[OOC] One Piece: A pirate's life for me!

[pyroman]

It's been quite some time since Monkey D. Luffy and his crew known as the Straw Hat Pirates had found the One piece, thirty years in fact, but after seeing the result of the greatest treasure being found, The new Pirate kind hid the treasure elsewhere and spread the news, hoping to conjure a new age of pirating! With new faces, new cities, and a new location of the one piece, Pirating is back to the way it has been!

Alright! I'm going to move everything over there, and although I don't have anything here just yet, I will be spending most of tomorrow to set this up and make it look al pretty. Right now I can just off up a character sheet for you yous to work on until I'm ready to actually kick off this shindig.

[Dblade26]

Appearance: The face of terror and blades in the night, clearly <.< >.>
Name: Hattori Mushuro
Age: 9
Gender: Male

Height: 4'2" (roughly 127 cm)

Weight: 80lbs (roughly 36 kilos)

Personality: Mushuro can be headstrong and stubborn, especially when it comes to his dream of being the strongest person in the world, ninja or pirate. He's also rather naive about how things in the world actually work due to being raised within his incredibly secretive ninja clan, despite his brimming confidence at being out and free of them for the moment. The small ninja has a surprising amount of tact and intelligence when he actually bothers to think, but he loves over-dramatic entrances and trying to seem awesome and cool and usually disregards his life of training in stealth and assassination because he thinks doing things sneakily is 'not the true pirate way'. Mushuro also treasures friendship, having never had any real friends before running away from home. Around friends he can sometimes act out in ways that are childish, spoiled or crybaby-like even for a child, mainly because he hadn't had a chance to do so with his actual family.

Biography: Mushuro belongs to the Hattori clan, a large group of highly skilled and secretive ninjas. Like all those of his clan, he was trained nearly from birth to be the perfect spy and assassin, often rather harshly. His life was lonely and he couldn't see very much of a future in it aside from following his family's wishes. Worse yet his life was also filled with danger, as Mushuro was subjected to constant assassination attempts not just by members of rival clans but also by his own family members as a constant reminder to keep sharp and stay vigilant. Mushuro felt completely trapped, both physically and emotionally.

All of that changed during yet another assassination attempt while Mushuro was being tasked to buy groceries, as the boy was rescued by a passing pirate rather than having to deal with his attackers himself. Mushuro was initially upset at someone interfering with his test and potentially giving his family a reason to punish him, then somehow found himself unloading all of his troubles on the pirate who'd saved him in his ensuing rant. The pirate grinned at Mushuro and told him that if things were that bad he should just become a pirate and live free on the open sea, then left the young boy standing there, dumbstruck.

From that day on, Mushuro dreamed of becoming a pirate and escaping his harsh family and destiny as a ninja, a dream his family despised. Finally during a lecture about how he needed to give up on becoming a pirate that went on at length about how foolish pirates are and how Mushuro would never survive or achieve true strength that way, he snapped and declared that he'd show all of them by becoming the strongest person in the world, ninja or pirate. For the outburst during an official reprimand he was sent to his room, but by then he'd already made up his mind. He sneaked out and stole his family's ancestral swords, Sarutobi and Saizo, taking them along for protection and as a final raspberry to his family, then set out for the open sea to live his dream as a pirate and show his family he can be strong no matter what path in life he chooses.

Joe! :O

Anyways, will hopefully have my character up... Later, I guess. For now, here's her picture that I did a while back. >.> <.<

[Card Captor]

It's Joe (GokaiBlue)!

[pyroman]

Gokaiger? I never really caught onto it. More of a Kamen Rider guy, but not really.

[gothpuppy95]

Hooray others who know the awesomeness that is joe.

[Dblade26]

So...was my character okay?

Can't wait to see it finished, since Joe is awesome and I need to see if he lives up to him. XD

I kind of find it easier to get into Riders than Sentai myself, too. ^^; Although the signature's a dead giveaway really.

[pyroman]

Well, anyone up for some navigating or scouting? We kind of need those in order to have a working crew. Simon's going to be the captain of the crew, but he isn't going to act like a captain. He's going to make himself equal with everyone else on the ship/

[Rin]

I think my character kind of has to be the cook, seeing her intended powerset. XD So I don't think she can fill either of those roles, unfortunately.

[pyroman]

That's fine, and instead of having a womanizing cook, like the strawhat pirates had, we can have an amazing and irresistible woman cook!

[Dblade26]

Mushuro can be scout and cabin boy

[pyroman]

Sounds good!

[Card Captor]

Name: Max
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Height: 4'11
Weight: 107 lb
Personality: Max is a sweet boy, who cares a lot about those close to him. While he's not violent by nature, when pushed into corner he can get pretty desperate, like a trapped animal. Naturally paranoid, he tends to keep several things sealed up in cards, which he keeps inside his body. While he would much rather get out of a fight with his deck of tricks, he's more then capable of fighting if escape isn't an option
Biography: Max's never knew his family. As an orphan, Max grew up in an orphanage on a small island in the Grand Line. He spent his early childhood alone, and he soon found himself in a rut. That all changed when one day, pirates attacked his home. Max however managed to escape

With nowhere to go, Max crafted a crude raft to sail away from his once home. However, the Grand Line isn't a very safe place for dingy rafts, as Max soon found out. Stranded on a deserted island, Max had to forage for his own food. One day, he found a strange looking fruit. Hungry and not thinking straight, he took a bite of it...and immediately spat it out. Not long after that, his left arm crumbled into cards. In a panic, he grabbed up all the cards and they were absorbed back into his body, restoring his arm. Max now understood that what he had just bitten into was a devil fruit. After he was finally able to make another raft and leave the island, he came across a book on devil fruits. After finding his in there, he final knew just what it did to him...and what powers he now had
Area of expertise: Navigator

[pyroman]

Wow. If this is how it's going to be, we're going to have a lot of sappy characters and back stories...

[Card Captor]

Pretty much all of the strawhats had tragic back stories.

[AcetheKidd]

Can you save me the marksman?

[pyroman]

Suuuuuuuuuure! Just get your CS up before a lone wanderer decided he want's that spot and take it before you post your sheet!
