Following that here is some information of importance things you may want to know about each species and faction.
Faction
There are three faction available in this guild:
Pirate
The "scourge of the sea." Basically it's anyone who is not a Bounty Hunter or a Marine sailing the seas and defying the laws of the World Government. While pirates are limited in travel, occasionally there will be techniques only pirates can learn. They also have the future options of gaining titles such as the Shichibukai, Supernova, or even become one of the four Yonkou. They're able to establish crews at any point to travel to certain areas easier.
Navy
Aside from the ability to travel to many areas easier, they are the only people able to freely enter and exit Marine HQ and learn from the officers. They're also the only ones able to obtain Sea Stone to fight Devil Fruit users. Marines also have the options to either become Wardens in Impel Down, Agents of the World Government, Cipher Pol members, become a Marine officer, or work their way up to become one of the Gorosei.
Bounty Hunter
The most flexible faction. They work with either faction or work with neither. They can hunt down Pirates to collect their bounty, but they must watch their actions to avoid having a bounty on their head and losing their status as a Bounty Hunter in the eyes of the World Government. They have the option to become a Shichibukai or join with the World Government. Because they cannot form crews, they cannot become Yonkou.
If a Bounty Hunter turns in a pirate, they cannot join a crew.
If a Bounty Hunter joins and crew and is spotted by the Marines with them, they are classified as pirates.
Race
Your character also has the option to be one of several races or a combination. This choice cannot be undone, so choose wisely.
Humans
The average race. There is no real advantage to being a human.
Fishperson
These come in many types. When you select Fishperson, you must be specific in your choice as those attributes may affect what you can learn. They can learn Fishman karate and some of their own unique aspects as weapons. They gain Strength and when underwater their speed increases.
Half Giant
They gain the mightiest strength possible. Their strength is double their stat amount, but their speed is cut in half. This race can be mixed with other races.
Kuja
An all female race! They have the chance to obtain the Kuja Haki when they reach Amazon Lily, and they have stamina at all times.
Merfolk
Humanoid in appearance, minus their lower half being that of a fish. When they turn 30, their tail splits in two and they can walk on land. They can remain in water indefinitely like a Fishperson, but they don't have the same bonus traits. They can, however, outrun Fishpersons in the water with a speed bonus in the water. They can also communicate with fish and call them using a sound wave only audible to them.
Skypiean
Skypieans have wings on their backs, but they cannot use these to fly. They have the advantage of starting in Skypiea instead of the Blues. When in Skypiea or on Sky-based structures, they gain to their Strength, Speed, Defense, and Stamina because they have been raised in the sky.
Occupation
Several occupations are available to a person. They must choose one occupation. There is no switching out occupations, so choose wisely.
Swordsman
One of the most well-known occupations. They are skilled experts with swords and the like. They are able to focus on their skill with said weapons to do things a normal person cannot.
Brawler
Hand-to-hand experts. Born fighters.
Archaeologist
Intelligence is the name of this game. Tacticians and intellects. They are the only people allowed to enter the Libraries purchase books to further their knowledge.
Navigator
The ship's navigator. An expert in external factors such as the climate and weather. Traveling without one can be suicidal.
Shipwright
An inventor and ship expert. They repair their crew's ship and perhaps some of the best inventors around.
Doctor
A master of anatomy and physiology. They heal and repair injured crew members.
Marksman
If you need a distance fighter, these are your best friends. With enough training, they can fire off shots from where they can't be spotted with precision accuracy.
Musician
Instrument-based fighters who rally themselves and their crew with stat raising abilities.
Chefs
Cooks who prepare food for their allies to help out in combat. They can be great fighters.
EDIT: It has come to my attention after catching up in the Manga, that Merfolk and Fishpeople can consume devil fruits, they still suffer the same curse though.
