CHARACTER INFO

Character: Tony Tony Chopper
Canon: One Piece & during the Enies Lobby arc.
Age: 15

Background Information: https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Tony_Tony_Chopper/History

Personality: 1) Tell us about who your character is and what someone’s first impression would be upon meeting them.
Chopper is a small, humanoid (yes, you read that right) reindeer. Despite seeming childlike in nature, he's in his early teens, and mature enough to have learned quite a bit when it comes to the medical field – enough to the point where he's the doctor of the Strawhat Crew. Easily impressionable, Chopper is someone who is quickly influenced by others – enough to the point where he left the island he grew up on to join the Strawhats.

Despite being raised by two rather eccentric individuals, Chopper comes off as rather timid and shy at first, but this is due to the past when he was previously shunned and feared by humans. Although he's become more open, he has a general distrust for those who he does not know well. If not for the fact that he met the Strawhat Crew, he would have maintained the habit of either hiding or running out of fear from any humans that he would meet. Despite this, Chopper is polite and kind – helping others who he doesn't know well and loyal to those who he considers friends. He's kind to the point where he would do absolutely anything for his friends – even if it means stepping out of his comfort zone.

2) What is a driving force your character has? What goals do they have, what motivates them, etc?

Chopper's driving force is his dream to carry out his deceased father figure's dream – to become a doctor who can cure any disease. While he had partially set out with Luffy's crew with a partial desire to be a pirate, his primary goal in life is to further his studies as a doctor. His goals are noble in their own way – believing strongly that a doctor should help anyone who needs assistance, along with the fact that all life should be respected. When the Strawhat crew is in trouble in any way, he helps them as much as possible – even going as far as delivering first aid supplies to friend who states that he no longer wants to be involved with the crew.

But, it isn't just being a doctor that motivates him. Chopper cares for his friends enough to where he considers them family, visibly becoming extremely upset at the thought of being part of another crew. Even though he is easily panicked, Chopper will fight for his friends and even sacrifice his well-being when it comes to protecting them. Though, perhaps it makes sense for him to get along so well with the other crewmates. With how passionate they all are, Chopper's tendency to be easily impressed and influenced by others is enough to make him admire them easily.

His goal as a doctor is something strong enough that his kind and meek nature can be replaced with resentment when it comes to harsh experiments and manipulation through medicine. He believes very strongly in “the doctor's code” and believes that a doctor should only seek to help others.

3) What are their flaws as a character? What is something they've messed up, or have done that they regret?
As said earlier, Chopper is incredibly naive and even timid. He believes the majority of the things said to him, even if the story sounds ridiculous to others. While this is enough to inspire him to mimic others, Chopper can still be very cowardly at times. With his lack of confidence in his fighting abilities contributing to such things, he runs away more than anything else when it comes to protecting himself against adversaries. For the most part, it's only with the motivation of others when he finds himself gathering whatever courage he needs to push himself through.

Despite considering himself as a pirate, Chopper can panic easily when it comes to dangerous situations. This part of his personality becomes extreme enough at times to be a gag, sometimes to where he asks where a doctor is if someone is hurt (despite being a doctor himself). He's also extremely emotional, wearing his heart on his sleeve and finding himself influenced greatly by the emotions of others around him.


His lack of confidence is also drastic enough to where he finds himself hiding from others and intimidated easily by people he does not know well. He has a habit of not only hiding from people upon first meeting them, but finds himself flustered very easily when it comes to compliments. He has a conflicting response to such things – while obviously happy, he'll outright insult the other person as well (saying things like “It's not like that makes me happy or anything, idiot!”).

4) Optional: What is something unique and interesting about them, or what is a fun little tidbit that sets them apart from the crowd?

One Piece is full of unique characters, but Chopper... is truly different and interesting due to the goal he's seeking as a pirate. His kindness and lack of confidence to fight has earned him a whopping bounty of 100 berries – in comparison to someone like Luffy who has a bounty well into the thousands.

Abilities & Inventory: Abilities & Inventory: https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Tony_Tony_Chopper/Abilities_and_Powers

The only ability I'm wondering about nerfing is his Rumble Ball ability. I don't personally consider his transformations to be game breaking or anything, especially since they're already fairly limited in the canon. He only has access to his transformations for a short time, and it's basically the influence of his own hand crafted medicine that causes him to transform.

For his inventory, I would like for him to enter the game with rumble balls. Chopper isn't someone who relies on them too often, and he can create them on his own – I'm more than happy to have him perhaps only carry a few of them at a time if this power needs to be nerfed in some way.

Considering that he is from an earlier point in canon, the techniques listed in the Wiki is not something he has developed yet.


ARMADA SELECTION

Corsair. Despite everything, Chopper is from a world of pirates. While pirates are known as morally questionable individuals at best in his world, they're also a place of admiration for many people as well. At his canon point, he's considered himself to be a pirate for quite sometime – and therefore, would be most fit to be placed in the game as being a corsair.. Despite being incredibly loyal to being a Strawhat, it would feel very out of character for him to consider himself anything but both a pirate and a doctor at this point. Chopper thrives on the idea of not only achieving his goals, but self discovery as well – which is something that can be achievable through his freedom of being considered a corsair.
