Hometown: Shells town
Physical Description: Saul Moriah is very tall and skinny, despite his broad shoulders and thick neck. He has a ver intimidating precense that can be quite frightening to weaker people.

Picture:
Personality Saul Moriah is a very intimidating and quiet fellow, one who prefers to stand back and stay quiet during discussions. It is for this reason that he happily allowed his best friend Rogan to take the position of captain while he simply acts as first mate. He hardly ever has anything to say, and even in the heat of battle will remain quiet and stoic, refusing to show emotion to his opponents. His actions usually just follow along with his captain's wishes, and the only time he will go out of his way to do something is when he can gain profit for his collection. Around his captain, he becomes more friendly and will speak to Rogan in a normal manner. However, this is almost exclusive to his captain, and most other people will only ever know Saul as a quiet and intimidating man.
Likes:
Money - Saul's original love was wealth, and he sails the seas in search of more money. During his childhood, he worked many jobs and did everything he could to earn more and more for himself. His parents, lazy people, often dipped into their son's funds, as he was making much more money then they were. When Saul found out, his trust for his parents was eternally shattered, and he took his money and ran away. Saul does not spend much of his earnings, but seems to be merely amassing beli for the sake of having it. He claims when he has reached one billion beli, he will have accomplished his goal and be able to enter the next step of his "plan", which nobody save for his captain knows of.
Nakama - Saul has an immense respect for his Captain, the Crimson Captain Rogan (who he affectionately calls "Captain Rogan") and would lay his life on the line for him. He serves Rogan selflessly, always at his right hand. While Rogan is the captain, Saul often is seen as the more powerful of the duo. Whether or not this is true is unknown.
Fighting (and Killing) - Saul became bathed in bloodshed after he ran away from home. He was taught Haki by his grandfather before he left, and was able to use this talent to protect himself from a young age. However, "protecting himself" soon became entering bar fights and betting massive stacks of money on himself, only to destroy the competition and earn even more money. All of his fights ended with the death of his opponent, and he eventually earned his first bounty of 1,000,000 Beli. When he gained his devil fruit abilities, he trained himself into the ground until he was ready to use them for more fighting. His killer instinct, because of this love of death, is enough that his weaker opponents often find themselves frozen in fear as he approaches them.
Dislikes:
Marines - Saul hated both of his parents after he found they were stealing from him. Both of his parents had worked for the marines, and his hatred soon extended to the government army. Saul takes an extreme joy in obliterating entire armies of them, and claims he has defeated a buster call single-handedly.
Shichibukai - Saul sees all the Shichibukai as sellouts; pirates who sold their souls to the people who Saul sees as the true evil in the world. He aims to kill every single Shichibukai and destroy the group, preventing it from ever resurfacing.
History
Young Life (0-8) - Evil Parents, Cool Grandpa, learned Busoshoku Haki
Saul hated his parents, both of whom were selfish people who would steal the money he had earned for their own use. Both his parents worked in the marines, and the discontempt he had for his parents transfered over into the marines.
However, his grandfather was of a different cloth. The old man had been a pirate of old, and a formidable user of Busoshoku Haki to the point he could cover a bamboo stick with it and use it as a powerful weapon. His grandfather showed him at a young age how to use the magical force, and found that Saul's talent for it was similar to his own. He loved Saul more than his parents ever did, and maintains a good relationship with his grandfather after he ran away at 8 years old.
Adolescence (9-16) - Met Rogan, ate devil fruit, got into bar fights and amassed wealth
It was during his youth that he ate a fruit sold to him by an odd vendor. The fruit, a pinapple of sorts, was covered in swirls. The shopkeper had believed it was infected, and sold it for 10 beli to the young boy. Saul found out not long after that the fruit was far from infected, but something much more incredible. The Pika Pika no Mi had been consumed by a young man, new to the world itself.
He took to his powers immediately, devoting himself to extensive training. It was not long before he had gained the second level of his abilites, which was about the same time he met a young aspiring pirate; Ninta D. Rogan. He and Rogan became friends after they scuffled, agreeing to sneak onto a ship and ride to the grand line with a captain.
Their grand line adventure took them to see many places, where they both grew in their abilities and wisdom. Saul, who had thought he was incredibly strong, saw men with abilities that crushed his own. He suffered many defeats by many opponents, and soon realized he was not nearly as strong as he needed to be. They returned, much more grown up, and began making money for their own ship. It was at this time that Saul became a bar fighter, which he did for a year and a half, until they finally could purchase a ship in Loguetown.
Current Life (16-19) - Perfected devil fruit, started piracy
Once they had their own ship, Saul spent three years perfecting his devil fruit ability in order to properly survive in the Grand Line and the new world. His skills with Busoshoku Haki and the Pika Pika no Mi were outstanding, and he finally gave himself the approval to become a true pirate.
Extra Information
Extra Clothing: Saul has a long, white overcoat with a mustard-coloured inside that he wears when travelling the ocean. On the back, in bright yellow kanji, is the proverb 弱肉強食 (Lit: The weak are meat; the strong eat). He usually takes this coat off and leaves it on the boat while he is on an island, but has been known to sometimes wear it if he does not believe he will be fighting. He claims it gets in the way of his combat, but he does not like taking it off and leaving it on the ground, which is why he leaves it on the ship.
[edit]
Extra Weapons: Saul is able to create a blade of light, but carries no other weapons on his person. He prefers simply using his fists, feet and unmatched speed to crush his opponents.
Relationships: Captain Rogan - Best friend
Special Skills
Name: Pika Pika no Mi
Description: A logia devil fruit that allows the user to control, generate and become light.
Devil Fruit: Logia
Devil Fruit Control: Total mastery
Name: Busoshoku Haki
Description: The armament Haki, which allows the user to transform their will into a physical force, used for both offense and defense.

It can be combined with his speed of light kicks, but it cannot be used on his lasers.
Rp Sample:
Saul cracked his neck and knuckles, stepping into the ring. His muscles were tense as he eyed his opponent who was hopping between two feet in front of him. "Let's go ya sissy bastard!" the man hollared out angrily, putting his fists in front of his face and letting out a feral growl. Saul's eyes hid behind his sunglasses, which he had refused to remove for the fight, despite Rogan's protests. He remained stoic, his mouth locked in an unimpressed frown. His fists remained at his side, and Saul planned to rely on his speed to block the strikes that would come from his enemy. The bell hung on the wall of the bar, and the bartender watched the two stare each other down. Saul was the same height as the other man, even though he was much younger. His mustachio'd opponent was pushing 38 years old, while Saul was only about 16. The difference between their fighting experience was significant, and the 1,000,000 beli bounty they both had made this one of the most anticipated fights of the year. Saul versus Kod, the crowd that had amassed cheered on one of the two men, depending on who they had bet on. The bartender, who was also the referee of this fight, allowed the tension to build before he called out to the crowd with a bellowing voice, "Ladies and gentlemen! This is the big one, the fight we've all been waiting for! On the right, coming in at six feet five inches tall, weighing one-hundred eighty-nine pounds, the fearsome flash, the boy who shocked us all! It's... Saul Moriah!"
More then half the crowd exploded into cheers of excitement, whooping and clapping, whistling and screaming for Saul to obliterate his opponent. They slowly slipped into silence as the bartender spoke again. "On the left, his opponent. Standing at six feet four inches, weighing in at an impressive two-hundred fifty pounds. Our local favorite, the town drunk who we all know and love! It's... Kod 'The King' Keys!"
The rest of the crowd, those who hadn't cheered for Saul, also exploded into supportive cheers. The odds were in Kod's favor, and these locals were not interested in loosing money because of some kid. The silence returned, and everyone waited as the two fighters stared silently at each other. Saul's stoic attitude seemed to have affected his opponent, as the anger he had been verbally expressing earlier was now only plastered silently on his face.
The whole world seemed to wait silently, eager to see these two men fight like animals.
DING!
The brass bell rung out and for the third time the silence was crushed under the yelling and cheering of all the patrons in the bar. The fighters leapt into action, with the first punch being thrown by Kod towards Saul's face. He swerved to the right to dodge and hurled a punch to the man's kidney. It hit, and the first strike had been made. Kod reeled backwards gasping from the force behind the punch. The cheers grew louder as the two men faced off again, Kod's fists back in front of his face. He sweat, but Saul had to wonder if it was from the effort or the sheer rage in the eyes of his opponent. Saul did not raise his fists or dance like his enemy, but merely paced slowly as he waited for his opponents move.
The boxer suddenly rushed forth, throwing a flurry of eight punches at Saul's face. His hands moved like lightning threw the air, and Saul found he had to move extremely quickly to avoid catching a fist in the mouth. He successfully blocked the first four strikes, cocking his head to the left as the fifth punch flew forward. He caught the sixth, and attempted to throw another punch to the man's chest at a blinding speed, but ended up reciving the final punch across the side of his face. He reeled back, spitting out the blood that amassed in his mouth. The bell rang, signaling the end of the round, a Kod shot him the grin of a maniac as the crowd yelled and hollared continuously.
Saul, deciding that he had underestimated his opponent, put up his fists. The two waited for the bell to ring out again, and Saul focused on his opponent. His fists turned black as he coated them with Busoshoku Haki, something his grandpa had taught him many years ago. Kod, apparently noticing this, laughed and cracked his knuckles. As he did, a similar black gloss covered his hands, and he brought them back up to his face. Saul's mouth clenched, and he suddenly began to sweat slightly. He knew now that even when he used his Pika Pika, he would still be hit by this man's fists.
DING!
The game began again, the two rushing forth to exchange a flurry of blows. The fight became a game of who could hit first. Saul's strikes were fast, but Kod's defense was impressive to say the least. The young fighter's fists almost bounced of the haki-covered arms of the big man, and he couldn't seem to do a single thing. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a fist clocked him clean in the jaw, knocking him back into the crowd who eagerly pushed him back into the ring. He stumbled, rubbing the blood from his mouth. Kod smiled again, visciously, and charged like a bull. Saul moved to the defensive, easily moving out of the way of every punch he threw from that point on. He couldn't strike, but using his speed he was able to almost dance around the boxer. He saw an opening, and rocketed in, his fist transforming into particles of light. The Haki covering his hands made the punch that much more damaging as it smashed into the right side of Kod's torso. His ribs cracked, and he grimanced. Another yellow flash crushed his left cheekbone, and the champion of the bar fell to the ground. Saul stood over him, panting. The blood dripped from his mouth, but he remained over the man who he'd beaten. Kod wheezed, unable to speak as he tried to stop the blood coming from his mouth.
DING!
The round ended, and the fight was finished. The spectators exploded, yelling and screaming for Saul. His victory made him break character and smile. He pointed a finger down at Kod's face, and Kod looked at Saul with an immense fear in his eyes.
"W-what.. What are you?!" he asked, the terror shaking his voice.
Saul's grin faded away, and he replied "I'm the last thing you'll ever see." as the light built up around his fingertip. There was a bright flash, and the man lay dead with a hole in his skull. Smoke rose from Saul's fingertip as he put away his "gun" and stepped out of the ring, greeted by a dead silence. The crowed stared at him as he passed through the men and women, on his way back to Rogan who he met at the door of the bar.
"Common." he said. "Let's get outta this dump."
