Brief Synopsis




Long ago, in ages so far gone that even the gods and spirits have forgotten about, there were multiple worlds floating about in a nexus of sorts. One day, the boundaries separating nine different worlds broke, spiriting away various chunks and mashing them together into a tenth entirely new plane of existence known as The Nine Heavens Frontier. Naturally, the inhabitants of the nine worlds weren't very pleased with the sundering and thus fought against each other in a bid to rule this bountiful new garden, hoping to take the resources and wealth of their neighbors and forge a united empire. The plains and rivers grew red from spilled blood even as the skies filled with the shadows of crows and ravens. A million swords plunged into a million soldiers as the war lasted for a hundred and eight years, no one faction being able to successfully conquer the remaining eight.

It was at the end of the 108th year that a group of travelers rose up from the masses to sweep across the countries to pacify the bloodthirsty and unjust with peerless martial might. A single group of nine people, each representing one of the nine major super powers of the world. Heaven and earth was reversed in their wake, evil was purged, and justice was carried out. This was a land where one had to be strong to be heard, and these nine travelers had enough strength to do as they pleased. Taking on the name of Nine Hidden Dragons to represent their intent as protectors of the land, these illustrious legendary heroes shook the world and restored peace through their unwavering efforts to protect the weak and slay the evil. Peace was brought to close this strife filled era in naught but a year, for the Hidden Nine Dragons were as gods that have descended upon the world of mortals, unstoppable.

It is now ten thousand years later, and the songs of war have once again begun to play. The uneasy peace has been broken, and kingdoms have begun to contest against each other to once more attempt to create an empire. Among the masses are you, the heroes. People who use their great powers and heaven overturning skills to follow the code of chivalry. Your fists can break mountains, your bodies harder than diamonds, and your just souls burning brighter than even the sun. For you are Heroes.







Like the title says, this RP is based off of wuxia (basically a genre of Chinese fiction or film dealing with martial arts, sorcery, and chivalry. Many works are based off of wuxia such as Dragonball, Star Wars, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hokuto No Ken, Avatar the last Airbender, and the various other supernatural martial arts media.) Basically I just wanted an excuse for people to go out on high powered adventures and have amazing kung fu duels with everything and anything in a fantasy world while having fun world-building experience with the players, eheh.




Character Sheet


  • Name:
  • Age:
  • Gender:
  • Race: Can be anything from humans to elves to beast-men to goblins to demons and so on, user created races included (after a screening process for said homebrewed ones).
  • Personality:
  • Brief Backstory:
  • Styles and Techniques: Given it's a wuxia setting, these are where all the supernatural martial arts comes into play. Wanna double jump and glide through the air? Shoot fireballs and beams? Run on water and up walls? Punch people so hard they explode? Well you can. Styles are an overall set of seperate Techniques that allow people to do the impossible by manipulating their inner ki. An example of Style would be Azure Dragon School and a Technique of that would be Sea Dragon King Rises From the Depths, which is an uppercut that creates a sudden whirlpool to sweep away the opposition. Generally, most people only focus on one or two Styles, and make good use of their set of Techniques. People can choose not to write down every single technique they can think of, but I'd like to know what the Style is widely known for: i.e. hitting fast, defending, being flexible, and so on. Oftentimes, Styles and Techniques are learned from either Sects or Clans, schools that teaches students their special martial arts. Alternatively, they can be learned from wise old wandering masters unaffiliated with such.
  • Equipment: Anything from mundane to specialized weapons such as flying swords to mystical potions and so on.

It's a bit silent in here so i fear the worst. Non the less, here's my character :)

•Name: Tae
•Age: 125
•Gender: Male
•Race: Inari. The Inari are a shape shifting hybrid of human and fox. The Inari possesses three forms, a human form, a hybrid form and a fox form. In their human form, the Inari have the physical qualities of a human, in their fox form they have the physical qualities of a fox. Their hybrid form is what the Inari consider their "true" form. In this form they can gain absolute control of their inner Ki and perform feats that are considered superhuman or extraordinary. In human/non Inari communities people often say the Inari are just a race of legend as most Inari prefer to use their human form when interacting with other races. Inari often travel the world to act as spiritial guides and help those in need. Inari roughly can become around 400 years old and reach maturity around 100 years.

•Personality: Tae is a gently yet serious person. He is deeply devoted to the teachings of the Inari Tao and tries to follow them as good as possible. He generaly prefers to resolve conflicts through negotiation and only uses violence as a last resort. The xia of the Inari teaches the following code; Avoid violence when possible, do not cause more harm then necassery but vanquish evil without hesitation when you must.

•Brief Backstory: Tae was born as the second son and youngest child in a small Inari village high within the mountains. In order to receive education and training, his father brought Tae and his older brother Mao to the temple of the nine tails. A famous Inari temple dedicated to the teachings of the Tao and bringing kindness to the 10th world. It was here that Tae learned the Gentle fox Style and the Burning Spirit style martial arts. As the years passed the 10th world slowly got consumed in war. It was this darkness that caused Tae's brother to develop radical idea's. Rather then to pacify the other races, Mao believed that only true peace could come to existance when the other races would be annialated. Slowly Mao managed to convince others at the temple of his idea's. When the master challanged Mao idea's with arguments, he got enraged and used his knowledge of the martial arts to kill the temple master. This presented Tae with a choice, side with his brother to bring a new world order or follow the teachings of his master and bring good to all. Tae chose the latter and got expelled from the temple.

•Styles and Techniques:
* The gentle fox style: The gentle fox style is a form of martial arts that focusses on defeating your oponent without causing much harm. It uses the energy an momemtum of the enemies attack in order to get him off balance and under control with various throws and arm and wristlocks. The gentle fox style also incoorperates Bo-staff techniques. All the techniques are purely defensive.
* Burning fox spirit style: The burning fox spirit style is a form of martial arts that focus heavily on the users Ki. The style uses Ki in order to augment the physical abilities of the practisioner, allowing him to move faster, jump higher and punch harder. In contrast to the gentle fox style, the burning fox spirit style is an aggressive combat system that consists of punches, kicks, knee and elbow techniques. Next to the basic hand to hand combat techniques the style also uses Ki blasts and beams. The full potential of this style can only be unlocked in the true form of the Inari as that form gives them complete control over their Ki. When using this style, Tae is engulfed in a white aura of Ki energy.

- Spirit rush: This technique allows the user to move at extremely high speeds over a short distance.
- Burning Spirit: Tae uses his Ki to temporarily boost his abilities. His aura intensifies as his speed and strenght are boosted greatly.
- Spirit Javalin: Tae places his hands against eachother and gathers Ki energy in between. By moving his hands away from each a rod of white Ki is formed. Tae then grabs the rod and trows it like a javalin that pierces his opponent.
- Spirit blast: Tae gathers Ki at both his hands seperately. Balls of Ki are formed. He then combines both sources of Ki into one giant ball that explodes on Impact.
- Burning Spirit beam: Tae gathers Ki in both his arms, than places them together to shoot a massive beam of Ki at his opponent.

•Equipment: A Bo-staff
