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.
