[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.

[b][u]Finding A Cause 12:23 AM[/u][/b] [i]Jackson exits the Dojo Bar, in which he has rapidly become a regular. In one hand he clutches a pint of ale, in the other his signature Hickory cane. He walks out into the streets, headed for his room within the Dojo. His eyes search the night-time culture, finding quickly any threats to his own safety first, and second anyone else. He passed alleys and side-streets, catching the gangs and muggings out of the corner of his eyes. His pace quickens at these sights. It would not do to get caught up in such unpleasantness. He feels a tickling at the base of his skull, a sort of sixth sense developed in the swamps of Florida. Someone was watching him, no, they were following him, a few buildings back. His usual scowl deepened into a frown, the sharp edges casting an unnatural look to him. However, he was not visible from the back, and thus the gang that had gone to follow him did not learn of the danger they were in. He turned into the next alley, the gang close behind. However, when the five young men turned into the same alley, he was nowhere to be seen. They turned to one another, chuckling. The rat would be caught by this pack of wild dogs was their train of thought. Their youth and strength gave them a confidence that bordered on arrogance, bolstered by their previous victory over a rival gang. As they moved further, they checked around and in the dumpster. When their search came up empty, they grew confused. There was nowhere else to hide, the rest of the alley was empty! They began to quarrel and argue when behind them the air, which had seemed distorted began to...dissolve? Where there had been empty space earlier was now the man, cast in shadow by the streetlight behind him. The mug was gone, and he held the cane in both hands, lightly tapping the handled end on his left hand. The boys rushed him, the alley confining them to pairs of two and one in the back. As the first two collided with him, they attacked in tandem. The first went for a kick with his left leg, thrusting it low to Old Hickory's ankle. The second boy went for a punch where he expected the General's face to be once he was tripped. However, Jackson lifted his own left leg and swiftly brought it down upon the first youth's knee, at the same time jabbing him in the diaphragm with his cane, driving the air from his lungs to prevent a scream. The second boy landed a punch, but not on his exposed face. Rather, he hit the armored chest plate of ceramic, breaking most of the bones in his hand. A jab to the windpipe from the General's right hand sent him to the ground, clutching his throat. He spun to his right, grabbing the first lad's mouth and pinching his nose, while at the same time swinging his extended left arm and cane, smashing into the third boy's head and knocking him out cold. The fourth backed up until he was with the fifth, and both stood there squatting in fighting poses, inching forward and back. The first boy stopped struggling and collapsed, unconscious. Jackson dropped him to the floor, facing his full body to the last two of the gang. He stood tall, and nodded. The boys looked to each other. This was a mistake, made evident as the cane was thrown into the left one's face. The other boy turned to face Jackson, seeing only a black silhouette towering above him before he felt a hand clutch the left side of his face. He ceased to comprehend as his head was viciously slammed into the wall to his right. The last boy looked up as the General turned to him, dropping the fourth companion. Half of his body was now visible, revealing a long, imperious face that glared at the boy with all the authority of Fate and Doom.[/i] "[b]He'll live. They all will. But that is not a permanent state. Everyone dies eventually. However, spending your time doing things like this will bring that bill due faster than intended. I let you live, not because I care for any of you, and not because you're youthful, but because [i]it would be too inconvenient to kill you[/i]. Keep that in mind, that the only reason you all live, is because you're not worth the time and effort to kill. I may hold that sympathy. Others will not. You [i]will[/i] run into someone who doesn't care for convenience, or for his own time. And then you will die.[/b]" [i]The boy opened his mouth, to say his apologies, to beg forgiveness, but was prematurely silenced by a kick to the side of his head. Jackson, left alone, retrieved his cane and walked off. He had escaped unscathed, but his frown remained. Had they been more experienced, he'd have been threatened. As such, he came to a realization. Freelance was too dangerous now. He needed a following, or a cause to follow. He pulled out his phone, looking up where the nearest library was. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He'd heard of the Legion. Hushed tones and quiet conversations, carried out in the dark corners of the room. However, until he'd done his own research, he'd had no idea just what they were. Even now, he was still unsure as to their purpose and job, as the sites regarding them were ambiguous, and the talks about them on other third party sites had been taken down. However, what was clear was that they were NTR, and operated as some sort of stealth unit. There was his answer. A unit that allowed him to work individually, yet have backup and a cause, as well as numerous allies. He grinned as he sent a radio transmission to the Crusader. This should at least provide some entertainment.[/i] [spoiler]JT.[/spoiler]
