Crocker L. Kass

Name: Crocker L. Kass
Alias:
Age: 21
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 140 lbs
Appearance:


Personality: Kass is a seemingly brash young-adult with a unnaturally high self-esteem and near immobile willpower; one of which he is more than willing to show. Tending to be and act in a very violent and brutal fashion, and showing little to no hesitation or remorse when he beats down his opponents. Acting somewhat enjoyably sadistic when fights, especially when he is enjoying a good one, as the rush of a good fight is unlike anything else to him. That being said; fighting is one of the only things that he even strives for as everything else is far to simple minded and dull. While in a fight he rarely ever cares if he is fighting one opponent on its own, or even 5 against himself as the only thing that he does not allow is someone assisting him in his battles.

He firmly believes that everyone should be out for themselves and themselves alone as helping in any way does nothing but teach one to rely on others, making themselves weaker in the process. Therefore the only way to become the strongest is to be the lone wolf in a field of predators and sheep. This belief stems from his experiences with the so-called 'Higher Classed', who rely on their brutes and enforcers to do their dirty work and once they are gone they are weaker than a defenseless child. As well as stemming from his self-esteem as he finds the idea that someone is better than him to be strange and alien.

Despite being rash, vulgar, many times outright cheap, and relentlessly unforgiving he does seen to have some sense of honor. If he comes across someone who he wishes to fight, if they are not in top physical or similar condition he will simply refuse to fight them; as they are not worth it then. Though it tends to end there as any other time he will simply rush into a fight headfirst without any thought or regret, only to stop once he himself or his opponent is beaten. Caring little about who he fights, their position, or the amount of collateral damage that occurs from his fighting style.

History: The life of the pirate known as Kass is similar to many others that end up in the dangerous world inhabited and ruled by pirates. Growing up in a place that no one in their right would even consider to live in, let alone a place where children had a chance to survive in. From the earliest that he could remember the only one that he could ever rely on was no one but himself. Having no mother to take care of him, no father to protect and teach him, and not even a mentor to take him in. He had to not only learn the ways of the world by himself, but get back up each and every time that the world kicked him back down into the ground.

In the slums that he grew up in the one and only truth was that strength will survive, and those without will ether wither away in the ground or follow behind the strong. Kass, from the first time that someone tried to shove him into servitude, understood this truth and did everything that he could in order to make sure that he was included among the strong. He began by challenging the boss of his towns district, though unlike others he did not challenge him for the right to take his place, but rather to just beat him down for being included as one of the strong. After countless attempts he finally defeated the districts boss and left the position for someone else.

Until he was 17 his life continued on this path, defeating the slums bosses in order to prove to everyone else that he was the strongest. In the areas in which he was victorious little to no one dared to mess with him, and nearly anything he needed he could just take as he pleased; though unlike most of the strong he would only take what he needed to survive.

It was not until two things that occurred that he finally decided to leave the slums for the sea. The first thing was that he was able to defeat every single boss that dwelled in the slums, and the second was once he obtained a devil fruit after ransacking a chest in a traders caravan. Though it was not because he obtained the fruit that he decided to leave, rather because someone ratted him out to the owner; a lesser noble from the high district.

After the robbery the lesser noble hired a group of thugs from the slums to kill him off and retrieve his merchandise, unfortunate for him was that Kass killed off the thugs with ease and beat the information out of them. That night he received a unwelcome guest, in the form of a new devil fruit user from the slums. The next day the lesser nobles body was discovered beaten to a pulp, though still alive he would never be able to use his arms or legs again, and even talking or taking a crap would be difficult. Showing him what it meant to mess with him. The same night Kass disappeared from the island, finding his way onto a boat and onto the sea.

Character's Background:

The life of the pirate known as Kass is similar to many others that end up in the dangerous world inhabited and ruled by pirates. Growing up in a place that no one in their right would even consider to live in, let alone a place where children had a chance to survive in. From the earliest that he could remember the only one that he could ever rely on was no one but himself.

Skills:

• Tracking Abilities: Part of being a Vanguard is the ability to find your enemies, this being a skill that Kass takes a great deal of pride in. Having a natural talent in noticing the smallest of details around him he is able to track even the most elusive of opponents through nearly any terrain, and not just through sight but also through the sense of smell. Essentially he can glean a large amount of information about a person from the smallest of details or smells. Though his ability to see details is not just limited to tracking, as he is also able to see further and see high-speed movement or see things during high-speed movement.
  
• Unnatural Reflexes: Even before his fruit came into his hands he has always had the knack for quick and precise reactions. Allowing him to react to opponents who could, at the time, move faster than he could.
  

Combat Techniques:

• Spring-Step: Using the abilities of the Bane Bane no Mi, Kass will turn his lower legs into springs, granting him a incredible level of jumping and bouncing power. Once in use, the longer it is used the more speed and momentum he can obtain; allowing him to inflict incredible amounts of damage. Even at its lower speeds it becomes difficult to track and follow his movements, become more of a task the faster he moves.
  
• Spring-Tap: Once his Spring-Step is already in use, and when moving at high speeds, his movement is limited to what is around him and essentially limiting his options. To counter this, by releasing a large enough force into the air he can momentary cause the air to compress and grant him a foothold. Effectively allowing him to bounce off air or even water.
  
• Spring-Shock: Once his Spring-Step is already is use, by storing a larger than normal amount of force in his legs he can leave a spot at incredible speeds; leaving behind a 'void area'. Then, as quickly as he had disappeared, the area collapses in on itself, causing a terrifying explosion that can dig craters into the ground. This ability is intimidating not only due to its power, but also because of its unpredictability.
  
• Spring-Strike: Using the abilities of the Bane Bane no Mi, Kass will turn one of his forearm or legs into a compressed spring. Where he can then instantly release the stored momentum allowing him to strike his targets with little to no effort or movement at high speeds, both in close and long range. Overall making this tack very unpredictable.
  
• Spring Shell: Due to the nature of his fruits ability to become springs, his own body naturally becomes more spring like. Granting him a body as hard as iron, inhuman flexibility, and superhuman jumping and bouncing abilities; all without even turning any of his body parts into springs.
  
• Spring-10-Tap: Because of the nature of a springs ability to extend and retract naturally. He will throw a attack at a opponent normally or though the use of his 'Spring-Strike' he will seemingly only throw a single attack at the target. But in fact throws 10 due to the springs in his limb quickly extending and retracting, though each successive attack becomes stronger than the one before.
  
• Spring-Charge: Using the abilities of the Bane Bane no Mi, Kass will turn one of his forearm or legs into a compressed spring and have it extend and contract on its own; though from appearance it will be barley moving. In a short period of time the amount of force that is built up in the spring drastically increases, and upon released can deal a devastating blow to any defense.
