RECRUITMENT POST FOR ONE PIECE VALOR

[lesyay]

There once was a man named Gold Roger, whose infamy earned him the title of Pirate King. He lived the ideal life of a pirate, right up until his execution. Even there, he smiled. "The Age of Pirates is just beginning. One Piece awaits at the end of the Grand Line, and whoever finds it will find everything the world has to offer."

It's truly the golden age of piracy now, as his words inspired countless pirates to take to the seas in search of fame, wealth, and power.

This is Gold Roger's legacy. Where do you fit in?


SYSTEM

One Piece Valor will be run in the Valor roleplay system. It's grid based combat with flexible character creation, focusing on anime style combat and rewarding good roleplaying. A pdf will be provided for purposes of playing the game if you don't have the system (you should buy it though it's great.)


OVERVIEW

I'll be looking for five players to play as good natured pirates, seeking adventures on the high seas. Expect lots of action and copious amounts of personal drama.

Times I'm looking at (all EST):
Tuesday, after 6
Wednesday, after 6
Friday, after 5
Sunday, before 7

1. Minki/AOB

2. Froncentrate

3. I'm interested in the Sunday game especially, but I can see about managing either Tuesday or Wednesday.

4. Fairly canon familiar. I'm a little vague on the specifics of the early series, but I have a good gist of the plot and arcs.

5. Strongest character concept: a scatterbrained postman from an ancient civilization who ended up eating a Zom-Zom Fruit. Similar to Brook's Revive-Revive Fruit in that it preserves the soul and keeps it bound to a body even after death. The Zom-Zom Fruit's limitation is that the soul is kept intact only as the body is. Its user immediately dies when there's nothing left of their body. This rule can be abused by someone clever enough who finds pieces to replace lost body parts, "refreshing" the user's link to the world. The user's body isn't particularly picky about needing an exactly identical replacement allowing for even chemeric modifications.

They were trapped under a rock or so that was deemed haunted by the local townspeople till something or another happened that shattered it or pushed it away. As they returned to the surface world, having missed out on probably centuries of history, they realized that they remembered nothing about their past. After all, it's been ages. Who can be bothered to remember what happened centuries ago?

Having forgotten their past and their identity, their only clues to their former life are their postman uniform and a single mysterious letter marked with someone's initials. The zombie postman re-committed themselves to their job and made it their mission to deliver this one envelope in the hopes that doing so would illuminate who they were. Neverminding the fact that the person who the letter was addressed to could be long dead.

Difficult to get angry, but messing around with their letter is an easy way to do that. Traveling with the crew, finding focus with a group of comrades, seem like an ideal way to get them to where he needs to be, hence them teaming up with the party.

By necessity, the postman acquired surgical skills after the first few times misplacing a limb or two. Probably knew someone who taught them after fixing them up. They have enough anyway to maybe qualify them as the crew's doctor.

The postman would maybe be a str/agi character skilled with close quarters combat.

6. Will update as I think of something also, but lots of action and opportunities for rebellions would be just up my alley.

7. Seven Deadly Sins had a killer song that I liked.
