Basic Information
Name: Shanks
Age: 28
True Age: 469
Sex: Male
Personality: Shanks is probably most known for his love of alcohol. His favourite is rum, he could easy chug 10 mugs of it without getting the least bit drunk, he has even been known chug barrels full of rum. He doesn't just like rum however, he is also a fan of sake, beer, coolers, whiskey, champagne, and wine, pretty much any alcoholic drink you can think of and he is usually seen with a large gourd on his sash that is filled with rum, or at least, usually rum anyway. When drunk he becomes more playful and fun loving, getting into dancing and singing all the time, and of course, more drinking. He has never thrown up from drinking at all, he can hold his alcohol incredibly well, passing out before puking, and doesn't suffer hangovers at all.
Shanks is also quite the flirt, often hitting on women, offering to buy them drinks and acting rather charming with them. He doesn't come off to strong and is sure to be a complete gentleman with them, although, he isn't afraid to be a little crazy either, as that's just who he is.
Shanks doesn't mind being embarrassed at all, if he trips on the ground or something he will just laugh it off admitting it was real stupid. Another factor of his is that he can endure quite a lot of insults without harming anyone, if say someone was to pour water over his head just to prove a point that they were tougher, once the person leaves he would just laugh, he is often considered unmanly because of this but he will just respond saying it isn't worth the fight at all, doing pranks and insults shouldn't lead to violence is what he lives by.
Shanks was always fascinated with pirates and back in the golden age was a pirate himself, a fairly well known one. He went by Red-Haired Shanks, due to his trademark red hair. It was probably his favourite age to live in and had loads of fun stealing and messing with people. He was never really discovered at all and there were no records of him though, so no one could really find anything out about him. Either way he loved the feeling of being free and sailing on a boat with a crew of friends working under him as captain.
Shanks isn't one to pass up a party. He loves meeting new people, sings, dances, drinks, anything to get a good party going. He will often sing pirate songs due to his love of the golden age of piracy, although no one usually knows what he's singing, he's still a great singer and it always gets the party started. He will dance sometimes when the beat kicks up and tends to have a drink on him at all times while he does, as I said above, he gets a little crazier when he's drunk.
Shanks is incredibly pure when it comes to his friends. People could kick the seat from under him, smash his stuff, and insult him, but if any of his friends are ever harmed, he will avenge them in a heartbeat, going all out on the ones that did the harming. He always loves making new friends and trusts them easily, having a strong sense of character he can usually tell when he can get along with someone. Back in the age of piracy his entire crew consisted of friends instead of workers, he would rather have a fun adventure then a cruel one after all. He is also willing to die for his friends if need be, and would be more then happy to sacrifice himself to make sure his friends were unharmed. He also wants to avoid fighting his friends at all costs, nothing would hurt him more then seeing himself come face to face in a fight with one of his friends, he would sooner run away which is not something he would usually do.
Shanks isn't the type to run away from fights, and will never run when it involves protecting his friends. To him, running away is very cowardly and should only be used as a last resort, he would have no regrets if he died, he loves his life with a burning passion which really shines through with his character. He is incredibly happy all the time, the only time he isn't is when his friends are in danger.
Shanks is also incredibly reckless, doing things that only an insane person would do. He can usually find a way out of any situation no matter how bad it may seem simply because he's willing to do things that are absolutely crazy and dangerous. He often says that if he wasn't crazy none of his methods would ever work, talking about how he's crazy enough to try it and is lucky enough to pull it off.

Character Appearance
Height: 5'11
Weight: 220lbs
Physical Traits: 
Shanks has tanned skin with a bit of a beard and moustache which is a dark brown colour. His hair is his trademark being a bright red, as a pirate he was known as Red-Haired Shanks. He has 3 red scars over his left eye. His body appears to be fairly fit, him being pretty strong himself most of his body weight comes from his muscles.
Clothing:Shanks wears pinkish/brown pants with a floral pattern on them which are trousers that are cut below the knee and collected halfway up the shin. He wears brown sandals on his feet. He wears a wrinkly white shirt that is buttoned up only half way leaving his chest exposed. He wears a red sash around his waist which he uses to hold his sabre sword in it's sheath. Shanks often wears a long black cape over his shoulders that goes down to about knee length with a big collar at the top, although it doesn't appear to be buttoned up.
Accessories: 
Shanks has a large sabre sword which has no powers and is used for when he doesn't need his doll for a fight. The Sabre appears to have a green hilt that slowly fades to purple at the top, the bottom of the hilt and the hilt guard are gold plated with a golden rapier going from the hilt guard to the bottom of the green gripper. He keeps his sabre in his red sash that is round his waist and the sheath appears to be blue in color.
Fighting Style
General Fighting Style: Shanks will only fight as a last resort unless there are innocent or friends involved or being attacked. He will also respond to being attacked. He is generally a straight forward fighter, using his blade and hand to hand combat in a combo, he uses his strength and speed and often rushes out recklessly like the crazy guy he is. He always does his best in fights unless he is sure that nothing bad would happen if he didn't. He mostly uses his sword in combat although he will often let out a kick among other things.
Strengths: Shanks has incredible strength, being capable of throwing cannonballs even farther and faster then a cannon would. His body is well fit, his legs being the most fit as they are capable of having him jump great heights up to 70 feet into the air.
Speed is another large part of Shanks, like how he can jump great heights, the strength in his legs allows him to run incredible speeds. He was once seen running so fast he ran a 200 meter dash in 4 seconds. He can keep up with people using shunpo, but of course, shunpo is faster then he runs.
Shanks can use his sword incredibly well, being capable of infusing his strength into it and being able to cut just about anything (excluding things as tough as zanpakuto or tougher as that would just be too OP)
Weaknesses: Intelligence, Recklessness
While Shanks is incredible with strength, speed, and sword skills, his intelligence isn't the highest. He is fairly smart in terms of battle, being able to figure out weaknesses of opponents, but when it comes to battle tactics or just all around common sense, he lacks incredibly, he can't even contemplate that if you dig a hole next to another hole, you may unintentionally fill the other hole. In terms of battle tactics a lot of his methods come out as ridiculous or nutty.
Shanks is incredibly reckless, doing things so ridiculous that they are just plain dangerous and crazy. He will often do things completely over dramatic just to make himself look awesome, although he isn't arrogant, he still likes to make a scene as it's more fun to him. He has no limits to what he's willing to try, which could easily be his downfall, a simple mistake of his might end up killing him.
Doll
Sealed Appearance 
The doll in it's sealed state takes the form of a straw hat yellow in colour with a red ribbon around it. There isn't anything much special about it besides that though.
Call Out Command Live Your Life
Released Appearance
Upon activating, the hat will grow hair from underneath which will eventually push out a head with a smiling face on it. A body will then grow from it being approximately 5'8 in height and weighs around 170lbs. The body is slightly tanned with big eyes and a scar under the left eye, similar to Shanks. He wears a long sleeved shirt with open ends that stop around just before the wrists. He wears blue short pants with fluffy ends around his knee level and a yellow sash around his waist. He has a large red scar in the shape of an X on his chest. He also wears brown sandals on his feet. His skin is also incredibly smooth in appearance as it is made of rubber. Luffy is also rather strong, much like shanks, he could chuck a cannonball faster then if it were shot out of a cannon and also compares his punches to big pistol shots.
The Doll goes by the name Luffy and has an interesting personality. A lot like Shanks in a way, he will fight with everything he's got unless he is sure he doesn't need to. He also has a habit of eating food, lots of food, enough that would make a stomach burst for sure but because his is made of rubber wouldn't harm him in the slightest. He is incredibly confident and dreams big, loving to sing pirate songs and dance, he is just all around playful and a party lover.
Abilities Rubber Body:
The doll's body, everything from his skin to his bones is completely rubber, his organs included, this allows him to stretch his body out to a maximum of 200 meters from where he is. His body can also sustain incredible amounts of blunt damage, meaning fists, kicks, or clubs, anything that is meant to bash him, he will be completely immune to it. This is because of his rubber body being capable of stretching, including his bones and muscle tissues, thus when he's hit, his body would just alter to a stage where it absorbs the blow, and simply return to normal afterwards. He could be crushed by a large boulder that's easily 50 times his size and weight and be completely fine, provided there weren't any real sharp edges. His body stretches so far that it is even capable of absorbing the blows of bullets, giving the appearance of spikes coming out of his back when they hit his body, he simply lifts his body and returns his body to normal, thus sending the bullets flying back where they came from. His body isn't immune to sharp edges however, mostly because you can still cut rubber, so any sharp edges or stabs would penetrate his body like any other persons body. He can also suck in large amounts of air to increase the size of his body, making it a balloon shape and being capable of launching back larger objects such as boulders or cannonballs.
Heat Up:
To use this ability, Luffy must spend a post pumping the blood in his legs and/or arms, this starts to increase the rate of blood that is pumped through his body, he can do this because of his rubber body being so stretchy and thus acting as a pump inside of him. His body begins to generate smoke from the incredible heat produced from the massive blood movement, his body also becomes more pinkish as it heats up. By next post he is capable of moving incredibly fast, he will also disappear and reappear short distances away from where he was due to moving so fast, this would be an equivalent in speed to shunpo, but not only that, his stretching speed and running speed become 3x what they were before. He can use this ability for a total of 4 posts before his body becomes too tired and deactivates, and has a cooldown of 4 posts afterwards to let his body catch up with itself.
Back Drop
Background: Back when he was a child he grew up in a fairly average home. His mother had died when giving birth to him so he never truly met his mother though he heard a lot from his father who was high in power in the governments army. He was destined to be the next big crime fighter, although, Shanks never had much interest in it, in fact he had interest in becoming a criminal, saying that it was much more free with no rules at all, which was what he disliked about his family. He was constantly smacked by his father who pressured him into becoming a law enforcement, he of course always disliked the idea of becoming one with the government as he heard stories of what they were doing to the poor people. His father always told him the government was the only right thing to be, and that if he chose anything else he'd be caught in a lot of trouble.
Shanks was constantly trained by his father, harsh conditions such as being thrown into a forest to fend for himself, this made him strong even as a child, he went on many adventures and made friends with some animals, but had to fight off the larger ones daily, he knew his father wanted him to be the next big crime fighter, so he tried his best to please him, although he didn't have much interest in it. Eventually he was escorted out of the forest by his father who found him all beat up, but alive, he was taken back to his home town to live his life further.
Shanks eventually came across a straw hat, it was on his bed, no one knew how it got there, but he decided to put it on. To his shock a boy appeared in his head, the boys name was Luffy and he looked somewhat similar to Shanks. He started talking about becoming a pirate, of course Shanks didn't know much about it, due to his father constantly heckling him to become a law enforcement. The hat told him stories of what pirates do and the freedom they have along with the constant excitement. He was also told that Luffy was a doll, a being that helps bounto's out, Shanks was confused, Luffy told him all about being a bounto, and that Shanks was indeed a powerful one at that, Shanks was excited. As time went on Luffy continued to tell him about what bounto's could do and sure enough, Shanks was able to do all those things, he didn't much enjoy the act of absorbing souls, he tried it once, it made him feel odd, and he made up his mind only to do it to those he found deserving of it. He had constant struggles with himself, should he be good or bad? He would soon find out.
At a young age Shanks was wondering the streets before looking over to the side of a building where he saw a woman running away from a law enforcement, he figured she must of been a criminal so for a moment he figured, perhaps becoming one wouldn't be so bad, a criminal is always taken out right? He wondered over to see how they operate, but to his horror, upon looking down the ally he watched as the law enforcement began doing incredibly dastardly things, the girl was screaming and kicking. Shanks put his hands on his head as he watched, he no longer had any thoughts of becoming a law enforcement, he relaxed and watched as he walked down the ally, pulling his knife out of his pocket, the man turned to see the kid and laughed at him, telling him to play somewhere else, as Shanks looked up, the determination in his eyes scared the man and he attacked, Shanks easily dodged due to the constant training of his father which made him incredibly quick and strong, he swing his blade upwards and cut the man's arm, the man screeched in pain and used his sword to slash at the kid, cutting his eye slight, leaving a mark, he held Shanks down, the woman running away, the man got angry that he allowed her to do that, and decided to give the kid 2 more scars on the same eye, however, the father of Shanks appeared behind the man, he turned his head and to his horror saw one of the most famous crime fighters of all time.
The man was beaten to near death, and thrown into the prison, Shanks was given quite the reward for taking him down, his father was rather proud of him for standing up for what's right, but Shanks had already made up his mind, stood up to his father, and told him that if the law enforcement can get away with that stuff so easily, why should he become one? At least criminals take pride and admit they are criminals, these so called justice fighters are nothing but, but act like they are good. His father was angry, but regardless of anything he would support his child's decision, this day in age it wasn't really a shock for someone to become a criminal, all he hoped was that his son would come back, but Shanks quickly ran away one day.
Shanks began his life as a pirate, stealing a well sized boat and rowing away from his island to go on adventures freely. As time went on, he found crew mates, and only recruited people whom he had absolute trust with and were his friends. He treated them all with respect and this time was easily his favourite time in his life. It was the golden age of piracy. He kept his straw hat safe, being capable of releasing the boy years ago, he practised with him constantly to get stronger and stronger and both of them were eventually known throughout the world.
As the age of piracy ended however, his records were all burnt, he lived his life absorbing a soul once in a while to make sure he can continue living. In time he witnessed the birth of many fads and technologies, it was amazing to him and he always enjoyed watching the growth of the world. He friends died but he always remembered them and always stood up for what he thought was right, in the end he was sort of like a law enforcement, but with much more freedom. His doll is released from time to time daily so that they can talk about their life together, and they always enjoy it even if it's the same story over and over, they just laugh and have great times, due to the dolls appearance he could usually walk around with Shanks and seem normal.
