Heh. If you've go a Sniper in mind, then you can be the first to fill in the slot. xD

Morning~ =3

As for the crew name...it really depends on who's going to be the captain. If it's going to be Ryu, it'd be the Red Dragon Pirates. But if either of yours are the captain instead, then it depends on their particular characteristics, unless we want to name it off of a general concept instead, like the Heart Pirates or the Maelstrom Spider Pirates. xP

@grandia20 Heh. You're definitely not wrong. Dressrosa drags on for a while. xD It was actually kind of painful when it wasn't available for binge-watching. The whole arc took over two years to finish since it was a single episode per week. xD

Oh really? Wow, so you're already at the New World section then. xD How far into Punk Hazard are you? A word of warning: The arc that comes after that is easily the longest arc in the entire series up to this point. If you ever thought arcs like Alabasta dragged on, then you haven't seen anything yet. xD

Also, a Hider tag is like this:

That'll give you:

Awesome. =3 I'll wait until we have an OOC up before I repost my character. Then we can discuss this first mini-arc/introduction and the group's first obstacle.

@grandia20 Oh, if you need a new Devil's Fruit name, Toki Toki no Mi probably works better. I think that's more accurate to "Time-Time"

Also, "Soku-Soku no Mi" would work too. It could be the "Speed-Speed Fruit" and I think it better describes the power it has than "Time-Time"

Then a Fruit that would make you go fast could simply me the "Tata Tata no Mi" (aka the "Run-Run Fruit")...or simply the "Zoom-Zoom Fruit" though I dunno what the Japanese onomatopoeia for that is. xD

Hm...that's a tough one. The ability is very strong to say the least, as it can be used in numerous ways. So perhaps some extra limitations? Like...they only speed up/slow down for X amount of real seconds, they can only manipulate one target at a time, and can only do it at a certain percent (like...they move 50 or 100% faster/slower).

I state these limitations bearing in mind that characters will grow over the course of time and their abilities will get stronger as the crew overcomes challenges. Such as extending the amount of time, the amount of targets, and being able to manipulate speed with more variety (like being able to range it from 10-100% as necessary for example) or perhaps even speeding up immaterial things, such as wind.

And yeah, we unfortunately have a doctor character already, but the Time-Time Fruit could certainly come in handy if they were a cook or even a navigator. In the case of the latter, they could speed up the ship for hasty getaways. If they're a navigator, they would be able to tell the best times when to speed up/slow down and where to point the ship ahead of time.

@jynmi88

I think we have the basics of everything down. Usually, I prefer a PM as well, but it might be good to have a thread. The Characters tab will help us keep a record of the extra characters we inevitably make.

Eventually, we'll also all need to double up as we gain crew members...and we'll eventually need non-Devil's Fruit users as well. We'd probably want somebody who can save a crewmate if they get shoved into the water. xP Though that doesn't need to happen now of course.

@grandia20 @jynmi88

Heh. The crew gets back together on Sabaody, so I guess I know where you are now. So basically just have to remember not to mention anything about...pretty much everything after the timeskip. xP

Okay, cool. I suppose that works out great. xD Winter Saint works as a name for me. =3

The two of you could have characters going to the island for...well, any reason, really. xD (Perhaps they were even born there or something. Up to you guys I guess.)

Ryu, on the other hand, will have arrived to the island on a ship that exited the Grand Line through the Calm Belt using mercenaries for protection and be on the hunt for potential crewmates. Though I suppose we'd need something that would bring the three of them together. Like...if they got caught together in a fight somewhere or something? Or heck, maybe one of your characters are recruiting.

Whatever the case, I'm good with this if you guys are. Should we make it a PM or a board?

@grandia20 @jynmi88 Were we thinking of making this a three-way RP instead of a one on one? Because I'd be okay with that. I'll just have to remember not to say anything about what happens after the timeskip to avoid spoilers. Because...stuff gets pretty real and I'd hate to have it spoiled for me. xD

So, Grandia, you're at the Return to Sabaody Archipelago arc? Or are you finished with that arc and they've moved on?

@jynmi88

Heh. Sounds good. Though Mock Town is in the Grand Line, so we'd probably want an original town island that serve a similar function located somewhat close to the Grand Line, though not necessarily near Reverse Mountain. Perhaps in South Blue, since that has the least amount of stuff going for it so far? xD At least, as far as One Piece canon is going.

Also, I should probably know ahead of time. Are you up to date with the anime or the manga? I keep up with the anime myself, so I don't know more than the most recent anime episodes. Though if you don't know that much, I'd want to avoid spoiling anything if you want to go back to it. xD

I was thinking that it could start similarly to how the Romance Dawn arc starts in the anime series. Like...the island we start at is actually home to a Marine base and Ryu is just trying to avoid being identified as he looks for other potential sailors to become a pirate with.

Alternatively, it could be an island similar to Loguetown or Mock Town, where it's a gathering place for pirates and other outlaws. Then, perhaps Marine trouble is somehow stirred up. It'd be a good place for him to go looking for a crewmate or two...or simply becoming part of another existing crew as their medic.

I'd be good with either of them, honestly. =3 Or, of course, any ideas you might have.
