Historical Mode

[EriChar]

Mission mode eh? A nice little excuse to get together with people outside your ordinary RP circle, and kill time where needed. It's marvellous, and has given me an idea.

Why do we come here? Because we love One Piece! We wanna RP the series with reckless abandon, and what would we like more to RP than what has already happened? Who among us hasn't had a fantasy about inserting a character into a canon situation, and seeing what happened? It's what we did with the Whitebeard War, so why should it be something that we do only once? Wouldn't it be fun to insert your character like a merry Mary Sue into any of the canon arcs, and see how things would have been different with you involved? Go onnn, admit it, you'd love that! You could run through events side by side with your favourite canon characters, OR maybe twist events to something a little more to your liking thanks to your intervention? Plots would start with the 'base' that canon dictates, and take a path that you story leaders dictate!

So, that is my proposal. Like we have mission mode, I would like to put forward a suggestion that we have a sort of historical/Mary Sue mode where people can get together and run through story parts and arcs alongside the canon characters! Canon's would be treated like NPC's in these kinds of situations, unless those with the characters auditioned wish to take part. Rewards would be given out at the same rate as missions, with a heavy emphasis on time killing and enjoying something from the series.

So... Thoughts?

I FREAKIN LOVE THIS IDEA ZOMGOD.

Sounds interesting. The only point I see as a source of trouble is the grading. If you want to grade it like a mission, then the “Mary Sue” acting of your characters would be something that would normally get a serious reduction of bonus points. And yet you imply it to be part of the History Mode. Unless you mean it in a complete different way?
Not a thing I see as a real obstacle though. I’m pretty sure there will be people interested in doing such Historic arc and the small details can be worked out in a reasonable way.

Up-voted by the legendary bum... even if I dislike canons.

I think what Char means in reference to "Mary Sue" is that it'd be like those Mary Sues that like to make themselves important alongside canon characters as if everyone else would find their involvement as cool as they do. Since this is a mode that allows said actual involvement in canon events, it'd be sort of like our very own "Mary Sue Mode."

I like the idea. I always wondered what the Whitebeard War would've been like with a Silent Fruit sniper on either side, as a Shichibukai (Daibukai) or an affiliate of Whitebeard, granted she were the appropriate level to handle herself amidst the War of the Best. This'd be great to add to the new OOC RP board as a non-combat oriented thing to do there.

Questions, would complete story deviations be frowned down upon, are starting premises meant to be congruent with the show (for example, if you were stranded with Sanji and Zeff, would the participating character be their own age or a child as well), and would we have a list or would you just label whatever you like as a Historical thread?

[EriChar]

Story deviations are encouraged, and you can either take the role of the main characters, or work alongside them? Like you could either be a customer on the Baratie when that stuff happened, or have yourself in Luffy's role?
