His Plant-Plant powers are a little much. It's like an overpowered mix of paramecia and zoans. I suggest choosing one category to keep yourself in - either give him an ability to grow a number of plants by producing seeds, or give him a specific plant and make it a zoan type.

Basically "plant" is too vague. But otherwise the character is great and would be allowed to start in the pioneering company.

Ok, changed it to just making plants grow. By plants I mean things like trees, vines, vegetables, and ivy. A wide selection, but that was the point.

Good, all good. Accepted. I also see a good team dynamic between him and Cocoa. I can imagine Cocoa needing some more surfaces to bounce on, and Glint being able to make trees for just that reason.

Can I change my Rokushiki power for Tex from Flash Step to Double Jump? I'm thinking maybe a tactic of his is using the air to jump up high, transform, and jump back down, creating an Earthquake.

So, the Ms. Valentines tactic taken Up To Eleven? I think I'd prefer that more than a lightning-fast juggernaut. However, because that seems like a long action to take - jumping into the air, transforming, then falling - you'll have to divide it up into two separate posts, meaning you're pretty much open to attack until then. I don't see him using it during one on one battles, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. tl;dr Don't abuse it and give it realistic time to do.

Aaaaaaand if it means anything I'm changing Cocoa's Badass Nickname to something a lot better than "Sand Jumper": "Pinball." "Pinball Cocoa."

Well you know, so far we haven't seen Flash Step used as an attack (Such as using it to charge at someone), and when someone did try to use it for such a thing (Coby), well, he got punched in the face. (Spoiler for those who haven't seen the War arc. Playing it safe). Mostly I wanted him to use it to explain how he got to places.

If you're a giant, how else are you going to get everywhere quickly? If he ran, he'd probably fall into the underground from the force of his running. Getting the fruit meant he could be trained by a human, and since giants are just bigger humans... yeah.

It will help character development.

ill try my hand here

Name: Mariachi (former name was Carlos Gallardo)

Gender: male

Age: 40

Race: human

Alignment: solo

  • Position: former State sponsored Law enforcement agent (like the the Texas Rangers) current bounty hunter
o Bounty (if any): none

Appearance/Attire: just like this add bow and quiver of arrows over the back, knives on the belt and 2 tomahawks on the hip.

Personality: Stoic (separates himself from his emotions to gain greater insite into the human condition),

Skills: fast enough to aim dodge, master with all variety of firearms (from throwing knifes to bows and arrows to the newest firearm). Skilled acrobat(extremely flexible and fast).

Weapons/Fighting Style: weapons: multitude of ranged weapons carried in the guitar case. Uses what can best be described at Gun Fu and monkey kung fu. Weapons include 5 throwing knifes, a bow and quiver with 10 arrows, 6 pairs of pistols (all shoot .45 rounds) (3 pairs are 5 shooters and the other 3 pairs are six shotters) 2 double battles sawed off shotguns, 1 long ranged rife, and a pair of tomahawks for hand to hand combat.

Background: Born to a poor family in a gang infested town, Mariachi was around death almost all the time. his father was the only straight law man for 50 miles in any direction. His father taught him how to shoot many weapons. He killed his first man at age 8 when he saved his father from a hit using a bow and arrow set. Jump forward 30 years and he is a high ranging government agent, until he is discharged for going against order and killing a high ranking government official that was also a gang leader, which the rest of his group found out a few months later when his account were accessed by them. They tried to get him to join back up but he refused. He set up shop in the town Diablo Canon, one of the "lawless towns" and the citizens of the area consider the closest they have to a sheriff.

Goals: protect the innocent from corruption from both pirates and the government.

Miscellaneous: never touches alcohol.

@Big Daddy: Well, above all else, I just don't want a giant speeding around, and story-wise, this makes sense. So far we haven't seen a single giant in the series that can use soru, and I just don't think it's possible for something that big to move their legs that fast. As Luffy pointed out, it's hitting the ground 10 times in the time frame of a blink. I just can't see a giant doing that.

@vanthebaron: Well, for one, I ask that you go back and give grammar a better attempt. I want everything to be legible in this RP. Typos happen, but seeing your other writing, I kind of sense that you're not giving it a full effort.

Next, I disapprove of images unless you have the artist's permission. This is for a multitude of reasons, but mostly, I think physical appearance is important enough to a character that I want you to be original and create it yourself.

Weapons and skills. I don't like inconsistent hammer space. Specify exactly what weapons he has, and give him limits. I'm not going to allow a Jack of All Trades who isn't A Master Of None, which it sounds like Mariachi is. Overall, I think he has too much stuff with too easy access. He can be able to use all those weapons, but maybe you can limit how much he carries at a time or something.

Lastly, expand on his personality. "Stoic" can mean a lot of things, from isolating himself, being mute, masking emotions, having a sense of arrogance... So, go into more detail there.

Once you fix these things and everything looks alright, I'll accept him, but not yet.

[up]If the character is accepted, do you think we could work out a tiny brief history between them? Like, they crossed paths, went after the same pirate, Tex stole Mariachi's girlfriend.

Have you seen Once Upon A Time In Mexico? My character is based off Mariachi from that movie. And the immaterial was on photobucket not permission needed for use. I base a lot of my character off other shows. Also there is not hammer space involved, it's a guitar case that he uses to store guns. Also he's not a jack of all trades, he's a marksmen.

[up] I'd really, really not have expies of other shows. And I didn't mean Jack of All Trades meaning ALL trades, I mean the trades of like, marksmen. Usopp is a marksmen, but he just uses a slingshot with abnormal ammo. Your guy has throwing knives, rifles, bows and arrows, etc. etc. etc.

The guitar case his a limited space. 5 Knifes for close range silent kills, bow and arrow for mid range silent kills, guns for taking out a lot of enemy's. 2 sawed off double barrle shotguns, 6 different pairs of pistols and 1 long range rifle. Tomahawks are for H 2 H.

I'm still just not liking him. He sounds too good. Define some weaknesses, because right now it seems like he can fight in just about any situation. And also, fix your grammar, like I asked you to. More than anything that's going to bother me, this is an expectation most R Ps have. Not perfect, error-less grammar, just show you put some effort. Especially since this is (almost) my first impression of you.

Personality still needs more detail. What if I described Cocoa as "happy?" That'd be too vague, it wouldn't give anyone an idea of anything.

Same weakness all marksmen have. Ammo is not infinite. And guns get dents and don't work right when you beat people with them. And can you point out the grammar errors (aim dodge is not an error it's a term that means you can dodge just before the bullet leaves the barrel). Also I'm using Stoic in the philosophical way. The Stoics believed that emotion was negative. They distanced themselves from emotion because they thought I wod make them better people. And I beg you watch Once Upon A Time In Mexico or Desperado

Ummm in role plays, ammo tends to be infinite in the sense that their biggest flaw is reloading. This isn't helped by the fact that your character is apparently incredibly agile so they can just dodge and reload at the same time. I also doubt you're going to let your guns get dented and totally throw them away. And you've got multiple weapons, like, a giga-ton of weapons for one character, all neatly tucked in a guitar case. Is ammo really going to be a problem to justify all your character's strengths?

I really suggest you just stop arguing with me. If you're not going to make changes to your character, and you're not going to actually describe your character but let a picture do all the talking for you, if you're going to continue using terms like "stoic" and assuming that's enough when I've already said it's not, and if you're not going to have the ability to actually spot your own typos and improper grammar, maybe you're not fit for this role play.

And he's still just a goddamned expy of some character I've never seen. Try making an original character, or, in the least, don't copy the fucking name.

1: when I rp ammo is never infinite. You can't carry 1000 clips of ammo around with you without a truck.

2: I added next to the term stoic the definition in which I was using it

3: It's physically impossible to reload and dodge at the same time (another weakness he had is open spaces with poor cover because they give him nowhere to hide and reload)

4: you wanted limits and I limited him a lot

5: you don't want to hit anyone with anything but a rifel or shotgun butt due to the fragleness or the firearm and choking someone out with a bow string takes time.

6: I've read it, my dad has read it we both see no typos. Please point them out.

7: Every character I make is some how an expy. I work with what I know.

Capitalization...

That's ignoring the general lack of writing ability, and you probably overlooked a bunch of places where typos were made. All I asked was you go back and fix it up, and apparently you did, so, if your writing ability isn't even that high, then I don't want you in my RP. And that's all looking past you just not cooperating.

And calling me a petty bastard is helping your case, yeah.

I think you guys could take this to P Ms. I'm not going to step in and say who is right or not, but I think it's best for you two to take it to something more personally

Or you're just arguing back and forth in 'public' as it were, and that doesn't make either of you look good. Best to sort this out privately.

OK then, as for my character, he can only use soru as a human.

  • Name: Alix “White Hood” Marquese (pronounced “mar-KESS”)
  • Gender: FeMale
  • Age: 19
  • Race: Human
  • Alignment: Solo
    • Bounty (if any): 10,000 Set by her parents.
  • Appearance/Attire: Alix is about 5’8” tall with long, black hair that he usually keeps tied in a ponytail. He is slight of frame with a fair complexion and dark brown eyes. As the nickname implies, Alix is normally seen wearing a stark white riding hood over his normal outfit, partially to help keep himself cool and partially to hide his identity. The clothing underneath his hood consists of a tan shirt and pants covered by light body armor, giving him a more muscular appearance.
  • Personality: Alix normally keeps to himself, but has been known to have friendly chats with others. It can only be assumed that he doesn’t talk much because he sounds like a young boy who hasn’t quite reached puberty. When he fights, he almost becomes a different person; he gets a cold look in his eye and remains completely silent until the battle is over.
  • Skills: He excels at sniping and is skilled at repairing firearms. He isn’t so good at close-up fighting and as a result he’s been known to fight dirty.
  • Weapons/Fighting Style: His main weapon is a sniper rifle that he uses to pick enemies off at a distance. For more close range fighting, part of the barrel detaches, giving the rifle a more “sawed-off” look and feel to it. Unfortunately, being that the rifle’s intended purpose was long-distance shooting, it’s harder to wield effectively in its short form. He’ll typically use it in this way if he only needs one or two shots to quickly finish a battle. His secondary weapons are a pair of small knives that he keeps hidden up his sleeves. In a pinch, the detached gun barrel can be used as a light bludgeon.
  • Background: Alix is the oldest child of the wealthy Marquese family of the Unionized Colonies. He was arranged to marry into a family of similar standing, but he already had plans to run away with his true love and settle in the Stray Colonies and make a life on their own. Those plans were dashed when his lover one day disappeared, leaving a note behind that said, “I went to find the City of Gold. Don’t wait for me, my Love.” Alix later found that the note had been faked and that his lover was in fact dead. In a fit of rage, he stole his father’s riding cloak, some armor, weapons, and enough money to keep himself well-supplied and finding a lead naming the parties responsible (the Hitmen responsible, that is) and set off toward the Stray Colonies.
  • Goals: “I’ll have my revenge...”
  • Miscellaneous: For a guy who’s pretty attractive-looking, he tends to shy away from the advances of women. This leads people to believe that he’s a Celibate Hero. He carries a broken pocket watch that he takes out every so often to remind him of his mission. Do not touch it.

Sounds good. Accepted.

I'm thinking of starting the RP soon. We've got a healthy amount of people to at least get things moving and I've got our first "arc" ready and a second one after that. I'll probably make the role playing topic and the discussion this weekend, and sign-ups will still be active.

If you guys can help me out, tell me if you'd be willing to double as temporary antagonists. You don't need to create a character just yet, just let it be known, and soon, probably after the RP starts, I'll let you know what the basis for a villain would be.

The plan for Melody Acres is for Cocoa and Glint to stroll in, attempt to recruit some people, and get a better wagon. Bandits get involved and some fighting breaks out, military gets involved, and the pioneering company w/ new additions make an escape for the Dry Sea.
