Alright, here's my suggested character: Cherro from Cherry On Top
Cherry on Top is a metroidvania so Cherro has multiple abilities to allow him to progress and to reach the end.
His abilities (from first to last) :
1. Shoot rice shots
2. Shoot Cutting Chips
3. Tosses Rambutan Bombs
4. Tosses Jelly Block (doesn't hurt anyone)
His world is food world, though the game only has 2 worlds: Traditional foods and Cake land.
BTW you might need to up this thread to get more attention from people, especially with latest drama.
