[OOC] One Piece: New Age

[Jensoman]

Alright, so, basicly, I will give everyone time to discuss the crew name, flag and how the ship looks like.

IC I am waiting for Asus/Zepha/Abigail to follow Lenwood.

After they have followed, it would be my turn to make my post. But I will wait until people have finished the discussion about the ship, crew name and flag.

I will give you guys today and tomorrow to discuss ideas. Unless everyone states that they have no more ideas, then I will move things forward sooner. The ship and flag will basicly look like discussed, to start out with.

But I will definitely move the plot forward on Saturday. If peeps can't come to agreements by then, I will move on by using a default-looking ship, and we can come up with a crew name and flag later.

Note that new additions to the ship can be made later, if the crew ends up finding the materials needed.

I vote on our ship being golden bloomer, and we'll be steel trunks pirates. : P

[Digizel]

Heh. Well, ship design aside for now, the Jolly Roger is usually associated strongly with the captain, right? So somehow, it should resemble Lenwood or be somehow representative of Lenwood. So perhaps the skull and crossbones, but with Lenwood's hairstyle would probably be a good starting point at least. His appearance on his profile is awfully lacking. Does he have anything special about his usual outfit that would look good on the JR? Like chains or ropes or...anything?

As for a crew name, there are a few options that I can think of. The first step would be coming up with a nickname for Lenwood to go by. Akin to "Straw-hat" Luffy of the Straw-Hat Pirates or "Whitebeard" of the Whitebeard Pirates. Then you can name the crew after that nickname.

Alternatively, you could give a name that relates to the crew's origins. Since the crew was gathered all at once, and in such a bizarre manner, and each person is so distinct or simply out of the ordinary, you could go with something like the "Misfit Pirates."

Finally, there's always the simple "Lenwood Pirates." It's rather unimaginative, but it's one to fall back on at least. xD

As for the ship...well, honestly, I feel like the ship we start with should be basic and rather dull. The crew can acquire a new ship more tailored to them later somehow like the Straw-Hats got the Merry-Go. Perhaps with our shipwright having helped build it or something.

[Duthguy]

@digizel You make some good points but to spruce up the Jolly roger we could also throw in a reference to Doflamingo's flag since Lenwood has the same DF as him.

How about we use one of these three ships as basis for our own

@Duthguy

All these ideas, really love them ^^ And by the way, my character face claim is Gray from Fairy Tail, for easy reference. I just happened to pick that picture since he looked like almost being killed ^^ The pain that Lenwood will face in the future. So, in conclusion, I'm up for Pic #1 for Ship but it should be slimmer in design.

Regarding flag, I'm open to anything really. If we agree upon Digizel's suggestion, the trademark thing from Gray (Fairy Tail, face claim of Lenwood) is his cross necklace. It's small but here's the full pic, it's a sword with blue diamond on the middle. Another trademark would be his strip-like habit, he likes to strip his top and walk around topless also he comes with boxer. Can we come up with a crew name with this small necklace like Silver Sword or something? AND maybe looks funny, but hey, I'm attracted to the word "Misfit Pirates" lol XD

@Duthguy

Yeah, I think the first one sounds good to me. =3 The second one looks like it's a row boat, and we don't know how long we'll keep it. xD And the first one just looks like a better ship in terms of design. Though yeah, a slimmer version of it would probably be a good idea~

The problem with making a reference to the Donquixote Pirates' JR is that it's...extremely simple in design. xD There's not really much to work with. The most obvious thing, I suppose, would be to copy that center smile as the skull part of the flag, but without the line going through it.

@zellected

Haha. Yeah, I was starting to suspect that that might have been the case, but I've seen very little of Fairy Tail since I plan to watch it at some point in the future (I mean...I watched One Piece from beginning to end, I don't see why I can't do that for FT xP). It's a shame you had to bar him from the Ice Fruit. xP

Haha. So then, how about I we do something a little bit similar to the Whitebeard flag? Where instead of a crossbones, we have the design of that silver sword pendant behind it?

As for the crew name...the silver sword pendant is DEFINITELY something noteworthy for the crew. So I do like the idea of using that as the basis for the name. Silver Sword works, but I feel like it could be improved. So how about something like the Silver Steel Pirates? I dunno, to me it just has a nicer ring to it. xD But of course, I'm still not opposed to keeping it at Silver Sword.

EDIT: Haha. Though after reading Zel's most recent post, I'm tempted to say the Troublemaker Pirates. xD

[Duthguy]

@zellected Since you clearly are a fairy tail fan judging by you picking Gray for appearance and Natsu for your avatar I'm wondering if you're familiar with Rave Master by the same mangaka.

@Duthguy

Yes, I know Rave Master but somehow, I'm not into it. Don't know why. Maybe you want to say this, but, yes, the Silver Sword is a Rave (the original plan from the author).

So, do you guys agree to Digizel's suggestion?

Ship Design will be slimmer version (the first one from Duthguy's pick)..

The crew flag can be like whitebeard but instead of crossbones, it will be the silver sword.

Possible crew names: Silver Sword Pirates, Silver Steel Pirates, Troublemakers XD

@zellected

Alright. I will move the plot forward now.

I will use the ship and flag that Zellected mentioned.

The crew name can be decided later on.

I will repost what has been decided on the 'characters' tab for reference for everyone later on if they wish to recheck on the ship, flag and crew name.

Later I will edit that post if we have settled on a crew name.

[IceHeart]

The ship is fine for a starter, can soup it up later. The flag should be fine however it is, not really sure about the name, but can't think of anything at the moment.

[Jensoman]

So um, everyone can get on the ship now. Now everyone knows how it looks like.

The flag can be hung up later, after the ship has left port and has moved a good distance away. Right now it has a white flag to avoid attention from the marines.

In the meantime however, feel free to keep brainstorming about a crew name.

THIS IT IT! THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY!!

[Walnutella]

Aye Aye, we can mention one of the crew members that paint or design the flag just like what Ussopp did at first lol

[Jensoman]

Yeah!

We'll get right into Chapter 1 once everyone boarded the ship.

[Digizel]

Alright, looks like there's just one more to go. xD

The crew name is probably coming up as soon as this prologue reaches its end. So I suppose we should probably finalize that relatively quickly.

[Jensoman]

Alright, so.

I will allow people to post from one to three posts today, to try to get some character interaction going.

Tomorrow, the "one post a day" rule will apply again.

At the same time, you guys could keep discussing what a good crew name could be :P

[Jensoman]

Asus isn't a woman-

GEEZ.

haha :P

LOVING ALL THE POSTS SO FAR GUYS!!!

[Duthguy]

Asus isn't a woman-

GEEZ.

LOVING ALL THE POSTS SO FAR GUYS!!!

@Jensoman

Since Iceheart edited their post I'm betting they were the one to give Asus a new gender this time, so as punishment I'm going to melt them using boiling water

[Jensoman]

Hider

At that point, one of the women with them began to talk, addressing which direction they'd be heading in and the weather conditions. He nodded at that. He wasn't completely comfortable with the idea that their navigator was new to the task, but it wasn't like he had any greater knowledge. After all, he had specialized his knowledge in medical care.

@Digizel

Actually...uh..

[Duthguy]

<Snipped quote by Digizel>

Actually...uh..

@Jensoman

Oh my bad. Sorry Iceheart. Now I have to come up with a punishment for Digizel instead and I think I'm gonna paint them pink

[Digizel]

Aaaaggghh, I keep getting all the genders wrong. xD There was one guy who became a girl during the creation process, but that was Zypha. For some reason I keep thinking it was Asus. xD

I blame the bizarre names
