That's a tough one. Here this might help. When in a fight would you rather have to fight everyone, or just the ones that can use haki? Also, throwing fire at people, or turning them into butthead, literally, is completely up to you.

Also I have a question: What would a Scan Scan Fruit be called?

I guess that depends what it can do~ scanning can mean many things~ and well Viola has a sort of "Scan" ability

The ability to scan for the life-force of any living thing. Currently within a 30 meter radius. So it's not the best of devil fruit abilities but it help the character do his job sometimes.

EX: As he is a shipwright, he can use this ability to check every piece of wood for termites.

mine uses the wood-wood fruit... so yeah.

COMBINE, I SAY!!!

you know i see a lot of devil fruit users here >_>
And cheking for termites isn´t your main problem as a ship wright XD When you got termites you´ll know! Especially on a ship^^ since the rats will probably get em first and wear them a nice necklace!

It's mainly as a defense rather than just that. The idea is that no living thing can hide from him in any form. Even assassins have a hard time killing him. Still, I'm just throwing ideas out there to get an general understanding of it myself. The more I read it, the more I understand it. At least that's the goal.

Here's what I've got for it so far. As it looks so far, I might just end up getting rid of it which will be no trouble.

Devil Fruit(if any): Sukyansukyan nomi (Scan Scan)[I know it sounds retarded]
Abilities: Has the ability to see life-force of other living things
Down-sides: Obviously, can’t swim.
: Can only use the sight for about 20 minutes before problems begin; Any longer, and he begins to lose his sight for an extended period of time, up to three days at a time.
: Can’t see any living object in the ocean; Pools are different, as they try not to use sea water in most pools.
: Only spreads to 30 meter radius.
: Can’t determine exact distance of every life-force yet.
BTW, I used google translate for the name. It's still stupid.

thats true... lets take count. any devil fruit users make a post after this one.

i'm one

The more I think about it, the more I want to get rid of it. For now, it's still in, but we'll see.

Update: I've decided. I'm getting rid of having the ability. Instead, I've decide that the character will have found one and is carrying it to this day. That is if you guys find that alright?

sure i guess

Okay I think this should do. If anyone has any ideas as to what I could change, please let me know. And be as critical as you want. Don't hold back.

Name: Orzahva B. Allen

Age: 23

Gender: Male

SO: Straight

History: Allen was born on an island in the South Blue. He never knew his parents and lived in the forest all alone. Everyone on the island didn’t want anything to do with him. To learn how to get off the island, he started watching the shipwrights at the docks as they worked on new ships. With the skills he learned over a few years, he turned 16 and built his own ship to sail the seas, but he didn’t have the supplies necessary for the voyage. Thankfully though, he caught the attention of one of the shipwrights who saw what a great job he did, and decided to supply him with everything necessary to get to the next island. He set sail for the East Blue, and due to many circumstances, he got to Lougetown 5 years later. Throughout those years, he came across many people, many different islands, and learned some things about him own family. After everything he has been through, he decided to wait a while in Lougetown for a few years or so. He spent the next two years looking for a suitable pirate crew to join, and while staying there, he found a Devil Fruit in a small crate just laying in one of the alleys of Lougetown. Not long after, he found the crew he would join.

Personality: Kind, Protective, Unsocial, Mostly sarcastic, Uncharismatic, Very Selfless, Secretly emotional, Mostly fearless, Non-persuasive, Pacifist.

Other Bio: Finds every way possible to avoid a fight. Reason? When incredibly pissed off, or given no other option but to fight, Allen becomes… different. His personality becomes unrecognizable. He also ignores all pain caused to him, and becomes about 5x stronger and faster, regardless of his small figure. Basically, think of The Hulk, just without the massive body growth or ripping out of his clothes. When in this mode, he loses all control, and would hurt even his friends if they get in his way, without knowing that he is even doing so.
Only goal in life is to live life to its fullest before he dies.

Crew Position: Shipwright

Weapons(if any): None, if he can help it.

Devil Fruit(if any): Unknown. Shaped like grape bushel. Orange color. Each grape shaped like a Gusher.

Abilities: -Very observant. Almost scary how observant.
-Can build things with great speed and accuracy.

Other(if anything):
-Aware of his anger issue. Has very good control over it.
-Hates The Celestial Dragons with a passion. Loathe if you prefer.
-Becomes social in serious situations, or when it’s about ships.

Sorry, but I still can't find a suitable picture for the character's look.
For now. I have a general description....
-Blue eyes
-Blonde hair
-5' 7'(1.7 m)
-Scrawny figure (120 lbs./54 kg.)
-Caucasian(tanned)
-If you have a good imagination, then try to put this in anime form, and that's the character's face.


That's all I have for now.

not bad but, why the B in his name?

Monkey 'D.' Luffy, that's why.

Seriously, I just threw it together with only that in mind. There isn't really any need for it. It's just for flavor.
Also, I think I used the wrong word in his personality. By Non-persuasive, I mean that he cannot be persuaded to do anything he doesn't want to do, so I guess 'stubborn' would be a better word.

ummmm... ok then i guess.

i need to know where we're starting at so i can fix my bio if needed.

I want to be a DF user as well, but I don't know which ones I made are over-powered. I always have that problem. I sent a message to Eve but they haven't gotten back to me yet. If you want I can post them here.

Okay, never mind. He literally just got back to me. Either that or I only just now noticed. Working on it. But at least I know I'm being a girl.

It seems like you've been very active and posted lots of stuff here. I can't almost even keep a track on you guys anymore.... But no worries no worries, I'm quickly catching up and trying to answer your questions as well as I can.

Sable: Yeah, Luffy is currently the pirate king in this rp. You assumed correctly. You took the cook's place, if I'm correct?

Gravi: Great character you've got there. May I ask if we've rp'd before because I think I've seen that character before, or maybe it's only my imagination? And also, because you were the first one to post your character, I'd like to ask if you were the captain's (my character) "right-hand man", and maybe the first one who joined the crew?

Link: I've actually got nothing that I'd like you to change. That "anger-control"-problem is very interesting, and if you play it well, I'm sure that we'll have good times in this rp. *laughs*

Hmmh. So I think that we'll be starting from the almost beginning of my character's "sea-conquering"-time, which means that some of you can already be included in the crew, and some of you will be recruited soon, if you all don't want to be in it already. Even though it would be a whole lot easier if you all would already be on board, I've got nothing against recruiting you guys soon, though it will take time if lots of people want to be recruited after the rp has begun.

I think that's all for now. If you've got any questions concerning the rp, or your character-making (if you for ex. think that your character might be over-power) send me a PM or ask the question here. I'll probably give you a more detailed answer if you send me a PM.
