-Appearance information-
Physical appearance:

Body: Hal has a fairly lean build.  While not being extremely broad, Hal still has a fair amount of muscle mass on him.  Hal is roughly 6 foot and 7 inches (Or 2 metres) and weighs roughly 231 lb (Or 104.8 kg).  Hal has a slightly tanned complexion, not being a cream colour but only being so tanned that you can see he was originally Caucasian before he decided to lie in the sun.

Face: Hal has an extremely square face with his cheek bones and jaw and ninety degree to one another.  The jawline itself is rather firm and comes together in a double-cleft chin.  The bridge of Hal's nose is rather narrow but ends in a button nose.  He also has rather thick, blood-filled lips, ending at narrow points on either end.  Both of Hal's eyes have large yellow irises due to the power of a Devil Fruit that he had eaten during adolescence.

Hair: Hal has short straight hair, though becomes wavier the further away it gets from the growth point.  The back of his head has hair growing from the bottom of his ears, down to shoulder length at the spine and back up to the bottom of his ear.  Hal has a dark auburn hair colour on the top of his head, but the hair becomes lighter as it goes along it's length.  As well as this, Hal has a tuft of dark auburn hair growing on his chin.

Non visual information: Hal generally speaks in a Bass tone, though, if pushed to, he can speak in a Tenor.  Though this is true, speaking in a Tenor for long tends to strain Hal's voice causing his usual tone to become even deeper and rougher than usual.  While having no particular odour about him, if Hal's hair becomes wet, it generally gives off the odour of wet dog.

Extra features:  Hal doesn't have anything out of the ordinary apart from one or two things.  The first would be the large scar going from his left cheek bone, clipping the edge of his mouth and ending on the right side of his chin.  The second of these odd bodily features is the tattoo of a Dog's Skull on his right shoulder blade.

Clothing: The most common outfit that is seen on Hal recently is his Marine gear.  This a white cotton uniform with a blue trim on the shirt.  The word Marine, along with the Marine logo, are displayed on the back of the shirt.  The trousers are a navy blue colour throughout and Hal wears them with black boots that go halfway up his shin.  Hal is also often seen wearing the standard Marine cap with his uniform.
Along with the marine uniform, Hal is also seen wearing two other common outfits.  The first is from his days as a leader of a gang.  Hal wears a black leather jacket with no shirt underneath.  The jacket is often open, leaving Hal's front exposed.  On the back of the jacket is an image of a dog's skull.  Underneath the skull is the word, in fairly large writing, "Hellhound".  With this, Hal wears denim trousers along with the same black boots he wears along with his marine uniform.  
The second common outfit is a pinstripe suit.  This a simple yet fine black suit top and black suit trousers, both with white pinstripes going down them.  Underneath the top, Hal wears a plain white top and black tie.  Fine leather shoes are worn along with the suit.  Along with this a long, knee-length, black woollen jacket is worn.

-Personality information-

Personality Overview: Hal, while putting on an air that he doesn't care about people, generally cares a lot for the well being of his friends, family and even strangers.  As such, Hal has a code of honour with people he has never fought before.  That is, if they repent against what they've done, Hal won't harm them.  This is only true to people who don't attack him first.  Hal can be extremely violent and bloodthirsty against those he is fighting.  Suddenly, the personality of a happy-go-lucky, aloof man disappears and is replaced by a bloodthirsty, merciless warlord.  Hal generally is an optimistic sort of person, believing that there is a nice and loving person inside everyone.

Likes, Dislikes, Hopes and Fears:  Hal has a great love for loyalty and trust.  This doesn't necessarily mean just towards him.  Hal enjoys putting trust into someone, letting that person know that someone trusts them.  It is Hal's greatest hope and dream that he can become powerful enough to protect all that he holds dear, including every innocent in the world, and to see all evil perished.  On the other side, it is Hal's greatest fear that he will be too weak to protect people and that everything around him crumbles to dust.

I just have one concern. How did the devil fruit get there and attached to the tree?

My original idea was that Rasputin visited the island often, as it was home, and had killed the previous owner of the fruit. The power of the fruit then moved to a fruit in a fruit tree (Which I should have explained was a fruit tree). This would have been one of the reasons why Rasputin was interested in Hal in the first place, because he had seen the power before...However, having been thinking that over, I now ask myself the question: Why didn't Rasputin find the fruit? To which, I have no answer as of yet.

Ah okay that takes care ov what my main concern was.  Anyway it's a forest so maybe he just didn't find it or was unsure of the vegitation of the area.  Either way that doesn't have anything to do with the apps status.

Retiring Hal as his personality and actions are far too similar to Ikari. Does not make for interesting RP just having 2 of the same character.

This will make the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Barghest available to buy (I believe, anyway)

You might want to keep the devil fruit. It may come in handy to give someone or to trade with later. Are you sure you want to give it back, without any refunds, for staff or buyer use, which will force you to purchase it all over again should you decide to use it, even if no one else has used it? However, the character is now officially retired.

Eh, I guess I'll keep it if I'm allowed. Could come in handy for trading purposes.

Devil fruits can't be kept like a slot. If it's attached to a character then fine, you can sell it for beli however the person buying it would still need to pay the ap for it. If you choose to attach it to your second character (that's not necessarily eating it) it would have to make sense. For example the retired character would have had to been killed or been around the character when it died to detach the fruit. We also have a 5ap item in which you can remove the fruit from the character if you would like to go that route in which the second character wouldn't have to have been nearby.

I don't particularly wish to attach it to a second character, so I guess I won't sell it and just let it become open for anyone to find/purchase. Attaching it to Ikari wouldn't make much sense and I can't think of a good reason for a new character to just straight up find it.
