THE DOJO
[i] The Dojo. Located on the diverse planet of Tatakai, the Dojo consists of the largest gathering of fighters the universe has ever seen. Men and women from all different cultures, races and worlds come to train, compete and fight together. Many battles have been raged on its soil, but it remains standing. Here, one can write, fight and talk with other writers who seek to create stories with one another. All you have to do is start typing.[/i]

[/spoiler]
[b][i]Who we are[/i][/b]
[spoiler] The dojo is an ENTRY LEVEL AND ONE OF THE ONLY PUBLIC RP THREADS.
RP is A way of interactive creative writing. Where you can go on adventures, have fights and generally have fun. Think of dungeons and dragons, but its horribly imbalanced since there is not an experience system or dice. Its great!
The Dojo loves different opinions, ideas and writing no matter if you are new to RP(roleplay) or extremely experienced. If you have an opinion to share about how to make the dojo better, contact one of the Sensei's that run the place (We would prefer this rather then excessive and unintelligent shit talking). Every work of writing is appreciated and accepted (shitposts…maybe not so much).
[/spoiler]
[b][i]How we work(list of Admins included)[/i][/b]
[spoiler] The dojo is run by a group of Sensei’s. These Sensei’s will make up most of the game changing decisions to benefit The Dojo. BUT Everyone's opinion matters a great deal. So the Sensei’s will make poll’s within the group for the members to vote and decide on big issues/ideas. Even then, the sensei’s will inform the group of changes and decisions made.
The list of sensei’s are as follows:
Inflatablepants/Pants(GONE ON HIATUS)
The God-Eater/Cob
Royalblade/Royal
Fresh Cazberry/Vio
nullCth/Cth
And the leader of the dojo union: Tubbs
[/spoiler]
[b][i]OUR GOAL[/i][/b]
[spoiler] At the dojo, we want to provide an amazing place for you to improve on your writing in a fun way. We love new faces, and will accept you as soon as you walk up to the door. We also love other RP threads that have really awesome stuff, and we want to invite them all here so we can have a hub world of sorts. Whether this is through an interdimensional portal, space ships or whatever. We want everyone we can to be a part of this and interact with everyone! This way, you can meet people you never would have met before. If you are a leader of an RP group and are interested in this, please contact me so we can discuss further! I like discussing stuff!

[b][i]RULES[/i][/b]
[spoiler]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/212678270/0/0[/spoiler]
[b][i]How to PvP[/i][/b]
[spoiler] Player VS Player Is what the dojo is known for. Basically, you can fight each others characters with your own, to see who’s the best or to simply make some kick ass action. Please follow all the rules while you fight, so you can make it as badass as possible.
In order to PvP you must be tested by a sensei, or a designated tester of the dojo. You can find out who is a tester by seeing "How we Work." Also, When you fight another player make sure that you always react to their move. The best way to do this is like this.
>Have a stanza dedicated to your reaction from you opponents last reply.
>Have a stanza dedicated to your attack.
If you completely block another opponents attack, its courteous to not attack them within the same reply.
This way, you’ll never go wrong.
[/spoiler]
[b][I]World Creation(Getting started at the Dojo starts here)[/i][/b]
[spoiler]
This is the most important section for you RP experience. This is where you make your characters, their stories, where they could live. Also, this is where you can create a Faction to participate in the thread, as well as having access to writing for the group(The stories you write do not have to relate to the dojo at all)

She wasn't as happy and smiley as she normally would be because her boyfriend was currently off fighting, but she still had a small smile and skipped along with the necklace Isaac had given her across her neck. The necklace was in the shape of a rusty gold triangle and her one hand frequently touched it, rubbing it as if it would bring him home faster. [spoiler]Orn.[/spoiler]

49 RepliesHi. Just wanted to see how you guys were doing. What's going on? I'm checking in here because this is the place that ignited my creativity, and recently for a school project I had to create a culture using 10 distinct aspects of culture; it really reminded me of this place. Regarding the past:[spoiler]IK that I shouldn't be here, doing this, because of how I left last year. How I acted last year, to people. Apologies for that immaturity. It's been sitting in the back of my head for a dang long while, and it's always nice to get regret out of the way. Of course I'm embarrassed. Of course I'm ashamed. Of course I'm being inexcusably cringy right at this moment. But my half-year leave gave me half a year to dwell on the past, and now only wish for one thing; it is not forgiveness but friendly conversations with people whom I am no longer friendly with.[/spoiler]PS dont roast me Q_Q Mustering the courage to hit that post button....

117 RepliesEdited by Inflatablepants: 4/20/2017 9:15:28 PM[b]Chapter Twelve[/b] Cannon felt himself take every step through the woods. The bag over his head made his vision dark. Every crunch of a leaf or every brush through the grass was all he heard to figure out where he was. Then, he hears voices. He felt himself step on something hard now. It was rough. Not wood, however, for his feet made a [i]pat![/i] sound with every step. He heard more and more people bustling about, but then also awkward cut offs and silences as he got closer to their sources. The ground he stepped on was bumpy and there was a [i]crunch![/i] as he walked across what sounded to be a large gathering of people. Then, he heard a door open in front of him, and he was escorted into some form of building. Now is feet made a [i]Tut! tut![/i] sound with every step as he walked across a smoothed floor. He heard another door open in front of him. This one sounded much larger then the last. He was pulled further ahead, until finally the archers who escorted him took off his hood. The room he was in was massive. The floor he stood on was made of large grey brick, and there were waterfalls on the sides of cave looking walls that dripped down into large basins that drained into small fountains. Ahead of him was a large wide staircase that went up until it became flat, where there was more brick floor, some form of table that looked like an altar, then a massive waterfall that fell down the back wall and revealed the light of the outside that came through. "Sorry if that was a little tense there Can!" The archer apologized to Cannon, who now went under a different alias that still allowed him to be called Can for short. "Ulfric will be here in a moment. He's our leader." [spoiler]for Can![/spoiler]

60 Replies[b]Chapter Fifteen[/b] Zane drove the SUV across the snowy mountains of the Ko-Rudo Range. Luckily, Alex had many roads made all over the mountains for his forces. This allowed Zane could drive around easily enough. He had been driving for hours as Falk slept in the passenger seat. The man had been through a lot in the last month. He had to become a sensei in order to guide the dojo in its defence against the empire, which was taxing enough. And now, his daughter had gone missing. Anne was in the Ko-Rudo mountains, that much the two men knew. But where...? That was where things got complicated. "Ah, jeez. How long has it been?" Falk asked Zane as he woke up. [spoiler]for Zane![/spoiler]

His body was shivering and freezing as his vision turned from white and focused on the area around him. He was still in Lilly's room, but now there were other men in there. They were all armed, and had white military suits on. They were talking, and Royal noticed the door was opened. He also realized he was laying down in a massive mound of snow. "Royal!" A voice called after Royal. As Roy turned his head towards it, he saw a familiar face strutting towards him. It was Patrick's, one of Alex's soldiers before...before it happened. "You're awake! Thank god!" Said the long haired blond as he offered his hand to Roy to help him up. But something went through his mind now. Did Patrick's join the Coldbourne empire? [spoiler]For Royal[/spoiler]

102 Replies[b]Chapter Thirteen[/b] Lyn's head throbbed in pain. Her vision was blurred, and she could only see black through her right eye. Her left eye started to adjust to her situation. She seemed to be in a room. It was small, and grey. The wall on her left was barred, she thought anyways. She seemed to be on something that tried its best to be soft, but it just wasn't. She realized there was something wrapped around her head, a cloth texture of some sort. Then...she saw something else in the room. It was a figure. The seemed to turn to Lyn, then suddenly they walked closer to her. She couldn't make out their features just yet as they spoke. "Hey, hey! You're up! How are you?" The now revealed to be man whispered to her. Though she could barely make out his face. [spoiler]for Cthulu[/spoiler]

As the day went on the figure just started giving up. He had gone around the Dojo multiple times, but without luck. He then simply took a seat on the walls of the Dojo, giving up his search.[/b] [spoiler]Open[/spoiler]

Civilians and warriors alike walked through the open area, with many stopping in front of the cherry blossom tree to read off the names. Marler led Cylus through the courtyard, into a secondary one. This new courtyard had what looked like river flowing through it, with a bridge going over this river. "This is where we will review your skills." Marker commented, glancing back at Cylus with his lit up blue visor. [spoiler]For Cylus![/spoiler]

Whoever was behind the door was impatient. He was in his bed, in his home. Which was just on the outskirts of dojoville. He had built it there some time ago now. But as of recently, it was finally completely occupied. But, as of late, there was also a sense of emptiness in the home. As Zane looked to the clock, he saw that it was 5:47 in the morning. Who would wake him up this early? [spoiler]for Zane [/spoiler]

78 Replies[b]Chapter Eight[/b] Lyn soon got off the plane and arrived at the airport of Yorktown. From the flight, she saw countless mining expeditions and thousands of workers across the canyon. The Coldbourne influence was strong here. As she walked down from her plane, she saw the massive city ahead of her. There were seven large buildings made entirely of glass in the city. Each one exceeded 50 floors. Around these buildings were other buildings made of concrete and glass. This was a modern city to be sure. The airport was...small, however. There was a small building ahead of her as she stepped onto the long runway. Otherwise, that was all there was. She knew what she had to do, however. Find the rebels, and then find a way to take down Faolin Coldbourne. She had to go to "Daves Place," a Pub somewhere in the city. When she got there, she would have to ask the bartender for a "Hennessy apple scotch." Which was clearly a password. [spoiler]for Cthulu[/spoiler]

It ran on an engine, so it was able to make more way then a sail boat faster. It had a dark black steel hull and a bright red deck. There was a small cabin at the back of the ship. It consisted of where the captain steered the boat, and a door below that which lead into the crew's quarters. The deck was very empty. It had benches for sitting, which was where the two siblings had found themselves. The breeze from the wind and air made them chilly, but the sea air was also rather relaxing. However, the day was cloudy and they could not see the sun. The clouds churned a dark grey, but it did not rain. However the waves began to pick up. [spoiler]For Orn[/spoiler]

34 RepliesEdited by Inflatablepants: 4/18/2017 7:17:21 PM[b]Chapter Seven[/b] Cannon found himself looking over the file again for his contract. His instructions were clear, find and kill Diana Coldbourne. But he had a good feeling this wasn't going to be ones average contract. He was nearing the grove now as he read it again. [i]Diana Coldbourne: Eldest sister of the Coldbourne's. known for seduction and manipulation. Ashen haired, blue eyed, 6'1. Combat abilities unknown. Currently is in Kakusa grove and suspected to be with the Tokage Clan. Tokage Clan: An ancient cult that has been at war with the Grenwald clan for centuries. Both groups have a treaty which prevents the advancement of weaponry so they can fight on even ground. The clan is proficient with bow and arrows, as well as blades and other melee weapons. The Tokage worship Majora, God of time and destruction(they worship him as a deity even though Zane killed him. Three times). Are not aware of Majoras destruction, more likely to be blatantly ignorant. Expect to be hostile at first. Wulfirc, their high priest, was killed recently. His brother Ulfric likely runs the clan now. His appearance is unknown. Majora: To the Tokage Majora is the God that will free them from their mortal hold and grant them immortality. Majora in actuality was a dragon that lived eight thousand years ago, and was killed by The Fierce Deity. Majora came back two years ago and attempted to destroy everything. After being defeated by Zane, he came back a year later and attempted to destroy everything again. He was also defeated then as well. Finally, during the summer of 2016, he was completely abolished once and for all. However the Tokage still revere him. Cannon, your mission is to breach the Tokage and find Diana or any leads to where she had gone. Once she is found, she must be eliminated or pacified. It is up to you to figure out how to breach the clan. However, an alias Is recommended.[/i] [spoiler]For Cannon. Enter the grove when you are ready to begin. [/spoiler]

He had been here before, with Alex. The two came to Northpeak so that they could recruit soldiers. In the end they convinced a small rebellion lead by a boy named Joseph, under the promise that the city would be retaken and released of its disgusting leaders control. The city was cold and dark the last time Roy had seen it. Now that he approached the hill, and made his way up on top of it so that he could see the city below, he saw something much different.

The gasses effects seemed to be gone now, and everyone felt normal. As they looked around, they all found themselves outside of the Dojo's gate, where Tesuto stood with surprise. Those who were unconscious woke up, and looked around them. This was Rorek, Sera, Ite... And Anne. Anne looked around, and panic began to set in for her. "Wh-what happened? Where am I? Where...

64 RepliesEdited by BondyMilk: 4/17/2017 4:00:44 AMOn Cylus' return from his adventure at the wall, he overhears locals talking about being tested. Naturally curious and bored without a fight, he approaches the two Dojoville citizens. After a brief interaction, he learns that his skills can be "tested" if he returns to the gate from which he entered. If he were to request a tester there, he could be faced against a certain set of trials. Excited for the oppurtunity, he hurries to the base of the steps. Looking up, he launches his grapples at the face of the rock, and begins climbing. Using his momentum, he swings himself across the face of the rock and up to higher ledges. Naturally faster than climbing the steps, Cylus reaches the path in no time. When he approaches the gate, he sees that it hasn't changed since he had first arrived. The gate was open for tourists, but all was quiet and peaceful. "Hello?" He called. "I was told to come here if I uh... wanted to be tested. Some sort of trial?" He stood patiently waiting, but got no response. Yet he felt someone watching him. Feeling sure of a presence, he began to speak. "Well... My name is Cylus and I've been here in Dojoville for a while now. I think its about time I did something with my time and I heard this is the way to do it. So.... Where do I begin?"
