Appearance:

Colton Ryker's Traditional Attire:

Seaman Recruit Appearance
Colton stands at a height of 6 feet and weighs a grand total of 10 stone. His skin has a dark tone to it and his face is narrow. With a series of long brown dreadlocks hanging from his head, they reach down his neck to his upper back. With a pointed narrow nose & thin lips Colton is considered to be a handsome man by many. He appears very skinny, but this is due to the main fact that he has next no fat upon him whatsoever. He wears his classic Marine Attire as a Seaman Recruit with pride. However when it comes to casual clothing he will often be found wearing black tightly laced boots, red skinny chins & a purple t-shirt which only extenuates his skinniness. Sometimes around his neck he will wear a necklace which will consist of a silver cross and a silver chain with a circular pendant that hangs on it.

Personality:

Colton's personality can be described in one word. He is a Bohemian. Colton enjoys relaxing and doing things his way, even if commanded not to do so. He is a loyal Marine who puts man's safety first. If there is no need for casualties he won't attempt to bring harm to others. Colton is the type of man who will only bring harm to people who need to be harmed. 

Taking an overall lazy approach to life Colton very much so approves of his devil fruit and considers it one of the best things he chose to do. It allows him to be just as lazy as he wishes and at the same time cause incredible trouble for his foes with such ease. Colton loves to lay back and watch things unfold before getting involved as he feels he is a quick fix solution and can get the job done quicker than most others could. He doesn't believe he is better than others, he just believes everyone has different skills and his are more useful for the job than those of the others. Always there to offer support to people hes more than happy to help people with problems. 

When he is bored and has nothing to do Colton enjoys playing his acoustic guitar, he feels that it allows him to break lose and dream. As he is a dreamer he tends to drift off from reality mentally allot, he tries to avoid doing it as much as he can when on a mission but sometimes it just strikes at the wrong time. 

Around women Colton plays it cool as a cucumber by acting like the guy whose not interested, mostly for the part because he isn't interested. Colton is asexual and doesn't actually care for relationships as he feels there are much greater & more important things to focus on in life. He likes to pull away from the pack and do his own thing which he succeeds in doing. Spending allot of his time alone, Colton likes the solitude and dislikes loud, obnoxious people especially those with a big ego. They just rub him up the wrong way and make him more likely to day dream just to escape. 

Using his Hai Hai no Mi powers, Colton happens to spend allot of his time drifting to high points in the world just so he has a nice quiet places to enjoy that only he has access to. It makes him feel special and unique.  Colton is a merciful Marine mainly due to his laziness, if there is no need for it, he won't do it. As he says 'Whats the point?'

Background

Born in the South Blue into a family of highly strung Marines, Colton was born with the hopes of being just like the rest of his family. Marines who would give 110% 100% of the time. Marines who wanted to truly cleanse the world of piracy & make it a beautiful safe place. Feeling obligated to live in his families footsteps Colton took up the tradition of becoming a Marine. He liked the idea of a beautiful safe world. However although his brain thought it was a great beautiful thing, his body didn't so much. 

Colton's desires spent allot of the time being just that as he just in a word, couldn't be bothered. Colton proved that he was a useful recruit in terms of strategy and getting the job done, but he never seemed to want to bring down anyone else who wasn't the main objective which albeit wasn't a huge problem, didn't help much either. Whilst other officers brought in big arrests he would only bring in the person he'd been sent to catch. 

During a patrol in the local town he walked into a shop currently being held up. After a yawn he asked the criminals to drop their weapons and was shot in the shoulder. Arriving at the academy he was patched up and disciplined for not, stopping the robbery, however was fortunate the next time he was on patrol as he ran into said criminals enjoying a day out in the town. 

Recognising their eyes & scars since masks covered the bottom half of their faces Colton quickly took them down with a series of kicks to biological weak points on human beings. Returning them all to the academy his superior wanted to release them as Colton's only proof it was these three who robbed the store was his memory, Colton asked if they could keep these three in prison for 2 weeks. His reasons were that robberies from these bandits happened at least twice a week and if there was none in two weeks it was these guys if there was one free them. 

Agreeing his superior waited and after one week & 4 days a bandit spilt everything, including their hideout of treasures. Pleased with Colton he was sent to catalogue the haul. Counting up all of the gold Colton knew he'd be there the entire day. Taking 5 minutes to nap, since he just couldn't be bothered to do it any more without a quick break, Colton allowed himself time to snooze. During his nap however he discovered a chest with a fruit inside and before he knew it he was chowing down on said fruit. The putrid taste awoke him. Spitting to get rid of the foul taste, Colton got back to his work. He didn't know anything about the fruit he'd just eaten or its horrid taste but figured it had gone off in the box. 

Once they'd brought all of the academy, Colton returned to training which was mandatory for everyone. During hand to hand combat he was most surprised when he threw forward his fist towards a fellow marine who stumbled backwards screaming in agony as burns begun to appear over his forearm and volcanic ash settled on the ground. His superior who had been watching and noticed this strange occurrence, removed Colton and asked him to touch a pair of sea stone hand cuffs. Upon doing so he asked him how he felt.

Colton replied.

"I feel weak." nodding the superior asked him to stay still and close his eyes. Complying the captain took the chance to throw a bucket of water over him and Colton hit the floor. It was clear he had a devil fruit. Colton's superior opened up the devil fruit user training facility and explained to him what a devil fruit user was and what he was. Along with the greatness he could reach with this at his arsenal. Understanding Colton decided to aim for the aforementioned goals from his superior. These goals were becoming an Admiral which intrigued him. With that rank he would surely stand a chance in achieving his family's dream. From this point on Colton realized he was no longer an ordinary marine, but a logia devil fruit using marine, but it didn't stop him being lazy, only encouraged it when he found out what he could do.  

Abilities:

• Basic Training
Whilst serving in the Marines Colton has taken quickly to learning the basics of being a marine. This is mostly the simple tasks such as loading, firing & repairing firearms. Sword training, unarmed combat and much much more.

• Eidetic Memory
Colton was born with an Eidetic memory which aids him in his line of work as he tends to remember everything. His memory allows him to remember specific things about people making them much weaker opponents against him as well as remembering structural weak points or even maps of places allowing him to travel easily in conjunction to his Hai Hai no Mi, this stops him from getting lost allot of the time and even failing in fights twice if he should fail once.

• Strategist
Being a man with allot of energy that goes unused Colton uses it on thinking. He is a great strategist as he can often quickly think up plans of how to get the most from an ambush and even the best ways to attack someone due to his Eidetic memory which allows him to remember an incredible amount. He uses his strategist's mind & eidetic memory in conjunction with each other to allow himself to complete jobs with ease precision. 

• Guitarist
When joining the Navy Colton found he needed something to give him a release from the days when he found the job too difficult or demanding. A way to escape the perils in the world and with his first pay check came the first chance to release himself fully in the form of an acoustic guitar.

Unarmed Combat


Weapon Based Combat:


Devil Fruit Based Combat:

• Serpent Spit I

• Serpent Spit II
Launching off a smaller but much more compacted ball of volcanic ash Colton sends out a blast much more similar to that from a sniper rifle. The projectile holds much greater range and although the projectile is much larger in size the further it has to travel the more this ball breaks down and the less damage it will deal be able to deal out, but the lasting effect of burning will remain.

• Serpent Spit III
Launching out a large ball of ash shaped like a cannon ball, Colton shoots out a cannon ball type projectile of scorching ash similar to a cannon ball.

• Serpent Uprising
Sending out ash to line the ground around him he quickly forms serpents which shoot up from the ground where the ash lines it towards his opponents to burn them all over. The serpent opens wide and swallows the opponent and as it shoots up the body spreads over them scorching them all over until the serpent reaches the end of & bursts apart falling back into the ash lining the ground.

• Serpent Shed

• Dragon Claws

• Dragon Whirlwind
Unleashing a horrendous amount of volcanic ash from his body Colton begins to spin it around his foes creating a large whirlwind made from volcanic ash.

• Dragon's Petrifaction
Using the power of of ash Colton creates unlimited ash and coats everything in volcanic ash. This will burn everything, suffocate all living things & obscure all of their sight. The ash will burn them from the inside out & vice versa as well as petrify everything. It will take 10 posts to petrify living creatures unless they are able to clean themselves of the ash inside & outside. If they are unable to do so the ash will burn inside & outside so badly that there will be no living being left, but merely a stone hollow of the being that had previously been there. Due to this being an incredibly dangerous technique, Colton rarely uses it as it takes allot out of him and there is rarely any real need for techniques such as these.

Creating a long thick compacted whip of volcanic ash, Colton uses this like a reptile's tongue attempting to grab his foes whilst also burning them in the act of having them caught in the whip.

• Reptilian Grasp
