Really great start on this one, Jak, looks to be a promising character for the future. But I don't find it to be very reasonable that a man whose tenure with the World Government was as short as his would somehow manage to become the "go-to-guy" of the Gorosei when there are clearly many other more capable figures around (i.e. the admirals, CP0; they are much more qualified than a Vice-Admiral).

Also, I fear that it's becoming an increasing trend on this site to have Vice Admirals whom are much younger than the ages we've seen in canon. It's not so easy as to climb through the marine ranks as some of us have made ourselves out to believe; even if a given individual is a gifted combatant, that does not translate to them being capable leaders, nor does it mean they have the rest of the set of skills that they'd need to be successful at that level.

I'd consider changing the rank just to get out of being cliche; my assumption is that you mean to allude to Dyson's strength and all with him having been a Vice Admiral, but a former rank really wouldn't mean much. It's also worthy of mentioning here that Vice Admirals are the rank just beneath Admirals; why would a person who's been through hell to get to that extent be so willing to abandon it all?

Finally, realize there's a lot of politics involved with the Marines. Guys who should be much higher in rank are not, while those that should be lower are in fact higher; examples being Spandam and Axe-Hand Morgan. So just understand that prodigal prowess does not correlate with a high rank in the marines; and actually, thinking all of this over, I don't even believe Autumn should have been given the rank that she did.
