[quote=@Shoryu]Oh hey, another One Piece RP!... I have a fair bit of interest in this stuff, so I think I'll throw my hat into the ring... I actually particularly like filling roles such as Engineers, so I will be more than interested in making an Engineer/inventor sort of character ;3

A good question though would be, does race matter? XD such as being a fishman or something?

On a side note, I'd half expect advances in weaponry, considering how much fighting tended to go on regularly and that they already had all kinds of ludicrous varieties of gun-powder weaponry going around... If not... I'd be more than happy for my Engineer to work on that >3> I love tinkering with new weaponized inventions! :D
[/quote]Would race matter in regards to what exactly? I mean, if you're a fishman, you'd have fish-like physiology, increased strength, and be an amazing swimmer.

Advances in weaponry wouldn't be uncommon. Tech in OP kinda varies depending on where they go, so its kind of hard to define. Generally, single-action flint locks are kinda old. Don't wanna establish a hard limit on tech, so feel free to go with what you're comfortable with as long as it remains reasonable. Robotics, cyborgs, lasers, and the like won't really fly as general tech.

Heh, I've seen a lot of OP roleplays pitched, but I'm still waiting for one to get off th eground. :P I'd certainly be interested though. I have a couple questions:

- Are the general structures still in place? i.e. new four Yonkos, new Shichibukai, World Government with new/old Admirals and such?
- Where would our character start off, development-wise? Pretty much newbies, like the Strawhats were when they first started? Or more advanced?
- (obvious One Piece question is obvious) What about Devil Fruits? Available? Later? Only canon? Custom?
- Will canon characters appear in aged versions?
[/quote]Going with new everything as far as characters and positions go. As for starting point, we'll be doing "Just about to enter the grand line" for the first arc.

Development-wise, probably around Arlong and Don Krieg level? You can start with DFs; I'm fine with either canon or custom.

As for canon characters, won't say no since its a possibility, but don't expect too much. If you feel like mentioning some in your character's bio, fill me in on what you're going for so that I can say if its cool or not.

[quote=@FiroIV]Since you mentioned that dials would be a thing I take it the concept of sky islands are now a common thing? As i remember sky islander's were not a common thing in the era Luffy and co existed. Also I was wondering what "Schools as Prisons" indicate, it's a specific enough phrasing that I take it this is a specific idea. 

As for location will we be visiting established areas in the canon and if so will they have changed? 

Also in terms of arc, since you mentioned initial arc I have to ask if we're starting already as a group or as individuals that will become a group?[/quote]The world is gonna be more aware of the sky island, but still far from being part of the norm. Sorry about the school thing; I think that's a typo from autocorrect. I think that was supposed to be Such As instead of School As.

Visiting canon locations isn't unlikely, but no clear plans yet. And if they'll be changed or not, I'll decided when it'd become significant to the story or to someone's bio. I mean, I haven't planned the entire journey and where to go, just certain plot points that could help us advance the story when needed. The details of each island though, I'll leave that for later.

More of individuals who'll become a group. Everyone will start of as relatively experienced pre-grand line pirates. You can be infamous or have bounties if you want. Spoilers, but oh well. The first arc will be everyone being captured and shipped to a prison.

[quote=@Zapdos]I might be interested in joining. I have an idea for a self-taught doctor who uses the Mera Mera no Mi that could be fun to roleplay as.[/quote] Going with a logia is kinda doing things on easy mode, but sure, go for it.
