OOC: Since my latest RPs have been either based on animes or of a less action packed variety, I have decided to make one that I hope you will like.
 The time period is of a future close to the modern times we all know of, or so we thought. However, it has been recently discovered in the year 2000 that there is a special energy within every human beings, known as Qigong. Only the governments of 5 nations knew about it, and forced certain people who happened to have a high supply of Qi to become clans, hoping for a way to use them as weapons. Fearing for their lives, the mortals complied without hesitation, forming 5 different clans in the process. Those clans developed their own fighting styles known as Tao, each with their own abilties. Because of their differences, the clans are not on good terms, often avoiding each other as much as possible. Of course, none of that no longer seems to matter. As a way to keep the peace, the government has organized a gathering in a colossal pogoda, inviting influencal representatives from each of the clans. This event is quite large, for it could mean peace for the major nations. Only fate will decide what happens now. Of course, fate never promises a happy ending... Clans ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tao: Tao is a fighting style created from mastering the placement of Qi within a certain location. Fire: Native of America, one from this clan works on pushing Qi within their legs and arms, allowing them to move, kick, and punch at speeds previously unheard of. People of this tao believe in destroying their opponents quickly, trying to avoid less damage, and generally keep things interesting. As such, they use a huge amount of Qi in a short amount of time, often disasterous for them if they have not defeated their foe in that time period. Water: Instead of using their Qi to cover larger areas like the rest of the clans, these clan members from England choose to focus their energy within their eyes and finger tips. This allows for great perception and powerful blows of the from small areas of the body, allowing them to evade most, if not all, attacks and cause their opponents to be pushed from the other side of a room with a mear touch. They fight by persuvering, and often their attacks do nothing but counter the force exserted by their enemies. Wood: Canada is the home to these people, which beforehand was not considered as much of a threat as it was before. Believed to be the Jack of All Trades in the clans, they practice controlling their Qi in many different locations of the body, instead of focusing on targeted points. As such, they do not accel at much, but are the most versitile of the clans. This sort of style is bizzare, but may prove very effective. Because of this combined use of the different locations of the body, those from this clan have learned to use that practice to generate energy from life, however, have so far only be able to use trees and plants to do so, considering the fact that the clan was quite recently created, much like the rest. Earth: The people of Greece practice the art of the Earth Tao, and are quite feared because of their interesting style. They focus on placing their Qigong supply in the soles of their feet and their hands. The feet are used to bind their feet to the earth, making mobility impossible, but their defenses great, since the damage is focused into the earth. Second, the hands are used to create a huge amount of damage in only a single punch, often finishing off a person with no difficulties if the attack hits. Metal: Different from the other clans, those from Japan, China, and Korea focus on placing their Qi into their weapons, perferably the sword. By doing this, they can control and manipulate their weapons into any shape, size, or form they wish, even being able to seperate their blades into smaller ones and shower the enemy with the barrage. Because of this, however, their bodies do not have strength as the others. However, often times, one can not reach them in fear of the Metal Taos weapons being able to morph into what could potentially impale them onto the ground. This, like the Fire and Earth clans, takes a considerable amount of Qi to use, and thus they try destroying their foes in a single strike if possible. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Character Creation: Name: Age: Clan: Bio: Appearance: *Note: Please try being a different clan than someone else, at least until all the clans have been taken.* Rules: 1. No god-modding. 2. No infinite amounts of Qigong. 3. No killing someone without permission. 4. No landing hits before someone has a chance to retaliate. 5. No dodging every attack, with the exception of the Water Taos. 6. No abusing the power of the Water Taos to a god-modding extent. 7. Follow the rules. 8. Read the rules. :lol: |

Name: Aoshi Age: 17 Clan: Water Bio: Despite his name being of a Japanese origin, Aoshi is actually from England. It just so happens that his parents were enthusiasts of the Metal Tao, and often wanted Aoshi to take it. Instead, Aoshi decided to stay within his roots, and has learned of the Water Tao since. At the age of 10, Aoshi became an assassin of the crown, his mission to kill those who are either from other clans or who have left the Water Tao and could potentially reveal the secret of their art. He does this tasks willfully without hesitation, with some even believing that they enjoy it. He also has an inability to lie, and will often answer any question about himself that he is allowed to by his government. Appearance:  Aoshi is walking towards the pogoda, carrying a stainless steal briefcase with him. His movements are naturally silent, given his occupation has forced such a precaution at second nature. He shows the invitation to the guard, and is admitted into the pogoda, finding himself to be the first one here. He adjusts his glasses as he leans on a banister in the foyer, awaiting the rest of the company. |

Name: Dezna Age: 17 Clan: Metal Bio: The only boy in his family with Qi. He only has a small amount of japanese in him, which is hard to see. He's usually kind, but will become serious when he needs to. Much is still to be revealed about him. Appearance: Brown hair and eyes, blue jeans, black shirt and jacket, black fingerless gloves, and a black bandanna. He also has a couple different tattoos on him. Dezna strolls towards the guards in a nonchalant attitude. Guard 1: Got the pass? Dezna: Yeah, right here. He shows off his pass, and is admitted entrance. He walks in to the foyer, and notices Aoshi. He walks up to him, and tries to start a conversation. Dezna: Hey. I'm Dezna. He holds out his hand, hoping he didn't screw up. |

Only Aoshi's eyes would respond, glaring at Dezna with those beguiling, amethyst eyes of his. He then returned his eyes foward again as he adjusts his glasses. ???: "Ah! I see the first two guests have arrived." Name: Sebastian Age: 25  Sebastian: "Please, allow me to introduce myself. I am Sebastian, the host of this fine party." He is on the top step of the stairs, his hand gently resting on the rail. |

Sebastian: "Only at first glance. We are still awaiting the other guests to arrive." Sebastian slid down the rail, and landed next to Dezna. "I do hope you will enjoy your stay here at Kaiser Pogoda." |

Dezna: Well, sounds good enough to me. He then walks over to the punch bowl, and gets a glass. |

Aoshi does not bother getting a glass, and instead walks upstairs to the second floor, placing his briefcase in a closet. It was obvious this place was huge, larger than most mansions. So much so that a person could become lost here. Either way, Aoshi returns to the foyer, but continues to not speak. Sebastian: "He seems a bit unhappy. Anyways, this pogoda is large, I believe 49 floors above this one, so please try and not get lost. Oh...."Sebastian opened a door to a large ballroom, filled with shimmering, crystal lights and stands of luxurious food. "And don't worry, there is more than punch here." He laughed as he strolled along, his cane hitting the ground every other second. |

Dezna: This place has everything. I'm guessing our rooms are based on our likes, I'm guessing. |

Sebastian: "Correct. However, enjoy the party now. Curfews are far too overrated." He offers to dance with a woman, and they waltz to the classical music. "Feel free to do as you please." |

Dezna: I could get used to this. He then spots a girl winking at him across the room. He walks over, and starts talking with her. |

Appearance:  fun facts: he only wears the bandage on his face for fashion, and he likes to adress people as "pal". |

OOC: Nice idea.
Aoshi could almost see that there was someone approaching the pagoda, someone who seemed completely different to himself. He never did like anyone from the Fire Clan, believing their Tao to be simply idiotic and savage, as did the rest of his clan. Regardless, Aoshi knew that there would be such a case here, and decided to maintain a distance from him and everyone else. Despite the fact that there were women who would care to dance, he isolated himself from the rest of the troupe. |

Dezna: Later! He then walked over to Aoshi in a relaxed pace. Dezna: C'mon, you're missing the fun! |

Aoshi did not respond; he did not even look at Dezna. He adjusted his glasses with care, waiting this Fire clan member to appear. He knew they would send at least one, perhaps two representatives, and dispised them far to much to allow for a peace treaty. |
