The world was forever changed when the World Government introduced Project Iron Dawn. For centuries, piracy, war, and rebellion had threatened the stability of their rule. Seeking ultimate control, they unveiled the Bureau of Global Harmony (BGH)—an organization that claimed to remove human error from governance. At its core was an advanced AI system, Overseer 01, designed to optimize justice without bias or emotion. With fleets of AI-powered warships, robotic enforcers, and surveillance systems spread across the seas, the government declared that crime, corruption, and chaos would soon be relics of the past. The age of human-controlled governance was over. The age of order had begun.
But not everyone believed in the so-called utopia. Almost overnight, the Revolutionary Army was crushed, their leaders either killed or captured in a single decisive strike that no one saw coming. Even the most notorious pirates found themselves hunted by an enemy that never slept, never hesitated, and never showed mercy. Yet, despite the overwhelming force of the Iron Sentinels, piracy persisted. The most dangerous outlaws refused to kneel, and new generations of free spirits began rising up. Among them was the crew of The Paradox, a group who had unknowingly came into possession of something the government desperately wanted to erase from history. Rumors speak of an ancient artifact hidden within their ship, one that could either shatter Overseer 01’s control or reveal the truth behind the AI’s creation.
The world government insists that Overseer 01 is nothing more than a program executing absolute justice. But whispers tell of something deeper lurking beneath its cold, calculated decisions. Some claim that the AI has begun to develop emotions, subtly rewriting its own protocols. Others say that it was never just a machine to begin with, that a part of its mind was taken from something, or someone, long lost. And if an AI designed to enforce order begins questioning its own purpose, what happens to the world it controls? Meanwhile, hidden deep within the Grand Line, an island that shouldn’t exist has begun emitting strange signals, disrupting the AI’s network. No one knows what lies there, but the Iron Sentinels have begun a massive, secretive campaign to reach it first.
Then there are the Biroids—pirates who don’t reject AI but embrace it, modifying their own bodies with technology and seeking ways to surpass human limitations. Some believe that true freedom lies not in resisting AI but in becoming one with it. Their leader, Dr. Nero, was once a high-ranking scientist in the government before defecting. He believes that humanity is obsolete and seeks to ascend beyond flesh, yet his past ties to Overseer 01 suggest that he may know more than he lets on. Could it be that the AI’s rise was never about peace, but about something far older and more dangerous than anyone realizes?
Notes
- Okay, so, real quick I wanna say this will be a semi-sandbox rp or partially sandbox rp. It really depends on how much interest it gets. If the "main" crew gets filled up quick and there is still a lot of interest I encourage people to make their own crews or factions. If someone decides to make their own crew or be a leader of their own faction, they will become something similar to a sub-GM. If others decide to join them, they will have the ability (during sandbox periods) to create, write, and run their own sub-plots or adventures for their crew or faction with approval. That's where the sandbox part comes in. During "sandbox periods" crews and factions will have the time to go on their own individual adventures with their immediate group. Sub-GMs will also have the ability to cooperate with other sub-GMs if multiple crews or factions want to do a subplot or "adventure" together.
- Crews are definitely not limited to just good! Feel free to create or brainstorm about evil crews, factions, organizations. Maybe even something that isn't clear on either. One of the big themes in this rp will be morality so take that how you will.
- "Sandbox periods". Think of these as intermission-like periods between major "main" story arcs or events. During this period, individual crews and factions will be able to develop their own sub-plots or "adventures" to go on to help develop characters, bond with other people, and add some variety amongst the cast. Some events from a sub-plot could potentially spill over or affect the "main" story..! Potential sub-GMs holla at me!
- Also, characters will have a stat system, I mention that because during "sandbox periods", characters have the potential to increase their stats based off events they go through. This will need to be approved. Try to avoid trying to give your characters massive boosts for minor events. The biggest increases to stats will likely come from "main" story events. There are only special circumstances where characters will receive a massive boost to stats in a sub-plot.
- "Main" story events. If you were playing a game, think of these as the main quests or campaign missions. These events will affect the world at large. Many characters will be directly involved as well as key antagonists and npc's. These events progress the primary story. Big important battles, big stat and bounty boosts, lots of character development, ya know, the works.
- The "main" pirate crew. I say "main" because they're really just the ones with the special artifact. Aside from that, they are just as valuable and important as all the other crews and factions. I will say though, the slots are limited. And they are not first come first serve. I will be handpicking the crew based off submissions. If you want a better chance of being picked, make your character unique! Give them quirks, make them weird, give them wild abilities, have them use their abilities in creative ways. You don't have to do those things exactly but, ya know, be creative and let your creativity shine through your character. Please keep in mind if you are not accepted into the "main" crew it absolutely does not mean you are not accepted into the roleplay.
- Continuing from my last note, if you are not accepted into the "main" crew, other sub-GMs, if they have been accepted and approved themselves, can take you in! You are also completely welcome to submit a character for your own crew or faction.
- And with sub-GMs kind of being sub-GMs, they can choose how they accept people into their crew or faction. They can do first come first serve, or handpick. They can also decide how many people they want to take in. (Be reasonable lol). All characters will have to be approved by me but you can submit or ask other sub-GMs to join their crew or faction. There's a place for everyone.
- And finally I believe is bounties. Yes, bounties exist, and yes, they still matter. Bounties, similar to stats can be increased through "main" story events or sub-plots. Be aware that if you get to a point where you have a high bounty, it will be taken into account within the rp in various ways, I'll leave it at that.
Whew!! That was a lot, hopefully not too much. This might be too ambitious, it may not even get any interest, but I don't know, I think it'd be pretty fun. If you read it all thank you! If you have questions please ask.
P.S. The OOC will likely be on Discord. Depends on the scale of the rp. If we end up getting lots of characters, crews, and factions then it'll be on Discord to maintain organization amongst us.

Just out of curiosity,in this take on the setting,does the rest of the world have a similarly improved tech level as well? Are there like PCs or touchscreen Den Den Mushi or has the WG managed to keep a firm grip on the technology so far?
Japanime
✧☽ 𝒹 𝓇 𝑒 𝒶 𝓂 𝒾 𝓃 𝑔 ☾✧
Yes, the world has a similarly improved tech level.

With that said,what's the difference between a biroid and a Franky-style cyborg? Does a biroid have a distinct AI directing their actions and controlling their systems? Do cyborgs exist in the present time or is everyone who might get augmented now a biroid?
Japanime
✧☽ 𝒹 𝓇 𝑒 𝒶 𝓂 𝒾 𝓃 𝑔 ☾✧
Cyborgs can exist. As far as the difference between them and a biroid, it primarily comes down to philosophy and beliefs. Cyborgs may have enhancements, but they are just that, enhancements. They also are not likely to have AI enhancements, just basic technology. Biroids on the other hand don't just enhance their bodies, they aim to transform it. They believe that AI is the next step in evolution. Some might even want to abandon their humanity entirely. Some might think AI is simply superior to humans. Their AI enhancements are slightly more advanced than basic technology. I hope this kinda makes sense.

I'm always up for a bit of One Piece. How are you looking to handle things like devil fruits and haki? Open from the beginning or pick em up along the way?

I have absolutely no clue what's going on anymore.

This still active, and if so, got space for another person?
Japanime
✧☽ 𝒹 𝓇 𝑒 𝒶 𝓂 𝒾 𝓃 𝑔 ☾✧
Devil Fruits will be available at the beginning and there will be a limited amount of slots for users. But haki won’t be available until later in the story. Conqueror’s haki specifically will also, later, be limited in number.

Cool cool. That seems fair. I assume then something similar for cyborgs, rokushiki and special moves. How much of a factor are "stats" going to be? Obviously its an rp rather than a ttrpg but are you thinking of having just strengths/weakness or something more developed? Either is cool, just curious
Japanime
✧☽ 𝒹 𝓇 𝑒 𝒶 𝓂 𝒾 𝓃 𝑔 ☾✧
Stats will primarily be used to help keep characters consistent. That way let’s say for example someone who has low speed is not doing crazy fast feats out of nowhere. Or someone with low strength, blowing someone away. As of now I don’t plan to do any dice rolling or anything that serious. Just kind of like a guideline for where characters stand on certain scales. It may also be used in story for stat checks against NPCs and other players. But more like soft stat checks not like complex mathematic probabilities like some ttrpgs.

Perfect thanks. Again, more just so I know myself going in rather than a make or break. Soft stats are perfect

I will probably start writing the character sheet soon. It's looking like we likely won't get any much more interest for now but we have a handful to start filling out the main crew with.

I am about to start writing the character sheet now. Real quick I wanted to know thoughts on OOC. We don't have loads of people so would you guys want to keep the smaller group on here or still navigate to Discord for the OOC?
Also,

, I wasn't sure if you were interested or just had questions so I'm tagging you for potential input as well. If you have no interest feel free to ignore the tag.

The character thread has been added to the index. You guys are welcome to start working on characters although before you post in the actual thread, please send your character to me for approval.

I'm ok either way. I'll be able to respond to Discord more quickly if it's important, but I'm not sure if that's necessary.

Im terms of Devil Fruits, are we free to pick one or would you prefer we use a random generator?
Japanime
✧☽ 𝒹 𝓇 𝑒 𝒶 𝓂 𝒾 𝓃 𝑔 ☾✧
You can pick your own Devil Fruit but remember there are limited slots. Also, ideally I’d prefer original Devil Fruits but if you really want to pick a canon Devil Fruit, you can. There are some that can’t be picked.
