Blackbeard

"Shiver me timbers!"

Edward "Blackbeard" Teach is the world's most wanted pirate and the oldest of the current Leviathans. He leads a fleet of pirate ships as the captain of his own vessel, the Queen Anne's Revenge.

Despite his horrifying reputation and possession of the second highest bounty, Blackbeard dedicates his life on the seas to fighting corruption and pursuing romanticism.

Appearance
Blackbeard is a tall, intimidating man with typical pirate features such as an eyepatch and a complimentary parrot. He possesses long, black hair, a broad chin, pronounced cheekbones, and mutton chops that connect into a mustache. His beard is thick, braided, and as his nickname suggests, black.

The general attire of Blackbeard consists of a long, maroon cloak over a white, military-style outfit. He plants slow matches on his cap and lights them to intimidate enemies.

Personality
Blackbeard is a charismatic and eccentric man who enjoys acting in accordance to the pirate stereotype. He uses phrases such as "Ahoy, matey!" and "Yo-ho-ho!" to fuel the image while also scaring sailors for the purpose of upholding his reputation.

Blackbeard loves adventure and fun in general. He will toy with enemies in order to keep fights going in ways such as playing possum and holding back his full strength.

Tai Chi
When Blackbeard was still a rookie pirate, he had sailed to the Eastern Kingdom in order to undergo training under the legendary Master Zhan Yun, whom he had heard about from a Tai Chi practitioner he once encountered on the seas. Blackbeard had soon learned he is a prodigy in the art and surpassed his master in quick fashion.

When Blackbeard utilizes Tai Chi in battle, he converts his life force into energy. This process manifests itself as the following:

Potential and Kinetic Energy- Blackbeard drastically increases the force of his strikes by multiplying their mechanical energy to extreme degrees.

Thermal Energy- Blackbeard can release scorching hot thermal energy, most commonly in the form of fireballs.

Sonic Energy- Blackbeard can impair the senses of his enemy by releasing his sonic energy in the form of high-power quakes.
