Name: Dr. Aidoneus Phantom "Diablo" Cortez
Age: 41
Species: Tiger-mink Star-fishman cyborg
Occupation: Vice-Admiral/bounty-hunter
Allegiance: Marine
Home Village/Ocean: Harpeia
Appearance: Cortez has a metallic appearance, with every exposed body part being grey with luster and paleness. He has bright white irises with a purple tint on them, which makes them sort of iridescent and glowing ever so lightly in the light. He has large black glossy wings on his back, and a bright white tail about 2 meters in length with blackish purple stripes on it. He has long silver hair that falls down to his shoulder blades in the back, and his chest in the front, and is parted in a sort of V or U like pattern to keep the hair out of his face. His teeth are very spiky despite being mostly molars, only having blade or needle-like teeth in the front with his four fangs and carnivorous teeth, all of which are white as snow. Cortez's body has a sort of exoskeleton where every joint has a protruding spiky plate, and the plate covers everything except the next joint. The joints are covered in carbon tube produced by the government, making his joints look darker than other areas. He is about 235cm tall (91 inches, or 7 feet 7 inches), and weighs about 233.6kg (515lb). He has a long sliver tongue.
History:
Originally, he was born on a pirate vessel by a rogue minl who mated with a fishman. She left the child which was "ugly and mutated" according to her opinion of the appendages he was born with, including his wings, horns, and tail. He was raised on harpeia but after conflicting with the local politics, he was thrown off of the island and told to never return; purely ceremonial as he could fly, but he got the message. What he did learn from living up there in his pre-operational and young child stages is how to function with little oxygen; having fishman and mink blood already, he already has the genetic trait of using little oxygen but living in the very low-oxygen climate he adapted to hold his breath for as long as 1 month in the harpean area; in the oxygen-rich environment below, he could hold his breath for months and function at 100% if he didn't also need food and water. He tried to find a sky island to migrate to, but was attacked by a sky shark and fell in the blue sea to, of all places, a marine base in the paradise islands.
The marines didn't want him, so they sent him to a nearby island where he was kidnapped by fishmen. He was exposed to fishman karate while watching them escape, and learned how to breath underwater, which was not instinctual for him like the to fishmen; he couldn't do it as well as the fishmen, but with the ability to hold his breath it worked out fine. He escaped and informed nearby a nearby bounty hunter about them, who happened to be a mink. He was exposed to electro and molefu while watching him pursue the pirates. Having only watched the techniques, he had no talent at using them; however, when he returned to the marine base and signed up for the marines, they gave him training from the world government in rokushiki and life return. His training led to him combining the wind-based techniques he saw in harpeia, fishman karate, electro, and molefu with rokushiki and life-return into a single style he called "kindo", or the way of gold.
The marines, impressed by his progress, decided to send him to the new world and he functioned as a doctor on a marine ship for many years. At age 17, he applied for a transfer so that he could bounty hunt for the government which he received, at a price. In order to get permission, he agreed to top-secret research in cyborgs with kairoseki-based and skypean-dial-based technology. He was used as both a colleague of interest as well as a test-subject and practical-application-tester.
He started out as a normal grunt, serving as a sacrificial pawn to be slaughtered in the efforts of capturing pirates, but in the grandline he quickly learned to protect himself. He learned how to match the force someone tries to inflict damage with, and then distribute the force throughout a limb to deflect the attack. He then tried experimenting his abilities on the various pirates he killed. He learned how to dodge when something is a hair's length from impact; he also ended up learning how to clean quickly. Then he received the first upgrade.
While on a trip to meet a shichibukai, he and his fellow seamen were attacked by pirates. The captain was subdued via kairoseki, and the lieutenant wasn't strong enough to fend them off. The entire vessel was taken over by pirates, and they made ransom to the commodores; Cortez couldn't simply give up. He took the pirate captain by surprise, and attacked. He saved the ship by killing the pirate captain and then restraining his men. Recognizing his skill, the commodores gave him a rank recognizing him as a marine instead of a simple chore-boy, and then gave him a 3-rank promotion to Chief Petty Officer.
His goal after becoming an officer was to rise the ranks to Vice Admiral. He did not aspire further, because the Vice Admiral position was readily available, had the same level of authority and prestige, and gave him all the benefits he wanted. He wanted enough power to kill all he wanted to kill. His aspirations lead him to lead many missions for the marines. His many missions and exploits of killing, capturing, and defeating pirates to help the people led the Commodores to recognize him further. His captain then promoted him to Warrant Officer, to ensure the Commodores wouldn't accuse him of not doing his job. The Commodores didn't like that; they recognized that Aidoneus was stronger than that, and promoted him to Lieutenant. They demoted the Captain to an Ensign in displeasure. Aidoneus received his next upgrade.
With a new Commander in charge, he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander quickly. Aidoneus was trusted by everyone and had lead everyone during missions, and the commander decided to make the small authority change in recognition. He stayed with the commander almost all the time, leaving her during meal times, and break times. This commander was a female sharpshooter and often directed strategy while Aidoneus did tactics. They were partners for almost all of their missions, and eventually love sparked. Aidoneus grew fond of the Commander, and the Commander grew dependent on Aidoneus; one night, the Commander advanced upon Aidoneus and they embraced. Their union was detected quickly, as Aidoneus never left her side anymore, except in battle.
The former captain, now ensign, watched in horror as his rank and authority was quickly overcome by Aidoneus; further, the woman he coveted was none other than the one who offered herself to the freak. He grew increasingly restless until one day, he attacked her while she was defenseless, and left the marines to become a pirate. Aidoneus used everything in his power to keep her alive to no avail. She died after 12 hours of medical care. Aidoneus assumed the commander position, and led the crew after the former captain. Killing thousands of pirates and overcoming countless trials of environment and bad luck, they finally caught up to him and his new crew. Aidoneus slaughtered his entire crew by himself, and captured the captain; during placing the time it took to travel from the North-North blue to Impel Down, he tortured the former captain relentlessly, afflicting him with multiple wounds and poisons; he became known by his crew as Dr. because he once showed the former captain his own heart by pulling it out of the former captain's chest. The Captain died after three weeks in impel down, and the admirals recognized his feat. He was promoted to Captain in recognition, and promoted to Commodore by recommendation by the former commander and as a pity gift to him for having lost his mistress.
He remained a Commodore for years, until he was finally promoted to rear admiral in recognition for faithful service to the world government... After he finally said he had enough of being experimented on by the marines. He had had enough near-death experiences by the hands of inept doctors and rash scientists. The youngest to have a rank of any level of admiral at 26, it became hit news; all over the grandline it was front-page news. Interviews started, and eventually he told them to stop asking him questions because he had business and anyone to disturb him for such mundane affairs would be arrested and interrogated. He still hadn't achieved his goal, despite the recognition and he would not stop.
In order to prove his worth to the admirals, he challenged several shichibukai and yonkou, none of which are currently of their titles anymore, and defeated most of them. He also displayed his power and skill by defeating large rebellions and pirate alliances; unlike most other marines, especially of this rank, he did not have the moral code to not collect bounty; he continued to collect bounties despite having marine authority. To display, in spite of this fact, that he had a strong moral foundation and supported the government, he would take petty tasks left to commanders and even warrant officers and handled them personally, forced corrupt officials to do what the law demands, and upheld the law to the highest degree, not breaking even the most minor regulations and traditions, let alone laws, except bounty collecting of course. In recognition of his "promise" and experience, the world government insisted he be promoted to Vice Admiral, where he has remained, content with his title, ever since. He has a whim to become admiral, but no notion as it does not benefit or hinder him in anyway.
Over the past few years, Cortez had trained with his fellow vice admirals and obtained armament haki. He also trained his rokushiki. After a massive change in the global climate, all but 3 shichibukai became unaccounted for as all others, even admirals, died or went missing. The only reason cortez isn't an admiral is because he refuses to take the job by himself. Too much work and responsibility. This change resulted in Cortez being sent on various high-risk missions in the new world, rather than trying to reign in paradise. He is now more vicious and ruthless than ever, not to mention more powerful.
Personality: Abandoned and a freak of nature, he developed a secluded personality. Unable to understand emotions as others did, he developed an emotionless logic-based personality in which only proper reasoning rules his decisions. He did, however, understand desire, fondness, disdain, and covetousness. Over time, he grew fond of intelligent people and disdainful of fools, as well as a coveting desire for emotions as normally understood. He enjoys silence, riddles, destruction, construction, and speech. However, on a more dark side, he hates everyone as a whole for hating him; he hates himself for being an abomination. The real reason he came to the marines was for more power and an excuse to kill people to relieve his anger. He loves to torment and trap all kinds of intelligent life.

Learned Techniques (Keep it 1-25):
1. Kin Soru- Soru enhanced by moleman and fishman karate to have more agility in that it merely increases his normal running to soru speed; however, all motion must still be predetermined even though it can change directions.
2. Dengen Gheppo- This is an enhanced form of gheppo which produces a powerful shockwave which has the strength of a military standard grenade when in the air, and a tank cannon when on the ground. This is performed by using Shigan through Gheppo.
3. Rankyaku
4. Shigan
5. Gheppo Kamikaze- using concepts from both gheppo and kamie, this enhanced form of gheppo allows someone to essentially walk on air and seemingly float, even though the user is actually still using a gheppo like technique over and over again.
6. Shigan Nodachi- This is an enhanced form of shigan where the user makes rankyaku motions with the arms to create powerful air blades and uses the concept of piercing shigan to trap the air blade on the arm until the arm comes to a stop, essentially turning his arms into swords.
7. Kin Tekkai- the user moves his limb in a rigid block, using high speed in a shigan-like form to create a sort of partial tekkai as to enhance the block.
8. Kin Shigan- the user uses shigan through the entire limb, creating a extreme-power punch or kick that has piercing effect to it.
9. Tekkai
10. Kamie
11. Blue Punch- a punch creating huge shockwaves via fishman karate; and while underwater it can create temporary ocean currents.
12. Blue Kick- a kick creating a large water blade capable of cutting through most things, but not high-grade materials via fishman karate; underwater, it can create powerful hammer-like waves.
13. Blue Block- the user crouches and thrust at least one palm between his feet to create a shield of water via fishman karate; strong enough to flip 9-man ships and smaller when underwater (so it could flip the going merry, but not a battle ship). When using both palms, it can propel things long distances, and underwater it can obliterate small groups of ships (2-3) of nearly any capacity.
14. Blue Twist- the user twists water into an extreme pressure javelin than mimics an ocean current, and is similar in power, only much smaller. When in contact with a direct source of water, it gains an intense spiral and considerably more mass, allowing it to pierce even high-grade materials spare kairoseki and enhanced-high-grade materials.
15. Blue Flip- the user raises his arms violently, creating an upstream that carries in a forward angle flying upward, like chucking something; underwater, this can create tidal waves.
16. Brown Punch- the user makes a punch, collecting nearby metals to be used to make the resulting shockwave the durability of the original punch and harder than the original punch; with a source of metal nearby, the metals form a physical fist projectile to maximize destructive power.
17. Brown Kick- the user kicks, using metals inside the body to enhance it into a blade-like form.
18. Brown Block- the user makes a block and uses the metals inside his body and around him to enhance tekkai-liks defensive technique by increasing the durability of one's own body.
19. Brown Twist- the user amplifies a claw-thrust via metal to cause an omnidirectional shockwave controlled by the user that has great destructive power, being exaggerated as being as strong as the gura gura no mi, but in fact it is about 25% of its power, being only an average earthquake level.
20. Brown Flip- the user uses metals and ones own digging skill to replace himself with an earth-dummy. This earth dummy can controlled by the user, but requires the use of at least one limb, per dummy with a maximum of 10 when he ceases all motion (Cortez has 8 limbs + torso and full paralysis bonus). The dummies have 1/4 his power in all respects; however, they can be moved like puppets when beneficial, which the user does not typically have in their list of advantages. They are fragile like stone, as an added weakness, and dissolve on contact with water.
21. Kin Spike- the user makes a knife-hand form, and strike forward into a powerful shigan-type strike; this is enhanced by life return to be 3 times normal strength, creating a long-range air spike; this is enhanced by fishman karate and moleman fu in order to create earth and water spikes. Calorie drain.
22. Kin Slam- the user makes a knuckle-thrust hand position and performs a force-distributing attack enhanced by fishman karate, moleman fu, and life return in order to increase the damage and efficiency of the attack, essentially trying to flip and slam everything possible. Calorie drain.
23. Kin Rush- the user enhances his regeneration rates by means of fishman karate, moleman fu, and life return being used to gather nutrients, process nutrients, force cells to function at 100%, and remove harmful substances. Calorie drain. This technique heals basic wounds, like burns, cuts, blunt-force trauma, and etc, immediately. Over the period of the post, passive regeneration takes place at an extremely accelerated rate, capable of healing virtually any damage over a maximum of 3 posts, and afterwards recovery continues at X posts where X is twice the number of major organs/limbs regenerating + 1, for a maximum of 17 posts. After 20 posts, the body is put in survival mode and shuts down until fully healed.
24. Kin Shadow- the user utilizes life return, fishman karate, and moleman fu to enhance one's own body to blend in with the surroundings by changing skin tone slightly, and then utilizing water and metal content to completely camouflage via color scheme.
25. Kin Roar- the user utilizes his tiger roar, rokushiki, fishman karate, life return, and moleman fu in order to redirect his voice and control its amplification, pitch, and etc as to be completely mute to some, and loud as can be to others. As an attack, it can create a small compact shockwave with the force to stop a vast number of cannon balls (100 max). It's main use is communication.
26. Kin Substitution- and extension of kin soru: this technique pushes the limits of physical speed for just an instant; just long enough to make an illusion. When cortez is moving at soru speeds, he can use a physical medium which casts a similar shadow to his torse (jacket, cloak, etc) to change directions one time without prior intent by using the medium was a pivot. The result is an illusion of cortez being in the location of the attack for a moment when he was in fact using the time to relocate elsewhere.
27. Black Hawk- a punching attack that uses all of cortez's resources in conjuction with armament haki to create a powerful shockwave. In the instant before the blast, his body turns black, making him appear like a black hawk. The shockwave is capable of destroying multiple battleships or one reinforced building. The shockwave is visible to non-extrasensory abilities as being a strange ripple, and has an indefinite range. Strains the body and has a 5 use limit without side effects. 7 uses of progressive exhaustion. 1 use that causes full exhaustion. 1 use that knocks the user out completely.
28. Kin Rankyaku no Kurayami- a slashing attack made with a limb or hand-held weapon. Using martial arts and haki, one creates a pressurized blast of cutting power blackened by the influence of the haki on the metals and waters in it. The result is a high speed (half soru speed) cut which capable of cutting through the highest grade steel and non-enhanced diamond/nanotubing. Though it does not cut kairoseki or enhanced quality material, it does have enough resilience that if blocked by such a material the wave will spiral and create a tornado of razor sharp wind incapable lf cutting through steel.
