ABILITY SLOTS for your characters will encompass both skills and passive traits, everything from straight on attacks to buffs. These slots should be occupied with special skills and attacks, rather than listing every basic attack your character knows.



Latent abilities are skills & talents available to your character through innate physical capability. The main factors are your characters attributes and race, which outline their physical capabilities. As such, latent abilities should accurately reflect the limitations of the user through feasible skills.

Ex. It would make more sense for an agility attributed character(primary, secondary, or tertiary), to have a speed based ability as opposed to a power attributed character. The agility attributed character is NATURALLY faster than the power based character, their physical attributes allow the character the capability to learn a skill reaching a higher speed.

The example above isn’t to emphasize the power based character is sluggish or slow by any means, but just to emphasize the agility attributed character has the physical capability of reaching those speeds naturally(without a devil fruit or augmenting abilities).



Special abilities are skills and powers stemming from extraordinary means, including devil fruits, cybernetics, rokushiki, and any other martial arts or skills that would grant the user “powers” beyond their physical means.

■ ACQUIRING SPECIAL ABILITIES — You may start with ONE THEME & ONE ABILITY under that set theme, nothing more. The overall theme will have to be explained to set the tone for subsequent abilities. If you did not start with the special ability theme, the style must initially be learned/founded IC. After learning the concept of the theme/first ability, subsequent abilities can either be purchased in the shop or learned IC.

■ TEACHING SPECIAL ABILITIES — A user is considered a master of their special theme once they've learned or attained SIX abilities in the theme. With the six abilities, the user is capable of teaching the theme to another character on screen. Once one ability under the theme has been achieve, the character is free to purchase subsequent abilities.

■ THEME — These special powers must operate within the boundaries of a set theme, which generally revolves around martial arts (e.g. fishman karate or hasshoken), cybernetics and other augmented forms of combat; the user may only begin with one theme—with the potential to expand through in-character growth. While devil fruit are excluded from the limitations of theme, special abilities must accurately reflect your starting theme. Your theme cannot be used to justify a variety of techniques that don't fit under one umbrella concept.

Although special abilities can emulate latent ones, they fail to surpass the innate physical capabilities of latent skills when head to head. However, Devil fruit abilities are excluded from the latent vs special abilities due to the various powers devil fruits may induce.

Ex. Character A has AGILITY as a primary, secondary, or tertiary attribute.
Character B does not have agility as any attribute.
Character A has a high-speed movement for a latent skill.
Character B has a high-speed movement as a non-devil fruit special skill.
Character A’s movement is faster than character B’s.

■ CYBERNETICS — Cybernetics are allowed for all characters. Each cybernetic itself would occupy a special ability slot as opposed to an item slot, cybernetics becoming your starting theme. This is to ensure people don't go overboard racking cybernetics from the start with their characters. As a theme, characters with a single cybernetic are currently unable to have another special ability theme(excluding devil fruit). While cybernetics are allowed from the get go, no character is allowed more than 50% of their body to be cybernetic at a time without being considered more robot than human. Once you reach this point, you're unable to devour a devil fruit. To go past the 50%, one would have to undergo an IC surgery from a particular special character that is to be revealed at a later time.

Percentages by body parts are as follows:

■ Head & Neck - 5%
■ Arms - 10% each
■ Legs - 20% each
■ Torso - 25%
■ Feet - 5% each

There is an item section for your characters, so no your special swords and enchanted weapons will not fall under the range of abilities. Instead, items, even if they have their own powers, will fall under the item category but may have special attributes all their own.YOU MAY NOT START WITH SEASTONE OR DIALS as both must be acquired in-character.
