Someone once said...
There are duck-billed mammals which have super spicy meat, and lay hot peppers instead of eggs. Duck-Billed Platypeppers. It has also been rumored that there are wild dogs with hair like the finest fettuccine alfredo, which can be trimmed without harming the animal. Alfredogs! The world is still in the Gourmet Age. An age in which people quest for yet unknown culinary delights.
Two centuries ago, Toriko and the Heavenly Kings succeeded thwarting the group known as "NEO" and captured GOD... the Main Dish on Gourmet Sage Acacia's Full-Course of Life. They shared it with the world and brought an end to the second Gourmet War. This was not possible without the assistance of their former foes in the Gourmet Corp. However, after the defeat of "NEO", Midora chose to disband the Gourmet Corp and retreated into the Gourmet World alone rather than face judgment for his crimes.
Alas, despite the fall of Midora's organization and the resurgence of the IGO, the International Gourmet Organization... numerous smaller illegal operations persist, and the malcontents that lead them often find ways to elude IGO Justice. In times like this, the IGO is known to hire skilled Gourmet Hunters and other potent figures to directly deal with the threats. Sometimes the threat is as simple as a poacher of ingredients. Other times it is a Narcotic Ingredient Smuggling Ring. In any case, the solution is usually resolved by the talented individuals under the IGO's employ.
And now a new group of prominent IGO employees is rising. Will they be the next group to rise to the level of the Heavenly Kings or beyond? Will they be doomed to mediocrity? Will they uphold the law and respect the ingredients? Will they consume all before them and fall to the ways of the former Gourmet Corp.? Only time will tell.
=================================================================
Now I know what you're thinking. "I bet I need to know a lot about Toriko to take part in this RP."
Wrong.
If you don't know a lot about Toriko, no problem. I'm more than happy to assist people in making a character for this, and will answer any questions people have in regard to the setting, powers, characters, etc.
Plus, this RP is completely Non-Canon and separate from the Anime/Manga of Toriko. Things can be stretched a little bit for ease of play and simplicity's sake. We will be starting with the potential for some cool powers, and there will be an occasional "Level-Up" for those who remain active and do not break the rules. In time, everyone will have a very powerful character. But with powerful characters come powerful bad guys. So let's get to it!

1. Don't be a jerk. A bit of arguing is alright, as is friendly debate. But if things start getting heated, take it to PMs.
2. Don't argue with GMs too much. If you disagree with a ruling, say so and say why. I will re-evaluate my opinion and may reconsider my stance. If I say something is final, however... do not continue to debate it.
3. This is not a place for short posters. The accepted minimum is two paragraphs per post, with three to five paragraphs being the expected normal. If something is particularly tough to respond to... let people know in the OOC that you need something more to reply to.
4. Godmodding. Do it, and I swear to God your character will die. "Autokilling" or "Autohitting" of PCs defines Godmodding without prior agreement with the player, Making up attacks on the fly, nuking cities in one shot, and being Superman.
5. Please try to remain active. Give notice if you'll be gone. Extended periods of absence will result in characters being moved along and/or killed off.
6. Collabs are encouraged. They're fun. :3 Don't know what a collab is or how to do one? Just ask.
7. No OOC chatting in the IC Thread. That is why THIS thread is here.
8. Have fun. Don't spam GIFs. No Lemon Party. Thor is best Avenger.
9. This is a Non-Canon RP. That means no one is allowed to play as characters from the show. No Toriko, No Coco, No Sunny/Sani, etc... You may have distant relations to the characters, but no children of them, siblings, etc. This RP is at least two centuries after the show, so keep that in mind if making someone related to a canon character.
10. Put "Delicious" at the end of your CS so I know you read the rules.

Arc 1: Recover a Crab Pig!
Crab Pigs are known for their supremely tasty meat, that combines the refined sweet flavor of crab meat with the light sweet fat of pork. A Crab Pig is capable of moving at impressive speeds and running long distances to the point where it can even match the speed of a cheetah, proving that it is quite an agile creature. This elevated physical ability ensures that the Crab Pig's body is jam-packed with muscle and has a lower fat content than any normal pig. Many restaurants covet the succulent flesh of this animal, as it isn't so much dangerous to obtain as it is simply hard to find and catch. This ensures that most Gourmet Hunters that are sent after it survive and are willing to hunt for them again.
That said, the Crab Pig can live in most any climate that is not subject to arctic temperatures. This makes them both easy to find... and difficult to find, as their territories are large and often in remote locations. Even so, the meat is valuable. With 100-gram portions selling for as much as 8,000 Yen in restaurants. And with an average adult weight of 3 tons, one could safely assume that the edible portions could total as much as 2200kg... totaling an average of around 80,000,000 Yen sale price for each animal, at wholesale. A surefire boon for any group of hunters fortunate enough to bring one to market.
The IGO has requested that a small group of relatively new Gourmet Hunters gather together to hunt a Crab Pig for the Hotel Gourmet's 8 Star Restaurant, Komatsu's Century Diner. Named for the Legendary Chef and partner of Toriko, the restaurant is known for incredible cuisine such as the Century Soup Mk.III and Puffer Whale fried in Mors Oil. But as such, it needs frequent resupplying. So it has turned to the IGO to find reliable Hunters.
This will be the first test for the newest group of Gourmet Hunters under IGO's direct employ.
