I got a couple announcements for you guys this Saturday! I’m very excited for the interest picking up, and I continue to love the characters and ideas being shopped around. I myself have stuff I’ve so excited to write it’s hard to stand.

I’ve been updating the OOC and character roster every so often, but today I did a somewhat more substantial revision, trying to add some bits for topics discussed and things I’ve thought about myself. Check the following sections (added and revised) if you want to stay up to date (that’s right, this RP has [i]patch notes[/i]):

[b]
Names and Name Order
Handling Season and Time
Power Restrictions (Voice of All Things)
For Great Justice – The Marines
Devil Fruit Clarifications (Another crack at defining Paramythia/Logia distinctions)
Races of the World (Fishfolk species)
First Come, First Serve

Regarding post dates, [@Hillan] and [@Yankee] will hopefully be posting today. [@LostDestiny] and I need to get one in tomorrow, while [@Daxam] has until the day after. [@Restalaan] has a little less than a week, or course. No penalty of course: you’d need three weeks of inactivity (without warning) to be labeled inactive and have your character removed from the roster, this is just a friendly reminder! Also, if anyone’s worried about post orders or the like, don’t. I’d rather not have double posting, not because of any thread related issues, but more regarding energy. I’ve seen a bunch of enthusiasm from players so far (mostly on the discord), and while I think it’s great, I just don’t want anyone to burn themselves out and lose energy/interest. The RP should be more of a slow burn than a flash in the pan, right?

Lastly, I’m going to try and do a weekly OOC question, to poke and prod you guys if you feel like answering. What I want to know is: do you remember your first One Piece OC? And/or the first character you used in a One Piece RP?

My first One Piece OC I came up with in highschool. Ryu was an old guy who fought with a quarterstaff. We was a veteran criminal with a [i]whopping[/i] bounty of 240 million beri (it was massive when I was in high school and the Water 7 arc was still ongoing, at least). I think later on I added some Cipher Pol stuff that he ran away from but I don’t even know. Slightly more interesting was the character I came up with as his captain, Ricoh! He was nothing like the firework himbo I’m using here, I just mostly kept the name lol. I think Ricoh used a sword and lost his hand at some point but kept using the sword anyway or something. He was also an asshole but not really in a fun way, and none of the characters minded. I actually kept developing this potential fanfic for years, and while it never saw the light of day, it was interesting to see my ideas evolve. I wrote like 2 chapters total and have probably rebooted the concept more times than I ever wrote chapters lmao.

My first One Piece RP character was [url=https://forums.serebii.net/threads/one-piece-the-second-grand-age-of-piracy.180377/page-3#post-5147051]a shipwright[/url]! He was pretty bland imo, but I think he was inspired by Fire Emblem (7, the GBA game), with the focus on him being royalty and all. I think he fought a character with a bone Devil Fruit? Idk it was over 15 years ago.

I’ve opened my closet and showed off the skeletons so you guys better open yours. >:[
