[B][I]Wealth, fame, power... Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates obtained this and everything else the world had to offer. And his dying words drove countless souls to seas.[/I][/B] [CENTER][B][I]'You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place! Now you just have to find it!'[/I][/B][/CENTER] [B][I]These words lured men to the Grand Line in pursuit of dreams greater than they've ever dared to imagine! This is the time known as 'The Great Pirate Era'![/I][/B] [B][I]In this time known as the Great Pirate Era, several things have ocurred. Countless pirates fight over the treasure known as One Piece, and the Navy goes through great efforts to see those same people imprisoned. People have been named Emperors, Warlords and whatnot, and even then, people still search for the one and only One Piece inside the Grand Line. Veterans and rookies alike, all of them have gone into the Grand Line to search for that great treasure. All of them are impressive in their own right, but what has impressed the Navy the most are the super rookies suddenly appearing all over the world. They are becoming more and more of a threat as time goes on and they become stronger. This is the story of a certain group of pirates, and how they rise through their ranks to achieve their dreams![/I][/B] [hr] All right! I just started One Piece a while ago (I'm still at episode 400-something, though), and I've just been CRAVING a One Piece RP. Even so, though, people often tend to forget these easily, so I'd like this to be a small group RP with some dedicated people that won't drop out in a long time, at least, not drop out before things get interesting. Then again, people seem to come to these kinds of RP's like flies, so that was a short lived dream. xD Still, the RP will follow as long as there are even if a few dedicated people. This RP will be set in a One Piece AU with none of the original characters in here. Meaning.....! Yes, you can have any Devil Fruit you want! As long as it isn't too OP, that is. Like the Yami Yami No Mi, or the Pika Pika no Mi, or shite like that. That does not mean you cannot have a Logia fruit, but please do be careful on how you go around things. Oh, and also, original Devil Fruits! Yes, you can make your own Devil Fruit! As long as it has reasonable weaknesses and all. [hr] [h3]Reservations[/h3] [list] [*]Doctor; Aldridge [*]Sniper; Quatro [*]Musician; Suku [*]Tailor; hatakekuro [*]Quartermaster; Prostagma [/list] [hr] Of course, if you'd like some other kind of role that isn't here, you are free to come up with one. The ones that are necessary are highlighted in the list as well. Also, having a role like those does not necessarily mean that you cannot fight too. You can also double in characters if you want, we may need to do so in the end, though. My character will be the captain and will also recruit everyone else's characters in time, and so, since our pirate crew will be the main focus in this story, we may need to double in order to make things more interesting with enemies and whatnot, so that not all of them are controlled by me. And so, you are also free to Warlords or even Emperors to fit the story of your character, maybe even use them as enemies later on! [hr] [h3]Rules[/h3] [list] [*]The usual part of the rules, no metagaming, godmodding, Mary Sue/Gary Stu or similars. Do it once, get out. No excuses. [*]There will be a limit of waiting for people of about 5 days. If after that period there is no singal of them, their character will be killed off without excuses and another spot will be opened. This will not happen if you let me know in advance that you will not be around, though. [*]There's no actual requirement for paragraphs. As long as the paragraph helps to the progress of the story and is a good paragraph, then it is okay. [*]There is no character limit. Players will also help towards arcs and whatnot by making villains as well. [*]In this kinds of RP's cooperation is necessary, as so, I'd like everyone here to always be thinking on new ways to get on witht he RP. They will be heard and followed if they are good enough. People will also be in charge of their own arcs as well, coordinating them and writing the history of them for everyone to interact with. [*]Be nice to others please! If we inevitably get caught on an argument, then my word is final. If you really feel like you got to solve those problems, then take it to the PM's. [*]Any other forum rules of the Guild apply, so take that into account. [*]Last, but not least and really important.
