▐ ELABORATE
- ჻ HISTORY -
჻ PERSONALITY Smoker is a very rugged man and extremely hot-headed when the situation requires it. While he is seen as an extremely thoughtful man (Loguetown being an example of this), he does seem to think more with his gut than anything else. His temper sometimes does get the better of him, even though his intentions are entirely pure - he has a raging sense of justice that sometimes clouds his mind and orders him into actions that could potentially do more harm than good.
But as much as he can be gruff, Smoker is a kind soul, or at least he is a good man. While his pursuit of justice sometimes causes him to chase after the wrong man, he does have enough of a conscious that he is able to admit his mistakes. In Alabasta, this was shown as he released the Straw Hat Crew, allowing them to take down Crocodile. While he still does chase these particular pirates around the globe, it is only because he has something to prove - Luffy was the only pirate that ever escaped him and he has become a sort of obsession for Smoker. But that does not mean he is as cruel as the other Marines when it comes to chasing him down. In fact, Smoker has a warped sort of connection to the rookie pirate - it's the chase and the idea of bringing him to true justice that keeps Smoker going, not the idea of executing him.
Smoker does tend to brood with the mood suits him - during down time, he is often shown staring off or talking with some of his comrades about things connecting in his life, though he is solemn elaborate on those details. It seems his mind is always thinking, always watching for the next meaningful sign for his crusade of justice that borders on an anti-hero status.
The Commodore is also a man that goes against mainstream-thought, especially career-wise. Most of his known associates have had some trouble with him because he really does not adhere to rules and regulations very well. He is a free-spirited man locked in conservative thought, which ends up creating a very insubordinate creature by nature.

OPTION II
- ✔ THIRD PERSON SAMPLE: It wasn't a surprise that as soon as he fell back to sleep in his quarters, he awoke to the familiar sting of ash and sea-salt in his nose. He knew that he wasn't home anymore - every time that particular brand of nausea hit him, it was quite obvious where he had been taken. Smoker opened an eye lazily, frown cutting at the edges of his face. Nuadoria again, what a damn surprise. The Commodore huffed through his nostrils and slid himself up into a seating position. Instinctual motions set in and two cigars found his lips within a few beats. They were lit and sucked upon as Smoker contemplated his situation.
What was it this time? Another disaster needed a clean up? Or was this a precaution in case the shit hit the proverbial fan? Probably a mix of both, Smoker mused. Nuadoria had an uncanny ability of bringing him back whenever it needed his assistance. Since no one else was going to do it, why not call the old Marine back?
Smoker blew a thick cloud of smoke through his mouth. He'd have to thank the bastards later.
The Marine was to his feet and he gruffly rummaged around his coat; he found his Den-Den within a few minutes and noticed the modifications instantly. He sighed with a bit of wariness in his voice. "I suppose this is becoming a habit," he spoke as he alerted the snail-phone to the predicament and began his first transmission.
✔ FIRST PERSON SAMPLE: (Reaction to Nuadoria)
