Always Open


"There once was bandit named Jesse James, who was the no doubted King of the Desert.
He had fame, power and wealth beyond your wildest dreams.
Before they hung him from the gallows, these were the final words he said.
"My fortune yours for the taking, but you'll have to find it first. I left everything I own in One Piece."
Ever since, bandits, desperadoes and looter from all over the world saddled their horses for the grand desert searching for One Piece, the treasure that will make their dreams come true."

This shocked the world of Dahl, which is only covered in 30% water. From the green fields towards the ghastly and deadly desert everyone heard that message.

It has been 3 years now since that happened and people from all over the world decided to search for that treasure but with such a huge competition danger is also involved. Many people formed groups to increase their chances and even more are willingly to step over anyone who stand in their way.

The government couldn´t allow such a rough act and also took counter measures. They agreed on so called Death-dealer, criminals who are getting a second chance by now working for the government, also increased law-enforcers and rumors are spreading of armored vehicles with brand new technology which are able to set whole cities in flames in just minutes.

The world is about to change, an old era is about to end and when it ends, it will end in fire and flames~ but what will your role be? Are you acting against those increasing numbers of law-less fools, anarchists who are standing in the way of the government and so the progress of the Republic?

Or are you one of those who are opposing the government? Those with a wish of freedom, those who are rather dying than to be enslaved by rules or heritage?

What is your role? What is your will?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Well welcome to my roleplay~

As you can see this a One Piece Roleplay with a twist!
This isn´t a pirate´s life, This is the wild wild west!

Devil fruits will be around even though a white sand called~ celeste blanco~ less is known about that substance but it does robs the power of devil fruit users and leaves them paralyzed. While in small amounts it does lesser harm, a devil fruit user has to look out for greater deals of that sand when accumulating on his body since that sand is partially also contained in the everydays sand ones come in contact with.
While one thinks that only keeping you clean would helps one hasn´t seen the white deserts~ Places which are consisting only of this so called "celeste blanco".
Showing great effect on Devil fruit users the Government hired researchers who forged that sand into metal, creating an alloy called "Celeste Zero"
It is a rare alloy since creating it is rather expensive and comes with huge cost of time and resources but never the less have the government and it´s enforcers some "Celeste Zero" in store.

Proper knowledge of spelling and grammer is expected in the in character (Run your posts through a spellchecker and you should be good).

Rules
1. I assume you are all mature and know the normal rules (ie. no mary-sues, gary-stues, god-modding, etc.)
2. This is not a completely serious roleplay, humor will be involved things such as the ridiculous devil fruit powers and weird personalities are allowed and to an extent expected, but don’t bog down the roleplay by putting jokes where they don’t belong or being downright offensive.
3. Absolutely no canon characters or copycats! Similar abilities is allowed, but original is encouraged.
4. No Haki without good reasons~
5. Each Player is allowed one character at the current time.
6. Remember a weak character allows more potential to grow~ Sure they do not have to be a little good-for-nothing but i do not want Shanks growing out of everywhere.
7. Feel free to add things to this world~ I want this to grow beyond yours and my imagination~
9. If you have questions about the One Pice Universe, check out the Wiki !
10. Remember have fun and help make this an enjoyable roleplay!

If I may, wouldn't it be better to use Jesse James as a replacement for Gol D. Roger? I know Billy the Kid is an easy to identify name but James and his gang were more prolific robbers and James also (somehow) earned a reputation for being a sort of Robin Hood-like figure, which serves to further inspire people. Also gives you a nice possible antagonist in Robert Ford, who in this universe likely sold James out and got himself a nice position in the world government. Uh, I'm interested in case you couldn't tell.

Sableyezer, why not just describe him as such? Still, try looking for pictures of Edward William Barton-Wright, you might find what you need.

Also, making it so devil fruits make you vulnerable to ALL water contact ever feels wierd. It'd make cleanliness awful and hydration even worse, and hydration's a big deal when water is precious since there's so little of it. Why not trade it for something more fitting of the new setting? Say, a good deal of the land is made up of...I dunno, lets call them Heavensand deserts to play off Devil Fruits. The white sand from these deserts drains all strength from those who've eaten devil fruits when they step foot on it, are engulfed by a sandstorm or are otherwise in contact with large amounts of it, meaning those who've consumed devil fruits must be extremely careful when traversing those deserts and must prevent large amounts of the sand from accumulating on their bodies. Instead of Seastone, you just have the world government refine Heavensand into a special white iron for weapons, cuffs, horseshoes, prison bars and the like. If you want to keep the material rare like seastone you can just make the process extremely time-consuming, difficult, expensive and potentially even unreliable.

Speaking of devil fruits, logia ones. Since they're so powerful and haki, which in the original is by far the biggest counter sans rare seastone weapons, is apparently rare, are players allowed to have logia powers? ONE MORE THING! We could probably rewrite Haki into some kind of native american/folklore thing to make it better fit with the setting.

You know~ i needed you when i was writing this~~~ Because you are stating all those things that made me feel uncomfortable with this but i still couldn´t tell what was off~~

Changes are accepted~

And Logias are allowed thou~ I want this roleplay to be much like the original OP, at least the red string. We start low and train our selves higher... starting directly from the top always feel weird from me and really...isn´t the feeling of letting your character grow during the rp the best?^^

Logia users are hideously powerful both offensively and defensively and are only really countered by something very specific in the powers roulette, which they can often counter themselves such as Crocodile with his dehydrating abilities, and then there's seastone and haki, both of which are rare. The fruits themselves are also incredibly rare to boot. There's a good narrative reason why Luffy's crew has no logia users to this day and the majority of the Logia users are enemies or not directly allied with the Straw Hats. If the goal is starting from the bottom and heading up then I feel starting with a logia should be banned, same with mythical zoan fruits which are supposedly even rarer and oftentimes just as powerful. You could introduce them as rewards for good players with no fruit powers later on, if they want them. Well, that's just my opinion.

@malmshodes: Yes it is still open~ It is infact always open

@Zero Hex: I will allow Logia types~ But as stated above people need good reasons to have em...just writing "i feel like it" isn´t enough. If someone does want to play as a mayor antagonist i do feel satisfied with him having a logia type~
Really it does depend on the player and on what he plans to do with it~

Also i hope more people will join~~~ since regarding on WHAT characters they send in, i already have different plots and possibilities for them~

And do not hesitate to share your plot ideas or the idea for NPC characters~

Name: James "The Wild man" Hook

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Appearance:
James is about 5 feet and seven inches tall and has a slim figure. His rather ordinary but slim athletic build makes him surprisingly quick on his feet.
James is a rather many fellow despise his slim build, a strong jaw-line would be topped with a edged face, the strong jaw-muscles are standing out a bit but are hiding my a fancy beard he keeps in shape.
His facial hair and normal hair is mud brown and so really ordinary but all in all he´s not a person one would forget since a charismatic but still mischievous aura is surrounding him.

History: Alan Hook was a gambler, County Deputy Sheriff, and Deputy Town Marshal in Tombstone and took part in the Gunfight at the Corral during which lawmen killed three outlaw Cowboys. He was a good and loyal man towards the government and had a beautiful wife, Elisabeth Lawman who was later Elisabeth Hook.
During the years Alan Hook grew quiet famous and got promoted to be an official part of high ranked government group called the "CP". Less is know about that group but when they are involved it always ends messy!
What Alan did not knew as he left his wife behind to follow his career is that he left her with an unborn child. Quietly, not wanting to disturb the man she loved, Elisabeth gave birth to a boy, a boy she called James, a figure of her favorite novel.
As she gave birth to him complications made her sick, yet not the verge of death but forcing her to the bed. Thanks to that James grew up with no father and soon had to take care of his sick mother. He came independent quiet early and also grew quiet because he outsmarted and outgrew most boys his age.
Anyways, during the years his mother rarely spoke of James father but also often scolded James if he started to speak ruthlessly about him. he could not understand how he could have left his mother in such a situation, he wondered what a coward he was and never wanted to meet him.

It was a though life for James who early had to take different kind of jobs, he sold his body for simple tasks like chopping wood, to creating traps to even hunting or washing dirty clothes. Yet in ended abruptly as his mother died when he was 18 years old. It was during the world wide message that Jesse James got killed and that the group who captured him was a so called "CP" who therefor trampled over many innocents just to get this single man.

James mother recognized her husband and wondered how such a wonderful man could have become such a ruthless man? When she once knew him, he would have never believed that he would walk over innocents lifes to just get a single man. Her heart skipped....and never started to beat again.
As James returned to his home there was a bunch of people waiting for him there and what they wanted to say to him hit him hard. Without looking back, because he was not able to he left Tombstone and headed west....

James did many things after his mother died and took a path which leads between the two fronts which are getting ready for the war. He is a bounty hunter with no official affliction towards the government and also did the one or other crime~
Yet the ties of fate have to decide which side he will take~
Right now he´s in Western-town. A small lovely village and gathering man for a dangerous job which will change his course forever.

Personality: James once was a quiet and introverted child, this was the cause of growing up with no father and acting as the man of the household way too early. After his mother´s death he changed dramatically and does not really know how to react to certain things since he never really faced his mother´s death. Yet he is a charismatic person who is always up for a joke or two but also is very sensitive~ Yet being sensitive he does not like to show that side since he feels uncomfortable with it, this also comes to the prize that he does take his time to fully trust people, for him trust has to be gained by actions instead of words~

Other: James is a horrible cook~ NEVER eat something he cooks! He will just let it boil so long that everything has the same color....and really everything does taste the
same then as well...plain and...plain!

Bounty: -none yet even thou he did the one or other crime but none of these were actually reported to the government yet since they were too small-

Weapons: -a larger-caliber Springfield Model 1863 he is calling Lucretia Borgia after the legend of a beautiful, ruthless Italian noblewoman Lucrezia Borgia. This weapon is strapped with leather belts on his back

- a small two barreled Derringer pistol, he keeps that one under his armpit.

-Two bowie-knives, where he is one hiding in his boot and the other on his belt.

Devil Fruit: -none yet-

Abilities:
James is a skilled marksman with every large-caliber weapon, gibe him a rifle and he shoots you a feather from a bird in 100 yards distance. Yet he lacks close combat experience and enough force to actually damage an enemy. While he has a slim athletic built he puts it to use and so is naturally quick on his feets and easily out runs his enemy.

He is good at setting desertions and so confusing the enemy while playing a "hit-and-run" game. Furthermore he is good at foretelling the changes of weather which comes as a natural gift and he can so easily predict if there is a dangerous sand-storm coming or if it is going to rain soon~

He is a rather good trapper and hunter, yet he lacks experience and knowledge but sure knows his fields around them, same goes with explosives. He sure knows how to use them but everything going beyond that is out of his league.

Equipment: James wear heavy leather boots, his trusty duster and his desperado-duster-hat as a common outfit weather it might be official or not.
Furthermore he has a pulver-horn filled with black powder for his Derringer (it is an old Model)
Some rods of dynamite (x3)
And a backpack filled with food and water for 3 days worth (Not wanna get hungry out there would you?)

I would rather say~~~ He is the one "leading" you^^
Since no one "dared" to post a CS so far i made him!!!! He was my plan C~ Someone who´s in between the two sites~

As a gm i will more act as a leading role since i want the player to take actions and to decide what to do~ i will therefor react and let the surrounding world react accordingly to that~ So if a players decides to burn down a village i will let bounty hunters take care of him and people be scared of him~
If the player decided to be a cheater all the way~~~ well he shouldn't´t be surprised if he has to prove himself in a duel when someone caught him~
When the group actually achieves something great i will the world knew they did~~~

I think this way everyone can play their role as they seem fit but also gets some parts of the cakes~
If i would let this roleplay completely player decided...it could end that one acts as the villain and so gets overwhelmed quickly when others play as the good guys~

Also~

WHERE ARE THE THE PEOPLE! I mean....does my idea sounds THAT bad that so few take interest in it? I mean if something is off people can still share their ideas to improve this rp and to turn into one they like! I mean i am not a complete asshole and destroying every good meant comment on this rp or am i?
