Geography
-----------------------------------

Where Is It Located?
Claustrum Island is a place in the Grand Line, on the other side known as the New World. It is considered a large body of land that raises higher towards the clouds - a mountainous plane that allows various levels from the base and flattened hilltops that give perfect structure and room for construction. Its lush, green state is considered a rarity in comparison to other islands which hold intense weather/geographical conditions that would make the island very pleasant for visitors.

If I Were To Visit, What Would I See?
There are several places on Claustrum Island that would make it a great place for visitors to relax on, with several features giving it a comfortable environment.

• The Pub ~ A centralized place in the middle of the mountainous range, settled on a flat top right on the center of the island and is constructed to be three stories high. On the bottom floor is a pub/bar where several bartenders tend to a large establishment that delivers both food and drink at hefty prices. But if you have the dough, you will gain low-quality liquor at rip-off bargains. The higher floors hold places for rooms to sleep off your hangover, recover from your injuries, and make whoopie with each other. But be careful, privacy is not guaranteed!
  
• Claustrum Beachline ~ A resonating spot of crime and passion, families hang around the shoreline for various reasons - from gambling to swimming in the ocean to wrestling sharks and whales, to trading at the ports, to preparing to set sail and destroy bounties. The waters are dangerous, but if one dares to brave along the shoreline, they'll find an array of sealife that takes base on the shores and interact with the 'cubs' of the Delasangre Clan. Many of these 'cubs' take the sealife home as pets as well, so don't be surprised to see a 'cub' riding a large shark beast every now and then.
  
• Gambling Halls ~ The wolves of the Delasangre Clan love a good betting game, so these halls rest on the lower edges of the mountainous plane and allow for the adults of the Clan to shell their money out on various games. These halls also have rings in them where one can test their skill against each other, and there are no rules.
  
• Residential Dens ~ Contrary to the belief of many, the Delasangre Mercenaries live on excellent, well-to-do means, and it is reflected in the housing structure along the planes of the mountain island. Behind lush forests and trees rest many multi-story buildings that, if stumbled across, will have several servants tending to the grounds as well as 'cubs' playing around the yards and practicing their talent. The more elaborate homes belong to the highest and strongest of the Delasangre Clan, as one will be able to tell the level of talent and kill-count by the size of the Wolf's 'Den'.

The Delasangre Clan
-----------------------------------

Just Who Are They?
The Delasangre Clan are a mercenary-strong kinsmen whose motif is represented by the canine. The main branch of the Delasangre are direct descendent of the Delasangre line, and are represented by the animal Wolf in order to signify their hunter-like mentality and their closeness to their 'pack' or kin, and branch families are represented by other canine-like motifs that best benefit their overall situation.

• see Hunt: kill/obtain bounties.
  
• see Survive:  living and paying for their lifestyle.
  

Okay, But How Do They Fight?
The main combat structure of the Delasangre Clan is aggressive, with preference being given to certain types of weaponry in order to allow for them to execute their 'hunt' rather smoothly. This shows in the teachings of swordsmanship and physical training to hone their already fine, natural talent.

• see Angelique Delasangre: whips.
  

WELL, THEY MUST LIVE LIKE ANIMALS, RIGHT?
Actually, despite being a worldly-renowned feral clan, the Delasangre live in rather well-done means due to their traditional occupation and the fact that their targets are rather grand for each Delasangre mercenary. Their homes could be considered regal in appearance and nature, with servants to tend to it and elaborate building structures on Claustrum Island in order to host rings for sparring matches, academies for talent training, miniscule trading posts, and of course, a main centralized pub/inn area to generate good spirits and for guests who are welcomed by the clan.

Is That Why They Look So Fancy?
Most of the Delasangre Clan also dress to represent this well-to-do lifestyle, with the men and women favoring suit-like clothing to not only help maintain a decent look, but are designed to help hold their weaponry at close range and monitor their 'prey' with ease.

• see Prey: victims.
  

So, Are They A Friendly Folk?
Each Delasangre holds a generally similar attitude admongst the Clan:

• they prefer challenges to keep up with their sharp wits and to keep them entertained.
  
• they are not afraid to utilize their killer instincts to help them 'hunt'.
  
• they are a loud, proud, and boisterious people who enjoy having a good time and are extremely family-oriented.
  

Oddities of the family are considered 'runts', yet are generally accepted in the nature of their kinsmen.

• See: Angelique Delasangre ~ Oddity: dislike of killing, peacemaker.
  

Do They Have A Government?

Trade Information
-----------------------------------

So. . .Just What Is It That They Do?
Anything that involves killing, really. The Delasangre Clan are mercenaries by trade, working for whoever and whatever will provide the highest bounties towards their overall survival. Most Delasangre are trained from youth to grow and fight using various arsenal, and the Clan is naturally gifted with a talent to kill and the inherited traits to do so. Because of this, they have no true allegiance to any sort group - World Government or Pirate - and are a Neutral Clan that works off greed.

• see Various Occupations: Bounty Hunter. Assassin. Spy. Arms Dealer.
  

As Bounty Hunters, What Are They Like?
The Delasangre are a picky group, and will only seek the highest bounties that will also offer them the most challenge. Usually high-class enemies of the world, pirate crews, Marines, and island conflicts that threaten the state of balance will catch their fancy and they will utilize their talent in order to get paid.
