One Piece: Quest For Justice.[OOC]

[Hillan]

IC | Char Bin | Collab Site

In the age of pirates, started by the death of Gol D. Rogers, the world is filled with ruthless savages. Pirates who are plundering cities, pillaging villages murdering and destroying. Their only true need is destruction and discord. They are true evil, they are injustice. They are a cancer in this world. However, there are still people fighting for good, fighting for what's right, fighting for the rights of the people all over the seas, there are still some fighting for justice, men and women who everyday puts their lives on the line to put an end to this Pirate Mayhem.

These people are the Marines, and they want YOU."

This RP will obviously be set in the One Piece universe. It's gonna be an alternative universe, with the only plotpoint that's the same as in canon is that Gol D. Roger was the pirate king.

We will be playing as the marines of the 108th base, positioned in North Blue. Due to certain events that will unfold, we will be driven into the grandline, to continue our search for justice. Who knows, maybe we'll become the greatest marines in history, maybe we'll die in the process, or maybe we'll find that not everything is as black and white as it might seem.

108th Base:

Located on Campus Island, home of the Medulla Kingdom, the 108th Base is quite out of the way in comparison. The Capital lies at the foot of Mount Basal, a dormant volcano. A large tunnel, gates on either side, leads to the base, built into the other side above the coast, where the docks lie. The only other dock on the island is on the other side, and the closest beach is several miles down the coast. The facilities and buildings of the base are on separate levels. Level 0 is the docks. Level 1 is storage and sleeping quarters. Level 2 is medical facilities, practice grounds, and some miscellaneous areas. It is the largest, making use of the biggest plateau on this side of Mount Basal. Level 3 is a little farther from Level 2, than 2 is from 1, but it has the tunnel entrance, a lighthouse, bookeeping offices and higher class Officer Quarters.

Not finished but it is a start.

Name: Kita Diane Armstrong
Rank: Lieutenant
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Crew Position: Shipwright

Personality: Kita has been described as a lazy but confident man and someone you can rely on by his comrades. He is smart and has a great sense of humour; especially when he is drunk. He believes in his own methods of doing things not abiding by any other methods, he is very laid back and only speaks words when he feels that he needs to. When people are in his presence they tend to find it hard to speak to him due to the way he gives off a natural presence, making them silent. Normally Kita is the one to start and finish a conversation, he is very hard to predict and tell his emotions due to him having a natural pokerface, he stands out in crowds and is very easy to notice and pick up on. Due to his nature of being loud but smart, he can deliberately throw his opponent off guard by shouting out random words. His mind is always working as described by Gunner, as when they first met within a few minutes Kita had picked up on how much a threat and how dangerous Gunner was.

Kita takes no pride whatsoever in his family, as he gets drunk and badmouths his family when he gets drunk. Although he is smart, people describe him as too laid back because he decides he deserves a break, which gives him the mind set to start drinking. When he is drunk, he is near impossible to talk to and try and get him sober. Kita never knew what family was as his was always roaming the seas, this was the main reason why he joined the marines, although he disrespects the marines sometimes, he repays them by contributing greatly to their needs. He rarely ever gets into arguments as when he senses one is about to start he just walks away from them.

Kita's lazy side can sometimes be very annoying, due to whenever someone tries to start a serious conversation with him, he ends up dozing off or just walking off due to the lack of interest or tiredness. Kita has also shown his lazy side in battle, by not putting hardly any effort into it at all. He has shown a compassionate side as he never finishes his opponent in battle, instead capturing them or he just lets them run free as a warning to them. Kita can have a completely different personality in battle, but it is normally dormant, as Kita describes "It is my other being", he also says that it can only be activated by triggering a serious emotion or by continuing to wind him up. In this different personality he becomes relentless and starts to attack the enemy with no break, using lots of his power. In this form he becomes maniac and he shows no mercy

Kita has been shown to be fearless as he will take on unknown pirates or Fishmen, without a doubt in his mind. Kita is very charming and kind towards the women, he flirts a lot but ends up being dragged away by other members of the Marines before he says something disrespectful. Kita can change emotions on his face to manipulate women to his advantage, he often acts like an innocent man who deserves more in life, this shows his more selfish side. Kita is also very clumsy as when he is tired he ends up knocking stuff over and getting shouted at for it.

Kita can be relied on for many tough jobs, as he is looked up to not for his foolish personality but his heroic side of his personality. Kita can be serious when he knows his friends are in danger, to him he wants to keep them safe because he never had a chance with his family. Kita is considered one of the most caring because of how he values of being able to act like a big brother to Lance, Seri, and Quas. Kita has also shown musical interest, when he is not lazy and not busy, he ends up playing his guitar, he usually does it to impress girls. Kita has even stated "If someone touched my guitar or interrupted me during my practice....I WOULD KILL THEM!". Kita is very serious about his guitar, as it takes his mind off of the current events. Kita definitely is someone who is fun, especially at party's, people love to talk to Kita when he is drunk because of the random stuff he says to make them laugh.

Kita has also shown his sarcastic side to people, he often uses it in battle to anger the enemy, changing their course of action. He often plays with his opponents while insulting them, normally to show off his power, Kita has developed a reputation for being annoying in battle.

Appearance:

Skills:

Swordsmanship Specialist: Kita is a swordsman of great caliber despite not being "classified" as a expert. Regardless, Kita's style is an agile and very active style. He doesn't use an aerial-oriented style, but rather simply moves as a snake would through the ground. Mimicking an opponent's moves with his own, he parries and counters, twisting and turning, he uses his powerful swords in battle with great skill. Although his skill is high, he has one flaw, which is inexperience. He is unable to keep up with swordsman who have been fighting for years on-end, considering the amount of experience a masterful swordsman possesses, they are able to alter their movements in only a moment, causing a disruption in Kita's own movements, thus, preventing him from being able to defeat them. Regardless, his skill in swordsmanship has high expectation, considering he was able to create the powerful style through much research and the arts of mimicking, which, as many have said, is the "true" art to a fighter.

Equipment:

Devil Fruit: N/A
Type:
Description:

Fighting Style:

Koūnryūsui (行雲流水 Floating with the Tide)- a brand of swordsmanship, formed by Kita after much training with the Fishman known as Kanbei. Both in traditional swordsmanship and the arts of Fishman Karate, Kita, despite his natural talent, didn't have the necessary strength to truly be able to use the arts perfectly. Yet, after obtaining Fetta and Stricia, Kita made a revelation to form such a style that would become the union of Fishman and Humanity.

A style still in it's development, Kita's study of the Fishman Karate and ability to use the moisture in the air to create an intense build up of force which, when making contact with any being, causes immense blunt force. However, due to his blades being unable to do that, Kita, through still ongoing interpretation, is attempting to in a sense, convert this brand of combat into swordsmanship, while still retaining his own, unique flair.

This style, when looked upon from a swordsman's view, is a style completely dedicated to what is known as "Flow". As it's name would suggest, Kita doesn't attempt to counter an opponent's strategy or technique. But he simply finds a way around it. Involving much acrobatic maneuvering, extremely skilled footwork and precise swordsmanship, very few are able to completely evade every strike that Kita commits to. Rotations and timing make up the bulk of this style, using the build up of force and speed to cause water molecules to gather and release from his blade in highly pressurized bursts, able to shear through even reinforced skin with ease. Yet, this style possesses a noticeable flaw. The build up of energy is not everlasting, and rather, when these highly pressurized blasts of water are released, force begins to gradually decrease, as the blasts are eventually dispersed. Yet, Kita continues to refine this particular style of combat, using whatever means and resources he has access to, as to do so.

Like the Fishman Karate, Kita's attacks are able to directly influence the currents of water. Although not to the grand extent that Fishmen are capable of, Kita's own rotational build up of force gives him the capability to cause a momentarily alteration in a current's direction, and doing so, is able to cause water to essentially move along with his blade.

Backstory: Should adequately explain why your character is who he is and how he got there.

[Pacifista]

Name: Truuni Culveri
Rank: Seaman Apprentice
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Crew Position: Apprentice Cannoneer

Personality: Truuni is still quite new to the Marines, and thus very green. She has her training of course, but she lacks precision and gets nervous. Her clumsiness shows in the way of several burn scars and bandages on her person, from accidents and her own experimentation regarding her choice of weaponry. She tries to be as polite and kind as she can, but she can explode if pushed, though she will generally regret it later. She is prone to talking more than she should, and she sometimes forgets important things. She has her own personal views on Justice, likely inherited from her father. She feels that Marines are symbols of hope and justice, while pirates, bandits, rebels, and other criminals should be exterminated. These black and white views fall within Absolute Justice, but she has neither the power or will to emulate some of the most infamous followers of Absolute Justice.

Appearance: Truuni is a little shorter than average in height and thin, if well developed. She is fully grown, and isn’t going to get any taller. Her light brown hair hangs just above her shoulders, and is chopped unevenly. Her Marine cap is figuratively glued to her head, as she sometimes forgets to remove it. She has dark blue eyes and a small round nose. Her right arm and some of her right torso has several burn scars, often covered in bandages. They are starting to heal though, so they don’t hurt too much.

Truuni typically wears the standard Marine uniform: the aforementioned cap, white short-sleeved shirt, long, navy blue pants, blue neckerchief, and black boots. She also wears a pair of black, impact resistant gloves, typically worn by trainee cannoneers to prevent getting too many smashed fingers. When in casual environments, she wears less baggy pants, t-shirts, and sandals, keeping her garb simple.

Skills: Aside from general sailing skills and knowledge, Truuni knows artillery inside out, especially cannons. She is still in training to become an official cannoneer.

Equipment: Aside from the standard issue rifle and sword, Truuni has a hand cannon, usually slung on her back. It fires smaller cannonballs, but still has great destructive potential. It is based off of an old design however, so it isn’t unknown for it to blow up in Truuni’s face. She’s still tinkering with it though, and hopes to make it workable eventually. The main innovation isn’t it’s size, but rather its speed: the fuse is short, and it is lit by shoving a match into a small hole, lighting it from there, rather than letting a long fuse burn, and needing to replace it every time the cannon is loaded.

Devil Fruit: N/A
Fighting Style: Truuni fights with her hand cannon, which is simple in its destructive abilities. It takes about a minute to reload however, along with gunpowder and custom, smaller cannonballs.

Backstory: Truuni hails from the kingdom of Lyneel. She lived in the port town of Myness for most of her life, with her mother and grandparents on her father’s side. Her father was a Marine, and was rarely at home, often out patrolling the Blue. During his visits home, Truuni’s father, Captain Tiller, a man near the top of chain at the South Blue Branch Headquarters, would tell many tales to entertain his daughter. With pirates as the antagonists of most of these tales, she got a very black and white view of pirates and other ne’er-do-wells. Although not pressured any by her father or grandfather, a retired Marine cannoneer, she sought to join the Marines when she reached adulthood. At 16, her father personally took her to the main recruitment center nearby the Branch Headquarters.

She caused quite a stir, being the daughter of such a notable Marine in their corner of the world. Much was expected of her, but she didn’t exactly deliver. She performed at a fairly average level, and although some were disappointed, her father couldn’t be more proud. He hadn’t expected her to follow this course of life, but he would have been proud no matter what. After training was complete several months later, Truuni was stationed at the Branch Headquarters, alongside her father, Captain Tiller Culveri, and many other Marines. She began to seek interest in further training as a cannoneer, oddly enough. Normally, cannoneers were selected randomly or notices were put out when one was needed, so she wasn’t denied. She excelled at the basics, as she had absorbed much from her grandfather’s ramblings.

After taking a short leave, she returned home to her interested grandparents and mother. She spent a few days going over her experiences at the Branch Headquarters and recruitment center. Before she left, her grandfather, the person most interested in her tales, gave her a folder of documents. All of them were ideas for cannons or cannon based weapons. Grandpa Culveri began going over them with Truuni, figuring that she could put them to better use than her. She couldn’t decipher too much of them, but recognized enough to realize that with, a bit of work, she could use, test, and perfect these designs. She returned to the Branch Headquarters with these documents, entertaining possibilities of going over them with her cannoneer instructor as well.

In her free time, she worked closely with Marine blacksmiths and the head cannoneers to try and put one of the designs to use, specifically, a small hand cannon. It took quite some time and convincing, but eventually she had the device to work with. She tested and practiced with it, making modifications when necessary. She had never really put it to use though. Then, one day, a particularly brave group of pirates attacked the base, having banded with another crew, both intent on retrieving the prisoners being held at the Branch HQ. Truuni, however, did little to help, as, do to fear of being in her first battle, she made an extremely dangerous mistake, causing the large cannon she was operating to malfunction, causing an explosion that badly wounded her, knocking her into unconsciousness.

Pirates eventually overwhelmed the part of the base Truuni was stationed at, and ignored largely because she was not conscious enough to opposed them. However, when Captain Tiller heard that her daughter could possibly be dead, he himself single-handedly went to her daughter’s aid, even defeating a pirate who held a bounty on the way. The attack was repelled, the losses accounted for, and the day won. However, Captain Tiller was harshly chastised for his actions. His reckless charge endangered both himself and any who went to his aid. Rather than a demotion, instead, the ‘punishment’ was much simpler. Truuni Culveri was to be reassigned when she recovered from her injuries. After several weeks, the date of reassignment was moved up when it was determined that Captain Tiller was becoming to unfocused due to his daughter, and she was sent to be stained at the 108th Base. There she continued to heal, preforming duties despite slight injuries. She was eventually assigned to one of the patrol Divisions that was mainly stationed at the base, under a certain Commander Lance.

[Hillan]

Accepted.

[Hillan]

Name:
Churute "Lance" Kil.

Rank:
Commander

Age:
19

Gender:
Male

Race:
Skyman

Crew Position:
Commanding Officer.

Personality:
A proud and brave man, you'd never find him going back on his word, never fret in heat of battle. He is disciplined and he'll always stay that way. That's not to say that he cannot cut loose, because he can. He enjoys rum and good company. Definitely of the opposite gender. He is well aware that there's a lot on his shoulders, being rather young, but also put into such a position where responsibility is so important. Where every mistake he'd do could lead to disaster.

He likes to try and distract his mind from this, by meditating. Something he does constantly. Channeling spirits, taking on their essence for no other purpose than to clear his own head. He's not a believer in Absolute Justice. Sometimes, good people do bad things, and vise-verse. He's always there to help people out, be it to help a fellow marine out with their training, or to help a civilian carry their groceries.

He speaks with a rather soft tone, he sounds collected, as if nothing worries him.

Appearance:
Tanned- Indian skin.
6'6. Long black hair, usually tied back into a folded-pony-tail.
Brown eyes. muscular build. Always wears a Bandanna of a random color and Aviators.
Has a scar over his eye and a tattoo on his back. Rather handsome. His wings being 0,5 meters long each.

He wears Black-Jeans like clothes with brown leather shoes under his White and blue Vest with it's Navy-Logo, the typcial scarf is tied around his neck.
He wears black leather gloves, and a sheath on his back for WolfBlade. On occasional he wears the Marine-Hat, but that's practically only when some higher ranked officer besides Edward is at base. In a serious fight he usually throws off his vest, as his wings are stuck under it and having his wings being pushed down by the vest tends to get frustrating for him.

Equipment:
WolfBlade:
A Tomahawk given to him by his mentor.
Devil Fruit:
N/A
Fighting Style:
Utilizing hand to hand combat, as well as a the use of his Tomahawk in battle, Lance is a rather powerful melee fighter, able to match most enemies both in strength and speed, using his Torokoharu. The Rokushiki is the more militant form of the Torokoharu.

Techniques:

The Torokoharu allows him to use his technique very varied, and with practice he can learn to call upon and harness the energy of a spirit.

"Tokalaka"
The Defense Of The Armadillo.
He calls upon the thick and hard body of a Armadillo to protect him. He can't move while using the Tokalaka.

"Resku"
Swift Like A River
Resku increases his overall flowing motions, allowing him to dodge more easily, as if he was a floating stream, it can also be used to allow him to strike swiftly. His hits aren't very powerful, and should he get hit his defenses are severely lacking while using the Resku.

"Lekarru"
Flight Of A Hawk
Allowing him to seemingly jump mid-air. He can use multiple Lekarrus in succession.

"Charuku"
Claw Of A Wolf
It enhances his attacks, making him hit both faster and harder.

"Keltu"
Coyote's pursuit.
Enhancing his speed greatly, allowing him to seemingly vanish, before reappearing a short distance away.


"Arsuni"
Strength Of The Ox
Greatly increases his strength, at the cost of agility.


Backstory:
Born on the grand-line, his mother a Skywoman, his father a Marine officer. The latter saved the former from pirate captivity, and they enjoyed a life together. The Marine officer lived on an island called Shiroda in the grandline. There, there was a tribe that had taken care off him and his fellow marines. Giving them food and other necessities Lance's father had gotten orders to set up a base on Shiroda, said and done, taking 8 months to build the 49th base of the Grandline. He befriended the tribe, becoming great friends with the shaman there, the shaman's name was Loshu, Lance's fathers name was Kelur. Kelur learned that Loshu came from another island, originally, that his entire tribe did. That there was a kingdom of their tribesmen in the new world. That without their teachings, the Marine never would've founded one of their greatest combat forms.

When Kelur's first, and only son came into the world, he was brought into the tribe, as was his mother, as Kelur saw it more fit for them to embrace their heritage with the tribe that shared similar traits with the skypeople. However, Kelur took to teaching Lance the importance of Justice. Wanting his son to have the choice to either become the next Shaman of the tribe, or follow in Kelur's footsteps, and become a marine.

Lance was trained by Loshu as a Shaman and in the ways of the Torokaharu. Learning how to meditate, how to keep his cool and how to channel and control the power of spirits. How he could use his own discipline to enhance his strength. He showed great potential as a shaman, Loshu felt confident that Lance could become a powerful Shaman, and that Lance could fulfill Loshu's own dream of seeing the kingdom of their tribesmen. To see the glorious lands of the New World.

At the age of 12, Lance made his choice. He continued training his Torokaharu, but he also joined the marines. Training four years at the base off his home he spent one year at the Marine Headquarters, Marineford. He did several missions on other bases, being sent around on multiple assignments to strengthen his powers and hone his skills.A year later it was decided that his promise and skills as a marine soldier earned him the right to become commander off a base in the North Blue. The 108th base. He would be the commander over a group of marines that had been specially noted, the commodore of the base, Edward Newton would supervise all of his leading moves. It would be his first time leading something this large, managing a branch of a base on an island as big and sprouting as the Campus Island. It would certainly prove a challenge, given that the island is fairly close to the grandline.

[Mastermind001]

Mind if I bring in Franz Heisenberg?

[Hillan]

That would be fine.

[Mastermind001]

Name: Franz Heisenberg
Rank: Chief Petty Officer
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Race: Skyman
Crew Position: The Sniper

Personality:

Franz is an educated gentlemen with a high IQ. He carefully observes problems or what he deems as problems, makes a hypothesis and then attempts to prove a theory with the resources around him. His intellect is also matched by his creative side as his solutions are often quite strange or unusual. Even his approach to problems can be a little unorthodox, but this because he's quite playful.

He hardly lets his anger get the best of him. Ugly emotions like that are usually contained and only let out at the right time. However, when it can't be contained or controlled, its an explosion. Acts of cruelty, and violence tend to be quite a sore subject with Franz and the more he witnesses such things the more he gets closer to his breaking point.

The one thing that is usually on his mind and is surprising not a sore subject is the fact that he has some memory lost. He's knows his name, various subjects, but nothing than more than that. Another thing that would annoy him is being called a Dandy or an insult directed towards his mustache

Appearance:

Franz Heisenberg has a slender frame with pale skin. Attached to his back are small white wings hardly used for flight and two small antenna with spheres on top. Heisenberg also has brown hair, a brunette, and the way it kept is quite curly and messy. No facial swears, but he has a nicely trimmed curly mustache. The color of his irises is a nice bright blue.

If Franz could he would prefer a suit. However, he does wear the typical marine outfit with a cap. His shirt is neatly pressed much like his pants. His belt black, and his shoes nicely polished. On his hands are usually gloves and keep on at all times so that nothing goes wrong.

Skills:

->Sharp Shooter Gunman
Any gun be it a rifle, a pistol, or a bazooka, hell even a cannon is a dangerous weapon in Franz's steady hands. He has an excellent understanding of trajectory, capable of making such calculations in his head for projectiles. Through he doesn't have the agility like other fighters, his reflexes and quick draw can match their speeds. Eye sight is 20/20 .

->Gadgetry Weapon Smith

Franz has a knack for crafting. Give him a tool box, a room, some bits and pieces, and some time, and Franz can make something wonderful, but this involves items anything else, there is a reason he isn't a handy man. Now despite being a man of peace, he really does have a talent for making deadly weapons or developing things that can enhance weapons and a user's skills like a pair of goggles.

->Trap Master

Be it beasts or more intelligent beings, Franz will probably trap it in someway or at some point. He usually takes note of the environment and the weather first, and then will study his attended target from a far (if he gets the chance) to get a good understanding of what he is working with. However, building traps also gave Franz a greater understanding of disarming them, be it either setting them off early or taking out a crucial piece.


Equipment:

-Flame Dial
-Heat Dial
-Axe Dial
-Breath Dial
-Tone Dial
-Water Dial
-Jet Dial
-Flash Dial
-Vision Dial
-Bazooka
-Pistols
-Rifles

Devil Fruit:

Breath-Breath Fruit

-The Breath Breath Fruit is a Paramecia devil fruit and is the type that effects the environment and the user's body. Now what Franz has figured out is that he can breath life into things and cause them to sprout an eye, arms and legs. It also has altered his lungs expanding the capacity of air he can breath in and exhale, making a gust of wind capable of knocking down a man. Now the only items that can be affected are inanimate objects, substances, powders, nothing living or organic matter for that matter can not be effected by his fruit. Items affected tend to follow the commands of the user, being Franz. The how he breaths life into inanimate objects is by blowing into his hands and then touch said item. It's as if he breathing out a piece of his own soul and that's why those items in question come alive. Items smaller than a cannon and barrel, require just one touch. However items bigger than those said items require constant contact.

Fighting Style:

Franz Heisenberg just fights dirty with as many tricks as he can muster.

Backstory:

Being from Skypiea and using dials for various things, for Franz Heisenberg it had been a natural thing for him to think outside of the box. After all one dial can be applied to various different tasks if one were to think about it. Such unique items, Franz always enjoyed tinkering with them creating new items. And through he abhorred violence, it isn't something that could be avoided some times he would craft lethal items, but for defense.

At some point in his life, a wanderlust struck Franz with a side of intense curiosity for the world below his. It wasn't long before he had to leave and explore this world of water. The very first isle he explored was the same one that resulted in him consuming a devil fruit and thus losing the ability to swim. It took awhile to get used the fruit (he still hasn't mastered it).

With no way to swim and no ship, Franz had to explore other options if he wanted to continue exploring. Campus Island, as the natives called it seemed had a volcano, a kingdom, and some kind of naval police force as Franz found out through discussions he had with certain strangers. He volunteered himself for the marines, as reasoned, he had a power, a knack for shooting things, and a skill with traps, such qualities he imagined would be useful to them and they had both ships, an arsenal of weaponry, and lack a desire for death and destruction, which was the biggest positive for Franz.
