[OOC] One Piece: Tales of a Lost Era

[TalijaKey]

mago looks super interesting to be around with XD It will be pretty funny around with that guys personality.~

[Jangel13]

Yeah that may be an understatement, but why would a celebrity want to be a great pirate? I don't see him being a great help other then to piss of everyone else. Unless he has some sort of devil fruit power...

@Jangel13

Ego. The whole look at me mentality. Anyone who thinks he's above it all would likely go out of their way to piss off the so called authority figures.

@Jangel13

Somebody who has no fame, but hopes to be a celebrity would totally become a pirate. Just look at what happened to people like Gol D. Roger, Whitebeard, Shanks, Mihawk and Rayleigh. The great pirates of history are among the most feared and revered people in the entire One Piece world. Their faces are on posters all over the world, at the very least. :P

Here's another character while I work on my devil fruit user.

Abigail Lillian

Name: Abigail Lillian
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Role: Tracker
Appearance:
Personality: Abigail, is above all house, headstrong, and does not like being told what she can, or can't do, and tends to not respect anyone who isn't the same. Being born into the upper classes has instilled in her a seething hatred for politics. She doesn't like games, or treading the fence. Honesty, that's the best policy, and you'll get it from her, want it or not. She's extremely inpatient, and doesn't like wasting time on trivial things. She adores the outdoors, and the wild creatures who call it home. More than any other creature, and this includes humans, she loves the wolves and dogs. She considers Fenris, her large wolf, her closest companion and more important to her than anything with two legs. In the woods she's totally self-sufficient and can survive for an indefinite amount of time. She loves physical activities like hiking, boxing, swimming, sparring, sword fighting, and running.

Abigail is not a fan of the world government, whom she blames more for the current turmoil than the pirates, because its the system that forms men, and pirates are nothing more than men who were shaped to be the way they are.

She's proficient with a variety of weapons, but her favorites are swords, and pistols.
Background: Born to a wealthy merchant family, Abigail spent most of her life shut in while her parents were out seeing the world, under the watchful eyes of maids and nannies who didn't care for her particularly. They weren't bad people, but the times had made caring for such a stubborn child something they couldn't do with a full heart. So after making sure she was cleaned and fed, left her to her own devices, which as time grew by, was spent more and more outside. Early on, the outdoor trips were spent wondering in the woods for an hour or so, but as she grew older she went out further, and stayed out later.
During some point in her childhood she met a group of hunter gathers, camping nearby, and learned a great deal from them. She considered leaving home forever to travel with them, but before she could, while she was away catching fish, there was a fight between marines, and pirates, and the travelers were all killed in the crossfire. After which, she went home, defeated, but not before the need to do something overcame her, and she set out to see the sights, and bend the government to her own will, so such things could never happen again.

Also, it might be good to move things along, someway, because things have gotten kind of slow, and I'm afraid this rp might die before it even starts.

Name:Jack H. Lemon
Age: 24

Gender: Male

Role: Navigator

[b]Appearance:

Appearance

Abilities

Devil Fruit: Juden-Juden Fruit
Type: Paramecia
Ability:The Juden-Juden fruit grants the user the ability to increase, decrease, and change charges.
Techniques:
Mark(Starting skill):Jack can freely create marks on his body, or through Physical contact, mark a space or object. Once marked, he may freely change the areas charge(-/0/+,) and increase said charge's strength. Currently Jack can only create and hold a total of four marks. The less marks he has charged, the higher their attraction/repulsion, he can generate in a mark.

Personality:
First and foremost Jack is what many would a coward, and a loser, but not by choice. It's just that's the way he came out. He's failed at pretty much everything he's tried his hands at(basic labor, carpentry, ship building, acting, thieving, being a librarian, singing, telling jokes, begging, chef, waiter, cleaning houses, writing, reading to the blind, marines, etc, etc.) The coward is easily explained. He hates seeing anyone he cares about hurt, and he loves himself, A lot! He's also pretty sensitive to the emotions of others so when there's dissonance amongst people, its hard for him not to shut down. Being a loser, that's a bit harder to explain, but he's almost certain it has something to do with his inability to pay attention.
The one exception to his constant lack of success is the sheer volume of information he's able to absorb and retain. It's all useless of course, because nobody will pay you simply on the principle of knowing what a lot of other people claimed to know.

Background: Jack grew up in a typical home, and went to a typical school. He got below typical marks. He had to repeat a couple of grades, and quit school a good four grades before he would've been able to graduate. The next couple of years were spent bouncing around from one place of employment to another. Eventually he found himself in the marines, and that looked promising. It wasn't, of course. Not just because he couldn't deal with the constant bullets and blades that were aimed at his head, which was bad, but it was the killing that shouldn't have happened that made things worst.
After one particularly bloody battle, something was pulled from one of the pirate wrecks, a devil fruit. It looked like a bunch of grapes, but with black, white, and yellow fruit instead of the traditional green and purple. The captain wanted to eat it, right away, and would've if someone knew what it was. So the captain, not wanting to devour something useless, decided to wait, and had it stored in a safe, in his quarters.
There was a big party that night, and everyone was happy, and drunk. Nobody cared about the bloody water, or the stains that the land would never be free of. Jack did. He couldn't take any more, and he decided he'd needed to get out. So he did, and he took the fruit with him. It wasn't difficult, because the guards were drunk and passed out, and the captain had the code written down on a slip of paper he kept under his pillow.
[/hider]

[Jangel13]

Haha! His personality is almost like usopp!

[Jangel13]

@Asura yes however that's infamy, as in kill him on sight. Their posters would most likely be with the high commanders of the Marines. Everyone knows their name but as we all know not everybody likes pirates. Just saying

[Blaze Gamma]

@AsuraMago is approved, move to CS category
@malmshodesJack is also approved.
@CrimsonWarrior55Your girl is approved, pending a cleanup to fit the CS for this RP. Only catch is you can't have her and Steve, due to the whole Devil Fruit rule.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Goody. I'm going to clean it up tomorrow. And I won't be using Steve. As cool as his power is, and as interesting as the whole split persona thing is.... I prefer the Ryu-Ryu no mi. Plus... you know... chicks are awesome.

Oh, lord. I am so gonna butt heads with Mago.

Lemon seems interesting. A neat addition.

[Blaze Gamma]

Oh, does anyone else want to play for the captainship role?

[Jangel13]

Still trying for that spot

Edit: although now I'm going to have a hell of a time trying to remember everyone's name

[Blaze Gamma]

@malmshodesOh, Abagail is approved too.

[malmshodes]

Oh, does anyone else want to play for the captainship role?

@BlazeGamma

Er well, I think Abigail might fit as a captain, though honestly it would be new to me since I'm lacking in experience as far as playing characters with authority.

[Blaze Gamma]

@AsuraWould Mago be interested in the captain role?

[CrimsonWarrior55]

@AsuraWould Mago be interested in the captain role?

@BlazeGamma

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

(Lol. Jk.)

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Name: Snap Vypera

Nickname: Vy

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Role: Thief/Assassin

Appearance:
Vypera wears a black cloak, which is fastened sideways so that the front opening is over her right arm, rather than her chest. Vy has a nice bronze tan, an athletic build, shoulder length brown hair and green eyes. She also has a ring on her right middle finger with an emerald in it. She wears a green backless leotard, black pants, and white shoes

Personality: Vy is generally calm and collected, while being a bit of a smartass. But after being betrayed by her brother, she has a very hard time trusting people. but she has a harder time trusting herself. She knows she has no control over her full form. She would rather die than put anyone else's life in danger. (I'm not that good with personalities. They generally gravitate back to my own, so I leave them open like this, to give me some wiggle room)

Background: Vypera was born on Fang Island, a beautiful place that many would consider paradise. Born into a family that had long since guarded a "sacred treasure" to the village, Vy and her big brothers, Draco and Serpere, would often be told that it contained a wonderful power, one that must only be used to protect the island. So Vy grew up, did the things a girl did, pranking the townsfolk, trained to protect the treasure, often sparring with her brothers (Drake being the most powerful by far, but Serpere was definitely the smartest. Luckily for her she was quite agile), and lived life happy and free. But one day, something went bad. Very bad. Vy came home one day to find her house razed, Draco lay bleeding on the ground. Her parents and Serpere nowhere to be found. Panicking, she dragged her brother to a nearby cave, dressing his injuries quickly with the med-kit they kept there, before running to the shrine that held the treasure. Once she got there she was stunned by what she saw. It was Serpere... clashing swords with their father, while her mother was collapsed on the floor, bleeding out. Before she could figure out what was going on, she noticed the treasure box next to her feet. Finally taking notice of her, Serpere took the opportunity to impale their father. Realizing there was no option left, her mother screamed at her to open the box and eat the fruit inside, as Serpere turned to her and began to close in. Telling her to eat the fruit again, Vy reached down and opened the box. Inside was a dark green and black orb, with a scaly design. Looking up, she locked eyes with her brother, before she took a bite. Her last thought before Serpere slashed her right across the chest was that it was the most foul-tasting thing she ever had. She then blacked out.

When she came to, hours later, she noticed she was on the other side of the island. Following the trail she knew would lead back home, she tried to recall what had happened, but nothing came to mind other than the dark eyes of her brother. Why? Why? Why would he do this? She could find no logical answer. It took an hour but she eventually made it back to the village, only to find it destroyed. Everything she knew and everyone she loved... dead. Quickly, she ran back to the shrine, the pain in her chest forgotten. Only... there was no shrine. Well, not anymore. It was completely wrecked, but there was no mistaking the two mangled corpses inside. Her father... was half the man he used to be and her mother... her mother... her head... gone. Vy emptied her stomach right there. Backing away, she kicked something. It was an arm... still holding Serpere's sword. Where was the rest of him. She had to get away from the sight. Draco! She ran back to the cave she left her brother in... he was gone. There was nothing. As she investigated the village she found the same thing all around. Mangled, chewed, torn apart corpses... along with the tracks of some kind of beast. She didn't understand... what had HAPPENED!!! It wasn't until days later that she finally remembered. And it wasn't until months later that she recovered from the truth. By that time, she had left Fang Island, and was now living on the neighboring Claw Island...

I'm assuming Powers, Weapons, and Skills should also be on this character sheet? So Imma put them here:

Stuff

-Weapons: Various Kunai, Shuriken, and Caltrops. The occasional explosive (occasional!). Also a couple lengths of rope.

-Devil Fruit: Here we go: The Dragon-Dragon Fruit (Ryu-Ryu no Mi): Power: This Mythical Zoan-Type Devil Fruit allows its user to transform into a Western-Style Dragon with focus on strength and power. It also allows her to fire energy beams. She can fire these beams in any of her three forms from either her mouth or palms. Her hybrid form mostly resembles her normal look except she’s not 6’ 8” instead of 5’ 6”. She gains one scale on each of her cheeks; her pupils’ slit, while her irises turn yellowish-green and her sclera turn black. She does gain fangs (that elongate for biting) and the rest of her teeth sharpen as well. She gains scales all down her back, running along her spine to her new tail which is about 6” thick at it’s base and about 5’ long, her forearms turn into those of a dragon, being scaly and ending in five clawed fingers. Her forelegs do the same, except she only has three front toes and one back toe. The scales on her legs continue up her outer thighs and create what can only be described as “scale panties”. She also has scales from the middle of her breast to the outside (to protect sensitive parts), which wrap around to her wings. Her wingspan measures about 7’, but she can’t fly with her wings, only glide. She stronger than normal in this form, but there are still plenty others far stronger than her. For some reason, her hair also turns red. Her full form is pretty big, about 20’ from head to tail (the tail being 6’ of that). Her tail ends in a double-ended blade. Her senses are also enhanced, particularly smell. Her fiery red hair also reduces to just a mini mane on the back of her head. There’s not much else to say about her full form. She’s a dragon, plain and simple. Now it’s time to turn our attention to the fruit’s weaknesses. Well, as a new user, Vypera has quite a few. Using her beams in her human form is dangerous to her. Her mouth beam can and will burn her badly, while her palm beams will burn her if she maintains an stream for longer than 10 seconds. The scales in her hybrid form negate this (yeah, she also has scales in her mouth… I kinda just added that part) because they are strong enough to block standard steel swords and bullets. However, it is in fact possible for a strong or skilled swordsman to knock them off, causing her pain and exposing the under-flesh. And while her scales are strong, her flesh is not. It is only as strong as a regular human. She also, as mentioned, can't fly in her hybrid form. As a new user, her chest muscles aren't strong enough to produce enough lift to get her body off the ground. Maybe one day. In her full form, she is a mindless berserker, completely unable to tell the difference between friend and foe. As a result, she has no idea to protect her underbelly, which has no scales on it and is very vulnerable. Her joints are also scale-less to allow movement. Lastly, thanks to her enhanced sense of smell, she can easily be over-powered by things like garlic. However, its highly unlikely Vy will use her full form, as she is terrified of it.

-Abilities: Vy has spent the past several months living on the outskirts of Claw Village (so, I'm not good with place names… sue me), stealing what she needs from the town and in general, living off the land. Some call her a menace, few call her a guardian, but no one has ever caught more than a glimpse of her (so basically, she's a great forager, hunter, thief, and has ninja-esque stealth).

And those reference materials are here
Some pictures that should help give you an idea of what she looks like transformed:
Full form (despite how hard they look, her underbelly scales are actually quite soft. Plus her scales are easy to dislodge):



Basic concept of the Hybrid Form:



And her roars are fucking T-Rex roars from Jurassic Park.

[malmshodes]

How many crew members do we need before the rp can begin?

[Blaze Gamma]

We're probably set on numbers. I just need to know who's going to be the captain so that I can deal with starting post stuff. I'm personally leaning toward Mago, if only because he kind of fits the role of someone who would be in charge, even if he's not qualified for it.

[Blaze Gamma]

@DragonbudHey, are you still interested in this?
