"Hey. Have you ever heard of the All Blue?"
Sanji is a highly skilled chef who does his best every day to feed exceptional food to the Strawhat Pirates. He's got an firey temper and seems to have a nasty attitude towards everyone (unless you're a pretty lady...), to the point he can and will start kicking people around. Literally.
However, beneath all that bluster is a very tender heart. Sanji is a deeply kind man who has suffered his own share of troubles; so much so that he refuses to let anyone go hungry. Even if they can't pay, even if they're his enemies; if they're hungry, he will feed them all. He would also give his life in a heartbeat to save his friends (and has done so...many times already...), which can be a problem, since he dreams of finding the All Blue someday. He can't do that if he's dead. Unfortunately his self sacrificial nature makes him the type to always put others' needs above his own, especially if he feels like he owes that person.
But it's ok he's just a silly flirt, nothing to see here! Let him feed you, it's all totally fine!!
♥ First Impressions ♥
VISUAL: Sanji is a young man with a lean, muscular build. He has short blonde hair, and the bangs fall over one side of his face at all times, likely to hide how both his eyebrows spiral to the left. His eye color is like that of the ocean, a deep blue that looks almost black in some lighting. He has a goatee that's rather sparse, but fills in and darkens after the timeskip.
Sanji is often seen wearing dark suits and long sleeved dress shirts beneath of varying colors. His dress shoes are always black, likely to match his pirate title "Black Leg", and are reinforced to compliment his fighting style. Sanji is almost always seen with a cigarette somewhere on his person.
AURAL: His JP VA is a classic; Hiroaki Hirata (clip). But his EN VA Eric Vale (clip) does a good job as well, as does his live action depiction by Taz Skylar (clip). It rotates in my head but roughly Sanji's voice is tenor range with some solid rasp to it since he's a heckin chain smoker.
OLFACTORY: Clean as one can be living on a pirate ship. Always carries the scent of cigarette smoke and probably faint spices from cooking. Likely some cologne. Might even smell faintly of the ocean sea breeze.
DEMEANOUR: Sanji is not the type to keep his feelings close to his chest. He wears his heart on his sleeve; no he's not likely to go trauma dumping but he will throw hands (feet?) at the drop of a hat if someone/thing pisses him off or he deems it worth fighting for. He's gruff, but keeps a strict old fashioned gentlemanly code that can in fact annoy the women in his day to day life, but it's just. How he is. He's serious, he's flirtatious, he's a livewire, sometimes he's all at once. He grew up working as a line cook, Sanji is just not the type to stay quiet when he has something to say.

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: go for it! Just know his reactions will be different depending on what gender you identify as (I am so sorry about him). Women getting affectionate with him will make Sanji incredibly flustered and happy. For men it's...well. Let's say his love language is food; without that, he's likely to start fighting and yelling alot.PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Yeah ofc, this guy is always ready to throw down lmao. He's pretty strong and if you wanna work out a more serious combat scenario PM me and we'll get in touch! Since his abilities can be heckin weird....also he will never ever kick/attack a woman. He has almost died several times because of this, we know it's a problem but it's something he will not budge on due to personal reasons (that are not just he drinks too much respect women juice. Even though that is a factor.)
RELATIONSHIPS: HMMM so I'm not really interested in playing romance/sex, and that will show in how I play Sanji. He will flirt and simp and all that but. Guh. I can't imagine him managing an actual healthy romantic relationship with anyone the way he is now. And he would like to get it right, thanks. He's likely to goof it up before it can ever get very far LMAO.
FRIENDSHIPS THOUGH please more friends are always good he's SO ride or die...
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Look into his head and it's either like a scene from iron chef, an always evolving shopping list, girls, gifts he can give crew-members without being caught, etc. All pretty mundane stuff, normal human brain here.
MAGICAL INFORMATION: Nope! Not even a devil fruit power here.
ABILITIES: Cooking first and foremost! He is also able to use observation Haki and armament Haki (to strengthen his legs when he kicks mainly) but that's not technically magic?? He can also sky walk. As in...walk on air. And set his legs on fire. No I don't know how to explain it, it's One Piece.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Hoo boy. Ok. For all intents and purposes, Sanji is human. He's fit, alot of lean muscle, maybe a BIT stunted in height and weight due to the uuuuh starving on a rock for a couple months. It's possible one reason he smokes so much is to curb possible hunger pains.
......later canon spoilers. Early backstory/whole cake island arc spoilers below the cut:
Sanji is a product of genetic engineering, and is one of 5 such projects. He was meant to be inhumanely durable, unable to feel pain or any emotion, and be unable to disobey his father. His mother intervened just in time (by poisoning herself before giving birth to him and his brothers). He was deemed the failure of the bunch because he was "weak" and very sensitive, and did not end up with the same abilities his siblings did.
It's possible his abilities with fire and how quickly he heals are latent effects from this project, but it's hard to say. It is important that Sanji is human with a very big heart, but his biology might be a bit. Weird if one looks closer. So like, normal guy but a BIT to the left.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Gosh he's so easy to offend sometimes. Big ones though are wasting food, hurting or making women cry (so he says, but he's flown to the defense of any upset crewmember), or getting his hands hurt (those are for cooking only and he takes his job very seriously.) Other things can crop up but those are the main ones.
Possible Content Warnings/themes/things that might come up with Sanji you might want to opt out of:
Starvation, cannibalism (not graphic), complicated and frankly unhealthy views on gender norms/toxic masculinity, his abysmal lack of regard for his own safety/life....
Spoiler edition (if you don't want spoilers just lemme know and I'll steer clear of these the best I can:
child abuse, child neglect, domestic abuse, claustrophobia, entomophobia (fear of bugs, he's deathly afraid), imprisonment, medical trauma, MASSIVE daddy issues. And mommy issues. And sibling issues. So many issues. He's emotionally disowned his bio family, Zeff is his dad as far as he's concerned, Vinsmoke who?Regardless, not all of this will come up all the time. He's in a generally good place now, but I thought I'd list all that just in case.
♥ OOC Contact/Permissions ♥
NAME: BreCONTACT: my tumblr, PM, PM me for my discord!
ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: Random pace, CST, sleep schedule in shambles
BRACKETS/PROSE: Prose is preferred, but I can adapt to other styles if needed.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Parasites is the first that comes to mind. Specifically things moving under the skin that should not be (for example: the scarabs in The Mummy), but lingering/inescapable infections do approach squick territory. Gratuitous child or animal abuse/death are a no-go. Not a big fan of character permadeath situations either.
I'm not interested and sometimes actively repulsed by sexual content. Themes can be fine but if it gets graphic, that's very Not Fun territory here.
BACKTAGGING: Absolutely!!
THREADHOPPING: Ask first, please!
FOURTHWALLING: Big maybe. I'd like to be asked first please!
NOT INTERESTED IN: Romance or sexual content. If played very specifically, romance COULD be fine? Would have to be carefully worked out OOC, though. Also not particularly interested in debating who's stronger etc.
