I would really like some help working this fruit. Here is the chatango conversation I had with Yak.


buggytheclown1 (4/7/12 4:00:44 PM): Puchi Puchi No Mi (Blow Blow Fruit): The name refers to the Japanese onomatopoeia of popping. This fruit turns the user into a blow man, capable of blowing through any substance. The power is activated by the user creating a circle with their point finger and thumb and placing it close to the substance. They then put their lips through that circle and blow causing the substance to inflate much like blowing into a balloon. The substance retains most of the properties of the original substance, such as weight, temperature, etc, etc, but the area that has been inflateds density is greatly reduced, allowing it to float through the air. The hardness of what one can blow through increases with more mastery. It is also impossible to blow through any living object.
yaksha91 (4/7/12 4:01:47 PM): Hmmm...
yaksha91 (4/9/12 3:03:01 PM): Got word from Hainen about your fruit.
yaksha91 (4/9/12 3:03:05 PM): Power's fine, theme's not.
yaksha91 (4/9/12 3:03:13 PM): "Blow" fruit isn't a solid theme.
yaksha91 (4/9/12 3:03:22 PM): He did say a clown fruit could work, though.
yaksha91 (4/9/12 3:03:30 PM): And you could go beyond balloons, later on.
yaksha91 (4/9/12 3:03:53 PM): Turn stuff into confetti, for example.
buggytheclown1 (4/9/12 3:53:44 PM): Oh shit! thats awesome!


^The only problem is, I cant seem to figure out how to structure this new Clown fruit. Any help at all would be much appreciated. Any thoughts or ideas could help.

Make people put rocks and leaves on their heads and then turn them into clown costumes.

So you decided to make the creepiest fruit in the world, huh? Here goes, I'm just trying as a newbie to help, all I can really say for sure about is clowns in general basically because my part time job is one at parties. D:

Well, first of all, the theme isn't strictly Clowns but related to it, that's how I grasp this. Now, based around that, you must remember that in reality, clowns are way different from anything else in the circus or so much related things. Clowns aren't meant to success at what they try, they're meant to fail and be funny. If a clown balances on a ball: he must fall. If a clown makes balloon animals: he still needs to be creepy. If a clown juggles: he needs to drop more than once. And everything else that is silly must happen around a clown. Just keep this in mind to help the creativity along.

Now as the theme relates to different kind of things that clowns do, you should start by making a full list of all the things you think a clown does, should do, could do, and so on. Eq. juggling, balancing, balloons, balloon-animals, little magic, oversized or way too small equipment from inconvenient spaces; fitting into tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny cars or pulling a gigantic hammer out of your pants. Then just strike down anything that can't be done at all, then categorize them in a way that shapes it by steps.

For that part, you need scaling, I assume, - what can you do at what level basically. I have no idea how this will work, just guessing it'll be based on fortune.

Back to different abilities, mainly balloon-animals. This is closest to the inflating part. You should be able to inflate different shaped objects in different ways, for example a rock would inflate differently from a tree trunk, just by their shape. This is what balloon-animals are based on.. You can't really start twisting a normal balloon around. The balloons for balloon-animals are long cylinder shaped and the material is quite thick so it requires a lot of force, but even fully inflated (though normally you leave in a good sized 'tail' uninflated) you can twist them about without too much worry. So the next step from inflating should be able to twist inorganic things you've inflated to new shapes. For example: take a staff, inflate it from one end, shape it into a sword shape. It should still be blunt but you in a way have a wooden sword now, which isn't quite as though, but it's funny.

I guess you could also manipulate the size of things in relation to those tiny cycles or hide things in smaller places than their original size for limited time. I'm not sure.

So basically I think you should just work down all the basics of this fruit and then try with an experienced member or a staff member to ease it into a correctly worded and acceptable shape.

Hope this helps a little.

Thanks that does help. The only problem I see is that there are just so many different things a clown can do. I dont see it being specific enough

Take and choose things a clown can do, your blowing power can make things into balloon like things that the clown man can twist into animals or things like that.
From what Yaksha said maybe add in production of confetti, and juggling as beary said is good. Perhaps they can juggle anything they inflate as long as they stand still or something like that. Hope this helps.
