I’m a bit busy today, but can I claim three fruits for my character/crew? Listed below.


[hider=My Fruits]
Zoan Type: Bird Bird fruit Model: Piasa (Avery D. Jacks)

Paramecia Type: Bang Bang Fruit (Etta “the Sundancer”)

Logia Type: Steel Steel Fruit (“Iron Man” Barrett Talos)

I’m really glad you asked, since that allows me to further clarify a number of things.

The short answer is no, I won’t be reserving Fruits. The criteria I’ll be allowing them is based on character sheet, so I don’t see a reason to, especially not for original Fruits.

More importantly, while I understand that you said you’re busy, and it is a [i]very[/i] long OOC post, there’s information there that is still relevant to your request. One minor point is that a distinction between Logia and Paramythia type Devil Fruits is in artificial/processed vs natural substances. Steel is an artificial substance, and thus it would be a Paramythia type.

I also discussed multiple characters, and briefly touched on crew NPCs, but one angle I didn’t cover is types of crews (and I’ll edit the prior post to reflect this). In terms of the RP, Luffy’s crew would be entirely PCs, as all of them are highly developed, but not every crew needs to be like that. To give a more detailed example of crew NPCs, let’s look at Law. Bepo, while memorable, would be an important NPC, while Shachi and Penguin don’t even get visible eyes, let alone enough characterization to be more than NPCs. If he were a player in an RP, then Law would be the PC and the rest of his crew NPCs under his control, allowed due to the point in which the story takes place when he’s introduced.

Of course, your request might be for the long term, but since you were unclear, I just want to reiterate that a part of the RP is to have a focus on growth. If you were hoping to start off with 3 PCs and 3 Devil Fruits, then I’m sorry to say it, but that’s against what I’m aiming for with the RP. You’re welcome to start out with 3 characters, but two of them will be expected to be no more important or relevant than Bepo as the Heart Pirates Navigator. He has a role on the ship, memorable character with which to play off the others, but is ultimately tertiary to Law’s story. If you do want your other characters to have PC level importance like the Straw Hats, then you’ll have to wait to introduce them, like the other players have to wait to bring new PCs of theirs into the game. And as mentioned, I will be highly scrutinizing of Mythical Zoans, so if you really want to start the RP off with it, then I look forward to seeing an excellent character application where the Fruit is utterly integral to the character, rather than it being tacked on.

I hope I’m only jumping at shadows, and I am thankful for being able to cover some extra bases, but I hope that you give the OOC a good read through before you start your application, and I look forward to seeing it when it's ready!
