[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)

It couldn't be seen unless it wanted to be seen. It was enigma pure and simple it also thrived on the negativity in people. It what makes it strong and it just loved to ensnare people showing them what they feared most. It was at the moment wandering through the dojo unseen looking for its next unwilling victims to feed off their negative emotions. But unluckly for one such person that happened to be out at this ungodly hour just happens to catch a glimpse of monstrous creature's form and its horrific it.

Edited by Quietly Quincy: 2/19/2017 8:39:30 PM[b]Safe house[/b] Snow looked out from her window of her apartment building from inside the Dojo. "As Buck said. 'Crap'. Can't go a full week without an invading army..." she said, sighing as she watched the chaos, a hand on her slightly enlarged belly. "Nowhere I go is safe, now is it?.." she asked no one in particular, closing the curtains as she packed a go-bag with her belongings. --- [i]Meanwhile[/i] Mari was back to hiding in her basement, a large blanket wrapped tight around her as she screamed as an explosion shook the area. She sobbed, crying in fear. The little six year old would never be the same after what happened to Kari. What made it worse for her was that she relived that terrible night anytime she was reminded of the first invasion where most of her family was burned to death in their home out in the woods. Soonafter they got to the Dojo, someone came after her and Kari, deciding it'd be fun to try killing them for sport. Now, Mari was back to shaking, crying as she hid under the blanket wrapped so tight around her. (open if you have a character who'd make sense to be at either place)

[b]Eren stumblesd through the great doors of that library which he had loved so much, but this time was not like the others. No, he had not come here to gain, but to lose. To lose his sadness, his pain. How many had died? How many were to die? He did not know, and did not want to either. He was bleeding from a bash in his side. A physical manifestation, a physical object, had broken the mind. Broken the magic. Now it was to be healed. Eren knew what he wantedz and that was power. Pure, unchecked power. This power, he convinced himself, would stop the fighting. It would stop everything, and all would go back to the way it was before. Before everything happened. Eren limped slowly to the very back of the library, which contained spells he had never even dreamed of. The power of controlling blood, raising the dead. No, this was not enough. He wanted destruction magic. Flames that would scorch the planet and burn his enemies to the ground. He would freeze the blood of those who had made his drip and crush their skills with his hand. He could imagine the great power so close. He wanted it, he needed it. Nearby he spotted the same reading chair in which he had often spent nights at a time doing research. But that was all pointless. For what had come of it? Nothing. He had become weak, afraid.

Valeria had yelled, Silesia, Merrick, and Vel watching her. She was repairing engines, trying to rework and possibly upgrade the [i] Deimos[/i] after their trip to Eden Prime. They were well away from the Dojo, between the beginnings of the Ko Rudo Mountains and the Forests. The ship's VI had activated, saying, "Merrick, Admiral Hackett is hailing you. Patching in now." Merrick had ran through the ship, passing by Cryark, who was rearming the armory with a few Alliance soldiers they picked up. He reached the galaxy map, where the map was replaced by Hackett himself. Merrick somewhat nodded, and said, "Hackett." "Merrick. It's been awhile. 6 damn years since you guys were split." Hackett reminisced about, putting a hand to his chin. "Let me guess; time for the little alliance negotiations with the turians?" He asked. "You've read my mind. Victus is willing to stay here for as long as needed, but not forever; the Asari are still at war with them." Hackett responded. "Once you come to Arcturus Station, you'll most likely spend about a week at least here. Reporters will swarm both you guys and the Tatakai members." "Of course; we'll make sure to punch the reporters in the face if they come too close" Merrick responded, the two men sharing a chuckle. "I don't believe that'll be necessary; however, I'll need to talk to you personally once you reach Arcturus Station. It's about Cerberus. You can tell your fellow compatriots once we're done." Hackett responds, before saying, "I'll see you there. Hackett out." The holo was replaced by the galaxy map, as Merrick stepped out of the ship, Peacekeeper looking around the place. "Notify anyone who's in the current vicinity that's a memeber of this damn Dojo if they want to represent this planet to the Alliance. Or just wants to see space." Merrick responded to the Prime, who nodded and sent out a broadcast about the location of the Deimos, where they were going, and what they'd be doing. [spoiler]Open.

Throughout the crevices and cracks in the being's skin and the walls of the dim room, bright orange light shined throughout the metal, enlightening the room with a faint glow.[/i] [i]The figurine that was referred to as Althreath stood in his place, at a height of perhaps ten feet tall. His metallic eyes opened, red-orange light issuing from his pupils. The being who had spoken first was more than twice his height - a hulking monstrosity of metal and steel, it's body at least twenty-five feet tall, while it's knees were bent in a deep kneel towards it's master.[/i] [i]"The planet of Tatakai is vulnerable to our inevitable triumph over it.

Orders and codes were shot out to each, as their circular, portal-like shapes in their center pieces shifted and changed - before hundreds of cyborg-like organisms spewed from their depths, War Machines and Death-Dealers charging towards the ongoing chaos. They raised their gleaming energy rifles and bows, raining down hell upon those unlucky enough to stand in their way.[/i] [b][i]"PREPARE THYSELVES FOR EMANCIPATION, PEOPLE OF TATAKAI.

Both sides fought hard, but it appeared that things for the Dojo were not going nearly as well as hoped. The sounds and smells of war filled the air of the normally quiet area, and people fled and hid to avoid what was coming, not that there was anywhere to run. Amidst the bloodshed, reports had come in of something strange, and altogether horrifying. Traumatized civilians and Dojo fighters spoke of a being of fire, radiating a deathly cold, his eyes a piercing and eerie blue. His face, they said, a mask of white and black, his armor black and soulless, like staring into a void. To be near him, they said, was as to be paralyzed with fear, an inability to reason, to comprehend just what it was. To some, this apparition appeared to be a soldier. To those who knew legend of the Dojo and her history, they cowered in fear, terrified that the Betrayed Soldier had returned. The streets of Dojoville were empty, corpses of both Dread and Dojo fighters lining them, as the spectre approached. His walk was deliberate, purposeful, and in his hand, what appeared to be some sort of lever-action shotgun, a cloak of black flame billowing behind him, the air cold as death.

Edited by Thot Slayer Emps: 2/19/2017 8:12:58 PM[b]WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!![/b] [i]During the invasion, as the dread, Althreaths and others countless armies were assblasting the Dojo, an unexpected visitor decided to come an play. The giant mass of ships were hurtling through space, towards the Planet called Tatakai. This was a Space Hulk, a giant mass of ship graveyards. This Space Hulk had a rather charming band of aliens.[/i] "BOSS! LOOKATIT! IT'Z A PLANET!" [i]A lone gretchin said, barely seeing the planet of which the Dojo resided. The Titanic Ork Warboss known as Warboss Nobledakka looked at Tatakai through a ships window.[/i] "[b]HAH! I EXPECTS US A GOOD FITE DOWN DERE! DERE'S DEFINITELY SUM HUMIES! DA SHIPS ARE DERE WITH DA TEK![/b]" [i]He bellowed out, as the Space Hulk was reaching terminal velocity towards the planet. Heading straight for the Ko Rudo Mountains. Nobledakka walked through the ships, to one of his Mekboyz.[/i] "[b]I wants mah Kustom gun. NOW![/b]" [i]Nobledakka barked, of which he received his Kustom Supa-Dupa-Double-Shooty-Big-Dakka-Shoota. It was a massive gun, fitted with an insane amount of Big Shootas, A Dakkagun and Supa-Shoota. It just looked like a disproportionate minigun held together by spit, tape, glue and love. The Space hulk then crashed into a mountaintop, completely destroying it and causing multiple avalanches to the nearby mountains, creating even more havoc. The rather giant Klan of Goff's and Speedfreekz, led by Warboss Nobledakka charged out, letting out their famous war cry.[/i] "[b]WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!![/b]" [i]The Goffs rode out in Battlewagons, Battlefortresses and a few Gorka and Morkanauts. While the Speedfreekz rode on Dakkabikes and the such. They were mostly going towards any civilization. Nobledakka was in his personal Battlefortress, he felt where the Dakka was....The Dojo. So the Battlefortress rode towards the dojo, preparing it's assault. Eventually while the chaos happened the GIANT FUСKING TANK FILLED WITH DAKKA AND WAAAAGH! drove right through dojoville, destroying just about any building in it's way.[/i] [spoiler]WAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!![/spoiler] [spoiler]Also, I'm not using the Battle fortress so you can play fair.[/spoiler]

[b][i][u]Grand army[/u][/i][/b] Without warning, hundreds of massive warships emerge from hyperspace. Each is 1,400 meters long, and armed to the teeth with enough firepower to destroy a planet.

Plumes of smoke rising from within the Dojo as the onslaught by multiple varying factions was paired with great screams of innocents and the chaotic crescendo of gunfire, swords on swords sending sparks into the air, and great explosions sending debris reeling across the land. But outside of the Dojo, the snow fell in a picturesque fashion, slowly and calming, making thick white powder rise on the craggy mountain steeps. A caravan rode through this, on the ground great lions with golden manes and bounding legs sprinted towards the sounds of warfare far off. Above, huge drakes with leathered skin and three wings in the shape of honed sickles ripped through the sky, men of flowing cloth fluttering behind mounted atop the beasts. Far behind, a monolithic beast wades through the snow, sending tremors across the mountainspine of Ko Rudo and great avalanches onto rural hamlets below. At the forefront of this huge armada made up of mythic creatures of all varieties is a direwolf with a copper hide the height of the Dojo's famed walls, grotesque in muscularity and horrible, disfiguring gashes across its face and torso. Atop it is a man in onyx armor with black sashes that stretched down to his mount's knees, an infernal coal complexion within the cracks of armor platings. He wore a helm fashioned in the way of the Knights of old, obscuring the entire face with holes to breathe. On his back is a bulwark great and long, spanning the entirety of his body, spikes the length of pole arms protruding from a metal sheen. At his side a sword of two edges split by an orb of cracking yellow electricity, lightning running over either end. As his wolf bound across a distant hill and saw the Dojo in the distance, he roared with the very might of thunder itself, quaking the earth around him as he pointed his sword forward, eyes dull and distant except for swirling flame.
