Komainu Xanadu/Abilities and Powers

## Overview

Xanadu is an artificially created being, belonging to the Sketch species, a species created by Komainu Easel as a way of "preserving" himself throughout history, along with having his creations help him during his decaying health stages, where Xanadu represents the **Head of Easel**. As a fighter within the Blooming Pirates, Xanadu prefers a fighting style that revolves around long-ranged tactics, especially when it comes to outwitting their opponents.

His primary form of combat is a unique style created by them, being referred to as **Easel** by Xanadu, an homage to their "father". With Easel, Xanadu uses their own body as a form of artillery, such as shooting paint from their fingers like a gunshot, or creating other ranged weapons such as bows, sometimes erroneously being considered the Sniper of the crew.

Aside from their combat prowess, Xanadu has shown to holding a large amount of intellect, despite their age, properly being able to hold the position of Strategist within the crew. Their plans generally have a high success rate when they're fully enacted, but sometimes fall flat during extreme situations with too many outliers in the mix. As the series progresses, however, Xanadu has improved in his capabilities of strategic planning.

## Physical Capabilities

Being a Sketch, Xanadu's body, at a basic level, is made out of paint. This body type allows for Xanadu to stretch his body parts, along with rearranging them as they see fit, to a limited extent. Xanadu has shown that the paint can be secreted, almost similar to a Logia's ability, often causing for people to mistake them for a Logia Devil Fruit user. Attacks do tend to go through Xanadu, but it's more eliminating the paint, rather than Xanadu simply being immune to attacks. This results in Xanadu having to apply more paint to their body as a form of "medication" to eliminate their "injuries".

The make-up of Xanadu's body allows for them to not feel any sort of pain, but their body can be a bit frail to certain attacks, such as sword slashes. Xanadu has shown that they can reattach lost limbs, but the process leaves them slightly vulnerable, as the paint their body is made out of isn't too cohesive in nature. After the timeskip, Xanadu gained a type of cohesive resin to the make-up of the body, allowing for them to stretch further, along with having a higher amount of "regenerative" capabilities.

While Xanadu isn't able to truly become stronger like most species, due to being made out of paint, and as such cannot get physically stronger or otherwise, they can add onto their own body, or use specific tactics that would allow for them to achieve an upperhand within combat. Enemies that Xanadu has faced have claimed that Xanadu's more potent attacks feel more like a "torrent of water", due to the accumulation of paint being sent out at them.

Xanadu has also shown to have great visionary prowess, being able to see far distances, compared to the average being, allowing for them to keep track of the enemy easier, along with many other pluses that come along with this ability.

Prior to the timeskip, Xanadu was very weak to liquids, mostly when it came to water, causing for them to be at a disadvantage against species that rely on liquid-based techniques, such as the Fishmen. This weakness seems to stem from the Ita Ita no Mi, the Devil Fruit used to create them. After the timeskip, Xanadu has incorporated a waterproof type of paint into their body, thus increasing their resistance to liquid-type effects, and instead becoming a beneficial type of effect, rather than a harmful one.

## Easel

Xanadu's primary fighting style revolves around the usage of Easel. By usage of their paint body, Xanadu expels and manipulates the paint that originates from themselves, achieving various effects, generally by the different types of paint used.

By painting with a finger, Xanadu has shown that they can bring about life in their art, an ability that is possibly stemmed from the Ita Ita no Mi. The art that's brought to life shares a sort of linkage with Xanadu, where, so long as it's alive, it is treated as part of Xanadu. However, if the creation is destroyed, such as being severed with no hope of regaining its senses, it is effectively dead, and the paint used to create it can no longer be considered part of Xanadu, leaving them unable to bring the paint back into their own body telekinetically, forcing Xanadu to come into contact with the paint and absorbing it via that method.

With its own body being its canvas, Xanadu has shown the ability to be seen as a mobile amalgamation of weapons. Because Xanadu can telekinetically control the paint that is part of them, Xanadu can overwhelm their opponents simply by creating several types of weapons and firing at them, such as blades. With their enhanced vision, Xanadu can use Easel in further distances, allowing for them to launch surprise attacks upon their enemy by strategically hiding their creations around the area.

What is perhaps the most interesting part of Easel is the varying effects the different types of paint have. By usage of the color, along with the symbols Xanadu can place onto objects, Xanadu has expressed a wide array of abilities at their disposal. Xanadu has stated, along with displayed, that mixing and matching paint colors allow for their effects to mix with each other, sometimes creating new effects entirely. These effects are temporary, as the removal of the paint from the object can nullify the effects placed on them.

* **Red Paint** seems to have an affinity for strength-augmenting effects.

* **Yellow Paint** seems to apply weight onto objects it's applied to.
* **Green Paint** seems to decrease weight onto objects it's applied to.
