New follower here, if u wanna, tell me about ur ocs i want to know everythin about siso and emery go wild i wanna know everything (if ur willing to tell)

EDIT JUL6 2023: these r largely outdated and/or changed !!!!

ANOOOOOON tysm for this mwah (⁠ノ⁠^⁠_⁠^⁠)⁠ノ

siso and emery are my one piece ocs !! they're mother and child basically, estranged up until wci where they reunite after 10 years of separation

siso is NOT a strawhat, just a major ally (enies lobby + marineford + punk hazard → wano)

this follows a timeline wherein yamato escapes onigashima pre-timeskip after siso washes up on onigashima one day, frees him from the exploding cuffs, and they basically explore the world together

gonna be very long so i'm putting it under the cut

emery: fishman, formerly part of whitebeard's crew before leaving (on good terms). she has complete mastery over the Voice Of All Things which pushed her to find people like her and form her own crew, the aegis pirates. they dominated the south blue, and after literally witnessing siso's birth and adopting the child, moved to paradise once roger died and the great pirate era began. personality wise, her motto is "if someone helps to you, go all out with gratitude. if someone hurts you, go all out with revenge".

siso: you know how much the sea plays a role in the narrative right? yeah. that's basically siso. he's the human embodiment of the sea. and i know how overpowered that sounds, but trust me, he's just some guy!!!! i am so serious

backstory......complicated.! wait for their wikis ^_^

trivia timeeeee (siso only, emery is still fairly new and i haven't had enough showers to think abt her character yet)

・。.・.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・

siso

is genderfluid, but only uses he/him pronouns

6'7 hunk of a bear.....he was already 5'7 at 15, had a growth spurt from 6'5 to his current height during the timeskip. he's built like a fat heavyweight guy (healthy fat, not obese or overweight). hairy all over except his face and thighs. his hands are as big as chopper's head

i KNOW that isn't very tall in the one piece universe, but keep in mind that the unaturally tall characters are usually infamous pirates/marines and he's spent (almost) all his life blending in with normal people

cringefail. can and will cry crocodile tears in front of children and scam good-natured people to get what he wants. will bring out his pathetic/lazy side so people would look down on him only to surprise them with all of his lovecraftian loser energy and laugh when everyone else thinks theyre going mad

quite literally incapable of lying—not out of guilt, but of laziness. why bother lying to someone when the depths of the ocean will swallow them whole someday and show them truths they cannot comprehend? either say the truth, keep quiet, or kill them. works like a charm!

has no sense of duty or moral obligation, much to his and everyone else's detriment. he will do and not do things based on how much fun he thinks he'll have, then complain and sulk and be generally unhelpful when wrong until he gets off the task.

odd-job man! used to be a pirate (aegis at 0-16 y/o, donquixote at 16-18 y/o) then decided to become nomadic and lay low at places where marines are prohibited (19-24 y/o) up until the year the strawhats debuted as pirates

siso's reasons for being Heroic and saving those he loves are not simply "i love you and i care about you" but more like "you're the most fun i've had in my life so who the fuck do those bitches think they are to take my happiness away from me"

has a casual manner of speaking and writing, but not so much as slang or informal. he just doesn't care all that much about honorifics and respect in formal spaces EXCEPT if he holds any personal reverence for the person he's talking to (i.e. robin)

deeply, earnestly, respects robin, even going so far as to bow, offer his seats, and say "po" and "opo" to her (filipino honorifics), even if she's just 4 years his senior. robin is like. the oden to his yamato except no kinnie stuff.....the burning of ohara and robin surviving it really moved him and made siso view her as his inspiration and light in a world so needlessly cruel

↑ also the reason why he even met the strawhats in the sea train to begin with, because he heard that robin was in danger and rushed to help

likewise—deeply, earnestly, hates zoro, but his hatred is not born from malice or ill will, but from feelings of helplessness too overwhelming to process. there stands the man who is his exact opposite, who bases his entire existence on his role as protector just to fulfill a promise to a friend long gone and to a crew too dear to lose. reckless, self-sacrificing people like him who are consumed by guilt and duty are fated to die in the most painful ways possible and siso doesn't want that, he wants zoro to live long and to fucking take care of himself, but he's helpless. he wants to grab him by the shoulders and shake some sense into him—you'll never be the greatest because your standard of greatest is a desire too grand even for the sea to grant, i don't want to be the one that will bury you in the end, fucking listen to me—but it's no use, really. all siso can do is stand back and watch zoro slowly kill himself for the people he loves. and he hates him for that

WOAG sorry that was long . this was meant to be sillayyyy (head in hands)

has a complicated relationship with sanji. on one hand, sanji's dream in finding the all blue washed away a deep-rooted despair in him and reignited his hope in becoming whole again and finding that lost part of himself, so he has high hopes from the cook and admires him. on the other, he's just so fucking weird around him. amorous to the point of being condescending whenever siso identifies as a woman. throws his used cigarettes into the sea. fucking pathetic loser of a human man. smells like uncooked fish. has a crush on him that he tries so desperately hard to hide but fails because siso doesn't lie and he can sense when others do. again, smells like uncooked fish.

like seriously what is up w u sanji-kun........stop glaring at me ur sweating thru ur pants. i can see ur bulge. stop (siso, probably)

is in a qpr with yamato!!! i call it a qpr because although you can technically classify their relationship as romantic since they kiss/pda/make-out alot, but it's a little more queer and arospec than that. siso is very conflicted with human labels and yamato grew up loveless so they're experiencing All This for the first time

literally got each other's backs 24/7. they travel together 99% of the time by ocean current or by riding sea kings—siso is responsible in keeping yamato dry and away from the seawater, yamato is responsible for keeping siso's cringefail ass away from physical harm

they don't travel together all the time though, as in both times siso appear in enies lobby/sabaody yamato isn't with him, and yams only debuts in punk hazard after the aokiji vs doflamingo vs smoker encounter

one day sanji will be welcomed in the qpr and turn it into a polycule. idk how though. maybe when she's less emotionally constipated (takes a dramatic drag from my fake cigarette)

aaaaaand that's all for now ^_^ i don't want this 2 be too long . i'll make a separate post for sisos relationships with the other strawhats teehee

siso loving sanji because he gives him something to worry about and something to care for in the midst of hopelessness vs sanji loving siso because with him all his worries washes away without a care in the world

(VERY LONG) ONE PIECE OC RAMBLE!!!!

pirate timeline: wyvern pirates (0-12) → beast pirates (12-20) → quit piracy (21-25) → straw hat ally (25-27)

relationships: siso & king | siso & yamato | siso & zoro

siso was king's favorite, even before she became tobiroppo

he found them very similar to each other, him being the last lunarian and her being the only (known) sea deity of her kind

they had a mentor-mentee relationship! king watched her grow up

siso bore no ill will against him after she defected. this is one-sided, unfortunately

he was the one who trained her in close range combat. kaido didn't order him to, he took it upon himself

(this did gave zoro an automatic upper hand against king in their battle though, because siso's fighting style is similar to his)

she was supposed to be an all-star, right next to king and queen

every time kaido offered, she would refuse and use those offers as: a) opportunities to bully and make jack feel inferior to her and b) show off how humble she is to lesser ranked officers

her actual reason, though? to be an all-star meant even lesser time to be with yamato, her only real friend. being part of the tobiroppo already required her to be on oversea missions a lot. if she took the offer yamato would be all alone

siso was the only tobiroppo to have never pillaged wano, even ordering her underlings to do the same

yeah she's pillaged any other place, just not wano. reason being yamato said not to ruin oden's home and she went Whatever U Say Handsome ♡

"okay, but—what difference would it make if my lackies and i stopped?" "if i could get people to leave wano alone, it'd start with you! then your subordinates! someday, they'll all stop, and wano's borders will open again!"

siso and yamato are each other's safe spaces ^_^ yamato considers her the love of his life and siso would do absolutely anything to make him happy

they are best friends first, lovers second

their relationship is very far from perfect though; it hit rock bottom the weeks before siso defected and only 5 years later were they able to clear things up and start to heal from their mistakes

siso felt upset at yamato's reluctance to escape, perceiving it as him being insincere

like, all bark, no bite—he ranted and ranted about how much he wanted to be like oden and sail out but when she offered to break his shackles he backed away? made a million different excuses? avoided her?

even worse, yamato always made it sound like he was still loyal to kaido, which pissed her off even moee

meanwhile, yamato was upset at siso because during the months leading up to her defection he could not recognize nor distinguish her from the others

he felt angry and betrayed—she knew how to shed off the mask of callous indifference she puts on around others and be herself around him, but now she can't? how dare she not live up to her word? how dare she treat him the same as lower scum?

he knew that siso discards and leaves anything/anyone that doesn't satisfy her needs and wants. he knew she never hesitates to put herself first, and that deep-seated fear of being abandoned made him lash out violently many times

that little voice in his head repeated, again and again: if siso helps you escape, she'll take you out to sea and leave you stranded. you've hurt her too much: no one will come back for you.

that's why, when siso defected and was forced to fight off hordes and officers who all wanted her head, yamato clamped his jaw and ran far, far away....

only when she was deep underwater, escaping successfully, did he scream at the waves his goodbye, unsure if he'd ever see her again. if she'd come back for him.

she did, of course, 5 years later, and by that time any and all resentment they held for each other was replaced by pure yearning. they've both changed for the better, and they snuck away, finally reunited

(the reason why siso couldn't come back any earlier than 5 years was her overwhelming shame for what she said, and simply because her time in onigashima was traumatizing, no matter how hard she denies it)

when siso first met the straw hats, it was in thriller bark. something about the florian triangle had pulled her in and enticed her to explore the place, disguising herself as a zombie

yes, her first encounter involved lots of screaming from the coward trio, a flustered sanji, and a very confused zoro

(did she know luffy was a god in disguise, even before he himself knew? possibly!)

the same way she had a hunch zoro was more than just a bounty hunter in their first encounter years ago

either way, siso had high (unsaid) expectations of luffy: he will become king of the pirates and be the first devil fruit user to not be hated by the sea. she'd make sure of that.

she never believed that kaido, her captain for 8 years, would claim that title. yet she wholeheartedly believes that the boy she met hours ago, wearing a straw hat and jorts that hasn't been washed in a week, would

it's the Luffy Effect™

zoro and siso met once in those 5 years, when he was still a teenage bounty hunter and she was learning east blue culture and cuisine

the grim reaper, who lived in the blade of wado ichimonji, told him something wasn't right with her. she wasn't a mere 'fishman'.

when siso left, he got a strange feeling they're gonna meet again someday, during a time when his life may come at a crossroads

and boy. teenage zoro was Right!

keep in mind siso just watched the straw hats fight kuma. she sat there, unhelpful, and observed. not out of sadistic amusement, but of genuine curiosity

bafflement too, wondering how the hell did they get that far without knowing a single thing about haki

when everyone else got up and prepared to fight, she stayed sat. when the warlord asked for luffy's head, she sneered like the rest of them. when they all got blasted away by his attacks, she took it as an opportunity to sneak away and watch from a higher, safer surface

she wasn't scared (growing up in the grand line and working for kaido eliminated general Fear) but she was scared that not everyone would come out the battle alive

when THAT Scene happened, that's when it clicked for siso, that zoro and his crewmates were the real deal. and that yamato was right in putting his faith into luffy, a pirate he never met and only knew through ace's stories

siso talked to kuma just before he was about to leave. asked him his business, and if he knew anything about ace's whereabouts (for yamato's sake) and to her shock: he acknowledged her otherness, told her that he's headed for sabaody, that ace "has been tangled up with the marines for a while". nothing more, nothing less

yes she told the straw hats they'd be seeing the warlord again in sabaody, told luffy ace's status (he waves it off as "typical ace business") (☹️), but kept shut about her true nature/goal.....

no that didn't stop them from being Poofed but at least they were a little more prepared to see kuma again!

[edenslice]

while sanji and zoro have a gay ass rivalry siso and zoro genuinely hate each other not because they dislike any aspect of the other but because they admired each other so bad that when they discovered how the real siso/zoro the disappointment was unbearable. but they play it off as a rivalry

[edenslice]

oc update! changed heresa's name to siso ^_^ figured it suits him more
