Storyline:
The story is set in the regions of Terene on the outskirts of Asheville. Students who arrive are those seeking the understanding of combat. The school offer many teachings of different styles of martial arts, including Kenjutsu, a form of sword fighting. There is a dark omen that plagues the academy. Over a century ago, the academy was once ruled by an ancient samurai, Akihiko Hisashi. No one was aware of his tyranny; training young participating students the dark arts of the Kurai (Japanese for “darkness”) Akihiko were looking for these young acolytes to serve him so he could invade Genesaris…fortunately, he failed. There was one male who attented the academy, Junichi Saburo, who attempted to shed light upon those who were cursed under Akihiko’s rule. Junichi used the form of Hikari (Japanese for “Light”) in order to transform the students back to normal. Junichi was only able to accomplish half of what he set out to do. Afterwards, it became a matter of good vs. evil. Akihiko and his acolytes were defeated, but he did not go down without taking Junichi with him. Followers of the Hikari used a monument outside of the academy to open a portal, where they banished Akihiko and his followers. Unfortunately, the forbidden portal can not close without the direct opposite of what was thrown into it. Since Akihiiko was of the darkness, Junichi had to sacrifice himself as a follower of the light and enter the portal as well. Today, the monument still stands, but can only be opened if one knows the ancient forbidden spell. Without their influence, the academy fell apart, only to be rediscovered by old martial arts master, Tadao Kiyoshi, a warm hearted and respected man. He has heard of the legends but decided to not dwell on them and re-built the academy from the ground up. In this new generation, headmaster Sin'chi Hajime now rules the academy. He is not like Tadao who passed away years ago. Daisuke allowed the use the Hikari and the Kurai but under a tight controlled and healthy use, unlike Akihiko centuries before him. Students who join are given a choice to follow the path of the Hikari or the Kurai.

As the Shaolin School once again prospered, it dares to face an ancient enemy. The story of Akihiko and his dark acolytes of the Kurai became a myth. No one was aware of their presence or if they even existed…until one fateful night…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information:
This role-play will consist of two paths to take…the Hikari (Light) or the Kurai (Dark) Each path has their own set of martial art styles to choose from, or you can create a custom style. Depending on which path you choose, your choice whether to have magic or not will be affected. With the path of the Hikari, your magic will lean toward healing, buffering the strength of other users, using light to blind your opponents. The Kurai will do the exact opposite, as it will lean toward poisoning, hindering the strength of other users, and using darkness to cloud your mind. Each path has both melee martial arts and magic arts. Use these different styles and combine to create a fighting technique that suits you. No matter what path you choose, characters will participate in the same classes together. There is no segregation. Our characters will participate in the same classes, to keep the communication and relationships between our characters close.

Classes:
- Homeroom: A simple gathering of students, gathering information about the academy.
- First Class (Study of Strength): Learning the ways of strength, anatomy, and physical growth.
- Second Class (Study of Wisdom): Learning the ways of intelligence, neurology, how to meditate.
- Third Class (Study of Charisma): Learning the ways of leadership, business, how to communicate.
- Fourth Class (Study of Combat): Leader the ways of melee, magic, and how to maneuver.

(Classes will not happen on the same day. Homeroom will begin first day of school. First class will happen the next day, second class on the day afterwards etc, unless told otherwise.)

Dorm Rooms:
There will be three buildings for male, female, and co-ed. Each building has three floors and each floor has ten rooms. Rooms on the first floors of all buildings will have a number and a letter (1-A, 2-A etc.) The second floors will have “B” and the third floors will have “C”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Default Melee Styles:
-Togakure Ninpo Taijutsu: A style that focuses on quick reflexes. The user is trained to wait for their opponent to attack and quickly strike while being stationary.

-Jukendo: A style that uses bayonettes as means of spear fighting.

-Shoot Boxing: A style that uses kicks, punches, elbows, throws, and standing submissions (chokeholds, armlocks and wristlocks.)

Magic Styles:
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Light-Based_Abilities

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Default Melee Styles:
-Bajiquan: A style that uses explosive, short-range power, famous for its elbow strikes.

-Ng Ga Kuen: A style that uses five different types of boxing (Tiger, Dragon, Leopard, the Snake and the Crane.)

- Shua Jiao: A form of sumo wrestling. The user is trained to grab, throw, and easy find his or her way out of a submission hold or grab.

Magic Styles:
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Darkness-Based_Abilities

(No matter what path you choose, you do not have to choose the default melee styles. You can choose whichever fighting style you wish or even create a custom style to your liking. You can have two martial art styles and three magic abilities per character.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Few more notes:
- Your character can be any race. The school does not just accept human characters. This gives the role-play diversity.

- I will need a ace in the whole, someone (or group) who is able to stir up a bit of "evil" in the school to move the story to the point of the ancient war that Akihiko's soul wishes to befall upon the academy. Be that of a double-agent, current student, instructor, or an outside source.

“We have an interesting cast of heroes who has their own reasons for joining the martial arts academy. This was the first day for Sin’chi Hajime, the new headmaster of the school and he was able to meet some of the gifted and…scary students that he will be instructing for the whole year. Everyone in class demonstrated how their energy control; some succeeded and some failed. Afterwards, everyone met their roommates who turn out to be their fellow classmates! Little did they know, the Nisshoku (eclipse) was rapidly approaching that marks the cycle of evil. The last time the Nisshoku appeared was when the ancient lord of the Kurai, Akihiko Hisashi, oppressed everyone in the region with his evil reign of terror…that was generations ago. There was an unexpected guest that has arrived as well. During the time of Akihiko’s reign, Lady Kazumi ruled the lands along with the love of her life and now…after hiding for generations, using forbidden spells to keep her youth and her life intact, she has returned and infiltrated Mikado Daigaku. Sin’chi received word of this but could not find her instead he found Okihika Hanzo, who is one of his students and Akihiko’s protégé but nothing out of the ordinary. Sin’chi is now on high alert and must protect his younger students. Tune in for the next episode of Mikado Daigaku!”

Name: Okihika Hanzõ
Age: 18
Height: 5”10
Weight: 220 lbs
Path: Kurai

Weapon N/A

Appearance: Hanzõ is skinny, too skinny for a man of his size, he almost looks sickly, his pale skin along with dark rings around his eyes enforce that image even more. His deep blue eyes stare through is glasses and seem to pierce deep into the very soul of the one he meets with them and his lips seem to be permanently stuck into a small, fulfilled smile wherever he goes. He has short, brown hair that's always kept on ponytail and neatly out of the way.

His normal clothing outside the dojo usually include pair of black jeans and long leather jacket he usually keeps wide open, unless he's having one of his red tanktops on he goes without a shirt at all, making it easy to count his ribs, yet oddly enough he still has very well formed abs, even further giving an image of a sickly person out of him. Shoewise he doesn't usually have any on him, and seems to be oblivious to pain that targets his feet in any way.

While in school he wears dark gray Karate Gi with a chain around his waist instead of traditional belt.

Personality: He seems to be very open and generally friendly with everyone, he has his own ideologies that may seem weird to others, but when brushed aside what is left is friendly, dark humoured and even sadistic individual. Even if he acts and speaks quite openly, his traits make it..difficult to read him and to even understand him.

Biography: Hanzõ comes from a family filled with politicians and pacifists. A family he dislikes even to the point of hate. He was the one always getting in troubles until he reached his 17th birthday, then he just suddenly calmed down and isolated himself for a year from everyone, he did not see his family nor friends during that time at all, he just spent his time in his room, studying, learning and examining. When he came out, he set for his new school, looking just the way he does now. Upon his departure, his father threatened to disown him if he'd join Martial Arts school. Hanzõ laughed with all his heart and stared him dead in the eyes.”I already did that to you.” He replied and left everything behind.

Martial Art Style (Name and descriptions for each.)
1.) Kushin Bajiquan No Ken. Translates roughly into Fist of Pain Bajiquan. The style focuses solely to one, simple, single thing. Inflicting as much pain as possible to the opponent. Dislocating, breaking, twisting limbs and then finishing up with brutal elbow strikes to calculated locations. Only to hurt them until they cannot continue the fight anymore.

Magic Style (Name and descriptions for each.)
1.) Darkness Adaption. His senses and speed increase when he's in the dark. Or, thinks that he's in the dark. Even in the darkest of darknesses it is as if he could see perfectly. Being in dark doubles his speed and allows him to hear as much as leaves falling down, or hearts beating.

@PyroFox depends. If there are less characters on a certain path than I'm comfortable with, I'll switch my character's path to either Hikari or Kurai accordingly.

However, until Everyone else submits their characters, I'll have mine travel the path of Hikari.

@Deadnaut I was talking about FinDragon's character. Hanzo has the type of personality and fighting style that I was planning to give to my own character. Oh well. XD

@LostSamuraiAh! Sorry! Accidentally posted my CS in the Characters section, didnt know if that's for approved characters or not. :( But if I'm accepted, please let me know!

@OtomostheCrazy But yeah, I'm also on the same boat as you. Still deciding on which path, and will choose accordingly! Don't want there to be more on one side than the other!

Looks well done. I accept.

Edit:
Our cast is looking pretty good so far. Many diverse characters with their personalities. This is getting quite interesting I must say. I wasn't expecting for this to turn out this way.

(Well, here he is! It's the best I can do over a short amount of time, with Multi-tasking, and on an empty stomach, so I think there are things I'll have to adjust, but he's here for you to review!)

Name: Hikaru Yoshino
(or "Yoshino Hikaru", if you want to put Last names first)

Age: 16

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 145 lbs.

Path: Hikari

Weapon: A whip that is wrapped around his arm.

Appearance:


(NOTE: Does not necessarily have the present day stuff. It's just the look of the guy that I'm concerned with)

Personality: When it comes down to it, Hikaru is just a normal teenager at heart. He freaks out when something big happens, he gets jealous of others, and he doesn't think before he speaks his mind. He's clumsy, laid back, and does not have the same amount of passion and determination as most other students in the dojo (which is why he doesn't take losing in sparring matches personally). He can be cowardly when panicking, and a jerk when frustrated.
Still, when he needs to face something seriously, he'll do just that. When he needs to fight, he'll do his best. The difference between how he normally fights and when he's trying to win would honestly astonish people who know him.
He may not know what exactly to say to anyone that's feeling down, but he'll always be willing to listen if it'll help them get over something.

Biography: How does one describe the life of a normal guy? A guy who hasn't gone through anything special to bring him to where he was now. He didn't have any special training, he suffered no tragedy, nor was he given any unique qualities or characteristics. He was just a kid growing the way most kids did.

How did he come to attend the Shaolin School? It was honestly on a whim. He wanted to look cool by learning how to fight like the warriors in myths and stories. He wanted to learn how to do all the awesome moves and techniques that martial artists do. So, he ended up joining a famous shaolin school.

Of course whatever motivation and excitement he had before, died off when he saw people obviously more skilled than himself. He watched as they took their lessons seriously, and with the intent of actually using it for something more than whatever Hikaru himself was going for.

In the end, he ended up staying in the school, but seemingly treating everything like it was a hobby. It kinda makes one wonder if he's ready for the coming events...

Martial Art Style (Name and descriptions for each.):
1. Free-Style: Quite possibly the worst fighting style anyone will see in this RP. As the name implies, it has no concrete style, and is completely dependent on the user's Iintentions. That means that it involves plenty of sloppy, and unnecesssary movements, and unpredictable control over the power behind the hits. On the positive side, however, if the user has practiced enough, they can incorporate moves that they've seen in action before. In Hikaru's case, he also incorporates the whip on his arm as a weapon.

2. Flowing Togakure Ninpo Taijutsu: A modified version of the original fighting style. The modifications sacrifice a majority of the power behind the attacks in favor of nimble movement and evasiveness.

Magic Style (Name and descriptions for each.):
1. Trap-Happy: Through Light Manipulation, Hikaru is able to create orbs of Light energy to float idly. These orbs are activated on his command to become a variety of objects meant to bind or injure enemies.

2. Twilight Teleportation: [INSERT NAME HERE] has access to one spell that utilizes Twilight magic. This spell allows him to teleport from one place to another place within 15 miles of his original position. There are several drawbacks to using this magic:
