Romance Dawn: A High Casual One Piece RP

Welcome young pirate to the world of One Piece!
Here, you shall be exposed to an age of romanticism filled with adventure and piracy. No prior knowledge of the One Piece world is needed, but if any one feel like reading up, you may access this site: One Piece

Premise:

Premise

20 years have passed since the last Pirate King roamed the seas. Monkey D. Luffy and his band of merry men were notorious throughout the world for traversing the mysterious Grand Line, conquering the New World and obtaining the truth about the origins of both the World Government and the network of sailors who call themselves, Pirates. Towards the end of his journey, Luffy had obtained the respect of many islands and focused his attention on cleaning up the seas of those who he deemed to be 'bad'. However, although he managed to rid the world of many evil Pirates and Marines alike, the world inevitably keeps turning and history continues to repeat itself in the form of new dreamers setting sail onto the greatest sea in the world. Not long after he ascended to the seat of Pirate King, the greatest crew in the world simply vanished. Without a trace or word, there was nobody left alive who could account for the whereabouts of the Straw-Hats, some hypothesized that in order to live a peaceful life the Straw-Hats had took it upon themselves to flee to Raftel, or one of the Sky-Islands, where they would forever remain undisturbed till the end of their days. On the year of the turtle, Luffy declared that he had left the greatest treasure ever to have existed, One Piece, in its rightful place, waiting there for the next crew who were destined to become the new kings of the sea. Ushering the world into the next era, whispers float through the Grand Line and the Blues, the seat of Pirate-King is once again up for grabs and those who seek power, fame and fortune are once again sailing towards their dreams.

The race for One Piece has once again, begun.

Your Role in the Story:

Role

So, you'll be playing as rookie pirates. You can start your own crew and I'll allow you to have an NPC or two that would accompany your character that'll play as the captain. Also, If you don't feel like making your own, you can just join someone else's. If that still doesn't please you, then you can go solo, but that wouldn't be that fun, and the chances of dying would probably be higher. I've already got a general plot thought out and I'll reveal it as the RP progresses. Also, in terms of how dark this RP will be, you can probably go as far as you want as long as you're not disobeying any RP Corner Rules. Be as cunning as Law, reckless as Luffy, profane as Bartholomeo, or as merciless and bloodthirsty as Kid or Akainu; your choice really. And if you're not sure what Stat to get, you can ask around or just request for help like just asking for a random Devil Fruit.

Character Sheet:

Character Sheet

Name: What people call you. A name and not a moniker or epithet.
Age: Nothing too young or old. Its not fun seeing the elderly get beaten up; same goes for kids.
Race: You must be something. Please feel free to tell us what that something is.
Height and Weight: Since size varies in the One Piece world, its gonna be helpful to have an idea how large or small your character is.

[Appearance]
 
Bounty: 0 Beli
Personality: Tell us what makes you tick. 
History: Everyone likes a good story. Also, the RP is going to start at Lougetown.

Abilities: You are capable of what again? You get one. This could be a Devil Fruit, a fight style, or anything of the like. Please don't go overboard though; you guys are rookie pirates.
Techniques: No need to fill this up right a way. Its just a place to dump the moves you'll probably repeatedly use over the course of the story.
Traits: Just leave this blank for now.
Inventory: Only the important stuff. Having a picture of your father isn't important to me.

IC is up as well.

[Duthguy]

This could definitely be interesting and I would like to request a random Devil Fruit before starting my cs

[Jabber]

Would you want it to be kept a secret via PM or is it fine if I post it here?

[DAWNSTAR]

And thus I give my interest. I will look into the devil fruit types they currently have listed and see what they have in the world. Also, just a quick reminder for those who don't know, there can only be one user of a devil fruit. For example, luffy was the user of the gum-gum fruit and thus nobody else had it. When he died(if he did) the fruit would have been remade and it will be out there in the world.

[thanatosDefiant]

Interested. Would also like to request a random devil fruit before getting started. I wouldn't mind if you decided to post it here.

[DAWNSTAR]

Quick question: could Busoshoku Haki(armament haki) be a technique or would it be considered a Ability? Ignore that. I am just going to stick to Nitoryu for now. But, I do want to know if it is possible for us to gain haki abilities. I know that the Haosokhu haki is not likely to be one anybody will have but I just wanted to know about Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku.

Edit: Here is a list of Devil Fruit that are known to exist in the anime.

[I-Am-X]

Will we be able to create our own devil fruits? I know on batoto you mentioned that we could but I just wanted to make sure if its fine here. I don't plan on making a devil fruit, just thought i'd say something.

[Jabber]

@DAWNSTAR - All three types of Haki will be available at some point in the story. I'll be giving them out based on the character's growth both physically and mentally. I'd like to make it fit the scenario as well; something like having a teacher showing you guys how Busoshoku Haki works or after experiencing a near death event, it suddenly awakens. That of sort of thing.

Thanks for the list, but I'm well aware of all canon DF. I know you also did that for the benefit of those who are unaware. I'll be introducing several self-made/non-canon DFs as well;

Nitoryu is fine. Don't forget to add your own personal flare to it; you know, to make it unique and different from Zoro's.

@Thanatos
You get the Bomu Bomu no Mi (Bomb Bomb Fruit) - Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to make any part of his or her body explode, whether it be hair, mucus, or breath, making the user a Bomb Human. The fruit's main strength is that the user can turn their body parts into a bomb with no harm done to the user. The explosive quality extends to emissions such as mucus and breath. The fruit also grants immunity against all other explosions, as well as the ability to evaluate their quality.

Just keep in mind that your mastery of the fruit would not be at its pinnacle just yet.Remember, you are all starting as rookie pirates.

@I-am-X
Yup, you are allowed to. My only job is to check whether they either good for RP usage or not.

[I-Am-X]

hm, Will Kitsunebi-ryu be alright in this RP?
And if I had that, would that prevent me from ever getting a devilfruit?
Thought I'd ask.

Also, is there a limit on how high our starting bounty is?
Considering we're rookies after all.

[Jabber]

You are allowed to but you have to give a good convincing history (Not necessarily long.)

As for your second question, not at all.

Regarding one's bounty, you guys start as 0. If you want to be assigned one, include the crime or action your character committed. I'll base it from that.
Also, everyone should know that having a higher bounty would make your journey more difficulty. So if you have one at the start, you'll definitely get more attention from Marines and Bounty Hunter alike.

If needed, I will send people to jail. You know, to make it more realistic.

[I-Am-X]

A convincing story of how the character was able to learn it? hm
I'll have some work to do then.

weee!

[Jabber]

I'll be looking forward to it.
Good luck.

[Daisuke]

I'm still very interested in this, though I already have a pre-made character who has a Devil Fruit. Do I still have to request a random Devil Fruit before I post my character sheet though?

[Jabber]

Not really.
The random DF option was only for those who had a hard time thinking of a ability.

[DAWNSTAR]

So, let's say that I want a bounty on my character. What bounty would he have if he committed murder?

[Duthguy]

Once again I would like to request a random DF

[thanatosDefiant]

Almost done with my CS, just need to finish up appearance, inventory, and add some techniques.

[Diminuendo]

This is cool! Can I 'reserve' a devil fruit?

[DAWNSTAR]

Well this is my currently working app. I am not sure if I am okay with the history quite yet but I will see how it works.

Vis

Name: Vis Conrine
Age: 24
Race: Shandia
Height and Weight: 6'1", 190 lbs

---

---

Bounty: Murder(Three people, two criminals and one marine)

Personality: Vis's ideals focus around the common theme of honor. Without honor there would be no reason for him to live. Vis has never been one to lie or hurt those who are innocent. Vis believes that one must prove themselves before trust can be given. Yet, he does not believe that one must prove that they deserve respect. Vis gives everyone he meets equal amounts of respect until they prove that they shouldn't have the respect or if they deserve more. It is rare for Vis to crack under stress. His temper is a wild beast that has made him more than a few enemies.

History: Not much is known about Vis's past but from what he has told people, he was born in Shandia Village in Skypiea. His life there was simple. His father worked as a cloud cutter while his mother took care of him. When Vis was eight years old, his father enrolled him in a class in swordsmanship. Vis was slow to learn with the katana but he was determined to be the best of his class. By fourteen years old, Vis was capable of beating his father in a battle but he wasn't top of his class. There was always a person who was ahead of him, his brother Kusinga. His brother was the same age as him but was always able to beat him.

Vis eventually switched from fighting with one blade to fighting with two blades. Though his training in Nitoryu was slow, Vis was able to create two techniques before he was eighteen. These two moves were what allowed him to finally beat his brother in a one on one duel. After beating his brother, Vis was given two katanas called Gurikari and Zaminri. The Gurikari was Vis's father's balde while Zaminri was his brother's. Vis left Shandia Village when he turned ninteen. He was looking for something more than cutting clouds, he was looking for adventure. Vis joined a crew of pirates for two years until they murdered a few innocents. When a marine tried to place the crime solely on him, Vis took the punishment of death as a dishonor to his name despite fact that he didn't do the crime. Vis murdered the marine and a few nearby criminals . He has been on the run since.

Vis has been on the run since that day. He was ashamed of himself and turned towards being a pirate again. He traveled with a band of pirates until they stopped in Water 7 where he decided to break off and form his own crew. The small pirate ship he had was fitting for the small crew he had with him and the left for Lougetown. While in Lougetown, Vis heard that the One Piece was up for grabs and posted a notice that he was looking for a few extra people to crew his ship.

---

Abilities: Kumokenryu(Cloud Blade Style)

Techniques:
Mirror Image- This move is a combat techinque that Vis uses. During this form of attack, Vis weaves his baldes(Gurikari and Zaminri) in and out as he strikes at his opponent. The weaving blades look almost as if they were one blade being mirrored across the surface of water or glass. Vis will always lead in with Gurikari, his left hand katana, and follow in with a strike from Zaminri, his right hand katana.

Twin Strikes- Vis takes the position in which Gurikari and Zaminri are both held vertically. This combat stance is used to strike with both blades at the same time. These strikes are often slower than the strikes in Mirror Image but hit heavier. These slower strikes often leave Vis open for attacks which is why he rarely uses the stance.

Saikuronkōn(Cyclone Blades)-This battle stance is one in which Vis pivots on his heels with the spines of both his katanas running along his forearms. This technique is known for the fact that it is both defensive and offensive. When Vis uses it for defense, he simply rotates on his heels to form a protective barrier with the blades. The offensive mode, on the other hand, is where Vis not only pivots on his heels but also steps forward in doing so. The cyclone slowly advances towards Vis's opponent until contact his made. Vis has been trying to perfect the Cyclone Blades ability but has yet been able to move at a quick pace or rotate while in the air.

Sutoraiku! Kaze no burēdo.(Strike! Wind Blades)- Vis sends two pressure waves towards the opponent in a horizontal fashion followed by two vertical pressure waves. The two waves combine together and strike at the same time with speed equal to the total velocity of the first set combined with half the velocity of the second set. The waves are not a cutting tool but aren't purely blunt. They are a sort of in between of the two with the capacity of cutting at higher speeds.

Traits:
-Power of Destruction - Vis is able to transfer the force of a cut over a distance of 5 feet by swinging his sword at high speed, creating a blade of compressed air.

Inventory:

-Gurikari and Zaminri

[thanatosDefiant]

Quick question: is it all right if we write our appearance instead of using a picture?
