The kid is always seen with an winter attire, complete with hat and scarf. He does this to represent his place of birth, Drum Island. BIRTHDATE: Ansel was born on October 4th. AGE: Being the youngest Lieutenant Commander in the Navy at the time of his inauguration, Ansel takes pride in telling people that he is only sixteen. GENDER: Male, without a doubt. RACE: Human, although the boy would love to be a fishman at times. He adores the sea and envies the merfolk and other oceanic species for living in such a beautiful place. SEXUALITY: Heterosexual, although he's still not fully matured sexually, and thus pretty oblivious to the female sex. MARITAL STATUS: Single, and not looking for someone. ALIGNMENT: Ansel can be considered to be lawful good. POSITION: Ansel was the youngest person to become Lieutenant Commander in the navy's history. His position hasn't changed ever since. CREW OR ORGANIZATION: n/a APPEARANCE INFORMATION FACE CLAIM: CRAIG (anime), South Park HAIR: Ansel's hair is cut in a jagged styling so that it's longer over his ears, yet shorter in front of his face. Most of his hair is virtually always covered by his hat though. EYES: They say that eyes are the windows to the soul, and Ansel's are a vivid blue. They seem to become some shades darker when not exposed to sunlight. HEIGHT: 5'5" WEIGHT: 132 lbs. BODY BUILD: There is a reason why Ansel became a high-ranked marine at such a young age. He was molded into the perfect marine since a young age, both mentally and physically. He endured rigorous training, twenty-four hours a day with fellow marines, often ten years older then himself. The results are there though. Ansel's body is slim, yet very toned. He doesn't care too much about appearance though and he'd probably become as fat as pig if he'd stop training. ATTIRE: Growing up in a marine base, Ansel's sole outfit used to be the navy uniform, but as he started ranking up, his superiors started giving him more and more slack, thus allowing the boy to start picking out his own attire. One thing new recruits always had to learn was that they had to take pride in their birthplace, as they'd be in charge of protecting it and the rest of the world from then on, and so, Ansel customised his attire accordingly. Originally coming from Drum Island, Ansel chose to start wearing a blue sweater with a navy blue scarf. Over time, he also added a blue, wool hat to his wardrobe. He also wears a pair of black jeans and black sneakers. OTHERS: n/a PERSONALITY INFORMATION LIKES: ❥ Fluffy things. ❥ Going on adventures. ❥ Protecting others. ❥ Dogs. ❥ Making friends. DISLIKES: ❥ Snakes ❥ Violence ❥ Apathy ❥ Crime ❥ Secrets SKILLS: ᴥ Road runner Ansel is amazingly fast for his age, outrunning any avarage adult by a long shot. Ever since a young age, the boy's training has been focused around swiftness instead of sheer power. They don't focus on this randomly though, even before the training, it was clear that Ansel was gifted with great speed, both intellectually as physically. ᴥ Quick-witted As stated above, the speed Ansel has been gifted with is not only applicable to the physical side, but also to his mental capabilities. He is amazingly good in seeing through scams or understanding others intentions and can adjust accordingly. PERSONALITY: Constantly happy, Ansel is one of those people that can always make you feel good. He has a perpetual smile that never seems to fade away. He also has nothing but good intentions, and doesn't think that violence is necessarily the solution to everything. Most marines tend to think that fighting pirates is what they're supposed to do, but that's not the way Ansel looks at things. The boy wants to protect the world, not eradicate all pirates. Other navy recruits generally think that he's just too young and naive to understand what the world is all about, but that's not the case. He just has a completely different idea of how peace should be achieved. He prefers communication above everything else and thus tends to spark a conversation with everyone he meets, often to the annoyance of the other person. He means no harm though and simply wants to ensure that everyone is happy. When in a pinch, Ansel tends to calm others down before thinking of a solution. The boy has had to struggle for his place in society his entire life and has thus become much more stress-resistant than your ordinary sixteen-year old. He tries to keep his cool at all times. However, it's not always sunshine and roses. Ansel also has mysterious side. Growing up with people twice his age, the boy has never REALLY had anyone to share his secrets and thoughts with. There were recruits that took care of him as if they were his older brothers, but he's never had a real friend before and thus has never felt true friendship. Ansel is also over-caring when it comes to others, often bringing himself into the danger zone in an attempt to calm other people down, or save helpless civilians. The boy is virtually alone in this world, and this means that even though he doesn't even know it himself, deep down he is troubled and is storing all of his problems away, until they'll finally all burst out. COMBAT INFORMATION SPECIALTY: Although Ansel despises fighting in any way or form, he has been trained in it rigorously and has thus created his own style of fighting, implemented self-made techniques and variations of the standard navy martial arts. When fighting, he prefers getting up close and personal in an attempt to hit vital points on his foe's body to end the battle quickly and flawlessly. To accomplish this, he uses his small posture and agility to dodge incoming blows and position himself before his, often much bigger, foe has time to parry his movements. This fast and accurate style of fighting also has a downside though. Because the boy always focused on increasing those two traits to their maximum potential, he's had to neglect other things, such a sheer strength. His training automatically provided him with some powertraining, but not exceptionally much, this means that once a stronger guy than him manages to pin him down, the boy has little to no chance of getting out by relying solely on his own strength. FIGHTING STYLE: Having been trained by a master swordsman, it was only logical that Ansel were to become a swordsman as well. The boy, stubborn as always though, didn't want to wield a regular blade like everyone else, he wanted to stand out, be special and thus went searching for his weapon of choice. After a lot of searching, he came across an ancient weapon called a 'Pata', which was not that different from a sword, except for the fact that there is gauntlet integrated to the blade, which functions as a handguard and handle. Because it was still some sort of sword, the boy was still able to use what he learned from his sensei, may it be with a little variation. Over the years, when he started becoming more and more important in the navy, he started personalizing his weapon, only to end up with what he has now. The boy now fights with a retractable pata, which thus functions as two weapons in one, fighting gauntlets and the traditional pata. He has mastered fighting with both and has thus become an even more lethal foe than ever. With a combination of agility and accuracy, the young marine aims to neutralize his foes swiftly and silently, so that he can go on and do more important things. WEAPONS: Hunt of the killer wasp (狩 しゃちほこ 蜂) Two rectractable pata's, one for each hand. The weapons were named after the way Ansel uses them. The blades are hidden in his sleeves virtually always, but when necessary they lunge out in an attempt to surprise his foe, quickly stabbing where necessary, before dissapearing again in the boy's sleeves. This movement is comparable to that of a wasp's stinger. Retracted until the wasp decided to lunge it into the skin of an unknowing foe. Ansel can also choose to use them as normal blades, thus locking them in place in front of his knuckles. People always say that something is only as strong as his weakest link, and thus Ansel did a great effort to remove all of the weapons weak parts. The lock mechanisms and retraction device of the blade were all hidden behind a plate of steel, similar to the material his gauntlet is made out of. WEAPONS ABILITIES: ᴥSoru - level I The Soru, literally meaning Shave, allows the users to move at extremely high speeds in order to avoid attacks, as well as to attack at higher speeds and with greater power. It was revealed that the principle of this move was to kick off the ground at least ten times in the blink of an eye. Ansel has only recently have had the fortune to learn this technique and hus thus not mastered it yet. For now, it only appears to give him a considerable boost in speed, allowing him to travel short distances quickly. However, it takes it's toll on his endurance and after a few times, the boy can start to feel physically drained. ᴥGeppo - level I The Geppo, literally meaning Moon Step,allows the users to actually jump off the air itself, allowing them to stay in the air for much longer than usual. Users of this technique can use this technique to cross great distances without ever touching the ground, or set themselves up for swift, aerial attacks. While the technique itself affords several advantages in both in and out of battle for the user, it has but one major weakness: since its usage depends heavily on the user's legs, restraining or pinning down any major parts of their lower body can significantly disrupt Geppo. Ansel started learning this technique at the same times as Soru, but both turned out to be equally hard to master. Even though experienced Geppo users can use the ability to stay in the air for extremely long periods of time, Ansel can only use it to jump a great deal higher than others for now. He can kick himself off the air twice, thus launching himself three times higher than he would get without it, but after two times, he loses his balance and falls to the ground as if it were a normal jump. BACKGROUND INFORMATION HISTORY: The night of Ansel’s birth was anything but cheerful. The weather certainly saw to that, the rain caused the depths of night to be even greater. As well as the misfortunate weather, Ansel’s parents suffered immensely when they were plunged out of their comfortable home environment and into the darkness of a cave just outside of Drum island’s only town. They were trapped with a few other people, but none of the other guests had any sort of medical training. Ansel’s mother was pregnant, and there was nothing his father could do but let the pregnancy occur in the insufficient shelter of the cave in which they had become trapped. The small baby that was Ansel was born into the cave, on that dark stormy night. It only took a few hours for Ansel dad and a few other strangers to escape from the cave while Ansel’s mother cradled her new born child. The mother and child were rushed to the nearest hospital through the darkness and howling wind. The pair was seen to immediately by a doctor, and a midwife. Luckily for the family of three Ansel didn’t have a scratch on him, and although the pregnancy had occurred in a cave, everything had gone as if it were in a sanitized hospital bed. The nurses recognized Ansel as a ‘real warrior’ with the will to live, and his parents chose to name him accordingly, as Ansel. It was a tragedy for the two day old Ansel and his father the boy’s mother died two days after giving birth. Through the boy’s entire life, he never had a chance to know her, and never received a scrap of motherly affection. Not able to raise a child on his own, Ansel’s father decided to one of the most disgusting things he could’ve done. Short on money, he decided to sell his own child to the underground, to gangsters. However, luck was on this infant’s side. During a raid, marines stumbled upon him and rescued him from being sold as a slave. The government adopted the child and enlisted him into the Marine Academy ever since a young age. It was here that the boy was essentially raised. Life lessons were taught to him by marine teachers and his personality was molded into what it was by rigorous, hard training. At the age of eight, Ansel was informed of where he was born, but he didn’t want to hear it. To him, Mariejois was his home and the teachers were his parents, but he was quickly silenced and the boy was taught to always have respect for his place of birth, even though his good-for-nothing father had lived and possibly still lived there. Over the years, Ansel grew more and more into the model marine he now is. His training is still not complete, but the boy has lately been achieving more and more farm within the navy and the World Government in general.
