A Great Age of Pirates! (One Piece RP! Details inside RP. PG-13. ACCEPTING!)

24 years ago, the great Pirate King Gol D. Roger was sent to the gallows to be executed for his crimes against the World Government. Before he was sentenced to death, he revealed to the world that the legendary treasure, the One Piece, was in the forbidding Grand Line, and only if they were to find One Piece, they would obtain everything the world had to offer and become King of the Pirates!

Every since then, pirates from all over the world have set out to the Grand Line, seeking One Piece, the treasure that make all of their dreams come true....


Welcome to the World of One Piece! In this vast ocean world, a single continent called the Red Line divides the world into two, very similar to our Prime Meridian. The Grand Line, an infamous and somewhat perilous sea route crosses the planet in a similar fashion to the Red Line, and is comparable to the Equator.

Because of both the Grand Line and the Red Line, the world is divided into "Blues", areas of oceans confined by the Grand Line and the Red Line, and are known as the North Blue, East Blue, South Blue and West Blue.

A map of this world is here:


PLEASE NOTE THAT A TRUE MAP DOES NOT EXIST YET.

The World Government is officially against the act of Piracy, and does everything in its power to stop it. It has the Marines, an powerful military based on naval ships and warfare. Pirates also commonly have bounties placed on their heads by the World Government.

It is up to you to decide your fate in this grand era of piracy!


RULES

1. No god-modding. Ever. It's the golden rule of RPing, and I will not tolerate this action.
2. Cursing is allowed, but PLEASE, keep it to an minimum.
3. One-liners are not going to fly. Please refrain from using them.
4. You may have up to 2 characters.
5. At some point, all of you are expected to emerge from your respective Blues and enter the Grand Line. I don't want you all to spend too much time in the Blues.
6. You are able to be very creative with your setting in the 4 Blues. Just remember that most of this world is based on the sea, so be sure to talk about islands.
7. You CAN die. If you do...Don't worry. You can continue as another (different) character.
8. Each person may choose to have a Devil Fruit power. A Devil Fruit is a mystical fruit who grants special abilities to those who consume it, such as being able to form themselves into smoke, stretch incredible distances, or even manipulate elements. This comes at the cost of losing all ability to swim. If you do choose a Devil Fruit power, PLEASE, do not make it overpowered, nor have everybody get a Devil Fruit power.
9. I have the right to close the RP (with notice).
10. I have the right to edit the rules.

ACCEPTED CHARACTERS

Username: rcox1995
Name: Aphras Vigyls
Age: 23
Gender: Male
From which Blue: North Blue
Pirate/Marine: Pirate
Devil Fruit Power (if any): Freeze-Freeze Fruit; capable of transforming self into ice and producing ice. Obviously weak to heat and/or fire.
Appearance: 5'11, and has shaggy blond hair. His bright blue eyes are covered by glasses, and wears a plain white shirt coupled with tan pants. He sometimes wears a cloak, depending on how cold it becomes. He is somewhat muscular.
History: Born and raised on a warm, tropical island in the North Blue, it was a town where a rather friendly crew of pirates visited often. He grew up with his brother and his father while his mom died while he was young. One day, a powerful group of pirates came into the town and ransacked everything that they saw. The pirate crew that happened to be there at the time fought against the newcomers, but they were slaughtered. His father was killed in the fierce battle, and from there, he and his brother swore vengeance on that pirate crew.

His brother chose a different path and became a part of the Marines, while Aphras decided to become a pirate himself, because he remembered how not all pirates are evil, from the pirate crew that he befriended in his hometown. He just heard from a pirate crew who ported in town that his father's killers were in the Grand Line, so now, he is preparing to set sail for the Grand Line.
Personality: He is intelligent, but he is also incredibly hard-headed, to the point that he barely thinks before he takes action at times. He is also caring towards his friends, but when he makes an enemy, he is sure to do everything he can to defeat them. Because of his father's death at the hand of that vicious pirate crew, his main drive is to defeat them and get vengeance.
