RANKS
Ranks are the means of bounding a character to a particular power level for as they cannot start off as automatically strong. In some other RPs, such as Freeform RPs, it may be common to see an author begin with a strong character. However, in this type of RP, a Structured RP, every author must build their character-from-the-ground-up.
Think of a Structured RP as a game, a game for authors. It tests your storytelling abilities, writing, and skill when it comes to fighting other authors. Structured RPs help keep things as realistic as possible while still having fun at the same time. So, now let's get into all the ranks we have here.

Rookie Rank: Everyone begins at this at rank, learning the basics, going on to then move up the ranks as they progress. Beginning at this rank, you start off with two talents and a single style of your choice.
(When a character with Rookie speed is demoted, their speed is slowed down to a Rank even lower than Rookie Rank, a rank by the name of Slug Rank. At Slug Rank, characters' actions move even slower than an average joe.)
You are a Rookie and the world is calling you. Go seek out what you want most in this world and have fun.
Junior Rank: The next rank that proceeds Rookie, becoming more accustomed to the world, going on to then start making a name for themselves.
Achieving this rank, you earn two talents, a single super talent, or a second style of your choice instead of a super talent if you so choose.
(A total of a 25k Wordcount worth of Adventures is needed for a Rookie to rank up to Junior.)
(Only Applies to this rewarded Super Talent in particular. You cannot swap out any Super Talent for a second style besides this one.)
You are a Junior and have experienced only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the One Piece world. Continue to voyage across the oceans and further your dream.
Journeyman Rank: The rank that proceeds Junior is known as Journeyman, a rank where most would have now begun to get serious. A Journeyman has experienced a fair amount amidst their journies so far and continues to experience many things as they explore the seas. Journeymen are your intermediate characters of the seas who still have much to learn but have gotten a taste of the world. j
Achieving this rank, you earn four talents and a pair of two super talents for an overall total of seven talents and three super talents (If you chose a Super Talent over a second Style, otherwise it would be two super talents).
(A total of a 50k Wordcount worth of Adventures is needed for a Junior to rank up to Journeyman.)
You are a Journeyman and have gone through many perilous. By this time, you have most likely earned a name for yourself and are on the road to achieving your dream. Keep pursuing the dream in which you seek out. There is still much to be learned.
Expert Rank: The rank that proceeds Journeyman is none other than the Expert. An Expert has experienced lots amidst their many journies and continues to experience many things as they explore the seas. Experts are your stars of the sea.
Achieving this rank, you earn eight talents and a pair of four super talents for an overall total of fifteen talents and seven super talents (If you chose a Super Talent over a second Style, otherwise it would be six super talents).
(A total of a 75k Wordcount worth of Adventures is needed for a Journeyman to rank up to Expert.)
You are an Expert and have gone through the most perilous of journies to be had, learning a lot as a result of them. By this time, you have most likely earned a name for yourself and are on the road to achieving your dream. Keep pursuing the dream in which you seek out. There is still much to be learned.
Master Rank: A rank in which stands tall among them all. Those who reach this rank are renowned as Masters in whatever they do, whether it be cooking, swordsmanship, or etc. They have explored the oceans far and wide and continue to do so for whatever reason or goal they may have. Masters may occupy some of the highest positions in the world such as Fleet Admiral, Yonkos, etc. .....
Upon achieving this rank, you earn sixteen talents and eight super talents, for a total of thirty-one talents and fifteen super talents (If you chose a Super Talent over a second Style, otherwise it would be fourteen super talents).
(A total of a 100k Wordcount worth of Adventures is needed for an Expert to rank up to Master.)

You are a Master and have reached your best point, your strongest point. As a Master, you excel at the things you have invested your time into. A Master has made their name known throughout the world. Being a Master, you may still be chasing after your dream or may have already achieved it. However, don't think there is nothing left for a character of your caliber. There is plenty for you to still to do, discover, and etc. Journey onwards onto what you want most in this world and seize it.
In regards to Total Wordcount, it is important to note that all previous acquired Wordcount in your last Rank is completely disregarded when it comes to the Total Wordcount of the new Rank you are on.
Socials give half Wordcount, Travels give half Wordcount, though, Tasks, Adventures, Events, Duels, and etc give full Wordcount.
Questions and Answers: Now, after having gone through all of those Ranks, you may have some questions. So, this is the section where I answer your questions. Let's get right into it.

- Question: In One Piece, wouldn't East Blue Luffy be stronger than someone like East Blue Ussop but wouldn't they also be the same Rank if we put them in this AU world? Answer: Yes, East Blue Luffy would be indeed stronger. However, Ranks aren't the only means of getting stronger. There are a plethora ways of getting stronger. Authors/RPers can Stamina Train a character, teach them a new Talent through a Talent Adventure, have them consume a Devil Fruit, and much more.
- Question: Depending on a Power stat's Rank, how much weight can a character lift? Answer: At Junior Rank Power, a character can lift twice their bodyweight and it multiplies more by 1 every Rank. So, for example, an Expert character can lift quadruple their bodyweight. Also, the farthest the weight can be thrown scales by Rank, with 10 meters starting at Rookie and the amount increasing 10 meters per Rank.
