This story will take place in the canon storyline. If you're going to flame me, you can actually put that time to better use by, I don't know, walking your dog, helping an elderly neighbor by taking their trash out, or helping your family with stuff. If you want in, here's the bio. I've also posted it on my profile along with a poll. Don't review, because I'll be replacing this chapter with a real one after I get enough OCs registered. There's fourteen opens spots in the crew, send the forms in through PMs with the subjects labeled "Crusader Pirate Registration Form", and I'll get back with you. Take your time filling these out, but take a look at the poll in the meantime. Oh, and a quick warning to the trolls, I've got a cat who thinks he's a dog, and I'm not afraid to let him loose. Have a wonderful day.

Also, to help out with your bios, allow me to introduce you to my OC, Highcloud D. Beowulf, a pipe-smoking, trash-talking, ambiverted trickster and twenty-seven year old half-Shandorian, half-human hybrid who was born on Skypiea, but was initially raised as the son of a Noblewoman on Lvneel in the North Blue, but found himself being on the move often after a year of being enslaved by the Celestial Dragons, being recruited into the Revolutionary Army for some time, infiltrating Cipher Pol for two years, being forced on the run from the Big Mom Pirates after refusing to let Big Mom play matchmaker for him resulting in him quitting the R.A., and finally having to leave Skypiea after pissing off Eneru. Wanna know how that all happened? You'll see in time. Also, still tweaking with his abilities, so don't sweat it on the Devil Fruit and Fighting Style stuff. I'm working out the kinks on his abilities, and deciding whether they come from a Devil Fruit or a new fighting style. Might be the latter.

Update: I forgot to mention, for the pairings, Robin is already taken. Sorry, still new to the SYOC thing. I posted my OC's bio on my profile if you guys wanna check it out, might have some spoilers, but I removed the history part since it'll be covered in the chapters. Don't forget to do the poll, guys. It's for the story.

(If I'm missing something, let me know. Be prepared to make adjustments or a second character just in case, guys. And I want details for each one of these. And I urge you again to take your time in filling out these forms. If you guys want to submit a Cipher Pol agent or a Marine or whatever, PM me. One more thing, please do the poll, and delete the stuff in the parenthesis of this form when you fill these parts out, please.)

Name: (Surname, First name. In that order. You can also just go by the first name like a lot of the characters do. And no "D." initials. Already have one for the story.)

Nickname: (include who calls you the nicknames, like are they affectionate, or insulting, or in a joking matter, that sort of thing. It's not a requirement, but you know.)

Alias: (Undercover names, real names or fake names, I'm also having my OC give codenames, so pick one that relates to your character's personality, appearance, or whatever. For example: Luffy: Stretch, Ace: Hotshot, etc..)

Epithet: (Include reason for it; Example: "Straw Hat" Luffy (easily identified by his straw hat); "Pirate Hunter" Roronoa Zoro (was a bounty hunter before he became a pirate); "Black Leg" Sanji (Black Leg Fighting Style, technically "Red Leg" because of Zeff's moniker, but you know); "Cyborg" Franky (he's a cyborg); "Humming Swordsman" Brook (Yo-Ho Ho-Ho, Yo Ho-Ho-Ho,...))

Gender: (I'm looking for an equal balance of males and females, okamas are welcome)

Race: (Human, Cyborg, Fishfolk, Merfolk, Sky Islander (Skypiean, Shandorian, Birkan), Mink, Kuja, Dwarf, Longarm, Longleg, Three-Eye, Snakeneck, etc.. I'm not taking giants. Hybrids are allowed, but make sure the story's straight.)

Sea of Origin: (The story won't start on the Grand Line, and remember, Sanji was originally from the North Blue, but circumstances brought him to the East Blue)
+Island: (If you choose one that's already appeared in the anime, I may have to ask you to change the island if there are too many requests for the same one, because the stories might interlap, unless you're cool with working out compromises)
+Why did they leave their home?:
+Why would they join this crew?: (What circumstances would drive your OC to join this crew?)

Occupation: (Marine, Pirate, Noble, Cipher Pol agent, Bounty Hunter, Mechanic, Shipwright, Slave, etc.. What they were before, and what they are now. Just be sure to mark which one's current, and which was the former.)

Position on Ship: (May have multiple positions, but there are only fourteen spots open, and there's only one captain, one First Mate, one Second Mate, and one Third Mate.)

Role in the Crew: (What do you do exactly in the crew?)

Relationships (How do people interact with your character? Vice versa, too.)-

Friends: (Any history with canon or non-canon people? Not too many childhood friends of canon characters unless you've got something to back it up. If you'd like to describe your character's relationships with them, it'd help. But break it up so I'm not looking at a wall of text, please.)

Rivals: (Everyone needs a Goku or a Vegeta. I also would like to add that if you choose to have a rival, go into detail on how this rivalry came to be, please.)

Family: (Sibs, cousins, grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, blood, adopted, foster, etc.. If you're going to be related to canon characters, let's avoid direct relations to some of them. But if you can provide a good enough backstory that I can work in, I'll allow it. Don't get your hopes up though, I want to keep a lot of the main storyline canon.)

Love Interest: (Like Zoro, Ace, Hancock, Sabo, Lucci, etc.)

Personality (If you want to group some of these together, go ahead. Just try to keep them sorted out.)-

Personality: (What are they like? How do they act towards others? I want details for this, not just a list of words.)

Mannerisms: (Example: A person who is lying would blink often or change the tone of their voice; Someone who is scared, angry, or nervous would clench their jaw or breathe heavily; One who is in love would smile or blush a lot or absentmindedly twirl their hair; A confident person would talk loudly, have their hands folded behind their head, or walk with confidence; Someone who lacks confidence would do the opposite of the previous, including apologizing often, clear throat a lot, or laugh to fill uncomfortable silences; One who is bored would yawn often, stare in the distance, tap their fingernails on the surface of something, roll their eyes, or kick their feet around absentmindedly. If you need more, Google it. Basically, mannerisms are gestures that match the personality, how one speaks or pronounces a word, or uses old fashioned phrases.)

Quirks: (An unusual trait or behavior, something that's strange and unexplained. For example: Somehow always having a box of popcorn when there's a hilarious scene about to unfold or think Spencer Shay whenever he makes something, which inevitably combusts, like the fire extinguisher and I think a towel?)

Flaws: (Character flaws, like Sanji's schtick when it comes to women, Zoro and his lack of sense of direction, Usopp and his habit of lying, Nami's greed, and Luffy's obsession with meat and jumping straight in without thinking things through)

Haki (optional): (No Haoshoku, and everyone's going to gradually learn Haki. This isn't a requirement, and not everyone's going to use it off the bat. Repeat if necessary.)
+Achieved After What Length of Training: (I'm asking here how long would it take or how long did it take for your OC to learn this form of Haki.)

(For the fighting style and the Devil Fruit ones, if you're worried about them being overpowered, we can talk about what you have in mind if you're going to make one up. Because I'm going to modify my OC's fighting style and Devil Fruit powers also. I wanted to give him shaman powers, but I also wanted him to be able to transform into an animal.)

Pick at least three Devil Fruit powers you want your OC to have, and put them in order of preference, and we'll talk about which one they can have. Devil Fruit powers from some of the non-canon stuff is allowed. I've allowed one dude to let his OC use the Bear King's Devil Fruit. However, among the ones not up for grabs are the Gold-Gold Fruit, the Luck-Luck Fruit, the Clank-Clank Fruit, or the Chain-Chain Fruit)

Voice Actor: (I see some of the other people do it on their bios, and you know how most people read and see a TV playing in their head? I think they like to envision the stories like that.)

Theme Song: (Same with the voice actor, I guess. I'm cool with it.)

Inspiration: (You know how some of the OP characters were inspired by celebrities? Dr. Frank N. Furter for Ivankov, Jim Carrey for Franky and Bon Clay, and Mankind for Spandam)

Quotes/Catchphrase: (I.E.; Luffy: "I'm gonna be king of the pirates!", or Sanji: "Mellorine!")

Background: (What's their story? Up until the story begins. I want you guys to be descriptive about this, really descriptive.
