[OOC] One Piece: New Horizons!

[BCTheEntity]

@Leaves Sounds pretty good to me. I'll see if I need to update Dirk's opinion on Feya to reflect that.

[Old Amsterdam]

@Leaves
Sounds perfect fine to me for Caesar.

Two more Nakama relationships!! How does it look?

Bonesword:

Feya can’t find the right words to describe her friendship with the skeleton kid. Her interactions or expressions are mostly confusion. Bonesword is a complexing concept to understand. His entire existence conflicts with Feya’s study. The guy has no muscles!

Her obsession with fitness is lost for a person who doesn’t have any muscle mass. She can’t help but stare a few times. Feya can’t help but think the kid is crying internally from muscle envy. This had pretty much struck a resolve on her.

Given the kid has no muscles, she bickers and nags at him the most. This usually consists if he completed his workout regimes. She also prescribed him to drink a gallon of milk a day. Flint was mostly bones and he was the most likely of the crew to receive osteoporosis from loss of tissue or even a deficiency of vitamin D.

Though they are still on the same level, Feya can’t help but feel weird when Bonesword drinks alcohol. It doesn’t sit right with her. Out of everyone, she feels he should be the last person to have alcohol.

One strange encounter that Feya had with Bonesword was that she accidentally walked in on him having a tea party with his sword. Silence had filled the room and Feya erupted into nervous laughter. She wasn’t sure how to respond and thought a comedic response was appropriate. It was really awkward after it took her a whole two minutes to stop and close the door. (A good exercise for her diaphragm though.)

Slick Drake:

Feya tends to keep a close relationship with Slick given his position the crew ship. She is determined to keep up with her diet. The woman usually always mentions the food pyramid even though Slick has heard it many times. He practically has learned about the necessary servings despite never wanting to have that knowledge in the first place.

Thanks to Feya, he now knows that people should have 4 servings of fruit each day, 3 servings of vegetables, 6 servings of grains, and other mumbo jumbos. The woman does tend to eat an excessive amount in the chef’s perspective, but she is just trying to reach her daily goal of 1,600 calories.

Feya acknowledges the mental disorder that Slick does suffer from. She does find some of her protein powder occasionally missing. The woman doesn’t confront Slick directly about it. As a doctor, she knows the chef can’t help his urges. Feya simply goes to his room, knocks down the door off of his hinges, looks around, and grabs her supplements without a word. There might be a slight sense of spite during her actions, but she does try to keep that hidden.

Overall, she does her best to communicate with Slick. She doesn’t push the man with workouts or fitness. Her rambling about food servings and caloric advantages are enough. His demeanor is relaxing.

All I got left is the captain, fisherman, and B-Mo scientist.

@Leaves

Do you mean 1600 or 16000? Because 1600 isn't that much.

[BCTheEntity]

@Leaves Actually, a thought occurs to me regarding Dirk and Feya's relationship: would she have any good reason to convince him to train with her? I can imagine that he might need to get stronger in order to not die in the Grand Line, and I can imagine Feya might find concern with his present strength, even if he has knowledge of some Rokushiki techniques. Since he's already decided he likes her anyway, I can't imagine convincing him to train will be too hard for her.

(Oh also you kind of need to figure out when and how Feya joins the Red Rum Pirates. Just figured I ought to bring that up, since I noticed you hadn't done that yet. Check the PiratePad and Discord for suggestions about that.)

@BCTheEntity

Oh, I was thinking my character would enforce weekly regimen workouts.

Yeah, I already have a plan in thought process. I just need to know when I join, am I the sixth person to join? Fifth? Seventh?

<Snipped quote by Leaves>

Do you mean 1600 or 16000? Because 1600 isn't that much.

@floodtalon

16,000 is horribly large. You have a more appropiate number? I do now see that 1600 is a bit small.

[BCTheEntity]

@Leaves I believe Cedric meets up with Lily and Bonesword at the same time to form the initial crew, whilst Caesar is joining last for certain. I don't mind when Dirk joins, but it looks like Slick will be joining seventh, and if we assume Isuza joins sixth, it could be the case that Feya joins either fourth or fifth. Old Amsterdam suggested Dirk have something to do with Feya joining, so that'd put her neatly as the fifth crew member. Again, I suggest you check the PiratePad for information on that idea, as well as the Discord for chat about relationships and etcetera.

[Old Amsterdam]

And....

Caesar is done, assuming nothing else comes up to be added.

[Gardevoiran]

@Leaves
Maybe like 4000 calories? That's double the average human.

Also, I should probably bring up that a gallon of milk a day is pretty expensive considering milk is milk and you have to cool the milk.

[BCTheEntity]

@Banana Double the average human female. Or at least the rounded average for human females. If you really want her to be a hardcore active beeyotch, @Leaves, you gotta go with the easy 5000, which is double the rounded average for a human male.

[ProPro]

Or you can keep the 16000 mark since this is One Piece and normal human limits are laughably pathetic and weak. ;)

[BCTheEntity]

@ProPro Well then it has to be 25000 calories a day. If you're gonna go big, you have to go REALLY big.

[Leaves]

I think I might go between and say 10,000.

[BCTheEntity]

@Leaves Neat. Don't forget to check the PiratePad. Also, out of curiosity, what's the likelihood that Feya will learn Life Return at some point? It seems like the sort of ability she'd figure out for herself, since her body is so important to her.

[ProPro]

@Asura There hasn't been any progress on your nakama section, and we haven't been able to determine exactly when Isuza joins relative to the others. I was clear from the beginning that this game was going to require open communication between all players. Despite that, you've demanded that you only be addressed on Discord and everyone abandon other avenues of discussion (an absurd notion since Discord is a chat program that requires everyone be available simultaneously, which is impossible for numerous reasons) even though any discussion made there isn't permanent and can be lost amongst the chatter. That's why we have this OOC, and the pirate pad, to act as permanent records that can be referenced at any time. Yet when people have tried to address you on Discord, you have either offered no discussion in return and/or immediately left. So we can't hash out these details even if we go by your preference. You see how this completely defeats the purpose?

As it stands, pretty much everyone is done or nearly done with relationships and establishing when they joined the crew, and under what circumstances. If you can't be on for these discussions for one reason or another, then, well, communicate that. If you're fine with the relationships that everyone else comes up with and have nothing to add? Tell us as much, then add it to your CS on the character tab. Bottom line, this is a communication-based game and you knew that when you joined. So I need to see some progress soon, or at least be given a reason why that's not possible. Consider this a first warning for lack of participation.

[Leaves]

Mizushima Isuza:

Feya cannot help but appreciate Isuza’s company now and then. Her demeanor and mannerisms differentiate from the rest of the crew. She is less noisy than the other crewmates; however, Feya does realize this is due to her lack of social skills. It doesn’t bother Feya in the slightest. The fitness physician does try to demonstrate that she is someone Isuza can comfortably talk to.

Feya does want Isuza to have more confidence; with little effort, she may put Isuza on the spot during some situations. This is usually so the other crew mate’s can hear her ideas and/or opinions. It can be difficult talking over people and Feya knows this exactly well.

Feya respects Isuza’s compassion for others. Her general honesty is a characteristic that Feya appreciates in an equal. More importantly, the resolve and dedication in Isuza command a great deal of respect from Feya. The woman can only see herself in the fisher girl. The willingness to complete a goal deserves a salute.

There is a hint of jealousy from Fitness Feya. She is fixated on training her body through ridiculous methods and has gone through enormous punishment to reach her current state. Isuza is gifted in strength as Feya due to her fisherman heritage. It does put pressure on Feya as she compares herself to Isuza. It’s odd too comparing the height sizes on Feya and Isuza.

She noticed Isuza loves swimming competitions. Feya usually instigates these matches from time to time. It would be a huge milestone if she could outswim a fisherman. No matter her strength, Isuza is a talented swimmer. Feya is always a few seconds behind. Feya hides her true motives and relies on the charade that it’s simply a game. But she does truly want to win. The score is currently 0-24. Despite the score, Feya does want to beat her once, just once.

The woman has been planning to curse herself with a Devil Fruit in the future as a testament to becoming stronger. Feya recognizes that she will be strong enough to partake in a Devil Fruit when she is able to swim faster than Isuza.

Cedric Daniel Boone:

Feya’s first few weeks as a crew member on the Red Rum Pirates was uncomfortable. Everything conflicted with her choices of fitness and resolve. Alcohol in excessive amounts was hazardous to the body system. She wondered how she could be part of the crew.

Though after many interactions, she learned how to cope with it. Many of the crew members did have their quirks but they all meant well. Feya appreciated the help back then and knew she was on a ship filled with morally sound individuals. They did have a few unhealthy habits, but as a fitness physician, she could help break those limits.

Feya is concerned about the captain’s drinking. She imagined that she would never be in a condition to follow a man who excessively drinks, but it was the man’s kindness for others that made her stay. Cedric’s concern for his subordinates’ dreams is an exceptional quality that Feya holds in high regards.

The drinking is an issue that Feya does address a lot. Usually, she will knock the captain, on the noggin if he is drunk or nearing intoxication. His age mixed with drinking is not recommended. And she does try to encourage fitness on the ship to fix his beer belly issue.

Cedric’s age and compassion for others do remind Feya of someone from her past. She believes this is also another reason she decided to stay with the Red Rum Pirates. It could be a sign of things and why she constantly tries to watch over Cedric’s health.

Feya reminds herself that Cedric is the captain. Her conceitedness has given her a superiority complex. She has a difficult time to follow commands at times, but after a bit of meditating, she does come back to her senses. It is challenging to hold someone above her after much time of fending for herself and acting independently. Pirate crew wasn’t what she predicted in her life.

Though she does try to ensure Cedric that she cares of the crew’s physical health and his included, in an uninformed manner.

Lilliana Merrycure:

Feya finds Lilliana’s entire persona cute. There is a lot of spunk in most of her actions. Her motherly nature towards other crew members is comforting to witness. Feya can see her heartening nature as she does take elation in supporting others. The concern for others was a characteristic similar to Feya.

More importantly, Lilliana is established to medically help those in need. Though different in branches of study, Lilliana and Feya are both doctors. This motivated the fitness physician to converse with the scientist during more occasions. Lilliana might be the only person who understood Feya’s vocabulary about myology and kinesiology. The machine fetish was weird, but it was basically Feya’s passion for fitness.

Though Lilliana is motherly to the crew, Feya’s feelings are different. From her shortness and smaller physique, Feya began to think of Lilliana more of a sister, a little sister to be exact. The woman does badger everyone about physical fitness, workout, and dieting, but she does it less to Lilliana. This is practically her method of “pampering” Lilliana. Feya sometimes refers to Lilliana as “Lily” only because it would slip out in conversation. On occasion, she may tell Lily to skip a workout or start her cheat day.

There is a particular characteristic about Lilliana that perplexes Feya. Her “B-Mo” brings some concerns regarding her internal organs and skeletal structure. It is a medical phenomenon that stumps Feya with many questions. By appearance, the biological metallic organism has not done any harm to her body. Feya sometimes forgets that Lily has metal inside her.

One awkward moment occurred when Feya was performing monthly physical check-ups. She had Lilliana step onto a scale and saw the dial spin toward a number out of her body weight area. “You’re overweight,” Feya bluntly said. It was very awkward afterward.


@yoshua171@Asura@Spiffy

That is everyone. I will begin fleshing out my character's backstory and adding a few details I forgot.

[ProPro]

@Leaves These are all great, I love them. Remember to edit them into the Nakama section on your CS.

[BCTheEntity]

How's everybody doing at the moment? Well, I presume?

[ProPro]

I'm doing pretty well. Things are still hectic as balls in my life, but so far so good. I'm getting some overtime hours that I get to work from home with a laptop they give me, so that's awesome.

Anyway, time for a little announcement for all players. @Leaves@yoshua171@Spiffy@Asura@floodtalon@Banana@BCTheEntity@Old Amsterdam

We're really close to getting this thing launched, and I'd prefer to do that sooner rather than later. I know some of you have a few more relationships to finish up, which I'd love to see, so here's what we'll do. Leaves, the only thing left that we absolutely need right now is to decide when Feya joins the crew, and under what circumstances that happens in. Since her personality is very much against the overall social paradigm of the crew, I think it'd be best if something important happens to inspire her to get on board the ship. The timeline of events is available on the pirate pad, but here's a brief overview of how things are right now.

Cedric sets out to make his own crew, away from the ships he's sailed with in the past. > Bonesword and Lilliana meet up and begin traveling together. > Cedric meets BS and Lilli, they agree to be his first recruits and sail around in a small ship. > Isuza joins, bringing with her the Rum Runner, a larger, more stable ship for a bigger crew. > Dirk stows away on the ship, hijinks ensue, the crew cause a ruckus on Yuushuu Island, destabilizing the established government, messing with the nobles that control it, and leaving the slaves in a state of uprising. Crew gets their first bounties for this action. > Slick finds the ship, tries to burn it down but falls overboard, is saved from drowning by Isuza and decides to join as chef. > About a week later, Caesar is found wrestling a shark in the ocean, the crew "rescues" him, and he stays aboard because he's too lazy to leave and doesn't bother correcting them about how he was never in trouble. > 3 days later, present day.

So basically Feya can be slipped in anywhere after BS and Lilli join, and anytime before Caesar joins. We also need you to edit in the relationships you've made into your CS (it's still blank, dude).

Once this crucial point is determined, I can begin the game, and the rest of the relationships can be written out/determined over time. Sound good, mateys?
