@gimmepie- I agree with Raikiri. The SU is great, you're accepted! I'll add your character to the database. Good progress so far, guys! We'll probably be able to start when we get around 4 good sign ups, but we'll keep it open to more who want to be apart of the RP.

So, here we go. I'm a One Piece noob, self admitted even! I'm done as it stands now. Let me know if anything needs changing or tweaking. Thanks! <3

Name: Zane, Zoe

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Epithet/Nickname: Skydiver (Mostly just Sky for short.)

Appearance:
Spoiler:


Personality: Feisty, spunky and naive, Zoe is the perfect human embodiment of a volatile substance. Ready to blow at any moment and bubbling with excitement, she was often nicknamed "Powder Keg" as a child. Being relatively young as such careers go, Zoe is rash, daring and often times, careless. She's constantly biting off more than she can chew and that goes for both sets of her mouths.

Of course, nobody can be defined by such few words. While yes, she is all those things and more, Zoe is kind, and often times a bit soft for a pirate. She likes to have a strict code: "Only steal from those who can afford to lose it." In her mind, if you've got too much, then some of it ought to be hers. It is this moral code that she thinks separates her from the rest.

When not in public, or around her prized parrot, Jabbers, a whole different side comes out. While she plays hard, she also crashes hard. Wound up from a busy day of keeping up appearances, she will curl up and go practically comatose for hours on end in her bunk. Many a people could regal others with stories of her rambunctious sleep talking that could be heard through walls. Some say this is when people really see her spunkiness shine.

Above maybe all things, she is ambitious. While she can follow the lead of a respectable Captain, she one day longs to call the shots for a crew of her own. Adventurous to a fault, there's not a speck on the map that she doesn't want to explore and chart one day on her own. Once she's made up her mind, there's a good chance she's going to follow through and most likely, be successful.

While not the sharpest tool in the shed academically, she is far from stupid and gets by more on street smarts and 'beat on it until it works mentality'.

All in all, she's fun, carefree and more than willing to drink a man under the table if she is given the chance. Maybe her greatest weakness is also her greater desire, respect. She yearns for it and almost craves it. Respect is everything to her and if she doesn't have it, you might as well clip her wings.

History: Born and raised in Loguetown, Zoe always thought of herself as having a close tie to the pirate world. Never having much Belly to her name, her physical belly was always quite empty. Her parents did the best they could of course, working long hours, trying to make every piece of food stretch, but they just couldn't keep up.

Eventually, when she was about five, her mother left her father and ran off with a much wealthier man. Zoe saw how much this affected her father and how it stabbed at his heart. Many say you can't remember things from so far back, but Zoe begs to differ. What started out as a bad situation got even worse. Food once scant but consistent, now practically vanished. Malnourished and increasingly unhealthy, she was rescued and cursed at the same time. Two kind women of some religious order convinced her father to let them take her away. They did this under the promise of feeding her, teaching her and giving her a job with the lord when she was old enough. To a starving child, this all sounds very good, but there's still not a day where she doesn't remember the sad look on her father's face as she was given away. Was it love or regret that caused him to let her go? She still likes to think it was love.

For the longest time, she only knew the world of these religious women. Studying, cleaning and most important of all, eating. Was it lavish? No, certainly not. But from the world she came from, it was heaven, literally and figuratively. Life was good for the first time ever, but lonely. She carried on this way for many years, fully content for what lay ahead of her.

Around fourteen, that all changed. One night, after coming in from her daily chores, she approached the alter to pray and get ready for bed. A soft weeping sound drew her attention to the back of the hall as she prepared to leave. Cautiously opening the door to the back, she found one of the lead men taking advantage of one of her fellow sisters. The girl couldn't have been more than ten years old at the time. Charging into the room and shoving the man as hard as she could muster, he went flying and knocked his head against the desk, his head cracking instantly and killing him. Looking down at his crumpled body in horror, Zoe couldn't believe what he had done, or what she herself had in retaliation for the other girl.

Without a moments thought, she ran, as far and as long as she could. She still never knew if they came looking for her since that incident. Of course, the assumption was that somebody had to have been looking, but there were so many children coming in and out, that a scrawny little girl gone missing wouldn't have been unusual.

Alone and poor, there was little else that an unskilled fourteen year old could turn to. Living on the streets of Loguetown, her father nowhere in sight, she began to learn how to steal and lie her way into getting what she wanted. One particular little thing she loved, was to cheat people at cards and rob them while they were none the wiser. These were all things she picked up from the traveling pirates who visited. They happened to take a shine to her while in port, her spunk winning them over after prolonged exposure.

If wasn't until one night, about a year ago, making her seventeen, she heard of something she just had to check out. Somebody was bringing in a rare shipment of some kind, she didn't really know after catching mention of a Devil Fruit. That, she knew about. How couldn't she? Pirates had been telling her tales and letting secrets slips for as long as she had been around them. These fruit had powers, the power to change lives and give their powers to others. Zoe liked the sound of that in every way imaginable.

Making her move in the twilight hours, she boarded the waiting ship, her small frame helping her hide in the lingering shadows. Quietly making her way down to the hold, and spending nerve-racking minutes picking the lock, she opened the chest and found her prize. Stuffing it in a bag and quickly vanishing once more into the dark, she took it back to a secluded spot and just stared at it for hours. She was afraid, unsure of actually what to do with it. With the name being a fruit and legends she heard, she thought it best to eat it. She did.

It took a while for her to notice what it actually was this particular fruit had gifted her, but it was evident soon enough. Transforming almost against her will, she sprouted an elongated body and a tail, her shape becoming completely unrecognizable. This new body seemed powerful and quick, built for flight and drawn to it. With a magnificent leap and burning passion, she took to the air and unceremoniously crashed instantly.

It took her many days and weeks to master her new body, small as it was for a legendary dragon. Now changing on command, she was determined this was her future; this would be her namesake. Stealing became easy when you could just fly away, her victims screaming after a creature they had no idea what it was. It was this way that she avoided bounties, but also how she lacked reputation. Deciding it was time for that to change, she knew what she had to do. Piracy was the answer, she even bought a parrot to look the part. Everything up until now was small time, if she wanted respect, it was time to earn it.

Devil Fruit/Equipment/Weapon: Tatsu Tatsu no Mi [Mythical Zoan Fruit] - This is what allows Zoe to transform in what is considered by many, to be a small Dragon. This dragon [Image in Appearance section] stands just over the height of the average human male, her full transformed height being 7 feet. When transformed, she is agile, capable of flight and manipulates gusts of air with her mouth.

In human form, she uses a light rapier attached to her left hip. She is a passable fencer, certainly not the best. If anything, she'd rather sneak up on a person and stab them in the back. She doesn't like fair fights.

Goal/Dream: To be the captain of her own ship, sail the entire world and collect a mountain of shiny things to sleep on. Curious that the last one is more pressing when she's a dragon though….

Other/Quirks: Is a stupidly loud sleep talker, during which she has a tendency to spill secrets. Loves to play cards especially when she's winning. Is a good cook and enjoys doing so, having learned under the sisters.

Current Bounty: None​

FINISHED! if anything is wrong with it please tell me.

Name: Sinbad

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Epithet/Nickname: The Seven Deadly Sins (geddit, Sinbad, SIN bad.)

Appearance + Bounty: SInbad has tan skin and an average build. He has golden eyes and long, purple hair tied back into a ponytail. He wears purple and white robes

n7d3g4Q.jpg


Personality: Sinbad is a laid back and fun-loving person. He can be quite a flirt and is not above using his charm to get what he wants. Despite all this, he can be serious when the need arises. Though he does altruistic deeds for other people seemingly without thanks, he secretly does them for his own gain, ulterior motives in a nutshell. Sinbad also has a love for eating new foods no matter what they are made of. He has always been very cunning but since birth he has tried his hardest to earn an honest living.

History: Sinbad was born on a faraway island where his parents were notorious thieves. They taught him that he should aspire to be something great in the world and not follow in his parents ways. As a child he aspired to become a famous pirate and gain enough wealth to buy an island and set up a township there where everyone can live and be happy. At the age of 7 Sinbad's parents and their fellow thieves had been arrested for thievery and lollygagging, the judge sentenced them to death. Sinbad shattered by the news of his parents fate took all the wealth they had left him and bought himself a one way ticket out of the island. Along his journeys he met interesting people with stories to tell, some poor, some rich but they all had a dream some had already accomplished it some hadn't. Sinbad also "purchased" a sword for him to use if the time ever came where he might have to defend himself. At the age of 14 Sinbad had ran into a dead end, no more money left and none of the ships could leave port due to dangerous weather. With a hungry stomach Sinbad decided to shake someone down for money. The person he decided to mug happened to fight back and so Sinbad was left running on a wild chase through the city, before long his pursuer had stopped following him. With one option left Sinbad robbed a bakery for food where the bakery man also fought back and chased him but lucky for Sinbad it began to rain, heavily, the Bakery man fled back to his bakery before anymore children decided to chase him down. Sinbad was left yet again alone after the weather had cleared up he jumped onto the next ship heading anywhere, as a stowaway of course we don't want plot holes. After 3 years of looking for odd jobs to do such as polishing cutlery and whatnot, he found himself in Loguetown where our adventure begins.

Weapon: A generic Scimitar at the moment.

Goal/Dream:

Other/Quirks:
- Likes fire.
- Takes clothes of when he sleeps.
- Will eat anything.

Charges:
-Assault
-Theft of
---Bread
---Sword

@Perplexity- Very interesting character. Raikiri should be fine with her too, so: Accepted! I'll add her into the database. By the way, Devil Fruits typically are named something along the lines of what they're related to, and by repeating the words twice, typically in Japanese. Though no Dragon Zoans were announced in One Piece as of yet, I'm thinking of calling it 'Tatsu Tatsu no Mi', or the Dragon-Dragon Fruit. Let me know if that works for you!

This works out quite well now, as now we technically have a cook and a shipwright for the crew, even if they're not official titles. xD

@gimmepie- Oh yeah, that's right! So that means really a good portion of the usual positions are filled up, except maybe navigator, but I like the group we're coming up with so far!

Hayden Vance | Loguetown



Name: Hayden Vance

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Epithet/Nickname: The Viper

Appearance:
http://th08.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2012/360/a/4/spring_overcast_by_procerdecrepusculum-d5pacj7.jpg
( Whenever he goes into a battle, he smoothes his sleeves down to his wrists and he also enjoys wearing darkish brown gloves to get a better grip on the ropes. )

Personality: Vance is an odd mix of willpower and a devastating ignorance of his, as he sees them 'Neccesary but boring duties'. He'll work hard at training and practicing his techniques, or performing a favour for someone, but if another person comes along and mentions something like "Dinner" or "Go fishing" or, heaven forbid, "Party", it's as if he completely forgets what he was supposed to do and decides that it can be done at a later time, and that there are more important things to be done with his time.

He does, however, have his limits, and if he knows that someone is entrusting him with something very important, he'll do what he can to pull through and prove that the trust put in him was well-placed. He's a cheerful, easily-affected young guy that enjoys relaxing, most likely due to the pressure put on him and the high hopes for him during his childhood, which is a hard thing to cast away and simply forget about. This doesn't mean he isn't intelligent, however, as he was actually among the top students of his class, mainly in regards to meteorology and navigation. He simply prefers to take it easy and enjoy himself.

History: Brought up in a kingdom on the Grand Line, Vance had a hard start to his life, as his father, a marine captain, was shifting between being home and working, but his mother was always someone for Vance to lean against, no matter how hard his father pressed him. Even when his father was home, Vance didn't have it easy, as his father wanted him to follow in his footsteps and become a marine himself, especially in the face of the king of pirates, Morris D. Rallo, controlling more and more of the ocean.

About five years ago, however, after Vance had gotten home from his daily training under his father, his mother had disappeared. Several people swore that they had seen pirates take her away, and his father vowed to get revenge on whoever did it, in the name of justice. A few months went by, and when his father arrived back home, he was sad to announce that his mother had disappeared for good. She was most likely dead. This struck Vance very hard, as he loved his mother to bits, and the loss of her hurt him greatly.

To try and make his son forget about the loss of his mother, his father took Vance away from the kingdom, to an island in the north blue to live, partially so he could focus alot more on his training of becoming the best marine captain he could be.

As such, Vance's recent life has been full of studying, combat training and very little room for stopping to smell the flowers of the rocky, mountainous island he spent the last couple of years living on. Despite the tough training from early on, Vance couldn't invest himself entirely into the thought of living life as a marine soldier. He'd heard stories about the world outside of his island from his father's crewmates when they docked in the little harbour of the island, about entire islands partying for days on end, islands of dinosaurs, of eternal snow, of wide-spanning, grassy fields with peculiar, strange animals roaming across it. He respected and loved his father too much to tell him that he didn't want to be a marine, that he'd much rather be an adventurer, a traveller, so Vance continued his training, getting progressively more strong and clever as he grew up.

Eight days ago, however, Vance received a letter via a seagull. It had a red seal on its front, in the shape of a diamond and as he opened it and saw the handwriting, his eyes widened. It was a letter from his mother. He hadn't even read it yet, but he wanted to give his father the good news, so he hurried inside of the house to tell him the news, but after the man had read through it, he tore it up and threw the pieces into the fireplace, much to Vance's horror. He placed his hands on his son's shoulders and stared into his eyes. "Your mother is dead. She'll never return and this is just some ploy to kill me and you as well. Don't fall for it, son."

Vance wasn't convinced though, and from the information he had gotten in the letter, he knew what he had to do. He gathered his belongings and 'borrowed' a few thousand belly and a small boat docked in the little harbour before setting off to Loguetown. He was going to go witness the death of the pirate king's first mate on his own.

Devil Fruit/Equipment/Weapon: Having grown up as the son of a marine man, Vance was trained in the arts of Rokushiki and thus, has learned a few of the techniques. He has full control over Rankyaku, Soru and Shigan and he's still working on learning to use the remaining ones. Vance usually adapts in his fights, using, usually at least, long lengths of rope to propel himself around the battlefield. Said ropes seemingly just coming from inside his sleeves, possibly wrapped around his arms or torso. He much prefers his hand-to-hand martial arts combat, utilizing a mixture of punches, kicks, chops and the like. His fighting style is seemingly to deliver many smaller blows to wear down his opponent, even if his attacks on their own are still fairly strong.

Goal/Dream: Sailing and seeing the wonders of the world, finding out what happened to his mother and where she is.

Other/Quirks:
Vance is a very decent fighter and could easily hold his own thanks to his early training. However, if there's an opponent he deems too strong for himself or those he's fighting with, or they are planning to fight, he'd prefer a hasty retreat, and, in general, just to avoid fighting if possible.

He adores coffee of all shapes and sizes, but much favors ice coffee and will do quite a lot to get a hold of a glass or a cup of his favourite beverage.

Gambling is also a bit of an addiction of his, as he enjoys the thrill of seeing if he'll have lady luck on his side or not, it doesn't even have to be a big bet, but something needs to be at stake.

Current Bounty: 0

Sir Bastian is accepted! And with that, we have enough to get started. Supervegeta and I will get started on the IC thread. That being said, sign ups will remain open for quite some time as pirate crews are always expanding. So keep them coming.

We will officially start hopefully within the next day or two.

EDIT: Sir Bastian's character has been added to the database as well.

Name: Bass
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Epithet/Nickname: Midnight

Appearance: http://s781.photobucket.com/user/Abdul_Swiftwing/media/Bass_zps908b2f48.jpg.html
Bass is quite the odd specimen for most people. Being only 16 he is shorter than most adults, coming up only to a grown male's shoulders. His entire body is covered with a coat of black fur that helps him blend into darkness. His ears are larger and sensitive to noise, especially noises that are high pitched in frequency such as whistles. His nose is flat and allows him to smell where blood is. His eyes are colored a blood red that shine a bit in the light depending on if light hits them or not. His mouth posses rather sharp teeth in order to be able to bite into skin and drink blood.

His upper body is what will usually draw the eyes first. From his shoulders to his elbows his arms look like a normal human's arms, but from his elbows to his wrists his arms become far smaller until finally the place where his hands should be there are only thumb hooks. Attached along his arms are wings and the wings likewise are attached from his armpits and all the way down to his waist. Due to needing to flap his arms to fly around his chest and biceps are very muscular. His stomach likewise has no traces of body fat on it, mainly due to his diet and his constant need to fly about.

His lower body consists of muscular legs along with feet with four claws on each foot. Three claws are situated in front of his feet while is last claw is position on his heel. The claws are long in order to help him grip onto surfaces whenever he sleeps. Due to his lack of hands he had been forced to use his feet to accomplish a majority of tasks by using his toes. His legs are strong enough to carry a full-grown man up into the air for at a few minutes.

Currently Bass wears a black shirt that has had its side ripped open to allow his wings to pass through. He also wears a pair of black shorts that end at his knees. To complete the look he wears a red cloak with a hood that covers his body.

Personality: Despite becoming the creature he is now, Bass has a kind and often naïve outlook on life. He knows better than most that no one should be judged by their appearance and so Bass often tries to make friends with others even if they are deemed ugly by society. Yet, at the same time he knows he cannot be close to them all the time. Due to the compulsion forced on him by his natural instincts he tries as hard as he can to drink blood from animals only, however with such a practice in mind he will go hungry every so often and thus try to stay away from friends so that he cannot harm them when he enters his blood lust state.

The irony also lies with his blood drinking. Even with good friends he can't bring himself to tell them that he stoops to drinking blood from others and so he will often come up with a variety of excuses as to why at certain times he has to be alone or why he has to go off somewhere. Whenever the early stages of his blood lust kicks in, he will often fly off without warning until he sates his need.

Due to being young Bass has an eagerness to be helpful in any way. If it would give him a purpose to his life other than constantly running away from the authorities then he's all for it.

History:Bass wasn't always the creature he is now, originally he was a simple vampire bat that lived in the forest. Every so often he would feed off of other creatures and that was life. It was simple and he likewise was very simple minded. One day when he exited the cave though he came upon a strange sight. A tree had grown a strange fruit that hung from a branch. As he approached closer he saw that it was larger than other fruit and in fact there was a bird there about to dine on the fruit. He was too ambitious at the moment and flew at the bird while attempting to bit into it.

The bird managed to fly off and Bass' teeth instead sunk into the fruit. As soon as he tasted it though, a bitterness hit his tongue and for several minutes he tried to work his teeth away from the berry, but only caused more juice to go down his throat. Almost immediately the bat began to change. His whole body grew larger, he gained legs with far sharper claws, and his brain likewise expanded. In an instant language and thoughts entered his mind and he truly thought for the first time in his life.

He awoke later the next day with a keen understanding of who he was, but not why he was like this now. For two days he experimented with his new body and flew around the forest without a care in the world. During that time however he felt rather sick. He had gotten a massive headache and he felt weak to his bones. Finally he blacked out only to awaken near two dead humans who had been drained of their blood.

It was then that it hit him that not only had he grown larger… but his need for blood had grown with him as well. If he tried to stop feeding, he would very well kill others around him to get his blood intake. With that known he adopted a strategy of taking in blood nightly to avoid the repercussions of having no blood. Eventually he heard of a human village nearby and went in to steal some clothes at night.

Unfortunately someone caught sight of him and thus the tale of Midnight began to circulate. Tales sprung up of a beast that flew in the night and swooped down on innocents to drain them of blood, and it didn't help that his blood lust would start up every so often and force him to land in a human town to satisfy his hunger. He finally decided on simply abandoning this part of the forest and headed for a coast town with the belief that he could find someone there that would be able to find a solution to his dilemma.

Devil Fruit/Equipment/Weapon: Hito Hito no Mi: The Hito Hito no Mi turns those that eat it into a human like creatures. Despite the obvious booms of being able to speak and being able to think intelligently, the disadvantage quickly built up. For one, Bass gained the extreme need to drink blood. If he doesn't drink blood for some time then he enters the stages of what he calls blood lust.

Stage 1: Bass becomes a bit weary. At the beginning this stage can be confused for falling ill from sort of disease. Bass will sleep longer than usual and feel a increased need to drink blood. Happens after 48 hours since his last feeding
Stage 2: Bass will get a light headache and tends to faze out, even while conversing with another. During his sleep he will sleep walk and may fly out to go find a meal. Happens 52 hours since his last feeding.
Stage 3: Bass's eyes will start to glow a light red. He'll shake a bit and twitch as well. Often times he can be caught staring at another, more specifically at their neck while licking his lips. He still has enough will power though to keep himself from biting another though. Happens 65 hours since his last feeding.
Stage 4: Bass will fall into a deep sleep, but once he awakens he will no longer be himself. His eyes glow a deep shade of red and he will no longer speak, instead screeching and snarling at potential prey. Feral instincts kick in and he will often hide in darkness, swooping down at any that approach his territory and will latch onto them. Unlike when he is of sane mind, he will not stop feasting until either a) He is full and his hunger is stated or b) his victim is drained of blood at which point he will seek out more victims until his hunger is sated. Happens after 67 hours since his last feeding

After he is filled he will fall asleep and awake a few hours later with a bit of memory loss of the past two hours.

Goal/Dream: To be viewed as a hero rather than a monster. He figures that if he could become a symbol of hope or become a sort of protector then he could live his life far easier.
Other/Quirks: Likes the color red and whenever he comes upon something that is red he will often try his best to get it. Many times if he has no blood to drink on he will chew on the red objects he has to try and relieve his blood lust if but a bit.
Current Bounty: 600,000. Wanted for Assault, Murder, Trespassing. Bounty is treated as for a creature and not as for a sentient being.

@Greiger- You're accepted! Adding your character to the database now. Looks like we have the Chopper of the group! (link included)

Alright, we're working on getting the IC up soon! But feel free to keep applying if you wish!

@Magic Fox- Alright, sounds good!

Also for your information: Loguetown is one of the few places in One Piece that is actually canon. Most of the other ones we visit will be island we created. Most of the places on Loguetown are the same, other than Gold Roger Bar (which I believe only appears in the anime anyways), which doesn't exist because Gold Roger doesn't exist. xD

Here's a link to the Loguetown wiki to get yourselves familiar with it before we begin:

Hey everyone, just a heads up that the IC has been submitted and is awaiting approval! We've gotten started on this pretty fast! We'll try to explain things to those who don't understand, but if you do have any questions, feel free to ask either myself or Raikiri. Let's get this started!

Here's my SU. I now have plenty of free time, and am watching One Piece at this very moment.

Name: Halberd H. Cloud
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Epithet/Nickname: Alligator (As in Alligator Snapping Turtle)

Appearance:
Spoiler:


Personality:
Cloud is very calm and collected, preferring to be alone more often than not. He's very serious, and has an arid sense of humor, preferring to joke about things one would consider morbid or terrible. Aside from that, he's very cynical, and always looks for the worst in the situation, preferring to look for the worst in people. He hates people who preach about how "Good will always win" or "My path is concealed in darkness" and prefers to pulverize them right then and there. One of Cloud's personal beliefs is that everyone can change their path, no matter who they are. Evil could always win. All they have to do is be stronger than the good guys. And those who are"steeped in evil" could always find something that they love enough to bring them out of it. That is why he has chosen the path of neutrality: He fights for the side that he thinks has the right of the situation. If he thinks his captain has chosen a wrong action, his loyalty will waver. Until that point, though, he will die before his crew comes to harm.

Cloud's quiet personality is generally ever-present. He doesn't like talking, and views it as tedious and time-consuming. He prefers to communicate through quiet nods of the head, or gestures, although he will talk when he feels it is appropriate, like when the opportunity to tell one of his legendary jokes arises, or to tell off a person he feels is being unreasonable. He is very intelligent, although he prefers not to show that side, or even use it. Cloud views himself as a fighter, not a thinker, a follower, not a leader, and therefore follows the captain's orders to a T, despite the flaws.

In battle, Cloud has a ferocious tenacity. He fights with everything he has. His strength was boosted when he ate the Kame Kame Fruit so he could bear the weight of the shell on his back, so his punches can snap a mast in half. At full strength, which will be when he can remove his shell...His potential is great. But he prefers to fight passively aggressive if that makes any sense. He uses his shell as a weapon, not just a defense. His cutlass makes him a deadly force, but their are some flaws with his strategy. He is reckless and brutal, and can be goaded into charging ahead without a thought, other than to destroy the aggressor.

History:
Cloud was born in Water 7, and grew up learning that pirates were a thing to be feared, seeing as his parents were once crew members on a merchant ship that had been raided, but they had also told him that eating meat was a way to destroy one's body. After a few years, he became an apprentice to a shipwright. Although his parents thought that was very noble of him, but he didn't like the trade. Not only that, but he was terrible at it. He tried as hard as he could to make it past apprenticeship, but he never showed the talent that was required. One night, he sneaked out to build a ship in order to impress his master, but while he was out, he was kidnapped by pirates. He was, at first, afraid, but after a few moments he realized that they weren't so bad. He began to chat with his captors. They were surprised that their captive wasn't terrified, and began to like the lad. After an hour or so, the captain came down and asked if Cloud wanted to join. He was excited, and took the opportunity with open arms.

Cloud spent four or five years on the crew, and served his captain faithfully, eventually earning his to way to become First Mate. The captured lad enjoyed being a pirate, and hated his parents for telling him that they were vicious, killing monsters. Sure, they had done some illegal thing, but they had never attacked an unarmed ship. They only attacked those under marine command. It installed some strange since of honor in the lad.

They raided a marine fort somewhere out in the middle of the ocean in an attempt to strike a blow at the government, just to show that they were a force to be reckoned with. They easily stormed the walls, and found themselves matched man-for-man on the inside. Fierce fighting broke out, but Cloud avoided the conflict and sneaked away to find the marine's store. After a while of searching he found the mess hall. He was, admittedly, starving and was willing to eat anything: Even the leaf-shaped fruit he found in the cupboard that tasted horrible...kinda like poison. He felt strange, and passed out.

When he awoke the next day, he found everyone dead: The marines AND his crew. A single tear drip from his eye as he found his captain with a sword buried in his chest. Around him lay five dead marines. It was obvious that he had gone down fighting. He found his ship and put each and every crew member on his ship and set it free. He gave his crew the most honorable death he could: A funeral pyre. He turned to find a boat that he could pilot, and found a small rowboat. Cloud piled a armful of fruits and small jerky pieces onto the boat and started to row towards an island. It was easier than it had been before...strangely so. It was only then that he realized that he had the shell of a turtle on his back. When he arrived on the nearest island a week later, he purchased a trench coat to hide his oddity, and made way for Logue Town, in desperate need for a crew. It would take him two months to sail there.

Devil Fruit/Equipment/Weapon:
The Kame Kame Fruit: A devil fruit that gives one a turtle shell across his/her back that is as hard as diamonds. Once it has grown on comfortably, after three or four years or so, the victim has the ability to pull it off and use it as a shield. After a year or so, patches of shells grow along his/her arms and legs, with the exceptions of the knees and arms.

The Terrapin: A massive five foot cutlass that he wields with one hand. It's his favorite gift from his old captain. He only uses it when he feels that his life is in danger.

His fists: Cloud mainly uses his fists, but his ability is devastating. Given his super-human strength, he can snap a thick mast in half with one punch. His style relies more on brute strength than finesse.

Turtle Style: A type of combat that encompasses his shell in combat. This includes the ability to send himself flying like a discus and stop himself at will, or spin on his shell like a top and lash out with all of his limbs.

Goal/Dream: Cloud's one dream is to become as legendary as he possibly can. He wants to be known as a vigilante. Not a hero, but definitely not a villain. Just one who did good things for society.

Other/Quirks:
-Has a VERY dry sense of humor, such as joking about death. (His trademark quirk. He can take it a bit too far sometimes)
-Can withstand an insane amount of pressure on his back, and can even block an entire ship for a few minutes
-Is NOT a fan of sarcasm, and will likely backhand you if you dare to use it on him
-Considers himself a higher-class pirate worthy enough to be on par with the Pirate King, Moras D. Rallo

Current Bounty:36,000,000
-Murder--Arson-
-Thievery--Assault-
-Grand theft naval (He stole a boat)-

@Heretostay:
Glad to see that you are still interested but one thing about your SU: Gol D. Roger doesn't exist in our universe. If you want your character to consider himself top tier in comparison to our "Pirate King" it would be Morris D. Rallo instead. Just keep working on it otherwise and when it's done, SV and I will review it.

Is it possible for us to give a devil fruit to an NPC that won't appear in the RP?

...Well, I guess my question more directly is that I have a character in my History that I want to give a devil fruit (but I have a suitable alternative if they can't have one), and I am wondering if I can give that person one. They're not going to appear in the RP itself, just in the history.
