First and foremost, I must congratulate you, the reader, on venturing upon this page. You have now officially embedded your legacy within the higher ranks of this wiki simply by electing to read this portion of the site. I will attempt to be as brief as possible, as I would hope you are quite enthusiastic about getting started with your first few articles here. The following article contains specific details on our rules and regulations. Please be wary of these guidelines at all times.
General Guidelines
Unlike other fandoms, we are a one-piece roleplay fandom, which means that we are a community of editors dedicated to creating a collaborative story within the scope of the same universe. This is not a fanfiction site, nor is it an archive to document one piece information. Everything that is crafted within this fandom actively supports and canonically exist within the scope of our one-piece universe, which may deviate slightly from canon's own. Because this universe is collaborative, meaning that all character's actions can theoretically impact other characters, we have a few guidelines that should be always followed.
- Civility: Treat all members of the community with respect and kindness. Avoid toxic behavior such as trolling, flaming, or harassment. Be mindful of your language and actions, and strive to create a welcoming environment for everyone.
- Integrity: Be honest and transparent in your interactions with others. Avoid plagiarism, cheating, or any other form of dishonesty. Respect the intellectual property of others and give credit where credit is due.
- Contribution: Contribute positively to the community by sharing your ideas, creativity, and knowledge. Collaborate with others to create engaging and immersive roleplaying experiences. Be open to feedback and constructive criticism, and use it to improve and grow.
- Fortitude: Be resilient in the face of challenges and setbacks. Embrace the spirit of adventure and exploration that is central to the One Piece world. Keep pushing yourself to learn and improve, and never give up on your dreams.
- Empathy: Show empathy and compassion towards your fellow roleplayers. Understand that everyone has their own unique experiences and perspectives, and be open to learning from them. Support each other and build strong relationships based on trust and understanding.
- Commitment to Quality: Strive for excellence in everything you do. Pay attention to detail and take pride in your work. Seek to create high-quality content that is engaging, immersive, and true to the spirit of One Piece. Continuously improve and refine your skills, and inspire others to do the same.
- Article Page: The font on all articles across the wikia should be kept at the default setting; font should not be altered in any form, including size, color, or style. A change in font may potentially be hard on the eyes and disrupt a user from reading comfortably. Customized templates may not be employed on this site. This includes infoboxes and property tags.
Plagiarism Policy
In our One Piece Roleplaying Fanon, plagiarism is strictly prohibited. Plagiarism is defined as the act of using someone else's work, ideas, or creative content without proper attribution or permission. It is a form of intellectual theft that undermines the integrity of the community and can have serious consequences for the perpetrator. To ensure that our community remains free from plagiarism, we have the following policy in place:
- Original Content: All content posted on our platform must be original and created by the user posting it. This includes character profiles, storylines, world-building elements, and any other creative content related to the One Piece universe.
- Attribution: If you are using any ideas, concepts, or content created by someone else, you must provide proper attribution. This includes giving credit to the original creator and providing a link to the source if applicable.
- Fair Use: We recognize that there are certain situations where it may be appropriate to use copyrighted material without permission, such as character face claims. However, users must ensure that their use of such material falls within the bounds of fair use and does not violate copyright law.
- Consequences: Violations of our plagiarism policy may result in a range of consequences, including warnings, temporary or permanent bans from the platform, and removal of the plagiarized content. We take plagiarism very seriously and will not tolerate any form of intellectual theft.
- Reporting: If you believe that someone has plagiarized your work or the work of someone else, please report it to the moderators immediately. We will investigate the matter and take appropriate action as necessary. By adhering to our plagiarism policy, we can ensure that our community remains a safe, respectful, and creative space for all members.
Discord Policy
Within our Discord chat, aside from the rules listed above, there are several placed in accordance to the channels of our server.
- Beware of what images you share on the server, while One Piece and many ani-manga have their ecchi moments, you should respect others.
- Refrain from posting manga spoilers anywhere outside of the spoilers channel and its related group.
- So that we keep things clean and organized, use the items command to check your inventory only in rep-balcony or purse-view.
- Refrain from replying in channels such as review-threads, staff members are in charge of it.
- To publish an One Piece Roleplay related artwork in opr-art, make sure the image is "finished", in that it is not a sketch in any form.
- When asking for translations in translation-aid, make sure to tag @ Marys and specify what sort of translation you want: Full Japanese, Double Meaning, Literal Japanese. Feel free to ask for explanations on those.
Image Policy
- Images from DeviantArt and other related websites, any author, require references to be used.
- Certain Video game images are not allowed, specifically, those that are in-game photos or 3D renders.
- Do not pollute an article with gifs. Be reasonable about how many images go on a page.
- Real-life images are not allowed. Do not upload selfies of any kind and do not use your favorite film actor as a representation for one of your characters. Similarly, do not use images of real locations or animals.
- All images should relate to the theme of anime/manga at all times. Comic books and digital arts are acceptable but we ask to use common sense when making your selections. You can not use a Sponge Bob character or Timmy from Fairly Odd Parents, but you could use Poison Ivy or Harley Quinn.
- As we cannot anticipate every possible image a user may find or generate, these rules and subject to change, and staff ultimately has the right to decide what photos do not follow our MoS.
Editing Rules
- This wiki has specific standards for each individual article. Please take it upon yourself to ensure your own work is legible enough to be published. Be alert of grammatical errors at all times, and always strive to improve your own writing abilities.
- For the sake of a more efficient means of organization, please utilize the many tools made available to you by the website. This includes categorizing your articles, using the appropriate infoboxes, and including a prother one piece fandom communities tag.
- When naming an article be mindful of using terms that have no representation within the One Piece universe. Referencing real life countries, nations, religions, organizations, movements, or other conflicts of interest is explicitly prohibited on this site unless already established within the canon of the story as decided by Eiichiro Oda.
- Please refer to the manual of style at all times whenever you are in the process of creating an article. All character pages should contain a minimum number of three sections: Appearance, Personality, and History.
- Use prother one piece fandom communities wiki coding. Broken links and templates should be corrected immediately. Users are strongly encouraged to make use of references.
- Do not edit articles that do not belong to you without permission. Simple grammar corrections, however, are fine.
- An unspoken rule, do not mention other characters and the like without the creator's explicit permission unless citing a scenario which has occurred in a role-play.
Failure to abide to any of the rules above will result in the article being flagged with a Manual-of-Style warning.
AI Rules
- Effective immediately, we are no longer allowing AI writing on the wiki. While we understand it can be a useful tool, it is not a replacement for the real thing. After all, the very core of this hobby of ours is writing, we do not need robots to do that for us! We ask that anyone who has used AI writing on a page and or roleplay removes it and does not continue this practice in the future, as you will receive a warning and be forced to correct this error. The use of AI (Chat GPT, Bard AI, etc.) will not be tolerated when it comes to writing on the wiki. The use of these programs to write a page on your behalf or a roleplay post is prohibited. However, this does not apply to AI art.
Alternative Fandom Rules
To maintain the distinctiveness and integrity of each roleplaying universe, characters created for the One Piece Roleplaying (OPR) cannot be used on other One Piece roleplaying/fandom sites.
- Maintaining Universe Integrity: Each roleplaying universe, whether it's the One Piece Roleplaying Universe or other one piece fandom communities, has its own unique setting, lore, and character dynamics. To preserve the integrity of these individual universes, it's essential to ensure that characters remain exclusive to the universe they were created for.
- Avoiding Cross-Contamination: Introducing characters from one universe into another can lead to confusion and inconsistency within both communities. By enforcing a strict separation between the two, players can fully immerse themselves in the unique experiences offered by each universe without the risk of cross-contamination.
- Respecting Community Norms: Both the OPR and other one piece fandom communities communities have established their own norms, rules, and expectations regarding character creation and roleplaying. By adhering to this rule, players demonstrate respect for the norms of each community and contribute to a more cohesive and enjoyable roleplaying experience for everyone involved.
- Enforcement: Players found to be using characters from one universe in the other will be reminded of this rule and asked to refrain from such practices. Persistent violations may result in further disciplinary action, including warnings or temporary bans, to ensure compliance with the rule and maintain the integrity of both universes.
Duplicate Definition
To ensure that characters are non-duplicates between the One Piece Roleplaying Universe (OPR) and other one piece fandom sites, several key aspects would need to be considered and potentially modified:
- Name: Characters should have distinct names between the two universes to avoid confusion. If a character shares a name with another character from the opposite universe, it would need to be changed to a unique name.
- Appearance: While it's possible for characters to share certain traits or features, their overall appearance should be distinct from characters in the opposite universe. This may involve altering physical attributes, clothing styles, or accessories to ensure uniqueness.
- Backstory: Characters' backstories should be unique and specific to the universe they belong to. Any overlapping or similar elements between characters from the OPR and other one piece fandom communities should be revised to create individualized backgrounds.
- Personality and Traits: Characters' personalities and traits should be develop other one piece fandom communities independently of each other to avoid duplicating existing characters. This includes their motivations, goals, strengths, weaknesses, and mannerisms, which should be tailored to fit the respective universe's setting and themes.
- Abilities and Powers: If a character possesses special abilities, Devil Fruit powers, or combat skills, these should be distinct from those of characters in the opposite universe. Any similarities or overlaps in abilities should be revised or expanded upon to create unique and original capabilities.
- Role and Roleplay Dynamics: Characters' roles within their respective universes should be distinct from each other to avoid redundancy. This may involve adjusting their affiliations, occupations, or roles within storylines to ensure that they contribute uniquely to their respective universes' narratives.
By carefully considering and modifying these aspects of character creation, players can ensure that their characters are non-duplicates between the OPR and other one piece fandom communities, allowing for a diverse and rich array of characters in each universe.
Page Updating
Updating pages can be quite a task sometimes, however, in a shared universe there are certain pages that hold the uttermost importance in regards to being updated.
Canon territories, poneglyphs, among many others, the articles and pages that you go and think:
- "People will interact with this"
- "Oh people would want to know its current status"
- "People need the information of this article"
After all, we tend to look at their pages before anything else, so it would make sense that rather than have to ask somebody about it, you can just check it. You do not need to write the whole article, sometimes a little mention in the introduction can solve the issue.
Registries in particular are a MUST to be updated, as they show what is currently in possession of whom. Whether it is weapon, territory, fruit, and so on.
Story Policy
Pirates that ask out for the presence of Marines in their role-plays must have conscience that they will be subjecting themselves to the possibility of being captured.
However, there will be certain situations and circumstances where a pirate may be capable of avoiding capture, something that will depend on the development of the role-play and the credibility for it to happen. The same applies to the opposite scenario.
If the role-players have discussed beforehand and decided on the stakes themselves, they don't need to abide to the condition above. Although, one of the role-players may come to the Administration if their partner has not respected the stakes planned.
By logic and statements, out and in-universe, there are several prisons which the captured criminals may be sent to. This allows for the possibility of break out, as the prison of Impel Down is heralded to be the world's greatest and safest. Thus, this avoids trivialization of its reputation and makes it more credible for a pirate to escape.
Certain pirates will end up on transport ships from the Marines, giving another situation of possible escape. The contrary is also true, not all Pirates should logically be capable of escaping, however, things will depend on the development of the role-play, role-play which must be done if there is to be an attempt at escaping.
Pirates and Criminals that do not escape and end up in Impel Down will NOT be locked forever. Even then, in order not to trivialize its break-outs, as mentioned above, there will be occasional and group break-outs.
Inactivity
If a role-play partner goes long (a week and beyond) without posting AND without explaining themselves, the user can opt to: report it to the admins; close down the role-play; substitute the partner.
If the partner is active, but, ignores messages and pings/tags from the other party, this is also applicable.
Once the partner explicitly knows of the warning, yet doesn't respond, NPC * action can be taken.
World Government Policy
If, during the course of a roleplay, World Government-affiliated Royalty, a World Noble or any similar entity is harmed in any way by your character, the user cannot refuse pursuit from ANY World Government assigned worker. These RPs cannot have fixed outcomes. These actions must also be reported directly to the Administration team.
Reinforcement Clause
In a role-play where an unmanned (defined as not being controlled by an opposing role-player) World Government facility is invaded by foreign entities, World Government agents of an appropriate rank may be deployed to defend it by users who aren't part of the invading party. The maximum number of World Government agents that enter the RP must match the number of foreign invaders. However, if the World Government's agents are substantially weaker than the invaders (i.e a Yonko crew's elite is faced against Marine Captains), a larger number of World Government agents can be summoned.
Celestial Dragon Encounter Clause
In the event of any roleplay scenario where a Celestial Dragon is struck or killed, the participants must report the incident to the administration within twenty-four hours. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the affected roleplay being stricken as "Non-canon."
The Celestial Dragons are a powerful and influential group within the One Piece universe, and any interaction with them can have significant consequences for the story and the characters involved. To ensure that these interactions are handled appropriately and consistently within the shared universe of the One Piece Roleplaying Fanon, it is important that any incidents involving Celestial Dragons are reported to the administration in a timely manner.
By reporting these incidents, players can help maintain the integrity and continuity of the shared universe and ensure that their roleplay experiences are enjoyable and respectful of the established lore. Failure to report such incidents may result in the affected roleplay being deemed "Non-canon," meaning that it is not considered part of the official story of the One Piece Roleplaying Fanon.
It can be reported via the discord's channel: celestial dragon clause, or directly on an administration's message wall.
Review System
The Wiki's system back in 2015, once again implemented in April 2024. Through it, attaining status, objects, bounty, and a lot else is dependent on the player's effort and the administration's reviewing of it.
This reviewing will be done in our Discord server, yet again reiterating the importance of the user's presence within it, wherein the administration will engage in a cooperative process along the user. Meaning, the user presents the required information and effectively participates in the reviewing itself, similar to an interview:
- A specific time can be arranged for certain reviews.
- Questions will be asked and addressed live.
- Each review will have its own space.
- Not all reviews will require the entire administration.
This way, both the staff and userbase will ensure more control over the quality of the ongoing stories and their progression.
Territories
Acquiring a canon territory without a role-play requires reviewing, wherein the user has to show their intent, ideas, and explanations for why they wish to own it.
Owning it means one is responsible for the current events and possible changes done to said territory.
Twenty Kingdoms & Canon Families
Due to how scarce the original twenty kingdoms of the World Government are (by virtue of the name, there can only be twenty), one must apply for their territory to be a member of the original twenty.
They are considered extremely important in regards to their backgrounds, be it with their sheer size, economy, or military, something that sets them apart from most islands. After all, the World Nobles are descended from the kingdoms that managed to topple a world power, therefore, when applying, such traits are taken into account.
At the moment the creation of Figarland Family members is prohibited until announced otherwise.
Devil Fruits
Prohibited Fruits
- Mizu Mizu no Mi: No water based fruits may be created. Because it would essentially negate the weakness all devil fruit users are given, regardless of water amount or usage.
- No fruit users are allowed to consume a second fruit, even if their first or second ones are artificial.
- Those with an ability like that of the Yami Yami no Mi (Dark-Dark Fruit), as in, fruits that can nullify Devil Fruit powers, are not allowed.
- Toki Toki no Mi: Because of how the Time-Time Fruit works (along with our wiki policy to NOT role-play in the future beyond the current present) by jumping forward in time, it is unclaimable.
Fanon Devil Fruits
- See also the associated pages: Devil Fruit, Paramecia, Zoan, Logia.
While two of the same fruits cannot exist, there is an exception towards elemental orientated fruits of certain Paramecia and Logia classes, along with some others. So long as the new fruit is created with a different name from the original and an element different enough from its look-a-like (such as Concrete being different from Earth), so long their techniques are not copied from the original, the fruit will be permitted.
Failing to abide by this is frowned upon and the user will receive a warning for each time.
If one wishes to create a fruit of the same element, then they may do so as long as the name is different and the approach to techniques and use is different per user. If one wishes to undertake a different approach to this idea, ACE's exist on the wiki. They are artificial fruits, much like SMILEs, that possess several drawbacks.
Reviewed Types
The following fruit types all require review:
- Mythical Zoan, given not only their status of rarest, but their power and the rules we defined sections below.
- Artificial Paramecia
- JOKER, attempted copies of Paramecia, but as biological abilities, with a 80% chance for eaters to simply become stronger, 15% to grow in size, and 5% to acquire a Paramecia-like power.
- Green Blood, Vegapunk's substitute for Paramecia copies, circumventing the need for a replicated fruit. Instead, the powers are copied via blood transfusion of the original user into a cloned individual (their clone or otherwise). Copies of another author's fruit also require their permission.
- Artificial Zoan
- Artificial Logia
- ACE, because of the drawbacks behind them, either leading to one's death or loss of body part.
Admins Aru and Ash respectively lead the reviews on JOKERs and ACEs.
For new variants of Artificial Fruits to be created, a lengthier review is necessary, where the user presents:
- How they were created.
- Why they were created.
- The method which they work through.
- The differences from other types.
These points are requirements, since creating another variant is not only a complicated task, and creating one that works the same as another is unnecessary.
Mythical Zoans
As officialized by this thread: Thread:21247 dated from January 9th of 2019, and with evidence from Canon materials, along the physiological abilities of the animal they turn into, a Mythical Zoan will only be allowed to have one mythical power and one major physiological ability.
They can be reviewed by the admins themselves inside the Discord server.
For examples on abilities:
- Canon: Marco's Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix gives him the normal features of birds such as talons, claws, flight with wings, and the power to encase himself in regenerative flames.
- Fanon: Fukuoka Koyuki's Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: Tsuchigumo grants her the normal features of a spider, fangs, web generation, venom, and the power of Anima.
To explain what are those "mythical powers" and "physiological powers":
- The Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu allows its user to turn into a dragon whose mythical ability is breathing different elements, which they can also use in other ways. On top of that, as an eastern dragon, they are able to create "Flame Clouds" in order to fly, something that can be used to make other things "fly" as well.
- These two abilities can both count as separate powers, however, what is notable about the clouds is that they are a physiological ability. A fact that can be seen with Kaido beginning to tire out from sustaining Onigashima, whereas Kozuki Momonosuke (who essentially has the same fruit) is barely able to hold out Onigashima with his own clouds.
- Effectively, your Mythical Zoan can have "more" than a single power, but this other power must be further tied to their physical ability.
Artificial Fruits
Canon Devil Fruits
- See also the associated category: Canon Devil Fruits.
Because we are set in a time period in which 50+ years have passed since the conclusion of the original One Piece manga, Canon Devil Fruits have become available to the users of this community.
However, that is not to say that there are still no restrictions; several fruits from the main series will be prohibited for various reasons. Naturally, in order to gain the ability to utilize a canon devil fruit, permission must first be granted by one of the administrators.
After permission is given to the user, they ought to register the Canon Fruit in the Devil Fruit Registry in an organized manner. This must be done within a week of permission being granted.
A lot of the rules we have implemented were for out-of-characters fairness, but also to make the story more consistent. Many devil fruit claimers fail to realize that their constant claims can interrupt someone else's story:
- How can your character eat their fruit as a child considering that four other people have eaten it in 1584?
With that in mind, every user will be allotted up to 3 Canon Devil Fruits total, you may not have more than those 3.
- For those of you with more than 3 already, you will be allowed to create a fanon version/variant of the fruit, so that your character maintains consistency.
- You are allowed to choose which fruits you want to keep and which not.
- Extra slots will be removed.
From now on, Inactivity is defined NOT by the fruit usage, but by the wiki author.
- This means that while you are actively roleplaying and contributing to the site, a canon fruit cannot be taken from you.
- Canon fruits are no longer "up for grabs" after three months of going unused. Instead, fruits can only be taken from a user who has left the wiki, or other extreme circumstances.
- Fruits may still be traded and given away. A review thread must be posted for every claim, drop, and trade of any canon fruit. Failure to do so will force the fruit through a raffle.
- If the fruit has been debuted in roleplay, its user must die before the trade/drop takes place. This means the death must be fully roleplayed PRIOR to putting up a review thread, and the roleplay involving the death must be linked in said thread. Admins reserve the right to deny any application they feel does not properly contribute to the story.
In other words, do not claim a fruit, regret it, and write a super short (2,000 bytes) roleplay with your character dying. It needs to be meaningful in some way. While your character may die at any time, you must:
- Have the fruit for a minimum of four months;
- OR have completed three fully-fleshed-out roleplays: no solo roleplays; and starting after or on the date you claimed the fruit) with any character before you are allowed to trade or drop the fruit.
The prior fruit(s) must be debuted in a completed roleplay before you may claim another.
All devil fruits must be put on the registry upon obtaining them. Failure to do so makes you unable to claim another fruit, and all current fruits and their usage must be put in applications going forward, with their debuted and complete role-play link.
Unregistered fruit issues will be handled on a case by case basis, but the same restrictions will apply.
Abilities
Haki
- Main article: Haki
Haoshoku Haki is said to be an ability that appears in one in every million people within the whole wide world. For this reason, it has been restricted. However, because we want to allow everyone a fair chance, every user will be able to add it onto their character based upon the Review System, where a user has to submit their application and arguments to gain Haoshoku.
Each time a user desires to add Haoshoku to a character, they must apply again. A deceased or undone character will give not allow you to relocate the previously assigned Haoshoku.
Advanced Haki
Certain Haki abilities are also restricted, given the immense difficulty characters can have wielding them, as well as their own rarity. A strong character will not necessarily have any of the advanced techniques purely for being strong, each technique has its own particularity and way of being developed.
Naturally, the advanced techniques of each Haki all require great skill in using the base forms.
- Emission.
- Internal Destruction, only achieved by characters who have proven their ability with Emission.
- Future Sight, particularly hard to achieve, usually attained through difficult battles.
- Coating, which depends on the character possessing and showcasing Busoshoku Emission prowess as well.
- Infusion, which also requires the character demonstrating prowess with Busoshoku Emission.
- Observation Killing, which involves deep knowledge of Kenbunshoku Future Sight.
Specific Haki techniques require their respective author's permission to be used, unless stated otherwise.
Devil Fruit Awakenings
- Main article: Awakening
For a fruit's user to be awakened, the author must request a review, as such an ability is considered the highest point attainable by devil fruit users. Arguments showcasing why said user makes sense to be awakened have to be presented and will be given feedback to.
None of the Artificial Fruits (whose list can be seen in the previous section) are applicable for awakening as of this moment.
Rokuogan
- Main article: Rokushiki
Secret seventh technique and mark of mastery of Rokushiki. This martial art is usually exclusive and directly taught to members under Government organizations, meaning that scarcely unrelated criminals and pirates will be employing it just as easily.
Wielding Rokuogan means that the martial artist has to have proved their skills with all of the other six techniques within roleplay. Furthermore, creating variations and advanced techniques requires the same process.
Voice of All Things
- Main article: Voice of All Things
Another important ability like Haoshoku, Voice of All Things is rare and something to be applied for, the character will be allowed to have it once approved. Each character with its use has to be reviewed, and that includes members of the Three-Eye Tribe, who are rumored in Canon to be able to unlock this ability.
Positions
Aside from the biggest positions (which will be addressed in the subsections), there are many other ones within the One Piece world that are not just held by everybody, taking into account their importance in the series' story. Those mainly include the high ranks of the World Government and the descendants of its founders, for whom the user must briefly present their idea and reasoning for creating.
- CP0 members, the highest ranked of the Cipher Pols and personal bodyguards of the Nobles.
- Holy Knights, Nobles with the highest combat ability and who possess jurisdiction over other World Nobles.
Three Great Powers
- See also the associated pages: Three Great Powers, Marine Personnel, Shichibukai, Yonko.
In order to become a Navy Admiral, Shichibukai, or a Yonko, your character must first go through a reviewing process by the administration staff itself. Characters with accomplishments via role-plays and the such are the ones to be submitted.
Admirals are the three highest ranked and strongest Marines of the group, only surpassed by the Fleet Admiral.
- Acquiring of many Accolades, noting their contribution.
- Recognition among the entire Marine Personnel.
- Recommendation from other high ranks.
Note that, much like the Bounty System for Pirates, Marines can rise through the Ranks after activity and feats in role-plays. This also means that any rank below Admiral is free to be used, promoted, or created.
Shichibukai, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, are pirates or criminals hired to work under the Government, being pardoned of their crimes.
- Individual infamy, bounty or otherwise.
- Contribution to the Government.
Yonko, the Four Emperors, are what their very name says, rulers of a large sum of territories in the New World.
- Important New World territory, as well as a number of them.
- Sizeable crew or group, many of whom need their own renown.
- Notable bounty, acquired from role-playing progress.
- Large scale recognition over their individual abilities.
Underworld
- Main article: Underworld
The Underworld is the most influential network of illegal activity.
Even amid these many networks are individuals and their groups who stand out from the rest, the Underworld Emperors, who are the leads of their respective businesses. For a character to become one, they thus have to:
- Have a major field of business they operate in.
- Demonstrate how and why they are in the lead via role-plays.
Greatest Titles
- See also the associated page: Worldwide Titles.
Titles such as Greatest Swordsman in the World are bestowed upon characters who have been greatly developed and earned their spot, thus requiring a review. If the title is taken, the user can then challenge the current holder of the title for it.
This includes past usages of these titles, meaning a former Greatest Blacksmith in the World.
Said development comes in the form of demonstrating the title's specific skill and becoming renown across the world and wiki. More than just defeating other swordsmen, the greatest swordsman candidate would be displaying what their sword movements can do even amid some war; the candidate for thief would manage more than stealing large sums of money, but also national treasures and relics without getting caught; and so on.
These titles are superlative and really should mean the character is the best when compared to the rest of the wiki's characters in that regard.
Races
The wacky races and species of One Piece are one of its faces, being very distinct in their cultures, appearances, as well as abilities. This also means they usually favor different environments and traits, though still allowing for hybrids of any kind to exist. That said, Hybrids shall not be used as a way to stack these traits for free and should have less capabilities than full blooded characters.
While the majority are free to be used, certain races stand out for their own reasons and status:
- Lunarians require review for each character created, as a nigh extinct tribe with very potent abilities.
- Buccaneer Tribe require review for each character created, given their nigh extinct status. However, they will not be given the "hidden ability" hinted at in canon.
Custom Humanoids
Because of the many diverging factors between races, creating a custom one requires a review, wherein the user will be questioned on said race's capabilities and particularities.
The main points that have to be addressed are:
- Their striking physical trait or characteristic.
- How their abilities, if any, work and their limitations.
- Differences from a similar, existing race, if there is one.
With that, the subsequent races and species can be both balanced and senseful within One Piece's context. Furthermore, like artificial fruit variants, this allows a regulation on the creation of too many races with very similar abilities or ideas.
To create a character from these custom races, one requires permission from their author.
Custom Animal Zoans
Any non-Mythical Zoan fruit with a custom animal species must be applied through the review channel, detailing all basic skills or attributes of the species. That way, those with convenient or unrelated abilities are kept from being made.
This is due to when a user creates a custom animal species, they essentially make it possible for there to exist a Zoan fruit of it.
If approved by the staff, the race and Devil Fruit can be made.
Bounties
- Main article: Bounties
Bounties are given to characters by the userbase once they undergo review, being then approved dependent on their actions in-roleplay.
Overall, they are a very important aspect of the One Piece world and character interaction, considered by many, in and out of universe, as a reward system of sorts. We aim to reflect that on our wiki, attempting to make fair judgements and assignments.
Characters' bounties can not be initially assigned any value by the user alone. As stated above, a user have to have a character with a certain value already, of which 40% can be applied to any other character.
- To explain it: "User" has his character assigned a Bounty of
80,000,000 through their in-roleplay feats, so, they can freely have any of their other characters possess up to 32,000,000. - Once "User" has their character bounty updated to 400,000,000, after a few role-plays, they can assign up to
160,000,000 to any of their characters.
However, while this feature gives one freedom with most assignments, bounties over the 1,000,000,000 threshold still require a review, even if they are within the user's 40%. That specific number is considered elite even within the New World, with it being noted that for a bounty to go up once it reaches that is a rare occurrence.
Accolades
- Main article: Accolades
Akin to Medals, Accolades is the reward system for the members of the Marines, given to them based on their achievements and used as prestige.
Therefore, like Bounties, they will be assigned to a character based on the requested review of their actions inside a role-play.
Through them, even lower ranked characters (for users who wish to promote theirs onscreen) can get specific benefits and unlock use of one time privileges. A specific accolade can be awarded more than once. Eventually, the cumulation of Accolades not only enhances the chances of a character attaining the rank of Admiral, or even Fleet Admiral, but is required for it.
If there is more than one candidate and only a single spot is available, the choice can be decided however the high ranks see fit.
Meito
- Main article: Meito
Meito are Graded Swords, only the first ranks (Grade/Wazamono) can be freely created. In fact, if a user wishes for their sword to be truly renown and rise in ranks, they must role-play to acquire in-universe reputation and apply for a review.
Therefore, the Ryo Wazamono, O Wazamono, and Saijo O Wazamono must be reviewed and approved.
Black & Red Blades
While the method to achieve the status of a Black Blade Kokuto is not concrete, we know that it requires immense skill with the sword, a potent Busoshoku Haki, as well as a weapon of very fine quality. Thus, for a user to acquire one, they have to request a review and showcase their progress in-roleplay to justify it.
The same applies to the Kakuto, with the sole difference being the Haki involved, which is Kenbunshoku Haki instead.
Poneglyphs
- Main article: Poneglyph
Poneglyphs are an extremely important part of One Piece's world, housing historical information and being indestructible.
While their number is limited in Canon, here we allow the creation of not only normal Poneglyphs with information of the author's choice, but new variants of Poneglyphs. That said, not any kind of information makes sense to be included, thus the author will present their idea to the administration in a review.
For any new variant of Poneglyph, the review process is more strict, as the user needs thorough explanations and justifications for the existence of a different type:
- Who made them.
- Why they were made.
- What kind of information they hold.
Finding Poneglyphs is for anybody, but reading and understanding their content is not. The pool of characters with this capability is scarce, given that the biggest justification for one being able to read them was Ohara, which only had one survivor. However, with proper explanations and background in a requested review, a user may be granted Poneglyph reading to their character of choice
Non Player Characters
NPC stands for "Non-Player Character" and usually refers to characters not used a conventional sense.
For our Wiki, "NPCing" shall refer to when an user utilizes an existing character (most of the time, not one they created) regardless of the goal.
