#frizzle fleet

"Ha ha! Its time for us to set sail and make our own fun!

Captain “Frizzle” Tuz - 54 - Cis Dude (He/Him) - Human Wanted - Dead or Alive || Captain & Founder/Owner of the Frizzle Fleet 

ABOUT- -

The face (and brains) behind the "Frizzle Fleet", a delivery/courier service who delivers to/for pirates. Like everyone else in his fleet, Tuz's outfits are based off of clowns/jesters (and similar themes) when it comes to motifs and colors. Design wise his looks are one part cowboy, one part 1970s, and all parts over the top glam. Kinda like if a rodeo clown and an elvis impersonator gave birth to a himbo of a man.

PERSONALITY - -

Is a very very very extra man with a terrible filter and Big Zaney Ideas. His moral compass is..not the worst (it could be better)! Does care about his crew in his own weird way. Horrible boss, ok friend!  Doesn't actually wish to cause his crew harm- becomes distressed if they're actually injured (totally fine with them being stressed the fuck out tho). The kind of person that if someone fell down the stairs he would be like "oh they're fine" if they said they were fine (and not in need of medical attention).

HISTORY - -

Tuz grew up in Totto Land and stayed there til his early 20s alongside a young dwarf who wanted to set out into the world. They would part ways at Sabaody Archipelago, and he would bounce around pirate crews for a little bit before finding one that suited him best. Not a whole lot is known about this part of Tuz’s life other than the crew was fairly well known, and that it was eventually taken down by the Navy. Tuz would end up in Impel Down for six years (not that you’d know if you met him), only escaping when his Lord and Savior (The Great and Powerful Captain Buggy) broke (mostly) everyone out. Tuz was lucky enough to escape Marineford, but was too badly injured to leave with Buggys followers & ended up traveling and healing at Kamabakka Kingdom.

And after that? Well! A lot happened! He met Madder & the rest of his crew (though not all at once)! He “recruited” (kidnapped) the start of his deivery copapny, got a headquarters set up, and now, five years later, hes made quite the name for himself!! 

Fun Notes

Big simp for Buggy the Clown. Is a stan. Doesn't want to kiss him, but does think he's awesome (has a warped perception of the dude).

Doesn't have an "inside" voice. 

Had "work done" while at the Kamabakka Kingdom, specifically relating to hair growth & his complexion.

Tuz is VERY proud of his hair & appearance, he loves to peacock. 

Is actually good at fighting/being on a ship. 

More likely to try to make a deal with another pirate crew than fight them (he makes more money via the delivery services than theft). Weaker crews are challenged to Davy Back Fights (its how he got a number of his workers). 

Checkers AKA Check - Cis Dude -- He/Him // 37 // Borzoi Mink  Captive | Senior Courier @ Frizzle Fleet | Devil Fruit User

At 6’8, Chek is considered to be on the “taller side” for a courier (tho he’s fairly short next to most pirate crews). He’s a lanky dog-bird-man who tends to lean/slump/sprawl over things like a limp noodle. Gives the enegy of a lazy guy in his 20s, not a dude who is pushing 40. Lazy nature aside, he is good at his job, and has made record times with his speedier delivers! His talents- the few he chooses to express- have landed him countless opportunities for promotions, only for him to turn each and everyone down. Chek would rather be a “big fish in a small pond”, preferring to keep things easy n breezy, with minimal expectations. Checkers isn’t the worst person to interact with, especially if you’re chatting him up off duty. He’s a chill mink with a care-free attitude that’ll happily “shot the shit” over a drink or two- more if you’re paying! Just don’t try to get him to fight- he’s not combat ready and will fly away the second swords are drawn. 

Its been theorized by some of his coworkers that he might show more effort in a workplace that wasn’t also holding him captive… (Note: He was kidnapped years ago and could have left..just didn't.)

Ate the Awk-Awk Fruit so now he can turn into a Heron! He can shift into the full transformation or a half-transformation (anthro heron time). His hat is always present in all forms (if he happens to be wearing it). 

Bc of powers he can eat without chewing when he is in his heron form. He forgets this, often, and tries to swallow things whole when dog guy. This never goes well.

Only seems to seriously listen to/respects people he considers to be friends/peers OR who are higher ranking officers within the fleet he’s in. Yes this causes problems. 

Hates getting drenched/fully wet.

Seems to be unaware that his "boss" has some sort of crush on him. 

If you asked him what his favorite famous pirate was he would say Law! Specifically because of his connection to Zou & his support of Minks. (Strawhats & Whitebeard pirates are also cool, he just vibes with Law the most.)

His hat stays on when he transforms into his Heron form! Its coloring resembles something between his current coloring and a blue heron. 

"Nothing wrong with a little glitz~"

Madder aka "Harlequin" - 45 - Gender Fluid Dude (He/Him) - Human Wanted - Dead or Alive || Devil Fruit User 

ABOUT- -

A somewhat vain man who takes great pride in his public persona. When boarding other ships he is a terror in red, his wardrobe only rivaled by his Captains (that is always, without a doubt, outrageous). When he's not in the spotlight Madder sheds his garish persona, shoing a more down-to-earth side of himself (at least in comparison to his "stage" self). He gets along well with most of the Laughing Tol crew, and tends to act as a mediator (or translator) between the Fleet and their very extra boss/captain.

PERSONALITY - -

TBA!!

HISTORY - -

Maddy doesn't share a whole lot about his life. He was a well known Gol D. Roger impersonator at a popular burlesque club for many years! The only reason he stopped was because he ended up up being arrested & thrown into Impel Down for Anti Government Propaganda (via his shows). Manage to get to Level 5.5 & worked there for a time. The only reason he got out was because of Straw Hats jailbreak! Afterwards he stayed on Momoiro Island where he met Tuz. He joined the mans freshly formed crew not long after.

Fun Notes

Crew & friends call him Maddy or Mads. He has also been called Harl or Harls on occasion.

Lays on the charm. Not as badly as his captain. Often flirts with civilians (seems to find "normies" more appealing than zany pirates).

Due to his old job he knows how to sew/mend pretty well!! His captain, and a lot of the commands, often take advantage of this skill and try to get him to mend/tailor/embroider stuff for them. He hates this.
