Bane Lucian

Bane Lucian, also known as The Great Bane is a pirate, a magician and of the "Sea-Star Pirates". His greatest aspiration is to become the Worlds Smartest Man.

Appearance
Bane Lucian stands at 6 foot 1, and is a Caucasian Human male. His hair is a light blonde color, and his eyes are a piercing yellow. At most times he drapes himself in cloaks, gowns or jackets to come off as a mysterious and intelligent type. Hood is optional.

Personality
Bane seems to believe strongly in the power of ones mind over their raw strength, as well as the power of being calm and collected versus emotional and rash. If there is a solution to be had, where his goal is met without the use of violence, he prefers the option. Though, can hold his own come a fight.

Abilities and Powers
Bane is a reasonably intelligent man, not to be so foolish at to rush into a scenario without proper knowledge. It's because of this he is considered a valuable asset, ally and strategist. Aside from this, He is also a Magician in many forms, considering the ability to use his mind to outwit his opponents, or simple minded people.

Weaponry

 * Master's Deck - A deck of 52 cards that Bane carries everywhere. These cards are used in conjunction with his Devil Fruit abilities.

Devil Fruit
Bane ate the Cado Cado no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit allowing him to Manipulate Playing Cards.

Bane can use this ability in many forms, but its most prominent is to absorb different attacks, explosions, Elements, people, or even pain itself into the cards and release them at a later time. Bane can control the cards within the area, using them to attack opponents with long range attacks. Alongside this, Bane can even enter the cards himself and travel through them as a method of escape.

Bane can manipulate the cards in size as well. Bane can also use this to traverse through air, by using his cards as stepping stones, or full on flight by standing on cards.


 * Draw - Bane absorbs something into his card.
 * Trap Card - Bane releases an absorbed attack at an enemy.

Illusion
Bane is a master of illusion, by distracting or otherwise getting into an opponents mind, he can make them believe in the false or the fake through seer wit. Escaping in puffs of smoke or sawing someone in half are mere parlor tricks to a magician like Bane.

Most of Bane's illusions are used through the use of his Devil Fruit such as: Levitation, Transportation or even Escape Tricks.

Mentalism
Again, through seer wit and intelligence, Bane can read the signs of a person's body language in many forms.


 * Hypnosis - By hypnotizing an opponent, Bane can put them to sleep or even make them perform simple tasks if they cannot overpower him.
 * Clairvoyance - By utilizing body language or tell signs, Bane can get information from an opponent by simply outwitting them by speaking fast or before they can react.
 * Telepathy - By speaking with little mouth movement, Bane can convince an opponent he is speaking to them through their mind and confuse them.
