[desertification]

Crocodile ate one of the "Devil Fruits" available in his canon, the "Sand Sand Fruit" ("Suna suna no mi"), and has a variety of powers as a result of that. First- since the Sand Sand Fruit is a Logia type, he can literally be made of sand whenever he wants to. He's trained himself so that turning into sand is a thing he can do out of reflex, which means that, say, surprise cutting through his neck...won't actually do anything harm to him, the cut will just pass through sand, and he can just reattach his head. (Nice try, Doflamingo.)

It doesn't end there. Crocodile can create blades of sand with serious cutting power out of his body, can create sandstorms, can suck all the water out of your body, and can suck all the water out of an area of land and cause centuries worth of erosion in a minute (handy for breaking out of prison!). If he's on a landscape made of sand, he can sense underground streams and do things like create pits of quicksand, he can slice the landscape apart, and he can use the sand around him. (You really do not want to go up against him in a desert. Really.) His power does have a serious weakness, but you pretty much have to find it out by accident while fighting him. This method is not recommended. (And even after you find out his weakness, it's likely to take more than one fight to beat him, and unless you're a shonen determinator with crazy luck, or very well prepared, you'll probably be too dead for round two.)

If all that wasn't enough, he's also just strong. That hook he has replacing his left hand? Yeah he can stab people clean through with it.
And he has a poisoned hook under it.
And he has a knife under that.

It is definitely possible to beat him, though- he's been beaten by a number of people in canon (gdit shonen determinators). And I know there are people on the community who could overpower him.

Of course, if you're not fighting him none of this should come up. But Crocodile can...kind of piss people off. If you think there's a chance of your character and Crocodile having an antagonistic encounter, or if you'd rather not have your characters interact with him, or any similar issues, please comment here and we can make things work!

I don't know his canon well enough but if he's evil enough to go to murder, it's possible Vash will try to step in to stop him.

He is a shounen determinator (in a world made of sand so it's lucky for him it would probably happen in Crocodile's world, but bullets don't do much against sand.

Very wrong account, but Crocodile is definitely that evil. He's "stab a seventeen-year-old through the chest, orchestrate a civil war, and plant a bomb where it will kill thousands of people" evil.

Unfortunately...Crocodile lives in a desert kingdom (or will until he finally gets sent to prison). So he's around a lot of sand in his world as well.

I see your wrong account, and I match it with a wrong account of my own.

^_^ Yeah, I should probably say that he would TRY to step in and stop him, if it ever broadcasts on the community and he can get a worldhop.

Depending where if that happens and where Vash is in canon, he'll probably IC hiatus at certain points, he would try to save whoever's being hurt.

This is becoming another "how many accounts can Orly use?" thread.

And Vash should do that. Because Crocodile is horrible. (Vash. ;_;)

I'm hoping to keep from revealing that Crocodile is a flat-out villain until some very major canon events happen, so it'll probably be months from now.

...I seem to be trying to match but I swear, I'm just answering my threads in order and that's always been the last one I used.

I'm not sure if you know Trigun's canon but trust me, Vash will step in if he sees someone in danger. I hope things align because it'd be interesting to see that dynamic :)

...And wow, I really manged my words in those posts xD Sorry, I was fighting sleep.
