"canon"

I'm aware the anime isn't considered canon in a lot of instances but it is the medium I am most familiar with and have the easiest access to, so I am mostly basing my characterization of Sanji on what we see in the anime. There will be spoilers, as I am following the events of the anime as closely as possible.

age: 19-21 depending on ark

Sanji was born as the fourth child and third son to the ruler of the kingdom of Germa. His father Judge Vinsmoke experimented on his children and genetically altered them in hopes of turning them into super soldiers. However, Sanji did not display any of Judge's desired attributes, causing him and the rest of his family to shun Sanji as a failure, bullying and abusing him for being 'weak'.

Sanji ran away from Germa at a young age, working as a kitchen help on a ship until 'Redleg' Zeff and his pirate crew entered it. A storm caused the ship to sink and after being saved from drowning by the pirate Sanji was left stranded on a rock in the middle of the ocean alongside Zeff with no means of escape. They spent a total of 85 days there and nearly starved to death. They survived, if barely, and Zeff took Sanji under his wing as a cook and raised him under strict rules. He became the Sous Chef of the Baratie and arguably the best cook in the East Blue. From Zeff Sanji also retained his code of honor to never raise a hand (or foot) against a woman.

After Zeff and Sanji build a new home at the Baratie, Sanji grew up in that restaurant, working there nearly every day for the next decade until one fateful day a ship with a Jolly Roger bearing a strawhat arrived, bringing with it a new chapter of his life and an opportunity to chase his dream, the All Blue.

awakened

age: 24~25-ish

self-indulgent very canon-divergent verse where Sanji is on his own, and will eventually seek to either destroy or take over Germa as a means of revenge.

Sanji still grew up at the Baratie, but never met Luffy and the others. When he came of age his biological father Judge sought him out while the Baratie was at shore, letting him know that he was to return to Germa. When Zeff and the other inhabitants of the Baratie tried to oppose them after Sanji told Judge no they were killed on the spot by Sanji's siblings.

When Zeff's liveless body hit the ground, Sanji snapped.

It turned out the genetical enhancements everyone thought had failed to take effect in him only lay dormant up to this point and at last he unshackled himself, embracing his powers, getting lost in his rage. He got the jump on one of his brothers, injuring Niji severely and surprising all of them.

In the ensuing chaos Sanji managed to flee and has been on the run ever since. His father put an official bounty on his head soon after, making it even harder for him to continue running.

Sanji is ever so slowly getting stronger, and he despises it. His bounty increases, too, not by choice, but because of the endless stream of bounty hunters his father sends after him. His last resort is to find a way to the Grand Line, hoping it would allow him to outrun his past.

verse

very self-indulgent AU of the "what if"-variety where Clive is decidedly not the hero of the story. In-universe lore may vary from plot to plot / will be adjusted to fit each individual muse, but here is the overall idea of it:

'the hunger' slowly eats away at him. he needs to kill in order to 'drink' (read: absorb) opponents' aether. He may also take in aether freely given to him, but given that he's kind of unhinged and honestly kinda mean in this verse it doesn't happen all that often.

he's drawn particularly to Dominants and to an extent also bearers for that reason, playing into the fact Dominants can apparently sense eachother.

two versions of this verse exist mostly to make interactions with other Clives possible but other muses are welcome to either version, too: a) in the normal worldstate where he is the OG Clive and b) where he is actually from a parallel universe where he has killed/drank the power of all of the Eikons there and then gave Ultima the finger only to find that he still hungers causing him to search a way to find more Eikons aka crossing over into another world

this verse's clive has killed Joshua (unless your muse is Joshua obviously) but failed to take in his powers/aether & he was never blessed by the Phoenix/ never became First Shield either

He is stuck with perpetual golden eikon eyes ever since Phoenix Gate and is easier to anger in general as Ifrit in particular is more present within him

this version of Clive will want to fight and kill any other of the Dominants eventually, but only once "they've realized their full potential" making their aether stronger, giving some wiggle room for threads and plots where he's not necessarily hostile from the get go, and gives opportunity for him to potentially getting *gasp* attached to your muse.

this Clive never got branded and never fought for the Empire. So, no mark/scar

he also never met/rescued Jill after the first timeskip and wasn't taken in by Cid, consequently doesn't know Gav, or Tarja or Mid or any of the other characters from the hideaway, though depending on whether or not he is from a parallel universe they know the original Clive and will definitely realize the resemblance easily.

if from a parallel universe, finding Joshua alive will mess him up badly
