Mephiston

Mephiston, is a player character in One-Piece; The Aftermath. He is a Bounty Hunter who was alligined with Tack during the events of the Jubnah Saga; which would lead him to slowly to decend into a deeper and deeper bloodlust; which cost him all his friends, allies, and eventually led to his defeat at the hands of his Tonattian employer, then arrest at the hands of the marines. He currently resides in the 4th Level of Impel Down in his own cell; having originally been imprisoned in level 1 and 2 prior to his lust of the Blood God motivating to claim the skulls of prisoners, before he was subdued by the Head Warden and moved.

He is also the user of the Flag-Flag Fruit, having eaten the devil fruit after being given it by Tack; when the tonatta recruited him, alongside Argolta and Iron Pirahna into the BBHA.

## Abillites/Powers/Equipment

As a mercenary, Mephiston is very experienced in the art of fighting and the conquests of war. A harrowing name recognized across the Crimson Archipelgio as a member of the Miltia that brought the nation under the leadership of the Emperor Ceasar. He was one of the core strengths of the Miltia however his pursue for the blood led him to leave it and follow the path of the battlefield to claim more lives.

His merciless strength has proven rather formidable, managing to defeat opponents he should very well have the disadvantage against due to their devil fruit powers, even overcoming a special paramecia and slay a berserk demon-blood infused Wren with little to no difficulty. His love for the battefield and the unrelenting bloodlust that grew stronger and stronger with each battle made him numb to pain, only feeling half of what a regular attack would even be able to do to him. His instinct in the state of combat were heightened; he was able to sense danger as a premonition and in turn being able to evade dangerous blasts and even strike his foe before they had chance to retaliate.

As he devolved deeper and deeper into the state he currently resides; his bloodlust awoken an inner strength within him. Each hew of his axes carved further, infused with his killing intent. Able to pierce through any defense with a single cleaving, crushing or savage sprinting strike; however as time went on his attacks slowly became more and more reckless to quench his thirst for the crimson liquid that gushed from his enemies.

### Devil Fruit

Shortly after meeting Tack; Mephistion was given a devil fruit as an upfront payment for his services, granting the Red Corsier the powers of the Hira Hira no Mi (Flag-Flag Fruit) a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to make their body and any object they touch become flat and flexible, letting solid objects ripple, billow, and flutter like a piece of cloth or a flag. He used the abillity sparingly, often prefering to rely on his own skills than the crutch of a devil fruit that didn't really fit his style.
