I'm hoping that you really meant it when you said character creation was open indefinitely? xD
If you'll accept me I'll get to reading the RP to catch up.
Name: Tsubaki 'the Lioness'
Affiliation: (going to join) Black Moon Pirates (unless it's going to be severely outnumbered and you want me for the Marines, I don't mind)
Bounty: 5,000,000 Beri
Position on Crew: Lookout
Weapon of Choice: Tsubaki is a Zoan type, with the Neko Neko no Mi (Lion model). She has also fashioned a pair of retractable claws out of metal to use when she is fully human. Although half/half hybrid form isn't bad for her, she has trouble keeping control when she is fully transformed, so she relies strongly on her natural abilities.
Her Zoan abilities give her enhanced eyesight and hearing, making her a more-than-capable lookout in a crow's nest.
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Appearance:
How Character Joined the Crew/Marines: Tsubaki was originally with the Kuja Pirates from Amazon Lily (hence her flower-name). But once she left the island for the first time, she never wanted to return. She became a captain of her own crew, but soon had a falling out due to her selfish personality. Now, she is on the lookout to join a new crew (and learn what being part of a team is all about).
Other: Like other Kuja tribeswomen, she excels in natural brute strength. Due to the Kuja tribe's lack of information on devil fruits, she unknowingly ate her Neko Neko no Mi. However, being both a Kuja tribeswoman and a Zoan-type user, she is better than the average fighter.
She has the typical man-hater personality of a Kuja tribeswoman. She is also lacking in worldly knowledge due to her reclusive life on Amazon Lily. Tsubaki is absent of the pet snakes customarily seen with Kuja tribeswomen, as her snake was left on her home island.
Theme Song:
(Although Kuja tribeswomen excel with Busoshoku haki, I wanted to give Tsubaki room to grow, so I'm leaving it out for now.)
