To start with a quick summary it will be a totally AU or OC adventure with no characters from the show actually in it. However the world, powers and general dynamics will still be the same. We have seven shichibukai, younku, and three admirals. Any devil fruit more or less is up for grabs. I recommend making your own as this promotes creativity. However if there is a fruit out there that already exists but you wish to use it in a different way or context you can take it. If for example you wanted the gum gum fruit (probably won't allow this one in particular so perhaps a bad example) you would have to create your own techniques rather than gear 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ect.
There is no real size limit for the crew. We can make it on a few people or a huge crew. Either is fine. We will always be accepting new members as well. As far as islands go they will all be new with the exception of Reverse Mountain and Fishman island. Both are integral to the geography of the world. Anyone who wishes to have any kind of arc in mind they can contact me and there will be a work in for it so long as it is approved. Any person leading an arc has the power to lead that arc if they so wish. There will be a record in the characters section where i list all previous villains and if they are alive or dead. PMing me the villain I will post it there.
I currently have one co-gm already. If by any sort of lucky stroke this becomes a larger group than just 4-5 people then I would be looking for a 2nd co-gm as well. HOpefully their characters will respectively be first and second mates. Not necessarily guaranteed for it to fall that way.
Any other questions concerns or interests? Here is an exceprt of what is the planned first post.
Many stories are of heros or of great deeds. Many stories start with the birth or death of someone. In this case it is far less poetic. This is the story of a crude, unorthodoxed and borderline dysfunctional band of merry misfits, scallywags and privateers. A tale of highs and lows as the romance of their adventure through this grand world leaving wakes of change as they go. OUr tale begins in a bustling small town known as the "town of contradiction". Its location is at the base of reverse mountain and the mouth of the grand line.
Its contradiction comes from its two main routes. On the one hand you have youthful and dreamy eyed rookies setting off for the grand line still filled with all of their hopes. The second are those that have been scuffed by the grand line. Their spirits are broken down. Both are polar opposites of each other. Many shops have been built around the massive lighthouse. Most are trying to sell supplies to the new rookies setting out for adventure. Log post are one of the most common accommodations that are sold (often at bloated prices). Things like food, water and rope are also common things here as well. Some are scam artists trying to pass off false logposts as real ones.
Of course as any town with plenty of pirates there is are taverns aplenty. In the largest tavern, The Rusty Wench, two strange individuals sit at a long table by themselves. The first is a young girl looking to be only in her early 20's with blazing red hair with white blond highlights. Her eyes a brilliant aqua green. Her pointed ears stick out some but not more than her massive collar and thick orange gloves. On her right arm is a skull and bones tattoo of some kind. She stands at an unimpressuve and average height for a human girl. Beside her however is a strangely dressed bullshark fishman. He stands taller than most human men and his scars from head to toe. He wears traditional japanese kimono with a massive katana at his side.
While the girl is warm and inviting the shark beside her is overly intimidating and off putting. A piece of white cloth behing held by several heavy glass beer mugs hangs over the front of the long table. Poorly written on the massive white cloth reads as follows
"Pirate Crew Sign ups. Beware, adventure and danger aplenty. Faint of heart need not apply."
