Hello OPRP adminship, I had an idea that I wanted to get your guys' take on/approval of, for a new subset of SMILE.
My proposal is that I can create a new subset of SMILEs called FROWNs. They are attempts to refine and better weaponize the SMILE fruits and their powers, and are made from a substance called JOY, which is produced from juicing and breaking down SMILE fruits. JOY is crystalized and mixed with soil; plants then grown in the soil bear FROWN fruits
FROWN fruits grant the user a (maybe?)permeant hybrid form (at the very least training could eventually allow shifting back to regular form), but cannot manifest any of the normal SMILE qualities or special unique abilities, and cannot grant a full animal form of any kind. There's also a possibility they don't produce a full hybrid form. They'd be as give or take as strong as their true zoan hybrid counterparts, but they'd perhaps be a bit more combat oriented, - for example all FROWN forms having sharp fangs (that's a maybe). In addition, consuming additional FROWNs, even unsuccessful ones, after the initial success, causes both a temporary power burst marked by the desire and ability to smile. If the user consumes another FROWN of the same type as their own, their hybrid form gains a permenant small boost in its atributes.
The downsides of FROWNs, including an inability to swim, is that the consumer has a permanent frown stuck on their face. They can feel and express other emotions but only in ways other than facial - they aren't stuck depressed, just with permeant resting bitch face. Failed FROWNs (a 1 in 10 instead of 9 in 10 like SMILEs) take swimming and give a partial or full hybrid form, same as the base FROWN, but the user is reduced to the intelligence of the animal, and they become feral - though they are stronger than successful users
I'd love feedback or anything else you have to say as a whole. If there are problems, I'd love suggestions on what I might improve to make the idea viable.
