Within the Yunzhou mountain range of the Sleeping Maw continent, where the land towers above all who dare approach, there lies a small monastery—nay, a temple, whose existence remains unknown to the world. While cultivators-to-be travel far and wide, seeking fortune and glory at famous clan sects, this hidden corner of the world has caught almost no attention. Though those cultivating here may wish for strength or power, their residence here shows that their desire for strength only goes so far. After all, how could they compare to things like the Raging Phoenix sect, whose blows part the skies in a flurry of fiery rage whenever they meet another in combat? Or what of the Shining Fangs clan, whose influence reaches across the vastest oceans and the deepest reaches of the Stormrock continent? No, rather, within the wisps of fog and cloud that seems to remain around these lands and hides them from any who would attempt to invade, the cultivators here bide their time and train. Thus, this clan—the Eightfold Lotus—seeks to raise their strength out of sight. While others may seek strength in numbers, what does that matter before the strength of the few, the hidden, and the dominant?

But not all roads to strength are clear-cut, and not all paths tread are the same. The daily lives of those who reside here, at this hidden alcove in the world, may not remain as stagnant as it has always been.

The strength of their souls ever growing, their desire for strength ever rising—will they reach their peak among the immortals whose names are etched within history, or shall they fall nameless, as cultivators shall time and time again?


Heyo, people who are looking at this right now because reasons! As the title suggests, this is a wuxia RP (with a few xianxia elements here and there), so I'm gonna be borrowing elements from a lot of other works of the genre. For the most part, the RP will be high fantasy with VERY heavy Asian influences (mainly Chinese), so plan accordingly.

I'm kinda borrowing the cultivation system from I Shall Seal the Heavens, so if you know what that is, great! If you don't, well... No need to worry, because a general idea of the system I plan on using in the RP is coming... Now!



Now for some of the more... Generic stuff to note.
  • Medicines and pills will be important, as is expected. Of course, things targeted towards cultivation aren't the same as regular medicines, so not everyone can make these.
  • Magical creatures exist within the world. These can take many forms, mythical or chimeric or what have you, but they're all relatively dangerous. Of course, normal ones exist too, but that's another matter. These creatures will tend to have traits or what have you imbued within their qi, and yes, that can be absorbed by the players.
    ...
    Provided it's handled correctly.
  • Dark qi also exists. It has a variety of effects, but it's not always bad. Just very, very prone to going haywire if not controlled. It can also end up like the good ol' soul-scarring wave of death and destruction if allowed to go crazy, so... Careful around the stuff.
  • Wuxia leaning xianxia means we can go pretty fantastical with abilities, but not too high fantasy in style with it. Keep things from getting to crazy from right off the bat. I expect most RPers to start at around stage 3-4 and not go anywhere near 5 for a while, though, so.


So, without further ado, heeere's a form!


Questions can be thrown at me in the OoC here, so yeah. I'd like to think I'm fairly reasonable when it comes to discussing issues that may pop up, so feel free to ask if you've got anything TO ask.

  • Name: Fa Chunhua
  • Age: 20
  • Gender: Male
  • Appearance:
  • Personality: Fa Chunhua is a happy go lucky person that is vested in the freedom to do as he likes and also strives to bring happiness to others with his antics. A true blue believer of enjoying the best things in life, he tends to go crazy with interest at shiny new things- especially food and wild animals that could feasibly be tameable. That said, he also knows the world is a merciless place and that one's own fist has to be strong in order to have a voice in the world so he trains as hard as he plays.
  • Stage: Foundation Establishment
  • Abilities:
  • Nested
    • Purple-Gold Fire Cloud: Fa Chunhua's cultivation technique that combines the principles of both yin and yang. The yin is Gold Cloud which creates an aura that makes that body as light as a cloud or as heavy as gold while the yang is Purple Fire which makes sudden acceleration as swift as a blaze sparking into life and blows as ferocious as nine tigers. A praciticioner of Purple Gold Fire Cloud can dash through the air on specks of dust themselves before finally being able to fly through the air as easily as drifting clouds or root themselves to the ground like a steady mountain to borrow the power of the earth. Users of sufficient skill can use it to easily create after images, change direction in midair, and even use less effort to gain more speed in one direction as by lessening air drag. While not the fastest or most powerful of techniques, it is quite fuel efficient. Plus it creates a purple gold aura that looks like either a cloud or fire for the discerning eye that can mess with opponent's body by generate 'true fire' to help with smelting or alchemy or just plain burn things really good and a cloudy veil that can heal and purify injuries.
    • Pure Jade Immortal Hands- A palm/fist/finger technique that causes the hands to become extremely tough and tensile but at the same time being able to remain slender and dainty appearances that normally would be counterproductive to the handling of weapons or barehanded attacks. The unique circulation of ki through the aperctures emanates a purifying glow that can also stop disperse poisons of equal or lesser to the grade than the martial practicioner's stage as well as the ability to gently create or destroy blockages in meridians and energy channels with soft but abrasive force.
    • Chaos Stirring Spear- A spear technique that does as its name suggests, specializing in having no set form and integrating other style's compatible techniques within its own growth to personally fit the user's attributes. In Fa Chunhua's case, his spearwork incorporates the ability to defend and attack at the same time, blending truths and falsehoods into his eccentric movements so as to confuse people on where he would strike. One could even see what was straight suddenly bend and twist like a poisonous snake or have the blade slice in the complete opposite direction where one would think it could come from. With Chunhua's current cultivation, he can thrust ten times a second at full power, turn boulders into gravels and dust, and slice apart common metals with ease.
  • Items:
    • Immortal Flower Pin- A flower pin that is actually a treasured herb that sustains itself with the energy of heaven and earth. Wearing it and breathing in the herbal scent helps to clear the mind of tiredness and inner demons as well as purifies the surrounding air of toxins. A user can become exhausted even with the Immortal Flower Pin's effect but they'll be able to fight for longer than people without it.
    • Qilin Shows The Way- Chunhua's treasured magical spear that was crafted from the shed horn and scales of a juvenile Qilin as well as the shaft being formed from Immortal Bamboo. It holds powerful purifying abilities- especially towards creatures of great Yin such as wraiths and specters. It can continuously evolve provided it bathes in places of especially powerful and pure ki. Sharp, sturdy, and flexible all in one weapon, it is a versatile weapon.
    • Dancing Fairy Silks- Silks made from the Gossamer Fairy Silkworm, incredibly sturdy and easy to clean while at the same time light as a feather. Chunhua actually keeps one around in his Bag of Holding to generate silk for clothing repair.
  • History: Fa Chunhua was a regular kitchen worker in a rural village that had wanted to learn martial arts. One day while he was out collecting firewood, he accidentally stumbled onto a strange purple gold flower and due to starving at the time due to horrible employment treatment that most serfs got, he ate said flower. Of course, this heavenly treasure was what changed his bones and reforged his previously weak body into something suitable for martial arts, complementing his inborn physique as well. Now able to survive in the wilds without needing to seek refuge among mortals, the boy took off as fast as possible to attempt to become greater than previously was and succeeded.
  • Others: Has on hand a regular bag of holding, a scroll that shows him how to tame beasts, and a unique physique called the True Yin Yang Bone Root which makes the internal balance exactly fifty fifty. All that yin is why he looks so androgynous despite being a man too. As an additional result, this makes it hard for him to receive yin/yang poisoning in general due to the fact his body will vent any excess to retain equilibrium though this also means his martial arts can't fully utilize any true yang or true yin methods without its effects being greatly lowered. He also tends to cook using Purple Flame which drives alchemists and blacksmiths crazy with grief and envy.

Do let me know what your opinion is on the submission. I have always been interested in learning more about the wuxia and xianxia styles of fantasy.

Whenever you feel comfortable enough to begin, @PKMNB0Y. I have no intent on disappearing. No reason to, but I suggest you keep bumping an interest check to see if we can find more members if you are not already.
