Bai & Xuan

Bai & Xuan are the captains of the Riftwalkers, a pirate group active in the New World that is known as one of the current four Yonko pirate crews.

Bai & Xuan lead the crew as equals, though Bai tends to do most of the talking as Xuan takes on a more playful approach, and not taking her role all too seriously. This arrangement works however, as Bai is more than willing to take the role of authority while Xuan goofs off on their ship. The two are quite literally inseparable, as if an unbreakable anchor was placed upon each of them, the chain meeting in the middle to show it the same. They can stray physically within a certain distance from each other, though their essence is always bound, and if one strays, they will find themselves able to effortlessly and immediately re-appear by their counterpart.

While only a select few are aware of this, Bai & Xuan are not separate individuals, but rather two personas created by a single soul as it's core, them straying as fully opposite beings around this core, with their abilities and personal physiologies straying from each other in this manner as well. Bai is symbolically clad in white. He wears a hat and is generally well-dressed, and well-mannered. He is a gentleman, a charismatic leader, and someone with the ability to think rationally in accordance with his emotions. Xuan is symbolically clad in black. She has no headwear, though her hair itself flows long and chaotically through the air around her where she hovers. She is brash and unrefined in her demeanor, often getting straight to the point and quick to act on her emotions before thinking things through.

Interestingly, the two share the exact same Haki capabilities, holding within their grasp all five forms of haki, however they specialize in different sectors. They both share the same capability of Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku haki, which itself is with grand proficiency, their Busoshoku Haki able to smash through even the shields of the "Darkwall" Bastian with ease, and their Kenbunshoku Haki is at a level where they can match against even a silenced bullet ringing without sound from the barrel of Exodus Krall, a man renowned as one of the best snipers in the world. Bai & Xuan have Haoshoku Haki, though it is currently unconfirmed to what extent this goes, neither having provided example of Haoshoku Infusion or other high-level techniques within the form. Where their technique strays is withing Jihishoku and Hirushoku, where Bai is a master of Jihishoku Haki yet lags behind in, though still able to utilize, Hirushoku Haki, whereas Xuan is a master of Hirushoku Haki, yet maintains minimal output of Jihishoku Haki, not having shown knowledge in any of it's techniques aside from the foundational ones.

## Appearance

Bai takes on the appearance of a pure, refined, and intelligent gentleman. He wears a white suit that seems to never dirty, and always has a look of confidence spread across his face. His hair is tidy as are his clothes, and his stride is orderly and with intent, as if he know where he wants to be, and that he's going there pronto. He wears the Saijō Ō Wazamono blade **Rengoku** at his side, and additionally carries a single revolver strapped to his left leg that he almost never uses, yet quickdraws with incredible speed and fire afterwards when he does, making it noteworthy within his arsenal. He fights efficiently and with logic in mind, actively thinking about his opponent's moves and those he should take as well, and is a very honorable fighter considering his occupation as a pirate, and quite a notorious one at that.

Xuan takes on the appearance of an untidy, lazy, and crude girl. She wears loose clothes, often changing her fashion style, though notably always sticking to dark colors. Her hair is long and messy, draping down her entire body, and she doesn't wear shoes, instead wearing a pair of leggings as her only "footwear." She almost always can be found wearing a black scarf with a reddish-pink ribbon attached to her neck. The color of crimson red finds itself hinting subtly in parts of her hair, alongside much other of her apparel. One of her most noticeable characteristics is that she almost never walks, rather floating in the air to move around, which appears to her to be an effortless maneuver. She does not carry any visible weapons, however she has been known to wield her hands as sharp and unbreakable claws, her teeth razor-like fangs that can puncture even Busoshoku-protected skin. The finale of her form is not in her modest alterations such as these, but rather her ability to transform into a massive black dragon-like serpent, her size rivalling even the True Dragons of Drakko, though her form appears incomplete from that of a True Dragon, almost as if something was cut short when nearing completion of the transformation. When in this form, Xuan's skin becomes extremely tough, hard scales lining her body, and her claws and teeth become larger and sharper than they ever could when she was in her normal form. The final pour in this form is her ability to charge up and blast forth a mass of dark green and black energy that is extremely destructive in nature, in appearance resembling a crude mixture of lightning, plaz, and nether, though it appears not to be any of these things exclusively, nor do the actual properties of these energies appear within her attack, only the raw energy itself causing damage.
