The idea is this. In the world, there are a multitude of 'Schools'. In these 'Schools', people join to practice, and aim to heighten, their martial arts and other various physical skills. Each person has an "affinity". It can be something related to natural elements such as fire, ice, lightning, or it can be something like darkness, an affinity towards swords, or an affinity towards different animals. These affinities will have an influence on the path of martial art the person takes. That is just the first layer of the premise. The next layer is that every so often, the Schools will gather and compete in a tournament to ultimate boast their strength and skill. Of course the winner will have a prize given to them, but glory is what is sought after. The masters of each school do not partake in these tournaments of skills, as they leave it up to their disciples to demonstrate their skills. This roleplay draws elements from a multitude of mangas, such as Bleach, Naruto, the Dragon Ball series, God of Martial Arts and Gintama. As such, themes like technology will be quite limited. We, the moderating group will aim to keep the entire roleplay lighthearted and push for consistent progress. If there are any ideas, please feel free to raise them for discussion. Most of all, have fun and be creative ^__^
