[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]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)

[spoiler]To preface, when I say stuff in first person, that is Ranger Grant. It will be how he works.[/spoiler] [b]I look through my rifle sight. I see them. Those slaver bastards in crimson sports gear. I wanna squeeze that trigger right now, watch that feather-headed dickwad's head pop like a damn balloon. I hate them. I hate them all so much. I'd kill them all, every last one of them was is not for the person they had lashed to the cross. It was one of my troops, NCR. They had her put up on that goddamned cross, probably beat her and... I'd rather not think about that, actually. Bad things I'd rather not think about. Unless it's bad things happening to those assholes across the way. Only reason I wasn't taking my shot was that I knew they'd kill her as soon as I fired. Goddamn those cruel bastards. They'd nail a sweet girl like her to a fûcking cross. First chance I get, they're all dead. Every last goddamned one of them! It's a goddamned monument to inhumanity, that's what it is! I can feel myself getting angrier, feeling as if my blood was boiling. As dusk began to fall, I turned on the night vision in my helmet, pressing a button on the side. Once it was dark, I'd strike. I sat there on the cliff side, watching every movement of those psychopaths, until it was night. It began to rain, and as it as said, when it rains it pours. And that's what the sky did. It poured the rain, soaking my Ranger armor, as well as putting out my own little campfire for me. I had cooked some Gecko Kebabs earlier, before I knew they were putting her on a cross. The remains of them were washed over the canyon side, falling to the abyss below. I turn my attention to the bridge connecting the two sides of the canyon, and stare at the lone guard, right in the middle of the bridge. I pull my other, silenced rifle from my back. It packed less of a punch, but it'd be enough to punch through the Centurion's armor. Like paper. I sat their again, waiting for the others to go to sleep, so I could take my shot. As the darkness set in, I prepped to start my assault. Here I was, a lone Ranger, trying to go on some crazy rescue mission to save one of the Privates. It was worth it. I knew how good this woman was, as a person, and a soldier. The others had already gone to bed, and even she passed out, still on the cross. I lined up my reticle with the plumed fûck's head, and squeezed the trigger. Lucky for me, it was still raining, so the sound of the man's head exploding and him going for a little tumble into the canyon was totally silent. I moved forwards, the guard now dead. There was another guard, facing away from my position, towards her. I could see in his eyes what he wanted to do to her, until I burst them with a sniper bullet. He fell to the ground, dead. I creeped along the bridge, it creaking beneath me. The rain had let up by now, but not enough for the sleeping soldiers to hear me slipping up to their tent. I reached into my pack, and pulled out a C4 charge, along with a Mini-Nuke. I couldn't wait to see those Legion bastards go up in nuclear fire. I set the charge, with the Mini-Nuke on top of it, and snuck over to the cross. I looked at her. Her long, auburn hair fell away from her face, the result of the rain hitting her. Her skin was a slightly tanned color, but it looked red in places, probably where the Legion had abused her. Her NCR trooper armor was beat to hell. And had a few holes in it. I pulled my Bowie knife from my hip, and cut the bonds on her feet. I moved up to her arms, and held her up while I cut the bonds there, also. She fell onto me, and I could feel her heart beating against my shoulder. She was alive, thank God for that. I very slowly creeped back to the bridge, then crossed again. When I reached the other side, I cut the ropes holding it up. The bridge fell, and made a loud clattering noise. I pulled a detonator from my hip, and but my finger on the button. A bastard in red came out of the tent, and looked in fear over at the Ranger with the detonator. I smiled to myself. A Legionnaire in fear. That was a sight to see.[/b] "See you in hell, you red bastards!" [b]I pressed the button on the detonator, and watched the fireworks. Rocks flew everywhere. This was even better than watching that Legionnaire! I turned my back to the explosion, and but the detonator back at my hip. I looked at her.[/b] "Don't worry. I'll get you somewhere safe." [b]I pulled a glowing device from my pack, and pressed the trigger on it. We were gone in a flash of blue light. We arrived back at Dojoville, early morning. I walked through the streets, and up the steps to the Dojo.[/b] "I need a medic! Anyone! Anyone at all!" [b]I burst through the gates, she was still slumped over my shoulder.[/b] [spoiler]Open.[/spoiler]
