I do not own One Piece. One Piece belongs to Eiichiro Oda.

This is another one of those "submit your character" stories. But this one will be different. At least, I shall try to make it different.
Here are the guidelines. Unspecified time after Luffy becomes Pirate King and is executed. Your characters cannot be related in any way to canon characters, nor can they have Devil Fruit powers belonging to canon characters. Only original characters with original Devil Fruit powers (or other abilities) will be allowed.
Here are the positions currently open:
Captain: Taken
First Mate: Taken
Navigator: Taken
Helmsman: Open
Cook: Open
Doctor: Open
Gunner/Marksman/Sniper: Taken
Lookout: Open
Rigger: Open
Shipwright: Open
Blacksmith: Open
Tailor: Open
Scholar: Open
Chronicler: Open
Quartermaster: Open
Merchant: Open
Musician: Open
Cabin Boy: Open
Cabin Girl: Open
Pet: Taken
That's twenty positions, five of them taken at the very start. That's fifteen slots open, to be filled out over the course of the story. The open slots are subject to change, as I will alter this chapter whenever one is taken.
If you have a character to submit, please fill out the following profile:
Submitter: Your username, or at least the name you want me to give credit to.
Name: The character's full name. Remember that surname goes first and given name goes second. But characters don't necessarily need a surname in One Piece.
Epithet: The character's pirate title or nickname.
Sex: Self-explanatory.
Age: Self-explanatory. Remember that giants live to be about three hundred.
Race: Only canon races. This means: Humans, Giants, Fishmen, Mermaids, Dwarves, Skypieans, Bilkans, Shandians, Longarm Tribesmen, Longleg Tribesmen, and Snakeneck Tribesmen. No Minkmen. If Fishman or Mermaid, state what kind of fish they're modeled after.
Position: Their role on the crew, from the list above.
Weapons: Any weapons they wield in combat. Describe them in detail and be sure to mention where your character keeps them when not wielding them (such as sheathed at the hip or back).
Fighting Style: How your character fights. Closely related to their Devil Fruit, abilities, and the weapon they wield.
Devil Fruit: The name of the Devil Fruit they have, if any, as well as the meaning of that name. Be sure to use a Japanese name. If you need help with a Japanese name, speak to me.
Powers: The power of the Devil Fruit they've eaten. Only applies if they've eaten one.
Abilities: Non-Devil Fruit related abilities, such as Super-Human Strength, Super-Human Speed, Mantra, Rokushiki, Seimei Kikan, Haki, and Fishman abilities, go here. Be sure to describe how your character uses them, in what way, and how good they are at it.
Skills: Any natural skills, be they learned or through talent. This includes things like cooking, medical skills, drawing, etc.
Weaknesses: Any weaknesses they might have, both tangible and intangible.
Appearance: Describe them in detail, or supply a picture and I will describe them in the story. If you describe them, be sure to mention skin color, eye color, hair color, hair style, build (height, weight (no need for exact number, just a simple very light, light, average, heavy, very heavy, etc.), curves (breast size, rear, waist, etc.), muscles, etc.), and the clothes they typically wear (they will probably change clothes during the story at several points, so give me an idea of what to choose). Details for mermaids, such as scale and fin color, and fish appendages for fishmen, should also be listed here.
Personality: Your character's personality. Summarize it in a few words for easy reference, but also give a detailed description for clarity. What helps is to mention how your character would react to common situations.
History: Be detailed. Start from birth to roughly where they are now. But give me room to incorporate them into the story.
Romance: State whether you want your character to be open for a romantic relationship or not. There won't be too terribly much of it in the story, considering One Piece's nakama and family theme, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. If you're okay with your character in a relationship, state what kind and whether you have a specific character in mind or not.
Other: Anything else you'd like to mention.
Even if your character is not accepted into the crew, they may be used elsewhere in the story. You can submit multiple characters, but there's no guarantee that all of them will be accepted into the crew.
Also feel free to submit locations and plot ideas, as well. I'll be sure to credit all used submissions.
Submit your characters, locations, ideas, etc. to Cyberweasel89 at yahoo dot com.
Okay. Now, on to the first chapter.
