Mitchell Stray

Mitchell has lightly tanned skin and light brown hair and grey eyes, his skin is smooth, he has fairly muscular body but not too muscular or too defined, but it can be seen that he has muscles. His arms legs and chest aren't hairy, he has a little snail trail though. No facial hair at all and thin eye brows, Mitchell has a scar in a cross shape over his chest which he received years ago on the streets. The rest of his body is unscathed. Mitchell wears casually smart pinstripe trousers some trainers he managed to scavenge and a poncho which he finds comfortable to wear. The poncho is blue with white patterns over it. He wears a white scarf around his neck which usually hangs down to his belly button when not blowing in the wind. On his back in a black sheath is his katana, his katana is an ordinary one which has a motto engraved along the blade which says. "The blood of a stray always finds a way."

The South Blue was his place of birth and where he first experienced his taste of the cold harsh reality of life, Mitchell grew up with his parents till the age of 5. His idolised his parents when he was little as they always seemed like gods towards him. His parents were both Marines and powerful ones who were rarely beaten. They had met whilst fighting as Marines and 7 years later they had gotten together and had Mitchell.

By the time Mitchell reached the age of 5 his parents had tried training him, they wanted him to be strong in the future they planned on him being as strong as body of them put together. Since he was only 5 he still wanted to play games and be a kid but his parents wouldn't let him as they figured training always started off young. Mitchell refused again and again till he was finally removed from the house by his parents and thrown out on the streets. They hoped that tough love would make Mitchell realise how important living inside was. Mitchell cried as he was left on the streets he hated it and didn't know what to do, he was found by a group of dogs who led him to their pack. As Mitchell was taken to their pack he was put at ease by the dogs nuzzling up to him.

For the next 4 years he grew to live with the other stray dogs and became the leader of the pack, he had made some loyal friends among these dogs and they were more of a family to him than his actual parents who had thrown him out. His parents had gone out looking for him a few days after throwing him out but couldn't find him. Mitchell's parents had searched everyday for him but never found him but since no dead body was found they knew he had to be alive somewhere. Being the leader of his pack Mitchell had picked up many dog traits, as he led his pack around the town collecting food and valuables Mitchell was seen as the odd one out for being a human. He never got in trouble with the Marines since he was simply the ringleader and ordered the dogs about whilst they were out stealing food. Mitchell had a close connection with the dogs and they had a form of understanding.

Since he was living with stray dogs Mitchell took the last name Stray as he figured since he was one just like all of these dogs he may as well keep the name instead of his parents as they had cast him aside for refusing to do as they told. Mitchell had spent 4 years growing up with these stray dogs and a few including the dog who found him had passed on. At the 5th year of his being with them it was surprising that Mitchell's parents hadn't found him yet but he was often hiding away back where the pack stayed in a closed of alleyway. Over the 5 years he was with them much had happened and through scavenging Mitchell and his dogs had collected together enough scarp to make a little home for him to sleep in which would keep him warm from the cold nights along with the other dogs which slept alongside him.

At the age of 13 Mitchell had began thinking of what he was going to do in the future and realised he couldn't stay with these dogs all his life, as much as he loved them he knew he was going to have to leave one of these days and decided to do it this day as the longer he left it the harder it would get. Mitchell tried telling his friends this news and the dogs all whimpered in depression at losing him. As a leaving present one of the dogs brought forth a white scarf wrapped around something black. As Mitchell took it into his hands he placed the scarf around his neck and looked at the black object.

It was a simple sword but he appreciated the gift and placed it on his back grateful for the gift, hugging the dogs one last time he stood up and turned to leave. Mitchell wasn't incredibly literate as he had grown up among dogs but as he walked out into the open street for the first time in a while like a normal human being he felt awkward and wanted to crouch down to all fours and run like he used to but fought against the desire. Walking down the street in his current state made him easily noticeable and this is when his parents who had given up the search for him 5 years ago saw him. Picking him up from the street and forcing him into their house Mitchell tried to grip his sword but his hand was caught by his father and his father ripped the sword from his back.

Dragging him home for the first time in 8 years Mitchell felt like a stranger Mitchell was forced to go for a bath and clean himself up which he did as he knew he wouldn't be able to escape his parent's. His parents began by forcing Mitchell to tell them what he had been doing and once he had told them his parents simply laughed at his life. They were proud he had managed to scrap together a life but disappointed he hadn't done anything towards getting a career in his life. For the next 3 years Mitchell was locked away at home unable to ever leave the house without supervision from one of his parents in case he ran away. His parents did everything they could to train their son up to become a strong Marine. They taught him Maths, English and many other life skills he lacked and how to use a sword and how to fight without one. They even applied for him to join the Marines but when the day came to show up Mitchell used what he'd learnt from his parents to escape them. It was difficult escaping both of his parents as they knew his capabilities but jumping into the water made it much harder for them to follow as they both had Devil Fruit powers.

Never really feeling he had a home Mitchell wanted to return home but since he didn't feel like he had one he chose to stow himself away on a small supply ship. Mitchell crept aboard a small supply ship and hid in the supply room so he had easy access to food. As the ship sailed away to another island he found himself waking up in a completely new territory. He was angry at his parents and what they had put him through but at the same time he was grateful for what they had taught him. He missed his friends but this was his life now his life was out here and he now had to find a way to live. He didn't want to join the Marines because then he would be sent straight back to his parents. Mitchell began to alter his learned techniques, he didn't want to be predictable if he encountered his parents again so he trained himself to use his techniques in different ways. Feeling that his life had somehow been made different from escaping his parents and remembering all of his loyal friends Mitchell took the sword he had been given by them as a gift and gave it an engraving which read "The blood of a stray always finds a way."
