Cool. It looks good.
Yeah, administrating together sounds good. Anyone have any ideas for where we should go next?

hm... I was thinking it would be a good idea to start the story with the crew in front of the grand line entry.
What do you think?
Another thing should we discuses maters for the rp here or via a shared pm from now on?
p.s. @malmshodes Say can you transfer the profile for our captain over to the new thread? Or shall I do that for you, if you the tech-trouble still exist? And you cannot copy paste easily?
Yes we surely should start working on the enemies. *nod*
I wonder where @Jangel13 is?......I wonder if he unsubscribed of this thread.... before he heard we are using it as discussion board.
Elem,
Hm... I think we have a bit of time I assume maybe 2-3 rounds of posting before we reach the island. You know we would start in front of the red line watching in awe, and before we set sail to it all the crew is present on the ship. It would be a fitting introduction.
First question who should make the opening post? Should the honors be yours captain?
Second, I think the 3 of us will need to be the one who push the plot, by adding things other react to in our own post. I say this because a lot of times people get stuck with conversation between characters. It does depends on the rpers....but .... We should be aware if the rp is slowing down or being stagnant that we should wth out worry push the story, with any means possible. *nod nod*
Next point The enemies, locals, the look of the island etc. Should we part the work? As each of us makes something of the needed? And should we post the relevant info on here, maybe even make small profiles and such?
Yes...I do ask a ton of questions >.>; I hope I dont scare you away......
im going to try and make a storm island or wind whichever works in the one piece universe.
name: whirlwind island
location: first island in the grand line
image:
description: as the name suggests it is a constant weather island of perpetual storms and winds. under pleasant conditions one would only get a light rain and even the smallest amount of sunlight however when the storms kick up it becomes the hurricane and as a result most passangers to this island loose their ship in the storm if not anchored properly. however despite these horride conditions their are plants and trees their and in a few places that are under a large hill their can be homes that can shelter out the worst of the storms.
(just went with it)
The island looks cool jangel! XD I like the idea~
***Maybe we could start with our characters waiting at the dock, hoping at least a couple of people will respond to the flyers they put up for a crew?
Sure~ on the dock setting sail for the greatest adventure yet XP~
Good you arent on a cellphone alone anymore XD I dont think time is so much as a problem as long as we start it Friday or Saturday. Those are usually good starting days. *nod nod*
***Also, should we only play the characters we make, or should each of us be allowed to take over each others characters, if the "owner" falls behind or isn't able to post?
I am all for NPC being shared between us. NPC are story tools so its only fair to be shared. If a character is important to us we can explicitly mention it that we want to be only one using it.
Okay Sharing the creations of enemies is good , But here are some elements I suggest as in enemy story plot.
The first island weather makes lots of ship came to their end before their even came to truly even see the Grand Line. The shipwrecks are like a little treasure boxes waiting for the first one to claim it.
The Moody Beavers pirate crew is searching for a specific ship. A ship a week ago found its demise. They know the ship was a trading ship, it was officially transporting goods from the sea folk to sell and trade with the locals, and quite a bit of gold and money all the same from the things the traders sold on the islands they pass by. Unofficially on the ship was one man doing shaggy businesses. A powerful devil fruit.
Unlucky as it was the storm took the traders ship and all its gold and goods with it. How the Moody Beavers crew knows all of this? They were told, and all but paid a heavy sum to find and retrieve the fruit that wasnt officially on the ship. Anything else they find in the wreck is theirs to take, as long as the fruits gets safely deliver to the contact man, just another motivation from their ''employer''.
''Employer'' was the nick name everyone of the crew called the man they did several dirty jobs for.
The ''Employer'' Is a navy officer who is stationed on the 3rd island of the grand line. He is a corrupt man and has a love for manipulations and gossips. Which he uses extensive, just as much as using marine funds to pay for his dirty work to be done by small pirate crews. *profile comes after*
The Moody Beavers crew arrives on the island on a bad windy day. Asking some locals for direction or to get a guide. They are rejected because of religion. Maybe its a belief that they shouldnt go on that day in the sea as the ocean god is upset. The pirates blow up and started to assault the locals to get them to corporate. Because a bit of fear surely will change their believes. The locals start to fight back, somewhat, but around this time our crew arrive.NPC
Role in the story: The captain of the pirate crew Moody Beavers, trying to obtain a devil fruit from a shipwreck for his ''Employer''
Name: Jordan Beaver
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Just has big front teeth making him look well like a beaver. Carriers a big cleaver.
Personality: Moody, to a point a wrong word from someone even himself can all but switch around his mood. His crew learnt how to deal with the man. Say teeth in any contents and he is in a blind rage, on polar opposite mention apples and he will all but cheer up and want some apples. //This can be easily used against him in fights
He isnt the fastest but he is more on the strong side.
-------------------------------
Role in the story: The marine officer stationed on the 3rd island navy base. Is the ''Employer''. Pays pirates to do his binding in the shady department and dealing with his dirty work.
Name: Iziya O'curropt
Age: 29
Gender: Male, looks girly.
Appearance:
Just in the marine uniform. Uses guns if he has to fight.
Personality: He is where is he now because he tricked and destroyed the ones opposing him. Well its was more of unfortunate pirate accidents that got rid of nasty people in his way. Avoids direct confrontations and is quick to flee out of situation who put him in danger. Enjoys messing with people heads and making them believe things that go into his hands. Has a great control over his emotion and is not scared to use any means to get what he wants.
Including the few occasionally cross dressing he did to seduce and tricks higher ranking officers into sharing their secrets, which became their ruins later on, before they got wasted on alcohol and sleeping drugs.
He likes to present himself as a smiling innocent and live enjoying man.
In the following months, their<!--Kazumas first crew--> had seen a few minor victories, and a number of crushing defeats. They were seen as enemies to everyone: pirate, navy, and civilian alike. Though Kazuma pressed on in hopes of keeping their crew together, they ultimately began to fall apart. That is why at the next shore they hit (Logue Town) Kaz left his crew to drink his problems away. After spending what money he had left, he wandered the streets for a sign as to what to do next. He ended up befriending a wolf<!--perfect as it can be your wolf choose him for the crewXD--> in the streets and following it back to its home, which just so happened to be a pirate ship. He took it as a sign and joined the crew, after explaining why he had been sleeping on their ship.
After that Nautilus chose his name and began to travel. Hiring himself out to whoever would take the giant. Surprisingly he found himself a capable warrior and began to carve a name for himself as reliable muscle. Nautilus came to be hired by Simona's crew due to an...altercation between his employer and Simona's crew. The captain seemed like a good man, along with the other crewmembers, and he paid well. His only condition was to not look in the cargo hold. Being just a hire on, Nautilus never questioned it until Simon's ship attacked. The "good" captain was a slave trader and, when Nautilus found out, flew into a rage. Destroying most of the ship in the process. Luckily Simona and her crew had saved the slaves before the whole thing went under. Nautilus had turned himself in to Simona but eventually he was allowed to join the crew due to his rejection of the captain and general kindheartedness.
@malmshodes
***The only thing is maybe a few more characters are needed.
i can add one-two in the crew of the moody beavers, and maybe a person from the locals or two? Will do it probably for the weekend.
***Question, and I'm sorry if this is too early. Are all the places we visit going to be unrelated, or is there going to be some kind of patter?
Its not early at all. Seeing I mentioned the 3rd island already XD Well I am more leaning to half random. As in there maybe 2-3 stories that connect several island over our adventure but in between there are some random island. Pretty much like one piece it self. If you ask if we can have the same islands as in one piece. Absolutely,just the people have to be different.
The next island story/events could be made by you or Jangel and what you two find interesting. But of course its not a obligation. All hail the plot bunnies.
*** I can kind of see the Employer as someone like Blackbeard, kind of a low(ish) level person now, but we'll see more of his strength as things progress, possibly due to the devil fruit he's going for. Also, was there a devil fruit effect you had in mind for this, or is that still being planned out? I'd be happy to help if you'd like.
No plans as for yet what the devil fruit should be. I will gladly take the help, especially inspirational are the recent one piece chapter where there are words about awakening and Luffy saying. ''Its like he isnt a paramecia anymore''. I find those hints extremely interesting. Maybe at a later date we can use it. And yeah he can be a persona that is pulling the strings. But I wouldnt want him to be the only string puller.
***I'll just put this here for now, and if there's anything that needs changing I'll do it after work and then post it in the other thread's IC section :)
You know....I luv you for preparing the IC post XD Just I was a tiny bit confused.She is searching for a crew? Maybe it would be better she already has the whole crew. Because of the people backgrounds, each of them added at the end how they joined the crew too.
The last one who joined was the navigator-Kazuma and he suits your first post perfectly.(if the flyers Abby put are asking for a navigator, for example.)
<Snipped quote>
Maybe put what you wrote in italic call it a flash-back and make it the day after or even better the same day on which your post is happening, but evening just after Kazuma joined?
It would help with all the other bios and how they imagined they joined the crew.
And a question will we consider how Angelo joined the crew in this thread as cannon for our roleplay, or not? And... can Simona be the second one, first being Angelo, who joined the crew? So our character know each other for the longest? XP But I must shamefully admit the only one who has not 'how I joined Abby' is my character Simona. I should probably work on that...
Something I noticed when re reading the profiles, Nautilus bio, mentions a employer, here is the relevant passage.
<Snipped quote>
It makes sense that the scout Simona found the slave ship and telling her captain they freed them. Simona would even give a good word for Nautilus to join the crew, explaining he didnt know that it was a slave ship. Adding he was having a good heart.
But the employer he mentioned, do you think we could connect it with our ''Employer''? Obliviously Nautilus wouldnt have a clue untill its revealed. Or would it be too much of a stretch? Seeing the ''Employer'' is in grand line and this happened in one of the Blues.
......I'm completely lost
<Snipped quote by TalijaKey>
I've got some ideas too, but its late and I've got a 6AM shift in the morning. I'll try to have some up by then.
Hmmm I've got an idea for a random island, maybe. I don't have time to do it now, but lets just say its sort of based on that treehouse of horror episode of the simpsons were everyone acted nice because Bart was always watching. ;)
What devil fruit are you referring to? I mean the one with LUffy saying its almost not like a paramacia at all?
lol Actually I just assumed our three characters already knew each other. So yeah, ours being the core three works for me :P
I could see the employer as being the same person. AFter all, he doesn't strike me as the type to have anything against slavery. As for the likelihood. Remember he's the kind of person whose able to move up quickly, professionally. So its not a stretch for him to be one place and then doing something else a little later.
Sorry if I missed anything important. Kind of rushing it here :P
