Roxy D. Jones

Introduction
"Guard Dog" Roxy D. Jones was a former guard of Level 6 Impel Down and was known by the nickname "Guard Dog" for her aggressive and ferocious nature but protective attitude towards her subordiantes and friends. She was also looked up too as a mother to her pre-dominatley male subordiantes. Appearing on the front lines of battles and situations regardless of the odds or caused situation. Having lost an eye to help an injured marine memeber. She is also on good terms with Garp as the both seem to enjoy drinking sake with each other.

Appearance
Roxy D. Jones is a ruff and gruff looking woman who has wild dirty gold to brown hair that is sprawled out on both sides and at the top of her head, has hair styled like two ears. She wears a large orange jumpsuit that covers her entire body but leaves her chest slightly exposed and black short heeled boots that reaches over her knees. She also wears a spiked black collar with a dog bone hanging from it. She also has minor features such as a slit pupil and a missing eye which is covered by her hair. Due to her former resident of being employed in the Marines and a high ranking official, she has a cape that is gilded with the seal of the World Government. However, due to her former status, she hardly wears it.

Due to the many battles she was in with both infamous and famous pirates, she is dressed in many scars. One noticable scar is the large burn mark that stops at her neck and covers her entire right half. It is unknown how she may have gotten it but it is rumored that she may have fought Ace or Akainu. It's not known if she won or lost but marines who worked under her stated how she and her opponent was near equal in strength but she was the first to collapse in exausation. Officially ending the battle.

Roxy is known for her beauty despite her gruff appearence. She was often looked upon by marine memebers and many times have been the object of affections. Gifts often being sent to Sengokus office by many males just for her. Though she has commented many times that she does not have anywhere the beauty of Boa Hancock or the Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi. Because of her looks, many are often surprised at how old she is. Being around her forties but having young looks. Unfortunatly, it is because of this beauty that she was wanted by a Celestial Dragon.

She also wears a muzzle due to her habit of biting people when angered.

Personality
Roxy is known for her protective and mother nature towards people who are close to her and those who are innocent. She doesn't hold grudges but on rare occassions do. Such as one towards the World Governement for selling her out to a world noble but also knowing of the dark light the organization holds. Being in ignorance to the truth. She is known for caring for lots of people. Regardless if they are criminals or not but does lose a degree of respect towards those who hold no since of moral doing. Not linking mass murderurs or keepers of wrong doing. She has also a deep respect on life. Not wanting to kill or viewing neccessary unless its under certain circumstances. A reason why she respects the Straw Hat captain so much as well as his crew.

Despite her morals, she has no problems starting fights or going against random opponents. Joining the Dressrosa ring in order to prove her strength and get stronger and keeping word on her family history secret due to being scared that it may drive pirates and marines alike to be afraid to fight her. Earning the name as "Stray Dog" or "Rogue Tyrant" due to her being known to cause trouble. Especially when it comes to attacking World Government affiliated people, ships or bases. Despite this, she believes that die hard criminals should be locked up and had no problems hunting down fearsome pirates and out laws her self (whille others were scared too) and dragging them to Impel Down. However, due to her former status, she doesn't partake in it in doing so will end up in her capture.

Weapons
Roxy has a use of experience with a range of weapons due to her time in both military and guarding the most dangerous level of Impel Down. Most specifically with guns and has a bit of experience with swords but her main weapon is the manipulation of heavy iron or steel chains. Added to the due fact of her mythical zoan being a hellhound. She is a master in it's art and is able to subdue opponenets quickly by swinging and lashing them out. She is also able to defend against swords with precision and accuracy making fighting against her with them troubling. Though she is able to block off bullets with them as well, they still prove trouble to dodge and in so doing prefer to use Armament Haki aganist opponents who use it instead.

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">A master in Armament Haki, she is able to imbue the power into her chains in order to increase its effiecency with damage and it's destructive power.

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Summary

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">(Note: This is entitled to change)

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">The Inu Inu no Mi: Model: Cerberus is able to transform her into an eldritch abomination of three heads on a single dog body. It ups her defense greatly and normal weapons are hard to use against her tough and thicken skin. However, her large body makes it difficult to move swiftly as a whole and her speed is greatly lowered. Making close-range attacks a must. Despite her majority slowness, she has outstanding reflexes. Her heads are each able to deliver a powerful and swift blow in the blink of an eye if opponents are not careful. Her powerful jaws are capable of crushing through concrete and her speed when running is able to catch close to any opponent though she comes as a very slow start before the speed is built up. Potentially losing any fleeing suspect.

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Despite her overall slow speed but quicken reflexes, defense plays a large part of her battle structure. Allowing Armament Haki to harden her body with her already thicken hide and skin. Making typical swords close to useless.

History
<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Roxy was born to a woman (name still in working) in South Blue and an unknown pirate. There she was raised single handly by her mother while her father setted forth to become a famous pirate. During her time being with her mother, she lived a normal and steady life. With gifts in the form of animal plushies being sent to her on a constant baisis from her father and a letter eventually coming stating how he was now in the New World. She also recieved a black cat from him who she later named Biscuit. One day while outside with her mother at the markets, a group of people where grouped together in her small town. Curious, she went to see what was going on and noticed the admirals visiting the area despite in truth they were only putting on a good show for the World Government. Amazed by the stature and built of the admirals and marine offcials and their sense of justice and right-doing, she aimed to become the best marine.

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Eventually, a short time after, she was sent a secret package from her father stating that it contained a devil fruit and that if she eats of it she will be "hated by the sea". Having some knowledge of the already notorious fruits, she later eats it hoping that she will be able to gain an upper hand when she is able to join into the marines. Couple years later, at the age of fifteen, she leaves and goes to train in the marine base. She does poorly in the newbie test to decide where her rank will start and is given the lowest rank within the marines, Chore Boy. Word of her being the daughter of a pirate also gets out and combined with her being a known D., Akainu wishes to dispose of her as well as some of the higher ranked officials. However, Sengoku and Garp manages to gain approval of the Gorosei's word that she can stay stating how its unfair for the Shichibukai to be given a free past, especially since they hardly follow what the Marines say and are given protection but Roxy is not. garp alson using himself as a point on how he himself is a D. and that she should also serve because of it.

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Unwavered in her position and some of the opposition she is given due to the male dominated Marines, Roxy puts forth her best and slowly but steadily rises within the ranks. Even earning the title and rank of Instructor to teach future justice and law abiding marines and working under as a subordinate of Monkey D. Garp. She also comes to control and master parts of her devil fruit. Shocking some of the marines when she reveals that she is a user. Seeing it as an extra footing to gain the upper-hand, the admirals and vice admirals begin to see her as a viable asset and tool. Having rose in ranks, she becomes a personal bounty hunter of the marines. Going out and hunting down infamous pirates and criminals and dragging them back to Impel Down. She is later employed to Impel Down after the legendary Shiki manages to escape from his shackles. The goverment wanting a heighten sense of security with his escape and more upkeeping. With many of the other marines refusing to take the job and Impel Down staff being deemed too weak or outright refusing. Roxy takes the offer and is placed in total control over level six of Impel Down.

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Sengoku is worried for her being and complains to each other how she will be able to keep in line the most dangerous of criminals and pirates. Garp reassures him that she is a "strong woman" who has a very strong and tenacious spirit. Giving chase to anything that dare interfares with her sense of justice. Roxy, being employed and in charge of the entire Impel Down lower level, continues to train. Using her preferred weapon of chains on inmates trying to escape or have escaped. Whipping them into submission and locking them back up. She eventually earned the name "Guard Dog" by prisoners due to her love of penut butter dog biscuits, her dog like appearence and personlity and her willful following of World Government orders.

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Throughout her time, she strikes fear into the entire base of Impel Down. Keeping intruders out and criminals in. Earning her a well earned reputation of going up and containing some of the most aggressive and dangerous criminals. All while doing it alone. Because of this, the government views her as their main weight reliever of not worrying about escaped prisoners. Using her as the main weapon shall any escape in the first place. She is later sent a personal requests by Sengoku himself to join the admirals to which she denies. Saying how she is comfortable with her current job and stating who will watch over them shall she leaves.

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Roxy, being known for her beauty and strength as one of the woman of the World Government is gawked and fan over by male subordiantes. With Sengoku complaining how gifts for her is always sent to his office. Word later reaches one of the Celetial Dragon ears when a couple of marines who are to be guarding over them are whispering about the newest female member of Impel Down and how their disspointed that a woman managed to gain an upper hand over them in becoming an elite official. Curious, the Celestial goes back to Mariejois with the two men and states that if they give her the woman they will be promoted to whatever rank they wish. Taking the opportunity, the two leads the celestial Dragon down into level six where they introduce the giant known as Roxy who greets them.

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">The Celestial Dragon immediatley orders the men with him to seize him who happened to be her former subordiantes while she was working as a WG pirate hunter. The other guards of Impel Down also seize her with sea-stone chains and later knocks her out with an aesthtic as she was acting out aggressively and was hard to control. Screaming out how she felt betrayed by the people she looked up too and treated as family. She later wakes up in the Celestial Dragons room with Seastone cuffs and is ordered to put on a show for him. Refusing each time he asks and earning whips. With her only comfort being a young, nine year old boy and eleven year old girl who are also slaves of the Celestial Dragon. Being from the South Blue.

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">She later finds release when Fisher Tiger ordains an attack on Mariejois and free's the slaves. Seeing it as a chance of revenge against the people who abandoned her and against the man who held her captive, she kills the Celestial Dragon and escapes with the other freed slaves. Along with the young boy and girl who follows after her by the name of Maxwell and Victora. They both manage to flee on a small boat. Knowing she won't be able to go back and will be wanted, Roxy begins her life as an out-law and rogue but still holds up her vision of justice. Delivering "punishment" to those who live a willful life of wrong and crime. Fighting them to get stronger and not declaring herself as a pirate. Uninterested in the D in her name when she discovers bits and pieces along her journey about it and has no interest in becoming "pirate king". Only wanting fair justice to be delivered to those who deserve it.
