Through their understanding of ki, the greatest warriors could train the mind, the heart, the body, and the soul to perform the impossible. Strength beyond what the body would allow, speed beyond all speed, and weaponizing your fighting spirit in raw form... all from the mastery of the pure fighting spirit of ki. Many are capable of using ki, but few are able to utilize it to it's fullest potential. These few are known to the world as [/i][color=fff200][b]Nomads[/b][/color][i], fighters that travel the world for their own reasons - whether it be personal betterment, fortune and glory, or saving the world as they deem fit. Of course, this isn't as simple, as they will inevitably cross paths and clash with other Nomads pursuing their own dreams and desires..." "... each and every one of their destinies becoming intertwined with one another, with the nation of Zun acting as the centerpiece. With such a blinding, brilliant light cast by aptly named "Capital of Ki," it only makes sense that it should cast the longest shadow. A part of this shadow is the ambitious General Zaman, a man who desired to take the throne for himself has launched a coup to overthrow the government. Whats more, the Shah and his daughter have vanished without a trace, causing whispers of conspiracy among the populace, as well as rumors abound that they were deposed by the mysterious terrorist organization known only as PENUMBRA. Regardless, a Civil War is on the brink of the horizon, soon to be engulfed by a much longer shadow, one that will leave a lasting eclipse on the world..." "... and in the end, only the strongest and most skilled fighters will be able to overcome these trials..."[/i] [/center] [hr][hr] [img]https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjQwLmZhYjYwMC5UM1psY25acFpYYywuMAAA/vladivostok.bold.png[/img] [indent]Welcome to the [color=fff200][b]Nomadic Fist: Radiant Soul[/b][/color]. This RP takes place in a quirky, anime-and-fighting-games-themed world (think of shows like Hunter x Hunter and One Punch Man, or games similar to Darkstalkers and Street Fighter) where supernatural warriors known as "Nomads" head out and engage in supernatural battles. Fueled by ki, magic, or technology, they journey the world, and, for whatever reason, they seek out fights. This won’t quite be a PVP roleplay, and is more story and character driven, with your characters fighting NPCs and a variety of sinister plots (with player fights for special occasions). The world is very, very free-form; lore is loose (basically amounting to everything just described in that first paragraph), and you’re free to create almost any kind of character or backstory you please. So what do you all say? Are you all itching for a fight for the ages or a bizarre adventure? Well, your story begins here! (Originally constructed by [@Ruler Inc]; thanks for bringing everyone together bub; also, rip original title card).[/indent] [hr][hr] [img]https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjQwLmY1YWQwMC5RMmhoY0hSbGNpQlRaV3hsWTNRLC4wAA,,/vladivostok.bold.png[/img] [indent][hider=Chapter 0: World Warriors]And so, another year passes, with events foretold from far and wide, with heroes and villains of all tales, each Nomads alike. Yet, even with these events, some insignificant to the world, some ominous and foreboding on a much grander scale, this world keeps on turning. It is currently late into 20xx, the end of an era is nigh, but a new one will begin where the prior that once stood... and what better way to finish off the year and kick off the year with the internationally acclaimed and highly anticipated competition - World Warriors, hosted by the WMAF in the nation of Zun!... however, not all of you are here to compete in a prestigious contest, hell, some of you might not even have the money, invitation, or sponsor to get in! What brought you here on this very day I wonder? Regardless, there seems to be something stirring amongst the resident Mythics of this place; tensions seem to still be at a constant high, even with this tournament transpiring. Regardless, the WMAF implores many to take place in the festivities, undeterred by the threat of a Civil War. However, this is merely the starting point of a brand new story that will forever be marked in history.[/hider][/indent] [center][url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4843752][img]https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjEwLmZhYjYwMC5RMkZ1WTJWcy4wAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/vladivostok.bold.png[/img][/url][/center]
