WELCOME TO BON VOYAGE!Hiya newbie! So, I bet you're wondering how to get started. Well! The first thing you should do is read our Rules, so you know what does and doesn't go. Then, We should probably talk about...CHARACTER CREATIONAlright! Let’s get you set up to play, yeah? The first thing you’re going to need is our handy dandy Character Application Template. I’m sure you can fill out the sections relating to background, personality, and appearance, but should probably have you pick out your race from our available Playable Races. From here, you'll want to check out our X-Poinz System! It'll cover the essentials of how to earn our site's currency, which you can put toward your character's progression.
While creating your character, make sure they connect with the One Piece universe and adhere to our Narrative Guidelines. There are also particular rules surrounding travelling about the world of One Piece as a result, so please check out the Travel Guide. Any connections with canon characters such as being direct family or significant others is not currently allowed. Exceptions are allowed based on large scale calamitous events (such as Enel's reign over Skypiea) or your character simply being a fan of a famous name (such as Bartolomeo's admiration of Luffy).
Ah, but I feel like I’m forgetting something... oh right!DEVIL FRUITSOh boy, Devil Fruits! Now, obviously, this section is only for those interested in making a Devil Fruit. To get started, you’ll want to look at the Devil Fruit Rules, which has a bunch of helpful info including naming guides, weakness guides, and a handy restricted abilities list. Canon Fruits are available (with some exceptions). Fruits can have Open or Locked permissions, so if you can to share your fruit with the world or reserve it for yourself, you may (with some exceptions). You can find the template here. If you need guidelines on what is and isn’t acceptable for each type of Devil Fruit, check out the guides for the Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia types. We also have SMILEs available! You can also brainstorm ideas on...DISCORDHey, hey! Come on down to our Discord! Members plot and can answer any additional questions you might have after reading this guide. It’s really good fun and we’d love you see you on Discord!CHARACTER PROGRESSION
This section is for those who have a thread or two under their belt. So, let's say you're done with a thread. How do you get XPz for all your hard work? Well, you have to get it graded! You can read All About Grading !
You can buy Aspects, Techniques, and X-Techniques with your freshly earned X-Poinz. You'll find all of the information on those things in the Dojo. You can also purchase ships to carry you or your crew across the seas or bases to build up your own empire in the Galley-La Company!
If you're afoul of the law, you might wanna earn a bounty and put your name down as a serious enemy of the World Government. Fortunately for you, there's a whole How to Earn Bounties guide! It'll let you get a feel for what you need to do to get a bounty. Marines have a similar system via Marine Ranks. Marines earn Promotions instead of bounties.
Whether you're a marine, pirate, or anything in between, you are able to form Crews & Organizations! These groups even earn XPz along with the characters in them that can be spent on ships or even NPCs! NPCs are like followers for a specific character or group. The NPC Agency has all the necessary information on how to purchase one for yourself!
Now, there's one thing we haven't addressed at all really, and that's Haki. That's because your character has to meet certain requirements to even attempt to unlock it. But, if you're curious or are ready to make your first steps into Haki, then you can find it here.
