Recruitment Drive for One Piece!

I will never allow you to have that many copies of yourself especially for all them to be heroic or otherwise. Also, I only have a general idea of what Tough and Strong body do and I think that's Protection. Furthermore, the Pinstripes are not looking for a general ass kicker. We got plenty of ass kicking to go around.

Finally, just because you're the only application for a position doesn't mean you automatically get it. Just like in real life, you might not be what the company is looking for.

No, they wouldn't. He immidetaly loose all his powers as soon as he is submerged in water and not be able to move.

Got it thanks.

I'll go with a fellow by the name of Eric "Halfhand" Wright, aged pirate endeavouring to make a comeback.

Eric was, some time ago, a pirate of some reasonable renown. Having considered a law abiding life he concluded it would be easy, simple and worst of all boring, as such he opted for something more on the outside of the law. Never on the level of those people who made their way into the Grand Line he nevertheless dreamed of one day achieving those heady heights. With this goal in mind he joined up with a crew of ambitious, if less than intelligent, pirates and together they adopted the moniker of the Scarfed Pirates after their captains fondness for that garment. Very much pirates more interested in adventure than profit they cut a chaotic path across the seas of East Blue, confident in their own skills and their apparant invincibility, goading Marines and opposing pirate crews alike as the Grand Line seemed to come ever closer.
Until they actually ran into a competent crew of pirates.
The Scarfed Pirates were wiped out mere hours before reaching their destination, their ship shattered and most of the crew killed by a swift but effective attack from another group who believed in weeding out potential opposition early. Eric's last sight before he went beneath the waves was a pirate flag with a stylised octopus errupting from the skull, flying high over the ship that had been responsible for killing most of his friends.
Heavily injured he was at the mercy of the tides and eventually washed up on an island a good distance from the fight. He might have died were it not for the sympathy of a passing farmer who took him in. That man and his family helped nurse Eric back to health, never once questioning how he had ended up with those wounds. As far as they were concerned that was his business.
When he recovered Eric was unilling to leave without repaying his hosts so settled down to work for them despite protests that he owed them nothing. For a full year he worked, and for the first time Eric saw what the boring life he had left behind might actually be like, and as it turned out it was nowhere near as bad as he might have thought. When the year was done he remained, taking the island as his home and putting aside his previous dreams and ambitions.
For the next few decades Eric remained here, making a life for himself. He settled down, made a home, married and even had children. He was content with this life and though occasionally his gaze went to the sea and remembered what had once been his goal he never regretted abandoning it.
All this changed one day when, returning from market, Eric saw smoke rising from the village where he had made his home. Recognising the signs of fire he rushed onwards, assuming that there had been an accident. However when he arrived it was clear that this was no accident. Bodies lay scattered around, homes had been shattered by impacts and the fires that burned had quite clearly been set. Though there were some survivors around his focus was entirely upon his own home, which he ran towards uncaring of anyone else. When he entered his worst fear was confirmed, his wife lay dead, killed by a stray shot from the looks of things.
When he emerged from the building Eric's years of peace were left behind. Questioning the survivors he found that the attackers had been pirates, seemingly on their way out of the Blue and on towards fresher seas and waves new. Only one place they could be heading in his mind, the Grand Line.
Eric returned to his life of piracy with the theft of a boat and has not looked back since. Even the thoughts of his children and even grandchildren left behind have yet to distract him. Though his obvious rage has died down Eric is deeply and determindly fixated on the idea of finding his wife's killers and ensuring every last one of them is gutted like pigs and swung from their own rigging.

In terms of roles I will fill I see him as having a degree of jack of all trades, master of none. Alternatively could go into the shipwright side of things if we lack that. Combat wise will be up close and vicious.

By the by SilverLeaf you do know Progressions for that would have to be taken more than once for that many duplicates right?

Hey Zeone you never really answered me way back.....Also what do you exactly need for the small crew.

zeone3000 · 4:38pm

*Goes back to look*

You really didn't ask me a question, just gave an idea for a concept. Oh, if you meant for me to ask if the crew need/wanted a spy type, the Pinstripes do not. You'll have to run that by Ree (Jedichrono).

As to what the crew needs I believe my Co-GM did a good job explaining that.

The Pinstripes do need a navigator.

Kara · Nov 25 '10, 4:40pm

Alright I guess I could make a cook ....dont know what a shipwright is though. I didnt exactly know who Bloodrever was since there are so many pages its hard to read them all XP

bloodrever · Nov 25 '10, 4:46pm

If you want a spy type then you will need to make sure he has some other skill set that the crew needs. Navigator would work since a spy would need to be able to navigate to where ever he is going. Shipwright if he wants to pass himself off as a simple shipwright. Cook if he spies on people as their cook. You get the idea.

Kara · Nov 25 '10, 5:12pm

hmm well it all depends I wouldnt mind being a navigator or a cook......my character wont have had any gum gum fruit and um im going to play my gender XP so wont be a he

Sorry to call this out, but come on, it's One Piece. The manga where the power that lets you PUSH THINGS is an incredibly deadly ability. The setting where becoming a giraffe-man makes you significantly more dangerous.

Making downright silly powers kick rear end is kinda the point.

It is also because that giraffe man know's one of the most deadly styles in One Piece.
