Character Information
Pirate captain on an adventure with his crew to find the One Piece, and in doing so will become King of the Pirates. Luffy is a ball of chaotic, well-meaning energy wearing a straw hat. He's loud, optimistic for years, and believes the best in everyone until they prove otherwise. Basically he's like a golden retriever in human form. His penchant for acting without thinking has gotten, and will get, Luffy into trouble all the time. Big red button that says "don't press?", you can bet he's pressing it.
Loves his crew the most. More than happy to take a kicking, but the moment anyone sets a finger on the other Straw Hats is the moment the gloves come off, and the seriousness appears.
Send warning: Luffy will eat until he dies. Locks on fridges and pantries now good advice.

Appearance
Luffy is a lean, almost skinny, young man with a big grin that rarely leaves his face and brown eyes that promise trouble most of the time. He has a scar under his left eye that was self inflicted to prove a point, just not the one he was thinking at the time. Always wearing a straw hat. His black hair is tousled and unruly. Vibes are ones that radiate warmth, excitement, and a touch of chaos. Needs a shirt that says "if found, return to Straw Hat crew".
Skills & Abilities
After eating the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit, Luffy's body took on the properties of rubber. When someone eats a devil fruit it is said the ocean turns its back on the eater, which means not only does Luffy have rubber properties, but is weak to salt sea water; it renders him weak and should he fall into the ocean he would simply sink to the bottom and be unable to move. If he is sprayed with seawater it will also weaken him temporarily. Luffy uses his rubber abilities to put more impact into his attacks which he calls out in the belief that all good fighters call out their attack names:
• Gum Gum Pistol: A stretched out long range punch.
• Gum Gum Whip: A stretched out long range kick.
• Gum Gum Bazooka: A stretched out two handed slap/shove.
• Gum Gum Gattling: A flurry of punches
• Gum Gum Battle Axe: Stretched out heel kick.
• Gum Gum Rocket: Catapulting himself at the enemy.
Luffy has also been seen to bounce bullets back at pirates or deflect attacks, such as when Alvida fought him, inflate his body like a balloon to bounce back cannonballs, and has a haphazard style of dodging attacks and fighting. There is no current limit shown as to how far Luffy can be stretched; at one point he was being stretched on a rack by Buggy the clown and showed little signs of concern or discomfort.
Also it's worth an honorary mention that Luffy’s sense of smell is quite impressive. If he smells food he’s able to follow his nose to determine the location of it with success and can seemingly identify individual ingredients.
Failure rate: For this I would absolutely love to incorporate a moderate to high failure rate. Any time Luffy stretches, he risks the chance of not being able to snap back into place, meaning he may have noodle arms for an hour or more. Alternatively, it may just not work at all and he's stood shouting his attack names out with nothing happening, or if he's zapped with electricity / shot / falls from a great distance then the chances are he doesn't repel, bounce, or shrug it off. I would like him to be aware of the fact that this impulsivity could actually hurt him, or worse.
