Childhood

Born into a loving family with strong connections his future was planned out by his parents before he could even walk or talk and as he grew up to the age of 5 he learned how to walk then a little later learned to talk. After learning to walk and talk from such a late age his parents were a little worried about him and weren't sure if he would become successful in the goals they had set for his future. They feared he wouldn't be able to learn at a quick enough rate to become such a good doctor and as their dreams began to fall apart. They were unhappy and a little disappointed in what they were seeing in their son at such an early age. They tried teaching him some medical terminology from an early age. Bartholomew was taught parts of the body & the organs at an early age to give him a head start in the area medicine but he didn't seem to take any interest and his parents began to fear what he could do in the future. As they searched through their connections for other routes their son could head into Bartholomew showed no interest in any of the jobs. His parents wanted him to become something successful like a world renowned surgeon, world famous cook or one of the world's best shipwrights. Everyone else in their family aspired to reached high paying jobs. His mother was a well known head chef and father a medical documenter. He would write down information about new diseases and such.

Teenage Years

On Bartholomew 's 13th birthday he still hadn't shown his parents anything special he could do which could lead to a high paying career and his parents were beginning to get worried. They had sent him to an expensive Private school in which he would learn about subjects in great detail, as he went to the school he never seemed to stand out doing anything until one day when a child chose to pick on him. He raised his fist in attack and struck the boy. A fight had broke out between them in the playground and as the two fought before a teacher could break them apart Bartholomew proved to be the victor and had knocked the other boy unconscious. He was placed in detention for his actions whilst the other boy was taken to see the nurse. As Bartholomew was spoken to when he got home that night it was revealed he had a talent for fighting and his parents thought they had found the right career for him to get into. Both parents were overjoyed and smiling at the thought of their son becoming a Marine. If he could fight so well then he would love the thrill of fighting pirates and beating them up only to arrest them and maybe someday he would reach Admiral. Applying for their son to join the Marines both parents informed Bartholomew who refused the offer.

Bartholomew 's parents weren't happy with him and told him he would join but he replied to them saying. "I will not join the Marines. I didn't ask for you to apply for me because I don't want to become one. I don't want to catch criminals." As he was asked what he did want to do Bartholomew shook his head and looked out the window. He really didn't know as he hadn't yet found something he wanted to do. Looking out the window and his parents began to feel worried again. A few days later a letter arrived and Bartholomew got hold of it before his parents reading it he saw how the Marines said they would be happy to have him join and he thought about it for a few days not letting his parents know about the letter. Whilst he was at school during one lunch he headed to get some food with friends but as he did so he saw how Marines were asking about protection money and Bartholomew felt anger towards the Marines. He had actually been thinking about joining them in the past few days but this made him re-think it. He returned home and burnt the letter.

Adulthood

As he left school at the age of 18 Bartholomew still wasn't sure what he wanted to do with his life and found himself once again reconsidering joining the Marines as he needed a job badly. Looking around for other places to hire him no where wanted him due to his qualifications not being so great and just average. Bartholomew didn't much care as he just wanted a simple job. He eventually started asking around at the docks if anyone needed any help with anything as he seriously needed money and wanted to find a job to keep him busy. Whilst asking around he was eventually asked to help out as a deckhand aboard a ship, as he climbed aboard the ship and worked cleaning it shortly afterwards did he realise it was a Pirate ship when they refused to pay him. Bartholomew was told that this was a Pirate ship and he was now a member of the crew. He asked about being a Pirate and was told by members aboard that it was a fun exciting life with so much adventure and he grinned at the thought of adventure. He had wanted to do something adventurous but never thought about a life of piracy. Being a criminal. Could it be what he wanted to do? He travelled with them for 2 years never really getting into any fights or even being associated with the crew and thus gained no bounty. He enjoyed and had made friends with the crew. He wasn't getting paid for working on the ship but he didn't mind as he was happy to help and take part in the adventures when it came to treasure hunting.

Whilst out hunting for treasure buried at sea due to Bartholomew not being a devil fruit user he was asked to dive under the water and head to the sea floor in a homemade diving suit which he happily did. As he went under to find and recover the treasure along with some other crew mates he began to find himself losing breath. He found the treasure chest which was smaller than he had thought it would be. When he looked around he found a few more and tried grabbing them. As he swam back up finding breathing difficult he struggled and found himself becoming light headed. As he reached the water's surface he heard the sounds of swords clashing and gunshots and tried climbing aboard the ship with both treasure chests. By the time he managed to get aboard Bartholomew saw how the ship had been raided. He saw his crew pretty much slaughtered and looked off into the distance to try and figure out who it was that had done this. He could see a Marine ship in the distance sailing away and a tear dribbled down his cheek.

After mourning the crew of which he'd befriended Bartholomew cracked open the treasure chests to find the larger one had bottles of rum inside of it and old tattered treasure maps which were all crumbling. He sailed to the closest island where he burnt the ship of his previous crew. He was upset and didn't want to do it but felt it was the right thing to do and as he did so he set off remembering the acts of the Marines. How they had tried threatening money from shops and killed off his friends. His mind was finally made up, he wanted to become a pirate. He didn't know if he would be any good at it but he would soon find out. He had seen the fun his previous crew had, had and wanted to have that fun too. As he set out he began to learn more about what being a pirate included.

After choosing to set sail as a pirate Bartholomew began to mature and grow into a young man. He became much quieter and relaxed whilst travelling on his own. he liked having the time to think but would've preferred time to relax on something comfy. With the little money he had he knew he would have to get used to committing crimes especially if he were to become a Pirate. He constantly thought about committing crimes and how he would do it. He loved the thought of it and knew he would love the adrenaline but the thought of running into a bank with a nodachi he'd picked up when he chose to begin a life of piracy scared him. He loves training and getting stronger and gaining more notoriety. Bartholomew loves to hear his name muttered in fear as it has been but hates to have people attacking him when he is tired. He doesn't like to rush things and doesn't always seem very determined.

NEW Star Trail-Performing a simple slash at an enemy with his Mourning Star the blades used for this all cut at different angles slicing through foe's skin.

NEW Barb Wire Grip-Using his Mourning Star Bartholomew holds the staff and throws it in such a way he launches it so the bladed stars dangling from it wrap around a part of their foe's body such as the arm, leg or neck (If lucky) and the blades dig into them making it hard to escape the grip. The more the foe would struggle to free themselves the more the blades would dig in and the grip would tighten not only strangling self but cutting deeper.

NEW Mace Wrapping the blades around the staff itself Bartholomew can use this weapon like a mace to attack foes.
