Looking for RP ( ﾟヮﾟ)

[aideyn]

Ahoy!

My name's Aideyn and I'm looking for a group to get involved with or even a one off RP so that I can get started on this site properly!

My only character currently is Callia Treven, a life-long thief with a hate-boner for the World Government and Marines, but she's a little too self-focused to be a revolutionary at present (maybe that'll change in the future, but for now--yeah).

I've been toying around with the idea that someone tossed out in the chat box about her being a thief for hire, and if you have any cool ideas where that would be a good catalyst then I'm down for that. Otherwise, she was born and raised in the East Blue, but is looking to leave for a different Blue because of Backstory Reasons^TM. So I can literally have her meet you in any of the four Blues.

Ultimately I think my goal is to find her a chaotic-neutral pirate crew, that aren't looking to make sure their whole crew are super great fighters (she's way more of a sneaky fighter, and would prefer not to fight unless the odds are stacked in her favor), I do plan however, for her to be a pretty great cook once she is given more opportunity to be in a kitchen. 


Hit me up if you wanna plot!

I might be down for that, if only to finally get some use out of this character. Was supposed to join a crew with him, but so far both crews that wanted him disappeared. The character I could use (one is occupied and one is marine, so not the best fit) is Simon Silvers. He's not really tied to any side since his aspiration is just looking for the trail that leads him to a book he has to find. Not really on the side of law, even if a bit lawful. Though it'd be easy to write some justification for him to partake in thievery.

I planned on starting him somewhere in West Blue, but I'm open to other ideas. I'd just prefer not doing another character in South Blue. This would most likely be a one-off teamup since Simon isn't that interested in being a pirate.

Well, if you'd like to go the 'thief-for-hire' route, how about a misplaced clue from his old master that was taken by someone since it was inscribed on something of value. Maybe he tried to get it back legitimately but the person flat out ignored him/turned him down?

I don't know what you had in mind for the clues to be, but if you'd like to do something with Simon's story that's what popped into my mind first. If you don't like that we could do general shenanigans at a tavern if this is just a one-off thing. Maybe a little gambling? Magical slight of hand versus pickpocket slight of hand? Or if you like both of those perhaps that can be how they meet? IDK, just spitballing!


If anyone else in the West Blue would like to plot, I'd love to hear from you, though after this jaunt in West Blue I think it'd be easy to have her decided to skedaddle out of the West Blue into North or South if no one else is in West Blue atm.

I like the idea of them meeting by gambling, only its less about the cards and more about both trying to potentially catch the other one cheating. Maybe the whole table knows this and the whole point is to out-cheat the other person without being caught.

And so far I had no ideas on the character. Having one of the clues misplaced is a good idea. Or maybe he was to actually break in unseen to prove his skill with tricks and illusions. Maybe its not that Simon hires Callia, but both find out they're after the same target. Possibly one less reputable so Simon won't have issues with the theft.

Though if Blue doesn't matter, how about swapping to North Blue and island of Lyneel since I couldn't find one fitting in West Blue. Though if you think one of them fits, I'm open for ideas.

[aideyn]

North Blue is fine with me! What's the basic outline you'd like to go with?

They both arrive, meet at the tavern while trying to gamble, if someone mentions the Very Valuable Thing^tm in question Callia can set out to steal it. If you want her to succeed and not him, he could discover she's a devil fruit user and use that as blackmail to have her give him the ... valuable thing, like maybe he's standing there cloaked and he's about to swipe it when the house cat who he thought was just a normal house cat transforms into the woman who was trying to rob him blind at the card table earlier. Or if you want him to be successful stealing it first Callia can attempt to swipe it from him.

[Greil9]

I think its easiest to start if maybe Callia is trying to "rob" people by cards this time, though no one has allusions that the game is fair. She's just better at cheating. Then this high-class brat (Simon) walks in looking for food so everyone thinks he's in the wrong place. People actually encourage him to play and see him be robbed of his money, only for the two to actually have a really even game. Though Simon might win the last hand by resorting to a risky gambit with his fruit, only for Callia to get back at him by swiping his silver pocket watch in the aftermath.

Lead that to Simon noticing and giving chase, using his fruit to a more extreme degree to get his property back but Callia is simply faster and gets away. Or she uses the devil fruit to sneak off.

Later both make an attempt for the same area, though with different targets. They step on one anothers toes in the task, almost getting both of them caught. Only once both realize trying to work against one another will fail, they co-operate and succeed.

I can also see few nice opposites with these two. One is a cat, one carries around rats. One's child of streets, one was raised in luxury.

:3 I like it!! So want me to start and set the scene for the tavern/game? I'm totally cool with Callia losing the card game to a illusion with fruit gambit, though if it's an even game she probably wouldn't go ALL IN on the last round, since she's more about making money with lower risk, but I can definitely see it being a bit more than he put in to the whole game. 

And, being defeated and unable to figure out HOW (that part would bug her the most I think), she'd totally swipe his pocketwatch. Maybe getting him a congratulatory drink? She'd def use her devil fruit to sneak away, no one ever looks for the cats.

I also like the different targets, a house with a fancy clue would have loads of other fancy things to steal. Maybe some of the npcs could mention the wealthy house? Like they saw Simon near there and assume he's rich blood when really he was just scoping out the place. And Callia assuming they're correct would go look at the fancy house they're talking about for her own cat-burglary needs. 

Lemme know and I'll start a thread in Lyneel asap!

[Greil9]

I think they can assume he's rich blood form just seeing him. The way he dresses, his manner of speech and the aforementioned expensive watch. Callia could just have heard the unsightly rumors that the place belongs to a major marine financial backer who supposedly has been part of some not-so-legal dealings with them, so she wants to both find the evidence and clean house.

His final cheat at the start would be "my cards are almost a royal flush (or other really good hand), but I'm missing one card since she got the better of my cheat in the last deal. I can overlay the real card with an illusion, but if she has or discarded the one I need I'm boned. Gotta hope against hope this works." Though he will be pissed at Callia for stealing it since it was a gift.

As for his target, it'll be stashed inside an antique pipe his mentor lost in a poker game. 

So I'm ready to start when you are. We can iron out the details later if need be.
