Vynai Venus

Vynai Venus is an erratic individual. She has a rather "good" moral compass, and would be seen my many as a force of chaotic good in the world. She aims to dethrone corruption, behead injustice, and break the shackles that hold the people of the world in place. So why is she a pirate? One might ask. This is because she has a deep love for, or perhaps rather a shallow love of, treasure.

Anything made of gold she will cherish and protect as if a dragon protecting their horde. She collects anything made of gold passionately, and excessively. Even gold-less treasure sways her heart, and in fact any treasure made of any metal whatsoever will most likely catch her eye. Because of this exquisite interaction with treasure, she is incredibly perceptive to the value of it, and will never walk away from a table with an unfavorable deal.

This love of treasure trumps her moral compass often, unless it's weighed against something she extremely disagrees with.

Her personality does change when she enters one of her Expanded forms, which can be easily noted by when her hair changes color.

Venus is one of the 3 members of the Celestial Pirates that can enter Expansion at will, though she can currently only access the first tier of Expansion from her fruit

## Appearance

Venus is a beautiful person (physically) who is proud of her figure and actively shows it off. She loves jewelry, and is often adorned with all manner of it, her personal favorites being those of gold and platinum. If one were to look into her eyes, they appear an orange color with hints of gold, and swirl ever so subtly like a storm cloud. She has long, dark brown hair that occasionally seems to have a velvet tint, and often streaks of gold line her hair as well.

When Venus enters her Expanded forms, her hair turns a golden blonde color.

## Personality

Venus isn't all too friendly nor is she unfriendly. She often interacts with strangers in a neutral tone, that tone changing based on how the interaction goes. If one gets on her good side, she becomes a very generous and friendly person, often actively trying to spend time with or seeking to strengthen bonds with said person. If one gets on her bad side, she becomes quite hostile in any and all encounters, often either sending looks of scorn or blatantly trying to ignore said person. One way to make her like you more is to gift any manner of shiny things, be in gold, treasure, etc. One way to make her hate you is to rob her of the aforementioned, be it directly or indirectly.

When she is in her 'golden' form, her personality becomes much more righteous, though righteous in a sense of self-righteousness. This means that whatever feelings and emotions were present within Venus prior to using her fruit, those same feelings and emotions will simply be personified, and hyperbolized when she enters her Expanded form. If she was happy, she'll become manic, and if she was angry, she'll become furious, and so on.

## Relationships

**Vynai Caducea -** Venus is Caducea's older sister, and the two, while their personalities are very, very different from each other's, get along very well. They do a lot of things together, and Venus is one of the few people that Caducea is actually genuinely nice to, rather than the bullying instinct she has towards most others.

**Jakko Esperanq -** Venus is incredibly friendly with Esperanq for two reasons. The first is that she genuinely enjoys his company, and finds him to be a funny and entertaining individual to be around, always doing things that seem fun-inducing, or at the very least, interesting. They are often paired together on missions, as Esperanq is able to withstand the hot clouds made by Venus with surprising ease, perhaps because he maintains within him clouds of an opposite nature, allowing for easy teamwork and collaboration on the field.

The second reason is that Esperanq gambles often, and often wins as well. As a lover of all things treasure, she makes sure to stake out by him when he's on his winning streaks, in hopes that the wealth will be shared. Esperanq usually doesn't share his winnings, instead gambling with them until he leaves with nothing, though ever so often he does spare a few coins and trinkets for Venus, earning her everlasting continuation of this practice.

**Saturn Rezka -** Venus can sometimes be found with Rezka working on her Stormbow, trying to find little improvements and fixes to it to make it better. She sometimes watches as he works on his other projects in awe, as many of the things he can create out of almost nothing, and in such short time, are things she could only dream of doing. She also goes on resource collection missions for him on occasion, sometimes being rewarded with jewelry, which ensures that her help is always offered whenever Rezka is in need of things.

**Orcus Celine** - Because of her tendency to go on resource collection trips for Rezka, Venus often finds herself with the company of Celine, who also is often tasked with these missions, which she undergoes as a sort of payment for her being allowed to stay on the Celestial Pirates' ship. The two have grown close, and are very friendly with each other. They rarely argue, though one time Venus accidentally cut Celine in half, causing some distress in their relationship.

**Sol Oriana** - Venus does not get along all too well with Oriana, but it's less for the reason of personality clashes, and more for the reason that Venus is completely useless in a fight against Oriana. When the two clash, Oriana often simply just washes over Venus' attacks with hydrogen, dispersing their strength entirely, something that seems to piss Venus off every time, as she goes to pout whenever it happens.

## Abilities & Powers

**Appraise Me:**

Because of Venus' adoration and love of jewelry and precious materials, she has subsequently developed a very good eye regarding the quality of such. She easily discerns between real and fake trinkets of 'value,' and can accurately weigh objects and gauge their compositions, for example what % of a coin is gold and how much is nickel, etc. She has also been able to diversify this ability, applying it to all manner of things outside of the realm of precious metals and jewelry, most notable her being a rather accurate judge of character.

**Is it just me?:**

Venus has an unnatural talent for getting what she wants. This is partially due to her naturally high charisma, exceptionally high regarding persuasion and deception, but she seems to simply carry around an aura that encourages those around her to accommodate for her needs, though how this is interpreted often depends on the individual. Venus receives, almost randomly, a bounty of gifts (and praise) from all manner of people, sometimes mailed to her, but sometimes simply on the street as well. If Venus asks for something, there is an unnerving likelihood for her request to be complied with, especially if it has to do with material gain of some sort, and more particularly relevant to money and gold. This has led to Venus becoming a bit spoiled, though she is mature enough to not let it get to her head too often. Sometimes, however, after receiving showers of either gifts or praise she has a tendency to become more arrogant and self-important.

**Or is it hot in here?:**

Venus is not easily affected by changes in temperature, often remarking about how hot it is during freezing weather, or how cold it is during hot and humid weather, often to the dismay of whoever her current companions may be, who are often suffering from said weather conditions. Venus easily maintains her internal temperature within a large range, and her choice of clothing sometimes comically contrasts from the scenario. Her favorite type of weather is humid weather, where the air is thick and the moisture is thicker, possibly because of her devil fruit. Regardless, her gauge of temperature is abysmal nonetheless

### Physical Prowess

Venus is a marksman who favors the bow, and typically prioritizes mobility and speed as to maintain her distance from her opponents rather than rushing head-first into danger. She has developed good agility and spatial awareness, making full use of the terrain around her when she fights if finding it necessary to do so, and while she can hold her own in a close combat melee for some period of time, she is noticeably nowhere near as proficient in hand-to-hand combat as she is in ranged combat.

**Speed and Agility:** While not the fastest of the Celestial Pirates, Venus finds herself the most resourceful of them regarding her agility. She is a master of Geosurge, and has developed a technique that lets her bounce off of and cushion herself in the air as well, and she makes full use of her surroundings if ever necessary. While she tries to keep her distance due to the nature of her role, in the event of an enemy entering melee range she finds herself a very elusive target, and is very good at running away, peppering her foe with a flurry of arrows as she swiftly and gracefully retreats.

**Strength:** Venus has a relatively powerful strike, however it is generally bursts of damage that are her strong point in a melee, focusing on rapid attacks rather than a single overwhelming blow. Most of her strength goes into her archery, where she has a very powerful draw and can launch projectiles over great distances. While not entirely the same, she also finds herself able to throw things over nearly-equal distances as well, and this latter ability often catches people off-guard as she launches her allies past enemy lines and straight into the foyer.

**Endurance:** Venus' durability is very limited. She has put most of her defensive capabilities towards not being hit in the first place, so if she ever is hit she lacks a strong defense. She can use armament haki, though it is lacking in development compared to many of her crewmates. That said, she won't be felled in a single hit, though multiple strong blows will likely bring Venus tumbling down.

### Fighting Style

Venus is a master practitioner of Tendō, and has fully learned the Comet Style, Meteor Style, and Celestine Form. She is proficient in both the Bosai Core and the Seraan Core, often applying their teachings to archery, which is her preferred mode of combat. She has additionally merged the staple technique **Po Doomchagga** with that of archery, somehow applying the technique to her arrows. Venus has additionally been able to boast a unique, and more powerful version of **Winds of Heaven**, integrating the power of her fruit into it's already notable strength simply as a standard technique.

Within the Bosai Core, Venus has developed the following techniques:

* **Boda Quill:** The user uses **Graviton Fist** on a projectile to be launched, then firing said projectile. Upon impact, the weight of the projectile will swap values with that of the target, often causing the target to be blasted back for a few moments before their weight re-allocates within their body

Within the Seraan Core, Venus has developed the following techniques:

* **Sei Whisper:** The user alters the relation between their movements and the sounds their movements create, causing a delay between the motion and the auditory indication of the motion made. This is used to disorient opponents, often used in a scenario of a pursuit, where the user aims to trick the pursuer with the shift of auditory cues in their retreat.
* **Sei Kiss:** The user kisses in a direction, and blows out air. They then touch an object and swap it's weight with that of the air blown, making the air "heavy." While this does not affect the location of the air, the air blown will act as if it was a weighted object if treaded into, and upon impact the weight will re-allocate to the respective owners of the weight values. This is often used to create invisible barriers in the air, though they are single-use and mainly aim to slow down a pursuer in a chase.
* **Sei Pillow:** The user, while midair, places a small amount of weight into the air, making it into a cushion and either slowing or halting the user. It will only last on impact, however this technique can be repeatedly used to maintain a slow descent, or simply to cushion long jumps and difficult acrobatic maneuvers.

Within the Putao Core, Venus has developed the following technique:

* **Po Taro:** The user uses **Skip** whilst using **Po Doomchagga** on a projectile (usually an arrow or bullet), then firing said projectile and releasing the Skip as it makes impact with it's target, manifesting the effects of the latter technique upon impact. The release of Skip can additionally be timed to cause the 'miss' effect of **Po Doomchagga** while the projectile soars in the air near a target, which can easily catch off-guard a target from the thunder released.

Venus can additionally manifest the following CF/1 technique with the aid of her devil fruit:

* **Scorched Heaven:** Venus uses **Winds of Heaven**, and combines it with her devil fruit technique, causing the winds to become superheated and with the aspects of the storms of the planet Venus. This can alternatively be used to expand and further propel the storms that Venus is already manifesting. Either will result in a deadly superheated and corrosive storm, spewing with volatility and disregard for the safety of any caught within it's grasp

**V**enus is able to manifest both armament and observation haki, however her observation haki is substantially more developed than her armament haki. While she is able to effectively coat parts of her body, as well as held items, with armament haki as a means of offense and defense, it is rather weak compared to the other members of her crew. Her observation haki, however, rivals that of Saturn Rezka, and she has extremely perceptive eyesight and motion-tracking abilities, making her an even deadlier sniper than she would be without utilizing this ability.

## Equipment

Venus is a master archer, and carries multiple bows on her at all times. She additionally wields a quiver of Returning Arrows, which was made for her by Saturn Rezka, which additionally utilize rocket-propulsion to increase their pierce capability and acceleration in flight.

The bows Venus wields are:

A Swift Bow, which is the bow she most often uses in tandem with her quiver of Returning Arrows due to it's nature of draining ammo quickly. This is a perfect synergy, as all missed shots will return to the quiver, while hit shots will attempt to as well. (They can be stopped from returning, though they will actively try until out of fuel. The quiver itself recharges their batteries, however they drain quickly when away from it.)

A Trueflight Action Bow, which, upon knocking of the arrow, attached a passive infrared homing device to the tip of the arrow, allowing to to act as a homing arrow. This can obviously be dispersed by the same manner one normally would be. This cannot be used with Returning Arrows, as that lays the potential of misfires bringing harm to the archer.

A Stormbow, which Venus crafted herself with the help of Saturn Rezka. It is the bow she uses with her modified **Po Doomchagga** technique, and she further often lines it with fragments of wind as well either by **Winds of Heaven** or by the power of her devil fruit. This bow transforms into a beautiful golden bow upon Venus' devil fruit activation, but otherwise is a pitch-white color with a streak of red lining the top vertical of the bow.
