“Tell me, Elders! World Nobles! What are you hiding!? What is in this world you’re looking down on that you’re so afraid of!?”

In the year 1632, Age of the Sea, these words rang out across Marie Geoise, the capital of the world, during the largest attack ever staged against the World Government. Avalon “The Devil” Duskar, the worst pirate in history, leading his infamous legion, staged an unprompted two prong attack on the Red Line. It took over a decade for the surrounding area to recover, and the loss of life on both sides was tremendous. The Warlord system was established, the Government forgiving the crimes of pirates to add another layer of defense after their major facilities were crippled, while the Abyssal Call was disbanded, Avalon and many of his most elite men vanishing from history. And yet, while the fallout was well known and researched, the question the world never learned the answer to was ‘why’? Avalon had supposedly circumnavigated the globe, becoming the first to reach Lodestar Island at the end of the stretch of ocean still known as the Devil’s Seas where he had reigned. Was he unsatisfied without lands to further conquer, though rarely heard rumors mentioned another island somehow beyond? And what did he believe the World Government was hiding from the world as he lashed out? While those sacrificed might know, their lips are sealed by 6 feet of soil as the World Government buries them with a sin of 800 years.

One Piece: The Devil’s Due will be a player-driven, open(ish) world RP set in a world of One Piece lacking any canon characters. Influenced by the Absolute Comics style Superhero RPs, my aim is to find a balance between multi group and single group One Piece RPs. Multi group games allow players more room to move, but often without direction. Single group games have more focused narratives, but are particularly vulnerable to the inevitable loss of players. With The Devil’s Due, players join under the expectation of being able to give themselves direction and work with other players to develop characters, conflicts, plots, and otherwise tell their stories without needing a GM every step of the way. As such, this game is Advanced, as players are expected to be active, not reactive. I will be contributing as an overseer, with both my own characters and with ‘GM Arcs’ in which I’ll take a more active role in the stories of PC groups at times. I’m very excited to expand on this version of the world of One Piece with you all!

I’ve already got a lengthy OOC cooking, but probing for interest never hurt anyone! I'll also take any questions~

Canon Fruits will be allowed! There's a small number that will be hard banned (the Gum-Gum fruit, the Dark-Dark Fruit, and the Op-Op Fruit, due to canon importance I'd rather not put on the table right away), and I currently have no canon Fruits reserved for NPCs. My hopes is that anyone applying with a canon Fruit will aim to use it in a way all their own, be it developing its abilities in a sensible but interesting direction, or it being so fitting to a character that nothing else makes sense. I'll also be a bit apprehensive towards Mythical Zoans. But with an interesting enough character concept, I think I'll be comfortable with just about anything!

I don't normally join advanced RP's, but this sounds like too much fun to pass up. Are we allowed multiple characters?

Multiple characters will be allowed after some commitment (about a month of activity).

If you're worried about the Advanced requirement, I feel as though Casual has a huge amount of players who are more than capable of Advanced, and I marked the game as Advanced more for my expectations and hopes that players will be proactive and communicative. As long as you keep that in mind, there should be plenty of fun storytelling opportunities for you!

I’m very interested in this! I actually have my own crew that I designed for the One Piece world so I’d be stoked to bring them to life! Obviously, I’d mainly play the Captain character, but I can keep the other major members to the background.

The RP's very much still going and accepting new players always! There've been some really fun and creative characters that I feel would be tough to fit into another One Piece RP, making the game feel very unique to me (and this is coming from someone who's tried a number of different styles for a One Piece RP, this one being one of the more successful ones). I've also been really happy with the posts thus far, and watching the world begin to be fleshed out on individual scales (with larger ones in the works behind the scenes), is super fun to see. We've been trucking for a couple months now, but the game has plenty of room for more players!
