Lucretia could have something along the lines of being filthy rich and/or using her family name to influence people, since she's a noble and all.

And then I guess for mine the puppet could be bulletproof or something? I don't know if that's much of a trait though.

Renamed "Thick-Skinned Fists" to "Big Meaty Claws," just because I like a good ol' Spongebob joke. Working on my first post now.

@thespacephantom That's alright, no pressure. We'll think of something eventually.

@Zobozun That's gonna get you guys killed earlier.

@Great Sogeking I was gonna name it Big Meaty Paws initially.

@Holy Soldier Depends. If I really like your character, I could let you join.

@JabberWell, I'll send you a sheet and if you're full, then I can always have the character I present join in later. Some players tend to drop out of games on a regular basis, and I don't mind filling the holes they leave behind. :)

@MacDuffy I had Zehst crash into your mercenary thugs, since I figured that was the best way to cause a huge chaotic event that no one could possibly miss. Lemme know if that's not cool.

@Zobozun Yeah, she's bulletproof to basic gunfire.

@MacDuffyFor Scabbard, I fixed the coding a bit. Also, gave him Strength and Endurance traits. I think it fits his backstory and fighting style. Given his massive burns, I would want to suggest a weakness; being unable to fight prolonged battles. He could continue, but the fatigue and stress on his body would be more than usual.

@ZerothHell yeah boi let's give Nose Ring some groundswell

@JabberWould it be like a Makoto Shishio thing where his body temperature rises as he fights? That sounds like a pretty cool weakness.

Also, should I wait until you make another post before having Nose Ring and the Spice Boys respond to Zehst crashing their shakedown?

@MacDuffy Yeah, exactly. You're one of the hard hitters given your traits, so that's just a small hurdle that you could probably surpass if given the right amount of attention.

Feel free to keep on posting. I don't mind if you control Nose Ring, he is, your creation.

Since I've heard the opinions of the majority regarding the stats and abilities, how about techniques? I think a big part of One Piece are the named moves. I'm not saying that your character has to shout them out, I just think that they're a big part of a whole universe. Maybe that we can quantify? Just a simple allocation of Tech Points? Its either you pour it on a select few moves or have several techniques at your dispossal?

Let's take Pre-Timeskip Luffy as an example

Abilities:
  • Gomu Gomu no Mi
  • Gear Second
  • Gear Third

Techniques:
  • Gomu Gomu no Pistol
    Gomu Gomu no Pistol Shot
    Gomu Gomu no Gatling
    Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling
    Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol
    Gomu Gomu no Gigant Pistol
  • Gomu Gomu no Rocket
    Gomu Gomu no Jet Rocket
  • Gomu Gomu no Bazooka
    Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka
    Gomu Gomu no Gigant Bazooka
  • Gomu Gomu no Bullet
    Gomu Gomu no Rifle
    Gomu Gomu no Jet Bullet
    Gomu Gomu no Gigant Rifle
  • Gomu Gomu no Stamp
    Gomu Gomu no Jet Stamp
    Gomu Gomu no Gigant Stamp


Or is it too toxic to do? I just don't want people to suddenly come up with moves on the fly.

I think coming up with moves on the fly is fine, depending on the character.

Luffy's techs pretty much amount to him hitting things, or him hitting things with a power up. Him pulling out something like Balloon or Axe or Storm for the first time isn't egregious because it's still within his known limits, while the Gears are a bigger deal because they change those limits.

I think the issues might come from characters suddenly being capable of things they haven't been established doing, or suddenly being capable of it. Usually One Piece handles it pretty well though. Usopp brings out new stuff every so often but pre-timeskip it's been dials with already established effects or gear made of store bought tools, while with Franky a lot of time was spent on Water 7 (and the Puffing Tom) establishing his capabilities, then again on Fishman Island. I forget the last time Usopp brought out a new Pop Green too for that matter.

I think characters like Scab and TJ are going to be less likely to pull out something weird compared to some of the more gear/tech oriented characters like Giko and Tenmon, but as long as we're aware of it I don't see that happening.

I pretty much agree with this. With some characters like Zoro, they're often shown in the background or during in-between segments on the ship doing things like lifting weights. I think there have been scenes of Usopp and Franky tinkering with stuff too, that justify some of their "I suddenly invented this new thing!" moments. And even though Luffy isn't shown training before introducing his first two gears, he does take notice of the Soru and Geppou techniques being used in an earlier confrontation, and his opponent I believe comments on how Gear Second is basically using Soru to create those bulges in his legs that act as the blood pump.

I think introducing techniques that are simple punches, kicks, or otherwise "normal" moves on the fly is fine, but introducing something that makes specific use of a Devil Fruit power's properties--for instance, Zehst working his way up to iron-man style sustained flight--is something that they should be shown developing over time before using in battle.

This is what I wanna see.

Carry on with the character interaction, guys. After @Player 2 and @Zobozun post, I'll work on an update.
