Send me a ★ for a journal entry about you
Bartolomeo, 24. October 6th.
Displays a very pronounced case of macrodontia on both maxillary canines that keeps him from completely closing his mouth, giving them the aspect of fangs. The prolonged exposure to air certainly affects his gums on a regular basis, most likely leaving them hypersensitive.
Impossibly tall. Lean and muscular. Several scars along his back, two of which are significantly bigger than the rest in the shape of an X, and healed boxer’s fractures in many of his fingers, all indications of taking part in several fights and brawls. There are also friction calluses on his fingertips, similar to those found in a guitar player or any string instrument. (Rubs his thumbs along his fingerpads when particularly nervous).
Large tattoo across his chest of a thick ring with an opening on the top, wings spreading from both ends and long fangs jutting from the bottom. Under his right eye there are two lines tattooed in the same dark shade that curve towards his ear, which along with the ring on his nasal septum gives him a very dangerous look. (Carries his knife in a very peculiar location.)
Has a defying and provocative personality, going out of his way to mock and challenge people, which makes his sense of honor quite interesting. Despite witnessing how scary he can be, towards myself he’s been nothing but courteous in his own foul-mouthed way and very fun company.
Huge fan of the Straw Hat Pirates. Holds anyone and anything related to them in utmost regard, to the point where his attitude towards them becomes quite jarring when compared to his usual rough behavior.
Devil Fruit: Bari Bari no Mi
Allows the user to produce barriers at will (by crossing his fingers). Those can be completely transparent or made to look like glass panes.
They appear to be immovable by any outside force, but whether they are unbreakable remains to be seen. There might be a correlation as to how much strength the user himself has left in order to keep them up, as it doesn't seem to be a matter of concentration but rather a binary system of whether the barriers are in play or not.
Not only a defensive measure, they can also be used offensively by projecting them forward or even deflecting any attacks back at his opponents.
Another useful aspect is the fact that solid constructs can be made with the barriers, such as stairs.
The barriers are not soundproof, and might be susceptible to powerful sound waves or vibrations.
They seem to posses a passive-active nature, in which they remain in place even if the user is not actively watching them.
A notable limitation of the ability is the fact that there is a maximum total surface area that any of the barriers can cover at one time, as well as a maximum number of them.
Given the fact that this devil fruit doesn't affect people other than the user on a level beyond physical contact, it might not be useful to corroborate my thesis, however, any data acquired from the bloodwork will be useful for the bank and a basis for comparison between the different types of devil fruits.
