Game Description

It's been nearly 100 years since the last Pirate King ruled the Seas, Straw Hat Luffy had surprised everyone by sailing directly into the Grand Line. More importantly, they were shocked and awed as year by year he managed to fight his way through every obstacle until finally he took possession of the One Piece and shattered the Navy into a dozen different organizations, each weaker than the last. This inevitably led to a new Pirate Age, which came to a sudden and drastic end when the Marine Commander Coby united the Navy after Luffy's death. No one really knows what happened to Straw Hat's crew, they simply disappeared, it's been 90 years since that time and mysteries are being solved...

100 years before Straw Hat Luffy declared himself the King of the Pirates...A few days ago, he came back. The world was shocked at the announcement, but Straw Hat Luffy with each member of his crew were there, all wearing black trench coats. Luffy declared it was time to end this Age of Evil, he and each member of his Crew would take the spots once held by the Warlords of the Sea. None of them is anything like they were described in the history books, so this begs the question, what is going on?!?

Shortly after that first announcement by Luffy, a message was heard around the world from a shadowy figure that appeared on the TV and in the news. The figure announced that this was not the Real Luffy, that the One Piece had been returned to it's place, and only after it's been found can this impostor be brought to an end. The idea that the One Piece had been returned to the world, the thought of a chance at Straw Hat Luffy...These things have inspired a new generation of Pirates and Criminals around the world. It's time for a new Pirate Age, where will you be for this age?

Character CreationPlayer's Information
-We are using the One Piece D20 rules, but heavily modified.

-All Characters will begin at Level 5.

-All Characters count as "Pirates" as a Career. I will be removing the Admiral and Yonkou Prestige Careers, they will instead simply be Titles you can gain In-Game. Players are highly encouraged to consider creating new Prestige Classes/Careers that fit them.(Unless an existing one already does. )

-You do not begin with any Beli, instead, simply propose to me what you would like to begin the game with and I will approve or deny the requests. I warn you, go over-board and I'm likely to be far less generous.

-Characters will begin with 24 Points to spend on Attributes, but at least one must begin the game below 10 and can never be raised over 10. Look at the Attribute your fellow players are keeping low, because I won't let everyone have the same ones.

-This will be a Crew. While I'm perfectly fine with rivalries, your character's personalities should be designed with loyalty to the crew as paramount.(Though how they view this loyalty can be colored. Nami and her love of Beli is a good example.)

-All Characters will begin with 5 Feats to use on any Feats they qualify for. Anything outside Career, Class and General Feats you must ask permission before you may take them.(This is NOT saying you can't have them.)

-At Level 10, every PC will be allowed to choose one non-Conqueror's Haki Feat and gain it for free. At Level 15, every PC will gain the 2nd one.

-PCs gain a bonus Feat every 2 levels instead of every 3.(Level 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and a final bonus Feat at level 20)

-All Characters must choose a "Combat Style" that best represents their character, this Combat Style will then be made into a series of 10 Feats and a Stance. All Characters will begin with a Stance Feat at 1st Level, every even level thereafter they gain an additional Style Feat. This Combat Style may be a Devil Fruit Power, a Weapon, or simply Martial Arts.(Level 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc.)

-Characters may be in as many Stances as they wish, but only ever 1 of each type.(1 Class, 1 Career, 1 "Special" and 1 "General")

-Devil Fruit User is purchased as normal, without the Feat you cannot have Combat Style Feats based on a Devil Fruit. Devil Fruit Feats will be measured in strength/use on regular Feats, if you wish to have Combat Powers with your Devil Fruit, you must use your Combat Style Feats to do so. Logia-Types are not allowed. Remember, Devil Fruit Feats are purchased as normal, there is no free Feats except your Combat Style Feats.

-Acceptance of Applications will be primarily based on what is needed in the story at the time. Careers are important for this reason.

-Certain Races will be given bonuses as they are VASTLY under-powered compared to other Races. So if you are interested in one, but passing on it because you're worried it's weak, talk to me first.(For example Longarm/Longleg Tribe)

-Hide and Move Silently will be combined to make "Stealth".

-All Characters must offer a short story, minimum 2 paragraphs, that is a summary of the adventure resulting in them joining the crew. When a crew is selected, I will choose the order the crew was made and everyone in the crew before you will add to your summary. They will, however, take support roles. In the story of joining the crew YOU are the star.

-If you have Questions or Comments, either ask in the appropriate Thread or PM me.
