CHARACTER GUIDE
so you've decided to make a character here on set sail! excellent! this thread will hopefully guide you through the process and make things a bit easier for you!
first, make sure you are familiar with the site rules. these detail some important topics, such as how many characters you may have, as well as the site's atmosphere. they are essential to the site, so take a look!
second, head to the claims forum and claim your reserves in any thread that is applicable to your character. be sure to include your OOC name with any claim! especially important are the face claim and devil fruit claim threads, stickied at the top of the forum. note that some spots are limited! and remember, if you are claiming any devil fruit or canon position you must adhere to the activity guidelines as detailed in the rules thread. all claims last five days.
third, find the application here and begin working on your character. keep in mind, your character should be strong enough to survive in the Grand Line. for a canonical point of reference, your power should be around the strawhat's strength circa the alabasta arc. your character, of course, can be weaker or stronger if they have a canon position warranting a higher level of strength.
also, note that should the canon reveal a devil fruit's weakness, your profile may need to be edited to follow these guidelines. this is especially notable for devil fruits showcased in the current "Dressrosa" Arc of the manga.
within their fighting style, you have complete creativity and do not need to post specific techniques. however, special forms such as luffy's gear second or chopper's rumble balls need to be bought from the shop.
finally, once your profile is done, post in the notification thread for a staff member to review!
