Bio
The most promising heir of House Andros, Saint Onyx Noelle Andros. Even outside of whatever warped standards the Celestial Dragons have, Saint Onyx outwardly presents himself as an immaculate gentleman. He's respectful to all he comes across, being one of the rare few that harbors no disdain for those of the lower realms and even more rare, Saint Onyx has no slaves to his name and walks both on the Red Line and sails the high seas with glee. He does still wear a customary glass helmet to the lower realms and dons the classic Celestial Dragon hairstyle, but he considers it a mere adherence to tradition rather than anything too arrogant. In fact, Saint Onyx famously (or infamously among his fellow Dragons) wears a cracked helmet most of the time, and will be more than willing to regail the tale about how a commoner from a village he went to threw a rock at it with a charming smile. Legend tells he even made sure that that child's family didn't have to pay their share the Heavenly Tribute as a reward for making him laugh so hard at the time.
Something that pisses off his fellow Dragons even more, Saint Onyx can even be seen fervently apologizing for the sins of his forefathers and genuinely trying to integrate into the populous of the realm below. Its not an entirely uncommon sight to see him drinking copious amounts of alcohol in mortal bars and festivals, and even attending mortal concerts. Though much to his chagrin, he's been permanently banned from Emperor Taiyo's Concerts before he could even ever attempt to attend one. How unfortunate :( .
Though his outward demeanor is genuinely as welcoming as can be, those within House Andros (along with a few others) know that a truly terrifying monster lurks within the kind soul of Saint Onyx. He was given the distinct "honor" of being personally groomed from infancy by the Patriarch of House Andros, Elder Rufus Sargon Andros. Via incredibly intrusive physical and mental training methods known only to the Elder himself, Saint Onyx has had any and all of his negative urges, impulses, and thoughts forcibly suppressed deep within his psyche. To only to be let bare once ordered to jam the surrounding Den Den Mushi forcibly activate his Devil Fruit via his Depths Covenant. To be refined into a blade for House Andros unlike any other.
The only thing known about the depths of Elder Rufus's mental manipulations by other Celestial Dragons and the World Government at large, is that the dual Herbivorous and Carnivorous instincs of the Ryu Ryu No Mi Model: Therizinosaurus specifically were apprently crucial to artifically producing such a bipolar individual.
Once this condition is met, his personality completely and utterly flips into an overwhelmingly vulgar, sadistic, and most importantly frighteningly competent immortal berserker who loves nothing more than slowly (or fast depending on circumstances/orders) flaying people apart with his claws and doing unspeakable things to whatever remains. Even the worst anti-Celestial Dragon propaganda (or tales told from former slaves) pale in comparison to the "real" Saint Onyx. Typically only "released" in competitions for House Andros's Glory or when Elder Rufus really, really wants an island forcibly depopulated. Only when no more screams can be heard and he is an island away does his more happy-go-lucky self return, entirely forgetting whatever atrocities he just committed.
Fighting Style
Saint Onyx's fighting style centers around the enormous claws given to him by his Devil Fruit, allowing him to either carve people into bloody chunks with a single swing or spill draw a single, long cut across a poor soul's body in a delicate caress that's anything but loving. Against non-civilians, he can imbue a considerable amount of Armament Haki into his claws, allowing the already sharp appendages with the strength of a Depths Covenant-enhanced Ancient Zoan to clash with some of the strongest weapons and people around. Along with his Armament, Saint Onyx is a master of Observation, meaning no victims may escape his grasp and no ambush will go unnoticed.
Though while swinging his claws around like normal works just fine, his Ryu Ryu No Mi Model: Therizinosaurus allows him to take a far more unique approach to clawed combat. At five distinct points in each of his six claws, the bony cores underneath the keratin claws can extend outwards a considerable margin, turning the already terrifying claws into bladed whips. This technique is often combined with Shigan (Finger Pistol), allowing those unfamiliar with Saint Onyx's fighting style (which is basically everyone considering both the secrecy around it and the distinct lack of witnesses) to get a nasty surprise by miscalculating his effective range of attack.
