"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!"

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.

Hell yeah, I'm down.

What's the deal going to be with Devil Fruits?
I kinda already have an idea for a character that's based off of Mr. 5, just with dual Gunblade Revolvers and practically zero nose-picking. xD

@Archmage MC Uh, I'll tentatively say yes?

@Kalas I'm trying not to limit choices for Devil Fruits, unless it's extremely broken or makes things somewhat awkward. I'm kinda hesitant on having a crew of mythical zoans. But bomb man dual-wielding gunblades, more acceptable.

@Juro Well that's excellent news! And I definitely wouldn't be opposed to you reserving/banning the somewhat overpowered DF's such as the Ope Ope, Ito Ito & Mochi Mochi for example, which are probably the 3 most broken ones.

@Kalas I mean, I'm actually fine with those fruits since the overpowered part seems to come from the user's mastery over the fruit; at base form, I don't get the feeling of them being imbalanced.

Overpowered will probably be mostly logias, like the Light Fruit or Gas Fruit. I'll try holding off from picking the good fruit for NPCs though.
Also, included the CHARACTER SHEET TEMPLATE.

I have one question @Juro. Should the slime girl be a new race or a devil fruit?

@Archmage MC Hmmm. Possibilities on the top of my head would be Devil Fruit or a result of an experiment. The former would make the scope of her abilities more vast, the latter would have more limitations, but at least she won't have the weakness that comes with Devil Fruits. But don't get me wrong, we'll still need to work out the pros and cons of being a slime girl.

I'd be down for stealing a fun adventure-seeking idiot captain character! I love me some One Piece, my guy.

Except do the characters already know each other and are on the crew together, or are they going to be meeting each other?

@rhema13 Yup, they'll already be in the crew. For now, the plan is to have stories on how characters joined and character dynamics will be worked out in the OOC.

@Vongola_Hasayo Not to burst your bubble, but once I've decided on the participants, I'll let you guys decide on who the captain is gonna be.

Well, you certainly seem to have put more thought into this than most OP games that go out there, and even took a similar approach to what I did in my old OP game in regards to choosing the captain, and setting up crew relationships ahead of time. You can consider me interested. I've made about a thousand different OP characters so it's just a matter of choosing who I want to translate over here. Ideally I'd like to bring back my favorite, Captain Bartholomew K. Runch aka Cap'n Krunch, the "Cereal Killer" with his cereal based devil fruit, but his story won't work if he can't be guaranteed captain and if someone else is going for cook then I'd rather leave him on the table. That still leaves a buuunch of options though.

Edit: Might I suggest a tweak on the CS? A “job” or “position” category to denote what they do for the group? Obviously the captain/first mate won’t need to be something there but the actual jobs like cook, navigator, main fighter, swordsman, etc.

@ProPro@Juro I was wondering about this myself, which is why I've hinted at Fletcher being the crew's Weaponsmith in his Abilities Section.

I’ve got two ideas at the moment, what would people prefer to see?
1) A Fishman shipwright that can repair the ship on the go from underwater, that fights using a carpenter’s saw as a swordsman.
2) A mad scientist doctor that develops crazy drugs and poisons for combat enhancement, with a zoan devil fruit that turns her into a humanoid virus?

I have a few very rough ideas for potential characters. Looking them over, though, it turns out I have a lot of DF-based ideas here. I may want to broaden my horizons to other options.

The first one is basically somebody making use of the Bomb Bomb Fruit for much more varied uses than just "snot explode lmao". At this stage, though, that conflicts with Kalas' idea, and to be frank, I'd much rather avoid putting myself in direct conflict for a character spot with specific others.

The second would be somebody starting off without a Devil Fruit, making use of their innate power instead, but then later on acquiring a DF power for themselves. My powergaming self would really quite like that to be the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Daibutsu, but it's been discussed already why that might be disagreeable, so perhaps it'd be best to avoid such a thing if I go with this.

A third option would be some form of Logia user. I like Logias conceptually, but you've already stated that those may be concerning too, which puts it in the same problem area as the Daibutsu, albeit without the delay of acquisition to help ameliorate power scaling concerns.

Or I could go in as King Louie the Giant, ousted from his position ruling over a nation after accidentally eating the Ape-Ape Fruit, Model: Gigantopithecus. The gimmick, you see, is being as ridiculously massive as giant-ly possible. That, however, seems like more of an NPC concept than anything else, and may make sailing around much more difficult as a result.

Lastly, I could just go with a Paramecia of some sort. The Arms-Arms Fruit isn't bad, or I could make use of somebody who can drill very effectively.

@ProPro Number 2. Doctor Virus seems pretty fun.
