Cicero D. Melodias

Cicero Melodias is a Vanateleri from the island of Thralinor. He was born on the island and lived there most of his life, until the age of 100. At that age he would be permitted to leave the island if he wished and if he could. Even at the age of 20, Melodias desired to see the great world beyond his island. He spent his time waiting until that day on his two hobbies, zoology and the flute. He practiced his flute every day until his melodies could literally move the soul. He studied creatures in the rest of his free time, tracking them and studying their behavior. Upon reaching the age of 100 he utilized Respira to tame a sea king an make his way outside the island. He travelled all over the world and learned many things, including how the animals of the world were being killed, exploited, and enslaved on some islands. Not to mention how some islands and their wildlife were being decimated in senseless battles. Melodias set out to stop it but he needed help. Using his sea king he followed an old legend from his island, a story that an elder of there's told from his time outside the island. It was of a devil fruit buried in a cave in the calm belt. He found the fruit, known as the Mei Mei no Mi, and ate it. With his new power he set out and became head of the. Their goal was not to plunder but to preserve life.

Devil Fruit
Melodias ate the Life Life Fruit, a devil fruit that allows the user to give life to non-living objects. It also gives him the ability to give even more life to living beings in a very special way. The fruit is extremely versatile and truly makes him one with nature. This fruit's strength lies in the fact that it can turn non-living objects into living beings. For example it can transform a rock into an armadillo or a vine into a snake. The size and shape of the object do determine what animals the user may transform it into. Melodias must also know of the animal they want the object to become. This is boosted by his massive knowledge of animals across the world and the amount of information he knows about them. By learning about new creatures he can expand his abilities, meaning that until he achieves his goal of documenting all the animals in the world, there's still more to go. Once he has turned something into a living being it will stay that way for around five hours before reverting back, he can also cause it to manually revert back at any time. Melodias can also command the creatures he creates at will. Predator animals can be commanded to attack and can be harmed and kill, reverting to their inorganic form when they are. Even if the animal sustained heavy damage the object itself will come out unharmed. Prey animals cannot be commanded to attack or very specifically. They do however carry a special power as they are defenseless nature. If a prey animal such as a deer is punched it will not be affected but whoever punched it will be hit by that punch. So if they bisect the deer they will be bisected instead. This is referred to as the Rules of Nature. Melodias is also able to communicate with any animals they create, giving him the ability to use them as scouting tools.

Busoshoku Haki
Melodias is extremely skilled in the use of Bososhuko Haki. With this power he is able to create an invisible armor around himself. This armor can defend against seriously powerful attacks though with enough force or a more powerful haki user it can be broken. Melodias can also extend his haki to his weapons or his own devil fruit.
 * Busoshoku: Koka: Melodias is capable of using this technique to enhance his haki. With it he can harden various parts of his body, giving them a black coloring and severely increasing his strength and durability on those parts of him.

Kenbunshoku Haki
Melodias is a skilled practitioner of Kenbunshoku Haki. With this power he is able to sense the world around him whether it be organic or inorganic. With this power Melodias can sense people extremely far away from him and even see people concealed by objects. When active his haki literally maps the area around him, highlighting everything he wants highlighted and leaving the rest as nothing. In his younger days he used this to track certain beasts that he wanted to study.
