Name: Carlos "Hook" Vivo

Age: 24

Bounty: 0

Species: Human

Occupation: Swordsman, Helmsman

Allegiance: Marine, Lieutenant

Home Village/Ocean: West Blue

Appearance: On first glance, Carlos is probably the first guy that anyone would choose to fight if he had the choice. He has an incredibly thin build, making him look weak and helpless, but he is everything but. Carlos is about 1.75 meters tall, and is packed with farmboy charm that adds to his innocent appearance. His light brown hair is the wildest hair in the West blue. It can never be straightened nor combed, and will always look like a massive bush that rests on top of Carlos' head, with tendrils pointing to all directions and covering parts of his forehead and matching brown eyes. The hair gives Carlos an informal appearance, and to cancel it out, he usually walks around with a hood that hides his hair. The hoody is brown with a few red marks over it, is quite old, and is worn over Carlos' marine uniform. Carlos usually carries a wooden tooth peak or a grass blade in his mouth, to distract him from smoking. He wears his marine uniform loosely, with his pants tied to his waists with a piece of simple rope most of the time. That rope is also holding both of his hook swords in position. He has a slightly sharp nose, and a few freckles on his nose bridge. Carlos usually stays away from expensive clothing as it might get damaged during his fights, so he usually walks around with cheap marine boots or a pair of simple wooden sandals.

History: Carlos was born in a small island in West Blue, close to Reverse Mountain, where many pirates pass in order to get to the Grand Line. Because of the island's location, it was always infested with pirates. The pirates were a huge burden, every pirate crew that came to island either stole from the villagers or fought the other pirate crews who were on the island, causing collateral damage to both population and property. The pirate problem affected the entire island, reducing many to poor states and costing lives to many families. Marine forces gave up on the island's safety, since no marine force could be held in the island long enough to completely protect it from the constant stream of pirates.

Carlos' father was a very powerful swordsman, the village's best swordsman. Because he was the best, he was unofficially in charge of keeping the pirates under control. He occasionally needed to fight against the pirates, making him suffer both physically and mentally. He was exhausted and wounded, but he just couldn't let the pirates terrorize the island without anything to stop them. Carlos, who watched his father's life slowly fading, wished to replace the man, and give his father the chance to live again. He wished to become the island's new best swordsman and save his father from this cursed title.

To achieve his goal, he secretly trained for many years, ever since he was 6 and could actually hold a weapon. He tried every sword he saw and every martial art he saw but could never master any of them, they just didn't fit. He kicked every log and punched every wall he could find and than he would come home to watch his dad fighting for his life. This became his life's routine: training and getting frustrated of the poor results he managed to get, coming home and watching what his secret failures caused. It scarred his mind, he couldn't believe how incompetent he was in comparison to his father. He felt useless, skill less, and mostly weak.

When he was 15, Carlos was sent to to the towns blacksmith to pick up a new sword for his dad to fight with, the old one broke after a single month. As he looked for his father's new sword inside the small shop, that was still damaged from last night's pirate raid, he noticed 2 swords the likes of which he never saw before. They were designed with a hook at the end and a spearhead at the bottom, Hook swords. For reasons unknown to Carlos, he felt that these swords were his future, these swords are the swords that he was meant to have. They were different, and were like nothing Carlos ever tried before, and since everything else failed, these swords just had to work. "How much for these sir?" Carlos asked the blacksmith, hoping they would be as cheap as the pack of gum he had in his pocket. "These are not for sale young man" the blacksmith answered, "These swords are my pried, I will only give them to someone worthy of possessing them". Carlos couldn't give up, his father's life depended on it, he just knew it, he had to convince the blacksmith somehow. "Well sir" Carlos said, "I hate to ask you for such a priced possession, but you must understand my reasoning. You see, my father is getting weak, he is getting crushed under the pressure of this island's protection, and no matter how hard I trained over the years, I just couldn't get good enough. However, when I look at these swords, I can see something like I've never seen before, they're my hope to save my father" Carlos said, hoping he could get to the blacksmith.
Seeing the fire in Carlos' eyes as he gave his speech, the blacksmith decided to give the boy a try. He was after all the son of their village's hero. And Carlos was right, these swords were a complete match. He controlled them perfectly, like he held them from the day he was born. And the blacksmith kept his promise, he gave Carlos the swords.

Carlos than decided to save his father. He simply waited for the next pirate crew to show up and when they did, he jumped into action. Alongside his surprised father, he managed to take down several pirates, showing sword skills that he never knew he had.
His father saw the boy's skills and confronted him. "Son, I've never thought I'll be overpowered by my own child but I was wrong. You made me very proud son, the proudest father in the world if I may say. But if you really wish to help this village, you need to leave it". "But dad," Carlos said, "How can I protect an island if I'm not in it?". "Join the marines my son, fight pirates wherever they are. You'll be saving much more lives by doing that than by staying here. Make me proud son, do not fight for me, give me a life without battles".

And Carlos listened, he used his skills to join the marines and to protect his island, and many islands, for his father's safety.

Personality: Carlos is a swordsman in spirit, it's his dream and passion. He is incredibly proud of his sword skills, and is always looking for new challenges to prove his sword skills and make the hook blades famous around the blues, just like he promised to the blacksmith. Much like his father, Carlos is very protective of his territory, his friends and his family, and will rush to their side without hesitation, making him an ideal marine. Since his father was the one who encouraged him to join the marines, Carlos takes his job very seriously. He is proud to be a marine, and will do anything to stop and fight piracy and injustice.
Carlos' will to fight clashes with his natural hesitation, making him go against his instincts in most occasions. He will always face dangers and enemies head on, but will always fear the results. He can't be considered brave, since he spends most of his time thinking about all the possible consequences of his actions, but he will always conquer his fears. He isn't much of a socially open type, and is quite awkward around members of the other sex, a result of his shyness. He can get attached to anything, from people and animals to objects, and usually develops a special bond with whatever ship he is sailing on, and an even closer relationship with his swords.

Ship: The Hooded Justice

Ship Flag: describe

Devil Fruit: None

Special Abilities:

Analytic Abilities: Carlos is able to analyze and comprehend ideas and actions much faster than other people. This allows him to analyze an opponent's fighting style quickly and retaliate with the proper techniques in order to defeat him. This skill is the result of his fears and hesitations, and is a key to his fighting style.
Helming Skills: Carlos is an excellent helmsman. He can sail any naval vehicle in existence, from massive ships to basic surfing boards. His skills allow him to pull off incredible maneuvers with relative ease, and sail through harsh conditions and dangerous climates.
Ambidextrous: From his many years of wielding dual weapons, Carlos became ambidextrous.

Learned Techniques:

Former Sword Styles:
Spoiler:

Post Rusukaina Training: WIP

Southern Bird Style: A straight-up upgrade of the formerly known Wing Art, born from the harsh training Carlos went through in Rusukaina. This style is composed of an artillery of moves that are meant to achieve one goal: Move Carlos around. Unlike the Wing Art, this time around Carlos has a few superhuman tricks up his sleeve, most of them are the result of imitating the monstrous animals of Rusukaina island.

Vermilion Wings: Carlos will raise both of his hook swords over his head and start spinning them around, turning them into a blurry disc of rotating metal. As a result, the blades turn from a weapon to a propeller, capable of lifting Carlos clean off the ground and allow him to fly about in surprisingly-high speed (Not to be compared with Soru speed).

Vermilion Ghost: With the added experience he gained in using Soru on the island, Carlos managed to create up to 3 life-like afterimages of himself while moving around, allowing him to trick his opponent.

Vermilion Willow: Using his hook swords and various walking techniques he learned while imitating animals, Carlos can now walk on almost any surface, regardless of its angle or slipperiness.

Western Tiger Style:
Northern Tortoise Style:
Eastern Dragon Style:

Soru (From his training with the marines)

Geppo (From his training with the marines)

Weapons/Items: Check and Mate

Character Flaws: Carlos has absolutely no long range attacks in his arsenal. Because of this, as long as the opponent manages to keep his distance and doesn't use sword-fired air attacks, Carlos is completely powerless.

Goals:
  • To clean the West Blue from pirates, giving his father a life without battles.
  • To prove his skill as a swordsman to the entire world, and make the Hook Swords famous.
