I mean, Icarus is fairly responsible, and also a bird-carpet, so uh, I mean I guess you have a bit of a point. thanks for the picture, but I don't think i'll need it, seeing as how Altsoba is a cranky bearded man now.
Well, we might have to wait till either @Ira or @Renny accept it. I'll think. Make a decision whether to start now or not.
Any idea on a currency? Was thinking snickers bars but...nah. I wanted to use a combination of Ancient Greek and Roman Currency:
(6.3 by 3.5 in) coins mad out of bronze, minted by the Roacik. I call it AMATS:
6 AM = 1 AMATS
100 AMATS = 1 AMATIS
600 AMATIS = 1 AMATISE
A worker in Amerstris could earn about two AMATS a day. Sculptors and doctors were able to make up to six AMATS daily. An unskilled worker would make around half of a AMATS for one day’s work.
Name: Altsoba, Also called: "Sourpuss" "Jackass" "Drunk Bum" and much, much more.
Appearance:
Altsoba also has tribal tattoos, covering half of torso, a cigar almost always in his mouth, lean muscle and of course, small Shandian wings on his back.
Height/Weight: 5'11, 164.
Age: 25
Personality: At first, Altsoba seems nothing more than a good for nothing grumpy bum, and he is a grumpy bum, but certainly not good for nothing, and there's more to him than just his horrible attitude. Altsoba is a very intelligent man, balancing his quick wit with sarcasm, to hurt as many people's feelings as possible, he's rude, and foul mouthed, and above all else, really lazy.
Alongside all of his flaws as a person, he's also a heavy drinker, and gambler, while his alcohol tolerance is quite high, he's a terrible gambler, and has a short temper to match, he seems to just in general, be a nasty character, however under all of that, he's a quiet, sad person, his eyes are his tell, as they make him look much older, showing sorrow, and just how tired he really is. despite being rude and sarcastic, he also cares deeply for his crew mates, even if he thinks they're far too odd for their own good, he often ends up cleaning up after them, as he tends to be the more reserved of the group, he’s also quick with a joke, and to light up a smoke.
Home Island/Sea: Grand Line, Skypiea.
History:
Altsoba originates from Skypiea, as a member of the Shandian tribe, and resident trouble maker, him alongside his group of friends, often teased, pranked, and generally just annoyed, the older Shandian, especially the warriors, as Altsoba in particular, would challenge the strongest warrior in the village daily, and get beaten senseless, each time. For years he lived peacefully, to a degree, until a new Kami was elected, unlike the old Kami, a kindhearted young man, who wasn’t the greatest ruler, but was able to make peace between Skpieans and Shandians, this new Kami was a cruel old man, who wanted to see the Shandians wiped out, as he considered their manpower a threat.
One day, when Altsoba went to challenge the leader of the Shandian warriors once again, he found the warrior, bleeding out, with the new Kami standing over him, a jagged knife in hand, in a blind rage, Altsoba charged the Kami, and was nearly killed, before the warrior saved him, by shielding Altsoba from the dagger, at the cost of his own life, Altsoba at this point was crying, tears and snot pouring down his face, as he screamed and begged for the warrior to survive, but it was in vain, the warrior’s last act before he died, was to give Altsoba a tone dial, and tell him to run.
Altsoba did as he was told, and ran as fast as he could, the Kami, oddly enough, let him go. Altsoba almost made it to the village, but before he could, the White Berets descended upon him, restraining him, before knocking him out.
Altsoba woke up three days after that, just in time, as today was the day that Altsoba would get his sentence, from the new Kami, He was brought in front of all of Skypiea, Skypieans and Shandians alike watching him, with hate in their eyes, as the Kami announced, that Altsoba stabbed the Shandian warrior to death, in some blind fantasy, that by killing him, he’d become the new greatest warrior, Altsoba was horrified, and even more horrified, that everyone believed this monster’s lies, but there was nothing he could do, he whimpered, but refused to cry, as he heard the Kami give his sentence, Cloud Drifting, a fate worse than execution.
For two years, Altsoba drifted on a cloud, barely surviving, by catching Skypiean fish, eventually, he recalled the Tone Dial, and found it, the White Berets didn’t locate it, he was lucky in that regard at least, but it was time to hear what the great Warrior died for, even if Altsoba couldn’t even remember his name anymore.
The Tone Dial contained information that Altsoba never expected to hear, the Kami, if he was even still alive, intended to leave Skypiea, after forming a crew of the most dangerous Skypieans and Shandians alive, to travel to the supposedly massive Vearth below.
Altsoba did nothing but listen to the Tone Dial, for days, but there was nothing he could do, his will had been broken during the first month on this cloud, until one day, Altsoba realized his broken will, was his greatest asset, so he did what no man who still cherished life would do, he jumped off the cloud.
It felt like a dream, like he was falling endlessly, until he saw blue, and then green, and then he just felt pain, a lot of pain. He woke up a day later, drifting in the middle of the sea, somehow alive, he eventually washed ashore, and proceeded to throw the Tone Dial, the only thing that truly connected him to the Kami's stupid plan, into the ocean, and never looked back.
Fruit: His mode of transportation, Icarus, the carpet that somehow managed to consume the Tori Tori no Mi Model: Gannet, depressingly enough, Icarus is far more competent than its owner, and has impressive control of its devil fruit, being able to summon just wings in it's carpet state, or summon just its head in the front of the carpet, like a ship's figurehead. Being a Gannet, Icarus is impressively durable, and can dive bomb at ninety miles per hour, however, Altsoba, hates this, as it reminds him of falling to Vearth, Icarus and Altsoba often get into arguments, even though Icarus cannot speak.
Fighting style: Altsoba fights by using his vast arsenal of dials, and dial weapons, using Sky Warfare, along with his self proclaimed “Ultimate Survival Tactics.” when are basically him being the biggest scumbag possible as long as him and his allies survive.
Amongst Altsoba’s dial arsenal, he has managed to create two Dial Weapons
His most often used weapon: a rifle that he reworked into a flamethrower, by using a scent dial, several breath dials, and of course, some flame dials.
His main means of defending himself at close range: a sword handle, that has several jet dials and water dials inside it, allowing it to create a Jet Stream of water, that can cut, its length is adjustable, but it does run out of charge too quick for Altsoba’s tastes.
Ship Positions: Djinn-(1)3's Navigator. (And probably life guard, because he hasn't eaten a devil fruit.)
Bounty: 0
Here is a larger pic. The bigger, the better. I personally like him also. Unfortunately Kilik is gonna ve the only responsible guy on the crew.
@Rune_Alchemist Nacho is correct, but I am also curious as to what her end goal with all of this underwear theft. I suppose we'll all find out eventually.
@LokiLeo789 Any hint on where the Djinn-13 are going to be at the time of their introduction?
...no...
Nah, gonna crash the Golden Fleeces party. Steal some of....does Blackshark even have underwear?
About the Xerxes temples: Some rovaick might sidle up and try to establish a place of worship for Toun, but be prepared for some...cultural tensions.
I'm ready. All religious forms of worship are allowed in Amerstirs as long as they ain't killing off his..."pets" without permission. I gotta look into Toun, see what they would practice there. A House is a place of worship and work and innovation. The House of Jvan of House of Life will be home to medical practitioners and their research in to both animal and human/Hain/Roavik...stuff.
Oh yeah, you don't even need to ask me about Xerxes, some stuff is definitely going to happen and Ilunabar will definitively get her worshippers. Oh it will be great, there will be waifus, and entertainment, and everything is going to be just fine. The whole crew will probably be called, the fun loving makeda, the ever so responsible chroma, meimu will be all like "winners don't do drugs"...
Sadly, I'm currently very out of creative juice. I don't know, I just can't write properly, can't get into the mood of the RP.
And of course, Illuny isn't just going to show up and throw a surprise party, there will probably be a post about them going out to buy confetti, silly hats and cake.
Hey it no problem. Although the House of fun loving makeda, the ever so responsible chroma, meimu will be all like "winners don't do drugs, is abit long no? When I get this nation building down, I'll be sure too add a House dedecated to Ilunabar. And they eill practice...stuff.
Speaking of, if Xerxes is really that far from the Rovaick Mountains there wouldn't be a council nearby. A few goblins sure, maybe a troll, but nothing like a Council to be manipulated.
Never been given an exact location, but all his manipulation was done in the mountians, not in the Sands. Tis why he traveled around to find his special councilmen.
Welcome my fellow gods and demi-gods to ma ville étonnante of Xerxes, where all gods are worshiped. All gods are welcome to decout thier pyramids of whorship, that will also be places of practice! Wow! Great! Cool!
Don't think I'm leaving you demigod's out to. If your patron parent has blessed his temple, you are automatically givin a citizenship and allowed to stay at the temple penthouse! Wow! Cool! Great!
Comming Soon! (After I get a nation building post out)
@BBeast Would Tenkall be willing to help Amartía with his economic and military building? Mostly in the forging business. Also, needs help with a bow. And building a House of Tenkall.
