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]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.
[/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)

[spoiler]This is a prequel to the post I made previously with Kent's daughter.[/spoiler] [b]It Is Time | Old Earth | Part II[/b] “Hey, wake up.” A soft voice says next to Kent. “C'mon, you're going to be late.” Kent opens his eyes, Sylvia is laying right beside him, her bright green eyes staring into his. Her dark brown hair falls evenly down her shoulder, covering the face of her neck. She smiles at him, her dimples resting prominently on her cheeks. “You're so cute when you're sleeping.” She says with a smile. “But it's time to get up…” “Get up.” Kent wakes up, somehow still driving in a straight line. He grips the steering wheel, letting out a deep sigh. He puts his head back on his seat, sweat trickling down his forehead. The hospital is just up the road, now in his view. He pulls into the parking lot, unbuckling his seatbelt he rushes towards the door. The bright lights of the hospital lobby seem to blind him. He shields his eyes, holding his wrist up to his forehead. “Psst, hey. You're awake. Good.” His wife begins speaking to him again, this time, in front of the bedroom mirror. “You look great. That tie really compliments your eyes.” She grins, adjusting his suit coat. “Thanks, I appreciate it.” He puts his hand on her cheek, kissing her forehead. He slowly strokes her cheek with his thumb, gazing into her eyes. “Have I ever told you how beautiful [i]you[/i] are?” “I don't think you have.” She replies with a smile, wrapping her arms around his neck. “You think I would have by now… because goddamn I'm a lucky man.” He kisses her. They stand for a few minutes, staring into each other's eyes, exchanging a few kind words until finally Kent was reminded of the time. “Looks like it's time to go.” She says with a soft grin. “I don't want to go.” He says, holding onto her hands. “You have to… it's time.” She lets go of his hands, walking backwards. Kent walks towards her, only for the room to elongate, Sylvia now seeming to be getting further and further away with each step taken. Kent begins to yell her name as she turns away, the room now long enough to be a hallway, and at the end of it -- a bright light. Sylvia walks toward it, not seeming to hear Kent screaming her name, wanting her to come back. Soon, her body fades into the light, leaving nothing but an empty corridor. Kent runs down it, nurses and doctors now filling up the empty spaces. Rooms begin to form around him, patients lying inside, visitors moving in and out. Some crying, some not. He quickens his pace, trying to find the right room. Though, when he arrives, doctors and nurses are standing outside, talking to one another. Kent tries to walk past, only to be stopped by a doctor. “I'm sorry… but you can't go in.” He says, his voice calm yet solemn. “I need to see her…” He tries to push past him, but can't. He got a glimpse of her, he knew. “Mr. Logan, I'm very sorry, but she passed away just a few minutes ago.” He places a hand on Kent's shoulder. “The cancer spread to her-” “I know where it spread to. I got the call… I just thought there would be enough time…” Tears begin to fill his eyes as the realization hits him -- his wife is gone. The woman he thought to be perfect is now dead. Kent breaks down, falling to the floor, crying out his wife's name. The subtle tears becoming heavy sobs. The doctors and nurses help him up, but he pushes them away, rushing into the room. He runs to her bed, her skin pale and her eyes closed. Her long brown hair is gone, all that remains is a bald head. The chemotherapy did not work, the surgeries did not work -- nothing worked. They tried so hard, but nothing worked. Kent kneels down next to her, holding her lifeless hand with both of his. He rests his forehead on the edge of the bed, crying. “Please Sylvia, please don't go… Not now. I need you. I need you here with me. Without you I am no one… I am without a cause… Please…” He leans toward her, kissing her forehead. Nurses walk in and grab Kent by the shoulders, gently pulling him away. “Sir, we have to ask you to leave.” One of the women say to him, trying to gain his attention. Kent cannot reply. He just lets them walk him back out of the room, his eyes now a light pink from crying. He still can't comprehend the situation at hand -- she's gone. The nurses sit him down at one of the benches in the hall, a woman stays to keep him company, asking him questions. He answers none, but begins to speak. “I didn't get to see her.” His lip quivers as he tries to hold back his years. “She needed me here, and I let her down…” He rests his chin on his folded hands, now sitting in his lap. “It was going to be a eight year anniversary next month…” He continues. “We would have went out for dinner, and I would have taken her to the park to dance under the gazebo. That's when she'd call me cheesy…” He chuckles at the thought, though soon realizing the situation. “Though that will never happen.” He finishes. Nurses bring Sylvia out on her bed, rolling her down the hall towards an elevator, there she will be taken to the morgue. Kent watches as his wife goes past, he waves to her, blowing her a kiss as he whispers goodbye. He closes his eyes as he leans back on the bench, a tear rolling down his cheek. All of the memories rush into his head, like times where they would have snowball fights before they'd go to work, or when Sylvia would write sweet notes on his pancakes in the morning for breakfast. He’ll miss her sweet lips that would always greet him with a goodmorning or goodnight kiss. He'll miss her goofy attitude when they'd cook dinner together. He will miss everything about her. He will miss [i]her[/i]. [spoiler]Closed. Open to comments.[/spoiler]
