[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!

[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.

[u][b]Good Business | Billhook Cleaners, Dojoville[/b][/u] [spoiler]Open.[/spoiler] Billhook Cleaners. The new family-owned cleaning business that had just opened up in the Dojo. It was a genius idea in theory - in a place full of battles and bloodshed, there was no place to give proper maintenance to equipment. They offered custom jobs: steam-cleaning powered armour, service drones that handled enchanted swords, and AI that could strip, clean, then reassemble the most complex guns that looked like they were pulled out of the pages of some sci-fi magazine. A conventional business, and the only one of its kind. After all, it seemed much more useful to the Dojo than a Starbucks - well, ever since Starbucks had stopped being a weapons shop. The owner was one Mason Cartier, an aging white man who seemed well-built for his middle age. Salt and pepper hair was neatly combed, in-line with his casual button-down and khakis. Mason limped through the many cleaning units that lined his building's walls. He used a gunmetal grey cane to aid in movement, his left leg entrapped in an exoskeletal brace. A strange thing in the Dojo, a place where mechanical augmentation and magic could easily fix any sort of ailments. He reflected on the conversation that came just before while drifting between cleaning units, losing himself in his own recollection. ~~~ "Who would've thought that you'd end up here of all places?" the Arabic man asked his friend at the counter. He chuckled in response. "My days in the field are over. I'm better off in my quiet little business here." "You and I both know that's not true." "Of course it's not. This is my job as well as yours." "No, I don't mean that." The storeowner was silent for a moment. "How can you stand it, Moss? Knowing that there's maniacs like that still out there? People like [i]him[/i] from here?" "I can't, Art." "Mason. It's Mason now." "They really [i]do[/i] have a sense of irony, don't they? Moss, Mason, Lingchi." "Don't remind me of him. He gives me the creeps." "You get used to being constantly psychoanalyzed." "Speak for yourself." The two shared one last laugh before the Arabic man stood up from his bench and gave his old friend a hug over the counter. "Stay safe." "In a place like this? That's impossible." "As safe as you can, anyways." Fixing his turban, the well-dressed Mr. Moss put his dark blue suit jacket back on and adjusted his signature hunter green tie. "I guess I'll be seeing you, [i]Mason.[/i]" "You too, Moss. You too." ~~~ He looked at his digital watch, accessing his calendar and checking if there were any special visitors scheduled to come. As soon as he began scrolling through the various dates, he shrugged and closed the app. If anyone noteworthy came in, he would deal with them accordingly.
