Just wanted to know everyone's opinion, geez. :)


You also asked on some advice too, which we all gave. xD

Honestly the entire point of a One Piece RP seems to be going on adventures like the Straw Hats do and pursuing all the different goals--find One Piece, find All Blue, become the strongest swordsman, etc--so removing the whole "do what you want cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate!" aspect of it would kind of defeat the purpose in my opinion. Unless these new marines have undergone vast reforms and aren't as Knight Templar as they are in the canon, being Pirates would probably suit the story much better.

As for whether it should be set in the future of canon or an AU, my vote goes to an AU where the canon characters have simply all been replaced by either player characters or NPCs of some sort. This would allow the GM to create their own Seven Warlords, Four Kings, so on and so forth. It would, however, be more work for the GM. Again, this is where communication with players can come in handy--you could potentially offer players that you think would do a good job of it the task of designing such important setting NPCs, as long as they don't end up doing things like "I call dibs on making a Four Kings character!" and try to use that as their MAIN player character. It'd be a balancing act to make sure people don't powerplay or intentionally bring the fleet of a warlord down on some first timer pirates just for funsies and to make themselves look "so extra special badass and cool."


remember if your doing all the warlords and emperors or whatnot, you don't need to do them all at once, only bring them up when relevant. Just like the show!
@JabberEh... I'd rather do an AU kind of thing where we take the place of the Straw Hats, really. ^^; That premise doesn't seem to be doing anything for me, honestly.


This.
I mean, if you want, I can just make it straight regeneration. However that more or less keeps her the same, but makes her lose almost all her weaknesses. toonforce actually kinda nerfs her except if going against reality warping powers. If you want that, I can do it sure, but remember, no more weaknesses. Also makes her a bit more run of the mill tbh.
BTW, if I do join, I'll either join as a toon sorta person. (Reason being is that the alternative, regeneration on its own, is actually stronger as it doesn't have as many weaknesses) Or as another char that will make you have to really think about your villains, otherwise he'll just oneshot them due to basic logic.

Going to be honest: the one I know you're thinking of doesn't make sense in One Piece. ^^;


well TBH One Piece is a Japanese Western Superhero show with Pirates instead of Superheroes. So anything can happen.
Hey. I can help out with that. First...

1. One Crew, unless you give every crew someone who can use rapid transportation. Running more than one crew doesn't work in such a closed world like One Piece. If this was say, Naruto, Bleach, or the like where rapid transport is a thing and/or the world is the size of japan instead of say, the size of the WORLD, you can have different factions.

2. A Heroes Journey might be the best storytyping to keep everyone together. If people wanna be the temporary bad guy, you can let them no prob, but the main chars should just be the 'straw hats', if that makes sense while you handle the arcs and stuff, with other players maybe making villains if they so wish.

3. DO NOT be anal about powersets or characters. The less restrictive you are on stuff that aren't outright broken, the better things will be. Lots of RPs died after starting due to being too restrictive on character design.
Here ya go. I've balanced her out pretty well.

Only toon trope I can't figure out how to balance, is that instant teleportation thing. You know, Toon is chasing someone, when that someone gets away from being super fast, the toon 'teleports' behind them ike a weeping angel? I think Weeping Angel mechanics could balance it, but thats still super super fast. Thats why its not on the list atm.

Light was always balanced! :P I never had a problem with her! I don't think? But anyways, hi! C:

@Rakurai

A potato is always here but never seen! *disappears into smoke*


xD. A lot of RPs I've been trying to join have had a major problem with her for some reason or another. Course those RPs also haven't done so well. Died around what... post 60 at best? xD.

I forget, were you multiverse, or that other one with Savato?

@Rakurai My chars gotta be a child thingy since she will either have Toonforce, or Deadpool regen. Can't make that work with technology.
