I like the addition of drunken boxing to her role as a brewer, it's a nice complimenting touch.

Name: Amelia Mitsue

Appearance:

Show

Height/Weight: 5'7” / 170cm and 120lbs / 54kg

Age: 22

Personality: Amelia is a lively girl who always seem to have an innocent smile on her face. Her presence illuminates the room with kindness and welcomes people into her life with open arms. Her voice is angelic and speaks in a quiet tone most of the time. She would be the last person you'd expect a fight from due to her passive attitude. That is...until she gets a drop of alcohol on her lips. Then she would have a major personality shift. The happy go-lucky girl you knew would go into a drunken frenzy, smashing tables, breaking windows, and above all, she would have a frightening appetite. She is far more aggressive and rude in her drunken state as she will literally hit on the guys she comes across. When her buzz decreases, there's a small period of time where she is in between personalities thus becoming dull and boring, not even reacting to any comical attempts to get her to blink.

Home Island/Sea: East Blue

History: When Amelia was a little girl, all she could remember was the tavern she grew up in. She remembers serving food, drinks, and hung out in the kitchen watching her father brew some delicious ale. She has never met her mother before, but her father would always tell her that her mother was busy advertising their tavern across the seas. In reality, her mother was an adventurous pirate. Her father kept the truth from her hoping that she wouldn't become like her mother. The time came when little Amelia was old enough to sail out on her own. She wanted to spread her family's ale across the seas and find her mother so they can meet at last.

Fruit: None

Fighting style: Drunken Combat: Amelia can only fight when she is intoxicated. Her strength and speed are enhanced along with reduced pain and numbness only in this state. She will feel the full effects when she is sober.

Bushoshoku/Armament Haki: Amelia is capable of performing Bushoshoku haki, but only in her drunken state currently.

Drunken Step- A technique that's always being used during her drunken state. This causes herself to become harder to read visually by 'blurring' herself with rapid movements of her body. Whenever she moves, she leaves behind a feint after image of herself that disappears no more than one second.

Drunken Fists/Kicks- A simple kick or punch infused with haki for devastating results.

Drunken Palms/Chops- An alternative she uses whenever punches do not work since it gives a wider reach.

Drunken Toss- She simply grabs her target, spins around a couple times and tosses whatever she has violently into whatever the hell she wants.

Drunken X-Chop- Possibly the only long ranged technique she knows. She positions her arms out in front to form an 'X' and swiftly slices the air to send a nicely x-shaped wind blade at her opponents.

Ship Positions: Brewer

Bounty: 0

Multilingual

Haki - unable to use reliably but has CoO and CoA.

Devil Fruit [+] - None

Personality: Malcolm is usually calm, level-headed and responsible as far as personalities goes. He is somewhat worldly having been to the New World in the past, however his prior experiences were of a much darker nature, having fought there as a gladiator slave. He doesn't seem to be fond of the world government or nobles for that matter. Malcolm seems to have a difficulty with trusting others. Trusting people is something that's still hard for him. Malcolm is somewhat introspective and mysterious, doing things on his own accord, a bit snarky but never brash or rude. He sees himself as like the water. He posseses a type of tranquil "elderly" spirit but he's quite ruthless when pushed. Malcolm earned his bounty by leading a gladiator revolt in the Dressrosa Coliseum.

Theme Song: Rain At Last

Bio: The man known as Malcolm T. Dumas was born on Fishman Island to a merman woman and a human man, but relocated to live on the surface with his father, a human from the East Blue province Island of Tequila.

Malcolm's family settled peacefully on the outskirts of Tequila and raised him there for some time, up until the age of 10 when he ventured off into the main town. Although the truth surrounding Malcolm's family life was a well-known but guarded secret amongst the town's residents, there were others who didn't agree with the union between a human and a merman and their offspring. And one such individual reported this 'peculiar activity' to the marines who arrived in company of slavers.

Malcolm is the product of human-merman relations, making him of a mixed heritage and thus a rarity among black market poachers. There are many in the marines who enlist the services of slavers for incentives you can imagine.

Malcolm's father was mercilessly executed and he and his mother were sold into slavery. At auction Malcolm was separated from his mother and sent to the new world in bondage.

Malcolm procured the interest of a certain wealthy noble from Dressrosa who was in the business of purchasing slaves to compete in the Gladiator arena. Though he was still young at the time, he had a sort of unbridled potential that anyone could see and mold into a future champion and he was trained with this prospect in mind. Forged in lessons of warfare. Blood and Sand. Malcolm did not forget to pay the gracious bastard back once he was able to, by leading a revolt and attempting to take the life of his former master. Though failed it was, he managed to organize an escape fleeing on a vessel as far away as he could. Though he was pursued by assassins since and left for dead on the open.

@NubianLegend

Seems pretty good for the most part. In terms of fighting is he a swordsman or a bare fists fighter? Is he able to breath underwater? And just to clarify is he half mer-man? If so what distinguishes his mer heritage? These are just clarifications not changes I need made. Otherwise it seems good to go.

@Yorutenchi

He's not a swordsman like Zoro is a swordsman. He doesn't specializes in swords exclusively but he knows how fight with them because of his gladiator training, so much as he's able to use them because he has a unique hardwater bending ability. A breakdown of his fighting style is roughly 65% hand-to-hand, 25% water manipulation. 10% tactics. I should have explained that but he can manipulate water into weaponized forms like maces, axes, swords, etc.

As far as the other points, he has gill apparatuses so he is able to breathe underwater and he has fins and webbed hands/foots but he's able to conceal them at will.

Alright he is good to go. If you would like to add the water-weapons thing It wouldn't hurt.

Wow this place is booming. Glad to see that.

Quaa..?

Name: Nyx

Height/Weight: 5'6"/140lbs

Age: 23

Appearance:

Personality: Being an only child, Nyx had to keep herself entertained when her parents weren't around. That caused her to become adventurous and have a thirst for knowledge. She can be over dramatic at times, border lining neurotic, but for the most part she is upbeat. Her main flaw is her impulsive, reckless decision-making-skills, caused by her impatience. Despite her being a risk-taker, Nyx has a constant paranoia due to her partial-deafness, and is constantly looking over her shoulder.

Quirks: Nyx has and annoying habit of clicking her tongue when she's waiting for something, along with an overall fidgety nature.

Home Island/Sea: East Blue

History: Nyx isn't sure where she hails from, all she knows is she was found in a lifeboat with three others aboard the same ship when it went down. Her adoptive father and his crew came across the survivors while trawling, and the only one conscious told him that they were attacked while crossing the East Blue. By what, or whom, is unclear, as all three men were pronounced dead by the time they reached land. Nyx was diagnosed with Scarlett Fever shortly after being taken in by her new family, but she pulled through, although suffering permanent damage to her hearing. She grew up on a small island, out of the way from pretty much anything, so life was pretty dull. She worked with her adoptive mother as a cook, and sometimes with her fisherman of a dad, until she was 17 and a position opened up on a merchant ship for a chef. Her parents supported her decision to leave, knowing that adventure was something Nyx had always fantasized about. She keeps a picture of them in her pocket watch, and vows to return once she's seen every corner of the four seas.

Fighting style: Nyx is proficient in Dambe, as her father and his crew taught Nyx how to fend for herself. With weapons, she prefers small blades a foot or shorter in length. She uses her culinary knowledge to concoct poisons, and is also a bit of a pyrotechnic.

Ship Positions: Chef

Bounty: 0

[Renny]

I have a quick question. Do you think it'll be possible if me and a friend have our own ship? Would it break up the storyline if a two-man crew was also operating within the story.

[Rin]

...I find it somewhat amusing that I've ended up being the only one with a Devil Fruit thus far, when one of the problems I've noted about previous One Piece RPs I've been in was the overload of not just Devil Fruits, but really rare ones like Logias and Mythical Zoans. XD

@Rin

Just a heads up I'm the first mate / co gm. But I seen so many people before attempt to make broken devil fruit powers but try to hide by making it sound weak. Like one guy wanted diamond shard devil fruit. He said the fruit powers was nothing like the Canon diamond diamond fruit, that it was like the diamond burst into pieces and could shoot them at people, but make them into a armor as strong as diamond. Which made no sense.

[Sloth]

@Rin

They make for really fun NPCs though.

I remember one time I designed a Yonko that had eaten the "Saru-Saru no Mi, Model: Sun Wukong" and the World Government absolutely hated him for his over the top shenanigans. Like the time he started a war over a spilled cup of sake or when he conquered a system of Islands in the New World just because someone threw a piece of fruit at him.

Now how on Earth am I going to phrase a sound-sound fruit that doesn't sound ridiculously strong?

[Rin]

@Boss MuffinAhah, tell me about it. XD I've seen so much stuff along those lines, and... I can never understand this mindset for wanting to be broken from the getgo. I dunno, maybe I'm just weird or something but I like the idea of starting off relatively weak and gaining power as you go along; it just feels much more rewarding to have to try to get to that level than having it handed to you on a platter from the beginning. Also, nice to meet you co-GM person! XD

@SlothYeah, I've always felt that they worked best for NPCs and antagonists; especially in the case of Logias which I always think are more fun to figure out how to defeat than for a PC to just use to steamroll everything. I think I remember one RP I was in where the crew had three Logias and a couple of Mythical Zoans, which... I dunno, just wouldn't have been fun for me. Think it died before it could really get going though so never got to see just how something could possibly challenge that. XD

...Sun Wukong Zoan sounds utterly fantastic, though.

Enter M A R X O

Marxo St. Laurant

Appearance:

Height/Weight: 6’1, 160lbs

Age:19

Personality: Marxo is quite calm and collected. He tends to speak in a very collective manner. Even in dire situation, he is always the one to keep his cool. He thinks it would better help the situation if he acts this way. It is often hard to make him made but not impossible. The most two major things that upset him are being turned down by females and running out of smokes. Other than that he remains almost monotone, from his voice, personality, and mindset. His persona is due to his past. Its almost like he has a split personality . His other half is a maniacal , senseless man with no disregard to human kind. His only interest in that time is seeing everything colored red with the blood of this enemies.

Home Island/Sea: St Laurants’ Isle,South Blue

History: Marxo was born in the East Blue . His family had traveled to the South almost immediately after he was born. They settled on a deserted island and used the wildlife to live off of. His mother happened to be a master chef but not one of legend and lore. His father on the other hand was a hunter so this made the couple well adept to their surrounding. Within the first three years of Marxo’s life his parents had already tamed the island and renamed the newly cultivated place St. Laurant’s isle after his family. At 7 he was taught how to hunt alongside his father. it seem to come naturally to the boy. his first catch was a friendly panda shark whom his father told him to release back into the sea. After all his mother had no use for such meat.

At the age of 14 ,he met his first neighbors. They had also traveled from an island off in the distance. From first sight they seemed like nice people, but eventually more unwelcomes began to turn up. Marxo saw this as a good thing but his parents knew better. They decided to establish a hierarchy with Marxo’s family heading the pack. This was agreeable since they were the first one aboard the island, but one family had different plans. They wanted the St. Laurant’s lifestyle , or better yet their lives. So one day the cooked up a scheme to take out this new head family. Since the St. Laurants’ did all of the hunting and cooking the other family decided that taking the load off of them for a day would be the best way to trick the family. It seemed like a convenience to Marxo and his family so they gladly accepted the invitation. The other would hunt and prepare a monstrous feast for the now,small village and the heads of the village but inside of the meals that they could would be either sleeping or paralyzing powder. On the night Marxo was turning 15 . He could never forget this night. It would be forever burned into his mind. His parents had been gutted like fishes in front of his very eyes. They had received the sleeping powder while he the paralyzing one. He knew they never stood a chance but he begged and pleaded with the other family. They just smiled and kept cutting till his parents resembled carved turkey. He knew he’d be next.

Just as they made their way towards him , the powder began to wear off. He could feel the blood rushing in his hands, then to his arms , and legs. Next came the pain. Tears swelled up in his eyes , as he continued to play helpless. As soon as the family made its move he’d destroy them. The father began to untie his hands. The moment he felt free he took the chair his was once sitting in and slammed it across the man’s face. He then picked up a piece of broken wood the chair and ran it like a dagger straight thru his heart. He stared at the other two women with soul-less eyes. “Your next.”, he exclaimed as he rushed towards them both with the same piece of wood he’d taken the man out with previously. He stabbed the women repeatedly until he was satisfied and passed out from exhaustion.

A few hours later he awoke to find himself on a slave tradeship, along with his fellow neighbors. The boat was headed for the east blue. He would spend the next 2 years as a cook aboard a floating restaurant in the sea until his killer mentality got the best of him and he slayed the entire crew. Before deserting the emptied cafe he’d stumbled upon an odd fruit. Upon eating the fruit his body began to turn into shadows. He later came to find out it was the “Yami Yami no Mi” fruit. For the next two years he trained and study everything he could find about the fruit .He truly wants to learn how to fully control the fruit and manipulate it to help him become a pirate.

Fruit: Moa Moa no Mi: The Moa Moa no Mi is a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit that allows the user to amplify the size or speed of any object they touch.

More More Sanjubai Giri (モアモア百倍斬り Moa Moa Hyaku-bai Giri, literally meaning "More More Thirtyfold Slash"): enlarges a scythe to 30 times its original size while it's flying towards his opponent.

More More Jubai Soku (モアモア十倍速 Moa Moa Jū-bai Soku, literally meaning "More More Tenfold Speed"): increases speed to 10 times original speed,

More More Sanjubai Soku (モアモア三十倍速 Moa Moa Sanjū-bai Soku, literally meaning "More More Thityfold Speed"): increases his speed to 30 times his original speed.

Fighting style: Jeet Kune Do(Wing Chun)- not fixed or patterned, and is a philosophy with guiding thoughts. It was named for the Wing Chun concept of interception or attacking while one's opponent is about to attack. Jeet Kune Do practitioners believe in minimal movements with maximum effects and extreme speed. The system works by using different "tools" for different situations, where the situations are divided into ranges, which are kicking, punching, trapping, and grappling, where martial artists use techniques to flow smoothly between them.

Ship Position: Tba.

Bounty: 0.

Nabil Valley

“It’s kinda like talking to a wall isn’t it. Seeing as I give no fucks.”

Name: Nabil "The Calm" Valley
Height/Weight: 5’9” / 142lbs
Age: 18

Personality

The alias “The Calm” was given to Nabil due to his infallible ability to seem un-phased by most antagonist. Some assume that he hides an intelligence behind this composed wall. Those are lies. He is as smart as the next man, maybe a bit more so, but that’s mainly due to his innate caution. He knows when to shut his mouth and when to speak out against others. In that aspect, he travels in a gray area. Where one person’s reality is not his own, but instead an adjacent to what could have been. In other words, he attempts to empathize with others. His love for the sea is directly tied to his extensive love for freedom, which contradicts his abnormal caution.

Home Island/Sea: Provestal Island.

History

The son of two Marines, it was very unlikely that Nabil would later become a pirate. In fact, his parent’s loving nature left little to be desired. When the two were deployed, expecting to be gone for several years, he was sent to live with distant relatives on Provestal Island. A quaint, small place where a unnerving calm saturated the air.

On the island he explored the deep woods that surrounded the small town. Finding interest in the giant wild life and floral. He couldn’t understand it for the longest, unwilling to show his ignorance he would remain that way for several months. When he finally asked his aunt and cousin, they explained that the oxygen levels on the island was abnormally high. He took those words to face value and continued finish his breakfast, a rather calm fascination now inside of him.

By the age of thirteen, Nabil had seemingly become the living force of Provestal Isle’s calm. Though many had resided on the isle, not many could match his level of tranquil. When others were too afraid to enter the force, he would walk through the greenery, alongside the giant beasts, and gaze at the crater in its center. Every day he returned there, he felt the urge to delve inside grow stronger. It was like the sound of the careening waterfall hitting the dark bottom was a calling card. It beckoned for him to adventure below but caution staid his descent.

At the age of fifteen, Provestal Isle was visited by a band of pirates. They washed ashore on a broken and shattered boat, the captain deeply worried about his crew. The island offered them shelter for three nights. Those three nights were filled with stories of stormy adventures and fanciful tales of the unnatural. Needless to say, Nabil was enticed by them. On the fourth night, the Marines surrounded the isle with a fleet of ranked officers. The Pirate Captain, who expressed his desire to not tangle the island up in his affairs had decided to give himself up. He left with his crew moments later.

An hour had peacefully passed before cannon fire had begun to rain down. A scarce group of the pirates returned in tears, warning that the marines was going to kill them all, despite their surrender. Behind them, the marines trampled forward. Nabil and his cousin, along with others, were told to retreat to the forest. To let the beasts protect them as a last resort. As Nabil guided his cousin to the crater, he could hear the cries of villagers as some of the beasts prowled on them. Dark smoke soon billowed from the tree line, orange heat lined its treetops.

Nabil believed his cousin and himself to be safe. That was until canon fire came dangerously close to them. Fear led him to trying to convince his cousin to dive into the crater with him; the promise of water below was not enough though. The boy, who was supposed to jump on three with him, had stayed on top, where canon fire had seared his face and tossed him out of sight.

At the bottom of the cavern spring, Nabil immediately swore vengeance on the Marines. He followed the water to the mouth of the island, one that led out into the ocean. Once he returned back to the shore, he witnessed the pirate captain shackled and ready to be inhumanly executed. Nabil realized that the majority of the Marines had left during his long stay in the cavern and that only a few was left. He would have heroically saved the guy, if he had been so afraid.

He was shot several times in the head before finally being left alone. Nabil waited until nightfall, when the sea was quiet and empty till he finally approached. The captain was dead but the beach was littered with members of his crew. As Nabil walked through, a bloodied hand grabbed him and instructed, with vexation in his voice, to avenge them. With that in mind, he told Nabil the location of a treasure near the inn in the village.

The village was burned to the ground and Nabil had all but given up hope on finding anyone alive. They all had bullets in them, one for each alive he figured. Once to the treasure chest, he found a fruit inside. He bit it after a bit of hesitance and after spitting it out, found out it was a devil fruit. He became a 10,000 degrees human. Years later and he had become a pirate, one hell bent on getting in the marines way. Usually his actions were small, intervening with rookie marines in small towns and allowing the escape of other pirates. Though recently he hijacked a marine ship and sailed it to Reverse Mountain.

Devil Fruit: Atsu Atsu no Mi (Hot Hot Fruit)

Fighting style: Direct and brutish, Nabil fights in conjunction with his Hot Hot Fruit abilities. Landing searing blows and burning away those that stand in his way. He seems to know some form of martial arts, as he often lowers into a stance when fighting one on one. With all the potential of a Supenova. Nabil has the possibility to use Observation Haki, Arms Haki, and Conquerors Haki. Though these have not been explored and largely unseen. He will need immense training to bring these out of himself.
