| Name: Daikoku ten Age: 23 Bounty: None Species: Human Occupation: Cook, administrator/Quartermaster, Lieutenant. Allegiance: Marine Home Village/Ocean: South blue Appearance: Daikoku, or Koku to his friends(as he will be referenced like that throughout the application) is a man of long stature, standing 1.85 meters tall. Koku is rather thin as he only weights from 65 to 70 kilo. He has a rather friendly and maintained face, with short lines of eyebrows and a shaved jaw and upper lip. His eyes are light blue to the point where you could compare it to the sky, and they always seem to reflect as if were mirrors. His hair is dark blue, and is often combed to the left or right, but he never leaves his room without doing it some way. Koku has severa cutting scars on his hands and fingers. For the rest Koku would fit the regular male's description of the body. Koku is often seen wearing a crossing between the regular cooks clothing(apart from the famous cooks hat) and that of the marines, creating an extremely tidy white outfit buttoned together with long white sleeves, with a cut going from the sleeves the the wrists(as is regular with safety hazard prevention clothing in the kitchen) He also wears a pair of jeans, but he can be seen wearing any other kind not easily flammable clothing in any color. History: - Spoiler:
Daikoku, known as Koku to most people, was a man raised in a strict but quite wealthy family of warriors who have served the world government for a long period of time. His life wasn't easy as he got physical training as soon as he got home, something Koku did not have the aptitude for. As his parents saw that he was still struggling with even the most basic of weapons stances at the age of 12 they decided to increase the pace of his training, only this time in another art their family has been a master of for centuries. It was a technique emphasizing on the usage of foods of all sorts, and using them as a weapon. Carrying with them the book of 1342 recipes, a book filled with the strangest of experimentation's having used the strangest of ingredients. Koku had been promised to receive this book that had been passed down the generation if he managed to pass his training, which was incredibly difficult. The reason why was because the combat style used was insanely intensive for someone of his age and not that much training. But the feeling he got closer to his lineage the more he learned made him pull through.
Around the time Koku turned 17 he was officially announced a master of the cooking style his family used, but on the day of graduation after a ceremony in the nearby woods they came back to a burning house. It was later known to them it was a deed by a rival clan on the island, one that was disgraced many times by Koku's clan. As his father ran in to save the book that had been passed down for generations Koku ran after him, not for the book, but to stop his father. But as expected his fathers will and body were too strong to prevent from going in, and as a result Koku was left following him, trying to convince him to turn around in a burning building. As they got to the storage room where the book was bars collapsed into it, and Koku's father was caught under them. With his dying words his father requested Koku to continue the work, his legacy, as in the clan culture Koku was in it was more important to pass on the knowledge of previous generations then to value your own life. As Koku made the decision to honor his father he want to recover the book, only to notice it was already partially lit on fire. Collecting whatever was left of the book Koku quickly ran with the remains to the outside after putting out the fire that was on the book. Coming out coughing from the thick smoke he took another glance at the book, it was ruined, but perhaps he could still salvage something out of it.
After one more year Koku could feel slightly accomplished. In his year of work he was able to piece together 27 base recipes and a quite the amount of text explaining where and how to find the ingredients. But it wasn't even nearly complete, more then 90% of the information that were not recipes were lost. As thus Koku decided to continue on the ancient old tradition of his clan, and he would write down any recipe he discovered and any ingredients in great detail, in the hopes of one day restoring his legacy's glory.
on the age of 19 Koku joined the marines, as was regular for men born in his clan. It gave them the chance to travel the world yet fight for that which is right, that was what his father said one day. Remembering those fateful work Koku worked his hardest, but even the marines saw he was better as a administrator and caretaker then a soldier, and as such he was often granted the title of supply officer or quartermaster on ships he was stationed. But thanks to the satisfied captains he was under he quickly rose in rank to the point where you cannot simply get promoted for extended periods of duty or hard work. The time came when Doku had to gain achievements, and he was hoping his ragtag friend he obtained through service could help him with it. Personality:Koku is a very clean and systematic person, as much to the annoyance of his fellow comrades he find it necessary to often point out their duties when they are slacking off. Koku also holds great respect towards the chain of command, as such he would never doubt an order from a superior unless it would be completely out of line. Koku also dislikes engaging in battles where his clothes might get dirty, or even get blood on them, so even though he is known as a warrior he rarely fights. His work around the ship and office have earned him the nickname of 'maid' among the crew, much to his annoyance. He has often found himself in a position where he was capable of silencing the sailor division members about using that nickname through his authority as officers, but many superior officers have found a liking to the nickname as well. When off-duty Koku tends to try and relax, and instead of doing everything systematic he dials back a notch and tries some new things, like experimenting with new recipe's. Koku also likes to explore local nature, and loves to gather new ingredients from all over the world, or so he wants to. Koku can also be often found writing in his recipe book, sometimes even whilst on duty, but since it looks like he's just making another list or keeping track of another thing nobody ever objects to these actions. Ship: Standard marine vessel Ship Flag: The marine flag Devil Fruit:N/A Type: N/A Effect: N/A Special Abilities:Great cook; Koku is a great cook and has a lot of knowledge on ingredients and cooking styles. Novice pole-arm user; Koku is a novice with pole arms, and as such has a more natural affinity with weapons like; spears, lanes and halberds. Battle cook; Koku is able to create weapons out of any kind of food by adding strange ingredients he discovered on his travels. Learned Techniques (Keep it 1-25): Paste Roux;This recipe would under normal circumstances be used for a 'bound' soup, however as a secret ingredient the user adds special fluid drained from a irregular eel found in all the blue's, but not the grand line.The fluid makes the Roux extremely sticky and hard to remove, forcing the user to coat his hands thoroughly with flour. The Roux that is applied to anything not covered in the neutralizing factor(flour) will stick. The Roux would only be removable by someone with above average strength, and even then it would have to be removed with a tool. That, or a large quantity of flour must be applied to the Roux making it so dry it won't stick anymore (replacements might be found after discovering new ingredients) Brick brownie; This recipe takes the normal brownie dough ingredients and adds a special extract gained from a common lotus flower originating from the north blue. Once the extract is added the dough will actually start to press each other together to form a supper dense dough, this however goes with the cost of the size, although under normal circumstances dough is added as the original dough is shrinking/gets denser. Once the super dense dough is put in the oven in whichever form Koku puts it, it will get as hard as stone, whilst still retaining a weight less then actual stone. Aging Tea; This recipe is made with the same ingredients as any other desired tea, but adds the extract from the famous corro snake(corro=short for corrosive), which is famous for their venom that can make most metals rust. The tea has to be heated, but then must rest for at least several hours before the venom does not go in conflict with the other ingredients( The time in posts it takes may vary with the pace of a thread). Weapons/Items: One Marine issued rifle Goals: To complete the cooking book passed down to him from his father.
