[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)

The truck began to unload kilos of coke and the van driver stepped out, handing over a briefcase of cash. The nodded and after the exchange, the van drove off, back to the Dojo. The truck team decided to rest for a bit after the four hour drive. The driver lit a cigarette, sighing.

[b][i]Chapter One - The Arrival[/i][/b] [i]The cosmos.[/i] [i]Deep, endless and yet, filled with anomalies, stars and worlds that span across it's vast depths for billions and billions of light years. The darkness of space remained still and motionless, it's dark vacuum faintly gleaming with the occasional star within it's depths.[/i] [i]Before a rift appeared.[/i] [i]The rift began with a sudden BOOM!, which sounded across the planets near the opening rift - including Tatakai. The anomaly began to widen, as an endless pit of darkness opened within the vacuum of space. And out of it, a gargantuan ship of tangled metal, massive thrusters propelling it out of the wormhole as the dreadnaught exited the hole within reality quickly. It's deep hum was restless and continuous within space, as the ship began to direct it's course straight towards the world of Tatakai.[/i] [i]And somewhere aboard the dreadnaught was the Boundless One. The Slave Without Chains. The Machine God.[/i] [i]Althreath.[/i] --------------------------- [b][i]Tatakoi Plains, 6:30 PM[/i][/b] "Come on, come on-" "We need to move, now-" "Wake up, wake up-" "ARIANNA!" [i]Arianna suddenly woke with a jolt of movement, as a slight yell escaped her mouth. She looked around in a flurry of movements - before resting her eyes upon her dæmon, Achreíos, who was nudging her left arm furiously.[/i] [i]If one could describe Arianna, you could assume almost immediately that she was the traveling type, even at her young age. The young woman was about eighteen or nineteen, judging from her appearance, while her overall height was six feet and three inches tall. A lavish grey overcoat was cast over her thin, yet athletic body, while a black buttoned shirt was underneath that. The dress pants that she wore were covered in dirt, although she didn't care too much, as she began to strap on her leather boots and gloves onto her feet and hands. Her skin was a pale color, her eyes a light blue color. After applying her huntress bandana over her mouth and the tattered tri-corne hat that she was familiar with, alongside grabbing her gear which was stuffed within a large duffel bag, she stumbled out of her small tent, and into the field that she and her dæmon had settled upon.[/i] [i]To describe Achreíos in particular...well, his biography will be available shortly, to explain what a dæmon truly is. He was merely a twenty-four inch long pine marten, a type of mammal usually found within Europe and Asia. His red-gold fur gleamed in the last remnants of sunlight, his light blue eyes flickering with the same curiosity that was within Arianna's.[/i] [i]The twenty-four inch long pine marten exited the tent after his human, as she only stared up at the sky. Blotting out the sun was a massive triangular ship, it's thick shape beginning to blur as if didn't even fully exist in reality. Hundreds of orb-like beings began to appear within the skies of Tatakai, as Achreíos only yelled to Arianna as he found himself upon her shoulder. [/i] "The Dojo, Arianna! They'll be capable of destroying him!" [i]He squeaked, before descending into her grey coat's pocket as she began to run straight towards the Dojo.[/i] [i]She wouldn't make it in time on her own.[/i] --------------------------- [b][i]Dojoville[/i][/b] [i]The magnifying sounds of gunfire and steel clashing against steel rang throughout the city of Dojoville, as massive orb-like machines began to tear throughout the skies, ripping through space and time as they proceeded to deploy hundreds - maybe thousands - of robotic beings, each wielding either fully automatic ballistic-firing guns or vibrant blue energy bows. They only appeared to keep arriving, as to finish the invading force-[/i] [i]A behemoth of a creature slammed down, before crawling from the rubble of the home it had fallen into.[/i] [i]The twenty-five foot tall monstrosity of metal rose as dust fell from it's jagged body, letting out a roar of murderous intention as a deep blue shield covered it's body. It's hulking body consisted of titanium and magnesium, as it began to tear it's way throughout the city of Dojoville. The members of the Dojo had to react, and quickly - before the Titan and it's forces tore through everything in their wake.[/i] ((All three are open, but please mention which post you will reply to.)) ((The power of these characters/enemies will match your character's power - however, they will be powerful compared to yours no matter what. This isn't a plot that you can just tear your way through like some goddamn Dark Souls game, hue hue.))

He stares at its trunk, he had found the name of the woman he loved. His eyes watered, but Rafael fought not to cry. He grieved for his love to be back, but he knew that'd never happen. Sighing, he places two fingers on the spot of the tree he sees his spouse's name.[/i] "You will never be forgotten, Angie."

[i]"Ask If Honor Matters"[/i] A small Kodiak landed right in front of the Tatakai Plain, somewhat as if there was one person in there, considered long the burns and scorch marks on the vehicle. Stepping out was a [url=http://eskipaper.com/images/scifi-warrior-girl-1.jpg]person[/url], seemingly armed with her katana and daggers (and such). She seemed feminine in shape...and also had a feminine voice, somewhat Asian. "This place...reminds me of the bad times I've had dealing with the people who had called themselves 'vigilantes'. Their justice does not compare to the honor of my family...my people." She said to herself, walking out into the grassy plains. [spoiler]Open! (To JT).[/spoiler]

Edited by A Stormy Dio: 3/11/2017 4:11:03 AM[i]"Enigma" Some roof on Dojoville, sunset.[/i] On a roof of Dojoville, a simple box in grey was set. The box seemed to just there, as if it belonged to someone. Around the box? A LOT of stolen things, whether it be possessions, personal goods, food, water...even a teddy bear, which said their had grabbed, before uncloaking herself. "Dojoville...never thought it be this...easy? No, I don't think that's how you describe it. What do you think, Keiji?"

[b]Repast Dojoville 9:45 AM[/b] Alpha smiled. It was a cold morning, and she let down the hood of her jacket as she entered a coffee shop later in the morning. She hoped to see some friends, and shivered lightly. She'd been busy, family life and all. Hopefully this morning was peaceful, for once. She ordered a black coffee, and sat down in a corner booth, taking out her journal and writing. Her journal was strange, packed with loose-leaf papers and looking older than the bible itself. There was sand in some of the binding, and it looked like blood stained the sand. ((open))

[i][b]A Rising Power[/b][/i] [i]The Grand Creator stood inside his "throne room" as he called it, pondering how the next stage of his ultimate plan would unfold. He watched his machines pace around the room, ensuring no intruders had pierced his mansion. He chuckled at the fact no one could even get in, unless he allowed it of course. [/i] "Warriors of Infinity, assume guard positions, it appears we will soon have our first guest." [i]The machines did what they were told, simultaneously assuming guarding positions and pulling several levers and switches, reconfiguring several parts of the mansion. The Grand Creator walked over to some sort of control panel, turning several switches and dials until a green light turned on. [/i] [i][b]Meanwhile in Dojoville...

[b][i][u]Blood an' Dust[/u][/i][/b] [i][u]Dojo mountains, early morning.[/u][/i] Fionn walks silently through the mist covered valleys. The scorched earth crunched silently beneath his boots as he walks, passing piles of dead Fallen. Ahead of him, wreathed in flame and smoke, is the remains of a massive Ketch. The ship appears to have been torn in half. The Hunter stalks forward, ahead is a small patrol of Dregs, commanded by a single Vandal, they appear shaken and confused. Fionn kills them without a second thought, his knives flashing through the smoke, their bodies falling silently. The Hunter continues on, into the wreckage, leaving a trail of corpses. They are not clean kills. Each body is mutilated almost beyond recognition, their blood painting the walls. In the throne room, the Kell lies dead, his heart torn from his body.

Edited by Monarch Neo: 3/11/2017 3:48:39 AM[b]The Mechanical Machinist[/b] Outside the Dojo walls, a figure staggered through the village, wearing a shredded cloak. Bladed metal feathers sliced through the cloak more at every step. The figure tried speaking to several people, who all backed away in fear. Eventually reaching the gates, anyone nearby could hear a clock-like ticking emenating from the cloaked form, slowing down by the second. After less then a minute of scratching at the door, hoarsely calling for help, it slouched to the ground. The cloak flew off, revealing an avian machine, gears protruding from the shoulders, a large winding key in it's hand. The ticking slowed to a stop.

My name is Max. My world is fire. And blood. Once, I was a cop; a road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy. Me... or everyone else. Here they come again. Worming their way into the black matter of my brain. I told myself... they cannot touch me. They are all dead. I am the one who runs from both the living and the dead. Hunted by scavengers. Haunted by those I could not protect. So I exist in this Wasteland. A man reduced to a single instinct: survive.

Edited by The WORLD1897: 3/9/2017 11:35:07 PM[u]Morality[/u] Another day. More drugs smuggled under the noses of the Dojo. A few pregnant women walked across the street, looking on edge as they walked into a warehouse, one after the other. A man poked his head out after they were all in, and then shut the door, locking it. The man was the smuggler known as "The Lion." Infamous for making undetected runs back and forth between the Dojo and La Catedral. One of the best in the business. No wonder Pablo hired him for the job. ------------------------------------------------- The Lion turned back to the women. [i]"You'll each receive ten thousand for twenty five of these bag swallowed. Twenty thousand for fifty. Deal?"[/i] The women nodded hesitantly and took the bags, beginning to swallow them one by one.

On her back, she carried quite a small backpack, as well as a modified AR-15. In her hands she carried an SVD equipped with a 10x zoom scope.

She tried to run toward him, but she tripped. Something was pulling her away. She screamed as she reached toward Fionn, and her arm was outstretched as the explosion consumed her.[/i] [u]On the Wall, 03:00 hours[/u] Sarah woke up sweating from this nightmare.
