One Piece: Grand Line 3 Point 5/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


The Players

Luke (Luffy)

A gamer who lives by the Rule of Fun. Once he heard their new campaign setting had pirates in it, he promptly derailed his original character and came up with Luffy. Leaps before he looks, acts before he thinks, but can back up his craziness with surprisingly thorough knowledge of the game rules and mechanics.

Cory (Roronoa Zoro, formerly Coby)

Luke's best friend, whom he's been gaming with since high school. A dedicated power gamer, he's all about crafting characters capable of killing anything they come across, twinking them out with obscure third party supplements and flaws he figures won't ever come up.

Though he intended to use Zoro's design from the start, the GM disallowed it, sticking him with the predesigned Coby instead. Zoro didn't even have a name until he decided to swipe the one the GM was using for an NPC.

  • Butt Monkey: The GM just loves punishing Cory.
  • Chaotic Neutral
  • Half Human Hybrids: Created Zoro as 1/16th Fishman, 1/16th Giant.
  • Heroic Comedic Sociopath
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Brought plenty of third-party books along to justify how much he twinked out Zoro. The GM now uses those books to design his own Mooks and villains.
    • Gave Zoro tons of Flaws he expected would never actually come into play. Unfortunately for him, the GM loves to hit those as much as possible.
  • The Munchkin: Gamebusting Min-Maxer with plenty of Psychopath thrown in.
  • Plot Armor: The GM put this on Coby against Cory's will, since Cory wanted to kill him off quickly and roll up a different character.
  • The Real Man
  • Undying Loyalty: Took the 'Loyalty' flaw figuring it'd never come up since Zoro answers to no one. At least, not until he agreed to join Luffy's crew.
  • You Killed My Father: Alluded to; Zoro took the Blood Vengeance flaw seven times. (The GM bargained it down from 36.)

Natalie (Nami)

A new attention to their gaming group, Natalie is a dedicated roleplayer who put a lot of thought into her character and her background. A lot of thought. As in "That's not a character sheet, that's a novel!" amount of thought. Provides plenty of self-narration.


The Game Master

The GM

The guy in charge. One Piece: Grand Line 3.5 is actually his first attempt at serving as the gamemaster, but he's not inexperienced, just used to being on the other side of the screen. An expert Munchkin himself, he's running things with Luke and Cory's tendencies well in mind, ready to exploit their every weakness.

  • Flaw Exploitation: If a character has a Flaw or other weakness in their design, you can bet the GM's going to hit that as many times as possible.
  • Kick the Dog: Deliberately creates his villains to be as nasty as possible because "with you guys, I can't be too subtle."
  • Killer GM
  • Large Ham:

Natalie: Did you really have to jump up on the table like that?
GM: Yep.

Cory: Hoooooly Crap. The GM just opened up three bags of skittles.


Others

Rika (Medaka)

Cory's cousin. First heard from when she calls during the Orange Town arc. Since Luke and Cory go way back and she visits fairly frequently, she's on good terms with Luke, too. Has been considering applying to the same college, so she's been asking Cory for more information about it.
