicted the rats attack and stuck out his sword. The momentum from that rats attack threw the swordsman into the back wall of the tree, knocking him out. Later Izlend woke up and ransacked the food stores the rodent had, most of it wasn't edible, except for one strange looking fruit. The taste was horrible, but it was food all the same.
Returning to the the crew, Izlend noticed that he was generating a lot of static electricity. However the young man didn't think anything of it. Walking to the ship, Izlend froze about knee deep into the water, he felt weak all of the sudden. It was like someone had just sucked all of the life energy right out of him. Shaking it off Izlend walked up the plank to the deck of the ship. Feeling better a moment he began to wonder
what kind of jungle curse had he caught.
Sailing along with his captain, Admiral Darnel, the crew came upon a distress call. It was from one of the marine bases they were shortly going to visit. Heading straight there, they found the place had been completely cleaned out by Doku. The former member of a former shichibukai and his crew mate attacked the Hooded Justice. Izlend went on the attack right away, however he was stopped by Kuro. Being another lightning user the two fought without gaining much. However their fight was soon interrupted by Karasu, the former Shichibukai. Holding his own against the mighty Karasu for a while, Izlend was eventually overpowered and then saved by Ferdinan one of his crew mates. Soon after the trio of criminal ran from the base, freezing all of them with some type of crystal like bullet.
Soon after the fight with Karasu, Darnel resigned his position as admiral. It wasn't clear if that was by his choice or not. At least in Izlend's mind, his fathers abandonment was the fault of Karasu. Vowing on revenge Izlend teamed up with Nite and Mail, they three made a pact to become admirals in the future. Tipped off, a large squadron was sent to the final island of the Grandline to stop a mass of rookies from entering the New World. Among these rookies was Yonkou hopeful Roko Cloud. However unknown at the time, even greater forces were at work such as Karasu and Derge. When Izlend heard Karasu was on the island he rushed towards the area his pet pointed him to. Karasu was already engaged with another marine, however Izlend still jumped in. After having his shoulder dislocated Izlend was knocked out and missed the rest of the battle. For surviving yet another fight with the monstrous former shichibukai, Izlend was awarded the rank of commander.
Personality: Izlend has a big problem with keeping his mouth shut. This tends to get him in trouble and is probably it took him over two years to get through training and to be promoted from a chore boy. Izlend likes to preach about true justice and will often point out why the higher-ups are wrong. This has gotten him his nicknames, the Big Mouth and True Justice. Besides his obvious appreciation of real justice, Izlend tried to be a good person. He believes that everyone deserves a chance. Izlend will stand up to superiors that don't treat others and the weak with respect. Despite his I will bring about the true justice attitude, Izlend is somewhat lazy. He tries to work on this flaw, however so far nothing important enough as come up to inspire him. Even with his strong personality and deep devotion to justice, Izlend often wonders if the marines and the world government is really the right way. This leads to major doubts as well as brief moments when he will help out the enemy rather than a comrade if he feels it's right. He remembers little of his life from before he was taken in by the marines. Since seeing the hell that was war, and loosing someone close to him, the boy has gotten a stronger work ethic. He has spent much of his time training physically improving a great deal. He's a bit quieter than before, but still has problems keeping his mouth shut. Many nights he stays up staring into the sky for if he sleeps the nightmares come. He feels responsible for the death of his crew mate, if he was only stronger he could have saved her. However he was nearly killed and captured while she died a horrible death.
