THE DOJO

[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]The New Dojo(JOIN HERE!)[/i][/b] [spoiler]Join our group! Free of charge! I swear! https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Forum/1677784/0/3/0 USE THIS LINK IF THAT OTHER ONE DOES NOT WORK. https://www.bungie.net/en/Groups/Chat?groupId=1677784 Once you pass your test and have joined the group sign here: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/215168136/0/0 NOTE: You do not have to be tested to join the dojo. Only to PvP. [/spoiler] [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] [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) Bio's(RECCOMENDED) https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/212677641/0/0 Backstory for Characters https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1677784/217556475/0/0 Property Creator https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1677784/220228259/0/0 Writers Hub https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1677784/220575696/0/0 Faction Creator https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1677784/222042811/0/0 [/spoiler] [b][i]The Dojo[/i][/b] [spoiler] Physical Appearance https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/212677894/0/0 NOTE: The dojo only uses Mac Cannons for any kind of defense.

    [b][i]Ghosts of the Past[/i][/b] [i]"Out of the night comes a song that I know Twisted and ruined and black I can remember the people they were Nobody knows if they ever come back Lost in the ashes of time they still sing Echoes of romance gone bad I can remember them better than you I shared the nightmares they had Dead and gone" -Motörhead[/i] [b]Seven Years Prior, Earth, Alternate Dimension[/b] [i]The casket was lowered into the ground slowly, an American flag draped atop it, customary for a soldier. The cemetery was small, a little one a ways away from any town, surrounded by a grove of trees. In the cold winter air, all except the pines bore no leaves, and snow covered the ground in a light dusting. The sky was a bleak grey, snow blowing gently in the icy breeze. The group of fifty-some odd people stood watching, some women crying, some men tearing up, some people's faces contorted into expressions of sorrow. And yet, the fifteen-year-old Jackson Wolfe stood silently, expressionless, as his father was lowered into the ground, where soon he'd be no more than worm food. A grim thought, but even that elicited no tears or sadness from the boy. Shock had yet to subside, it had only been two days before that he had witnessed his father shot down before his very eyes. For two days, he had been holed up in his room, silent, without words, tears, sometimes even thought. It didn't feel real to him, as if it were all a dream, something that he would awake from in a sweat, but the awakening never came. This was real. The winter's wind blowing his hair and nipping at his cheeks and ears was real. He was standing in his black suit, matching black cowboy boots, watching the conclusion of the funeral. The people who had consoled him were real, they had hugged him, telling him some useless piece of advice about moving on. And so, as the casket reached the bottom of the hole, the adults moved off, talking to one another, speaking to his mother, who's make-up ran down her face as she cried silently. Jackson stood back, silently, and only once everyone had moved back, did he go to the grave, and look down. The flag looked back it him, almost a mockery of his father. The same people he defended ended up killing him. They used him. After a moment of silent thought, he too walked away, leaving the grave to be filled in later that day. The adults had all begun to return to their cars, there was to be a dinner that night that he'd be forced to attend. Oh joy. Catching up with the group, he shuffled into his mother's car, and soon the group was headed to his grandmother's house. The ride was silent, solemn. Neither mother nor son spoke to each other, her focusing on the road, him gazing out at the forests and clearings, bare, and glazed with snow... [/i] [b]Outside of The Dojo, Tatakai [/b] [i]Wolfe snapped out of his daydream, blinking rapidly a few times. Sitting atop the hill, he looked out over the Dojo below, and the surrounding clearings, hills, and forests. He came out to be alone and think often. He preferred the calm and silence, it was peaceful. The memories, though, he could live without, but there was no erasing what was. No matter what he willed, he couldn't change the past. And so he lived with it, a constant struggle. Some days, he felt alright, others, it hit much harder, and he avoided people. It was hard to throw one's burdens on others, and it was something Jackson refused to do. If questioned about his behavior, his mood, his tendency to be alone, he dodged it, there was no reason to push. He was coping, it just took time. Maybe one day, the pain would be like the people: dead and gone.[/i] [spoiler]Open. Also, feel free to critique.[/spoiler]
