One Piece: New Horizons!

@ProPro
Those "put this in your post" bits always strike me as a pointless technicality that's easy to forget in the middle of making a character.

One Piece: New Horizons!

Horse

HORSE

Basics

Name: Horse
Epithet: Weakest Of The Four Kings
Race: Greater Ridgebacked Sea Horse
Age: 8
Gender: Aggressively Male
Appearance: Fundamentally, Horse resembles an large fish with the legs and undercarriage of a horse welded haphazardly onto it's underside. However, this description fails to capture the RAW ANIMAL MAJESTY that is Horse's existence. If Horse were a person, he'd be, like, some super ripped hot guy with long flowing hair, a flawless tan, and his shirt would be unbuttoned to halfway down his chest at all times and probably also he would be called Fabio.
Position: Pack Animal/Quartermaster/Archeologist/Gunner
Bounty: 0
Jolly Roger: A self-portrait bust of Horse's perfect visage.

Background

Ambition: To find a mate
Likes:

• Sweet Food
• Savory Food
• Salty Food
• Spicy Food
• Sour Food
• Anything That Looks Even Vaguely Edible
• Classical Literature

Dislikes:

• Land Horses
• Other, Lesser Species Of Sea Horse
• Onions
• Being Ridden
• Freshwater Lakes
• Loud People
• Quiet People
• People In General
• Mirrors
• Anything That Makes Eye Contact For More Than Six Seconds At A Time

Quirks: Horse is, as far as anyone knows, the only specimen of it's species still in existence. Thus, it can only be taken as a paragon of it's species and all behaviors it exhibits totally natural. He is also an avid mahjong player for unknown reasons.

Personality: Horse is the ultimate alpha male, a creature composed entirely of testosterone and raw, nonstop aggression. Though it understands the languages of both humans and fishmen, he pays no heed to the petty laws of these lesser creatures. Horse believes, nay, it knows that it is exemplar of all beasts, that which is first under earth and heaven. Horse, however, understands that such a perfect creature must obviously help those lesser than itself, so that they may better understand it's brilliance and in doing so better themselves.

History: Gaze upon this most perfect of God's creatures and weep, for he is the last of his kind upon the Four Blues. These brilliant, noble creatures were hunted to the brink of extinction for their mouth-wateringly delicious flesh and use as novelty sleeping bags. Driven from their ancestral spawning grounds, they formed a great school and traveled across the oceans in search of a new home. Without a true home, however, their numbers slowly dwindled away, falling prey to massed attacks by lesser wildlife such as dolphins and hippos. Things were looking bleak for these shining exemplars of fish- and horse-hood.

Then, one day, a great storm like none had ever seen before formed over the West Blue, leveling entire islands in it's wake. Great currents came and went like the wind, and none were safe from the sea's wrathful embrace. Young Horse was one of the lucky ones, taking cover in a convenient shoal until the storm passed. When he awoke the next day to find himself the sole survivor, all his kinsmen either dead or vanished along with the storm. Horse searched the Four Blues high and low for his kind, and after three years he could only come to one conclusion: His kind were either extinct, or had been flung gracelessly into the depths of the Grand Line itself. No matter how strong he was, none could break through the Calm Belt alone, not even a creature as noble and pure as himself. Thus, it stood to reason that he must grace a crew of lesser creatures with his presence, and thus obtain passage into the Grand Line.

Combat Specialties

Skills and Abilities: The Sea Horse has the notable ability to swallow just about anything it can fit inside it's mouth, then spit it up later in perfect condition. Uniquely, and possibly because they are the largest known Sea Horses, there does not seem to be any noted limit to the total capacity of a Greater Ridgeback Sea Horse's stomach, either in mass or volume. Sea Horses are also amphibious, and possess powerful legs and tails. Horse also has the inexplicable ability to do chores but only when nobody is looking. Horse does not speak vocally, but communicates with lesser creatures using his raw animal charisma and complex body language.
Devil Fruit: N/A
Haki: N/A
Gear: Whatever Horse can fit in it's mouth
Fighting Style: Horse fights primarily with kicks, tail slaps, trampling, and projectile vomiting.
Techniques:
Iipeikou: Horse vomits forth a coherent beam of seawater that propels people and objects away with great force.
Ippatsu: Horse spits a stinging, burning substance into his opponent's eyes to blind and distract them. This is usually followed up by repeated hoof blows to the face and/or ribs.
Houtei Raoyui: Horse simply swallows an opponent whole. Nobody can ever completely remember what a Sea Horse looks like on the inside, but it's apparently quite traumatizing.

I've no idea why we're doing this but alright.

Li Ju

Li Ju

Character Summary

Name: Mrs. Li
Age: Middle Aged
Race: Chinese Mantis
Gender: Female
Class/Job: Widow

Belongings

• The full estates and manor of her late husband, Mr. Li Chen, and all associated enterprises
• Li Chen's journal of alchemical formulae, kept on her person at all times
• A sample kit of her late husband's more popular wares

Skills and Abilities

• Mrs. Li is a capable housewife and highborn lady in all respects, from entertaining company to cleaning up when said entertaining goes horribly, inevitably wrong.
• Mrs. Li is possessed of all the abilities common to her kind- flight, camouflage, razor-sharp sickle arms, the ability to rotate her head 180 degrees, etc.
• Though considered a clumsy and an untalented fighter for her kind, the aftereffects of her husband's alchemical experimentation has gifted Mrs. Li with prodigious- some would even say freakish- size, strength, and appetite. She has also developed a tendency to spit corrosive acid when under duress, a fact which she finds extremely embarrassing.
• Mrs. Li is possessed of some minimal knowledge of alchemy due to her upbringing, though she still can't make heads or tails of her husband's more complex formulae. Li Ju's real talent lies with her deceptively sharp business acumen and experience in dealing with the noble houses.
• Mrs. Li knows her manor and the surrounding lands like the back of her claw, along with all it's myriad secret rooms and passages.

^{"It gets so lonely at night, up here in the manor..."}

Personality

Mrs. Ju was often noted for being a perfect match with her late husband up until his death: Remarkably well-mannered, exceedingly helpful, and monstrously absentminded. Following the death of her husband, Mrs. Li attempts to ward off loneliness with company, inviting all manner and class of arthropod into her manor for lunch. Unusually for a mantis, Li Ju prefers not to dirty her hands, considering violence boorish and unbecoming of a lady.

History

Li Ju (Originally Tang Ju) hails from the noble house of Tenodera. The 14th daughter of her brood, she likely would have languished her whole life as a minor court official had she not been the nymph-hood sweetheart (and occasional test subject) of the renowned alchemist Li Chen. Chosen as the famously-chaste apothecary's mate only a week or so into full adulthood, what followed was a whirlwind romance filled with passion, excitement, and highly unethical mantid experimentation.

All dreams, however, must come to an end, and so too did Mrs. Li's husband. He was found messily decapitated in his study one summer night, the remains of his head having vanished without a trace. The door, though locked, showed no signs of forced entry, and the only other person with a key had been Mrs. Li herself- who confirmed that none could have possibly entered her husband's study without her knowledge, due to the layout of the manor. In absence of any clue to the murderer's identity, it was deemed a freak accident; the case remains unsolved to this day.

Mrs. Li was, of course, inconsolable over the entire matter. To cope with her grief, she threw herself into work, seizing full control over her husband's estates to protect them from the notoriously-ruthless noble houses. In doing so, the late Mr. Li's business enterprises have seen a remarkable rise in profits. Surprising, to be sure, considering the poor woman's reputation for absentmindedness.

Kamen Rider Chronicle: Hero Rally Remastered

Yeah. It felt like the most appropriate way to introduce a salaryman character.

Kamen Rider Chronicle: Hero Rally Remastered

Takahiro Matsuoka

Name: Takahiro Matsuoka
Rider Name: Kamen Rider Salesman
Age: 43
Sex: M
Starting Gashat: Taddle Quest
Skills and Abilities: 43 years life experience, an iron liver, and a mean baseball swing
Additional Gashats: Famista

Appearance:

Personality: A bitter middle-aged man looking for some excitement; weak to pressure.
Background: Takahiro used to have hopes and dreams, but then he got married and entered the workforce and they were crushed into a billion tiny pieces. He leads your basic salaryman lifestyle: Overworked, ill-appreciated, and severely lacking in aventure. One day, on the way home from a long day of soul-crushing office work, he ended up being harassed by a mysterious overweight man talking about how he would "fill the hole in his heart". He took the guy's business card in hopes that he would go away, and the next morning awoke to find a copy of Kamen Rider Chronicle in his mailbox. Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Takahiro figured he may as well give it a go.

As a side note, is Famista Gamer an acceptable level 3, since Dan used the Namco gashats when making Chronicle?

Entomos; Kingdom of Insects [FULL FOR NOW]

I decided to follow up on one of the plot hooks in the OP with my character. This game looks like it'll have a good population.

Put me in coach.

The Dirt Town Orphans - animeish, high fantasy gang RP [Always accepting]

No, see, you're misunderstanding. The issue isn't time or anything like that.
What I'm asking is: Will this NPC interact with Argo if Argo interacts with him? Previously, rather than getting an interaction with Mary (or anyone else), Argo was ignored and hit with a timeskip, instead. Is this going to happen if Argo interacts with the unnamed pretty boy and his thug entourage, as well? This is something that's sort of important for me to know, you know?

The Dirt Town Orphans - animeish, high fantasy gang RP [Always accepting]

One other important question, before I get started: Are we going to end up leapfrogging over this interaction, too? Because, like, I don't really want to go and write a full post of Argo striking up a conversation with the NPC if we're just gonna timeskip forward again, since I sorta need someone to play off to make this character work and every time we skip it basically wipes any progress towards doing so.

EDIT: Sorry blight bug, my bad. You go first.

The Dirt Town Orphans - animeish, high fantasy gang RP [Always accepting]

Hey, don't just kill me off like that.

EDIT: Also, why does anyone even want this island?
