There is clear indication. Nothing ever states they predict. I mean when you react to lightning or take down scores of men after they have fired their weapons. Sure whatever. I dont care. So what about strength? Zoro threw a house early manga. I need to knew where you have it limited so i know where to extend myself without going too far

@Kal-El

The strength will be comprable with the strawhats at the begining of the grand line. I don't have a problem with eventually getting stronger than them rather quickly because I don't plan on having any kind of timeskip in the rp. Perhaps maybe as plot devices but not to suddenly power up.

[The Irish Tree]

<Snipped quote by Yorutenchi>

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the power scale of the RP due to my admitted lack of knowledge on the One Piece world (I'm currently right slap in the middle of the Alabasta arc, if that gives any indication of how far behind literally everyone else I am.) but considering that there are crew members that are capable of utilizing Haki, wouldn't someone using Sound-based powers in a similar vein to armament haki to cover themselves in a "sound armor" to move at sonic or supersonic speeds not be too out of place? It is possible my character wouldn't have had the fruit for long enough to know how to do that yet, but I assumed just being able to use haki pretty much allowed people to do superhuman feats such as dodging bullets, which typically move much faster than sound. Unless of course muskets can't do that in which case I'm stupid.

But yeah, the idea so far would be a Paramecia that lets him produce and manipulate sound waves through his voice or an instrument or etc. (supersonic clap, anyone?) for a variety of effects such as throwing his voice across certain distances and maybe echolocation due to superhuman hearing abilities. I dunno. I can scale him to whatever you think would be appropriate, since again, I don't know too much about One Piece, or I can always go the Doctor route unless @The Irish Tree's already made strides toward it. Don't want to step on any toes.

@Sloth

Yeah, I'm already working on my doctor. Scalpel Ninja ago-go.

Boez Cris

Name: Boez Cris

Age: 19
- Height & Weight: 5'4", 135 lbs (162 cm, 61 kg.)

Crew Position: Soon-to-be Musician

Place of Origin: Chantant Island, West Blue

Personality: Scourge of the West Blue and all around ne'er-do-well, Boez Cris is the kind of young man that seemingly can't keep himself out of trouble. Whether it be wooing the wrong governor's daughter and getting bounty hunters sent after him or accidentally destroying some poor old man's bar after consuming a Devil Fruit, Cris seems to fall into these situations purely at random, and has a tendency to curse his very existence whenever he finds himself in a bind.

When he's not running away from militias or swindling locals for his next meal ticket, Cris is just a guy who loves the thrill of adventure and conveniently managed to eat his way into sufficient enough power that he can generally punch pirates in the face before they run him out of town, or worse, put a bullet in his chest. Though his roguish nature and willingness to join a pirate crew solely to escape his outstanding bounty just goes to show that Cris may or may not be a bit of a soloist.

History: Born to unassuming parents on Chantant Island in the West Blue, Boez Cris had a relatively stable upbringing. From a young age he showed both great interest and incredible skill in the musical arts. From singing, to the harp, to the piano, Cris naturally took to any instrument he touched. Around the age of five, he picked up his first guitar at a local tavern. He loved the sound so much that he abandoned all other instruments and focused solely on the six-stringed hunk of wood.

His prodigious talent with musical instruments and vocal orating and natural charm made Cris quite the popular young lad with the ladies on his home island. One night, when he was performing at the local watering hole that had essentially become his second home, Cris' eye caught an unnaturally beautiful young woman who's name turned out to be Reid Marianne. After a night of passion, Cris found himself in the odd predicament of waking up in the nude to see a number of muskets aimed at him with an angry father (that, he was used to) yelling at the top of his lungs. Wishing his companions farewell and leaping from the second story window, Cris managed to escape his pursuers by stowing away on a commercial trading ship. Thus began the legendary tale of the Scourge of the West Blue!

Slowly but surely, Cris began to etch out his own story across the West Blue; such as when he managed to swindle a drunken pirate captain out of not only a sizable amount of Berries, but a devil fruit that Cris subsequently ate and discovered was the all too fitting Sound-Sound Fruit, though his encounter with the sobered captain the next morning was less than pleasant, as it resulted in the destruction of the tavern he had become a patron of, which resulted in him once again being run out of an Island, though this time he did manage to secure passage to a nearby Island on a transport vessel.

It was here, on Bairin Island, that Cris first became aware of his outstanding bounty, as only a week or so into his stay on the island, he was approached by a group of rough and tumble looking fellows that claimed to be professional bounty hunters. The ensuing scuffle resulted in a dead chicken, several burst eardrums, some poor woman losing her clothing, and a rather furious cabbage merchant. Once again, Boez Cris made a spirited escape by taking advantage of some poor sod's inability to guard his vessel! Yes, it was a magnificent day when Boez Cris, the greatest pirate to ever sail the West Blue, set sail from port in the Lady Luv, the damnedest dinghy you ever did see.

Sadly enough, Cris had the misfortune of landing on an island that functioned essentially as a rather large marine base. Though he managed to stay anonymous for a few days with clever disguises and a penchant for stealth, he was eventually caught with his hand around a mug by a stuffier pair of marines in the local watering hole. Half-drunk, Cris was halfway to jail before one of his captors spoke up about the bounty on his head. Realizing that he wasn't in for just a night of sobering up in a cell, Cris managed to take one of his new-found acquaintances hostage before alarm bells rang throughout the village. His fourth escape in almost a year, Boez Cris has once more set out to find his destiny, and hopefully an island without any bounty hunters or marines. And maybe some good beer. Considering he doesn't know spit about navigating, Cris has done a surprisingly good job making his way towards the Grand Line. The bad part? He doesn't know he's heading towards the Grand Line

Devil Fruit: Paramecia, Oto-Oto no Mi (Sound-Sound Fruit)

Fighting style: True to the name of his Devil Fruit, Cris' method of combat involves producing and manipulating sound-waves for a number of purposes, from amplifying the sound of his voice or guitar to such an extent that it can almost destroy a friend, or foe's, eardrums to simply hitting someone over the head with a guitar and sending them flying with the ensuing "sonic boom". As he's only been a Devil Fruit user for about a month, Cris has yet to fully gauge his abilities and just what he can do with them. Why he thinks he's ready to enter the Grand Line is anyone's guess.

Cris is also able to utilize his devil fruit powers outside of combat for a number of reasons. Most notably, Cris is able to mimic any sound he has heard though either his voice or his guitar. This can cause comedic effects when Cris can essentially act as a one man band by playing his guitar in such a way that it sounds like an entire ensemble with a female singing voice coming seemingly from nowhere. He has also shown the ability to 'throw' his voice across an unspecified distance in order to communicate with others that are out of earshot. The drawback to this, however, is that the other party has no way to communicate with him.

Cris is currently unable to use any form of Haki, as he has been pirating for the paltry length of about two and a half months.

Bounty: 3,519,000 for the following crimes:

• Deflowering the daughter of a World Noble (Chantant Island)
• Numerous counts of Underage Drinking (Various Islands across the West Blue)
• Destruction of Public Property (Hapu Island)
• Commandeering a private vessel in the form of a dinghy (Bairin Island)
• Evading Capture at Gita Island

[Eklispe]

Hm it seems you have several characters and the IC has already started, too late for me to join :?

[Animal]

I didn't even realize the IC started xD

[Yorutenchi]

Hm it seems you have several characters and the IC has already started, too late for me to join :?

@Eklispe

Not all all.

ACTUALLY ANNOUNCEMENT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you not in the IC currently it actually makes more sense to pick up a few along the way during adventures. Don't frent if you aren't already done with your characters!

We accept at any given time! There is no rush to get your characters done!

[Rin]

Oh, the IC started... I'll try and post later I guess.

...Still think Ira should change the colour he's using for dialogue because it makes his post unreadable (and it's kind of detrimental to the whole thing if people can't read someone else's IC posts without getting a migraine) but hum.

@Invisible@Kal-El@Eklispe@The Irish Tree@Rin@Ira@Renny@Boss Muffin@NubianLegend@Animal@bmxbrat484@sloth

IC IS UP! DON'T WORRY IF YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR CHARACTERS DONE YET! BECAUSE OF THE ADVENTURE STYLE OF THIS KIND OF RP WE CAN INTRODUCE YOU AT ANY GIVEN POINT!

For your reading:

Ahio

Name: Ahio F. Pardol

Nickname(s): None currently(To be developed as he becomes more well known)

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Height: 175cm(5’9)

Weight: 91kg(201lbs)

Personality:
“Not every step along the way has to be calculate, sometimes you just feel that the next step is the right step without thinking.”
Ahio is not the kind of man who falters when it comes acting and likes to put himself at odds with everybody even if it means fighting the world. He likes the challenge of proving people wrong, of proving that he can do anything and everything There is not a single instance in his life where Ahio has been forced to give up his dream of becoming the single greatest swordsman in existence simply because he couldn’t win a battle. Losing is an option but for him, it is meant to be the last option and only preferable to death. He lives by the code that all swordsman from his homeland live by; a cut to one’s back is dishonorable if it is received by running away. Once his loyalty is earned, he can be the most trustworthy man there is.

Status: Location; unknown believed to be alive and well.

Home Island/Sea: Tagimusha Island, Island of Samurai, North Blue Sea

History: Ahio is the youngest son of Higara Pardol of Tagimusha Island and the only one to be trained by the man known for fighting with two swords. From the time Ahio was strong enough to life a wooden sword he was trained to live by the standards of his people.

“It is not the strength of the sword but the strength of the man wielding it which will determine the outcome of a battle.”

For nearly twelve years these words were ingrained into Ahio by his father during training. His body and mind would lend strength to the blades he wields instead of relying on the strength of the blade to support him. A swordsman who relies on the blade is just as likely to fail as his steel is after using it too much. But, Ahio would not last long in his father’s care for old man Higara was dying and it would cause the greatest change in the young boys life. A few months before Ahio was to leave for the outside world, Higara died and gave him the greatest will the young man could ever receive. He came into possession of the Goro Goro no Mi which his father had received as payment a long time ago and was given his father’s swords, Jigon and Migurashi. Upon consuming the Goro Goro no Mi, Ahio became a man of lightning but has not quite developed the best control over his powers. Since then, he has arrived at an island near Reverse Mountain with hopes of setting off on an adventure to master his powers and become the greatest swordsman ever.

Fruit: Goro Goro no Mi, the Rumble-Rumble fruit. The Rumble fruit allows Ahio to become a lightning human, though he hasn’t quite begun to gain the control required to stay in his lightning form yet. Having only possessed the fruit for about two or three months, he is unsure of time span really, Ahio doesn’t quite possess the control to not cause massive damage to the surroundings and innocents around him properly. The longest Ahio has used his lightning form was thirteen minutes and even then it was unstable past ten minutes. Alternatively, he can turn his forearms into lightning and ‘throw’ blades of lightning. These blades travel around two to three meters with dissipating power after the first meter.

Fighting Style:

Primary: Nitoryu, two-sword style

•Two Sword Style: Pin Strike, Rather than using the full blade of his katanas, Ahio uses only the the tip of the blades to stab quickly as if using a rapier.
•Two Sword Style: Bolt, Using the Goro Goro fruit in tandem with his katanas, Ahio circulates lightning into the metal of the blades and can launch it for about two feet.
•Two Sword Style: Bull Charge, Ahio rushes towards his opponent with his blades set parallel to each other.

Secondary: Goro Goro no Mi, Rumble- Rumble fruit

•Rumble Rumble: Discharge, By focusing the powers of his rumble fruit into the tips of his swords or finger, Ahio can launch miniature bolts of lightning.
•Rumble Rumble: Twenty Bolt Strike, By using his blades in conjunction with his lightning powers, Ahio can launch twenty lightning blade with ease. Though, this attack isn’t very strong as the charge put into each blade is generally very low.
•Rumble Rumble: Thrown Lightning, Ahio focuses his powers into his forearms and hands and ‘throws’ blades of lightning at the opponent.
•Rumble Rumble: Lightning Blade, The Lightning blade is the pinnacle of Ahio’s current mastery of his powers. By assuming his state of lightning, Ahio can effectively be both a weapon and the fighter. In this state he forms two swords of lightning and use them as weapons instead of his actual blades. Ahio has used four lightning blades in his lightning form before but they drastically reduced his time in the form to five minutes.

Ship Position: Brawler

Bounty: 0

@Invisible

I will tentatively approve this. The lighting is going to be kept in check in a major way. For now you won't be able to use it to increase your speed to insane degrees and for the most part it will be used to enhance your physical attacks. I would also limit the range of your powers. This was the one fruit I was on the ropes about banning as well. Don't make me regret not banning it!

@Rin

Actually I agree. It doesn't bother me that much since I just highlight it so I can read it but I can find that it is easier to read that way.

[Ira]

@Yorutenchi@Rin
Color changed for IC posts..hope it doesn't bother eyes this time.

@Ira

Much better, thank you. ^^; And sorry for making a big deal about it. ^^;

[Ira]

@Rin Its fine. Just doesn't look very bright on my laptop. My brightness is turned down

[NubianLegend]

I just realized no one ever talked about their characters "dreams" and what not. This being one piece and all and the importance of dreams in the overall series.

[Ira]

@NubianLegend My character's dream will be explain thru IC as we progress

[Rin]

@NubianLegendHey, I made sure to note what Polly's dream was in her CS. XD

[Yorutenchi]

I thought about making a "dream" section. But I decided against it since it should be an integral part of your character's history and personality. Perhaps I should have added it to prompt certain kinds of characters though. I think it will be fine as is and it will definitly come up in the IC.

[Rin]

Not even a post in and Polly's already stealing stuff. Tsk, tsk...

Also I felt it made more sense for her to strap it to her ankle than her wrist, seeing how it probably wouldn't fit over her wings when she transformed into hybrid form. XD

@NubianLegend

I had mine in my cs. One piece is about achieving your dreams
