[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][i]The moonlight shined down upon the forest, the light shining through the branches and leaves above. Sitting there looking into the night sky with his partner next to him he thought about things. About the new people he had met here, the friends he left behind, what he had come to do here in the first place. His head swirling with thoughts as he shook his head. Now wasn't the time to be thinking about that kind of thing. They had a job to do at least that's why they were sent to this place. Getting up he began moving through the forest. The sound of crunching leaves and twigs snapping underneath his foot as he did so. The cold night air making his breath be seen as he walked. He had no doubt in his mind this is what he should do. After the job was done then what? He didn't know that answer. There was no way back home, no way to find out what other contracts they would have needed him to do. As his thoughts began to build up he could hear a voice enter his mind.[/i][/b] "Don't think to hard about everything. We can get ideas once this over. For now we focus on the task we were sent here to do." [b][i]Looking over his shoulder he could see his partner flying behind him. A orange and red feathered bird with yellow eyes gazing back at him. To most she would look just like an animal, but to him he knew better. She was a spirit bonded to him since he was a child. They had been through a lot together. Fights, contracts, even a fight with one of the old members of the council of spirits. But that was when they had back up from the others. This would be one of the first times they would do this alone. The thought worried him, knowing he still needed training. That he couldn't control the powers he was given still. Never the less they needed to take down this creature. If not then... well who knows what it could do. For all he knew from his past experiences it could do anything from destroy a town, to enslave people under its control in an attempt at mass destruction. No matter what it would do he wouldn't allow it to get the chance.[/i][/b] ——————————————————— [u][b]Two days later:[/b][/u] [b][i]The sound of the ocean could be heard from here. His feet causing foot prints in the sandy beach. Searching around his eyes peeled, his partner soaring from above as she scouted. No sign of the target yet as he heard the voice enter his head once more.[/i][/b] "I can sense the target it's up ahead!" [b][i]Looking at the cliffside that was connected to the beach all he could see was a sheer face. As his eyes glanced around more carefully he could barely make out what looked to be a cave. Moving a bit faster now he began his approach to the cave. His heart pounding as he came towards it. As he approached the cliff side the bird became a white light. Entering his body as a tattoo on his left hand was formed out of flames. A phoenix symbol now engraved into it. Drawing one of his knives he tossed it up the cliff side. The red and orange metal glinting in the sunset. As it reached its max peak a dust like substance emerged from it. In a flash the boy was burnt into what seemed like ash. Reappearing at where the dust had left the knife. Gripping onto its black hilt with his left hand as he spun in the air. Throwing a identical copy of the knife from his other side. Once again the dust emerged and he changed places. One after another until he reached the cave. Looking at the now empty compartments in his blades. With a deep sigh he realized his mistake, the now used up dust wouldn't be any use in this fight. Glancing around for a way out incase it was needed he could see a narrow bath spiraling up the the top of the cliff side. His partners voice entering his mind, seeming a bit irritated.[/i][/b] "There was a path this whole time?! And you used up our ash?!" "Hey look I didn't think about it okay? I'm nervous we haven't done this before.." "Just make sure to stay focused and not make the same mistake in combat." "I won't I promise Minerva." [b][i]The conversation seeming to take place in his head as the voice quieted down. Moving into the cave with his blades drawn. It was time, no backing out now. As he entered the cave a loud rumbling could be heard. The ground and walls shaking slightly from the force. Stumbling a bit as he shakes his head. No not now he couldn't be afraid now. That would only get him killed. Moving deeper into the cave the noise got louder and louder. Until finally he saw it, there sleeping was a giant wyvern like beast. Scales from head to toe in a sickly green color. It's horns multiple horns spiked and protruding from its head. A giant pair of wings and a spiked tail adoring it. Moving towards the beast he could see multiple bone piles. Torn apart bodies and leftover gear littered all over the cave. Close to the creature now he moved slowly. Watching his footsteps his breathing quieter now. Just close enough to get the first strike. When suddenly a crunching sound emerges from underneath him. A destroyed bone now below him that he had missed. In an instant the creature was wide awake letting out a terrifying roar. Turning to face him his eyes going wide. Trying to move to a save place, but it was to late. The creatures claws grabbing him as hit soared through the cave. He could see the beach below him as the wind whistled by him. Trying to stab into the claw. Nicking it doing nothing, in a sense of fear his blades begin to ignite in flame. This time stabbing into the creature as it lets go. Falling to the beach below as a crunching sound was heard once again. Broken ribs and possibly an arm now in his body as he quickly gets up. The adrenaline allowing him to fight through the pain. He wasn't prepared but like it or not the fight had begun.[/i][/b] [spoiler]Open! Help him watch him from afar the choice is up to you![/spoiler]
