History
Soarian was born on Majora Island, a summer island in the Grand Line with diverse terain, and only one town in it. He found his devil fruit at a young age and didn't know he had earned any powers until he put on a crudly made mask that he made one day. He then started making more masks and learned how to make anything that he could ever want. He then met Arilius and never seperated. Soarian then crafted his own sword "the Sciopero Alato" with the purpose to make a weapon and give a roost to Arilius.

Soarian left the island at the age of 15 to go traveling and sell his expertise to the world. It was then that he got to water 7 and learned how to become a shipwright. He stayed there for two years before leaving to become a pirate. He was influenced into becoming one after seeing so many pirates get their ship made there. Namely, seeing the Thousand Sunny sailing off. At 17, he made enough money to get gally la and himself to make the ship "the Libertà di forma" made out of adam's wood and equipped with enough space and extra comodities to become the pride of Soarian. The Galley la company had given an eternal prose to soarian as a parting gift.

After getting the ship built, he met Plume. He and plume had became close friends and sailed away on the ship. After a while, Plume asked Soarian to become an anthromorphic crow, and Plume never wanted to turn back.

After sailing on the grand line for a while, Soarian needed more crew members. After getting an eternal prose to jaya, Soarian found Sharon and Shango. Shango had asked about soarians's powers and had asked to turn into an alligator. After a quick bar fight with a well known pirate and his crew, Soarian, Plume, Sharon, and Shango all got their first bounty, Soarian had 46,000,000 belli, Plume with 36,000,000 belli, Sharon with 40,000,000 belli, and shango with 30,000,000 belli.

The masked pirates along with their new crew members. had used the water 7 eternal prose to go to water 7 and had a few bounty hunters to go after them, but were all switfly taken care of. It is there that they find Benigan. He was a bounty hunter after their heads, and posed as a great threat against the masked pirates. After being beaten by Soarian, he was then asked to join the crew. He said yes as they traveled the grand line and was more likely to come across new plants and animals to cure diseases.

After a while, Benigan asked soarian to turn into a fishman to gather up plants from the bottom of the ocean for his medical examinations. He got used to the form and never wanted to turn back into a human.

It is there that they bought an eternal prose to arabasta and sailed to the island. It is there that they met the blackout gang, a high ranking group of criminals in the kingdome who have threatend the princess numerous times. after they tried to rob the masked pirates ship, a fight broke out and they all defeated the blackout gang. After the world government found out about their achievment, they were then given their current bounties.

After vacationing in arabasta they then meet a person named Romulous. Romulous was the brother of Chaka, the vice captain of the royal gaurd. Romulous claimed he was a great fighter and was jealous of his brother for being able to turn into a jackle hybrid. Romulous begged to go with the Masked Pirates and for Soarian to turn him into a Jackle hybrid. Soarian had ran at full speed and put on his own jackle mask to romulous in mid-conversation. Romulous had teared up because one of his dreams have come true, and he is now the second swordsman in the crew.
