[i] The Dojo. Located on the diverse planet of Tatakai, the Dojo consists of the largest gathering of fighters the universe has ever seen.

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!

[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.

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)

Edited by Old Man Kent: 12/18/2016 3:50:23 PM[b]The Newcomer Has a Son... | Somewhere in the Dojo[/b] Kent Logan walks into the Dojo, his visor glowing a bright red, a skull carved into the center. His AR-15 can be seen strapped onto his back - along with a sniper, oddly resembling that of a M107A1, which sits diagonally from the assault rifle. A U.S cavalry sabre is sheathed on his waist, and two Chiappa Rhino's are holstered on his thighs. Right on his sacrum, is a quiver of sorts, which is very small, and doesn't seem to hold any arrows; a bowie knife also sits neatly in its leather knife holster, which is located on his shoulder. Upon entering the Dojo, he is welcomed by the thriving life of it. All of the different races and ethnicities always struck Kent as a surprise for some reason. He never fully understood why it surprised him, but it did. It was very odd. Kent continues down the streets of the Dojo, asking people if they have seen a large man in all white armor - it was urgent. Each person he asked, however, said that they have seen him at least once, congregating with people from around the area. Kent wanders, trying to find him. He seemed to be exactly like Rhys when he had first arrived. Clueless. Kent didn't know where he was, and needed to know quickly. He checked everywhere that had a lot of people, such as bars (though Kent knew he didn't like to drink), markets, and so on. He even checked every hotel, but still couldn't find a single trace on him. Kent would be frustrated at this point, but there are some… complications with his emotions. Kent finally decides to check the fighting arena. He never thought Rhys to be much of a fighting man, especially when first meeting someone, but he hoped that he'd be standing there - triumphant over the body of his combatant. But alas, Kent found the opposite when entering the arena. All he found was Rhys, lying on the ground… dead. A spark ignited inside of Kent, a spark of anger. A spark of sorrow and annoyance. He could feel these emotions, but just barely. Just feeling them sparked even more of an annoyance, because Kent was used to not feeling; the thought of feeling such emotions, emotions that are never associated with happiness, angered him. He wanted his first moments of emotion to be happy and cheerful. Not hatred and sorrow. He punches the ground, his hand creating a large hole in the surface of the arena. He continues to punch until there is nothing but a hole the length of his arm. He needed to let out his anger. He needed to find the killer. Kent swipes over to the diagnostic reader on his wrist, the eyes in his helmet glow a bright yellow. He scans Rhys's body, and finds two puncture wounds in his back, and some light bruising on his cheek. [i]He was stabbed and kicked in the head… explains why his helmet is off[/i], Kent thinks to himself. Rhys was hit right on the vertebrae, only once however, the second puncture wound went directly into Rhys's heart. [i]This was supposed to be a damn simulation, why the hell did he go in as himself? He could have survived.[/i] Kent thought with a sigh. [i]There's nothing I can do about it now… but I want to know who killed him.[/i] Kent reads the wounds on Rhys's back, realizing that they're caused by an unknown substance. Kent was confused. He didn't know anyone with weaponry such as this. Kent reaches over for Rhys's helmet, pulling a chip out of the back of it. Kent then ejects the chip from his own helmet, inserting the one he grabbed from Rhys. It's a chip that allows people to see what has happened in a person's past, through their own point of view. Rhys was fighting someone, it was hard to make out who. The weaponry they used and the way they talked sounded very familiar to Kent. He plays the audio clip back multiple times, listening to the man's voice. He knew. Kent rips the chip out of his helmet, inserting it back into Rhys's. He stands, picking up Rhys's body, carrying him out of the arena back to Kent's ship. When inside, Kent puts him on a medical bench, which starts to heal his wounds and gradually repairs any damaged tissue. Before Kent leaves his ship to go back to the Dojo, he grabs two disc-like objects from a locked container under his control panel. He then attaches them to the palms of his hands, charging them up to the point where they are glowing a very bright yellow. Kent walks out of the ship's hatch, moving quickly towards the Dojo's gates. There will be blood today. [spoiler]Open to JJ Closed to everyone else, but some critique would be appreciated[/spoiler]
