Roger’s life was taken. During his time as a pirate, He amassed great power and greater wealth, and on the day of his death, he had this to say… My treasure? It's yours if you want it! You'll just have to find it first. I Left everything I had...in One Piece And so the race was off, To find the legendary Treasure One Piece. Should you be able to find this treasure, you will be able to claim the title… King of The Pirates.[/center] [center][h1]Getting Started[/h1][/center] Want to join? Well the first thing you need to do is fill out the character template below. When you're done please feel free to post your character in this thread. Once a GM has approved your character then you can begin RPing. Characters: You're free to make a Pirate, Bounty Hunter or even a Marine! You can have however many you feel comfortable playing. Character Level: Obviously, you're not going to be op at the beginning. so for marines, the highest rank offered at creation will be Lt. For pirates and bounty hunters, try to keep it reasonable! Devil's Fruits: Every fruit is available for you to choose from, BUT! Powerful devil's fruits will need to be run by a GM or Co-GM (if we can be so lucky) Logias may be reserve red at creation, but please wait till you enter the grand line to obtain them. World Powers: Things like the Admirals, The Yonkou, The seven warlords... all that, will come in time! I'd like to give people the chance to create them when the time is right! Haki/Rokoshiki: Currently unavailable to all you rookies out there! But will become available as time moves on! Which leads me too... Bounties: As your character progresses in the story, your exploits will obviously earn you the ire of the world around you. But this is to your advantage! A bounty is a mark of honor to a pirate! Each week, I'll read through the IC thread and gift you a bounty! What about Marines: You wont be left out! The world government sees everything you do as well, though you aren't given bounties, you will receive medals and accommodations! Earn enough of these and you can say good bye to that low rank of yours and hello to a wonderful promotion! So as you can see: bounties and medals are both a reward for active players as well as a means of letting you know, when your character can start moving up into bigger and better things! Obviously, if you've received a large bounty, or a few promotions, you have the strength to match! [center][h1]STORY[/h1][/center] The story of this RP is very simple. We'll follow the lives of these characters and their crews on their adventure to find One Piece... or to stop pirates. Whatever their goals may be. The world is free to be shaped by you for the most part, all I ask is, if you have an Arc you'd like to do, run it by me so I can help out and approve anything that might be a little out there. But for the most part: Have fun. There's tons of islands that have yet to be discovered and they range in all sorts of styles. So let's have fun with it... But also... MAJOR STORY ARCS will happen! Though I understand some people don't always want to be involved with them: So if you want to ever skip out, you can... just know, you may be missing out on a sweet bounty, amazing sword, great treasure... or maybe even a devil's fruit! [hider=Character Sheet] Name: Pick something piratey. Age: How old is your character? Starting Location/Current Location: Every journey has a beginning. This is the starting point for your character. All characters must begin in one of the four Blue's: North, South, East, West. After you begin your journey try and keep your character current location as up to date as possible. Appearance: What does your character look like? Picture or Description! Personality: How your character thinks and responds. Be as in depth as possible. Dream/Goal: One Piece is about dreams. What is your characters dream or goal? Whether it's conquering the world or becoming the worlds greatest swordsman, every character needs a purpose. History: How did your character get to this point? Why do they behave the way they do? The more in depth the better so we can know what makes your character tick. Explain also your characters reason for pirating/being a marine. Crew: Give the name and short description of your crew. Try and form crews before we start in this thread and then edit your character template with the correct info. It'll be more fun that way. Ship: What kind of transport does your character use to travel from island to island? Be reasonable in the beginning. If your character is starting alone, then chances are that they won't be traveling around in some huge Galleon. Marines always have a Marine HQ version of a boat. Specialty/Profession: What does your character specialize in (swordsman, cook, shipwright, navigator, etc)? Rank: Only for Marines. Starting characters can only have a maximum rank of Lieutenant. Please update this as your character gets promoted. Fighting Style: How does your character fight? Try and be as inventive and in depth as possible. Please list any named techniques and attacks here as well. Weapons: Describe the weapon(s) that your character wields, if any. Devil Fruit: Is your character a Devil Fruit user? If so, you'll start off with the fruit in its basic form. You cannot combine Devil Fruits. The Devil Fruit needs to be described, outside of how it works, what it can do, what it limitations are and some examples of use. (When putting up to be accepted, it should at least cover what it can do at starting level) Items: What items your character currently has, if any. Bounty: Your character starts off with no bounty. Bounties will be issued every week and will be raised according to your characters actions. Please keep this updated. Color: What color dialog you will be using in the RP, so its easy to distinguish the different characters in there.[/hider] I will add more as time goes on!
