User:Gourd Roger

Hello guys! My name is Gourd Roger. I am a long-time fan of One Piece from the Philippines. I joined this wiki on January 31, 2014 as xxRaderzxx which was also my username when I debuted in Wikia as an editor to the Wasteland Empires Wiki in 2012, only in a different way of spelling it. I am currently 17 years old and hell yeah.

My main reason for joining the Sea of Fools since yes, I have no ideas left in the Ship of Fools (the parent wiki) since almost all of them are taken. So as you see, I only have several pages about places and civilians in there. Now, I currently have nearly 900 edits in over 80 pages.

So while I am here, EXPECT RANDOM CRAZINESS OR ME FREAKING OUT.

All subpages
I copied the layout of other users from the One Piece Wiki that's why by far, this username is the only one with a subpage empire. Signatures: Others:

Behind the (Pseudo)nym

 * Gourd Roger came from the Latin form of the Japanese translation of Gold Roger. (Gorudo Rojaa)
 * Raderz is simply Raiders without an "I" and the "s" replaced by a "z". This was a reference to the Raiders, a punk-ish antagonistic group from the Facebook game Wasteland Empires. (Don't forget to add the "xx"-es on both sides). I used to be an active editor there, then I stopped playing the game and I don't know what happened to the wiki.
 * Alexander Tarasov is the real name of the Russian rapper and R&B artist T-Killah (take note to translate the page to English if you wanna see it). He is one of my personal favorite foreign artists, besides from those who perform in English.

Naming Issues
Naming characters needs a lot of research, like what Oda does in the canon.

My names are arranged in English order, rather than the East Asian one.
 * I always do a lot of research on real-life pirates. An example is Johannah O' Malley, having named after the Irish pirate chieftain Grace O' Malley.
 * Some other terms are taken out of ship names and anything that is related to the seas and piracy.
 * An example of this case is Baghlah Abbas. Baghlah is a type of dhow, an Arabian sailing vessel.
 * Steamboat Willie, the current Tendokyo Thirteen's steamship, is named after a 1928 film of the same name, which introduced Mickey Mouse.
 * The rest are created out of pure laziness. One case is Jonathan Arleigh, the protagonist himself.
 * Examples are the characters above. Take note that "Johannah" comes first before "O' Malley".


 * Some exceptions is the Taisho family, Tendokyo Thirteen member Taisho Akagi and Marine vice admiral Taisho Mitsuo.

Naming my devil fruits

 * I always keep my original devil fruit ideas 100% original, even in the Ship of Fools Wiki. I tend not to walk into Mordor just by using their ideas.
 * For those labeled with "TU", I only take these fruits from the canon so no fans will be offended.

About the Protagonists
Jonathan Arleigh, also known as Arleigh D. Jonathan and Jonathan the Luminiscent, is a pirate and the male protagonist of Gourd Roger's series of fanfics which are set in the Tarasov's Universe. He is the captain of the Tendokyo Thirteen, making him one of the crew's two leaders. He is the biological son of a Revolutionary commander, Juan Garcia Enriquez, who is hiding under the alias of Arleigh D. Shiraz, the grandson of a Roger-era Super Rookie, Juan Enriquez, the adopted brother of Johannah O' Malley, and the foster son of Olivierre O' Malley during his real father's demise. Olivierre acted as his father until Shiraz was found to be alive and reunited after the hiatus and timeskip.



Johannah O' Malley, dubbed as the Angel of Redrum Island, is also a pirate and the female protagonist of Gourd Roger's series of fanfics which are set in the World of Gourd Roger. Along with his adopted brother Jonathan Arleigh, she is the co-captain of the group, making her the other of the two leaders. She is the daughter of Olivierre "Olbert" O' Malley who also serves as a commander in the Revolutionaries along with Jonathan's father.

Both of the two protagonists ate Logia devil fruits, one being able to manipulate and become light at will while the other being able to harness the powers of the scientific element bromine, and after the timeskip they are both adept with all the Three Types of Haki. It seems that the two are in a constant, healthy competition but when they confront enemies, they join together to wreak havoc.

Dreams

 * I want to go to Japan in the fall in a tradition called momojigari.
 * Also, I want to buy a backpack the Japanese called randoseru. However, I feel like having that at age 17 is too old (unless I'm a girl).
 * I want to design vintage posters, especially their one-of-a-kind typography.

Quotes
Swag and class are just the same. You just applied conservatism on the latter. Live young and die old ('cause you only live once). Relationships? Bring me some paper and cigarettes. Watch an' learn what I'll do. On our journey across the island's, all of us are getting Stronger without even noticing. I don't always search for links in my profile from Wikipedia. I only search for links in Uncyclopedia.
