One-Piece Reboot

[Archmage MC]

And what about what I've been asking about that door door made portal portal fruit? How do you want that one to be working?

[Card Captor]

Awesome! There's a DF that I've always wanted to try out on a complete noob Name: Jonathan Joestar Age: 17 Race: Human Height and Weight: 132 lbs/60 kg. 5'6"/169 cm Bounty: 0 Beli Personality: Jonathan is normally a meek and gentle boy, however he isn't afraid to fight. Because of his heritage, he's always afraid of abusing his power like the rest of his family, which is part of the reason why he only fights as a last resort. As a doctor, Jonathan would rather fix someone then break them. Because he grew up with only his busy mother and the doctor who trained him, He doesn't really know how to interact with people his own age, so he can come across as social awkward sometimes. He's very eager to please and has a very kind and nurturing nature. Hurting people he cares about is a good way to make him forget about his fear of abusing his powers and only fighting as a last resort History:

Strap yourselves in kids, this one is long

The general populace is under the impression that every World Noble is a cruel and self-centered asshole who doesn't care who they step on...while not too far of, it isn't quite the truth. One World Noble, a women named Jennifer, was quite frankly appalled at how many criminal acts they could get away with...although not at first. When Jennifer was 14 years old, a ship that her family was on got attacked my pirates (not aware of the on-bord World Nobles). Instead of pillaging the ship, the pirates instead just destroyed it from their own ship. Not many people survived the ship's destruction, and it was only made worse by the fact that this happened during a nasty storm. Although Jennifer survived, she was separated from her family and carried away by the waves. When she awoke, she found herself washed up on the beach of a small island with her clothing torn in several places (and her air helmet missing). She was soon found by a band of pirates who were staying there. While she tried to assort her authority as a world noble to get make them find her a replacement for her helmet and then to take her home, the captain just laughed at her, saying that she had no way of enforcing her authority on her own. When it finally hit Jennifer that she was completely powerless, she broke down. The next year was a real eye opening experience for her. First, she had to learn to breath without an air helmet, something that came to her quick out of necessity. Second, she had to learn how to take care of herself. While the captain let her stay with his crew while they were on the island, she had to pull her own weight. Her will to live soon won over her pride. By the time a Navy ship found her (the pirate crew hiding so Jennifer could be rescued without any unneeded complications), she was a changed girl. However she didn't leave the island empty handed; right before the pirates went into hiding, the captain gave her the Hito Hito no Mi Model: Daibutsu Devil Fruit, which she promptly ate Once back home, she found that her family had all survived the pirate attack, much to her relief. Although something that disturbed her greatly was just how much the World Noble's behavior and treatment of others horrified her. None of this was new to her, but her time spent on that island had changed her greatly. So much so that she began to actively work on getting the government to remove many of the World Noble's privileges...needless to say, her family didn't like this. Deciding to take action, her father had her married to World Noble named Dio Brandy. Jenifer didn't like him. While forced married life did indeed put an end to to her days of lobbying, it hadn't cowed her. Once she found out that she was pregnant, she immediately realized that se couldn't allow her child to be raised in the same environment that she had been. So on the day young Jonathan Brandy was born, she used her Devil Fruit powers to escape with her son, renouncing her status as a World Noble as she did. After leaving Mariejois, Jenifer changed her last name to Jostar, in memory of the pirate crew who opened her eyes. Likewise, Jonathan's last name changed as well. Raising Jonathan alone proved to be tough, especially in his early years, but she managed to keep them both alive. By the time Jonathan was five, they had reached Lougetown, somewhere Jenifer felt was far enough away from the home of the World Nobles to be safe (relatively speaking). Now with a home and a steady job, Jenifer was better able to provide for her son. While she hid her background from people, she didn't hide it from Jonathan, telling him everything once he was eight (she even showed him some of the Hito Hito no Mi Model: Daibutsu powers in secret). For a few years, things were peaceful, Jonathan was even taken on as an apprentice by the local doctor...until one day when Jonathan was 15. Jenifer suddenly came down with some kind of illness. Due to a lack of supplies, the resident doctor couldn't cure her. Thus Jenifer was doomed to die. On her deathbed, she asked Jonathan to bring her a fruit of any kind. Hurrying, Jonathan grabbed a pear and brought it to his dying mother. Taking the fruit from him, she told Jonathan that she was entrusting her powers to him. Since she had done a lot of reading about Devil Fruits, she knew what would happen if a user died. As she expected, when she passed away, the pear in her hands became to new Hito Hito no Mi Model: Daibutsu. Without any hesitation, Jonathan ate the whole thing (yes, the whole thing. Even the parts that aren't edible). Ever since that day, Jonathan has been waiting for his chance; unable to trust the Marines who protect the corrupt World Nobles, he knew that his only chance to explore the world would be as part of a pirate crew...just like the one that took in his mother during her time on the island

Abilities: Hito Hito no Mi Model: Daibutsu Techniques: Traits: Inventory: 153 Beli and a few loafs of bread The only reason why I gave Jonathan's mom so much backstory is because I felt that much was required for a World Noble raised by normal World Nobles to not be an asshole

You're using magic Buddha powers to replicate the Ripple, aren't you?

[thanatosDefiant]

Do we use the same traits we got from the last RP? Also, I'll have my CS up soon. Someone was even kind enough to draw a picture of my character. But I've got to warn you, he kind of resembles Luffy. I didn't mean for it to happen, I just didn't realize how much like Luffy he looked until someone actually drew him. 0-0 EDIT: As a matter of fact, I'll just make a new character from scratch. There's a new idea for a character I've been meaning to try!

Amazing! I didn't think anyone would get that. You my good sir get a cookie ***edit Wow, I just realized how ridiculous it sounds when you say it like that

"Distant Shooter" Den Grimsly

Age: 16 Race: Birkan Height: 5'6 Weight: 64.0 kg (141 lbs) Bounty: Den Grimsly has no bounty. Rather, he hunts people with bounties as a Rookie Bounty Hunter. Personality: Grimsly tends to be quite calm inside and outside of combat, and is difficult to surprise. He is quite appreciative of many things he finds in the Grand Line, as he comes from the sky islands - where many of the things in the Grand Line do not exist. He approaches most of his problems through thinking, rather than charging in mindlessly. He can be quite obnoxious at times when it comes to strategies, and enjoys nothing more than poking holes in the supposed foolproof plans of others. In a group, he takes the role of a 'deadpan snarker', and is normally the voice which points out flaws during discussions. When in combat, Grimsly tries to abstain from speaking, maintaining his focus, but he has been known to make the odd taunting remark or two. He also tends to use the greeting 'Heso', as they do in Skypiea. History: WIP Grimsly hails from a Birkan family of Bounty Hunters. Before he was born, his family had moved from the warrior-filled sky island named Birka to the more peaceful and organized sky island; Skypiea. This did not excuse Grimsly from the battle-oriented culture of the Birkan race, and Grimsly was raised as both a Bounty Hunter and a warrior. His choice of weaponry had been decided fairly early in his life, as Grimsly demonstrated his gift of powerful eyesight at a young age. When he walked around Skypiea's beaches with his family, he would constantly point at things somewhat close to the horizon that were difficult to see, and would describe them with relative ease. He was taught how to utilize multiple forms of guns, cannons and bows as he came of age. At no point was he shown how to use any melee weapons - save for a dagger which didn't require much skill to wield effectively, and was only to be used when there was no other combat option. As a result, Grimsly has little proficiency when it comes to fighting at close ranges. Grimsly had a desire to collect different types of ranged weaponry, but felt extremely limited when it came to where he could go. Skypiea was only so big, and there would only be sea of clouds greeting him once he reached the sky island's edge. It was only in stories that he had heard of the fabled blue sea which supposedly lay below the cloud sea. It interested Grimsly as a collecter, and as a fighter. Through the use of a four-length bird, Grimsly was able to travel from the sky, to the blue sea below. He had managed to get to the Grand Line this way, and has arrived on his first island. Abilities: Marksmanship Den Grimsly is a marksman, and owns a various assortment of ranged weaponry; extending from the basic pistols to a long-range rifle or bazooka. His ranged arsenal even extends to a bow, a slingshot and two crossbows. In combat, Grimsly constantly switches his weapons. He may be found firing a pistol for the first few seconds of a fight, but may switch to his long-range rifle to take a shot at enemy crew member on an another ship. His constant weapon-shifting keeps enemies on their toes and wary. Naturally, Grimsly's focus on ranged weapons leaves him at a very clear disadvantage versus anyone who can close the distance between him and them, as he lacks a significant melee weapon to fight with, and wouldn't be very proficient with it regardless. This combat style always makes people question where he actually stores his weapons. Not even he knows. Vision His eyesight is exceptional, and he is able to see over much longer distances than the average person. He is able to make out people on faraway ships, making him valuable as a ship's lookout (although he tends to get quite bored, doing that). Dials Den Grimsly is a Birkan. A race that hails from the sky island of Birka; southeast of Skypiea. He shortly moved to Skypiea after birth, however. Grimsly has had access to, and has collected: Dials. He uses these Dials for combat, but some of these can be also be used outside of combat. Techniques: N/A Traits: N/A Inventory: Den Grimsly carries around a small bag which contains his Dials: . Two Jet Dials. . A Breath Dial. . An Impact Dial. . A Flash Dial. In addition, Den Grimsly also has a large assortment of non-specific ranged weaponry.

@Card Captor

If what you're playing doesn't sound absolutely ridiculous when said out loud it has no place in One Piece in my opinion. For full Dio his dad would have to have been a commoner who successfully murdered a World Noble and took his place, of course.

@Gentlemanvaultboy

1: There is wisdom in what you say 2: I really wanted to do that but I couldn't think of a way to do that without giving him that shape-shifting DF (since the World Nobles look down on pretty much anyone who isn't a decedent of the ten kings who founded the world government. So I don't see a commoner being accepted as one of them), and I don't think I can take a DF for a character in my character's back-story who likely isn't going to appear in the RP (I don't mind if he does, I just don't think it's going to happen)

[Gentlemanvaultboy]

I'm thinking a world noble bought a slave that looked a lot like him for the novelty, and then a golden opportunity presented itself.

@Gentlemanvaultboy

Eh. I still can't see the other World Nobles letting him get away with killing one of them. Remember what happened when Luffy just punched one? I can see a World Noble buying a slave that looked like him just for fun (hell, one of them was going to buy Keimi just to watch her outrun a pack of piranhas in his fish tank), what I don't see happening is people not knowing he's a slave (slave get branded, so if he managed to swap places with his owner then I can't see him hiding that mark forever. Especial if he looked like his master and they needed to confirm who was who). I didn't see much point to putting a lot of thought into his backstory (since I already put quite a lot into Johnathan's mom) since I don't expect him to appear in the RP
