[OOC] One Piece: Tales of a Lost Era

[Blaze Gamma]

In this world, there are four great seas, separated by two rings which wrap around the world. The first is a ring of land, and the second, a ring of ocean surrounded by waters where there are neither currents nor winds. In another time, these seas would be known as the Blues, and the rings would be the Red Line and Grand Line. In another time, a man known as Gol D. Roger would explore the Grand Line and conquer it, challenging pirates to find his treasure, the One Piece with his dying breath... Whether that time is far in the future of this world or far in the past, it cannot be said for certain. All that matters now is the tale of the brave adventurers who've taken it to themselves to conger the Last Ocean. These adventurers hail from the four Seas, and they yearn to discover what answers this world has to offer. This is the tale of one of those crews of brave men and women. ~~~~~ Okay, so here's the Character Sheet Template: Name: Age: Gender: Role: Appearance: Personality: Background: Unless there's some complaint, everyone will start in the Sea of Aqua (East Blue). Post your Character Sheets for approval. Your role is a role on the ship. CAPTAIN IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ROLE. The role of the captain will be voted for. Anyway, enjoy.

Name: Angelo Ortega Age: 20 Gender: Male Role: gunslinger/cannon user Appearance: Personality: carefree and happy not caring where he goes or what he does as long he gets two things: ale, and gold. Angelo is a smooth talker and can get people to instinctively put their trust in him and doesn't go anywhere unless he is armed to the teeth under his trench coat. Even In a horrible situation he will just laugh and smile using his sarcastic comments to keep the tension low regardless. Background: born in the west blue Angelo was told for a long time that his father was a pirate but he was never told who he was or what was his jolly roger. Even from a young age Angelo had a talent for firearms and weaponry, just about anything that goes boom in all honesty. Angelo trained and trained himself to never miss a shot and to quickly go through multiple guns at once knowing that most only gave him a single shot so he had to use more guns to compensate. He trained and trained and once he felt he was strong enough he believed it was time to go out to sea and put his skills to the true test and become the greatest gunslinger in the world.

Are devil fruits acceptable?

[Blaze Gamma]

Yes, just remember, if you've got a Logia, Mythical Zoan, or any ridiculously OP Paramecias, you do not have them mastered.

Appearance: Name: Ray-Ray Mustang Age: 25 Gender: Male Role: Ship Right Devil Fruit: Quisi-Quisi Fruit (Gives user the ability to transform into the element mercury, allowing them to be able to manipulate, shape, and create the liquid metal. This abilities greatest weakness is its susceptible to heat, in which it would melt and become unusable, and extreme cold, were it would become brittle, and electricity. This fruit makes user immune to poison, and acid.) Personality: Ray-Ray is seen as a serious young man with a moderate sense of humor. He acts like a gentleman since that the way he was raised. Ray-Ray is seen as a pessimist, he tends to expect the worse to happen when the wrong, or illogical choice is made. He uses sheer logic to solve his problems and looks down on those who think that willpower will get them far in life. Ray-Ray tends to doubt himself anytime he makes an important decision. He tries to hard to make the best choice, the most logical choice. And if he makes a bad decision, he criticizes himself mercilessly. Background: Ray-Ray was born on the island of Minon in the North Blue. His father was a Ship right, and brought in his 2 sons, Ray-Ray and Lionel as apprentices. Ray-Ray instantly grasped the trade and within a few years he became a journeyman and started to work with his father company. Unfortunately, his younger brother, could not grasp the concept as easily, this angered him. His father encouraged him to keep on trying and did his best to teach him in ways Lionel would understand, but it did not work. Lionel decided to pursue a different trade, he joined a group of amateur pirates and set sail with one of his father's ships. Ray-Ray's father was devastated and fell into depression. They would regularly get calls from Lionel, until one day, they never got a call. Lionel did not call for days on end, this worried Ray-Ray and his father. Ray-Ray longed to go out to see and find his brother, but no one would take him in. One day, when Ray-Ray was sitting under a tree, eating his lunch, a fruit feel from its branches. He knew this tree well enough to know that it did not produce fruit. Ray-Ray took a bite, and through the fruit away due to its bad taste. After a few second, and to his surprise, his hand turned into a silver-white liquid right before his eyes. After realizing his abilities, this encouraged Ray-Ray to leave home, confident that he could take on whatever had taken his brother. He ran away from his hometown and payed a merchant his life savings to take him to people who could help him find his brother.

I'm tempted to block off your character from candidacy from captainship just for the choice of devil fruit, XD

[LokiLeo789]

@BlazeGamma

Lol, to tell you the truth... I'm scared if being captain! The Devil Fruit is OK right?

[Blaze Gamma]

Yes. It's why I'm tempted to bar you off though, just based on its canon owner.

[LokiLeo789]

Wait, I don't remember someone having that power. Edit: oh ya, Kid...

[Asura]

Wouldn't he be vulnerable to electricity cause, y'know... heat? :P

[Blaze Gamma]

Eh, it's a canon fruit, even if it doesn't have a name in canon. Go with the weaknesses and crap on the wiki. Never mind. Didn't realize the change. And speaking as a chemist, any metal elemental Logia would be highly susceptible to electricity, not the other way around. Edit: Also, Hydra Hydra would be a cool name for that fruit :p Reedit: I will also confirm that from a chemical standpoint, yes, that fruit will grant an immunity to acid.

[Asura]

I kinda want the Magu Magu no Mi... but it'll destroy literally everything. :P

[LokiLeo789]

...Mercury is a conductor right? Ehh, no matter, I think it's pretty cool.

[Blaze Gamma]

Name: Shinen Kurogane Age: 28 Gender: Male Role: Doctor/Chemist/Swordsman Appearance: Red Eyes and Black hair. Stands at 6'3 and has a sinister air to him. Always wearing square rimmed glasses and a white coat, though his underclothes are in flux. Carries a tanto and a wakizashi, both with black steel blades, on his left hip when he leaves the ship. Personality: Very cold and aloof. Generally seems to have a chip on his shoulder, and tends to be just fine with beating a man halfway to death and then helping him to recover. Background: From age 5 to 19 he lived in a dojo, training in the way of the sword. At 19, his excessive ego and lust for battle found him kicked to the streets. For a year, he roamed, fighting to prove he was the best, until he found himself aboard the ship of the Blade Devil Pirates. Convinced in his own superiority, he challenged the pirates. He fought several of their top officers, gaining the attention of their captain, who had eaten the Arms-Arms fruit. Thoroughly outmatched by the devil fruit eater, Kurogane was tossed overboard and left for dead. He ended up clinging to life, and washed ashore on an island inhabited by an elderly doctor and chemist. The man saved Kurogane's life, explaining that the swordsman would become his successor in payment for the life that was saved, as the doctor had no heir. So, for the next 8 years, the swordsman trained under the doctor, becoming skilled in the medical and chemical arts as he was with the blade. When the old man passed away, Kurogane once more set to the road, trying to find some new direction in his life. As a note, I will not be joining the group until later in the RP, just putting up my character for later.

[TalijaKey]

It sounds quite fun. ^^ I hope my character is fine, I gave her a little pet if that is fine?

If not I can remove it. ^^

Edit: CS moved to the character tab, after approval.

[Blaze Gamma]

@Jangel13 Angelo is approved, go ahead and post him to the CS tab. @LokiLeo789 Mercury is a conductor, yeah. Think about this in the logic of the show. Being nonconductive is immunity. Conductivity would be a weakness. Anyway, change the Electricity immunity and Ray-Ray's approved. @TalijaKey Not sure whether or not to say anything on approval. Your fruit may do a little too much for a Logia, so I'm going to kind of wait on final approval to see what anyone else thinks.

[LokiLeo789]

Ya I under stand, I changed it.

[Blaze Gamma]

@Asura You still interested in joining?

[CrimsonWarrior55]

I suppose I should post, huh? Alright give me a minute. Oh, I have no clue what role I should take. Nothing reeeeeeally seems to fit.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Name: Shuya "Steve" Habasaki

Age: 22 (physically), 16 (Mentally)

Gender: Male

Role: No fucking clue. Any suggestions?

Appearance:

Personality: Okay... here's the fun part. Steve... has issues. Normally he's very shy, kind, and timid in an adorable fashion, but he has a mask (made of blood) that when he puts it on, allows him to unleash his more aggressive nature. It's like how telling a child sunglasses make them invisible or that a Spider-Man mask will make them strong. He personifies his aggression into the mask, and by wearing it, "becomes the mask". In order to distance himself from this bloodthirsty asshole, he calls him Mr. Vein, so that he doesn't have to face the fact that it's actually Steve himself that wants to do these things. But both sides refuse to kill unless it's to protect those Steve cares about. Steve's too kind and that carries over, even if Vein loves bloodshed.

The mask itself is more like a faceplate. It's shape is of Vega's:
()
While the design on it is closer to the mask in Danganronpa:

Note that the eyes are smaller and the mouth moves to replicate talking. However it never opens except under special cases (like insane laughter or consumption)

Powers: The Blood-Blood fruit. This paramecia-type devil fruit gives it's user hemokinesis, or the ability to manipulate their own blood. Steve can cause his blood to come out of his body and form weapons (like knives, swords, clubs, maces, staffs, spikes, spears, tentacles, etc.) or solid masses (he can change it's density to like, hard as a rock and use it as a platform, or elevator, or hand). Any blood that leaves his body is instantly replaced, making it impossible for him to die of blood loss. But his blood has to tear through his skin to come out, and while the fruit does grant a healing factor, it is only minor. It takes about five minutes for a small wound to heal, and larger wounds can take up to a full day to heal. Not to mention, he'd be bleeding the whole time. Seriously, it wouldn't take long to get a Carrie look going on, and although he can keep the blood in his body, it splits his concentration. Since his blood opens wounds in his skin, he doesn't feel pain in the same way normal people do. Rather than pain, his mind just kinda goes "Oh, there's a wound there, be careful" as opposed to "FUCK, IT HURTS!!!". Oh, yeah. He can also change the color of his blood. Woo-hoo. He really only uses it on his mask to turn it black. It IS made of his blood after all. How else would it move to display emotion?

Weaknesses: Well, beyond the obvious of seawater and seastone? Normal water causes Steve's blood to dissipate, making it much harder to manipulate. On top of this, due to the iron in blood, and the general liquid state it's it, he has a higher aversion to electricity. Finally, while his minor healing factor does eventually heal his cuts, it won't regrow limbs or organs. He's just as weak there as a normal human. He just can't die of blood loss.

Background: Not much to say here... Steve had a normal childhood, aside from being horrendously teased for his shyness. But he never fought back, instead opting to bury his anger and rage deep, deep down. One day he was out in the woods, picking fruit when he ran across a peculiar one he'd never seen before. Curiosity getting the better of him, he took a bite... and holy FUCK was that shit nasty. By faaaaar the worst damn thing he'd ever tasted. Throwing the rest of the fruit away, he continued on his way. On his way back to town, however, he was confronted by some of his bullies. Viciously beaten and desperate for help, fearing that he would die this time, he threw his arms up to shield himself... and was greeted by screams. Sneaking a peek, he say a slimy red tendril impaling one of the bullies in the shoulder. Following it's path, he saw that it came from own body. Screaming in fear at what was happening, he couldn't stop it from happening again and again, as more tendrils burst out and impaled the rest. Horrified at what he'd done, Steve ran back home in tears. Once there, he locked himself in his room and refused to come out. Not just because he was terrified of hurting anyone else, but also because he... enjoyed it. But Steve wasn't that kind of person. He wasn't... he wasn't... No... ... no... Steve wasn't the one who did that. No. It was someone else. Steve was a good boy... a good boy.

A few days passed before Steve was able to leave his house again, but he kept more to himself than ever. But he never should have left. It wasn't long before he found himself cornered in an alleyway, facing down the fathers of the boys he injured. They were furious, and promised far more pain than ever. Scared out of his wits, Steve didn't even notice when a small cut formed on his cheek, and blood began pouring out, flooding his face, and forming into a mask. Just like when he was a little kid and he wore an old mask to hide himself from the world. And he felt his fear disappear. But in it's place came something else. A boiling, seething rage the likes of which he had never felt before, and why would he? 15 years of compacted rage spilt forth. And Steve used his powers to let loose. And it felt great... felt fucking good. Once he was done, however, and the mask cracked away, realization dawned as he took in the near-corpses of the three men. He knew he couldn't stay on the island anymore. He'd be hunted down and killed! So... not wasting any time, Steve darted home, grabbed what personal affects he could, and under the cover of darkness, stole a boat and sailed away. Only looking back for the briefest of moments to shed a tear. And he's been like that ever since, with no one around except the vicious little voice in his head he decided to call, Mr. Vein.

Huh... not a bad backstory for being pulled out of my ass. Let me know if I should change anything about my CS.
