Making me choose between bugs vs frogs is actually messed up. I think Acorn Weevils might clutch it for bugs though.

Spiders are cool as hell, it isn't their fault our brains are wired to be alarmed by many-legged things skittering
Altsoba gave his captain a look, that perfectly captured what Altsoba thought of his plan to keep a low profile. "Yeah, a pissed off, pathetic drunk, with wings and tattoos, and a perverted ninja, i'm sure they'll never notice us." Altsoba said, with intense sarcasm, before sighing, and looking at the town. "Doesn't seem especially busy though, so maybe I can make do." Altsoba turned to face Izusa, before sighing, he really didn't want to go shopping with someone as...excitable, as her.
"So yer gonna steal that ship? sounds good to me, seeing as how were boned with our current 'ship' just make sure the owners don't catch you." Altsoba said, in response to his captains interest in the Argo, before turning back to Izusa, exhaling as he removed his cigar. "Well, Pervert Ninja, guess were on supplies duty, lets try to keep the collateral damage lower than usual, because i'm way too sober to deal with beating the snot out of townsfolk."
Altsoba hopped off the mostly destroyed ship, checked to make sure that Icarus, in carpet form, was still on his back, and began to stroll into town. "At least I can still smoke.." he muttered, before taking out a new cigar, lit it, and exhaled several rings of smoke into the sky, continuing to walk, while getting a bit lost in thought. Maybe, just maybe, this'll go alright, I haven't really given the Pervert much of a chance, here's hoping she doesn't end up getting me killed, I ain't exactly happy, but I like life a lot more than death.
Altsoba frowned as his captain spoke about being forward, Altsoba had been down on Vearth for awhile, and the only difference, was the scumbags down here didn't have wings. But, Kilik was his captain, and if anyone would call Altsoba a scumbag to his face, it'd be him.
Before Altsoba could respond to his captain's comment about his Vehicle, Icarus, he heard the first mate's voice, and turned around, to see his underwear in her grasp. "Izusa you perverted witch!" Altsoba exclaimed, in a comical burst of anger, flailing his arms around, while screaming about respect, privacy, and not being a shameless pervert.
Altsoba would have continued screaming at her, but she almost fell into the ocean, and a glimmer of excitement wormed its way into Altsoba's mind, maybe this time he'd wait a bit before fishing her out, it'd serve her right, but alas, she caught herself. Altsoba turned around, grumbling, about to say something to his captain, before he heard..
"No Drinking." The words practically pierced his chest like an arrow, as he fell to his knees, and clutched his chest. "You cruel bastard, how am I supposed to deal with so many annoying civilians if i'm NOT piss drunk!?" Altsoba explained, as if this were a legitimate reason, before exhaling, and snapping his fingers. In response, Icarus let out a loud, annoying squawk, before turning into a rolled up rug, that Altsoba caught out of the air, and slipped onto his back.
"Fine, but were kind of strapped for cash, how are we gonna buy supplies, captain?" Altsoba asked, while puffing a few more smoke rings out of his mouth. "I for one, vote we steal." Altsoba exclaimed, before his captain could even give him his idea. "And were getting alcohol, even if I can't drink it there, or i'll start getting sober, and you won't like me when i'm sober." Altsoba exclaimed, before looking at the island.
Altsoba did what he did every day, lay on the ship, with a cigar in his mouth, and wonder why in the world he decided to join a pirate crew. Oh, right, it was because of the alcohol, it always is. Altsoba looked up at the sky, and found himself remembering how he joined this crew, his captain kept pestering him to join, once he saw that log pose on his arm, of course Altsoba declined, several times, but then the damn drunk lady came out, and Altsoba realized there was booze on board, and joined pretty quickly. He intended to abandon them once the booze ran dry, but he found himself growing attached to the two bastards, or as attached as Altsoba could get to people. Before he could continue remembering, his bird began to peck him.
"Screw off Icarus, I don't have any fish to feed you, I don't have anything to feed MYSELF, your food comes after mine, you know that." Altsoba slurred, swinging his hand halfheartedly around, to try and scare off the bird, it never worked, Icarus knew Altsoba longer than anyone else here, and knew that he was far too hungover to actually bother to hit him.
Altsoba was about to continue trying to get the bird off of him, but the captain muttered something under his breath. "Were you talking bad about me under your breath, captain?-" then he heard the sailors, and practically ran to the front of the ship, or stumbled, as he was rather hungover still.
"Land! finally! our supplies were running so low, I expected Icarus to eat my eyes, during the night." Altsoba mused, before Icarus landed on his shoulder, and squawked at him loudly. "Should I get the pervert? or are you gonna take one for the team for once?" Altsoba asked his captain, referring to the first mate of the crew, while exhaling several smoke rings.
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.)
"More power, eh? if you insist." Nendo crosses his arms, as the tower he stands in begins to shake, as the Golems that the Shikigami knights trampled begin to repair themselves, while other Golems lay dead. "Golem pact: Rook." The tower morphs, into a large clay beast, made out of clay bricks, it towered at twelve feet, with gorilla-like attributes. "And here's a Nendo special offer! Clay make: Hammer!" a large hammer of clay appears in the Rook's hand, as It swings it at the oncoming Shikigami knights.
