BEGINNER'S BOOK
This thread exist for the sake of helping you navigate through and better understand the site's systems.

LEARN AS YOU GO
There are a bunch of system pages and it would take a lot to know each and every clause word for word. We don't expect you to do that. Many of the systems are situational or specific to a certain facet of One Piece. It's a diverse world and has a lot going on. Reference systems as you need them and as you encounter them while playing. Most importantly ask questions when you are confused.

CORE SYSTEMS DORIKI TRAITS QUEST
These three systems are the most important ones to be familiar with. Doriki and Traits deal with your character's capabilities on paper. Quest are how you earn both Doriki and Traits.

• Doriki is practically your character's experience points. Doriki is assigned to your character's Attributes which are their statistics and that is what determines their capabilities.
  • How to earn- Doriki is earned as your character makes accomplishments towards their greater goal/aspirations, by completing quests, participating in events, achieving Feats, and participating in unscripted combat.
  • Attributes More information in the Doriki link above.
    • Strength & Power: How hard your attacks hit and the force you can exert with your physical body or non-Devil Fruit powers such as Flying Slashes or Diable Jambe.
    • Endurance & Durability: How resistant to damage you are and your ability to persist in combat for long periods of time via increased Stamina.
    • Speed & Agility: How fast you move and how agile and dexterous you are.
    • Perception & Wits: Your analytical, sensory, and mental abilities.
    • Spirit & Willpower: Strength that comes from within. The ability to fight against the odds, tolerate extreme conditions contrary to your body's limits, and the potency of Haki.
    
    
• Traits show emphasis on certain aspects of a character outside of their stat sheet. They are a character's special abilities like their fighting style, their crafting talents, and let characters cash-in their inherent strengths and weaknesses as quirks with actual beneficial use in rp like their bloodlust or perhaps their greed. 
  • How to earn- Characters will gain and upgrade Traits as they making a showing of said Traits. If you'd like a Trait that shows your character is more tolerant to cold, then you should roleplay out a scenario where your character showcases this and the Trait will be given to them. i.e. Luffy delivering Nami to Dr. Kureha on Drum Island.
  • Origin- All Traits stem from and grow with the character's background, experiences, and/or personal lore namely, their Feats.
  
  
• Quest are the journeys characters embark on and where they have the biggest chance to alter the world and their standing within it.

  • Offer- Quest offer players a Wishlist which allows them to be explicit with the rewards they intend to gain from the scenario. Additionally it allows players to include prestigious NPCs in the Cast of faces they'll be encountering, so in total they can create full-body Arcs that explore and flesh out the world with great rewards and chances to forge or break Relations with NPCs.

MAKING A CHARACTER CHARACTER CREATION
This section will go over the character creation process and the systems that involve character creation.

THE CHARACTER RACE JOBS HISTORY*

• Race- Here you can get information on the available races and their specifics like height, which of the Four Blues they can spawn in, and some lore to set the tone for their environment if you want to use it. Additionally all the Traits listed on that page are free and don't count towards your starting trait total.
  
• A Job is your character's role, occupation, title, etc. It's derived from their lifestyle and doesn't have to be something earns income. Your character's Job is typically where their starting Traits will delve from.
• The History is an optional read, but it can help you write a more immersed character that's embedded into the world if that's what you're looking for. There is over 40 years of detailed history and quite a lot has happened in that span of time.
