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] [b][i]The New Dojo(JOIN HERE!)[/i][/b] [spoiler]Join our group! Free of charge! I swear! https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Forum/1677784/0/3/0 USE THIS LINK IF THAT OTHER ONE DOES NOT WORK. https://www.bungie.net/en/Groups/Chat?groupId=1677784 Once you pass your test and have joined the group sign here: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/215168136/0/0 NOTE: You do not have to be tested to join the dojo. Only to PvP. [/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! [/spoiler] [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) Bio's(RECCOMENDED) https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/212677641/0/0 Backstory for Characters https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1677784/217556475/0/0 Property Creator https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1677784/220228259/0/0 Writers Hub https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1677784/220575696/0/0 Faction Creator https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1677784/222042811/0/0 [/spoiler] [b][i]The Dojo[/i][/b] [spoiler] Physical Appearance https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/212677894/0/0 NOTE: The dojo only uses Mac Cannons for any kind of defense.

    While the new arrival had indeed taken note of the events unfolding around him, little action was taken on his part. He seemed almost fully absorbed in repairing the damage to his gunship. While several mechanics had offered to help him weld several stabilizers to their rightful space, he shooed them off-occasionally throwing paper at them as a deterrent. Muttering to himself, the pilot tallied the necessary parts out loud. Most definitely angry, he showed a sign of relief when checking a data pad scans. "Good, there's a phase-wave harmonizer somewhere on world. Can get in contact with the hub for parts. Finish the mission while I'm at it." [spoiler]Oh yeah open[/spoiler]

        • [b]Burn.[/b] The night was stagnant, dry, cold. There was no breeze, no movement at the gate of the Dojo at the time, no sound. The stones of the gateway were stained a deep, dark red. Nyxon's body lied there, two holes punctured in his upper body. One in his lung, the other in his stomach. His head lied a few feet away, having been severed by the demon filth in Garin's body. There was no cloud coverage tonight, so the moon shone bright over the courtyards, illuminating most everything. (Open. I will not reply if things take an even more morbid turn. I am not replying to Arbiter.)

              [b]Emergency "Landing"[/b] The sky above the Dojo rippled for a moment, before a small ship slid into existance above the Dojo. Smoke was pouring out of all the thrusters, and one of the wings had fire blazing along it. Anyone who bothered to look would see that the pilot was frantically pressing buttons, trying to hold the craft together. "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday! This is LTT Tankbred requesting immediate permission to land! I can't hold her together much longer." While the small ship clearly wanted to slam into the ground, it flew in a holding pattern over the spaceport. [spoiler]Timed open[/spoiler]

                  • [u]Sally[/u] A small 10 ft x 10 ft island floated around the Dojo. On it, a young woman, a void bubble shield projector, a small bed, a chair, and a small radio. The woman just sat on the edge, smiling, as the island floated around. She nodded her to the music happily as the island floated. She floated about 10 feet off of the ground as she continued.

Well, no one knew. Not the woman selling fresh fruit who had her heart ripped out, or the man on the corner with all of his ribs broken. At 3:43 AM, 20% of Dojoville's residents were dead. At 4:00 AM, 40%. Then it stopped, and with a bloodcurdling roar, he stood before the gates of the famed Dojo. Garin had returned. [spoiler]open[/spoiler]

                      • [b]An arrival. 2:34 AM, Dojo gates.[/b] [u]A resounding knock echoes through the Dojo at an un-godly hour, its source standing at the entrance of the Dojo's massive gates. Morning dew slid down the leaves and blades of grass as the figure continued to knock for several hours, not taking a break until answered. The sun slowly rises into the sky as the moon disappears into the horizon, the strangers' armor clanking with every knock. Almost nine feet in height, their titanium-alloy armor glints in the morning sunlight as a large sword sheathed by their left side scrapes softly, it swaying lightly along with the leaves blown by the wind. On his back hangs a massive assault rifle, ornate runes carved into its barrel and blades that lined the barrel. The visor of his helmet shows no sign of emotion, and an air of seriousness surrounds his person. He continues knocking, evident he won't stop until let in.[/u] [spoiler]Open.

He will make sure his Raze-Lighter sees her blood again. The question was when to strike. Now would be a good time. But she would expect that. "I will find you. And I will kill you. You must realise.

                            [b] Ashes to Ashes Dojo path 11:21 AM[/b] Twas a normal day. The sun was shining, the sky was blue. Everything was in order......until a small disquiet entered the area. It was subtle, like someone who didn't belong had chanced upon this place of training. Upon the path to the dojo, a lone figure trudged up the steps. His armor was burnt, and even smoldered in places. On his back was a greatsword, large and with seemingly great weight. His face was hidden by the visor of his helmet. He stopped at the gates, steeled himself, and walked inside. ((open, intro to my attempt at a DS char))

The woman becomes more and more distraught as she tries to get to her child but she can't fit into the very small hole. "I can't get to you..."she says She started looking around for someone who is small enough to fit down there as her childs cries can be heard still coming from the hole still stuck and very frightened. "Please help me mama...im scared of the dark..." When she step away from the hole for a second the child becomes more upset and crying can be heard coming from the dark hole. "Mama... dont leave come back..." She started to become increasingly worried because she can't get to her and starts thinking the worst. "Im still here sweetie im not gonna leave you"she says "Okay mama" She sits down next to the hole looking down at her child that she can't get too. [/i] [spoiler]open[/spoiler]

Yet only one person was aboard the ship. "So...why am I going to Horizon?" Valeria asks, her casual clothes on. "We don't want to draw any attention. This is why you have civilian clothing on, Lieutenant." The Illusive Man replied, smoking his artificial cigar. "I have reason to believe that a small group of Cerberus Phantoms led by one of Cerberus's agents had arrived here, in whatever was left of Sanctuary. I believe that you're already aware of the ordeal that happened here not too long ago, correct?" "Of course." Valeria replied. She had on a black long-sleeves shirt with blue jeans, a belt wrapped around her jeans, making them seem tight. Her black sweater was tucked in, and had the addition of black sneakers. She landed in some sort of plaza, noticing all the dead Alliance and Cerberus bodies all across the plaza. Destroyed Cerberus Atlas mechs and crashed Kodiaks laid all over, mini-fires and at least a couple thousand corpses laid across the battlefield. She simply walks past over them, and into the door for her objective; the tower shining above all of the chaos. [spoiler]Open.[/spoiler]

Who knows who she'd find herself with tonight? She walked over to an alley, leaning on the wall and lighting a smoke. She wiped a tear from her eye, taking a long and deep hit. She exhaled slowly, ushering in the numbness. ((JT.))

This was Kross, Lord of Cinder and once a proud member of the dojo. He was carrying something, no SOMEONE. Royal was in his arms and Kross carried him, stopping at the dojo gates as they creaked open and revealed the interior. Kross slowly lowered Royal and simply sat on the ground, weeping slightly. His body shook with each breath he took and he looked up into the dojo as someone approached him. His mistakes had been realized. It time for him to either pay, or redeem himself.

The gigantic demon, 100 times larger than the Dojo itself, flies over the Dojo and lands in the country side. Jack and Centrax retreat quickly, regrouping with the others. Rafael's parents are terrified. Not knowing what they can do. The summoned wraiths are wiped out, and the beasts swarm the skies. Malren laughs, his deep and evil voice echoing throughout the landscape. Stepping about, they crush many things under his large footsteps, but he is not hear Dojoville yet. There is still time. From a view point the others stand vigilantly. Fearing certain death is upon them. Then, Rafael, Royal, and Kross arrived.[/i] [spoiler]For Royal only.[/spoiler]

                                              [u]In Memoriam[/u] Lena lay on the ground, weeping. "Just... go back to.. where we met." She spoke to JT, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her eyes glazed over and she stared blankly into the sky. She breathed out her last gasp of air audibly, as her body went cold. JT knew what to do, hopefully. ((Open to JT.))

                                            • [b][i]The Man On High Mountain Ko Rudo Mountains 11:48 AM[/i][/b] [i]Among the many peaks of the Ko Rudo mountains, there is one whose top is flat, the head of it sheered off during the first of the invasions. It is on of the taller peaks, providing an overview of the world surrounding it, and has been marked as one of the greater places on the vast planet to visit, if only for the view and the stillness of it. However, since it's production at the hands of mankind, there has been a solitary guardian of the peak. A quiet man, he does not tend to interact with the Dojo and its peoples often, only ever coming down to buy and take up supplies to build...something. He does not even purchase food or drink, and yet must have some form of sustenance, as he has only ever been seen on the mountain or in the market for a few months now. Efforts to reach the peak and it's protector are not resisted, and many have made the journey, returning with stories provided by the man, given to them out of hospitality. They also bring news of a developing structure atop the peak. A building of wood and stone, those who see it remark to others on their return of the antiquity of the building. After a time, the structure finally began to take shape as the man worked ceaselessly, stopping only to provide company and hospitality to those who would visit. As such, his pace carried the project on rapidly, and it turned out to be something altogether wonderful in its simplicity. The man had built a Church. It was comprised of a main structure, a large room in the shape of a circle around an upraised altar space, with rooms branching off at four equidistant points set to face in the cardinal directions of the compass. These rooms were made for the Priest, the Altar Servers, the Confessional, and the Sacristy. Where he had received the supplies other than what he gained in the market was a mystery, as musical instruments and pews were already furnished within the building. It also already held stained glass windows, colored to show images of scenes in the Bible, starting from the Old Testament at the front of the building, and going on to the Resurrection. Alcoves all over were filled with icons, images of the Saints and the Prophets. However, the most noticeable ornament was a Crucifix, facing the doors, made life-size and hanging about a man's height over the altar. With the structure made and made open, the man set to work on the path up to the altar, carving steps from the rocky path he himself had taken in his first ascent of the mountain. Ever did he work, and he had still more to do. Occasionally, others came and aided him for a time, but mostly he worked alone, or so it seemed. Indeed, he spent most of his time in prayer, often focusing more on it than on the project he was working on at the moment. For those who accompanied him, he was amiable enough, but most time was spent in silent companionship. Indeed, he seemed to be mentally preparing himself for something, much as one who steadies themselves before a battle. Perhaps this was his way of coping with the recent invasions, but no, he'd been fending those off relatively easily. No, this was something else entirely. His work was fervent, fevered almost. He did not cease, pause, or otherwise distract himself. He was like a man who's time was coming up on him. However, to those who inquired, he hid his sadness. He put them forward, and made his priority the guests themselves. Even so was he one day, when someone came up behind him as he gave shape to the next step up to the Church on the Mountain.[/i] [spoiler]Open.[/spoiler]
