Personality: Raven is very serious and distrustful of outsiders. She is neither talkative or quiet nor is she shy or particularly friendly. She is a very focused person and sometimes a bit paranoid but her heart is in the right place when it comes to her crewmates and friends. She also hates anyone who refuses to fight without good reason. It is unknown what kind of person she really is at times because of how flexible her moral standards are.

History: Raven was raised by ruthless bandits, it's where her questionable morals came from. As a baby she was abandoned on the shore of an uncharted yet inhabited island. A troupe of bandits lived there and decided to take her in and raise her, hoping they could use her for ransom at some point. They were honorable thieves but not above killing to get what they wanted. One day they were raided by marines and most were killed by the trigger happy idiots. Only a handful survived, including Raven. She vowed revenge against those who killed her friends and became a pirate, knowing one day she would find someone who could help her take down the people who took those dear to her away.

After the bandits were killed those who remained parted ways and Raven traveled around looking for a crew to join. During this time she attracted the eye of a well known perverted pirate captain who chased her relentlessly for years. During this time she well developed Kenbunshoku type Haki, having always been sensitive to perverts after being raised by bandits who warned her well of the dangers of men.

Bounty: 845,000,000 Beri
Years as a Pirate: 14
Crew Name: Royal Flush Pirates
Location: New World

Devil Fruit: Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Nemean Lion
Classification: Mythological Zoan
» Description: This Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit is based on the Nemean Lion. His skin is invincible to any external physical damage. Haki can theoretically bypass this defense. His claws are sharp, strong, and hard enough to cut diamond. His strength, speed, and senses have been dramatically enhanced. Also, unlike the Nemean Lion, he has solar attacks since lions are solar creatures in many cultures. These attacks include lasers, condensing energy in his body for blasts, and explosions.

Fighting Skill(s): martial arts, three forms of Haki (view spoiler)[

Observation Haki
He can sense everyone around him in wide, though the range can increase tenfold if he focuses. He can detect the opponents' next few movements. It is as if he can completely read the opponent's thoughts, except he can predict their movements even if they aren't thinking.

Armament Haki
His Haki can be used in multiple ways. His primary use of Haki is adding it to his body or weapons. By doing so, the strength of his attacks increases tremendously, adding on to his impressive strength. It also increases his already formidable defense and due to the Haki's intensity, nearly no one can bypass his defense. He can also create an invisible barrier. The third and final use is actually creating a small barrier and projecting it. This creates a long range attack that can take out plenty.

Conqueror's Haki
He can knock out or dominate up several people or animals. The number varies depending on the range. He can also cause a small tremor, wind, and crack wood and the ground when using Haki (like Shanks). In addition, he can communicate with all animals, including Sea Kings.

Martial Arts
Adelino is well-versed in a multiple mixed martial arts along with street fighting. He is very agile, fast, and dodges well. Between his super strength and Haki, the power behind his fighting becomes greatly enhanced. That being said, he rarely uses brute force and prefers clever moves that end with the enemy in a painful hold. (hide spoiler)]

Weapon(s): none

Weaknesses: Sea Stone; Haki; Seawater

History: Adelino was born in the Calm Belt near the New World. The island he was a pirate one like the Kuja. All of the citizens were trained for war and the country was rich. He had a bright future since, although he was only twelve, he had learned the island's multiple forms of martial arts and Haki. Then the Marines began using Kairouseki on their ships. They brought a Buster Call with them and destroyed half of the island. Broken, the survivors submitted to the might of the World Government. Adelino, however, had unknowingly used Conqueror’s Haki to communicate with the Sea Kings and escaped to Paradise. For a while, he wandered around and trained, intending to seek revenge. However, he encountered Whitebeard, who inspired him to seek freedom and live a nice, easygoing life filled with friends. He then gathered a crew and rose to fame in the Grand Line. Eventually, the World Government labeled him a Yonko due to the control he had in the New World.

Relations:
» Royal Flush Pirates - his pirate crew; (view spoiler)[



This pirate crew is split into twelve divisions. Each division has about 100 men and is headed by a commander titled 2-10, Jack, Queen, or King. The commanders with numbers aren't ranked by strength, but Jack, Queen, and King are much stronger than the other commanders and are ranked in strength. In addition to all of these members is another commander named Joker, who is in charge of communicating with allies, all of whom act as a thirteenth division. His commanders are part of his original crew that he gathered in Paradise. His crew calls him "head honcho", meaning big boss. (hide spoiler)]

Name:Connie Green
» Alias: Teeny Greenie
*(Strong Willed, Wise, Hero)

Gender: Female
» Sexuality: Heterosexual
» Relationship Status: Single

Age: 20
» Birthday: July 31st
» Place of Birth: Grand Line

Appearance:

(view spoiler)[

(hide spoiler)]
Height:5’7”
Weight: 125
Hair: Red, cropped short
Skin: Pale
Eyes: Go from reddish-brown to green, depending on the lighting.
Body type: Hourglass
Pitch of voice: Not high, but not low, either. It’s a nice medium tone.
Distinguishable markings: She has a scar on her leg from a sword, one right above her ear, in her hair, from an arrow, and another tiny one right above her lip and below her nose that she doesn’t remember getting.

Personality: Connie is very freewilled. If someone attacks her or tries to make her do something they want, she'll do the opposite, just to spite them. She hates manipulation. Also, while being very skilled, she loves to read anything she can get her hands on, and sharpen her wit with insults aimed at the nearest person near her. Of course, they're all endearing, so each insult is nearly a compliment. Connie likes to be unnoticed lots of the time, because that means she can get away with more. It gives her a kick when the person standing next to her is blamed for something she did, so long as it's not really a bad punishment in store for the victim of her efforts. On the outside, she's loud, happy, boisterous, and pretty outgoing. However, when she's alone, she quiet, confined, introverted, and studious. She helped her older brother design his ships, as well as her disaster-proof windsurfer.
» Habits: Constantly fluffing her hair so it doesn’t fall limp. Knits her fingers together in puppetty ways while she thinks. Braids a strand of hair when she’s nervous.

Bounty: 200,000 Belli
Years as a Pirate: Five
Crew Name: Queenie Pirates -She’s a loner pirate, but she’s welcome on most every pirate ships for a share of the treasure, when she needs it, on various raids or excursions. Normally, she’s really just loyal to everyone and not loyal at all, like a mercenary pirate who claims the title of a crew.
Location: Grand Line, somewhere along the middle. (Forgive my ignorance, I’m only like 200 episodes in.)

Devil Fruit: Tiny-Tiny Fruit
Classification: Paramecia
» Description: She can shrink any part of her body, or her entire self, which is helpful in dodging a strike when she can’t naturally do so.

Fighting Skill(s): Comparable to Zoro’s fighting skill at the start of the series, but with only one blade.
Weapon(s): A Katana, unknown to her, a pretty rare high quality one. She doesn’t know exactly what it is, but she adores it.

Weaknesses: She is a skilled fighter, but not infallible. She has

History: Connie was a sweet little creature as a child, with never the thought of piracy in her mind, not even when her brother made these amazing boats for ‘whomever’ could pay. Connie eventually coerced a creation of her own into his workshop, something she’d only read about, a windsurfer. It was apparently too small to brave the heavy ocean, but it was beautiful for the rolling waves. Her brother made it as safe as he could, with reinforced cork and titanium lining, so sharks couldn’t bite it or tear into it, and she sailed the waves. Little protective rims could be pulled up to keep her from rolling off into the water while she was sleeping on it, and an anchor could keep her in place. In short, it was just large enough for a pack of supplies, a blanket, and her, but it was the fastest, most fantastic way to travel. And after her brother’s alterations? Even he was sure the heaviest storm wouldn’t truly sink it, if someone could just hold on tight enough and outlast the waves.
Of course, then when she was about fifteen, she was nearly killed by the navy, who mistook her surfer for a pirate’s, and shot at her. Even though they apologized, pulling her shattered surfer up onto their navy boat and profusely and energetically returning her home, she was forever against and infuriated with the navy. If treasure hunters were considered pirates and worthy of death, as well as innocents who happened to have something another pirate did, well, was it worth being an innocent with no means of defending herself? She glanced down as the cook bundled out a barrel of ice-packed fruit, offering as much to make her not take them to court. The fruit had been taken from an island somewhere on the edge of the Grand Line, and in the midst of odd assortments, there was a tiny yellow fruit about the size of a grape. Delicious… And magical.
Of course, she could shrink and regrow to normal size as she pleased, now, so she could shrink out of ropes and chains and nets, as well as anything anyone threw her way, which made her an ideal person to be a pirate mercenary. Despite her brother’s protests, on the repair of her Windsurfer, she took to the high seas to undertake a life of treasure hunting. After all, it wasn’t really piracy if she wasn’t stealing.
So, she’s now pretty well known among most decent ‘pirates’, and wanted, though not very seriously, as she’s more of an annoyance to the government, although she’s still wanted.

Body type: Long and skinny, but solid shoulders.
Pitch of voice: A slightly low, uncaring/indifferent tone.

Personality: Valerian isn't the type of person who goes out of his way to get to know you. He stands a bit in the back of the crowd and can easily be lost if you don't keep a close eye on him.

Location: Along the Grand line like everyone else.

Devil Fruit: Firma-Firma fruit
Classification: Paramecia
» Description: This fruit allows the user to manipulate any inanimate object by bending it, making it float, moving stuff around, and even disassembling something. In some rare sited cases this fruit's power has been known change the state of matter.

Fighting Skill(s): Although with only a basic marine training, spending a lot of time with his mother has helped him learn more about non frontal battle tactics, like how to dodge an attack, how to sneak properly, and how to pick your way out of handcuffs.

Weapon(s): His surroundings, if it's not alive, and is made out of matter, it is a weapon.

Weaknesses: His Firma-Firma fruit abilities do not work on things made out of Kairoseki.
Changing any substance into a different state of matter takes a large amount of focus to do properly, and to make it contain that form.
Firma Firma fruit powers have different levels of control ability depending on the state of matter with solids being the easiest to manipulate, liquids and plasma being a bit harder, and gas being fairly hard to control.

Family: Titania Bluewave (Mother-45-retired pirate)
Oberon Bluewave (Father-47-Retired Marine)
Isole Bluewave (Sister-25-Marine)

History: Valerian was raised in and born in the West Blue ocean on the ship both his mother and father had worked on for the Marines. Well, his father worked for the Mariens, his mothers was a former pirate "gone good" because of her new found love for the man, but only a select few actually believed that she had given up her old ways.

Valerian was the second child of the family, and grew interested in the life of a marine, as his entire life was comprised of one ship, but wasn't given much head to it as his twister's abilities out-shined his. She had taken upon herself to acquire a devil fruit, and was now being taught to use it accordingly. He was entirely ignored though. While his sister, through her father, had several long experienced years of premarine training with people on he ship. Valerian's mother took it upon herself to train her son in her own way. She had started to teach him many old tricks that she had learned through the years of thieving and pirating. His mother was only teaching him these tricks as she needed to do something to occupy his time while his sister trained, but little did anyone in the family know how this odd divide would affect the family.

As the years went by and the Respective adults taught their respective skills to their children, it sparked and old light in them. In Valerian's mother it brought back the good old days of being a pirate. While Valerian's father had gone from just a normal officer, to the proud father of a girl withe he potential to become one of the greatest Admiral the sea had ever seen. These to feelings of dreams for the future, and desire for the life before a family bore into the mind of Valerian's parents, and it dragged them apart. This didn't affect his relationship with his sister though, for a matter of fact it was stronger than ever.

Eventually though, things had reached a boiling point when the ship they had been living on had gone to the ride line to restock. Valerian's father ,Oberan, caught his mother ,Titania, attempting to steal something in the town they stopped at. That was it for their relationship. There had been many problems the last few months on the boat, but that had been the breaking point for them.

This had not been much of a shock to the Oberan's crew members as they had foreseen their break up coming a long time ago, but their was still stir around the ship as to whom would get the children. No one cared much for who Valerian went with, but his sister's potential was something they wanted to keep. Luckily for them when Titania came for the children, only Valerian decided to go with her. This was upsetting for both sides as each one had just lost a child they were probably never going to see again, but were still happy that one of their children got to stay with them.

Valerian took the loss of his father and sister a lot better than what was expected of him. He was very sad that he had to watch them go, but secretly hoped he would get to see them again, but when faced between never seeing his mom again, or his sister and dad. He chose his mother. This choice however, made his life take a strange turn. He was now around the age of fourteen, and now living with a master thief.

Titania had every intention of finding her old crew and rejoining it, but first she had to take care of her child. She wanted to at least raise him to be able to fend for himself, even if that meant having to again resist her thieving urges and teach him better morals, but luckily all those years of teaching her son how to pick the various locked doors around the ship gave him loose morals as well. She quickly brought him into the world of being a thief and how to survive off of it alone.

As the years went by, Titania and Valerian had made the town that they left the ship off of their home. They had stole many things, Titania mostly striving to take gold and riches, while Valerian mostly took money, food, or money for food. The two usually only stuck to minor crimes and break ins, until one day they saw a new ship land in harbor. It turns out one of the big wigs in town had ordered a large shipment of rare goods. It looked like a golden opportunity to the two thieves.

That night the two had snuck into the house of the man who had ordered most of the things on the boat. Their hands moved quickly, and expertly as they silently moved through the house, taking things that looked of large value, and other things that had caught their eyes. One of the things that had caught Valerian's eye was an exotic fruit. He had never seen anything that looked like it, albeit it was dark but still, it had caught his attention. Wondering if it was some exotic fruit from one of the other three sea's, he took a bite out of it. The taste was so horrible and came at him so suddenly he let out a loud grunt in disgust. This of course alliterated the owner of the house, and the two had to leave a bit earlier than they had wanted to.

When the two of them had gotten a safe distance away, Titania took all of her will power to not scream at her child for making such a noise, but after he explained what happened, she understood. Valerian had accidentally taken a bite of a devil fruit. Realizing that, Titania decided that it would be best if they move to a different part of the red line, before someone uses the money they used to buy all those things, to hunt down the one who had stolen those said items.

As they ran, Valerian took the time to learn about his new found power, and used it to help them aid in their escape. As the town's people put two and two together when the two went missing after so many items were stolen. Finding their high priced bounty in the next city reminded Titania about her younger days as a pirate, and that's when she realized it. Her son could take care of himself now.

Valerian, now at the age of seventeen, was now being tested by his mother to see just how well he could live along. She told him to stay in this new city while she went out to fin her old crew. Valerian listened, despite having his doubts about how well he could do. He spent his first few days only pick pocketing people for food, but as he got more comfortable with the alone aspect he got more confident. He never did anything too big in this city to bring attention to himself, he had shown he was capable of living alone. As his mother returned every few months to check on him, she finally felt that she didn't need to keep checking on him anymore.

She explained to her child that she had found her shipmates again, but couldn't bring him along as they'd try to sell him for his newly found devil fruit powers. He'd have to find his own way to survive now, and not rely on him. As the seas were harsh and the visits to shore would be irregular and not in the same place. They might not see each other again, but she told him if their paths ever did cross again, in the sea, she would spare him.

Valerian, now living alone had a lot to think about, his mom, his dad, his sister. He thought about his time on the ship with his father, how his mother chose to be a pirate. They all had a connection to the sea, and he knew deep down inside that the sea would eventually draw him in too, and it did, but in a way more complicated way than the rest of his family members.

His young life had given him a large understanding of the life of marines and such, while his teenage years were filled with Theiler and the stories of pirates. He realized sadly that, he wouldn't mind being a marine, but his current life choices made him more likely to be jailed than accepted as one. Which made being a pirate a better choice, but that didn't have its flaws either. Whoever he told about his past life as a child aboard a marine vessel, it made some pirates suspicious about where his loyalties truly lied. Which they were right to worry about. Val was afraid of how loyal he would truly be to a pirate crew if ever he ran into his sister, or father aboard a marine vessel trying to chase down the pirate ship he was on. Could he truly fight them? Could he fight another pirate ship if his mother was on it?

This odd turmoil in his mind of loyalty to blood, or loyalty to crew made him never stick too long to one ship. He didn't want to risk staying in one place to long, he didn't know if that place held one of his family members. Eventually he decided his best course of actions was to be a sort of mercenary pirate, only sticking with a crew for one raid or two, and then going of to go join another crew after getting his part of the spoils.

Our one and only mod is AWOL atm so...

Site, he's been off for a month and I'm not sure if he's been on since.

Mels, I invited loads of people. Can we serve as probationary moderators til his return, to keep it alive?

I guess? I haven't seen One Piece for a really long time

I... guess we could create a thread where we RP and keep it all kind of confined so Seth, upon his return, can make it okay and approve the characters/sort through them, and double check the 1-3 threads we've created to make sure our characters RP are okay?

Thanks for the props but guys, spam. I'd rather you guys tried to use the threads already available, if Seth doesn't like it he'll probably just want to tweak things not throw them out all together

ok
