On that note I want a "sound sound" fruit to be a specific power. For example it wouldn't be a logia. I would also not pass a sound-sound fruit that allowed the user to move at the speed of sound. Someone that could use sound vibrations to their advantage YES that would pass. I want to hear the powers before I ever actually reject them.

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.

The only reason I have interjected here was just to hopefully encourage you to take a specific route for "sound" powers. As a slight and tiny spoiler there is an NPC that has been created that uses "sound" in a specific way later. It is doubtful that you would chose the powers as designated by this person (and if you did by some miracle) then I would scrap the character.

Heck, who knows. Maybe I'll say his guitar "ate" the fruit and he becomes utterly useless when separated from it!

Am I making sense? I don't feel like I'm making sense.

You've made sense to me so far!

Sloth is right, ya know? Luffy was faster then the speed of sound since the start of the series.

Also I'm joining.

[center]

Name:
Barbossa D. Sid

Height/Weight:
5‘10“, 159 lbs

Age:
19

Personality:
In a word, calculated would best describe Sid. At times he only appear in two flavors, confident and apathetic or uncaring towards the people and situations around him. Though he appears he is, his best interest is usually the interest of the people, he looks out for those he cares for and has clear and undying loyalty, though earning it can be a bit of a hassle. He can be a difficult guy to deal with as he tends to trust his own judgment until he trusts the opinion of another. He believes in his ability to analyze a situation and understand the depth of any situation he is placed in.

He seems to be perpetually calm, smirks are his way of communicating, though he often shows his emotion with his mouth when he is feeling social. His laughing can be seen as ominous as he has a very twisted sense of humor and is known for saying harsh things jokingly to his crew. Although he prefers being alone, he does also enjoy the idea of being around people he can call crew. When working, he trusts himself to carry on whatever task alone as he is focused and driven by his own motives, or the idea of his allies success.

He is an introvert at heart, he enjoys alone time under the pale moon or morning sun to reflect on his day, his objectives and his motives. He finds that it helps him clear his mind and settle any loose ends and remind himself all things happen for a reason. He is quite sensible and an avid reader, he also enjoys nature and being around wildlife, looking to protect the innocent to the best of his abilities. He tends to end things quickly, he is all about efficiency and hates drawn out fights, debates or discussions. He is all about being direct and to the point, though he is patient enough to know when to take his time and be comfortable with it.

Home Island/Sea:
Waizo Country

History:
To be blunt, Sid is the son of the Strongest Swordsman in the World. A tall legacy for Sid to live up to and his father would make it difficult for the boy to do so. His father, Blade D. Silver , was an abusive teacher whilst his mother, a human named Barbossa D. Mary, maintained a somewhat gentle approach with her child since she had retired from the pirate life. His father would travel often and Sid was left to train under his father's firstmate named Pachi. Pachi taught Sid endlessly in the knowledge of his fighting style to mold him into the pirate he'd eventually become.

Tragedy struck Sid's life when a logia appeared with a crew of men. It had been years since a logia showed up in the Waizo country. To think someone would attack a town in the Waizo Country, killing many including Sid's mother. Pachi managed to hide the two until the attack was through. Sid lost a part himself that day that he refused to give up. One thing they managed to find out was that the logia user possessed a marine emblem on his jacket. It had been years since the Marines dared to sail in Waizo waters. That day Sid made a promise to become strong enough to destroy the Marines and best even his father, the man that wasn't there to save Sid's mother.

Several years passed and Sid finally decided to journey from his country. He was ready to achieve his destiny.

Fruit:
Tremor Tremor Fruit

Fighting style:
Sid's style of fighting is quite interesting, utilizing momentum, counters and a blitzkrieg offense. Sid is as comfortable charging his opponent to pressure them or create openings using swift hits and feints. Most blocks tend to turn to counters, returning the enemies strength to them and making his opponents feel a bit hesitant to go on the offensive. He constantly aims to control the entirety of the battle using his speed, and his Gura Gura No Mi to keep his opponent pressured.

Weapon:
Sid uses a Chōkuto, the meito Akatsuki, an O Wazamono grade sword. The sword, with its jet black sheath and guard-less hilt, is one of the twenty-one finest katanas in the world and is known for its immense durability and unnatural sharpness. It is said Sid faced off against a Marine Captain in order to gain possession of the blade after the pirate in possession of the blade was killed by the Marines which is a lie to garner Sid a bounty beyond just being from waizo when instead Sid received the blade from his mother.

The blade is said to tremendously augment its wielder's strength and the destructive powers of the user are greatly increased. Its durability is by far its greatest attribute and it was stated by Pachi that its durability is easily in the league of the twelve Saijo O Wazamono. Another specialty of the blade is that due to the nature of the metal with which it was made it does not rust, neither does it ever loose its sharpness. Due to this same material's unique properties it is lighter, stronger, and sharper than most blades.

Ship Positions:
Helmsman

Bounty:
Sid has a bounty of 100,000 due to the fear the Marines have in the samurai of the Waizo Country and the belief that he could be as dangerous as his father if left unattended.

@Kal-ElUm... Just do you know, that fruit is one of the ones Yorutenchi said had a flat ban placed on it. ^^;

Why? If anyone says cause Whitebeard and Blackbeard uses, I'm going to laugh and refute that them using doesn't translate to anyone else being high tier when using it.

@Yorutenchi I chose the more more fruit if thats ok

Why? If anyone says cause Whitebeard and Blackbeard uses, I'm going to laugh and refute that them using doesn't translate to anyone else being high tier when using it.

Because it can cause earthquakes and was revered in the show as the most powerful or at least the most fearsome fruit in the whole world. The Yami-yami no mi was banned because its powers are ill-defined and has the option to godmod other players by taking away their powers. The gum-gum because I said so for or less. If anyone wanted to fight against a ban it would be the gum gum but its purely because I don't want a luffy in the crew. The magma fruit and light fruit are also banned specifically because there is no way not to be broken with those powers.

if you don't have a fruit there will be options to gain fruit later in the series. Though there is no guarantee that the fruit you find is going to be any particular fruit.

Secondly I haven't done a full reading of the character and will update my response of it. I will PM you with something in a minute reguarding your history and see if you are able to agree with it.

@Yorutenchi I chose the more more fruit if thats ok

So long as its within reason yes!

Why? If anyone says cause Whitebeard and Blackbeard uses, I'm going to laugh and refute that them using doesn't translate to anyone else being high tier when using it.

The fruit ban is not specifically because of power but more because we want to see something different. Usually if you can use the fruit in a new and unique way then a approval can be given. I'll let yoru be the final judge.

@Yorutenchi posting in CS now

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.

Heck, who knows. Maybe I'll say his guitar "ate" the fruit and he becomes utterly useless when separated from it!

<Snipped quote by Yorutenchi>

You've made sense to me so far!

The way that they are able to dodge bullets isn't that they move faster than them. Its that they predict the path the bullets take and move out of the way. Its a little bit like the way the Sharingan allows them to predict what the opponent will do and move accordingly but doesn't actually increase their speed.

I will also be setting up actual limiters on the uses of Haki when I create the IC. No one is proficient but I don't see any reason to stop the existence of haki from being known and at least having a minor use of it.

I like the idea of using shockwaves and soundwaves and such but being able to move at the speed of sound is pretty similar to the reason why I banned the light logia. Unless you have the ability to move faster than sound you can't really react to it. If you make your own fruit you can do whatever you want with it so long as it isn't broken.

I will be introducing random fruit throughout the RP and players can choose to either eat it or they can choose to sell it or whatever. however all of the fruit that I introduce to the rp will be my own creation.

Even some existing fruit I am going to alter slightly. I have one very specifically in mind that is going to be different than the way it was in the show as it has to do with plot points. However again I don't want to reveal anything that will be for the IC.

Either way I will post the IC today but no rush on your character.

@IraGoing to ask one more time, but could you use a different shade of blue in your CS? The one you're using right now honestly hurts my eyes to look at. ^^;

Ahh. Did not know that! Everything I know is a lie!

Cool, cool. Sound-waves it is. I'm sure he'll just learn how to amp his stuff with Haki! Muhahahaha.

Hmm. This tempts me to have him not be a fruit user at the start of the RP. But then he'd be more than useless in combat. Then again....comedic relief...

Either way I will post the IC today but no rush on your character.

I'll be fine.

@Rin Its the only color of blue I know how to use. My Cs is also in a hider so you won't have to look at it if it bothers ur eyes that much.

@IraI still want to read other people's characters. XD Hmmm, hang on a moment...

Use the number beside each colour instead of the colour name when doing the formatting. I would personally recommend Steel Blue (4682B4) as that's a bit easier on the eyes. XD

@Rin i don't feel the need to change the color. I think it goes with my profile. Its the reason i chose the color.

The speed thing is wrong. Luffy is faster then the speed of sound. He dodges multiple gunfire from different angles. Zoro can cut bullets mid flight and attack the gunmen at the sametime. Everyone luffy level at the start of the manga is faster then the speed of sound. They are beyond supersonic. Even Kuro was supersonic. They could react to Enel who could move as fast as lightning.

Now on to the fruit, it was revered cause Whitebeard was that powerful with it. My character would not be anywhere on his scale. You'd have to be as strong as whitebeard or blackbeard, who absorbed whitebeard to gain his strength.

Nothing in the manga seems to have indicated that any of the characters can move faster than sound. I'm not going to get into the argument because Oda is bad about this kind of stuff in general. The concept of dodging bullets however has been clearly explained as being a predictive power rather than dodging the bullet out of sheet speed after it being fired.

It does not matter either way. No one here can move fast as the speed of sound and my decision on the fruit has not changed.

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

onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Soru

This is a cool technique anyone can learn to be able to move at high speeds. Spoiler alert for those who haven't seen water 7 arc.
