Once upon a time there was a girl named Digitaldreamer. She was bored, and visited the 4Shame forums so she could inform the dubbies that Zoro wasn’t a breath mint. She was bored. Digitaldreamer liked role-playing and made a decision out of boredom to start a One Piece role-play on the 4Shame forums. She certainly did not expect how popular it was going to be. She expected perhaps one or two applications, but she received a mountain of them. She did expect to have a very involving plot, but one of her new-found nakama helped come up with a wonderful plot. She didn’t expect it to last any longer than a few weeks, but it’s lasted almost half of a year now and still going strong. She certainly didn’t expect to make so many nakama through it, either. Yet there was a problem. The problem was the oppressive 4Shame forum. And so, Digitaldreamer moved the RP to the Boards of Great Justice ™ and there was much rejoicing. Right, anyhoo, so this is the great One Piece RPG. Huzzah and joy and what not. In this RP, you either play as a Straw Hat pirate, or you play as an original character and join the Straw Hat crew. Seeing how the only Straw Hat pirate left free at the moment is Usopp, I’m going to assume that means most of you will wish to play original characters. This thread is for applying to join. Please keep in mind that your character has to be fleshed out. No original characters whom are super perfect. Your character must have flaws, personality and strength wise. Please, no copying canon characters fighting styles. (Such as Zoro’s three-sword style, for example.) Your original character is not allowed to be so incredibly powerful that they surpass Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji in strength easily, are so smart that they’re smarter than Nami and Ussop, or have devil fruit powers that are insanely powerful and surpass everyone else in the canon universe. If your character is like that, you won’t be permitted to join. Devil fruit powers- If your character has a logia devil fruit, they can only control one element. No, you may not have a devil fruit that can control all elements or time or space or whatever. No, you may not have a devil fruit that gives you wings, unless it’s a Zoan type that turns your character into a REAL creature with wings. Magic- No magic. Period. No “firaga” or whatever, this isn’t Final Fantasy. Fight techniques- Keep it realistic. If your character is fifteen, they aren’t going to be a master of fifty styles of martial arts. So…yeah… No characters related to canon characters. Your character cannot be Zoro’s long lost sister, or Luffy’s –other- older brother, or Sanji’s best friend before he went to sea. No relations to canon characters. Also, if plan on having your character join the Straw Hats, they cannot right away. You have to role play your character joining and develop their relationship with the canon characters. Basically, if your character is mostly a physical fighter, make them act it. If your character is more of a smart cookie and doesn’t like to do battle, keep them that way and don’t make them suddenly super strong too. Balance your character out, give them weaknesses to balance their strengths. Now, here are the rules. 1. If you can’t spell very well, please type your post first in a program that has spellcheck, like Microsoft Word. Use spellcheck, then copy and paste your post into the posting area. This makes things a lot easier on everyone, as then we avoid hard to read posts and thus avoid much confusion. 2. Discription is good. Adjectives are your friends. 3. Romance is allowed, between canon characters, between original characters, it doesn’t matter. Shonen ai and shojo ai are allowed as long as you keep it PG. But please, if you’re going to have your character, say, crushing on Zoro, don’t expect him to automatically fall for that character. It’s the other players’ decision. 4. Post. Check the boards regularly. If you haven't posted in two weeks, I'm afraid you'll have to be removed from the game. I don't want to do this, but it will, essentially, come down to whether or not we want the game to hang. Which we don't. 5. The max number of characters that you are allowed to have is one. The poor Going Merry has enough people on it as it is, I’d rather not have to role-play everyone getting a new ship and have to play out the whole Water 7 drama thing with myself. I’m only playing Usopp until we find someone willing to play him. 6. You get three warnings, one for every time you break the rules. After the third warning, you’re out. 7. If you’ve read the rules, put “gomu gomu” in your post. Name: Age: Gender: Distinguishing Marks: Family: Likes Dislikes: Fav. Saying: Hobbies: Physical Weaknesses: Physical Strengths: Devil fruit: (If they have one, please keep it from being over powerful and it cannot be one already used in the show/manga.) Weapon: Dream: Physical Description: (include eye & hair color, height, weight, clothing.) Personality: History: Writing Sample: Please just write a quick paragraph in character, so we can see that you have a good grasp on your character and your character isn’t overly perfect. The default scene is that the Going Merry is being attacked by a sea monster, but if you want you can do something else, as long as it shows how you would write in your post. If you’re applying for Usopp, just do a writing sample so I know you have a good grasp on the character. Also, keep in mind that now isn’t the best time to enter the RP. You can apply, but now probably isn’t the best time to enter. Thank you, and have fun~! Your friendly neighborhood GM, Digitaldreamer |

I'd just like to add that the 2 weeks thing is only going to be enforced if the game IS hanging. There's been periods longer than that where, for one reason or another, the game was essentially on hiatus, so don't feel the need to post something if for some reason other people can't post, or Digitaldreamer can't post. You probably won't be kicked in that case, only if it's really holding up the game and a lot of people are all waiting on your reply. And... uh... *Looks to see if he still has Shozen's tremendously long bio* Yep, I do. Though I think that this was the shortened version I had to use because 4Shame has a serious limit on post length... Oh, and I'm going to assume that the old rule for gomu gomu still stands, which is that, you must put Gomu Gomu somewhere in your post in order for us to know that you read the rules, otherwise your post will be ignored/deleted (since Digi has mod powers here) Name: Shozen Arizuma Age: 17 Gender: Male Distinguishing Marks: The skin on his left arm is covered with scar-like tissue. Family: None that he is aware of (died). Likes: Jokes, encountering others who understand that having power gives you a duty to those who do not have power (that sort of comes across funny, but…) Dislikes: Seeing people abuse their power, the Marines. Fav. Saying: Power isn’t a means to help yourself, it’s the ability and duty to do for others what they can’t do for themselves. Hobbies: Fishing (it’s the one time you can take a nap and claim to be doing something productive at the same time), sparring (when he has a partner). Physical Weaknesses: Has a relatively low constitution, and his endurance for pain is low. Physical Strengths: He is moderately strong, and pretty fast, tending to rely more on speed than defense or power in combat. Devil fruit: Keijou-keijou fruit (Shape-shape fruit). Grants him the ability to merge his body with nearly anything, forming it into any shape he wants. For example, he could fuse soil with his hand to form a stone blade that covered his hand (made of stone from the minerals in the soil), making it essentially part of his body until he chooses to resume normal shape. For a weapon with a mechanical device (ie. A gun’s hammer) when he fuses it with his body, he gains control of that function (ie. He can fire a gun attatched to his arm without having to use his other hand to pull the trigger) so long as it isn’t excessively large (he couldn’t, for instance, control a ship’s rudder). He can only fuse himself with things slightly larger than his body, for instance, a canon is within his abilities, but not a battleship. Also, when fusing a material to his body, he can alter it’s composition on a molecular level, for instance, making something denser and harder, however, it resumes its normal shape when it defuses from him. An additional drawback to his Devil Fruit is that he cannot touch raw salt, or salt water, as it will instantly fuse to his body, draining it of moisture, causing him great pain in the process. In consideration of the fact that some salt is needed for the human body to live, I’m just going to say that eating salt or things with sodium won’t hurt him, as long as it’s in small quantities. Weapon: Anything that he can fuse with his body, but he prefers to use either a sword or spear-like weapon. Dream: To eliminate the corruption within the Marines. Physical Description: He has black hair which is slightly long, which he tends not to wear in any particular style, just sort of however it falls over his face, which results in him having to push it out of his eyes fairly often. He wears black pants and a sleeveless black shirt, over which he wears a short dark blue jacket, which he leaves open (see Edward Elric minus his red coat to get a basic idea, I can’t really describe it well…). The left arm of the jacket is missing, and, in its place, he wears a leather wrap over his left arm, as well as a black glove. He is about 5’ 8”, and is in good shape, while not especially muscular. Personality: Typically pretty laid-back and easy going, but he can become very serious when people around him are threatened, or when confronted with people who abuse their power. History: He came from a small fishing town where he lived with his father, Sora, and his mother, Angie (give me grief for the names and bad things will happen to you… *wink wink*). The family had decided to take a vacation on a cruise ship (well, they do have them *points at episode 1*) using some money that they had saved up. Unfortunately, the ship attracted pirates, who abruptly attacked it. Hope rose for the passengers when they spotted a Marine vessel that was rather close by, but faded just as quickly when that ship too opened fire. Shozen (who was, at the time, 13), who had always been taught by his parents to respect the Marines as the guardians of order in the world, was shocked that they could so easily be bribed into turning against a defenseless vessel that they should be protecting. Between the two enemy vessels, the ship was quickly incapacitated and many of the passengers were killed by the pirates, not from cannon fire so much as to ensure their silence about what had transpirired. Others were taken prisoner under false accusations by the Marines. Shozen’s parents fell into the former category. In spite of his rage at the pirates and desire for revenge, Shozen realized that his best chance for his own survival was if he jumped ships to the Marine’s vessel and preteneded to be a stow away from another town. When he was discovered shortly after completing that task, he begged to be taken along to a Marine base so that he could enlist and train to be a Marine, claiming that it was his life’s dream. The Marines, not being able to do anything else with him, really, agreed to bring him along. Shozen did join the Marines, and spent several years there, though he never advanced much in rank. During that time, he trained himself hard so that one day he would be strong enough to protect the people around him. He learned the basics of navigation as well as how to judge the weather, neither of which he was especially good at. He discovered many officers who believed honestly and strongly in the job of the marines, to protect the people and enforce order, and many who merely wanted the power that came with the position. Finally, Shozen asked to unenlist from the Marines, and, using some saved money, purchased a small ship and set sail. He wasn’t sure what he was looking for, but he also knew that he wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything from within the Marines themselves when so many of them were motivated by money and power. After a nasty storm, which caught him completely unawares due to his lack of proficiency in that area, he was left stranded on a very small island, with little food, though there was plenty of drinkable water left over from the storm. While looking for something that he could possibly use to escape the island, he found an odd-looking fruit, which he ate. At the time, he was sitting on the beach, and, upon picking himself up, he discovered that the sand had become stuck to his skin. No, he thought, somehow the sand had become part of his skin. He nearly panicked, before he recalled an old legend he had once heard about the Devil Fruit that would grant a person bizarre powers in exchange for them never being able to swim again. It was now more important than ever that Shozen find some sort of boat to get him off of the island. Thinking that his new power could, perhaps, help him with this task, he learned the basics of how to control it over the next few days. By this time, he had exhausted his supply of food, and began to head for the sea to attempt to fish using a makeshift spear attached to his right arm. It was at this point that Shozen discovered that he couldn’t even enter salt water without excessive pain. However, faced with a lack of any other options, Shozen managed to endure the pain and caught some fish from tidal pools using his left arm, producing its scarred appearance (this isn’t an immediate after-affect, but his left arm was exposed a fair bit, so it was more of a gradual thing). Finally, Shozen managed to create a more-or-less seaworthy raft using his power to create tools to work on it with. He once more set sail, and from there began his adventures on the open sea… Writing Sample: Shozen walked down the streets of the town. It was great to have firm land underneath his feet again, if only for a little while, especially since if he was hit with a little ocean spray it felt like getting blasted with hot embers. He really needed a more sizeable vessel so it wouldn’t happen so much. Only then he couldn’t crew it himself. A sigh escaped his lips as he realized that he’d either have to stay in one place long enough to make some friends or else bear with the perils (for him) of the ocean. Shozen suddenly spotted something at the edge of his peripheral vision. Turning slowly, so as not to appear to be looking at what was going on in particular, he noticed a group of young men about his own age, maybe a bit older, backing an older man into an alley. “Well, either they’re a bunch of thugs, or they’re having a tea party,” he thought to himself, “and it’s too close to dinner for tea.” Then he mentally slapped himself in the face for even thinking such a bad joke, and walked closer, all the while not appearing to be heading straight for the alley in case one of the thugs was watching. “I- I told you, I’ll get you the rest of your money next week,” pleaded the old man, desparation creeping into the edge of his voice. The thugs had him backed against the wall of the alley, and in his trembling hands he was holding out a small leather pouch. “That’s all I’ve got right now, but if you’ll just give me a little time-” He was abruptly cut short as one of the thugs, apparently the leader, slammed his fist against the wall to the right of the old man’s head and shouted “That’s not good enough.” Bringing his face right up in front of the old man’s he continued speaking in a low growl. “Maybe we should just take some the rest of this debt in blood,” he said, holding up a long bladed knife. Before any of the thugs could react, their leader was hurtling towards the ground, propelled by a fist seemingly made of solid stone. Shozen stood next to the thugs, a cold fire burning in his eyes as he glared at them. The two thugs just stared at him, and at the stone fist that had knocked out their boss with just one blow. Shozen returned their glances coldly, then took a step forwards. The two thugs backed up rapidly until they were pressed up right against the back of the alley, quivering in fear. Shozen simply looked at them and said coolly “Power isn’t the ability to make life better for yourself, it’s the ability and duty to do for others what they can’t do for themselves. Never forget that. Now swear to never harm this man again, and get out of my sight.” The thugs ran like they were being chased by a demon, mumbling apologies and promises to live good lives that probably wouldn’t last out the week anyway. Shozen sighed, as the stone around his fist crumbled into soil and fell to the ground. Turning to the old man and smiled as he said “Sorry if I startled you a bit, but I expect that you won’t be hearing from them again.” He then turned to walk out of the alley back into the street. “Wait!” called the old man. “Could you give me your name before you go?” “My name?” asked Shozen, “Shozen Arizuma, at your service.” |

WHOOO *happy dance* XD Yay for RP. ...Maybe I'll be better at staying active here than at my own RP sites >.> (*is a bad admin* x.x) I was going to expand a lot on the profile, but... I'm lazy at the moment. And really tired. And, like, on cloud nine because I just had my first kiss (okay, two of them >.>) about two hours ago... So for the moment, I'll just be elaborating a little ^^ Name: Kiley Asa Age: Around 19, but she is not actually sure. Gender: Female Distinguishing Marks: Kiley tends to hide as much of her body as she can. When caught without the guard of her cloak’s high cowl and her thick hair, one can see her most distinguishing feature: her slender, pointed ears, a birth defect that changed her life forever. Her other distinguishing feature is also hidden beneath her clothing: long, dark scars wrap around the length of her right arm. Family: Kiley cannot truly remember them. She likes to think of her first crew as her family, as she grew very close to all of the pirates, especially the captain. Likes: Kiley enjoys the peace she can find at the sea during a calm day. She loves listening to nature, especially a gentle rain or waves crashing softly onto a shore. She likes her alone time, able to find the perfect solice in solitude, but realizes her survival depends on travelling with others. Dislikes: Kiley cannot stand travelling through bustling towns or cities. Huge masses of people make her uncomfortable, the destruction that had to be wrought to create the living areas upset her. She dislieks violence, but will condone the practice and participate in it to uphold her safety of the safety of one of her companions, though she hates having to fight. She would much rather stand on the sidelines and help, passively, those in need. Fav. Saying: Hush now, and listen to the wind. It speaks of happier times and gives us the strength to heal. Hobbies: Kiley likes to spend her time stone-still and listening to the wind. When she can find no such escape, she passes the hours carving drift wood, a difficult feat made more difficult for her due to the lack of use of her right hand. She has learned to make due with holding the wood between her knees and carving with her left hand. Her trifles made in such a way are clumsy, but she loves them none the less. Physical Weaknesses: Her most obvious weakness resides in her weak right arm. Her hand is of no use to her – it can grasp nothing. She can barely move her fingers enough to make a weak fist. The arm attached to the lame hand can move, but slowly, so she must make due at almost all times with her left arm. Though she is far from being the slight damsel in distress due to her small frame, she has far less strength than most of her crew members on any given ship. She can fight well, but lacks the stamina necessary to partcipate in long-lasting battles or duels. Physical Strengths: Her left arm has, through necessary training, become quite the tool for her. It can move deftly, and with it, she can manipulate the large sword she calls a weapon single-handedly. She can move quickly and get through tight spaces, but her speed is far from extraordinary –it is much closer to being just above average – but, combined with her sword, she can be a decent foe in the throes of battle. Devil fruit: Chiyu Chiyu no mi – Cure Cure Fruit. Kiley has gained the ability to heal her companions. She has not come close to mastering her power yet, however, so it is still quite weak. She can cure no diseases, heal no internal wounds, and help none suffering from anything natural. She also cannot use her power on herself. As of the moment, she can merely cure skin wounds, namely cuts. She overtaxes herself fairly easily, and the larger the wound, the harder it is for her to deal with it. She has come to the point of rendering herself unconcious at times from heavily overusing her powers, but she continues to practice them, and is slowly building up her stamina for it. She has learned a great deal of physical medicine, however, so she can care for wounds through normal methods, and does so often for her crews. Weapon: Kiley’s main weapon is the sword strapped to her back. She avoids drawing the weapon when she can, but she can be deadly with it when provoked or forced into a battle. The blade measures a meter long, and is a difficult weapon to control. She has, through years of practice, learned to manipulate it with only her left hand. The blade is unremarkable in appearance, and she rarely lets any know she has it, keeping it hidden beneath her cloak during most times. Her small carving blade could also make a deadly weapon, as she spends great amounts of time keeping its edges sharp, but she has never let it be stained with blood. Should it ever be used against another, living being, she would most likely abandon it for a new, clean blade. Dream: Kiley wants nothing more to understand her origins and find a place where she can live in peace, without the need to kill for survival. She rarely makes time for these thoughts to manifest, however. She dreams for more practical, in the now hopes, such as learning to control her powers enough to heal all and thus never have to let another die again, since she has, by lacking necessary skills, let people under her care slip away from the realm of life. Physical Description: Kiley stands at a slight five feet. She hides her form as often as possible beneath a long, velvet-green cloak. A high cowl surrounds most of her face, and what hair can be seen sticks out unevenly over its edges. When caught without the protection of this garment, she appears as a normal, young woman. Her thick, dull red hair reaches down her back in a plait. Parts of her hair have been cut chin-length, and effectively cover her ears. When brushed aside, her pointed ears become visible. Her pale skin belies the fact that she has been at sea for many years. Her dark eyes, the same color as her cloak, contrast to the pallor of her visage. Her outfit beneath her cloak does little to hide herself. Her baggy pants tie off at her knees and are made of a dark green material. Fabric of the same color wraps around her chest, tied off in the back akwardly. Her right arm, completely vulnerable to all glances, is covered from her palm to her wrist, from her wrist to her elbow, and from her elbow to her shoulder in dark scars. Dark brown, leather sandles protect her feet, their straps winding up her legs and tied off in clumsy knots below where her pants end. Personality: Kiley hides herself as much as she can, and thus comes across as quite the enigma. She rarely opens up to anyone. Her quiet voice and shut-off personality paralel with her distrust to the world, and distrust in herself. She loathes showing her emotions to others, always feeling the need to appear stronger than she truly is. She tries to come off to others as the brave, silent type, willing to make any sacrifice, but prefering her alone time. In truth, she longs for a person to open up to, and fears many things, most of all failure and conflict. History: Kiley remembers little of what she did before she became a cabin girl on a pirate ship, when she was a mere seven years of age. The captain, a kind-hearted fool of a pirate, resuced her from a wreckage. He either never knew of where the wrekage came from, or never let her know of it. Kiley served on the ship for another seven years of her life. She enjoyed her life, enjoyed the crew. They became her family. The captain all but adopted her. The ideal life as a pirate, one replicated into joyful stories about the romantic age of pirates, was shattered one dark afternoon. The crew could fight, they could survive and hold their own, but they were no match for the more ruthless crews prowling the merciless seas. All were slaughtered or taken prisoner – Kiley was one of the few to survive to work for another crew. The life she picked up on her second crew was a horrible year. Unused to punishment for failure, the reprimands she received for missing a spot mopping or clumsily sewing a tear in a sail were torture for her. She was forced to miss many meals, and, due to its position at a critical point in her growing life, it stunted her growth. One day, the ship was docked at a town known for its pirating ploys. One member of her original crew was still alive, and took her to escape. They disappeared into the city. During the confusion of the escape, however, Kiley and her crewmate were seperated. Kiley found herself lost in a city where she felt all leered at her and she could find no peace. She huddled in a dirty corner between two taverns for ten hours until her friend found her again. She has never lived down that experience. The two found work on a more peaceful pirate ship. Not as idealyic as her first pirating experience, but nowhere near the torture of her second, Kiley fell into an easy pattern in which she lived out the next three years of her life. It was during this time that hew crew found the Cure Cure Fruit, and, after many discussions, alloted it to Kiley, deciding her already current medical prowess to be the best vessle for the magical fruit. This fell apart as well. The crew was overrun by the Navy. In the attack, the mast was destroyed – and the largest remnent of it fell onto the outstreched arm of a fallen Kiley. Splintered shards cut up her arm and the weight of the massive block of wood crushed most of the bones in her arms. Kiley was pinned. She became an easy target. The Navy saved her from the wood, then took her and imprisoned her. Doctors tended to her arm, but could not save it. It merely healed over the surface – the arm would never function the same again. Kiley remained in prison for a year. While being relocated, she escaped, to wander the new land in search of a new crew to join… |

Here's my old application from on the 4Shame forum(gomu gomu): Name:Zes Dro (nickname is Spazzi) Age: 11 very young. Gender: boy Distinguishing Marks: He has smooth black hair that goes down the sides of his head. he has black eyes. He always wears a ragged brown cloak he wore since he was isolated and he wears long dark blue pants. Family: He's an orphan and his only sibling died. Likes: helping his friends. Dislikes: having his friends hurt. Fav. Saying: whatever Hobbies: climbing. Physical Weaknesses: basically anything that's supposed to hurt. Physical Strengths: none except when he's in fiend-fiend mode. Devil fruit: Mainly the fiend-fiend fruit, although he's eaten several devil fruits, it's the only one he can use. Spazzi is spazmatic. And whenever he gets a spaz attack, he goes into fiend-fiend mode and goes berserk, randomly using the power of a devil fruit he ate before. In this mode , Spazzi's eyes transform to become a lizard's with a stripe.(In SonicX, Perfect Chaos also had this eye) Although fiend-fiend mode is super powerful, he also loses his mind, attacking everyone near him, and Spazzi dislikes using the power, although he can't help it. Weapon: in desperate times, a pocketknife. Dream: to be rid of the fiend-fiend fruit. Physical Description: Height is 4'5. Weight is 80 pounds. He has a slightly gloomy look on his face. Personality: Spazmatic.quiet and slightly gloomy, slightly cowardly(not as much as usopp)in a battle, usually keeps to himself, but deep inside, he's kinder and caring. History: He was captured by pirates at the age of nine and was badly mistreated so Spazzi had a bunch of spaz attacks which caused the pirates to mistreat him even more. Then an epidemic came and Spazzi was afraid, so he took as much food as he could, climbed up to the lookout tower, cut all the ropes, and hid there. The pirates were very successful and had four different devil fruit, which were all eaten by Spazzi. Spazzi carefully rationed his food, and the pirates were just waiting for him to starve or die of the epidemic. Amazingly though, he stayed there for five months without the epidemic just isolated in the lookout when a storm hit and he was shipwrecked on an island inhabited by pirates who ate the fruit of the dark-dark tree, the only source of food on the island(cuz the fish wouldn't even swim near the dark island). So Spazzi ate even more devil fruit until Luffy came to the island and Spazzi learned the meaning of friendship. But when Luffy and his crew battled the dark pirates, they were overpowered and Spazzi used the power of the fiend-fiend fruit to completely annihilate the pirates and he almost killed Luffy and the crew until luffy reminded Spazzi that they were his friends and Luffy finished off the captin. Afterwards, Spazzi explains that his family was dead, so he joins Luffy's crew, becomng a part time lookout, parttime captain's steward. Writing Sample: Uh, mine is wrong.

Uh... yeah... Envy, as a mod for this game (weird... Here I'm the admin and Digi's the mod, but it's pretty much backwards in the role play...) I'd appreaciate it if you'd post everything at once. The OP4K RP is a bit relaxed but here we're trying to be a bit more serious about it... so yeah, try to post everything at once, and use that submission thing or edit in the things your missing when you repost, kay? |

*gomu gomu* Name: Seo Age: 17 Gender: Male Distinguishing Marks: Small Black tattoo on forehead Family: No siblings, mother is dead, Father is a high ranking Marine Likes: Zoning out watching clouds, Competition Dislikes: Boredom, Annoying people Fav. Saying: Hobbies: Martial arts, Poetry Physical Weaknesses: Tattoo on is forehead, if struck, will ignite in pain Physical Strengths: Practices Muay Thai often, giving him advanced reflexes and strength. Devil fruit: Kage Kage fruit. Allows him to use his shadow as an attack. His starting abilities will be: Shadow Bend... his shadow stretches out and the shadows hand shoots out and attempts to slice the target with its nails. Chaos: The shadow will shoot up under Seo's feet launching him into the air, than the shadow and Seo will began attacking from land and air in fast intervals. Weapon: Two Sai's Dream: Get rid of his devil fruit and end the curse upon him. Physical Description: Green eyes with light green wavy hair. He is about 6'2 weights about 120 pounds and likes to wear green Dusters. Personality: a nice guy but can get angry over annoying people or when people try and talk to him in the mourning. History: He was born in a large city where his dad worked as a marine. Since his father didn't come home till very late, Seo could get away with just about anything and he would wonder the city looking for things to do. One day Seo witnessed a strange man with the ability to control smoke yell at his dad about how to run the city. His father took it stoically but as soon as the man left his father spit at the door and sat next to his son. He explained to him that people with devil fruits were just weaklings who couldn't even manage to gain rank, let alone fight, without resorting back to the power of that damn fruit. His father hated Devil fruits and when he became a higher up in the marines, he would definitely make Devil fruits outlawed. Life went very well for him for a long time till he hit his fourteenth birthday. To celebrate his father had taken off work and brought him to a carnival. They had fun on the rides and games but before they went home Seo wanted to visit the fortune teller. His dad, being a strong disbeliever in it, said that he could go by himself and meet him back home. So Seo ran inside to greet the gypsy. She was an old women. With long curly black hair and a strange slur in her accent. She waved her finger at him and told him to sit down while she went into a trance. She flickered her eyes and soon was humming loudly and swaying her body. Seo, though fascinated, couldn't keep his eyes of a golden chest in the corner of the caravan. Quickly he ran over to it and snapped it open. Inside was a strange fruit. He didn't understand why she would hide it so he grabbed it and gobbled it down and ran back to his seat. The gypsy stopped humming and stood up slowly and than began muttering something. Seos forehead exploded in pain and he fell down. The gypsy laughed in joy saying something about how the curse would bring him the hell she had lasted through all her life. As his eyes widened in shock the whole circus seemed to disappear in front of his eyes and he was left alone in the empty field. It wasn't long before he found out that he could control his shadow and his father learned to and quickly cast him out of the house. With no where to run to, Seo went to the docks and joined a crew leaving behind his friends and father. Though life was tough he enjoyed it. On one unfortunate day he was sent off his boat to scout out ahead but when he came back, to his utter shock, his crew was gone. Confused and alone again he drifted away hoping that wherever he landed would be better than what he had done so far with his life....( three years have passed as a cabin boy so Seo is now 17) Writing Sample: Seo was laying down enjoying the sun until all of a sudden a shadow passed over him and he heard a loud roar. Startled he flipped up into an attack stance but before he could even mumble a "kage kage", to attack, Sanji and Luffy began to maul it. At first it looked like an even fight. The monster smacking Luffy, and Sanji and Luffy hitting it back. But within a few seconds it was clear that the tide had turned. The monster, with a strange gurgling sound, fell down to the depths of the sea and Sanji ran to deliver the drink he had prepared for Nami, singing all the way about his heroic deeds. |

Digi-san, did you want the Straw-hats to repost our writing samples here, too, as examples? |

I've felt this way before. The world goes deafeningly silent. I hear my heartbeat thundering in my ears. This must truly be... the brink of death. I hear it. The breath of his steel. A katana follows will... All that's left... is to see if I truly have the power to cut steel. | |

I don't really think that its necessary since only Usopp's avaliable... Oh, and Tek, you CAN'T really get rid of Devil fruits... at least not that we're aware of. I also doubt that Digi's suddenly allowing magic "curses..." Oh, and we AREN'T accepting new submissions till the current story line is over, seeing as we're about to reach the climax. So, these may be looked at, but probably if anyone does so, it will be me, and not Digitaldreamer, since she's still trying to get the Role Play itself back up and running. |

Saiyako what about Sindell?????. While you found the right thread this time, Rebecca, you STILL should be using PMs for this. Saiyoku, please Private Message Tense Rebecca next time you're on, so that she has something to reply to. Rebecaa, look up where your profile and stuff is, and there should be something that says inbox, with a number. The number is how many PMs you haven't read yet in your inbox. If its one or more, I suggest checking it out. Also, stop posting about this everywhere, please. -Duo |

Okay, I made a few adjustments to ouiisshou's description and...here's Ouiisshou's profile, new and improved: Name: Ouiisshou Age:14(will turn 15 in either the next plot or the plot after that. Depends on whether or not the next plot starts before january. I don't like playing charactors younger than me, preferably same-age or older so my charactor is going to just keep getting older, unlike Oda's cannon charactors.) Gender:Male Distinguishing Marks: Um... none in particular except his features Family: died Likes: His brother, drawing sometimes, reading, having a crazy party with friends Dislikes: winey people, people who are disrespectful to tradition and art, being weak, being stupid, traitors Fav. Saying: "There's a difference between a friend and an aquantance: If there were a bullet speeding towards an aquantance I'd do my best to jerk them out of the way but if it were a friend I'd happily throw myself in front of them."(nee...this was before I knew much about Nakama so this quote is sort of incorrect but I don't know how to fix it just yet. Maybe I will edit someday) ; "Will you people stop whining?!?" Hobbies: training, reading Physical Weaknesses: pride, too much emotion or lacktherof, Physical Strengths: His determination, his swords, his loyalty, his honesty(well... just know he wouldn't tell you a lie without a solid reason) Devil fruit: none Weapon: his sword(blue) and his brother's sword(red) Dream: to find true Nakama Physical Description: eye color: dark brown hair color: bluish-greenish black tied back but obviously not very well since it keeps falling out and getting in his face still... height: 5ft 4in weight: Lb clothing: Season 1:A dark red vest thing with sleeve things, a white shirt underneath, baggy jeans, brown zipper shoes, blue obi and thin, black leather belt red wristband on left arm and purple watch on right arm, blue hair-tie. Season 2:A blue tunic/gi thing with a white undershirt cotton gi-like thing. Same black belt. Blue wristband on left arm that matches his tunic/gi thing, metal-modern-art-ish watch on right hand, white japanese socks w/ japanese straw sandals, yellow pony-tail holder w/spikey gold-ish things, white pants(not hakama but baggy, short, but not as short as capris). Personality: Serious(maybe a little too serious about things one shouldn't be serious about?), artistic, dreamer, thinker(but somehow never when it's important), a little wild but still trying to be traditional, emotional History: Ouiishou was born weak and sick, his younger brother, Genjin was born big and strong. Despite thier differences and sometimes, jealousy, they were the best of friends. At this point Ouiisshou's dream was to be an artist. He lived in a village of swordsmiths and swordsman. He wanted to be a swordsman too but his parents didn't have much hope in him. He was much stronger than they hoped he'd be but he was still the weakest of all the boys. He was a bit jealous of his brother. Even though he was younger, Genjin could beat him at a few of the strength games. One day, some soldiers from an enemy kingdom came and killed his family. He and his brother were still alive so they were happy because they cared so deeply about each other. One day, Ouiisshou made a best friend. It was a bit odd because he had never had another friend besides his brother. The three always worked hard togther to survive and those two were the only ones Ouiisshou compleately trusted. The friend, however, was extreemely competitive for Ouiisshou's attention. Ouiisshou, though, always spent much more time with Genjin. One day, when he refused to go to buy supplies at a village with him for the sake of playing ball with his brother, the friend killed the younger brother in a fit of rage. In anger and shock, Ouiisshou killed his friend. At the end he was lying on the ground crying. He deeply regrets both deaths because he believes he could have prevented them. They haunt him now. He swears to become strong, just like his brother. Ouiisshou also has a very hard time completely trusting anyone now because if he couldn't trust his friend that he was most close to, who could one trust. One day, he heard the word "nakama" and what a beautiful word it was! If only he could once again find someone he could trust. When he met Luffy-san-tachi he found himself falling for them and deep inside he knew they were people he could die for. Then he cursed himeself. How could he be trusting people he'd only known for a few days? Writing Sample: The sea monster let out a roar, it’s gigantic snake-like form towering over the Merry Go. Luffy grabbed onto the railing to keep from falling off as the ship rocked violently, gazing up at the beast as his mouth formed a large “O”. ”Wooooooooow, what a big monster! That’s so cool!” The pirate captain cried, hand pressing his straw hat against his head to keep in from blowing away. The beast glared down at him with glowing red eyes. Luffy grinned. “You’re cool, mister sea monster, but I can’t let you eat our ship! Gomu gomu no pistol!” He yelled out, fist stretching up to strike the monster squarely in the nose with the force of a gun shot, knocking it out of the water and miles away. zoro was leaning against the rails of the going merry snoring loudly in his sleep. suddenly a sea king (monster) ramed into the side of the going merry. zoro awoke grumpy and glaring at the monster yelled at it waking him up. having heard his voice the monster dove for zoro with his mouth open. zoro drew his 3 swords placed kuina's sword in his mouth and held the other two one in each hand. he croched down and crossed the two sword over one onother. suddenly he sprang forward at the monster and shouting "oni giri" he uncrossed his swords. zoro sheathed the two swords in his hands and when he put the last one back in its sheath as the sea king fell back into the water. zoro sat down and went back to sleep. Ouiisshou was half reading half dreaming when suddenly, there was a big ROAR!!! A seamonster! The shipped rocked precariously and his swords slid away before he could get his hands on them. He looked up just in time to see Zoro courageously attack the seamonster. <Darn it!> he thought, <Why am I so weak?> "I think you dropped these," Zoro said, handing the red and blue swords to Ouiisshou, "Chibi." I Ouisshou glared icily at Zoro for the last comment and grabbed the two swords. He stalked away. (that was the sample writing. I did go along with Ronozoro's one. I hope that's okay, and it's sort of short too. If you want me to write about him fighting the sea monster like everyone else did, just let me know. Also, I have Zoro acting a little like he's teasing Ouisshou and I dunno, I sort of imagined a tension with two swordsmen constantly within enclosed area of eachother) |

Tense Rebecca's submission has been deleted because she's supposed to be working on her character with Saiyoku, and I still spotted some stuff wrong with that. Please talk to Saiyoku first before posting your character again, to make sure that she's complete, or close to it, and Saiyoku, please PM me before letting her know it's alright to post it, I need to know when her character's either all set, or as close as you can help her get to being all set. |
