Warren Albright

**Warren Albright** (ウォーレンアルブライト - U~ōren'aruburaito) was the Captain of the New Dawn Crew and a former marine of the navy. Having a marksmans eyes and a medical background to boot, Warren saw a promising future in the navy, until a bullet caught him in the side and flung him into the ocean. None of that was in Warren's plans for his life but neither was forming the New Dawn Crew with his new strange friends. Warren sought to find a new path into the future while protecting the friends he had made. All the while trying to determine the true meaning of justice that he once thought was so clear. Tragically, Warren's journey was brought to an end at the hands of Marine Captain Zata whilst docked in Tranquilo Reef.

## Appearance

A consequence of his upbringing and career left Warren as a bit of a clean freak, he usually kept himself very tidy and even after a battle would seek a means to remove blood from his clothing. Despite his polite and clean appearance the weapons Warren carried on his person and the way he walked almost in a perfect rythmic march would be enough to tell others that he could handle himself in a fight.

Warren was a tall, lanky and fair skinned man with Grey eyes and soft brown hair. He usually wore his trench coat with a vest and button up shirt underneath paired with slacks and marine issued boots. Hidden inside of the trench coat would be Warren's holsters for his pistol and flintlock. He also kept spare ammo and a medic pack strapped to the leather belt around his waist.

## Personality

Warren's personality could be very serious at times as he would often think carefully about actions and consequences. A long career in the military was enough to teach him that caution is the better part of Valour. At times of peace Warren would let his hair down and show a more relaxed nature similar to a sailor on shore leave. He tried his best to be polite even when the courtesy isn't returned as that was how he was raised. Despite that Warren had a tendency to be overly assertive with others if he believed himself to be right.

After Warren's unfortunate expulsion from the military he had taken to having long stretches of reflective contemplation, a side of himself that he usually kept hidden from his fellow crewmates.

## Abilities and Powers

### Swordsmanship

Warren had basic sword skills taught in Marine boot camp.

### Marksmanship

Warren was a skilled marksman, a talent cultivated by a career serving the world government. At times he would wield dual light guns and at others his trusty musket. Even armed with a Canon, Warren would have had a good chance of hitting his target.

### Hand to Hand Combat

The former officer had basic hand to hand training from marine boot camp.

### Physical Strength

Warren was slightly above average in terms of human strength, though he was never really in the situation in which it would have been necessary to demonstrate this.

### Agility

Warren is very dexterous, he was able to ascend a tree in seconds and land with grace on top of a man from said tree as he did to the bandit leader on Rubeck. He was also able to silently kill a bandit from over 30ft away by throwing a dagger.

### Endurance

As a Marine, Warren had to put up with tough conditions and tiring days of work his endurance therefor is above average for a human. He previously survived days without food while captured by the Rubeck bandits.

Warren's ultimate test of endurance was his prolonged survival after the great wounds inflicted on him after he was gunned down by Marine soldiers at the order of Captain Zata.

### Weapons

Warren wielded firearms as his primary damage dealers but would also occasionally opt for a more stealthy approach with a thrown dagger. He also had a few creations to pull out if the situation were to be dire enough.

Jury's verdict (hail of thorns)

Blind scale (fog cloud/smoke bomb)

## Relationships

### Crew

**Enrayus Vaanan** **-** Enrayus was the vice captain of the new dawn crew, chosen for the position by Warren because of his strength and relative level headedness. Warren had met Enrayus on Rubeck island and quickly noted how different the man was from everyone else, not only for his devotion to the blade but also the wings on his back. Despite being from an island Warren once thought mythological, Enrayus had proven himself a fast friend and a loyal crew member that Warren was proud to have at his side. Warren made sure to help however he could to make Enrayus the strongest swordsman. Upon Warren's death, Enrayus, shed tears for the man he would forever know as his one true Captain.

**Connie Bonnie** **-** Connie saved Warren from bandit captivity on Rubeck and quickly formed a partnership with her that became friendship. Although she needs no protection in a fight Warren still felt a need to protect her innocence and childlike wonderment of the world, something he had lost long ago. Warren would still have freely admitted that he admired her navigational skills and seemingly random bouts of intelligence. She was a valued member of the original New Dawn Crew and Warren made sure to attempt to reunite her with the rest of her church in the hopes she grew to be a better person than he had ever been.

**Drate Pejerry** **-** Drate was another valued member of the crew in Warren's eyes, strong, reliable, very capable with a toolbox and a pile of scraps and oddly adorable for a fishman of his size. It is all these good qualities and more that made Warren feel even more guilty towards his friend. Having been schooled as most other children and trained in the marines gave Warren a certain bias perspective on fishmen. When he first met Drate on Rubeck Warren had been quietly wary of him, he was the first fishman he had ever encountered but he was so different from what he had heard. Upon realising that he's this was not the case, Warren felt awful of his initial suspicion of his shipwright and hoped to make amends one day. Warren helped Drate construct the crews ship and aided his friend in all future projects leading up to his death.

**Diego J Quint** **-** Quint was a special case to Warren, meeting him on Rubeck and then fighting alongside him gave Warren a similar feeling that he had for Connie. While Quint shows a great enthusiasm for most things and is a very intelligent young man Warren feels he lacks real world experience. He was a friend and comrade through and through but Warren still felt the need to keep an eye on Quint for both Quint's sake and the sake of others. His suggestions of the crew becoming pirates is one that Warren thought Quint didn't fully understand the implications of. Still Warren would have Quint at his back in any fight with those amazing creations of his, and wished to help this young man learn more about the world so he can handle it when the time comes.

**Ash**- Ash was an enigma to Warren at the moment, he could tell the young man had a good heart from what he'd seen but he kept said heart guarded from everyone. He left and came back, always seeming to want to be with everyone else but at the same time doesn't. Still, Warren saw him as a valuable ally and welcomed him to the crew when he decided to fully join it.

**Family**

### Allies/ Friends

**Quesa Shields**- Warren found a kindred spirit in Captain Shields, even after a less than stellar first meeting. Helping the crew with the murder mystery on Minion Warren learned that she has a bad opinion on the World Government and works as a marine to be a better representation of justice. Warren also learned that she cares deeply for her troops, willing to risk death to free them from a wrongful imprisonment. Having a similar past to Warren and having a long talk on the injustice of the world he shook hands with her and they vowed to come to the others aid if the need should ever arise. Warren turned his back on the WG and the marines but he would never turn his back on a friend like her.

**Vermillion** - Warren met Vermillion on Rubeck while recovering from his gunshot wound and quickly grew close to him. He proved a loyal ally when standing up to the bandit leader and he was somebody Warren would always call a friend and comrade.

**Glory Mamba**- Glory knows how to make a first impression, Warren could honestly say he'd never seen anyone be spit out of a sea monster and then use a violin of all things to help kill it. Being used to strangers with odd origins Warren had no trouble believing Glory's tale of Amazon lily, an island thought to be a myth to most sailors, and her story about being swallowed by a monster. Warren knew that Glory was a very capable fighter, having seen her split a boulder with a spear, but still as with anyone in the crew Warren would worry for her. Glory having never left her island before was very ignorant to the outside world, its inner workings and its dangers. Warren wanted to help her get home, and as with anyone in his crew he would fight with everything he had to see that happen.

## History

Warren Albright was born and raised on the island of Belle in the care of his mother Elizabeth within a small village on the coast of the island. Being raised on a peaceful island and being a bookish child to begin with Warren was a compasionate but wimpy kid. He was beyond grateful to his mother for all she did to raise him by herself and all the kindness she taught him to show others but what he wanted to know was how to be strong, not only for himself but for those who needed anothers' stregnth the most. He learned what stregnth was the day his hometown burned.

Pirates had attacked and they weren't simply there to plunder, they killed and burned houses with smiles on their faces and rapture in their eyes. No one in the small town could fight back nor did they try to, a peaceful town didn't raise fighters. All hope seemed lost until a marine ship appeared in the distance, against helpless civilans the pirates had an easy victory but against marined they stood no chance. Warren was amazed he had never seen such bravery and power. After the pirates were either dead or in chains Warren

## Character Design

Warrens appearance wasn't anything I thought too hard about, I wanted to make a man who looked unsure of his place in the world while still having a touch of what he used to be. For his personality I had a lot of inspiration, I wanted to make Warren a man with a strong sense of justice but no clear definition of it or how to go about enforcing it. The inspiration for that comes from Garrus of the mass effect series. Warren's studious nature and desire to see a better world come form the character of Alexander Hamilton from the Musical Hamilton. There a lot of other sources I looked upon for Warren's other traits but those are the main ones.
