One Piece Concept and Interest Thread

[Bing]

As the name suggests, this is a thread to find out if there are people interested in doing a One Piece RP with me. In regards to the specifics of the plot, I have several but picking an exact one hasn't been done yet. After garnering enough initial interest, I'd like to discuss with those individuals what they'd want to see in a One Piece RP and how they want it to be ran.

I'm open minded and willing to go with anything as long as its One Piece. My goal right now, is to just get a dedicated number of participants.

I'm interested. Though I'll prob do a devil fruit user. Got a concept I like to play with and whatnot that should be fun.

You could always do the Straw Hat story, but instead with our crew and how that changes things?

[Rin]

Aaah, I keep wanting to do One Piece shenanigans but it never seems to work out... Maybe umpteenth time's the charm? XD

[Bing]

@Archmage MC I'd love to here the concept you want to go with.

As for the plot, I don't mind having a story style similar to the straw hats. If we try to deviate from that, the change could be in the overall goal of the crew, the type of morality they follow, and the type of adventure they're going to have.

@Rin Who knows? I might be the one to break the streak of unfortunate One Piece RPs?

Also, I wouldn't mine straying from the plot of being pirates and go with joining the marines.
Or a third party group like bounty hunters.

But but but pirates! There's a new Alestorm album coming out soon and I need to scratch that piratical itch!

More seriously, though, I do like the idea of basically just having our crew replace the Straw Hats. Anyways, need to figure out whether I'm going with a Devil Fruit user or not, since whilst those are always fun to figure out they're usually the most popular choice for people to go with and... Well, it would be really weird if everyone had Devil Fruits, y'know? Hmmm.

[Bing]

@Rin I imagine most would lead towards being a pirate.

I'm okay with the whole DF thing being common among the participants. Just gives the crew more reason to gain some infamy.

[Rin]

Eh, fair point. We'll see how things go though, and if it comes down to it I'll try and come up with a non-Devil Fruit using character to add some variation, but we'll see.

[Rin]

@BingUm... You still there? ^^;

[Ryteb Pymeroce]

If this is still alive, I'd be interested in joining up as a swordsman.

[jynmi88]

I'm always up for a one piece rp!(if this is still accepting)

[jynmi88]

Poke. Anyone else still interested in this or am I the only one?

[Rin]

I am at least.

[Ryteb Pymeroce]

I'm still interested

[jynmi88]

@Rin@Ryteb Pymeroce
Great! So then there's enough to keep this afloat. The question is should we wait for the GM, or start our own interest group, and if we go that route, anyone want to GM?

[Ryteb Pymeroce]

Not me. I lack the temperment

[Archmage MC]

@jynmi88 I'm more of a co-GM than an actual GM. I'm not good at pulling plot points out of thin air, more refining whats already there.

[Rin]

@jynmi88Well I keep meaning to get back into the GMing game since I haven't done that for years, but this probably isn't the best time for me to do that since I'm still pretty far behind in One Piece and I have pretty much zero confidence in GMing anyways. ^^;

[jynmi88]

@Ryteb Pymeroce
I lack the experience, but I'm willing to give it a go.

@Archmage MC
I'm okay with pulling plot points out of my......... out of the air, but I tend to lose track of the over all design of the story.

@Rin
Haha! Don't feel bad. I love the One Piece universe and do lots of research on it, but I'm probably further back on the series than anyone else.

Alrighty then, So If its alright with everyone else, I'll give GMing this a go.(?)

IF so, I have some questions:
1. Is there any sort of consensus of what we want the story to be? Some choices are:
A. The classic scenario were our crew basically takes the place of the Straw Hats to go to the grand line.
B. Playing a group of marines
C. A group of bounty hunters
D. Members of the revolution (I've got an idea for this that involves our group in a special program which has various revolutionaries causing trouble for the world government under the guise of everyday pirates trying to make it big)
2. How does everyone feel about taking turns designing overall story arcs? I'd still be GMing, but would work with whoevers turn it is to lead the arc. This way everyone's character's history could be given a time to shine as well as allow the GM a chance to focus on creating future story arcs.
3. HOw many people should we have in the rp? Personally, I think we've got enough to start off with for now and could gather more as we go along.

[Ryteb Pymeroce]

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for moi

[Rin]

@jynmi88I think this sums up which faction I'd rather be.

Also I like the idea of everyone designing arcs, and I think we should start off with a smaller group and recruit more people when we need to.

...I just need to decide between a few character ideas I guess. Hmmm.
