Chapter 5

Character Lists

Writing characters can be tricky. I can't tell you the amount of times I've stopped and deleted paragraphs just because it didn't sound like something a character would say.

So my dear reader, I've come up with a trick to keeping the characters in character and that trick is called bullet points.

A simple concept, but so useful.

Feel free to use some of mine to help organize your basic characters.

Luffy

His nakama call him an idiot, but he's more so simple minded and prefers to keep things that way. Complications aren't fun.

He loves to explore.

His will power is strong, but not unbreakable.

He loves his nakama and they love him, though it might not appear that way.

He's called a monster, but he's still human.

Zoro

He trains a lot, which leaves him tired. Sleep is the way muscles grow.

He's like Ace, a big brother type. He looks out for everyone's wellbeing.

He's serious because someone needs to be.

Sanji

He was raised around rowdy, violent men. He is quick to anger because that's what he's used to. Zoro doesn't mind the fights. It's kind of like bonding time.

He loves women. He would never strike one. He could never hate one either. But every rule has an exception.

He insists that he lives to serve only the women. But he makes Luffy snacks too.

He's kind of like Sabo, a big brother and a gentleman.

Nami

She grew up with the idea that money is everything.

She knows that the crew hates having debts to pay, which is why she makes it impossible to pay back; so they stay longer.

The other reason is because it's a running gag. She is not greedy enough to use money as a means to control her friends.

She's like Dadan, she says she doesn't care, but she does. And she's the only person capable of ending Zoro's and Sanji's fights with just a punch.

Chopper

He's cute and innocent. He acts like a child because it's in his nature.

He is a very skilled doctor. If someone contracts an illness, he should be able to diagnose it.

He tries to emulate the crew.

Robin

She is like Makino, a mother figure.

She dose like children.

She has a dark sense of humor.

She can be very playful, and is very willing to partake in the crews antics.

Franky

He's like the playful father figure.

He's always trying to have fun.

Being SUPER is important.

Usopp

He's the instigator when it comes to Luffy and Chopper.

He's kind of like a normal person, and acts like a normal person would in the situations he finds himself in.

Brook

He's like the funny uncle of the group.

He loves to sing and he loves to tell jokes. It's what kept him sane during those years in the Florian Triangle.

Nothing keeps his spirits down for long.

Well this is the list I came up with. I hope it helps.

~Done

Well I'm tired since it's now 3:00 AM so goodnight.

Also, did you notice the order I put the crew in? A youtuber's comment said that this was the correct order the Straw Hats joined the crew because Nami, Usopp, and Robin all left the crew at some point and then rejoined. I found the comment interesting and I decide to share it with you.

Thank you for reading. I hope you have a wonderful day/night. Bye~
