[i]"You want my wealth? My treasures? If you want it, you can have my fortune, it is yours for the taking... but you'll just have to find it first. I left everything I owned, gathered together, all of it in one place. In One Piece!"[/i][/center][hr][INDENT]Welcome to the world of One Piece!

I'll avoid beating around the bush and get straight to the point. The story I'm going for will be centered on the adventure of one pirate crew.  Including myself, number of members to start would range from 4-6. Ideally, someone else takes the role of captain, but in the event no one wants to, my character will be the captain by default. We can work on the dynamics and relationships of the members in the OOC along with the sequence of joining the crew. We'll be relatively strong with a certain level of infamy since we're the protagonists of the story.

Strength-wise, characters will be relatively be strong/skilled in their fields of expertise; let's say around the level of the Straw Hats during the Skypiea or Alabasta Arcs. Haki will be limited for now; but I'll allow it during certain situations or characters. I want us to build up towards it. 

Each island will be an arc in itself but how long it'll take will vary. We'll have timeskips between islands and some times within longer island arcs. It'll hopefully be plot driven, but can change in the fly depending on the outcomes of each arc.

Posting frequency will be once weekly, but under the assumption that everyone is mostly at home given the pandemic, we can have things move faster if need be. World-building will be gradual, and I'll start of with major figures such as the Admirals, Emperors, and Warlords. Then the rest will intermittently added or added on an as needed basis.

My character will be a young adventure-seeking Skypiean. Can fill the role of a navigator, first-mate, shipwright, inventor, or doctor. He'll be more practical and cool-headed as a crew member, but as a captain, he'll be more reckless and  impulsive.

We won't be following "first come, first serve" for character application. Lastly, consider the story to take place in an alternate One Piece universe. The events that led up to the start of the original story still holds true, but the rest, like the Straw Hats, never existed unless stated otherwise.

I'll post the template for the character sheet later today. Doing it on my phone takes more effort.
