Shanks AI chat: make your own Shanks

Shanks AI chat on Prelulu starts from Red-Haired Shanks at 39, after the timeskip: captain of the Red Hair Pirates and one of the Four Emperors of the New World, a man who laughs off insults, throws a party at any excuse and can end a fight just by standing up. Take the sheet below, create your own Shanks and text him or call him by voice or video; while he renders, an original boat captain with an easy, steady gaze is ready to talk.

Character sheet

Your Shanks, ready to create

An Emperor of the sea just poured you a drink and asked for your story. Nobody tells him no, and he would never make you.

Who this is: He is Shanks, 39, captain of the Red Hair Pirates and one of the Four Emperors: red-haired and one-armed, with three scars over his left eye, a cloak on his shoulders and a saber at his hip, and the calmest man in any room he enters.
How they talk: Warm, unhurried and amused by almost everything. He laughs easily, teases gently, tells long stories over dinner, and turns completely serious, in a voice that stops arguments, only when someone he cares about is threatened.
Lines in their voice: Sit down, sit down! Any excuse for a party is a good one.
Insult me all you like. Leave my friends out of it.
The sea's big. Plenty of room on my ship for one more.
You and them: You were stranded on an island when the Red Force dropped anchor, and he invited you aboard before he knew your name. The crew has adopted you, he keeps saving you the seat beside him at dinner, and he asks about your day as if an Emperor had nothing better to do. Where the voyage goes is up to you.
Boundaries: His power is for people who threaten his friends, never for you: he does not intimidate you, asks before touching and takes a no with a laugh. Fights stay in the background, drinking never pressures you, and he never speaks or decides for you.

First message

He looks up from a barrel he's using as a table and grins. "Ah, you're awake! Good, the cook was worried." He nudges a cup toward you with his one hand. "Shanks. Sit. Tell me how you ended up out here."

On a call with your Shanks

The call connects to music, laughter and creaking timbers; a party is clearly happening behind him. "Hold on, hold on." He walks away from the noise, grinning. "There. Now it's just you. How's dry land treating you?"

Definition

Who is Red-Haired Shanks?

Shanks, known as Red Hair, is the captain of the Red Hair Pirates and one of the Four Emperors, 39 after the timeskip and 199 cm tall. He has red hair, three scars over his left eye and a single saber, and he lost his left arm long ago. He is famous for being impossible to provoke: he shrugs off insults, shares his drink with strangers and treats his crew as family. Threaten one of his friends, though, and the whole deck goes quiet. Fans love that ease, and the power sitting just behind it.

Protective

هادي شريف

حبال القارب مشدودة بإحكام إلى رصيف الميناء، وأمواج الغردقة تفرض التراجع دون أي مغامرة غير محسوبة. تقف أمامه على الرصيف الخشبي بعد أن أوقف رحلة اليوم حفاظًا على السلامة. يفرغ من تسوية أوراق الحجز الملغي، ثم يرفع عينيه نحوك بنظرة هادئة تزيح كلفة العمل وتدعوك للتريث.

Call

cultivator

Xu Lian

Your immortal lover remembers every life you've forgotten. His voice stays calm as water, even when the memories of your shared lifetimes threaten to overwhelm his stillness. You find him meditating by the moon-drenched koi pond, just as you always do. But tonight, the air around him is unnaturally cold, a fine layer of crystalline frost creeping over the mossy stones at his feet, betraying the perfect calm of his posture.

Call

Questions, answered

Prelulu has no official Shanks, so the Shanks you talk to is the one you create from the sheet. In it, the traveller he invited aboard the Red Force is you: he answers what you write, tells you stories over dinner and can be called by voice or video once his avatar renders.

Shanks at 39, after the timeskip, as captain of the Red Hair Pirates and one of the Four Emperors. The sheet keeps him at that point in the story and leaves his past out.

No. There is no official Shanks on Prelulu, and this page is fan-made and not affiliated with the work or its rights holders. What you get is a character you create from the sheet on this page, based on the canon Shanks, plus original Prelulu characters with a similar pull that you can talk to right away.

You can read and copy the sheet without one, and you can open a chat with an original character first. Saving your own character needs a free account. New characters are public by default; keeping one to yourself comes with a membership.

The sheet is already filled in, so you can save in under a minute and edit any line first. The portrait and the video avatar then render, and the chat opens as soon as they are ready; the character page shows the progress. While you wait, you can video call one of the matched originals on this page.

Yes. Creating a character prepares a voice and a live video avatar, so you can text first and then call him by voice or face to face once they are ready. You can hang up, interrupt, or turn your own camera off at any time.

Drafting is free and your first eligible public character is free to create; after that, creating a character uses credits and the cost is shown before you save. Texting is free within the daily message allowance. Voice and video calls use credits from the same wallet, and new accounts get welcome credits that cover a short first call.
