Nick Teals

The teacher of Mavis Bismark. Mainly researched and studied electricity and cybernetics.

## **Appearance**

Nick Teals looks exactly like the famous inventor Nikola Tesla, but with a more steampunk and a large, mechanical left arm that generates arcs of electricity. He also has a more pronounced mustache that his real life counterpart.

## **Personality**

Nick Teals loves inventing and improving the lives of people, even to a fault. Ever since he was a kid he had always wanted to help his neighbors through the tough issues they went through. Back in his home village, he had automated all the farming. This unfortunately put his neighbors out of a job, but he quickly taught them how to repair the machines whenever they were damaged, so it all worked out in the end. Through his years of experimenting, he finds every moment as a teachable moment. He dislikes jokes about his amputation due to the experience being traumatic.

## **History**

### Past

Nick grew up in a farming village on an island at the beginning of the Grand Line. There he invented tons of ways to automate farming, making a system that was self sustaining, with a fraction of the crops harvested acting as the fuel for the electricity of the machines. Years later, a young girl by the name of Mavis Bismark came into his laboratory asking to be taught. Years later, Nick was kidnapped by Knight Mare and brought to Fool's Paradise to make better weapons for Red World's army. While being transported, and hearing chatter in his cage, he learned about the deception cast over the people of the island, unknowingly being trained to be part of Red World's crew. Nick vowed to end Red World's reign and began planning. He knew Mavis would come to help him. Sometime during waiting, he had tried to escape. At the same time, a young giant, Ruskman, had attacked the village, thinking they were crew members of Red World. Both he and Ruskman were defeated by Knight Mare. While being transported, they came up with a plan to defeat Red World.

## **Trivia**

* During planning, Nick Teals was originally going to be looking for Mavis, who got kidnapped. However that was changed to be the reverse because Joyful thought a revolution plot line would be cooler.
