Recruitment Drive for One Piece!

Fri · 2:37am

I have a character just for this

. I can't seem to find the PL though.

Arudin might be familiar with my character

Mary Collette Bell, The Solemn Gunslinging Orchestra

Applying for musician/sharpshooter in either crew. Maybe can be the crafter in a pinch.

That is only one of the crews though and that he is a Fishman not Merman

Hmmmm... Would a giant seaweed net do the trick for rescuing hapless devil fruit users? I'm pretty sure the plants made by the devil fruit wouldn't be affected by seawater.

Edit: Or for long falls I can make a boat before they land in the water...

Name: Masti, the Jet
Race: Fishmen (reef squid)

Since an early age Masti was fascinated by humans and their urge to take to the sea, despite their ill suited form. He would often sneak away from his family and friends and head for the surface to look for ships. On odd time he would come across one and just stare at it in wonder.

One day his curiosity was too much for him and he boarded a passing ship, a mistake he would soon regret. Despite his best efforts he was captured and forced to work as a powder monkey. They put a collar on his neck covering his gills and placed a leg weight on him.He was treated poorly by all except by the ships master gunner Roy. He was an old sea ravaged man who only respected people for hard work. He took Masti under his wing training him behind the captains back.

One night, while Masti an Roy stirred the powder, Roy brought up freeing Masti. He was conflicted on one hand he longed for his freedom and on the other he grew accustomed to life on a ship and more so with Roy. Roy would hear non of his protesting. He had made up his mind by the end of the next night Masti would be free.

The night came quickly and Roy had stolen the key. Just as they began undoing the locks the door burst in. It was the captain and his guards. It had been discovered that Roy had stolen the key. Without missing a beat Roy fired off his pistols at the captain but he was too quick he grabbed his guards and used them as a shield. "You Monster!" yelled Roy. The captain picked up Roy by the collar but before he could do anything else Masti threw himself into the captain as hard as he could knocking him down. Roy ran over to a cannon he had been repairing and fired a shot blowing a hole in the hull to the outside. "Go, get out of here!" screamed Roy. "N-not without you, I cant leave y-" but Masti was cut off as Roy charged over and threw Masti overboard. When he surfaced he could see the ship, he hoped with all his might that soon he would see Roy following him. Instead the section of the ship they were in exploded in an eruption of flames. Masti was shocked. Roy must have set fire to the powder. Tears welled up in his eyes, Roy had given his life for him, and it was all over or so he thought. On that calm night the wind picked up and a huge gust came out of no where putting out the fire in an instant. Masti could not believe it nor did he believe what he saw next. In the moonlight he could see a clear defined figure standing on the damaged ship, the captain stared out at him. He stood still a motionless as the ship began to slowly sail away.

Masti never forgot that day. It shaped his life till this day. He devoted himself to the trade of the gunner. He changed from ship to ship looking for the captain that took his mentor away, all the while becoming stronger. One day he would be a master gunner and enact his revenge.

Its a start. I'm running on little sleep at the moment so forgive me if i ramble...alot.

bloodrever, thanks for the Force Field tip! Selective attack does allowe me to choose which targets are affected, but it won't allow me to pile up the cubes for maximum throwing height.

EDIT: I think I'm done with the sheet. Can I use it, even though Blackbeard kind of has a gravity power already?

Mighty fine character LoreForged, but you might be a bit short on limbs to be a proper squid. Was this intentional or an oversight?

Also, I understand that you were asking for 12 players, does this include the 6 starting amount or was it 12 additional?

Edit: Also, while my character could theoretically fill a shipwright spot in the Pinstripe Pirates, I'm liking the Virtuoso Pirates a bit better, because the idea of leaving every island in ecological ruins after we leave, between the weather control and overgrowth of non-native and possibly hazardous plant life amuses me oh so very much. That and the character is more of a doctor then shipwright, as while he has enough skill to whip up a fully functional galleon as a standard action without too much trouble, it would still be a sub-standard (no apologies for the pun) ship. I'm not really worried, the only other doctor applicant's concept has been nixed so if no one else applies in that spot I'm nearly assured to secure it.

I'd happily join up with either crew, but I get the feeling that Zini's carnival suits would horribly clash with the sharp (I'm assuming) looks of the Pinstripe Pirates. A few of said suits have stripes, if that helps :P

Also, I've edited his app to add his goals, and a tweak to the backstory so the crew can come to him and not vice-versa.

If anyone's interested in looking at my sheet here it is, it's almost done, just need to fill in his minion list. I know I'm not privy to the creation details just yet, but it's PL 10 and anything more exotic about the guidelines can be changed. If anyone spots an error or just something I may of forgotten to include, please say something.

I'm thinking that the +20 toughness modifier is a bit much, despite the zero defense. What do you guys say? Should I swap the defensive roll for some dodge focus?

Bango Shank · Nov 24 '10, 11:31am

I'm sure you have enough applications at this point, but I honestly couldn't help myself with this one. I've had this character in mind for a long time and felt compelled to post it after reading Fri's description of Mary Collette Bell, The Solemn Gunslinging Orchestra. I was rather stunned to see a lot of my ideas reflected in that character.

Trittiak, the Gun-Man

The connection between this character and Fri's Mary Bell is the fact that the entire character was designed around a single idea: the phrase "Shotgun Opera". The end result was that all of his attacks are named after the weapon he creates and a musical term of some kind. Examples of which are: Shotgun opera, Pistol note, and Sniper Lyric. I just thought it was a little strange to see similar ideas in different characters... perhaps there's some subconscious connection between firearms and music...

Huh. Yeah, that's exactly my idea as well, naming all of her attack after weapons and musical term of some kind. I guess we received our idea from the same wavelength.
