[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]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]World Creation(Getting started at the Dojo starts here)[/i][/b]

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)

[i]De asini umbra disciptatare[/i] [i]dojoville, starbucks[/i] A tendrils of blue flame licked the walls of the Starbucks, leaving the wall blackened and scorched in its wake, as a shockwave resonated out of the cafe, shattering glass instantly and sending various coffee-related wares flying out, quickly followed by a man, with scorched hair and slightly burnt clothes, who was himself trailed by another bolt of aquamarine energy, which was ducked, and continued to completely bisect a nearby tree. Out of the store stepped a woman, radiating a cruel blue that seemed to consume all colours around her The man managed to get to his feet in time to see her emergence, and quickly took a cylinder off his belt and started to back away. "Look, I didn't [i]mean[/i] to offend you, and I don't really want this, so if-" The woman cut in. "Don't worry, you're not alone, in [i]your[/i] situation, I don't think anyone could want this." "Okay, I've got places to go, so-" He was cut off by a high-pitched whine coming from the woman's hands as blue light began to crackle around them. He rolled his eyes, and pressed a button on the cylinder, as a light blue shield extended from it, only to be bleached white by a blast of energy coming from the woman's hands. the man crouched down, careful not to pet any part of his body out of the shadow of his shield, as if he was in the eye of a storm of white fire. The cylinder started to beep urgently, as it began to heat up, it's batteries beginning to be overfilled by the immense energy collected by the shield. The man winced as the cylinder's heat began to cause pain, and connected it to a thin cable attached to his belt, which began to glow red, then yellow as it had to carry the load placed upon it. The belt started to light up, and sounded a bleep of contentment as all of the devices attached to it were charged, and the man attempted to take a device, looking like the cross between a swis army knife and a charge pack from the belt, burning himself on the cable in the process, and activated it, an orange light starting to glow from it, as he deactivated his shield, cursing from the burn. Instantly a veritable shelf of white crystal formed where the shield was, refracting the light hitting in, which its self was crystallised, until a small wall of crystal separated the two. The man pressed a button on the device, and the wall of crystal began to expand towards the woman, who countered it with a stronger blast, which, of course, sped up it's spread, as it shot up the beam, until it reached it's source, the woman's forarms, by which time she realised perhaps she should stop. The man turned off the device and started to examine the work of art he had helped create, and then left. "Excuse me?" He turned around, to see the woman awkwardly leaning on her crystallised forarms. "What?" "Aren't you going to call the police, or...?" The man shrugged. "No, that stuff's hard light crystal, couldn't do -blam!- to it even if I tried." With that, he walked off, internally mourning the loss of the Starbucks destroyed. [spoiler]open[/spoiler]
