One Piece: On Stranger Tides

@blumenk @LostDestiny Oh if you guys want a ship, my backstory includes that my character built a sloop. I didn't actually specify what happened to it, how or whether he crewed it, or really any details about the sloop at all, so that might be an option, if GM approves.

One Piece: On Stranger Tides

OK, here's my character. I'm hoping he might be fun for the GM as well :D

Eddie Borden (Gacha gacha fruit)

Name: Eddie Borden
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Appearance:
Dark skin, goatee. Keeps his hair closely shaved. Usually wears his goggles on his head, which has swappable lenses. He is on the short side, only 160cm tall, and quite thin.

Bio:
Eddie was born and raised in South Blue, on Oxford, an island known for its highly prestigious university. His mother worked as a scholar there, and from a young age, he received a thorough education from her such that he was able to enter the university on a scholarship. He was loyal to his mother, and studied there for the 4 requisite years of his course. However, as soon as his graduated, he told her that he was going to find his father, who had left them years ago.
He had spent his four years preparing himself for the journey. He had always been a tinkerer of things, and during the four years, he exploited Oxford University's resources to learn all he could learn about shipbuilding, and had already built himself a small sloop.
His father had left in search of the Lost Library, which was supposedly an ancient well of knowledge left by some long gone civilization. Most (including Eddie) believed that it was just a myth, however. Whatever the case, it was in the Grand Line, and Eddie would have to find some way to go there to find his father, even if it meant he would have to become a pirate.
At some point in his journey, he came across and ate the gacha gacha fruit, which has proved both a blessing and a curse.

Skills:
Gacha gacha Fruit
With great exertion of effort, can pop out a 'gacha' from his left hand, which contains a random item that may or may not help with the current situation. The item inside the gacha may be bigger than the gacha itself, and Eddie has seen items ranging from bombs to animated swords to kitchen sinks (literally, just one time). The items disappear at his will, or when he produces another gacha. Usually can muster one gacha every 10 minutes at the most, and maintain enough stamina to still run about and fight. If he pushes himself too much, he may be too tired to move, or even get ill from the exhaustion.

Combat Style:
Jack of all trades. He usually just uses whatever his gacha gives him. If it doesn't give him anything useful, he has his trusty flintlock pistol to rely on as a backup.

Personality:
He HATES gambling.
Generally a serious type; he will tell off children who behave badly. Unfortunately, he is not very good at interacting with children.
Often blames his bad luck for poor situations. In actuality, his luck is probably better than average; he is just a bit of a pessimist.

Role in Crew:
Engineer/Scholar

One Piece: On Stranger Tides

Only just saw this today. I do have a concept for a character, just need to work on it a bit more before I post it.

On Stranger Tides - A Pirate Fantasy RP

I'm assuming that existing Devil Fruit in the original universe are available for PCs in the AU? I'll probably lean towards rolling my own fruit, but it's nice to have that option.

On Stranger Tides - A Pirate Fantasy RP

@Vec Let's go with the former. This is us trying to rewrite history with a different cast all together. The premise would be plain and simple; its a race for One Piece. As for the specifics on pertinent characters and events, they'll just gradually be revealed.

EDIT: But if you guys wanna discuss the details, I'm game.

@Scio

I think keeping it simple is a good idea.

On Stranger Tides - A Pirate Fantasy RP

I'd be up for being part of a crew here. Although, I'd prefer to see other peoples' characters first so that I have some idea of what might mesh well.

In terms of lore, how much of the actual One Piece story will have happened in this universe? I'm up to date, so I don't really mind, but it might be more fun if Raftel/finding One Piece worked differently here, so that people who have read/watched more will be able to see something new?

Anyone want a Digimon Game?

This sounds interesting, but would you be alright with someone who has very little experience with digimon? It has been a long time since I've watched Digimon Adventures, and the only other thing I've seen is the first movie of Digimon Tri.

Hello there I'm new

... to role playing by post. It seems it is a lot more like writing than irl rpg is, but sounds quite fun!

My role playing experience is limited to a few tabletop rpg sessions in the recent past, and one or two failed attempts at GMing a game.

Because of that though, I'm much more inclined towards fast-paced "free" roleplays over writing hugely lengthy paragraphs. I also generally like reading character dialogue a lot more than lengthy expositions.

Aside from RPGs, I'm a massive anime nerd, though I'm also interested in most other geeky things.
