[Other characters currently played] N/A
[Character name] Sanji
[Age] 19
[Canon] One Piece
[Point in time taken from canon] Shabondy Archipelago/After Kuma's hit
[Background] Sanji was born in North Blue and later joined a ship known as the Orbit as an apprentice cook boy. The ship was attacked by the Chef Pirates who followed the greatly know 'Red Leg' Zeff. Attempting to protect the ship, Sanji tried to fight back with two kitchen knives, but was easily thwarted with a powerful kick. A storm was also bombarding the ship with intense waves which swept at the decks and dragged Sanji below the raging sea. Zeff dove down belong to save him, there are two differences here from the manga and anime. In the anime it was while Zeff was saving Sanji from drowning that he lost his right leg, but the canon that will be used shall be the one from the manga.
After Zeff manages to rescue the young Sanji, they end up on a deserted island with what appears to be a giant sack of food. Zeff basically tosses him a measly small sack of food and tells him to wait on the other side of the island, and to not show his face to him until one of them sees help. Sanji is outraged at how he was given such small portions but eventually has no choice but to wait on the other side. It's never really stated the exact amount of time they were stranded. Though it is shown that Sanji scratched against rock to mark the passing of time which could have been anywhere from a couple of weeks to months, possibly.
Soon, on his last piece of molded bread, the show of starvation was clear with the appearance of a hollowed out face, and being able to see bones through skin. The last morsel fell from his fingers into the sea, and hunger was causing him to consider things he'd never would. With one kitchen knife still in hand he made his way back towards Zeff, intent on getting the giant sack of 'food' with whatever means necessary. Yet, it was as he slashed into the sack, that horror dawned on his face. There was never food in the giant sack Zeff had, but gold instead that he'd stolen. Of course that meant the small food he was given what was all either of them had, but Zeff had given it all to Sanji. This is were the manga and anime differentiate once more. In the manga the way Zeff survived during that long time was by eating his own right leg (I'll be going with this canon past for Sanji.)

About 9-10 years later we meet Sanji much later in the series on the Baratie, the floating restaurant. This is where Luffy and crew first meet him. At first Luffy tried to obtain Zeff as their chef, only to be declined, afterword when meeting Sanji and finding out he's also a cook he tries to persuade him to join. Sanji also declines the offer, saying he was needed at the Baratie. An chance meeting with a starving pirate named Gin, changes everything when later it's found out he was the commander of known pirate Don Krieg, whom the commander later brings to the restaurant in order to obtain food for all their starving crew-mates. Sanji is of course blamed and yelled at by the other chefs for bringing pirates such as Don Krieg to their establishment. Sanji though, refused to let anyone starve, after his hardships he'd never let another go through what him and Zeff had.
Though food was given to Don Krieg, it was quick to see he was just as vile as first perceived as he proceeded to take over the restaurant. Through the help of Luffy they were able to defeat Don Krieg. Afterward Zeff and the other chefs tell Sanji how he should leave the Baratie. They do so in a somewhat cruel manner that causes Sanji to run outside, slumping down for a smoke only to cry. It's as he's out there that he overhears that they were merely doing it to push Sanji into doing what he should be doing for himself and so that he could finally obtain his dream of finding 'All Blue' than there on the Baratie wasting away. Hearing this, Sanji comes back in cool and composed and tells Luffy he'll go with him. This marked the day that Sanji became one of the Straw Hat Pirates and started his journey towards the Grand Line and All Blue.
(Forgive me my TL;DR orz;; )

For a man who chain-smokes like a chimney, Sanji takes cooking quite seriously regardless of burning away at taste buds. When he was young he didn't mind throwing away the leftovers, but after his ordeal Sanji soon learned the value those old chefs had taught him. Never waste food. A concept he takes to heart, which is why he could made anything edible and never leave scraps from any meals he makes for the crew. How serious he is with being a cook shows also in the way he fights, since he refuses to use his hands during battle.
Sanji is also intelligent, when he isn't drooling over women. When it comes to it he tells the situation how it is, and finds solutions to problems in a 'behind the scenes' sort of manner, to the point where the others don't realize his actions until said actions are set in motion and they so happen to be exactly what the crew needed. A good example of that would be during the 'Little Garden Arc' in which the crew thought they'd be stuck on the island and though Sanji was not shown as much during this arc compared to the others; at the end he not only took down two agents from Baroque Works that were following them, but obtained the means to escape the island in one swoop to the surprise of everyone else.
Then of course there's the more temperamental side of Sanji. He doesn't care for people; i.e. men, lacking in manners, though he himself trash talks more often than not, interjecting words like 'shit' and 'shitty' into a lot of things even into people's names. Those who annoy him usually get a black sole heel to their face or other various locations of their anatomy. Once again women are excused from this treatment, because Sanji had been brought up with a strict upbringing to never hurt a lady, which he holds even when confronted with a female enemy.

It's obvious as one watches Sanji fight that he's extremely flexible, capable of bringing his leg fully skywards for a powerful upwards kick amidst other attacks that entail rotating quickly while on his hands for a spinning kick attack that can take down multiple enemies at once. His leg strength is capable of destroying through boulders, walls, buildings in general, and have the power to send things much larger than himself, flying. Also if he spins on his leg in place it will literally heat up and become unbearably hot to anyone who it comes in contact with. This strength also makes him extremely quick and agile on his feet and capable of leaping much higher than any average person.
A lot of his attacks are named for whatever part of the body he's attacking, or has some relation to food. He rarely calls them out, but when he does most of them have French names to them.
[Other important stuff] Sanji has a curly right eyebrow, which is considered one of the Mysteries of One Piece. It put an enemy, who was staring at it, in a trance. With one look Sanji is capable of knowing a woman's three measurements (*wink* Watch out Ladies~). Also the left side of his face is never shown, despite gravities attempts.

One moment he was watching his comrades, the shitty-mosshead, Brook and Usopp, disappear before his eyes and the next the same man loomed over him, his hand coming down to attack. He had not recalled any pain, and when he had cracked open his one visible eye there the cook was in the middle of a street. There was no way to judge how much time had passed since he'd gotten there, yet that didn't deter him from regarding his surroundings with a critical eye, only to realize he wasn't on the Archipelago any longer. The blond ticked off his injuries in his mind; broken bones again. Chopper wasn't going to like that.
Despite the throb coursing though his leg, Sanji continued down the lone alley he'd found himself in to finally come out to an open area. Now and then his eye glanced to a small piece of paper with each faltering step he took. "Hm, Guess the paper's a dud." A slow exhale of smoke trailed out from pursed lips as he lit the tip of a cigarette. It was his means of dealing with all forms of annoyances.
The only comfort he took as he pulled another drag of smoke, was that he could try to find his lost comrades and work a plan of escape to get back to the others before it was too late. Before that damn shitty Shichibukai did something to the girls and the others. Clenching the paper in his fist, he casually strolled towards what appeared to be a shop. If there was one way to get information, it was there.
[Which rule was your favorite and why?] Playercest, I could never really get why people would want to talk to themselves. |Dd
[Any questions?] Nope, I'm good.
