Has "Casual" become the new "Advanced"?

'High Casual' has kind of always been a thing though, right? Even before guildfall you would see 'High Casual' tags for RPs in that section.

I've always viewed each section, at a basic level, as indicators for personal writing ability and progress. That's not to say that Free is solely intended for newer writers or those with less ability, but it's certainly easier for a newer member to view it that way at first. Which is why I think it's only right for the Casual section to have the most range/flexibility when it comes to writing length.

It's the best section for a writer to grow and improve because that's where you'll find writers of all ability levels ranging from Free to Advanced.

Name | Darius Black
Alias | Ruler
Age | 26
Gender | Male
Appearance |
Notoriety | Unknown
Danger Level/Variant Type | Class 3 / Distortionist

GRAVITY MANIPULATION:
Darius possesses the ability to control and manipulate the fundamental force of Gravity within a 30 meter radius. The true extent of his control allows him to alter the direction and intensity of the pre-existing gravitational force within that radius to suit his needs, as well as create and manipulate entirely new sources of gravity from within various inanimate objects that may enter or be already situated within his vicinity of control. This ability to create and control gravity also extends to living organisms too, although Darius is far more limited in his range of applications with regards to this aspect.

By manipulating how his own body responds to the gravitational pull of the Earth, Darius can effectively grant himself the ability to fly. He may also create a new source of gravity within himself to attract and repel objects to and from his own being, provided they remain within his control radius. In order to be able to directly affect how other living beings respond to his Gravity Manipulation, Darius must be touching and remain in continuous contact with that being.

LIMITATIONS:

• Whilst manipulating existing Gravity, or creating an entirely new source, Darius remains almost immobile, only being capable of moving his body at a significantly reduced speed until he has finished.
• The intensity of g-force used against living beings, other than himself, can not exceed 9Gs _{(Fighter Pilots may experience up to 8/9Gs with special suits to prevent fainting)}. In other words, Darius couldn't use his ability to force someone to implode or explode. The most he could do is force them to pass out with the chance of internal hemorrhaging, depending on how long he is able to maintain contact. _{(The effects of g-force don't actually affect Darius due to his proficiency of self-manipulation)}
• Objects that enter Darius' vicinity of control, at a velocity that any normal Human Being couldn't possibly register - Bullets, mostly - are unable to be directly affected by his Gravity Manipulation, unless he was notified of the object beforehand and fully concentrating on it during entry. _{(There's no way he could stop a hail of bullets. Maybe one or two, if someone were to literally point a gun at his head)}
• Darius may only concentrate on one aspect of his Gravity Manipulation at a time. Be it, altering the existing Gravity around him, creating/manipulating a new source within an inanimate object, creating/manipulating a new source within himself or creating/manipulating a new source within another living being via direct contact.

One Piece: Grand Cruise - A High Sea Adventure

Augustus D. Fletcher

"It's not my place to judge a man's soul, I simply make the appointment."

Name: Augustus D. Fletcher
Fletch, Quick-Trigger, North Blue's Menace.
Age: 20
Gender: Male

Race: Human
Height & Weight: 5'9" & 173 lbs

Personality:

• Self-Assured: Fletcher tends to face most problems with a confident outlook. Nothing is too difficult or challenging for him in his eyes and he readily believes that he can overcome most obstacles one way or another.
• Impulsive: Somewhat ignorant in most diplomatic situations. He doesn’t register danger as most others do and doesn’t always listen when it comes to taking the safe/quiet route. He enjoys a good scrap and is more then ready to pull the trigger whenever he's called upon. On some occasions he's even made the mistake of being too eager.
• Lazy: If there’s a quick way of doing something, a shortcut to follow or generally just palming something off for someone else to deal with, Fletcher will undoubtedly do it. He dislikes responsibility and will do his utmost to worm his way out of owning it, usually through more adventurous means.
• Frank: Fletcher is very forthcoming. He doesn't beat around the bush and often likes to tell it straight. Sometimes he can be too honest, going so far as to insult people with the bluntness of his approach at times. But this doesn't seem to faze him much at all, since he prefers to lay most of his cards out on the table so as not to be seen to ever be holding back.

Bounty: 37,000,000

Origin: Before joining the crew as a Pirate, Fletcher had made a name for himself as a highly-skilled Gunman and Bounty Hunter. And whilst his bounty-hunting activities generally kept him in the good graces of the World Government, there were several times where his rash-headedness landed him in altercations involving the Marines, leading to a short spell at Impel Down. Upon his release, the World Government decided they wanted to keep Fletcher on a short leash, given his tendency to lose control during delicate situations but it wouldn't be long until Fletcher would grow tired of being babysat by the Marines.

In his most reckless decision to date, Fletcher decided to go rogue during a Marine bust on a renown Devil Fruit smuggling operation, where he acquired the Bomu Bomu no Mi. His betrayal of the Marines led to an immediate bounty being placed on his head, but was only raised to its' current amount after he shot and killed a Navy Commander in a one-on-one duel during his escape.

Position: Blacksmith

Goal: Fletcher's goal is to become the World's Greatest Sniper.

Abilities:

Weaponsmith: Having grown up around most types of blade and pistol, Fletch has made himself proficient in maintaining, repairing & upgrading various types of weaponry. His skill is no more evident than by simply examining his figurative crown-jewels: Sasha and Teagan; a pair of flintlock .44 caliber 6-shot Gunblade Revolvers. In the past, whenever bounty-hunting jobs had slowed up, Fletcher leant on his abilities as a Weaponsmith to generate Berries in order to get by. Nowadays, he lends these talents to his crew, still for a price, but usually at a heavily discounted rate.

Sharpshooter: Despite being known for having a rather itchy trigger finger, there aren't that many occasions where Fletcher has genuinely missed. His crackshot aim is almost always overshadowed by the fact that he likes to shoot first and ask questions later, but there aren't that many who have remained to spread word of his aim and those who have, have made it their business never to cross paths with Fletcher again.

Proficient Swordsman: There have been only a few occasions where Fletcher actually decided not to shoot first, where instead he has been forced to utilize the razor-sharp edges of his Gunblades to dispatch of those unlucky enough to be on the wrong end. His attacks are a whirlwind of spins and strikes, slashing at his opponents from all directions. Although he has never really tested his mettle when it comes to swordplay, he has always managed to get by when it counts.

Bomu Bomu no Mi

The Bomu Bomu no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to make any part of his or her body explode, whether it be hair, saliva, or breath, making the user a Bomb Human.

Strengths: The fruit's main strength is that the user can turn their body parts into a bomb with no harm done to the user. The explosive quality extends to emissions such as saliva and breath. The fruit also grants immunity against all other explosions, as well as the ability to evaluate their quality.

Weaknesses: The fruit's ability only activates whenever the user initiates contact. Other than that, this fruit has no apparent weaknesses aside from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage:

• Breeze Bullets - Fletch blows into the chambers of his Gunblade Revolvers, then fires his breath as invisible exploding bullets.
• Big Blast Fist - Fletch punches his opponent, detonating his fist on impact.

Inventory:

• His prized pair of Gunblade Revolvers: Sasha & Teagan
• Clothes are as depicted above.
• Replacement Eye-patch.
• Weaponsmith's Tools
• Revolver Ammunition
• A Whetstone

Character Progression: I've intentionally kept Fletch's mastery of his DF relatively low as he's not long gained it. So a lot of his focus will be about that. I'm also considering whether to take him down the demolitionist route, as well as being a Sniper, which would line up with his DF somewhat.
As far as social progression goes, there's definitely a couple of interesting figures amongst his crewmates that he would be more inclined to get along with; Coyote instantly springs to mind given that they were both bounty hunters before joining the crew and also happen to both be D's.

Arc Suggestions:Maybe an Arc regarding Fletcher's parentage/origins. I've intentionally left them vague for now. I also like the idea of a "Brethren Court" (PotC) Arc, where Pirate Crews from all over the world are forced to meet to combat some sort of existential threat, whether that be the WG/Marines or something else.

One Piece: Waves of Change/Romance Dawn/Grand Adventure

@ProPro@Juro I was wondering about this myself, which is why I've hinted at Fletcher being the crew's Weaponsmith in his Abilities Section.

Still a WIP, but I just wanted to post what I had up until now. :D

One Piece: Waves of Change/Romance Dawn/Grand Adventure

@Juro Well that's excellent news! And I definitely wouldn't be opposed to you reserving/banning the somewhat overpowered DF's such as the Ope Ope, Ito Ito & Mochi Mochi for example, which are probably the 3 most broken ones.
