-Ram faked a smile to the male. She shook her head to the statement of making friends. Then he spoke of a meet and greet. She had to make an excuse other than she was scared to go. She blurted out, “I was sick.” She then sunk down into her seat, she wanted to hide. She wanted to escape. She felt sick, she was afraid, she was excited. She ended up smiling and wanted to take one of his needles, but instead she folded her arms and hid her head in them on her desk, not wanting her smile to be seen.-
-
-Ram looked at him and saw the needle. That was new. She shivered a bit in fear and delight in her fear. She got a tingling thrill off of it. She looked him over and said, “I… don’t know about that. My mother said I shouldn’t even be here, let alone play with other kids. That’s why she gave me a brother. We play all the time.” She knew good and well he was dead. Her mind was telling her to say that. She had no choice in her answer. It was like part of her self was stuck at the age of five, though her body was a starting teenager. “When do we get weapons?” She asked bluntly, hoping he knew something. This was too new for her taste. Too much new all at once, and she loved it.-

-Ram blushed the slightest bit as she was spoken to. She wanted to hide but there was no where to do so. She instead looked at him with a softer look. Her chest expanded as she took in a breath and said, “I… um… I don’t know what you mean.” She didn’t know what this slang was. It scared her, it was new, but she enjoyed it. She wanted to know it he felt fear too, but she would have to test that later.-

-Ram gazed at the boy in the front. Her eyes pierced through him as he was new to her. She had a slight mental flash, her brother’s face. He would have probably been here too if she hadn’t done what she had done. She glared at him and breathed heavily and before she knew it, she was standing next to him and nearly breathing down his neck. She realized that she was too close and ran back to her seat in the corner. She shivered in terror at the thought of how close she was but she lusted for his blood.-

-Ram walked briskly from her home and went to the Shibusen. It was going to be her first day of training and she was nervous. Her hair was caked with heavy layers of dirt so it didn’t flow very well when she walked. She made her way to the classroom, noting that there was a boy there already in the front. She took a deep breath and adjusted the rags covering her chest as she made her way up and around the back of the classroom to the farthest seat in the corner. She didn’t want anything to do with him and hoped he or no one else would talk to her.-

Name: Ram
Race: Kishin / Meister
Age: 13
Description: She has long black hair that reaches her butt despite being caked in dirt and blood. She wears tattered clothing, afraid that new ones will cause her to catch something foul. She also wears no shoes, liking the feel of dirt beneath her feet.
Partner: N/A
History: She was born in a normal family, her father was a weapon and her mother was a meister. She didn’t get any of the father’s abilities but that was alright. She liked playing alone with her toys and as she grew to the age of three, she had started to become lonely. She was reprimanded about anything new, like being told not to touch things like animals or play with other children. So they had another child so she wouldn’t be alone. This small boy, was very special. He had the traits of being both a meister and a weapon. This made her jealous. When he turned 2, she was 5, and very agitated as he mimicked attacking with bladed fingers on her toys. That was new to her and she was afraid, very afraid. During the night, her grandmother on her father’s side was in her weapon form. She picked her up and made her silenced, taping her to her hand so the part with the mouth couldn’t talk. She managed to match the output her grandmother put out, it felt amazing. She then walked up to her brother’s sleeping body. She cut him open and heard him cry and bleed. Blood was new, it was frightening to her. She stabbed him again and again but only more came. She shook and then something even more new showed up, an orb of some sort. She took it in her untapped hand and shook a bit. It was bright and she heard her parents coming. She didn’t know what to do or where to hide it so she put it into her mouth and swallowed it. The parents threw the door open and turned on the lights. She looked at them, covered in her brother’s blood. She breathed heavy, scared of what her parents might do to her and the blood dripped into her mouth from her face. It’s iron tones were new, but she didn’t fear it, she enjoyed it. She stepped to her parents, shaking and lowering her head. Her parents picked her up just to find her smiling. She stabbed her mother, the closest one and her hand went up through and into the chest. She felt a thumping in it. What was it?! It frightened her so she reached her other hand in and tore it out to see what it was. She didn’t understand as her mother lay twitching on the floor. Soon an orb from her appeared too. She looked at her father and he backed away, his fear made her tingle. She watched him trip over a table and she pressed the knife into his ankle, watching the blood spray out as the charmed words of a five-year-old escaped her lips, “What’s wrong daddy?” She walked up to his chest, sliding the dagger up his leg and across the center of his stomach and stopped mid-sternum. He gasped for air as his entrails fell out of his carcass and he gasped for dear life. She then got up and took her mother’s soul into her and stood, watching her father reach up and gasp for help. His diaphragm had split in half and the vaccum effect for his lungs ceased, him coughing as she watched him die. This was new. It was frightening. She enjoyed her own fear. She then un-taped her grandmother, who immediately took human form to try to escape. She ran to the door as Ram grabbed a flower pot, throwing it at her and it shattered into her back. She walked up to her grandmother and said, “Why couldn’t I be a weapon too? Why was he so special?! WHY WAS I LEFT OUT?!” She then proceeded to rip out a pot fragment and brutally stab her to death. She turned as a light shown from her father’s body. She ate his too. It tingled. They all tingled inside of her. She felt great but something was wrong. Others heard the noise. She used the pot fragments to cut herself to near shreds. The people came in and searched, seeing her as the only living occupant and bleeding out fast. She was in medical care for a while, restoring as they tried to figure out who had done such a thing to the family. When she turned 10, the search had dropped and they moved her into Death City for protection. She feared everything there, but after living alone for three years and getting a touch and go with death plus being registered as a meister in the Shibusen, she adjusted. Mostly… -

-Tanakami watched her stuff get placed onto their boat and then opted to stay on it. She climbed aboard and sat on the edge. That was dangerous for her to do but she didn’t care. She spoke to Carina, “I can handle a night watch. My powers are a little useless then though. Only fought at night once, and had to wait for the sunrise to kill.” She watched Axel take off then sighed and stared out at the sea. Her crew was out there looking for her and she was hiding in another crew. She let her mind blank out.
She resumed her focus when he came back and seemed very dark. She listened to the explanation and cocked her head a little bit. He was friends with a high bounty person. This was intriguing to her. She sighed and then said, “So you know the high bounty person. Cool. And just to be clear, I am only sticking here til Logue town. I have something special I am going after.” She smiled and pulled herself to stand on the edge then let herself back on deck.-

-Tanakami let her shadow come back to her as he came to help her. She witnessed his power and him lift the barrel up on his shoulder. She listened to his offer, her shadow relaying her what it heard. She looked at him and said, “I don’t have a ship. I have a Dinghy.”
She had spoken dead serious, assuming the captain of his crew was there she spoke out, “I wouldn’t mind hitching a ride but I don’t got much to offer in return. Unless sharky is interested in some physical contact.” She gave him a wink then walked to point out her dinghy, which had a little meat and some rum in a corked barrel. She then turned back to them and said, “If that’s it then well, thanks for the help. If you don’t mind my uselessness, other than looks and fruit, then I would gladly hitch a ride.”-
-
-Tanakami looked at the slightly agitated looking captain and leaned a little down. She was taller than her but certainly not as tall as Axel. She smiled and said, “Guess she is a fine captain. Certainly has brains to pick you.” She stood back up and smiled as he stepped into the shade of a tree. She laughed at him and said, “You have everything correct. I am Gekko Tanakami. Also, I wouldn’t steal from someone who is interesting. Though I might tickle it a little bit.”
Her shadow formed a duplicate of her and tried to brush up close to Axel, if it was allowed, the hands of the shadow traveling down and checking out his body a little closer. She would just laugh at them, “Ki shi shi~!” Then walk away, heading to the trader and leaving her shadow there to watch them. The shadow would still try to get frisky with him.
Tanakami would walk to the trader and lean over the counter a little and ask politely, “May I have just some salted meat for traveling and a barrel or two of rum or something. Just need things that won’t spoil.”
The person behind the desk grumbled at her and took out a couple pounds of meat. Rolled out one barrel and set it up then took another one and threw it on her before saying, “Just leave.”
Tanakami gritted her teeth but she wasn’t going to lash out at the person. She understood protecting one’s home so she took the meat and rolled the full barrel back with her foot, still leaving what seemed her shadow out and about.-

-Tanakami had kept her gaze locked on the strange group so the sudden roar nearly startled her. She looked over and saw the man from the poster. He fended off the people from the village and past him, she saw the little girl. But her eyes went back to the massive figure before her. From how he spoke she knew what he was, a smile forming across her face.
She heard him speak to her and it caused her to giggle to herself a bit, “ki shi shi,” then her head cocked a bit as her purple hair fell over her shoulder like fire. Her voice was quiet but absolute, “That old thing? I don’t believe in those times. So what? One little thing happened who knows how long ago and a girl can’t get some supplies? That is just plain rude.”
Her eyes traveled up and down his body and she took him in. “So you’re that bounty. No wonder you got so much,” She spoke happily and allowed her sharp teeth to show in a large open lipped grin. “You simply must be the captain. I have kept your bounty poster since I first saw it, I am a bit of a fan of your looks.” She offered him a sly wink then looked to go find what would be a place to get food to get going.
“Take it you know this place,” She spoke a bit awkwardly and asked, “Could you show me where I could stock on supplies? Heading to Logue Town.”-

-It wasn’t long before the captain marine and his wife got on board and they took sail towards Cocoyashi. This would be a 15 day journey. At arrival Tanakami was 19% stronger, 12% faster, and 33% better with her Devil Fruit. They also gave her clothes to attempt to make her look more like her father but with an added touch. She wore her normal black shirt under a black leather tail coat, dark red pants that had some give to them with a studded belt, black leather boots that fit her feet exactly, a pair of pointed gloves that gave her sharp nails room, and a black belt collar which had pieces of seastone inside of it and against her neck so she couldn’t use her powers unless she took it off.
They lowered her dinghy for her and even gave her a rope so she could tie it up at docks. Even though they had offered to give her a few supplies, she opted to go get her own. With that she walked onto the dock and saw that there was a ship far on the other edge, she never noticed the wreckage around the island as she had been inside getting dressed. This didn’t bother her and she just walked straight towards the village to get supplies.
She tried to ignore the locals but seemed she was a bit of an attraction seeing as her horns were showing a bit more by how she was now parting her hair. She shied from them and popped her collar up to hide her lithe neck. She ended up being greeted by a small group of people who seemed to want her out. “Go away, freak.”
Tanakami looked at them and spoke without a smile, “I am just here for supplies and then I will be gone.”
They glared at her and wouldn’t budge, neither was she. They just had a stare off as they didn’t seem to want to use brute force on her and she didn’t want to use brute force on them.-

-Tanakami settled back and they brought food out rather quickly. It was a gorgeous display of fish and vegetables. She let the smell sink in and she just smiled widely as she picked a part of the meat with her fingers to eat it. The Marine was still in shock from the dinghy comment and didn’t bother to correct her etiquette, only to respond with, “You travel all alone on a dinghy?!”
“Yup,” Tanakami spoke with her mouth half full of fish. She was seeming cautious of touching the vegetables.
“That is truly impossible! Let us grant you passage somewhere. If all you want is to seek your birthright we can at least offer you a lift,” The marine spoke with a seemingly open smile.
Tanakami finally grabbed a vegetable, it was a carrot. She crunched on it and left out a sound as if she was in heaven. She then returned her mind to the conversation after chewing and swallowing. “How close can you take me?”
“Cocoyashi,” The marine spoke and was finally being disturbed by her eating etiquette.
“You really are too kind,” Tanakami spoke with her mouth half full. She swallowed and said, “I don’t get why you would do this for a woman who you just met.”
The marine took a deep breath and said, “You seem determined. You don’t want to go to the grand line for jewels or fame. You just want your birthright. To want to pit yourself out there on a dinghy alone to the seas is just remarkable. If you let us lift your dinghy, we’ll go to Cocoyashi and train you on the way there to better protect yourself.”
Tanakami smiled and her teeth even parted, “Are you serious sir?!” She was trying so hard to not laugh. He’d let her giggles slip but if she laughed, the whole guise would be over.
“Yes, I am,” He smiled back to her despite the teeth still taking him aback. “Once you finish and we pay then we can go.”
Tanakami nodded and attempted to finish her meal, getting down most of it before she had to stop. She stood herself up and said, “I will get my dinghy to your ship, which on is it?”
“Third from the right,” He spoke up and then continued, “I will let my men know you are coming and what to do.” He took out his snail phone.
Tanakami nodded and headed outside, untying her dinghy and rowed it over to the ship. Looked like the crew just got the call as they looked down and threw ropes to get the dinghy up and tied. Tanakami helped them a bit and she looked at the crew as they looked at her. Seemed they were confused by her appearance and she was confused by their staring.
It wasn’t long before the captain and his wife got on board and they took sail towards Cocoyashi. This would be a 15 day journey. At arrival Tanakami was 19% stronger, 12% faster, and 33% better with her Devil Fruit. They also gave her clothes to attempt to make her look more like her father but with an added touch.

-Tanakami sat back in her seat as if what she just dropped on the marine was nothing. He seemed to sweat a bit and said, “Proof…”
Tanakami peered up at him and spoke in a slightly confused voice, “Excuse me?”
“I want proof,” The marine demanded of her. Tanakami smiled to reveal her teeth to him and pulled up her purple bangs to show her horns and high enough to reveal that she had a widow’s peak in her hair. The marine smiled and said, “You really are! How could someone so hot come from that lard?” His wife hit him on the arm for calling her hot.
Tanakami giggled a bit, “Ki shi shi…. Not like it was important to me anyways. Made me then left me on that forsaken island.”
“He was a terror for a while,” the marine shyly admitted, “The files even say he was a great Shichibukai. Though fell after the war. Not much is said on it but he disappeared. No death record or anything. Maybe that was when you were born, how old are you?” His wife hit him again.
“I am 21,” Tanakami answered openly, “Soon 22. But I am trying to find my birth right. You probably know what I mean.” She folded her fingers ahead of her and smiled up at them.
“Ready to order?” The waiter returned and had brought water for her, him assuming she had no money on her.
Tanakami was about to speak and the marine jumped the gun, “Give her this here on the top.” He pointed at a certain meal, Tanakami getting a peek at it and smiling a bit.
The waiter nodded and walked away as Tanakami looked at him and said, “You know who I am now, why so nice?” She was purely curious and sat back as she awaited an answer.
“You obviously haven’t taken to a life of piracy. You are here, aren’t you?” The marine spoke cockily but didn’t wait for a response as he said, “Besides, I think everyone can be saved. You might have been born a pirate and if you think that ship is your birthright, perhaps it could be a new start for it. Just one issue, it IS on the grand line.”
“I know,” Tanakami spoke and smiled, “I just need to make it to Logue Town and ask around for information and stuff, make my way to it.”
“Good idea but,” He paused, “What are you even sailing on?”
“A Dinghy,” Tanakami smiled as she wrapped her fingers around her glass and took a sip of the cold water. She was proud of it and was dead serious. They looked at her like she was a nut case.-
-
-Tanakami sat still as she read the menu, looking literally for the cheapest thing so she didn’t waste all the money she’d taken from the ship. She felt a hand on her shoulder and she looked up to see one of the marines with his wife or something was there. She offered a smile and said, “May I help you?”
“Yeah,” The marine said and then his eyes looked to the empty seats at the table she was placed and continued, “You have an interesting appearance. Close to that of the bounty description of the shadow pirate captain. You must be careful.”
Tanakami tried so hard not to laugh and just smiled, unsettling them with her sharp teeth. She said, “Oh I am rather careful. Wouldn’t want to be hung wrongfully.”
The Marine and his wife settled then asked, “May we sit with you? We’ll even pay, just so we can talk a little. It’s dreadfully boring to talk to the ones that look so stuck up.”
Tanakami waved her hand and said, “Sure, I don’t mind a little company. As for the paying part, you really don’t have to.”
“But I insist!” He said as his wife and himself sat down. He tucked his napkin properly on his lap and his wife did the same. Tanakami just looked at them like they were strange. “Take it you don’t know etiquette?”
“Nah,” Tanakami stated bluntly as she tried to peek at what they did over the table. “I came from a simple fishing village. Ain’t much etiquette there but some strange things happen.”
“Really?” the marine spoke as his wife went over and helped Tanakami with her napkin. “Do tell~!”
“Thank you,” Tanakami whispered to the wife before she sat back down. “Well, I saw this bar fight and well, I thought it was a bar fight. Until I saw two marines. This really weird looking person just stood outside and when the marines came to get her and the two vanished. Then a third one was drug out and just mauled to death by a dog that appeared of no where!”
The marine looked at her and said, “What did they look like?”
“Like my father,” She spoke bluntly and continued, “Same hair as me, same everything but a bone chilling laugh. If it wasn’t for that, I would have thought we were lost siblings or something.”
The marine cocked his head to the side curiously and asked, “Who was your father?”
“I don’t think you’d know him,” Tanakami spoke and averted her eyes back to the menu.
“Don’t make me beg, I am dying of curiosity!” The marine spoke to her and was even on the edge of his seat and leaning over the table.
Tanakami looked up and with a smirk she spoke, watching the marine and his wife sit back a bit as it sunk in, “Gekko Moria…” She giggled a little bit and they sat, not knowing what to do.-
