Out of Character Chat

Alrighty. @TheForgottenDoll @Nenma Takashi If you guys could let me know where in The Hallows your characters are so that I can write stuff into the post I'm working on for you guys, that would be fantastic. 


For everyone else in the Red Ribbon Pirates or in the process of joining the crew, I imagine the post will be up sometime tomorrow. I have something started, but I'm feeling very sick (I have a terrible head cold) and should probably get to bed soon. Tomorrow I only work a morning shift and should have plenty of time in the afternoon/evening to make sure something gets posted.

Full Name: Lynn Aquari


Nickname: N/A


Gender: Female


Age: 35


Height: 5'10"


Physical Description: Lynn is a Purple Tang mermaid that has a mature, medium build. She has dark brown eyes and long black hair. Lynn has purple, scaly legs and has yellow fins for feet. She typically covers her legs by wearing pants and socks or long dresses/modest skirts with leggings, and boots or shoes. For tops she typically wears button up shirts. Her doctor clothing includes an off white doctor's coat and latex gloves. For undergarments she wears modest bikinis.


Personality:


Lynn is a serious minded woman who gets right down to business during a serious situation. She has a dry sense of humor and is a bit more relaxed when nothing serious is going on. As a mermaid Lynn is always on the lookout for slavers. Lynn's secretive about the fact that she's a mermaid and does what she must to hide it; she dresses in ways that covers up her fish scaled legs and fin feet, and tries to avoid swimming. Though as a mermaid, she has a fondness of water, enjoys the feeling of water on her skin, and wears modest bikinis as her undergarments. Even though she's loyal, she has a strong drive to keep her mermaid secret from other people; if one of her crewmates tries to spill the beans when she's around she will try to stop them, sometimes with a karate chop to the neck, and explain that her crewmate was just exaggerating.


Lynn is a caring doctor with a serious and maternal bedside manner. She isn't a fan of violence, but she's not a pacifist either. Her fighting style can sometimes beak the bones of her opponents. She regrets this due to her interest in bones and anatomy, but in the end the Hippocratic Oath only applies to her patients. Lynn will do what she must to save the lives of her crew, her patients, or innocents, but is a reluctant hero when it comes to water rescues due to wanting to keep her mermaid secret safe. Growing up on Fishman Island, Lynn had heard too many stories of fishmen and mermaids being sold as slaves and she doesn't immediately trust people with her secret because of that.


Lynn is a realist that believes in what she sees. She wants to see the best in people, but is hesitant due to her drive to protect herself by keeping her mermaid identity a secret. As a doctor she'll try everything she can to bring her patients back to full health, but there are still some limits in modern medicine and she realizes that sometimes patients die. Lynn stoically accepts death as a part of life. If one of her patients dies, she realizes that she tried her best and typically quickly moves on; however, this doesn't mean that she likes it when her patients die.

Potential Position on a Pirate Crew: Doctor


How do you fight?


Lynn uses her powerful leg muscles in a fighting style that primarily uses kicking. She keeps most of her attacks unnamed as anyone with basic knowledge of anatomy would know what she was trying to do if she yelled them out. Lynn has a few special techniques in battle, but doesn't use them unless she has to because she thinks that they'd make it easier for people to figure.


Examples for regular attacks:


Butterfly Heel Kick: Lynn kicks at an opponent and aims her heel between the person's eyes (where a butterfly shaped bone is located).


Rib Cage Rattle: Lynn dilivers a flurry of kicks aimed at the opponant's rib cage.


Special Techniques:


Whale Kick: Lynn puts her legs together to momentarily form her tail and slaps her opponent with it.


Aqua Tibia: Lynn traps water moisture around the lower part of her dominate kicking leg.

  • Cyclone Kick: A roundhouse kick while using the Aqua Tibia technique.



Devil Fruit: None


Other Unique Abilities: As a Mermaid she's a really fast swimmer, can breath underwater, and can talk to fish.


Weapons Carried: None


Backstory:


Lynn was born on Fishman Island and lived there most of her life. Her childhood was similar to the many mirfolk and fishman children; she was told about how bad humans can be and heard horrifying stories of mirfolk and fishmen being caught and sold as slaves. However these stories didn't shake Lynn's childish curiosity and she would sneak off with other mirfolk and fishmen children to catch a glimpse of Seabody Archipelago. The sight of the ferris wheel in the theme park was very tempting. Lynn would often pester her parents (Dr. Calder Aquari and Brooke Aquari) about wanting to visit the surface, but she'd get the same reply. It would be dangerous for a mermaid to visit the surface world due to slavers; mermaids had the highest selling price in the slavery market.


Lynn wasn't happy about not being able to visit the surface would, but she tried her best to obey her parents. She would still occasionally sneak a glance at Seabody Archipelago's ferris wheel. Lynn's surface world curiosity became easier to manage after turning 10; on her mother's 30th's birthday she noticed that her mother's tail had spit into legs. After that Lynn became more determined to wait until she had legs of her own. In the meantime she began to help her father at his doctor's office. As a preteen she began to do the small things, but became a certified nurse when she was 17. Lynn helped merfolk, fishmen, and the occasional human tourist or pirate wanting to enter the Grand Line.


As a nurse and eventually as a doctor, Lynn saw for herself that humans weren't that different from the inhabitants of Fishman Island; both had their capabilities to do good or evil. Lynn dealt with various human patients; some fell in love with her, some were just grateful that they were healed up, while others tried to capture her. Lynn was too business minded to return the same level of affection toward the men that were smitten at the sight of her, but she was always happy with a successful patient recovery (unless they tried to capture her afterward). Lynn never liked be turned into a damsel in distress. Sometimes she was saved by a fishman or merman soldier, other times she managed to knock out the man taking her with her tail. Run ins with potential slavers left her wishing that she had her legs, but also made her wary enough to try to keep her mermaid secret as long as possible once she had them.


Lynn finally got her legs on her 30th birthday, but she remembered that it took her mom a while to get used to her own legs. Lynn realized that even with her legs she wasn't ready to venture out into the surface world. Wanting to leave Fishman Island sooner than later, Lynn started an intense training regimen that lasted for five years. She attached weights to her legs to help them grow stronger and developed a kicking based fighting style by joining fighting tournaments against other fishmen and fishwomen. At first the training left Lynn feeling sore all over, to the point where it became hard for her to move. Her parents, while supportive of their daughter, though she was overdoing it and forced her to take a couple days off from work when her soreness was really bad. Lynn was grateful for the the time for some R&R.


Over the years her training began to pay off. Walking with weights became easier and she managed to increase the weight of the weights a couple of times. She became more used to her fighting style and her rank in the tournaments continued to go up. When she was 34 she ditched using the weights. As her 35th birthday approached, she managed to come in 3rd place in the most recent fighting tournament. It would have felt good to get the gold trophy, but she was fighting fishmen not humans. Lynn figured she was ready to go to the surface world. After a quick 35th birthday with friends and family, Lynn headed to the surface with her doctor gear and a suitcase of clothing that would keep her legs and feet covered. As she passed herself off as human, Lynn quickly learned about Gol D. Roger and decided to try to be a doctor for a pirate crew. If she joined up with a pirate captain that was ambitious enough to become King of the Pirates, maybe she wouldn't have to worry about becoming a slave as much. 


Theme:
 
@Stormborn Targaryen I was thinking of letting Cygnus go after Chase. He's been looking for a tailor since the beginning in order to repair his cloak. The lost T-shirt gives make it a more pressing matter as Cygnus wants to keep his secret a little while longer. However, if you already had concocted a plan to join the crew some other way, then I will write my next post differently. So, can I disturb Chase or not?


PS, if you want to we could also make the next post a collab...
