She seems to find some amusement over the nickname, but outside of that, Rei seems to prefer simply be addressed as either 'CAPTAIN' or by her given name a majority of the time. BIRTHDATE: March 28th AGE: Twenty-Three Years Old GENDER: Female RACE: Human SEXUALITY: Heterosexual MARITAL STATUS: Single ALIGNMENT: Chaotic NeutralPOSITION: Pirate CaptainCREW OR ORGANIZATION: The Eclipse Pirates APPEARANCE INFORMATION FACE CLAIM: Kido Tsubomi from Vocaloid HAIR: Rei's hair is somewhat unusual. Rather long and naturally straight, it is dark green in color. Often the most that can be seen of her hair are the somewhat unruly bangs that tend to hang over one eye and longer sections of hair that fall out of her hood and around her face. In truth, her hair is quite long and actually falls to the middle of her back, but the majority of it is normally kept hidden inside her hoodie. EYES: Her eyes could best be described as almond shaped, with a slight up-turn at the edges. It's the striking deep red color, however, that tends to catch many off guard and seems to give Rei's gaze a dark or somewhat demon-like appearance at first glance. HEIGHT: 5'5" WEIGHT: 140 lbs. BODY BUILD: Physically speaking, Rei is somewhat on the small side in both height and build. She appears somewhat thin compared to most, though her clothing actually hides an athletic and toned physique, she tends to lack any signs of the traditional bulging muscles one would expect from someone as experienced in combat. While she does bare some feminine curve to her figure, like most of her body, this is often hard to decipher, due to her choice of clothing. ATTIRE: Rei seems to favor a particular and somewhat more simplistic style than most pirates, usually wearing a black t-shirt that is hidden under her favorite hoodie. Light purple in color and trimmed white on the edges, with a square portion of the hoodie around the neck and upper chest that is dark red in color and has an adjustable zipper down the middle of the section that can be unzipped. The hood is almost always worn up and appears to have a design similar to black headphones across the top of it. Emblazoned on the back of the hoodie is actually the Jolly Roger of Rei's crew, the Eclipse Pirates. Further down, Rei is known for wearing a simple pair of dark green or black jeans, which are occasionally rolled up below the knee, depending on the weather. When it comes to shoes, she's normally seen wearing a pair of tennis shoes that tend to round out the outfit. OTHERS: While it is often difficult to see because of her long hair and hood over them, Rei actually has her ears pierced and wears a single pair of small silver hoops in each ear. They seem to have some level of sentimental value as they are the only jewelry she wears and appears to bare no other tattoos or distinguishing markers. PERSONALITY INFORMATION LIKES:

PERSONALITY: Rei could be considered a somewhat enigmatic figure as a pirate, even for her those who know her best. This is due in some small part to the fact that the captain is notoriously laid-back and easy-going, rarely demonstrates a great deal of emotion, even in the worst situations. This unique talent for keeping a cool head under pressure has certainly aided her over the years. Even so, while this may be a great asset, it can also make a very dangerous and deadly enemy to tangle with. While most would never guess from looking at her, Rei is actually considered to be something of a genius, particularly when it comes to the arts of combat. Because of this, she's become regarded as a brilliant and cunning strategist, especially on the battlefield. Rei's intelligence tends to come out in other ways, however, primarily as sarcasm. She is something of a smart mouth, a trait that over the years has got her into trouble more times than Rei can count or cares to remember. Of course, while Rei may come off as being rather cynical towards most, the young woman does actually have a good side. The hard part seems to be finding it beneath the prideful and distant mask. One exception to this rules does exist though, and seems to be with her crew. Deeply loyal and extremely protective over those she cares for, Rei won't hesitate to fight when it comes to ensuring their safety and happiness. Her reputation is not without some truth though, as behind that calm and collected mask, hides a nasty temper and something of a sadistic streak. It is this very ruthless nature when dealing with her enemies that earned Rei her nickname. Unfortunately, this also extends further into her personality as at her core, Rei is and will always be a pirate. Driven to achieve her goals at any cost, she seems to bare no qualms or moral obligations about using brute force or manipulation to succeed. COMBAT INFORMATION SPECIALTY: There is exists little argument that Rei's specialty lies in her skills with a blade and the art of swordsmanship. A veteran with a blade, her speed and offensive abilities are what earned the pirate her notorious epitaph and continues to make her an incredibly dangerous opponent. Because of her experience, she's been known to show to bare as much control, if not more so, over the nodachi she carries, than someone wielding a much shorter blade. This grace and fluidity with a blade is noted to be as beautiful to witness as it is dangerous. FIGHTING STYLE: As a swordsman, Rei remains something of a specialist in melee combat. When it comes to this pirate's fighting style, she tends to rely on two contributing factors. The first is agility and speed, which is often used to count any possible size and strength difference between herself and her opponents. The second factor is her mastery that combat is as much mental as physical. She is a strategist by nature and prone to seeking out and using any advantages in the area around her. Doing this, she can control the field of battle and manipulate her opponent to set up attacks to incapacitate or end her opponent. WEAPONS: - NEJIBANA - A long Nodachi sword that is often carried on her shoulder. The total length of the weapon is just under five feet long, with the actual blade measuring about four feet in length. The handle is decoratively wrapped in white and dark purple, with a long decoration hanging from the end. A silver colored guard leans down to the blade, which is engraved with the pattern of the sakura blossom. Likewise, the sheath is beautifully decorated with dark purple, with a lighter band of sakura-shaped flowers running down the middle. The end of the sheath has white swirls stretching out from the bottom in a matter similar to wind that form the shape of a bird and several flowers that stretch a quarter of the way up the scabbard. A lighter magenta colored cord can also be found wrapped around the sheath, evidence that it's creator's attempt to create more than simply a weapon, but a word of art. The sword is considered to be Rei's most prized possession and she tends to carry it around with her wherever she goes, often at her side or resting on her shoulder, due to the weapon's length and being almost as tall as Rei herself. WEAPONS ABILITIES: TOKETSU GIRI (Frozen Slash) An attack that uses the speed and single slash of a sword to cut down an opponent. The user initially begins on one side of the enemy and charges forward in a rapid burst of speed. This user then appears behind an opponent, with that attacking happening faster than a normal human can see. This can cause something of a delayed reaction in that an opponent may not realize they have been cut. The attack takes its name from the cool breeze that is often said that one feels passing when experiencing the attack. An incredibly powerful move, the technique is known to be capable of cutting through stone, iron, and even steel. [Duration: 1 | Cool-down: 1] TACHIKAZE (Earth-Severing Wind) An attack with a surprisingly long distance for a sword technique, the swing of the sword is released with such force that it unleashes a blast of condensed air that is capable of cutting through whatever it collides with, whether that be an opponent or even solid rock. The maximum distance the attack can travel is about 15-20 yards. The technique's name comes from the mistaken assumption that the user is striking the ground and that the slash travels across the top of the earth, when in reality is only done to further condense the air used for the attack. [Duration: 1 | Cool-down: 3] BACKGROUND INFORMATION HISTORY: Rei was born twenty-three years ago on an island in the North Blue. Growing up, she was primarily raised by her grandfather, as her mother died shortly after childbirth and her father vanished when she was only a few years old. Rumor had it that he went to sea, but whether this is true or not, Rei isn't certain and has never cared enough to find out. For Rei, her family became her grandfather, an old sword master, who had retired and made his living as a blacksmith as a means to provide for himself and his grand-daughter. While her family life was as normal as could be expected, with the old man ensuring that she got a proper education, there was one unexpected snag. Being something of a runt in comparison to other children her age and a bookworm to boot, Rei became the target of taunts and harassment from other children in town. Unfortunately, with her grandfather busy with work and no one else who cared, she attempted to simply ignore the matter at first. However, this did nothing to stem the tide of taunts and harassment. Unfortunately, one can only push a person so far before they snap. At just seven years old, that was exactly what happened. The day finally came when Rei had had enough and she lashed out at her bullies. When Rei returned home with a black eye and bloody knuckles, however, the truth could no longer be hidden and her grandfather was forced to make a decision. If he wanted to protect Rei, then he would have to teach her to defend herself properly. Despite some obvious apprehensions, the old man finally agreed, provided she never use such skills out of revenge again. Rei promised and shortly after began training. It seemed almost an act of fate, because from the moment Rei picked up a sword, she became enamored with the art of combat. When she wasn't training physically, Rei was training her mind and reading everything she could get her hands on about it. From medical guides to old combat manuals, stories of war and strategy told by pirate and marine alike. However, it was also during this research that Rei discovered piracy and one of it's greatest legends - the story of Gol D. Roger. Taken with the stories of freedom and adventure, she vowed to leave the island one day. Despite the old man's obvious apprehension to her going out to sea and attempts to dissuade her, Rei only proved increasingly more stubborn about the matter as her skills with a sword grew. However, fate was about to take a turn for the worst when a world noble came to the island for a visit. On a late evening, while in a hurry to return home from the market, Rei ran into one of them, quite literally. She attempted to apologize for the accident, but when told that it would only be granted if she begged for it, the swordsman's pride got the better of her. Unaware of who the man really was or the consequences of what she was doing, Rei immediately answered back with an arrogant snipe. Infuriated that anyone would speak so disrespectfully to a World Noble, the man pulled a gun and intended to shoot her. Rei probably would have died that day, if not for the intervention of her grandfather. When the gun went off, the old man stepped between them and took the bullet to the back, driving Rei to the ground with him. Forcing her to keep her head down and putting on something of a show until the World Noble left, convinced he had killed her. It was while she was face down in the dirt that Rei noticed the first signs of blood, but by the time she had managed to squirm free of his grasp, it was already to late. The bullet had pierced into his chest. Panicked at the sight, Rei attempted to solicit help. After all, this was suppose to be their home, where they had lived for more than a decade. Sadly, Rei was about to get a hard lesson in just where they stood socially, when both Marine and citizen alike ignored the pleas for fear of inciting the wrath of a noble. The betrayal was one that cut deeper than Rei ever cared to admit, but with no other options attempted to do what she could for her grandfather. He would die from his injuries a couple days later, but not before reminding Rei of her pledge not to use her skills with a sword to seek revenge. Instead, he asked her to live out her dream and be happy, to which Rei swore to find One Piece and become Pirate King. After his death, Rei remained only long enough to see the funeral before setting out to sea. However, it turned out to be a much more complicated place than she had ever imagined and it wasn't long before her skills gained the attention of a pirate captain. When he approached her initially, Rei didn't think to much about the matter and jumped at the chance to learn from someone more experience. Taking the girl under his wing, it was helpful in the beginning. Unfortunately, as time past, Rei was soon exposed to the darkest side of piracy and the vast networks of the underworld. In disbelief at first, Rei attempted to leave, but was to naive to realize just how much danger she was really in. Her attempts were cut short when it became clear that she also wasn't strong enough to challenge the captain outright. As a result, Rei was forced to remain under the Captain's thumb for the next five years, learning what she could and attempting to keep her head down. Six month ago, however, things changed when in amusement he agreed to let her leave. Rei wasn't about to question his motives and quickly snapped at the chance. Returning to the North Blue, Rei was intent on locating a crew that was strong enough to help her fulfill her goals of becoming the next Pirate King.
