Your characters have come to Master Wu's school to train in martial arts. You will begin inexperienced, but overtime you will become stronger and more skilled.
When your character acquires enough Knowledge they can upgrade one of three primary attributes:
Mind - Increases Speed and Agility.
Body - Increases Vitality and Strength.
Spirit - Increases Chi and Focus.
Attributes
Vitality: This is your health and how much damage you can take before being defeated.
Focus: This is equivalent to stamina and allows you to use physical techniques.
Chi: This takes the place of magic and allows to use chi techniques.
Strength - How much damage you deal.
Speed - How many times you can attack per turn.
Agility - Chance to dodge an attack.
Styles
A 'Style' is a form of martial arts. Each Style is usually classified as Fast, Balanced, or Strong. Fast Styles use quick attacks but do not deal much damage, and are best used against Strong Styles. Strong Styles rely on raw strength although they are slow, and are best used against Balanced Styles. Balanced Styles focus on balancing strength and speed, and are best used against Fast Styles.
Fists of Fury - Fast Style; +1 Strength, +3 Speed, -1 Chi, -1 Focus
Leaping Tiger - Balanced Style;
Standing Mountain - Strong Style;
Techniques
Techniques are special abilities that use Focus or Chi and can give you an edge in battle. Each Technique will take time to learn, and even more time to master. Physical abilities consume Focus and allow your character to pull off some impressive physical feats. Magical abilities consume Chi and allow your character to tap into powerful magics.

Paralyzing Strike
Sweeping Leg Strike

Chi Techniques
Chi Strike: A powerful strike charged by Chi.
Shadow: Allows a character to completely disappear in the shadows.
Chi Blast: Powerful burst of pure Chi.
Heal: Restores Vitality of target.

Yin Yang is the morality system in the roleplay. Certain characters respond differently to your characters depending on their Yin/Yang values. The value is hidden and only I know it, but

I've always wanted to do something like this, but I ain't to knowledgable in the subject. It takes place in an Eastern Asian-inspired continent like China (or maybe an island, like Japan). The setting, culture, weapons, social structure, creatures, etc are all based on Chinese and Japanese things. Inspiration comes from the Era of the Three Kingdoms in China, and the Sengoku Period in Japan.
Story
Backstory:
Nearly a century ago the Jengai (all names pending, these are placeholders) Dynasty united Tochi under one rule. Emperor Jengai was aided by three powerful heroes: Masuto (Master of the War of the Warrior), Khan (Master of the Way of the Shadow), and The White-Eyed Monk (Master of the Way of the Fist. Unfortunately, Khan betrayed his friends and the Emperor in an attempt to rule the land himself; The White-Eyed Monk was severely injured and forced into hiding, and in an ultimate duel atop the Grand Palace, Masuto defeated his old friend Khan, who plunged into the Great Gardens below. Masuto traveled to Mount Senuo, the site of an ancient fortress, only accessible by climbing the One Thousand Steps. Masuto spent many years renovating the fortress, but destroyed the One Thousand Steps. Masuto would spend the rest of his life training students in the fortress...
Present:
You are one of Masuto's students. The only way to get to the top of Mount Senuo is by climbing the dangerous mountain, but by doing this you have proven yourself to be determined and capable. You will start out as nothing, but you will gradually become stronger over time under the guidance of Masuto and his greatest students.
The Way of the Warrior - Used to train great warriors such as Samurai. They usually wear armor, are trained to use many weapons, and are the greatest fighters in the land.
The Way of the Shadow - Used to train assassins such as Ninja. They wear very light armor, are trained to use stealth, and can move unseen in the shadows.
The Way of the Fist - Used to train Monks; they use no armor and no weapons, but instead rely on powerful magic and their own fists for combat.
Chi - Used to unlock more abilities.
Combat Styles
Fast Offensive - Moves quickly, very aggressive.
Powerful Offensive - Takes time to line up perfect attacks, aggressive.
Defensive - Observes opponents, finds weaknesses, utilizes counters.
Average - Very versatile, but not as good as the other styles.
Note: No, this has nothing to do with anime; no I don't watch anime; no I don't like anime.

Ah, good. I don't think the OP has been for a few days, but I'm sure he;d still be up for this.
It's strange; I stopped drinking soda last year, and now I feel worse than I ever did. My back was hurting really bad last night, but it stopped this morning and now it just feels sore. The CT Scan didn't show anything wrong with me, so I'm not sure what's going on. I use to believe in Karma a little bit, but now I'm second-guessing all that mumbo-jumbo.
Anyway, all of this mess puts me off and I'm not really in the mood to come up with an IC but I've been concocting some events in my head. I think I'm going to move away from the Joric storyline and just focus on the environment and things your characters will see. Joric may or may not reappear at a later time.
Someone in my family is moving soon, and it might be Saturday, so I reckon I'll be busy doing that if I am able to, but I really don't have a choice in the matter, Hopefully expect an IC post within the week.

I had to go to the doctor recently, and I probably won't be on for the next week or so.
Sorry. I might find some free time between here and then, but don't hold me to it.

I might post later today even though 1 person still hasn't posted. It shouldn't be a problem though.
I just want to post so other people can see this thread.
Liana
Age/Race/Gender: 27 year old female human
Appearance: Light African skin color; stands 5'9, weighs 125 lbs; very slim/lithe build. The top-right side of her head is hairless and burned, as is her right ear; the burn continues down the right side of her face, covering her temple and parts of her right cheek, as well as the top portion of her right eye. She has near-shoulder-length black hair, but she keeps some of it brushed over the right side of her head to cover the burns. She has dark brown eyes, although her right eye is milky-white because it was damaged by fire long ago, rendering her blind.
Armor:
Weaponry
Liana's Bow (and Quiver) - A strong and sturdy bow made specifically for Liana. Liana's blindness in her right eye has caused her left eye to become more dominant, and as a result she is extremely accurate and fires with unbelievable precision.
Dual Daggers
Skillset: Liana is very slim and lithe, so she's not particularly strong. Because of her body size and her stunted peripherals, she tends to try and stay away from close combat as much as possible. Her most obvious talent is her unbelievable accuracy with her bow. Because Liana is blind in her right eye, her left eye has become more dominant, allowing her to see clearer and with better perception than others. She is deadly with the bow, even at long-range, and chooses this as her primary weapon. If she ever does get forced into close combat she uses her dual daggers, which she can utilize with amazing speed and agility. Liana tries to move around as much as possible and not stay situated against one opponent for to long or else they would overpower her. She moves like a swift wind through the battlefield, quickly injuring or mortally wounding her opponents before moving on the next.
History: When Liara was young she was attacked by a gang of criminals who tried to have their way with her. Liana tried to fight them off but was to weak. As a consequence for her struggle, the men shoved her head into a firepit and burned the entire right side of her face, damaging her right eye and rendering it blind.

Since this keeps getting a lot of interest I might as well take some time to really delve into it. Give me an hour or so and I'll come up with something better and more organized, unless I get distracted or something else keeps me busy.
I think I'm missing 1 post. Then I'll make the next post.
If you guys want your characters to interact, say like having an extended conversation, you can PM each other and collaborate on a single post where the conversation looks realistic and consistent. I've done it before; we just keep sending stuff back and forth, adding a few lines of dialogue (and character actions) until we're done.
