[attr="class","appear"]
Height: 6'4"

Hair Color: Silvery platinum blond, as if it was made of strands of pure silver threads, mostly tied back in a long tail, reaching down to the backs of his knees, with the top wild and barely contained by his hat.
Eye Color: Naturally a deep sapphire blue, but the right eye is a bright ruby red because of its mechanical nature
Attire: A sleek and stylish outfit made for a trickster-like style, the coat of this outfit is long, with a unique collar and lapels, and tattered end, all in gray with black trim. Underneath is a raised-collared shirt, in either red, black, or white, with a crimson tie. Covering his legs are dark gray jeans, with pistol holsters on either hip, and specialized boots, low in the front and high in the back, with a zipper up the back, gilded trim around the tops, and very soft, supple soles, allowing for a silent step at any speed. Finally, his hair is pulled back into a long, narrow tail, and his head is topped with a hat reminiscent of a mix of a fedora and a stetson. Around his waist is a bandolier, loaded with bullets.

An outfit designed for mechanic work, comprised of plain dark-gray pants, a black t-shirt, crossed belts around his waist, and a multicolor striped headband, holding his long, wild hair back from his face. In this outfit, he doesn't wear his gloves or shoes.

Finally, when acting as Nanashi, he wears a dark outfit designed to disguise his build, as well as his mechanical features, and has a dark mask covering most of his head, with a lighted red visor covering the eyes, and the addition of a short, spiky black wig hiding his silver hair.
Abnormalities: The remaining organics parts of Jack's left shoulder and upper legs are heavily scarred from the incident that caused his need of prosthetics. As well, his right hand is fairly scarred from swordfighting and blacksmithing, and there is a very faint, barely visible scar around his mechanical eye, in the shape of an X.

A large manor, just north of the main of Macchina di Terrano. A young couple give birth to a happy, strong baby boy, and a cute, somewhat hyper baby girl, both with hair of silver and eyes as azure blue as the very sea. The children's grandmother, Platina, walked into the room, and stated that she would be naming them, as was customary in their family. So, Platina decided to name the boy Johnathan, after his grandfather, and the girl Jacqueline, a name she was somewhat fond of.

Over the next four years, the twins appeared to not only be rather smart for their age, but asked their grandmother to teach them to fight. As such, Platina decided to train the kids, teaching them how to use weapons. The training was rather grueling, because Platina held a secret. Before becoming pregnant with their father and deciding that it was time to move back to her hometown with her family, Platina was head gunner on Gold Roger's crew. Throughout the training, Platina would recount stories of her days on the seas with Roger's crew.

Eight more years passed, and, during his training with Platina, Jack had met two children about his own age, a boy named Alek, and a young girl named Luna, and became quick friends with them, while Jackie kept her distance, being somewhat shy. The girl had a keen interest in machines, which intrigued Jack. As more time passed, Jack soon fell in love with her, though he was too shy to tell her. So, he continued his training, and continued to spend time with her.

Jumping forward another three years, to when Jack was fifteen. Life was ideal, he had gotten in trouble with Alek various times, and hanging out a lot with Luna, until one day in the summer, disaster struck. The outskirts of Macchina was attacked by bandits, aiming to draw out Platina. Jack, finding out about the bandits, tried to confront them, managing to incapacitate two of the five large men, however, unfortunately for Jack, he had only then realized that Luna was being held captive by the bandits.

Jack, in his rage over the capture of the girl, charged at the men. But, he lost his composure, simply making him an easy target. The leader of the bandits, wielding a large axe, struck down upon Jack's left shoulder, severing the entire arm. Roaring out in pain, Jack doubled over, where the bandit leader struck at Jack's legs with his axe, severing the tendons. The second bandit, upset that his boss was having all the "fun", decided to stab Jack's right eye, permanently damaging it. Almost immediately after this, three gunshots were heard, and the bandits all fell, downed by bullets to the head.

After receiving medical treatment, Jack became depressed. He couldn't fight. He couldn't train. And worst of all, he couldn't protect the girl that he loved. However, Luna knew how to fix this. Over the next two years, while Jack was recuperating, she had decided to design mechanical replacements for what Jack had lost. New legs, a new arm, a new eye. She knew that this would cheer him up.

As Luna finished the prosthetics, she hurriedly brought them to Jack, and told him of what she had done for him. She requested that he have them attached immediately. After Jack was wheeled out of the room, he placed his new feet upon the ground, and walked over to Luna. He immediately hugged her, something he was unable to do for two long years, tears staining his left cheek.

As Jack got home, he gathered various books on mechanics, and a good amount of Beli to sustain him. Hiding away his supplies, he returned to Luna's side, confessing his love for her, and asked her to spend the night with him.

The next morning, Jack took his supplies from their hiding place, left a note on the pillow beside Luna, and set off on his travels, hoping to grow. Hoping to become strong. Strong enough to protect those he loves.

Inside the note, in a sharp, angular script, read the following. "I can't stay. I have to go out into the world and get stronger. Otherwise, I couldn't protect you. And I couldn't stand to lose the one I love the most. I won't be coming back to this place until I become strong enough to protect everyone. I'm sorry, and farewell. We'll be together again, for sure."

Shortly after leaving his homeland, he joined up with a crew, not realizing at the time exactly who the captain was. For a long year, Jack served as the shipwright on the woman known as Ace's crew. After about a month with her crew, he came across a crate in the storage of the ship, which appeared to be unopened and rather old. Cracking it open, he found something intriguing inside. A strange fruit in various shades of red and blue, and covered in swirls. Being quite hungry at the time, Jack simply devoured the fruit without thinking, only realizing afterward that it was a Devil Fruit. From there on, he practiced daily with his new powers, aiming to master them quickly. It didn't take him long to get the hang of them, and before long, he was creating near-perfect illusions. However, all good things must come to an end, and after a year, the captain, Ace, had been arrested, and sent away. Jack, suspecting they'd have executed her on the spot, assumed her dead, and slipped away in the night to continue on his own way, and kept his captain in his memories.

Before long, Jack had made his way into the New World, passing through Fishman Island as a stowaway on a pirate ship to get in, and another different one to get out. Upon reaching the New World, he made his presence on the ship known, and made the crew a deal. If they could defeat him in battle, they could decide his fate. But if he were to win, he would decide their's. Within a mere moment, the entire crew went down without even any effort. Jack had decided that, rather than have them swim with the sharks, he'd make them his own crew, and become a legend in the New World. He would soon take on the name of Nanashi, to hide his true self, and use this crew and his own power to become one of the infamous Yonkou, who ruled over the New World. However, although he enjoyed the life of a Yonkou, it took a heavy toll on him to constantly keep up his masquerade, so he had an idea. He would find another crew, and join as a low-profile member once again, a shipwright, and moonlight as Nanashi. Since then, his life has been both fun and exciting, and only greater adventures await.

[attr="class","weapon"]

• ⚔ Artiglio Nero{Black Claw} - A lightly curved black sword forged of an incredibly durable metal, mixed with a hint of Jack's own blood, making it immune to damaging effects of heat and flame, and an edge of alloyed Emberstone, causing it to light ablaze when unsheathed, with a single, large synthetic fire opal, cut in a rhombus shape, decorating the top of the hilt.
  
• ⚔ Pioggia Nera{Black Rain} - A set of twenty throwing knives forged of the same black metal as the Nero Zanna, with an Emberstone base, with small onyxes inlaid.
  
• ⚔ Mezzanotte Rosa{Midnight Rose} - A pair of custom-made revolvers with a size somewhat larger than a real-life S&W Model 500 revolver. The revolvers are forged of a high-resistance black alloy, inlaid with deep scarlet fire opals, with a handle of bloodwood, and are chambered to hold seven rounds.
• ⚔ Zanna di Sangue{Fang of Blood} - The standard ammunition for the Mezzanotte Rosa, custom-forged by Jack for his personal use, these rounds have strontium chloride salts mixed into the Night-brand gunpowder, producing a deep scarlet muzzle flash. The shells are forged of brass, and engraved with the design shown, while the bullets themselves are forged of a silver alloy, and tipped with carved deep red synthetic spinel. The calibre of the rounds is roughly identical to the real-life S&W .500 Magnum round.
  
• ⚔ Banger Bots - Curious little robots that Jack invented, Banger Bots are effectively walking time bombs, following a designated target until.....BANG! They explode! Somehow or another, despite not carrying a bag of parts, Jack can manage to make one any time, any where.
  
• ⚔ Glitter Squall - A special type of small bomb Jack invented. In form, it appears to be like a small stick of dynamite, no more than three inches long and an inch thick, spiraled with lines of matte black and glittery white. When lit, the fuse last for ten seconds (The span from one post to the next), and the explosion has a radius of five feet. The bombs have a quite unique function, because, rather than being made to damage the foe, instead intended to spread a special "glitter" around the foe, made of small reflective metal flakes, and reflects light very easily, which can either be used to strategically blind the foe, or to reflect light in a way that amplifies or multiplies Jack's mirages.
  
• ⚔ Screamin' Sally - A terrifying weapon, Screamin' Sallies are Jack's answer to flashbangs, producing a bright red light and a loud screeching squeal upon detonation. The Screamin' Sallies come in two varieties, one with a timed fuse, and one that explodes on impact, differentiated with a red light panel on the timed fuse variant, and a blue panel on the impact variant.
  
• ⚔ Hornet Nest - Another wicked bomb, made specifically for non-lethal take-down of large groups, the Hornet Nests are effectively sting grenades, medium-sized gray plastic balls filled with explosives and metal ball-bearings, which, upon detonation, scatter at high velocity, causing massive pain to any flesh impacted, but rarely leaving permanent damage.
  
• ⚔ Alice in Wonderland - Jack's most wicked bomb, despite the entire inability to do any physical damage. Rather, Alice in Wonderland is a gas grenade, but painted in a myriad of fanciful colors, unlike the normal casings, hinting at and yet belying the nature of the contents. You see, the gas inside the Alice in Wonderland is a powerful hallucinogen, derived from various rare plants cultivated by Jack in his "Secret Garden", and upon the inhalation of this rainbow-colored gas, victims begin to immediately see vivid hallucinations, some fanciful, some disturbing, and some downright horrifying, but always intensely colorful.
  
• ⚔ Sensation Rafflesia - Another non-explosive gas grenade, this one colored red with white rosettes. The lavender gas inside, rendered from the nectar and pollen of the Vulu Pulu Rafflesia, enhances all of the senses of the victim to extreme levels, causing disorienting and painful sensory overload. The fun part is that the gas doesn't just affect the "five senses", but rather all twenty-odd proper senses, including one's sense of timing, sense of temperature, and sense of location in comparison to oneself.
