[Character Name] Tony Tony Chopper
[Canon] One Piece
[Point Taken from Canon] After leaving Water 7, before arriving in the Florian Triangle (i.e., just before meeting Brook for the first time)

[Age] 15
[Gender] Male
[Sexual Orientation] Straight, most likely... but since he's A) a reindeer, and B) insanely immature, it probably doesn't really matter.

[Eye Color] Unknown
[Hair Color] Well, his fur is tan?
[Height] Varies; in brain point and walk point he's about as high as a person's waist, and in heavy point he's pretty big (I'd guess around 7', but I'm not sure on an exact number)
[Other] None of Chopper's forms really look human. Links probably work better than descriptions, so...

Brain Point (the form he'll be in most of the time)
Walk Point (his reindeer form)
Heavy Point (his human form)

[Clothing] A pink top hat with a white "X", and plain red shorts. Sometimes he also wears a small blue backpack, also with a white "X" on it.

[Background]
From the moment Chopper was born, he was ostracized from his herd; the young reindeer had a blue nose instead of the usual brown, which the other reindeer saw as a reason to shun him. He lived this way, following the herd but never part of it, until he was ten. When grazing, he happened upon a strange fruit and ate it; this fruit turned out to be a devil fruit (a fruit which grants the eater a power, but makes them unable to swim or float in water), the hito-hito no mi (human-human fruit). Being a zoan fruit, it gave him the ability to change form- into both a human and a cross between his natural and new human forms. This fruit also granted him much higher intelligence than that of a reindeer (although the reindeer on Drum seem to be more human-like in intelligence and life-span than normal reindeer anyway). With his newly-acquired ability, though, the reindeer no longer wanted anything to do with him at all and chased him away. So, he tried to go live with humans.

Which was a big mistake. The villages he approached chased him away, thinking he was a monster. He was shot at, and ran away injured and scared. It was then that he was found by a strange man known as Doctor Hiruluk. Hiruluk wasn't really a doctor; he claimed to be so that he could try out his bizarre potions and whatnot on people, but he never actually healed anyone, and more often than not his patients ended up worse than they had been when he started out. When Hiruluk saw Chopper, he decided to care for him. After winning his trust (by taking his clothes off to show that he meant no harm), Hiruluk brought Chopper back to his house and cared for his wounds. It was then that he gave Chopper his name- "Tony-Tony" because of him being a reindeer (the Japanese word for reindeer is "tonakai"), and Chopper because he looked as if he could chop down trees with his antlers. As Chopper recovered, the two became incredibly close. Hiruluk even gave Chopper his first present- the pink hat that he always wears. But when Chopper was finally recovered, Hiruluk kicked him out, saying that he wanted nothing to do with him (and even shooting at him as the scared reindeer fled). But it was all a lie; Hiruluk had once suffered from an incurable disease, a disease which he was still dying from despite thinking that he had recovered. He knew his remaining time was short, and didn't want Chopper to see him die. But when he confessed this to his close friend, a fellow doctor by the name of Kureha, Chopper overheard and went to find a cure for Hiruluk's disease.

After finding what he thought was the cure in one of Hiruluk's books, Chopper set out on a journey to find an amiudake mushroom. He finally found one, after many difficulties (including a fight with his old herd in which he lost most of an entire antler). He quickly brought it back to the Doctor, who thanked him and immediately made it into a strong medicine. He then left Chopper to rest at home while he went to care for patients.

In reality, though, Hiruluk knew what Chopper did not. He went to Kureha to tell her that he was dying, and ask her to care for Chopper. She refused, telling him he would recover, which he denied. He refused to explain, though, and instead went to confront the tyrant who ruled the country. When Kureha, needing answers, went to Chopper to find out what happened, she was shocked; the amiudake that Chopper had been so sure was the cure, that Hiruluk had happily taken, was in reality a very poisonous mushroom. Chopper ran after Hiruluk, in an attempt to save his life, but was too late; just as he approached the castle, the Doctor blew himself up in an attempt to get through to the king. Chopper went on a rampage, trying to kill all the king's men, but was stopped by one of the king's guards and told that he should back down. He reluctantly did, though, and went back to Kureha. There, he begged her to teach him to be a doctor, so that he could cure any disease, even one said to be incurable. She agreed, and began to teach him all she knew.

Five years later, a group of pirates came to Drum, bringing a furious Wapol (the tyrant who ruled the island) along with them. Chopper, with the assistance of the pirates, defeated the king. The captain of the pirates, a boy by the name of Luffy, asked Chopper to join his crew, an offer which Chopper eventually accepted. And so he left his home to go out to sea, finally being like the pirates Hiruluk had told him so much about, to find a way to cure any disease.

Since then, Chopper has had many adventures with the Strawhat Pirates. He's helped save a desert kingdom, and gone up to a whole continent in the clouds. Most recently, though, he helped to save one of their crewmates from being executed by the World Government. They have now set off on another journey with a new boat, hoping to find fishman island.

[Personality]
Chopper is very much the little brother of the crew. Because of his young age and sheltered life, he is incredibly naive and childish. Most of the time, he's pretty much content to just goof off with his crewmates, whether they're going fishing or playing bizarre games around the ship. He's become incredibly attached to Usopp, and will believe pretty much anything the older boy tells him (no matter how far-fetched it really is). He's easily fooled, and couldn't even see through Usopp's costume when he pretended to be Sogeking (despite the fact that the "costume" was just a mask and cape). He's also very easily scared, and is quick to run at any sign of danger.

When things get serious, though, Chopper is very dependable. He's very loyal to the crew, and would do pretty much anything for any of them, even at the risk of his own life. His childishness still shows through, but he's getting more mature as time goes on and he fights more on his own. He's no longer scared at the thought of fighting solo, and will readily go into battle as one of the more physically powerful members of the crew. He is also very serious about his doctoring, and is very stern about his crewmates following his orders.

[Specialties/Abilities]
Because of Chopper's zoan devil fruit (hito-hito no mi), he can freely transform between three different forms- his natural reindeer form (Walk Point), a human form (Heavy Point), and a half-reindeer, half-human form (Brain Point, the form he uses most often). His human form is very strong, and his reindeer form is very fast. He has also created a special medicine he calls a rumble ball, which give him four extra forms: Guard Point (a form in which he grows huge amounts of fur around himself, which he can use as a guard against many kinds of attacks or falls), Arm Point (a half-human, half-reindeer form in which he has extremely powerful arms with reindeer hooves; this is the form he uses most often for attacks), Jumping Point (a half-human, half-reindeer form in which he has very powerful back legs that he uses for jumping), and Horn Point (another half-human, half-reindeer form in which his antlers grow insanely large for use in battle). There are limitations on using these other forms, though; he has to eat a rumble ball first, and then he only has three minutes before the ball wears off. If he eats a second one within six hours, he can still transform into his extra forms, but has no control over what form he uses. A third rumble ball transforms him into a monster, a huge, yeti-like version of himself with large amounts of strength. In his monster form, though, he has no control over himself and acts purely on instinct. Because of this, he only uses this form in dire situations.

Chopper is also a doctor, and has studied for years under a very good doctor, Dr. Kureha. He is very skilled, and can also create his own medicines. Chopper is very intelligent, although it can be hard to notice this due to how naive he is. Since he was originally an animal, he can communicate with animals of all kinds. He also has a very powerful sense of smell, and can easily identify people from afar by scent alone (although he also is easily overpowered by strong scents, such as perfume).

[Affection] What type of affections are allow/disallowed and would your character do this to others?
People are free to hug him, cuddle him, use him as a pillow/teddybear, or whatever, but nothing past that really.
[Fighting] Can other characters fight/injure/kill your character? You can also mention how well your character is at fighting and if he/she would invoke fights.
Fighting/Injuring is definitely allowed (as long as it makes sense, of course), but be warned that, no matter how he looks, Chopper can be a pretty fierce opponent. So he's likely to do a buttload of damage back to you as well. Killing is theoretically okay, but it definitely needs lots of discussion first.

[Other Facts]
-Chopper fails at hiding. He always hides backwards (i.e., only a foot will be behind whatever he's hiding behind while the rest of him sticks out).
-For some reason, he makes squeaky noises when he walks while in his half-form.
-Chopper doesn't take compliments well. He really enjoys them, but pretends he doesn't, resulting in him looking very happy and embarrassed (while dancing, most of the time), while insulting the person complimenting him.
-Most of Chopper's moves have to do with sakura, as Doctor Hiruluk had a deep connection to sakura (he felt that his disease was cured by seeing a field of sakura trees, all in bloom).
-Chopper's birthday is on December 24.
-Chopper is, apparently, very easy to mistake for a tanuki.
-Chopper seems to forget that he's a doctor lots of the time, and calls for a doctor anytime someone is hurt.
-Chopper loves cotton candy. In fact, the title the Marines gave to him is "Cotton Candy Lover Chopper"
-Like the rest of the crew, Chopper has a bounty. Unfortunately, though, it's the lowest bounty so far- 50 beri. The other bounties shown so far range from 5 million-340 million, so Chopper's is incredibly low in comparison.
