One Piece:
Sea Reaver Pirates Reborn

Opening Theme Song: TBD
Ending Theme Song: TBD

Honorstar Garrison. What was once just an ordinary Marine base along the border of the South Blue and the East Blue, is now renowned for spelling the demise of the most notorious crew of pirates ever to terrorize the South Blue. And all it took was perseverance on the Marines' end... and a well-timed counter attack of course, just when the raiding Sea Reaver Pirates had least expected it.

There were heavy casualties on both sides. 16 Marine vessels were gunned down by cannon fire, and a grand total 1747 Marines lost their lives fending off the Sea Reaver Pirates. Not to mention the outer Northern- and Western-most walls had taken severe damage during the Honorstar Garrison Raid. However, the Sea Reaver Pirates easily had the raw end of the deal. 2025 members of the Sea Reaver Pirates have been confirmed to be deceased, and all the other ships they ever had possession of lay in ruins, debris strewn all around the Honorstar Garrison while the ocean that surrounds it is stained in blood. Their main flagship, the Nightshade Scorpion, and their captain, Magdalena Amarant, have both vanished without a trace. Where either one had gone during the aftermath, nobody knows...

Only a scant few survivors, less than one can count on both hands, remain. They can found in the island town of Shelburgh, lurking in one corner of a tavern quietly discussing options and awaiting the return of their captain.


Some Ground Rules While You're Here


1. All rules for generic roleplaying etiquette apply. That is to say... no godmodding, no powerplaying, no metagaming, and nothing else a veteran roleplayer would wag his or her finger to you about. Especially not short-posting (writing anything less than exactly 100 words in an IC post); this is under Casual Roleplays and not Free Roleplays for a reason.

2. I have final say at all times. I'm usually a chill guy, but I'm not afraid to put my foot down and ban who I must from the RP. Just don't be a complete dick towards anyone here (me in particular) and we should be good.

3. Keep any beef you might have with another RPer to yourself. If you happen to disapprove of something that someone's done, then fine; take it to PM or something. And if you need me to defuse the situation, then hit me up about it and I'll make the executive decision right then and there. But I don't want it spilling over to where anyone and everyone else can easily catch wind of it. K? K.

4. Violence, language, sexual content etc. is not to exceed a PG-16 rating under any circumstance. The occasional swear-word or two would be fine, but don't go ham with them. Same thing goes with gore; saying that someone took a cannonball to the face would be a perfectly acceptable action to write down on its own, but there's no need to then go on about how blood spilled everywhere and all that. I've always been uncomfortable with that excessive level of gory detail, and quite frankly, it's completely and utterly unnecessary.

5. We'll be posting in rounds; and you're not permitted to post more than twice per round under any circumstance. It doesn't matter how you'd want to space your second post for the round from your first; the whole idea behind this rule is that everyone gets a chance to post and no one person (especially not a slower RPer) gets left behind. A new round will begin after I've posted a plot advancement of some degree within the story itself, whether it be minor or major. Of course, I'll want to follow this rule myself so that my characters have the chance to properly interact with yours, so if any post I make looks to be shorter than normal, please assume that that post is a continuation of the current round of posting and not the beginning of a new round... unless I just happen to say otherwise.

6. Dedication to this RP is integral. While I do try to be patient, I ultimately expect to see a post from each RPer by the end of each fortnight at the very latest, if not the end of each week. If something crops up that'd prevent you from posting, I'd be happy to let it slide if you can tell me about it fast enough. Of course, I may be forced to move the plot forward just to prevent the whole RP from dying in its entirety, but don't be surprised if I then grill you after the fact for not having an excuse lined up in time.

7. More rules will be added as I see fit. Aside from that, have some well regulated fun; the best kind :]

What do you guys think about me making a Discord server for this? I can always put one together if enough of you want it.

Interested! WIP, got the important bits fleshed out (I think) just need to nail down some specifics.

Yeah... I get that this is a WIP, but there are already glaring problems with it.

...

I'll address the fact that you put Sniper in both roles first. If you want your guy to strictly be there as a sniper (which I'm guessing you do), then your crew role would be Enforcer. Just so you know, the Enforcers are the primary combatants of a crew, and they're there to engage the enemy, protect the rest of the crew etc.; in other words, they're pretty much the muscle.

I won't harp too much on the fact that you also just put Sniping in the Fighting Style segment cause that does scream placeholder, although I will say that if you don't expect your guy to fight all that differently from the usual sniper, you might be better off removing the field in its entirety.

...

The second issue is your mention of Portgas D. Ace. I'm not sure how I feel about canon characters even being referenced in a cursory manner, and I'm certainly against the idea of them being personally interacted with. I'd suggest removing all mention of Ace just to be safe :/

...

That's all for now. If you need any help, just ask

Ok. No problem. Second issue is easy to fix, I'll just replace Ace with another pirate not canon to the series and be kind of vague about it. Hmm, perhaps his mother could have been part of the Reavers herself once and the marines wanted the name erased from history. What do you really want in a fighting style. I mean, I thought sniping is how a sniper fights, but maybe I have a couple of ideas.

Ok I edited my final draft!

Well, it is, but the other guys aren't just gonna sit there and let the sniper pick them off for free. They can easily spot where said sniper is shooting from and deploy counter-snipers (if they have any), or have an ambush set up outside his line of fire, just as examples of counter-measures they can use against him. I'd start with mentioning how your guy handles enemies that draw too close to him.

In saying that, I'll look at what you've done in a second. I've still got things to set up here and there, so bear with me. Speaking of...

@Duthguy@malmshodes@Stern Algorithm@Squashedquatch@ColouredCyan@FatPrincess

Discord server is now up and running. Link's up at the 0th post. Since I can, I'll throw BC an actual DM and see if he's still interested. I'd rather minimize the number of @'s I toss around here if I can.

Aight, review time.



@Duthguy I like this guy. He's cool.

...

That's all the review you get. Go ahead and add Zerry into the Character tab.


@Squashedquatch Sorry I didn't get back to you as fast as I said I would. I've only just now had the chance to take a proper look at everyone's apps.

I appreciate that you fixed what I told you to, truly. That's exactly why I'm mad at myself for not seeing this earlier.

Ok so he was born. (I would have loved to gone into deeper detail about why but it doesn't matter because that part doesn't add anything to his personality or do anything related to the story, so I'm skipping the filler)


I... honestly don't know what I can tell you about this statement in particular, except that it's cursed. For the future, you really should just throw in bits and pieces of detail into your apps anyway, even if you don't believe it to be relevant to what a GM asks of you, or whatever else. For the moment though, I don't care whether or not you replace the quoted statement with anything; I'd rather just not have to see that it's still there, for my sanity's sake.

I feel as though there's a continuity issue here too, within the bio itself. The Honorstar Garrison Raid was an extremely chaotic battle; realistically speaking, everyone would be too busy fighting for their own lives to pay much attention to one lone guy's mad sniping. What you could do is have your guy had sniped off who he could in the fight, bailed upon spotting the reinforcements and later chanced upon the other survivors as he entered the tavern, using that opportunity to offer his help instead. That should fix the continuity issue I'm getting here, hopefully without interfering with what you wanted.


@ColouredCyan You certainly have the interesting character in the making. If not for the few things here and there, I'd be more than happy to accept it.

Re-Appropriator is not a crew role that I had thought of; I'd just assumed that the cat burglar aspect was something Nami did on the side, prior to officially joining the Straw Hats. Unfortunately, Re-Appropriator is also not a crew role that's on the list. I'll need a moment to consider how such a role would actually help the Sea Reaver Pirates overall, niche applications aside.

Judging from what you've written for the field itself, I'd class Poppy's combat role as a Corsair. They're more focused on quick-draws and rapid shooting than lining up their shots. You can always transfer what you've written in the Combat Role field to the Fighting Style field on the off-chance you wanna save it, but I'll leave that up to you.



That's all for now. I'll establish a due date for apps to be completed when I've finished setting things up.

Still a 100 mill below the captain and the character I had in mind was somewhat of an enforcer for the crew. Can't exactly enforce the ship without some serious cred to them.

Besides, I figure that since the background says that plenty of the crew are high value so there has to be a few that are just below the captain.
