PERSONALITY

■ James is an extremely simple lad, nothing complex there particularly. He's protective of those he calls his friends to the point violence if they get hurt. He's loyal to those who have given him a reason to be, and will happily defend them both with words and with his fists if he feels their honour has been impeached. He's not exactly the smartest tool in the shed, but he's far from being a complete idiot. Whilst he's not particularly knowledgeable in terms of book smarts, he shows his rather focused branch of intelligence when it comes to hitting things and the best way to go about not being hit by others. Also, Xerxes is his best friend. If you touch him, he will end you. Fact.

ABILITIES

▌ NAME: Hammerblow
▌ MAJORS: power + haste
▌ MINORS: - - -
▌ DESCRIPTION: Using all his considerable strength, James waits for a chance and then unleashes a blow that can shatter all but the most powerful of defenses. With all his power concentrated upon whatever spot he connects with, if he connects with a limb, he is capable of breaking bone and denting steel. Admittedly, steel will leave him with somewhat of a sore wrist to say the least. [Useable three times a thread - If it doesn't connect, then it doesn't count. Uses only stand if he actually hits something since the reason it has a limit is because of the strain it puts his wrist under when impacting.]
▌ BERRIES: None. Free tech.

▌ NAME: Speed Break
▌ MAJORS: Power + Haste
▌ MINORS: Endurance
▌ DESCRIPTION: Getting a good start from the line can make or break a sprinters race, and few have a better start than James Sands. Using the sheer power of his legs, he forces himself into a sprint with no wind up time. This means he reaches his top speed nigh-instantly and it allows him to almost disappear from the eyes of an opponent. Not quite of course, but the sudden and abrupt change in tempo can catch them off guard to the point where their eyes will struggle to keep up with him. [Can be used four times a thread]
▌ BERRIES: None - Free.

▌ NAME: full smash
▌ MAJORS: haste + power
▌ MINORS: - - -
▌ DESCRIPTION: Combining his own physical presence with the skills of his devil fruit, James Sands is capable of extremely powerful strikes in part thanks to this ability. By shifting the weight from his body to its lowest whilst moving to reach the maximum possible velocity for a strike, he shifts the weight back to his absolute maximum just before the moment of impact to ensure that the strike becomes as powerful as it can be thanks to the combination of power, speed and sheer strength behind the blow. Given his ability to alter the density as well, it grants him the ability to punch hard surfaces such as stone and metal without suffering too many ill effects, and in fact gives him the ability to break through them! [Can be used up to five times a thread, must be at least a one post cooldown between them]
▌ BERRIES: 100mil [level three]

▌ NAME: duck and cover!
▌ MAJORS: - - -
▌ MINORS: intelligence
▌ DESCRIPTION: Given James' rather intuitive grasp of combat, and his ability therein, he can sometimes manage to get the hell out of the way of a blow of an opponent if he has a chance to see it coming. By instantaneously removing as much weight from his legs, and pushing the weight of his chest up to the maximum, he has mastered the art of hitting the deck quickly before shifting his weight back to normal before his legs completely buckle from under him.

Essentially this allows him to drop down really quickly and hopefully avoid a strike aimed at his upper body if he can see it coming with enough time. [Can be used four times per thread due to the stress it puts his legs under.]
▌ BERRIES: 25mil [level one]

▌ NAME: return the favour
▌ MAJORS: haste
▌ MINORS: endurance + intelligence
▌ DESCRIPTION: James Sands is a fairly impressive fighter in his own right, and using his devil fruit he truly becomes a force to be reckoned with. Raising the weight of an arm to its fullest, he turns away at the moment of an impact against his body, and increases his fingertips to their maximum weight. This simple act allows him to turn on the spot using the weight of his fingers to make the movement as fast as possible whilst allowing him to lessen the damage of a blow due to him getting out of the way as much as possible, and then returning the blow fairly rapidly with the hand he used to spin around. Like a little ballerina. A ballerina with a fucking ten thousand kilogram hammer at the end of their arm. [No set limit for this ability due to the lack of stress it puts him under, however if he is unable to complete the spin then he can't do it.]
▌ BERRIES: 25mil [level one]

WEAPONS/ITEMS

■ Katars x 2 | Pretty much exactly as they look in that picture. If James is ever in a position where fighting simply with his hands and feet isn't advisable, he'll slip these on to compensate. Giving his hands some protection and naturally slipping into his fighting style as it is, they don't hamper him in any way at all. The blade is ten inches long and made of fairly solid metal so they can take a beating, and with an edge sharpened to all hell, they can dish out a nasty series of cuts and stabs as well.

▌ NAME: kilo kilo no mi - level two
▌ MAJORS: - - -
▌ MINORS: - - -
▌ DESCRIPTION:
The kilo kilo no mi allows its user to actively control the weight of their own body from anywhere between one and ten thousand kilograms. At this middle ground of mastery, James Sands is able to shift his weight from low to high twice in a short amount of time, and can actively effect up to two limbs with different weights at the same moment. [Can shift between weights a maximum of twice per post.] At this level, the user is completely unchanged in terms of density and as such can still be blown away by anyone with strength sufficient enough to move his maximum weight.
▌ BERRIES: 100mil b

▌ NAME: kilo kilo no mi - level three
▌ MAJORS: - - -
▌ MINORS: - - -
▌ DESCRIPTION: The maximum level of mastery of ones abilities, at level three the kilo kilo no mi becomes a force to be reckoned with. At this stage, James has completely mastered the gifts of his fruit and is able to activate the technique in either his full body or simply any limb of his choice at any time. He can also shift between weights rapidly and with very little time between, the shifts become almost instantaneous at this point. Another boon of being so in control over his powers is that at this level, he can actively use the fruits ability over weight to completely alter his own body density to better withstand his opponents attacks. As such, if he is weighing his maximum weight of 10,000kg and takes a physical strike, he would take less damage from it than he normally would. Of course, the opposite could also be said. If he is weighing 1kg, then he will take an extreme amount of damage from strikes. It's a double edged sword and one that must be carefully watched to be used to its full effectiveness. [Can shift three times per post, alter density to match weight and adjust to damage accordingly]
