One Piece: Next Generation

[sunhorsestar]

Why? Because I can.

30 years after One Piece ended, another generation rose up and took to the seas, in search of the legendary treasure, once again lost to the Grand Line. Sons and daughters, descendants of the original men and women of the Great Pirate Era, and things are more intense than ever.


MECHANICS


Devilfruits: Devilfruits are fruits of three types, Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia. Each have different abilities. Such are as follows:


Paramecia— This type of fruit offers the user the abilities to adapt their own body in specific ways. Anything physical to the human body.

Zoan— This type gives the user the ability to take on traits of an animal, almost like shapeshifting. Such as full or partial (partial usually done with great time spent training) transformation into the animal their fruit gives them.

Logia— This type gives the user elemental abilities, usually specific to one. Fire. Water. Earth. Air. The usual, plus some lesser known types.

SMILE— A SMILE fruit is an artificial Zoan fruit. Only 1 in 10 on average give their user powers. As well as the usual Devilfruit drawbacks, these people also lose the ability to express negative emotion (laughing instead of/during crying, grinning and laughing when upset instead of being able to communicate it properly) even if their fruit is unsuccessful.


Downsides? After consuming a Devilfruit, while a user gets wonderful powers, they can only take one Devilfruit, and after that, they’ll never be able to swim. Their effects can be countered by water and by what’s known as Seastone, which has very much the same effect. In water deeper than their knees, a Devilfruit user will sink like a rock.

R U L E S


Be nice to other players! This means no shaming, no being rude, and absolutely NO fighting in OOC. Bring problems to me and we'll have a group chat to talk things out and reach a compromise.

All CS rules apply at all times.

Romance is allowed and encouraged, but remember that this is a plot driven RP.

LGBTQ+ friendly!

Sign up as many characters as you like, but make sure to post actively. If someone doesn’t approach your character, start an interaction. If a character is being reposted doing the same thing (specifically not in interaction) or absent from the RP for more than a month, they’ll be assumed to have magically disappeared somehow, and be removed from the RP.

High ranks MUST be active!

Brings any questions/comments to me in PM or via the chat, and please only use the chat for RP talk.

NOTHING but reservations, forms, and acceptance from a mod should go in the RP sign-ups thread. I don’t want to have to search 30+ pages to find 10 characters.

Bring all plot ideas to me before putting them into play. I’d love to hear them!

No seriously injuring/killing another person's character without their permission.

No "perfect" characters. Everyone has weaknesses and flaws.

As this is a next generation RP, each original character may have up to 3 descendants. It goes without saying that regardless of if these are full or half siblings, there is to be NO romance between them!

Canon characters may show up on occasion, but will be played by me when they need to, as they are not a main focus.

Try to branch out when it comes to Devilfruits. Try to make something new up!

Feel free to claim whatever high ranks you wish, there’s no chosen-in-RP for this story!

A character must be 16+ to join the Marines.

30 is the maximum age at this point in time for characters, minus Admirals, Fleet Admiral, Bounty Hunters, and Civilians who are not descendants.

Please post a minimum of 2 lines. RP partners need SOMETHING to go off of. And try not to be repetitive if at all possible, unless a situation directly calls for it.

Rules are subject to change.

Interaction with more than one character is required, and if it’s not happeni

NO godmodding or powerplaying.

For Devilfruit-using characters, please please PLEASE abide by the weaknesses (usually just water and Seastone, but it depends.) of the fruit!

We will use the 3 strikes system. If rules are broken, the first time, you get a warning. The second time, a 3 day ban, the third time, a ban from the RP.

One Piece is a pretty wide world. Your character can be of almost any race/species!

There is not a hard limit on how many Devilfruit user characters you may play, but keep in mind that Devilfruit are considered quite rare in the world of One Piece.

Reservations last a week.

Please enter all the info on the form, minus the ones where ~ is optional, and feel free to add anything you like, if you wish more detail.

Mods control passage of time/weather

Please don’t play your own crush/lover either, that’s not how interaction works. Past crushes are fine.

If you won't be on for more than a couple weeks, let a mod know.

If an RP partner has been away for more than a few days (for me I tend to say 4-5, but it varies person to person), please move your character along to a new interaction.


If you have read and agreed to these rules, put the thumbs-up in your form! ^_^

Name: Arian
Nicknames: Ari (by close friends and family only)
Age: 21
Gender: Female

Personality: Arian is fiery and has a strong will. She wants her way and if there’s a way she can have it, she'll pounce on it. She can be quite snappish and short-tempered, however, she does respect and obey her superiors. Or at least she did way back when she wasn’t the top of the ranks! If there is one thing Arian understands, it is strength. She respects strength, and those who are strong, both physically and mentally. She has no tolerance whatsoever for disrespect.

Arian is always on the move, she likes to be kept active, rather than lazing around most of the time, and adores her job, both for the honour of defending her crew, and for the thrill of the adventures they’ve seen. Arian is a strategist and a trickster in battle, largely due to her small size in comparison to many of her opponents, she relies on this, and prizes herself on this and her Devilfruit. That said, she is a very proud woman and is not afraid to truly be herself, and doesn’t care the opinion of others regarding her.

Arian dislikes those who are impulsive and reckless overall, and she admires someone who thinks before they act. She admires someone who knows who they are, and what they’re doing, and would never ask anyone to change their being for anyone else's sake. She herself knows who she is, and is very solid on that. Unfortunately, part of that is also that she’s a bit of a pessimist, living in the moment and looking only at what’s happened in the past, and not where to move forward in the future. She worries about her worth at times, and tries her hardest to disguise it around her crew and just keep moving on.

Arian is a lone wolf in a sense, as she often suspects others find it hard to be around her and her temper, and that’s okay. She doesn’t mind being alone if that’s the way she was born to be. She knows that much like her father, she was born with a certain harshness that is hard for many folk to deal with, and makes it easy to make enemies. That said, it doesn’t mean she WANTS to be on her own. Despite her sharp tongue and impatience, Arian is social enough once she’s found it in herself to place trust in someone. On the flipside of Arian's overall impatience and mistrust is a side that loves good, lighthearted fun, and craves positive interaction. She tries her best to be a support, though this can often come off at her just giving someone the blunt, brutal honesty, and attempting to give them ways to fix whatever the problem at hand is.

History: She won't let on much. What is known so far is that as a child and young teen, Arian sailed with her father's crew. When she was 18, she left though to found her own, causing a rift between her and her father, disappointed she would leave the crew that sailed with and sheltered and fed her, but simultaneously proud of her ambition, but she cared little for what anyone said. For the words exchanged between them. Two sharp tempers don’t mix well. Things had settled for a while, life was boring, and when the excitement reared its head again, Arian was determined to be a more active part of it this time. This time, she wanted to be the leader, not the follower.

Crush/Partner: None yet, but open to forming a relationship.
Sexuality: Bi
Relevant Family: Eustass Kid (father), half sister (on mother's side) Angelina
Canon Parent: Eustass Kid (father)

Role: Pirate
Rank: Captain
Appearance: Arian is 5'6, with shoulder length brown hair with streaks of lighter brown here and there, and brownish amber eyes. Her skin is pale and she has lean, wiry muscle. Arian wears a modest brown t-shirt and black pants, easy to move in.

Devilfruit: Ōkami-Ōkami no Mi- A Zoan fruit that allows her to transform into a giant (4ft tall) dark brown wolf.
Weapon of Choice: Devilfruit. Alternately, a knife she keeps tucked under the folds of her shirt.
Crew: Red Rose Pirates (founder)

(Armament) Busoshoku Haki (weak)
(Observation) Kenbunshoku Haki (strong)
Enhanced agility (from Devilfruit)
Enhanced strength (from Devilfruit)
High endurance
Martial arts (unprofessionally taught, 5 years)

Name: Kaela
Nicknames: Feel free to give them one!
Age: 21
Gender: Genderfluid (AFAB)


Personality: Kaela is very protective, and very nurturing of those around them, sometimes to an unhealthy degree. They have severe commitment issues to those around them, even when they shouldn’t, for once Kaela has dedicated themselves to a relationship, be it friends, enemies, lovers, that’s that, and they will not budge. Kaela is very emotionally driven, and likely to fall to those emotions, which can change in the blink of an eye. For the most part, they're a cheerful, energetic, and passionate person with a big heart, willing to give generously, and offer support wherever someone needs it, be it friend, family, or even a total stranger. They are easily given to frustration and anxiety, however. They're full of surprises, and will often pull the last thing someone expects.

Kaela is honest except when they need to lie to protect someone, and they hold blame and resentment towards themself even for the little white lies. They have never wanted to see themself as a liar, but recognize that sometimes it can’t be helped. They've got an overly curious mind which can sometimes lead to trouble. They just can’t leave well enough alone if that curious streak acts up, even if that means being nosy. Kaela is a risk-taker, adventurous, and always caught right in the middle of the drama, whether they've caused it, or stuck their nose into it. They would gladly put themself in harm's way to protect anyone, it doesn’t matter if they know them well or not.

Kaela is very active, very creative, but doesn’t always know when to stop. They're quite jumpy and easily caught off-guard, and can be a BIT squeamish at times. They can talk for hours on end if given the chance, and enjoy any kind of conversation. They detest hurting other people's feelings, and if they do for ANY reason, tends to hold it over themself for a long time. Kaela is encouraging, and incredibly empathetic. One could say that when a situation is described to them, they can almost feel it right along with the person who’s describing it for a time. Kaela loves to goof wherever and whenever possible, to laugh and talk and make others laugh, even though they personally don't think they're all that funny. They still like to TRY. However, when it comes to something they’re passionate about, they can take it seriously and become a down-to-earth, more or less focused person. Even an angry person if something they care deeply about is threatened.

Kaela was always an actor in a way, loving to play a part, both literally and metaphorically, and can be prideful. They're very trusting right away, and sometimes...that’s not a great thing, and they can end up running with the wrong crowd. Kaela is very social and hates being alone for extended periods of time. They can come up with crazy projects, and does whatever can to make them work, even if it seems like all the odds are against them, or they’ve been told specifically it’s impossible. They absolute hate the idea of failure.

Kaela likes helping others however possible, be it helping verbally, with tasks, or just offering support as needed. They like teaching and showing off what skills they themselves have, perhaps becoming a show-off to an almost unhealthy degree. Kaela is very emotional, in all ways. Ups and downs, and often those emotions are exaggerated, or get blown out of proportion. They are highly and often irrationally anxious. They’re very sensitive, and sometimes Kaela has a hard time understanding written word, or something someone says the first time around. They’re very curious, and have a deep love for history, mythology, and anything artistic or storytelling related.

Kaela is VERY determined, to the point where they often don't know when they've been beat. If someone says 'you can’t do it' or 'that's impossible', Kaela goes out of their way to prove them wrong. They resemble their father in a variety of ways, which Kaela has been able to acknowledge. Kaela has always liked to dream big, to try and reach for the stars, and isn't afraid to falling as long as it means they’ve tried.

Crush/Partner: None yet, but open to developing something!
Sexuality: Bi with no particular lean
Relevant Family: Whatever siblings may be signed up, half sister Sheyan (younger), parents
Canon Parent: Coby

Role: Marine
Rank: Commander
Desired Rank: Admiral
Appearance: 5'5, with long, dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and a lean build. Kaela has some muscle but doesn’t flaunt it, and dresses simply, wearing the Marine standard uniform, and off duty, whatever she can find that’s comfortable.

Devilfruit: Ugoki-Ugoki no Mi- Movement-Movement Fruit. A Devilfruit with the power of telekinesis…within reason. The heavier the object, the more it tires Kaela out.
Weapon of Choice: A sword or their own body.

Special Abilities/Skills:

Incredibly fast
High skills of martial arts
Busoshoku Haki (average
