Backstory and Character

Notorious New World fishman bounty hunter Quake Armstrong has mysterious origins. Perhaps unloved by his family (fish do tend to have a lot of eggs, anyway), what he'll tell you is that he was once an ordinary, small, broke, unmotivated fish in a big pond. Until one day, he saw a mermaid in a dream, and she sang a beautiful, mesmerising song to him... one he'll never be able to forget! He sang it back to himself so many times, that his voice became his most powerful weapon! And since then, he's been using this power with the goal of pleasing his true passion... wealth.

The fishman travels the waters accompanied by the one thing in the world he seems to care for other than himself -- his pet Sea King, Roger! Roger came across Quake's ship one day and was strangely drawn to it. No matter how loudly or terribly Quake would sing, Roger didn't seem to mind. Because he was deaf. Quake saw this as the ultimate act of allegiance, since no one had ever stood his voice before! Since then, the bounty hunter tamed the Sea King and they've travelled together since.

Quake sails on his boombox battleship, the Clare Torry, equipped with gigantic industrial speakers as her main form of attack. From the stage on board the ship, Quake can use Death's Song, his specialised microphone, to amplify his voice even harder than it normally does, and blow away any enemy combatant or ship that may DARE oppose him and his search for more money. Otherwise, Quake is a versatile combatant that uses his booming voice, the Six Powers, Rokuogan and Fishman Karate as his main skills. He's more crafty than he seems, weaving away from opponents with cartoon shenanigans and laughing while he does it before he sends his enemies flying with massive shockwaves. His special Fishman Karate technique is Tectonic Pulse, which will cause amazing ripples around him, be it on land or at sea -- much like an earthquake! But it's not an earthquake. No matter how much he says it is. Haki? Oh, Quake picked up a little Haki here and there, but he doesn't care much for it when he can SING!

For all intents and purposes, Quake is morally grey. He works for whoever can pay him the most. He'd like to have a band, a crew of his own someday, but who could stand him?! Other than Roger, of course. He'll work for pirates, marines, or whoever has fat loads of cash for him to hoard. What does he buy with that? ...not much, Quake's rather stingy and just likes keeping money in a room like Scrooge McDuck. Not like he's exceptionally rich, anyway, he just WANTS to be rich and he'll do whatever nets him the most amount of money in the moment.
