Captain John

Lean and of middling height, John kept long lavender hair above a fair complexion, blue eyes, and a light scattering of stubble across his chin. For the God Valley Incident he turned out in a pink shirt under a dark coat whose trim, buttons, and epaulettes were all yellow, its green sleeves pushed up to the elbows. Drink stayed close at hand in both his living years and his undead ones.

His zombie self had gray-brown flesh and wore a bandaged white shirt beneath a red coat, its epaulettes yellow and its sleeve ends tipped in pink. Vertical white-and-black stripes ran down his trousers, two blades protruded from his stomach where death had found him, and his gut was riddled with open stab wounds.

John's avarice in life ran so deep, and his nature so vile, that his own crew rose in mutiny and killed him. He drank to excess, and like every other man aboard with the Rocks Pirates he was smitten with Shakky the instant he laid eyes on her, declaring that her favor belonged to whoever piled up the most loot. He acted on that belief by using his magnetism to drag all of God Valley's treasure toward himself. Returned as a zombie, he stayed sluggish and soaked in liquor, the alcohol he swallowed dribbling back out through his perforated belly.

In his living years John ran with the mighty Rocks Pirates before leaving to make his own name, though as a leader he failed badly enough for his crew to mutiny and end him. His power came from the Jiki Jiki no Mi, a Paramecia fruit that let him bend magnetic fields to draw metal toward him or hurl it away; with it he fashioned a metal gauntlet and tried to sweep up the riches of God Valley. He was physically remarkable too, lifting a treasure sack several times his own size in a single hand without strain, and he bounced back quickly from an explosive blow dealt by Ganzui. A blue-hilted sword and a green-hilted one hung at his belt alive and dead alike. As a General Zombie he was all but unkillable, with salt his lone vulnerability.
