SETTING!

 The world is split into hundreds of small islands. There are no large continents or countries, however, the islands can be relativley large, but are still islands.

 These islands can be anything, however, each island only has one theme, for instance, a technological island, a winter island, a candy islands etc... You are free to make up anything you wish.

 Technology can be anything you want. There is no limit to this. The main mode of transport in this world is by ship (airships are extremely rare).

 As such, two careers are extremely popular in the world. The first is that of a naval Marine, upholding the law and following their justice for the good of mankind. The other is piracy, doing what they want, when they want, free to roam the seas.

 Please note that if you choose to be a marine, you can be anything ranked BELOW (not including) a Vice-Admiral.

 As for storyline, let's make it up as we go~ ^-^

PS: The currency of the world is "Radis" or "Rds"/"r" for short. For instance:
20 Radis >> 20 Rds >> 20r

Of Magic

Yes, there IS magic to a degree. I shall proceed to explain in detail~

 Each person may posses a maximum of two powers. These can be anything you want, as long as you don't make them over-powered. If you do, I will ask you to tone them down.

 Note one thing however! Magic is not some almighty powerful, ultimate thing. It can be countered with the use of Negacion Stone, a powerful, anti-magic crystal that will nullify and negate all magic in it's range (normally about 1 meter radius), however, this crystal is EXTREMELY rare and just as expensive, so do NOT go using it at every oppurtunity etc... Infact, don't even make it appear much. XD

Stats

 A small addition to this RP is a Stat-system. The system works pretty simply.

 For every post you make, you earn 1 Stat Point + 1 more for your designated Statistic. Let me explain.

In your profile field, you will be asked to choose a Dominant Stat. Whichever one you choose will gain +1 Stat Point per post. You will also receive another Stat Point that can be used to boost any of your other stats.

 Stats work like this:

I will use the Speed Stat for this example.

 If you have a speed stat equal to another persons, you are evenly matched in speed, meaning two people with a Speed Stat of 5 can not outrun or out-maneouvre each other.

 If a person has five more points in their Speed Stat, then they are somewhat faster, but the other person may be able to keep up by luck or by perserverance. If a person has ten points more, then they are far faster and the other person has no chance of keeping up with them.

 In addition to your two primary skills, you may also earn more skills depending on your stat levels, as will be listed below.

The Stats:

Strength: This denotes how much physical strength your character has. The higher this is, the heavier the things you can move and lift are, and the stronger your physical attacks are.
Intelligence: This denotes how much magical power your character has. The higher this is, the more powerful your magical attacks are.
Speed: This denotes how fast your character is. The higher this is, the faster and more agile your character can move and the sharper their reflexes are.
Stamina: This denotes how much energy and endurance your character has. The higher this is, the more damage you can withstand before you must rest or heal etc...

 Note! Everyone starts off with FIVE of each statistic, and 10 of you dominanting statistic. Please update your stats in the your first post! You may also add them in a footnote to your latest post to keep track.

Stat Abilities:

 These are abilities gained when you have enough points in each Stat.

Strength:
25 - Muscleman: You can lift and move anything up to 5 tons in weight.
50 - World Champion: You can lift and move anything up to 20 tons in weight.
100 - Tremor: You can shake the earth with your fists and create large tremors and quakes.

Intelligence:
25 - Aura: Your magic is strong enough to manifest a visible aura (colour of your choosing~ XD). You can also read other people's aura's and find out how powerful they are (sensing power levels etc...)
50 - Sorceror's Gift: Your magic is capable of deflecting even physical attacks.
100 - Grand Warlock: Your magical power is almost god-like. Weak-willed people faint when merely exposed to your aura.

Speed:
25 - Bullet-time: You can move fast enough to dodge bullets.
50 - Flash: You can move short distances in a split second, so that it appears to most people as if you have teleported.
100 - Supersonic: You have the ability to move at the Speed of Sound.

Stamina:
25 - Energy Guru: You can fight for days without rest.
50 - Ironskin: You can withstand the impact of cannonballs with ease.
100 - Invulnerable: There is barley any physical attack that can harm you.

The RP!!

Name: Krudoro Okumu
Age: 27
Appearance: Click Here
Personality: Krudoro is known for his calm and patient attitiude, although he gets tired and bored easilly when he doesn't have something to do and often complains that pirates these days don't try hard enough, which makes his job tedious and boring. He can often be found smoking a cigerette and likes to tease the higher ups of the Marines. He has been put forward for promotion several times, but he has always declined, saying he would rather be out at sea than stuck in some office doing paperwork.
* * * * *
Allignment: Marine
Skills:

"Sir! Are we heading back to base sir?" A Marine said loudly. Krudoro looked over his shoulder at the man, whilst taking another lazy puff of his cigerette, before shaking his head.

"I'm bored." He said simply, before leaping off the ship to the port and wandinerg off. The marine stood there staring at the Commander for several seconds, until another marine walked up to him.
"Where's the Commander?" The marine asked. The first marine shrugged.
"You know him. Walkabouts."
"What? Again? Geez... I wish he'd think things through before wandering off like that..."

 Meanwhile, Krudoro was making his way up the streets of the city, looking around for anything that might interest him. He saw a vendor selling donuts.

"That'll do." He smiled as he walked over and proceeded to buy himself some donuts. As he did so, he noticed people around him falling silent and edging away from the street. Intrigued, Krudoro looked around to see a group of about fifteen men walking down the street towards him.

"Oh..?" He said, looking at the man in the lead. Clearly the men had not noticed him as they proceeded to walk right passed Krudoro. It was then that Krudoro realized he had left his marine jacket back on the ship and so, to most people, he looked like your average civilian.

 As he watched, the man he recognised as Rextor Cruxis, Captain of the Iron Dragon Pirates, walked right passed him, followed by fourteen of his men, all of whom looked fierce and powerful. No wonder the civilians shirked away from them.

 As the last of the men was about to pass Krudoro, he suddenly stopped and looked at the Commander.

"Hey you! Hand those over!" He said, indicating the bag of donuts Krudoro held. Krudoro stared at the man whilst continuing to eat the donuts.
"Hey! Didn't you hear me?! I said hand those over!"
"I heard you. I was just ignoring you." Krudoro said, proceeding on to the next donut. The rest of the pirates had come to a halt now, including Rextor, and were watching the scene with interest.
"Heh, Jason's gonna let loose on another civilian." One of them said with a smile.
"I doubt that." Rextor said quietly, observing the man with the donuts. Jason was apparently growing angry, as indicated by the red in his face. Krudoro was currently eating a third donut and smiling annoyingly at Jason.
"So? Still want a donut?" He asked.
"Damn right I do! Now hand them over, or I'm going to get violent!"
"For a donut? Your captain must really starve you. I feel sorry for you." Krudoro smiled. Jason's face was now a deep purple. Fuming, he drew the large claymore from his back.
"Why you..." He said angrilly, before taking a swing at Krudoro's head. "IF THAT'S HOW YOU WANT IT, I'LL TAKE THEM FROM YOUR DEAD BODY!"
"I doubt it." Krudoro said, looking at Jason.

 There was a few seconds of silence as Jason and the other pirates took in the scene before them. The man had stopped Jason's claymore with his bare hand. He had no weapon, no armour. Nothing. He just held up his left hand and the claymore stopped upon impact. Jason blinked. Krudoro ate another donut.

"I'm assuming you are a grunt? Because you clearly lack you captain's intelligence, or you wouldn't have done that." Krudoro smiled as he withdrew his hand and stepped forward. "Now, be a good baby and take a little nap."

 With that, Krudoro reached forwards and flicked Jason in the forehead. As he did so, there was a loud crash and Jason went flying backwards, smashing into a nearby wall, unconcious. Krudoro walked passed the other pirates, ignoring them and their stunned expressions, pausing briefly before Rextor.

"I came out for a bit of fun, but sadly, I am currently preoccupied." He said slowly, indicating the donuts. "Whatever should I do? It would be a shame to waste them by engaging you in a fight here, Captain of the Iron Dragon Pirates, but then, I can hardly let a wanted man like yourself go free now can I?"

 Another few seconds passed in silence, as Krudoro started on another donut. 

"Well, I think I'll continue with these and think about what I should do next." He said as he turned and started walking back towards his battleship, still eating the donuts.

*Onboard the Kuroyoshi*

"Sir! Where did you go?!" One of the marines said as Krudoro made his way back onboard.
"I bought donuts. Care for one?" He said, holding the bag out.
"I'll pass thanks..."
"I see. Well, that's a shame." He said quietly. "Oh yes, I want you to prepare the cannons and ready the crew. We may have to give chase to the Iron Dragon Pirates soon. They should be docked around here somewhere."
"The Iron Dragons? Are you sure?"
"Quite. I met their captain just now." Krudoro said, taking his seat at the front of the ship once more.
"But... why didn't you arrest them then?"
"Are you kidding me? I was eating donuts..."
"..." The marine stared at Krudoro for a few seconds, before sighing and going to relay his orders to the rest of the crew.
