Kooto Kooto no Mi (The Coat-Coat Fruit) - The user touches a nonliving surface and is able to coat themselves and/or other objects or people that they simultaneously touch in a material identical to the nonliving surface. Obviously, would not work with seastone. For example, a wooden ship allows the user to coat himself in wood. But touching the bark of a tree would not work, as that wood is still technically alive. Works only with solid materials and nothing loose/shifty (like sand) or any liquids.
Agreed. It's a good Paramecia fruit. It has it's up and down sides, and things can actually penetrate and hurt the user some times depending on the surface. Sounds good to me too.
Which is unlike Logia devil fruits, that can only be harmed with Haki.
I'm at work now, and have no idea how to copy and paste on the cell so puuting my cs in the character section is going to have to wait till I get home :(
While I may be too late at this point here is my CS anyway.
Name: Zygard Celtus
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Personality:
Zygard is a man of the world and very down-to-earth. Having grown up with a very rough childhood Zygard quickly learned what it meant to survive and how to lookout for oneself. He can very a very sarcastic individual and is not afraid of being rude or callus, so he can rub people the wrong way fairly easily. Despite these character flaws, and at times selfish attitude, he will also fiercely defend his crewmates with all his ferocity when they are threatened by others.
Zygard also possesses a very strong will and is actually quite clever. He has a strong resolve to keep bettering himself in combat and learning, so he will often try something new if he thinks it would be beneficial to himself or the crew. Zygard is also willing to go to great lengths and take serious chances if he believes the result to be worth it.
Devil Fruit/ Weapon of expertise:
Zygard’s choice of weapon is a twin Chain-Scythe. The Scythe blades are black with a dark blue triangle pattern across the edged-side of the blades. The blades are long and curved on their ‘business’ ends with short spike-like edges on the opposite side making both sides quite dangerous. The handles are made of essentially dark brown ironwood, polished to perfection with some of the traditional ‘imperfections’ and patterns that wood based pieces have. A dark blue chain connects the twin scythe at the ends of the handles, making the weapon not only a deadly pseudo-projectile but also a potential grappling hook among other uses.
Accepted by me as well!
All those who have been accepted by us: zellected , malmshodes and IceHeart, please post your characters in the 'characters' tab :P
@Jensoman Aye, Aye ~ I know that Spiderman thingy is a no-no, that's why I don't include it ^^. Anyway, thanks for the information ~ I will state in the techniques that I can't cut several things including Seastone. And the max range is included. ^^
Lenwood is a man whose been instilled with values. He is someone who believes strongly in being able to forge his own path by his own two hands, not by other people's hands. He's not opposed to fighting to protect his beliefs. Even if he looses. He's never set in his ways though he is constantly adapting to the world around him letting the way of the world help shape, define and re-define him. But his core beliefs never change. Fight for what you believe in, think with your head not your heart, if it's something that burns strongly within follow it. And help out those in need.
Lenwood's reaction to people is initially friendly, however if they prove that they are against him or act to hurt someone without any provocation then he grows to dislike them or maybe turn into hate. He is a charismatic person, he could persuade someone to do something for him but in a certain boundary. His ambitions lead him to a great path, the path shows the true side of him. He often respects his opponents in competition, humiliating them on competitions or fights isn't his style. If he wants respect from others including his opponents, he should give some too.
He has two major quirks to his personality, one being that be believes that the strongest beliefs always win. Regardless of the medium through which they are conveyed be it words or fists. The second quirk is a simple one. Living for yourself is the same as living for nothing. Live for others, don't only focus on yourself and you will unlock the true meaning of life.
Devil Fruit/ Weapon of expertise: Ito Ito no Mi. This fruit allows Lenwood to generate strings or threads from his body and able to manipulate it. The special thing about this, is the string, the string is sharp like a razor and also, possess enormous durability. The strings are attachable to most surfaces except things in liquid form. Lenwood is still affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses as well as several other weaknesses such as it is incapable of cutting through seastone, liquid form, several armors and weapons, Haki, and the strings will disappear if Lenwood lose his consciousness.
Ito Ito no Two: Lenwood generates two strings from his finger, from his thumb and index finger. This is use to pull one enemy in case the enemy is fleeing or to drag someone by either targeting their limbs such as hands and legs or neck. It has a max range of 10m.
Ito Ito no Five: Stronger version of Ito Ito no Two. Offensive. Lenwood generates five strings from his fingers. These strings are used to slash his opponents. It is capable to cut stones and woods, some metals except thick armors including diamond and not seastones. The attack range can go up to 15m.
Ito Ito no Wall: Defensive. All Lenwood's fingers generate strings, meaning a total of 10 strings. These strings are used for defensive methods against anything including heavy projectiles, stones, wood, and some metals except thick armors like diamonds and durable weapons including seastones. Obviously, opponents who attack with blunt forces such as fist won't be able to get through this string. Instead, their arms will suffer from severe cuts.
Ito Ito no Iron Leg: Point-blank range or Close Combat. Lenwood creates a string from the heel of his foot and attaches the other end to his leg. Lenwood then attacks his opponent with his foot, inflicting severe cuts to the opponents. Still, it isn't capable of cutting through some metals like thick armors like diamond, durable weapons including seastones.
Alright, that seems a lot better to me.
I approve of this character now, if you get Tex's confirmation you're good to go!
I can 'blank out' powers that she wont have access too yet if you want.
Name: Light
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Appearance(Can be filled in with a small paragraph of info, or a link/image.): Light is a 1.9 meter tall pure white Angelfish/Axolotl fishwoman with cartoonish looking features. Her head is a large spherical shape with no nose, very large black and orange eyes, sharp teeth, short blue hair, fin like ears, and a very very skinny neck. She has a noticeable hourglass shape to her with skinny biceps with large forearms and hands with sharp fingers. She wears a white dress with blue trim and a blue tanktop, the dress having an 'M' cut pattern in the front to reveal her legs, which look normal besides the bottom leg ending at a sharp point where her foot should've been.
Personality: Light is intelligent, fun loving, and laid back. She is more likely to try to make friends with people than she is to fight them, which makes her come off as lazy at times. This makes it fairly easy for her to be caught in traps as she isn't careful, fully aware of her powers. When she wants to fight, she will play with her opponent than fight them most of the time. If she is forced to fight though she will show some great competence and tactical thinking, but will still usually play with her opponents, and if she gets mad... "Your Gonna have a Bad Time."
Devil Fruit: ACME ACME Fruit
Toonforce
Cartoon Regeneration: Light can regenerate from nearly any injury, including psionic and supernatural injuries, although supernatural injuries take a variable amount of time to regenerate from. When Light regenerates, she 'pops' back to normal, or normal with bandages or other things showing where she was injured last. Light has individual control over limbs if she is dismembered. Light still feels pain from any injury she is hit by.
Cartoon Physics: Physics affect Light differently than normal, with both good and bad effects.
Light's body 'stretches' when she experiences moments of rapid acceleration.
If Light walks off a high point, such as a cliff, but is unaware that she is walking off of an edge, she will continue to walk on air as if it was ground. When she realizes she is no longer on solid ground, she will fall like normal.
While falling, Light can stop when approaching the ground to readjust where she will land, before continuing to fall at the rate she was falling before she stopped.
Injuries affect her differently than normal. For example, being caught up in an explosive causes her to appear ash covered before possibly breaking apart into a pile of ash, or being crushed causing her to become a pancake, ext...
Light can't bleed.
If Light is hit by a sharp object or a hot object on her backside, she'll be propelled away from the object, usually on fire if it was a hot object.
Weapons used by Light have different physics as well, but for the most part these new physics make the weapons worse overall. Bombs meanwhile only have a massive reduction in blast radius, but are still as powerful as ever.
Light has trouble dealing with being tied up, as for some reason her super strength does not work when she is bound. And if her hands are bound, she can't use Pocket Space or Portable Hole.
For some reason, her eyeballs are far, far more durable than the rest of her body.
Among other nuances I might have forgotten.
Super Strength: Light exhibits a variable amount of Super Strength. While its been shown she can pick up a house without any encumbrance, the exact limits of her strength aren't known. It has been shown though that if she is picking up an extremely heavy object and is reminded of how heavy said object actually is, or is enlightened to how heavy it actually is, she'll drop it. This effect carries over to enchanted weapons as well, IE, she can pick up objects that others normally can't if she is unaware that she is allowed to pick them up, and the object will affect her like normal when this is pointed out and shown.
Pocket Space: Light can pull objects out of a space inside her dress called Pocket Space. These objects are random in nature, although very obscure context sensitive items are likely. Weapons are rare. Light can only pull a few objects every couple of minutes. The cooldown on this ability is reduced if Light picks up the items she pulled out and puts them back. Light can also store 'real' objects in this pocket space equal to twice her mass at the time of storing, and objects can't exceed more than 4x her mass in total while stored in this space, although if she grows and thus has more mass and stores objects, then shrinks, she can go over her 4x mass cap.
Portable Hole: Light can pull a malleable black circle looking wormhole from her pocket space. Upon placing and jumping into it, Light will pop out of a newly created hole that was in her line of sight. Light can place the holes anywhere, but the exit hole has to be on a solid surface or there will be a delay before Light exits it, giving the opponent a good amount of time to react. Only Light can go through these holes.
Reality Shift: Light's toon powers do not agree with the confines of normal reality, thus whatever she touches is unable to generate energy and begins to lose its 'reality' over time. After awhile they'll become a cartoon themselves, and further beyond that, they will disappear from reality altogether. (Takes weeks for the reality disappearance.) When she lets go of an object, the object will regain its reality at an exceptional rate. Light can only affect things twice to equal of her mass in a reasonable timeframe, and non living objects 'convert' much faster than living ones. This power is always on and Light can't control its intensity.
"You're Gonna Have a Bad Time.": Light actively warns people using this line if they start to really make her mad, with accompanying ominous toon physics. Continuing to make her even more mad means that Light will eventually start to fight with extreme levels of tactical thinking and fighting prowess, while not being above using cheap or unfair tactics and will actively attempt to use such tactics if they are the most effective on hand, with very little goofing off. This way of fighting often quickly leads to the death of her opponent. You can tell when she is giving someone a bad time, as she will put on sunglasses beforehand.
Those are some pretty...umm unusual powers.
I can't say I really like this character. High speed regeneration, teleporting ability, super strength, being able to pull out random objects...
Even though this character doesn't seem to have many offensive abilities, it still seems very over powered to me.

Wow cool, Doffy's devil fruit!
Okay, well. The abilities you stated are fine, but there's a few things I'd like to mention.
For one, Doflamingo could attach his strings to clouds and pretty much use them to 'hang' in the sky and move around rapidly, making it look like he's actually flying. I know you never mentioned this ability, but if choose to do that at one point... I won't allow that.
You'd also need to be a bit weaker then Doflamingo himself. Cutting through stone is fine. You can cut through some metals, but there may be some weapons and armour that will be made out of tough materials that you will be unable to cut through. Which won't nessecarily have to be Haki or Sea Stone.
I'd also want to know the max range that these strings have, how far the slashing attacks can go.
WIP I'll finish it up after I pick up my baby(dog) from surgery
Name: Abigail L.(Lillian) Natas
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Personality: Abigail is extremely stubborn, and hates when people tell her what she can or cannot do. Unless she's close to someone she comes off as cold or aloof, but when she truly cares she'll put herself in harm's way to protect others at a moment's notice. Due to a sheltered upbringing she has trouble relating to others, and opening up has always been a problem. Also thanks to her younger days she's relatively ignorant of the world and wants to see everything that was denied to her when was younger. She's crazy over women with long raven wing hair, and has no idea how to talk with them.
Devil Fruit:
Strengths-The Dendo-Dendo(Zap-Zap) Fruit Gives the user the ability to generate and fire red electricity from their body as well as manipulate all electrical fields, and electromagnetism from the surrounding area.
Weaknesses- *The Dendo-Dendo Devil fruit is affected by standard Devil Fruit Weaknesses. *Since the Devil Fruit's power is mainly electricity, it is powerless against insulators like glass, plastic, rubber, and wood. *Due to the complexity of her devil fruit Abigail's control over her power is minimal and so far she's only capable of manipulating the electrical energy her body produces. Techniques- Dendo-Dendo Snake Abigail holds up her left hand and lets lose a blast of electricity. Dendo-Dendo Python Abigail puts two hands together and lets loose a massive blast of electricity. It's several times more powerful than the Dendo-Dendo Snake, and drains her after use. Dendo-Dendo Rattle Snake Abigail infuses something she's touching with electrical energy which causes bodily harm on contact. She usually uses this ability with her sword. Dendo-Dendo Porcupine Abigail releases a burst of electricity that shoots out from all over her body with sparks travelling up to a foot away.
That looks a lot better :P You've got my approval. If you get Tex's permission as well, you'll be good to go.
Heh. Alright, well I'll go ahead and do that. And of course, feel free to refuse it if you don't think it's enough. I certainly won't take any offense since I understand where you're coming from~ But for now, I'll assume that you don't want that. xD So I'll start figuring out which other fruit to use.
For now, here's what I got:
Roughly a decade prior to the modern day, a Tenryuubito, World Noble family had taken a cruise departing from Mariejois. As one would expect from this family, they cared very little for other passengers, who waited on them hand and foot. One or two of the staff may have even been shot and killed while on the cruise. In this World Noble family, there were two parents as well as one young boy at the age of 8 named Ryu Saitou. Much like his parents and most other Tenryuubito children, he was just as nasty and told his parents to kill any person who slighted or failed to cater to his every ridiculous whim.
However, a few days into the cruise, the ship met a very dangerous storm in the Grand Line. Thunder roared and the sea was rough. Under normal circumstances, however the ship would have been fine if it weren't for one major setback. Early in the storm, they struck a coral reef, breaking their rudder. Without the rudder, the ship was impossible to steer and none of the Marines on board were capable of altering its course. On top of this, the Noble family continued to bark ridiculous demands for their own safety, and eventually the ship was thrown by powerful waves against the rocks, destroying it and seemingly every passenger on board.
However, the boy, Ryu, awoke to find himself in a strange new cavern on an island in the middle of the Calm Belt, his helmet having been removed or destroyed at some point. When he realized that he was all alone, with no servants to do his work for him, he began to finally explore for himself. He went straight for the mouth of the cave and discovered that he was on a cliffside, with a large rocky outcropping overlooking a valley. He turned his gaze upward...and discovered something that nobody would have ever expected to see. In the skies above him, a few large, winged creatures were flying about. He had actually found himself on an unknown, island of dragons!
After a short while, a red-scaled dragon that appeared older than the others soon descended to his landing and approached the boy. Needless to say, the boy was terrified, but had no way to defend himself. However, a voice soon sounded in his mind...the dragon had begun to speak with him via telepathy. The red dragon was an elder among the tribal island of dragons, an island that very few humans have ever treaded due to it being in an otherwise-empty part of the Calm Belt. And any humans that do find their way to the island by boat are usually killed to protect their society. After all, humans were notorious for murder for the sake of sport. However, a lone dragon had found Ryu adrift on the edge of the Calm Belt on a routine hunt for food. Taking pity on the lone human child, the dragon brought him to the island for the elder to decide his fate. And that was where he found himself now.
The elder dragon, who called himself To'Ren, claimed to sense something special about the boy and permitted him to live. However, he was not to ever leave the island. At first, the boy was furious and protested even to To'Ren's face, insisting that they return him to his homeland and back to his servants on Mariejois where he could continue his life of luxury. The dragon refused, repeating that this is the only way he could let him live.
Ryu, very upset at the dragons, ran away into the cavern, eventually discovering another exit near the bottom of the cliff on the island's opposite side. The dragons moved to go after him, but the elder dragon stopped them, telling them that things would be fine. Ryu, meanwhile, began to cry, for the first time in his entire life...at least as far as he could remember. He let everything out that he could for hours, throwing fits, throwing stones and sticks and kicking trees, all while tears streamed and his voice screamed at the world for doing this to him.
Eventually, he drained himself of energy and his voice grew too hoarse to continue his screams. And so, he finally allowed himself to fall to the ground and cry himself to sleep, all alone in a dark forest.
The next day, he returned to the elder dragon's cave and spoke with him once again, begrudgingly admitting his loneliness. He had never felt like this before; nobody had ever not tended to him or even denied him anything. His entire life, he had had company...but now, it had simply dawned on him that he no longer had anything. The elder dragon, relieved that the boy had returned safely, the dragon attempted to console the boy, and told him that even if he could return to Mariejois, there would be nothing for him. Those humans would never allow him back once he had been tainted by the outside world.
Ryu began to cry once more, but the elder dragon nudged him and told him that he wanted to show the boy something. He urged the boy to climb aboard his back, and they soon took off into the sky. They arrived at the center of the island and the boy was met by a wondrous sight. A huge tree sat in the middle of the island, giving life to the rest of the island. But what attracted his attention were the six fruits attached to the tree's trunk. Each fruit looked identical except for the color. The dragon then explained to him that this was their Great Tree, which he claimed was called Yggdrasil when the dragons first settled the island. The tree has provided life for the entire island for centuries and they believe it has protected them from invaders. The ground where they stand is considered holy to the dragons and a human has never been shown this sight before. The tree's life is prolonged by the six mythical fruit that remain attached to its trunk.
The dragons have done their research and concluded that these fruits were all deemed "Devil's Fruits" by the human race, judging by their appearances. The dragon claimed that this island has no actual connection to the history of the Devil's Fruits, but that these fruits were implanted into the tree at some point in the island's history before the dragons ever settled. Nobody knows what these fruits would do and nobody dared to touch one, for fear that the tree's protection will falter if even one is removed.
The boy stood in the spot, in awe at the tree before him. Once he was done, however, the elder dragon urged him onto his back and the two returned to their cave. From that day onward, the boy lived with the elder dragon, learning of their culture, and learning how to fend for himself and how to fight. Perhaps most importantly, over the years, he wound up adopting the dragon's ideal of respecting life. The dragon even went so far as to teach him surprising amounts of medical knowledge. In time, he grew to appreciate the elder dragon like a father, realizing that this dragon was a better parental figure than either of his blood parents had been. That said, he still could not help but miss them. Family is still family.
Ten years following his arrival on the island, however, everything changed. Marine technology improved drastically and their island was discovered. A lone ship was sent to investigate...a Marine ship belonging to an Admiral of the Navy, who was accompanied by one of the Shichibukai and a sizable force of Marines. The two were more than capable of defeating any dragons that came their way...and their crew were able to drop anchor right off shore. The Admiral's invasion of the island continued, as he defeated each dragon that tried to stop him, not even stopping himself from killing many. Eventually, the two fought their way to the center of the island and discovered Yggdrasil...as well as the six Devil's fruits attached to it.
All this time, dragon warriors were telling the elder to stay hidden with the human, now becoming an adult. However, once the Great Tree had been discovered, the elder could no longer sit back. he instructed Ryu to stay where he was, not wanting him to be taken by the humans. Once he had received Ryu's promise, the elder took flight and stood between the tree and the Marines, who began demanding the Devil's Fruits. They even attempted to barter with the dragon elder, claiming that if these "sacred" fruits could be handed over, then no more dragons would have to be killed. They claimed that their official Marine researcher wanted them for their studies. The elder refused, knowing fully well that every dragon on the island would rather die than hand over such a sacred item and hurt their tree.
The Admiral, disappointed in the dragon's choice, turned to his Warlord subordinate and instructed him to destroy the tree. The elder dragon fought back, but soon discovered that just the Shichibukai alone was outmatching him. And so, he could not stop the tree's destruction. Both he and Ryu, who had left the cavern and was viewing from a safe distance, watched in horror as the tree began to topple over. But the elder still refused to surrender the fruits. Instead, he snatched the fruits from the tree, and took off. He knew that it was too late to save their precious tree, but the fruits were still able to be protected. He was just barely able to escape the onslaught of attacks from the Admiral and Warlord.
Five other dragons gathered together with the elder, meeting at the elder's cave. They knew that they could not protect the fruits together, and that their home was also destined to fall. So they decided to instead separate the fruits and go their separate ways. The five dragons each took a fruit and began to leave. At this point, Ryu had returned to the cave, much to the elder's relief. The elder urged the boy to get on so that they could fly away together with the remaining red fruit. Before he could do so, however, the Shichibukai showed up at the entrance to their cavern, discovering the dragon, the fruit...and the boy.
To'Ren knew at that moment that there would be no escape for him. But the young man was a different story. Cornered, he immediately gave the fruit to the boy and told him to escape. However, at the moment that the fruit was transferred to the boy...the Warlord changed his focus and began attempting to kill the boy. To'Ren, however, used his body like a shield and protected Ryu from harm, urging him to flee.
But Ryu could not bring himself to run, not as long as To'Ren would die for it. And he knew that as long as the fruit existed, the Warlord would try to kill them both. However, he also could not hand the fruit over, since so many dragons had given their lives to protect it. So, he did the only thing he could think to do.
He ate the fruit.
Once the fruit was gone, he urged the Shichibukai to take him instead and leave To'Ren alive. The Warlord hesitated, but ultimately was not forced to make a decision. A blast came from behind them, striking a fatal blow to the large dragon. To'Ren had been killed. Then, before Ryu could even think about crying out in shock, he was knocked out by the Admiral.
When he awoke, he found himself in Marine custody on some kind of ship, but the Admiral was nowhere to be seen. He soon learned that he was being held on the Shichibukai's ship, heading for a lab where his Devil's Fruit power could be studied. He was locked in by seastone shackles, unable to use his powers, or even learn what they were. However, he knew that he had to escape somehow. He had eaten one of those six sacred Devil's Fruits. He couldn't be used in the schemes of the very people that had invaded and destroyed his way of life.
One night, he found his chance. A key, conveniently and carelessly left behind by some unknown resident of the ship rested just out of his reach. However, with a great deal of strain and effort, he was able to use his surroundings and pull the key closer to himself and grab hold. With the key in hand, he unlocked his shackles and made his escape and began making his way to the island where they were currently docked.
On he ducked out of sight and made his way off of the ship, he realized something. He had a strange feeling that he was being watched. He turned his attention back to the ship, but could see nobody. Knowing he had no time to think about it, he fled, and boarded one of many cargo ships leaving the island that day. But ever since he left, he couldn't help but shake the feeling that something was wrong. And that convenient key continued to bother him. He had a very hard time believing that anybody could be that stupid.
So then...how DID that key end up there? Were the Marines now looking for him? And what about those other dragons that had fled with the other fruits? Well, these were all things he would have to figure out in time. For now, though, it was obvious what he had to do. He needed a safe place to lay low for a while...and what better place than in the crew of a pirate ship? They were professionals when I came to evading the marines, after all.
On top of that, he began working with his fruit, figuring out what to do with it and how it worked...all while preparing to search for a pirate crew that would take him. But that was not the end of it. He also hoped that he could keep his Devil's Fruit power a secret for as long as possible. After all...he never knew who he could trust out here in this sea. Any pirate could sell him out to the Marines if it meant a pardon or money. He would have to pick a crew to join very carefully.
In short, he would discover this crew not long after he leaves the cargo ship. He would know almost nothing about his fruit except its most basic use: transforming between human form, dragon form, and a dragon-man hybrid form. However, he also discovered that his wings are incapable of keeping him airborne...or there is a trick to it that he may never figure out without the help of a dragon. Even in full dragon form, he cannot fly, let alone carry anybody or anything. Perhaps he can learn in the future, but definitely not now.
Here's his CS if you deem this to be okay with you:
Name: Ryu Saitou
Age: 18, almost 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: Ryu wears a set of clothing that he stole from the town he escaped in.
Personality: Ryu is a rather reserved individual. He keeps mostly to himself, preferring to spend his downtime reading and learning as much as he can about humans, since he had been away from human civilization for ten whole years. As such, he has developed a fondness for reading and learning new things. He almost always has a book on him that he can read through when he has down time. However, he is still more than willing to cooperate and communicate effectively with crewmates. However, he does still try to keep his past and powers secret. He is most afraid of somebody finding out that he's in possession of a sacred dragon fruit that the Marines would pay high-dollar for and that he would be immediately detained and handed over again. He also fears what will happen if people discover that he is from a World Noble family, as he has discovered what the outside world thinks of the Tenryuubito.
Due to his upbringing during those critical stages of development, he has discovered a very strong moral compass and appreciation for life. He does not enjoy seeing lives end, no matter how insignificant it may seem. In his mind, there are only two times when it is okay to kill another life form: for sustenance or to protect other life. He has also decided that, if he is going to live with humans again, he will do it saving life if he can do so. He was raised to respect life and was taught medical knowledge by the one who raised him. And he has decided that he will NOT let that go to waste.
Devil Fruit: Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Fire (Draco-Draco Fruit)
Ryu is a Dragon Human, wielder of the Fire Dragon Fruit, one of six Dragon Fruits in the world. However, it is very untrained. He currently only possesses a handful of abilities:
He can transform into the three basic Zoan-type forms: Human, Dragon, and Dragon Man hybrid.
In both his Hybrid and full dragon forms, his scales act as a sort of natural body armor. They do not slow him down, but protect him slightly from damage, with the exception of the softer scales that stretch from his jaw and down his underbelly/stomach and to the tip of his tail. These provide no more protection for his body than human clothing.
He has developed the ability to transform any part of his body into full dragon form that he wants. However, only one small part of his body can be transformed at any one time, and it requires effort to maintain that transformation for any extended periods of time. For example, he can turn a hand into a claw or his back into dragon wings, but not both at the same time.
Most notably, however, there are two major aspects of dragons that he has been unable to figure out up to this point:
The ability to fly. Whether it's a limitation of the Devil's Fruit itself or there is something that Ryu just isn't understanding about dragon wings, he is incapable of using those wings to fly. Even in his full dragon form, he is unable to keep himself in the air, let alone carry anything in that form. He will likely only be able to attain this ability if he can ever find another sentient dragon willing to teach him how.
The ability to breathe fire. One of the most well-known of dragon abilities, fire breathing, is impossible for him at this point in time. He knows from his days spent on the Island of Dragons that Fire Dragons are able to breathe a more powerful flame than any other dragon type. However, he cannot as of yet even breath a puff of smoke. He knows, though, that hatchlings cannot breathe flames either, so he figures that this ability may simply come to him in time.
It is also worth noting that his pure dragon form is where he can exert the most physical strength, but his hybrid form has the greatest speed.
Would this work for you guys? If not, it's no big deal, I can find another character to use. But he's a Zoan-type and would work as the ship's doctor, which I feel might be very important to have. xD And he's the only character I have ready that would want to be one. Plus, his backstory would give him so much room for growth, experimentation, and a character arc if desired. So I figured I should run it by you guys anyway, in the hopes that it's good enough.
Also, I'll try to have references up for his dragon and hybrid forms if he's approval-worthy.
But again, if not, no worries. I'll just use it all for another time~ =3
The main issue I have with this, is that Mythical Zoan type fruits are extremely rare. As you yourself stated, they're also OP compared to Marco's and Marco's ability had high speed regeneration- Until the seastone cuffs completely negated his powers.
The fact that he can't fly yet is fair, so no issue there. He may learn flight way later on, but I'm not sure about that one yet.
I'm assuming that he won't be capable to high speed heal his wounds like Marco's. If you make sure the fruit doesn't end up being overpowered compared to the rest of the crew, I'd consider allowing it, despite the specific devil fruit type being extremely rare.
Do keep in mind that this is before anyone has Haki capabilities. You'd be as strong as Luffy/Zoro/Sanji before time skip by default.
I'll discuss this with Tex later, I gotta go work now :P
Actually it seems I'm gonna have drop it, sorry for wasting your time. Reason being I've gotta make a new warrior cats rp and I've got 2 others sorry once again
