Scuttler

## Stats

Scuttler, an Otter Mink (often confused as a Ferret Mink), is a former Capo from the Black-Hand Mafia that betrayed his former allegences in return for becoming an ally with G-7 during the Kenzan Saga. He has since retired from his life in the underground, taking up the mantle of bodyguard for the childern of the Graveldon Monarchy.

## Appearance

Scuttler is a 4’4ft Otter Mink, with dark, purple-ish fur that has a Glass left eye. He often wears a mafia esc suit of a darker shade of purple to his fur and a floral pattern on its colar (*he has ten of the suit jacket which he got on sale*). He is often seen smoking a cigerrete.

## Personality

He has a rather straight-forward hardman that takes no crap from no-one. He is confident in his abillites and is even willing to stake his life on the line to prove such a claim, evident when he asked James to hit him as hard as he could and declared that If he could kill him in one shot, the mink's men would tell em what they wanted. Despite his harderned nature; he has shown to be very willing to negoiate and resolve things without bloodshed, as seen when he gave G-7 several chances to surrender before resorting to fighting against them. He doesn't seem to regard the lives of the soliders below him as very important, as he was unphased when ten were killed by James' light beam that the otter had side-stepped or when eight marines were a casuality of his necrotic wyvern's breath.

He speaks often in a thick western british accent with traces of austriallan mixxed in with slang. He often has to correct people's mistakes, although sometimes he stops half-way through, opting to play along with their mistake, such as when Jam refered to him as a dragon instead of a Wvyern, with him stopping mid-way correction and doubling down declaring he was, infact a dragon.

He has a soft spot for brats and kids; dropping his hardman persona if needed in order to approach them and help them if needed. He often drops this persona when watching over Oeirve in the Graveldon Palace, Stonehelm. He does this so she doesn't get scared from his fearsome and intimidating presence, often letting the girl ride on his back as he flies around in his hybrid form.

## **Abilities / Powers / Equipment**

### Overview

Being the strongest capo, and ranking below the Underbosses *(Six Pillars)*, Scuttler is exceptionally strong in his own right. He has skill in hand-to-hand combat, combined with the benefits of being a mink *(being able to produce electro and potentially access a sulong transfomation)*. He is also capable of flight using his devil fruit, allowing him to swiftly move from postion to postion with little obstruction.

### **Devil Fruit**

Scuttler, for his services in the Black Hand Mafia, was rewarded with a devil fruit at some point to increase his strength. This devil fruit was the **Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Wyvern,** a mythical zoan type devil fruit that allows the user to transform into a full wvyern or a hybrid form at will. Due to Scuttler's smoking, the flaming breath of the wyvern has become poluted by tabaco and tar, its scales during purpleish black, making it breath necrotic fire as opposed to regular flame whilst also granting him immunity to the effects of necrotics.

Whilst transformed, Scuttler gains a dragonic like appearance, with his claws becoming sharper talons, his teeth becoming razor like fangs and gaining a tail and wings that he can use to grapple and fly with respectively. Also, whilst transformed, his body is far more capable of resisting the effects of devil fruits and creations used to impede him *(Legendary Resistence)*

### Equipment

Scuttler's Mafia jacket is specially tailored and created by Jacket World Industries, woven and made with quallity cotton and enforced thread that grants him protection from regular attacks. (*Giving him an Armour Class of 18).* He also carries around a rather posh cigar, that when lit, he uses to burn the skin of the enemy, seering their skin and leaving a cigar burn in its place. However, he does not use this often, as it is a waste of perfectly good expensive cigar.

### Frightful Presence

Being a Mafia Capo with the powers of a LITERAL dragonic creature, many fear Scuttler; something which he uses to his advantage as he attempts to intimidate and frighten his opponents into surrendering. He used this against G-7 during their fight on Kenzan, managing to instill fear into Hamza, James and Jam, with only Silas and Sunoikah resisting his attempt to frighten them and standing their ground.

## Relationships

### Sunoikah

Scuttler joined the mafia roughly at the same time as Sunoikah, with the two being often paired on job together.
