Welcome to the Flux!

We're a single-thread RPG/Creative Writing/Arts/hang out and chat forum! We welcome anything you've got to show us, from arts, crafts, graphics, sprites, to fanfic, original stories, novels, short stories, to RPGs, or if you just want to hang out and chat with us, you're more then welcome. We offer a variety of boards across the forum, so you're sure to find a place to fit in somewhere.

Martial Arts?

First off, I want to convey that in the past I've played Game Master for a variety of other forums, and admin'd a wide assortment of many other sites in the past, and that my experience in the field is quite big. I'm pretty proficient when it comes to constructing and building roleplay's as such.

With that said, I was wondering about where people's interest lay in a roleplay based loosely on martial arts? I'm thinking either it's built in with focus on a large academy, or built in a large society where it plays a huge focus alongside the world of normality.

That said, my inspiration for wanting to make this roleplay comes from the Breaker, and Veritas .

Even though I'm interested in it, I'm not really looking to build it unless people have a fond or atleast faint interest in it themselves.

So who's curious? Feedback would be great.

Hm, could be potentially fun.

Now, are we talking like actual martial arts, or anime, DBZ-like martial arts? Will their be Ki-blasts, super punches, super speed, and all that fun stuff? XD

We're talking actual martial-arts with some above-human average elements, but nothing on the level of Dragon Ball Z with ki-blasts or anything of that nature. We're talking pushing the limits of a human and slightly surpassing them to create feats such as breaking through a wall with a punch or movements that would require agility that we as people don't have.

Then, on the other side of it, if people wanted, it could very well involve more supernatural elements. Using ki to produce effects such as controlling fire, wind, or other elements for certain people, or using them to make attacks stronger, etc, depending on how people wanted to play it.

With the second idea chi and specializations would be a heavy focus, alongside your melee oriented martial arts (which could very well be your specialization's focus), you have your more supernaturally focused martial art, which could be lightning, fire, making your body nigh-diamond hard, or a wide assortment of other ideas, just depeneds.

With the first idea though it's more focused on martial arts. There's still some supernatural elements in the sense of what a human can do being done, but nothing to otherworldly.

hmm, you got my attention, might as well add a little input.

Have you ever heard of a little manga/anime called Tenjho Tenge? If not here's a favorite clip of mine, should give you the gist of it. link

The entire premise is of a school that's trying to preserve the martial arts, mainly by allowing it's students to beat the fuck out of each other with no restraints. There's some overarching plot BS aswell about some feudal era stuff that no one really cares about because the fights are too awesome and distracting. Overall though it's a good premise to base it in, and I'd totally be up for something like this myself.

Yea we're looking at martial arts on a level that's seen in that clip, that's a good example, and I have indeed seen Tenjho Tenge.

Granted the plot will probably be better considering the fact that we're writers, but at the same time in the end we're looking to have fun.

I'll start working on the system and mechanics of it, as well as the interesting story that I have in mind. In the meantime, if you all are interested, stay tuned for what I have to offer, and you shall receive.

Okay, well I'm in. Can't wait for this, then :D.

Also, you'll notice more applicants after it's past idea stage, and actually set up into sign up page XD. So don't worry too much about people-count for now. :p

Would this focus entirely on Eastern martial arts? Or would you allow players to work with more exotic disciplines? E.g. Krav Maga, Systema... even something like boxing?

Oh yeah, one other question I thought up as well. Well... three. XD

Will we be seeing martial arts styles able to mix in weaponry as well? And a wide array of different stuff to mix things up? Or will it be one trainer, and several students who learn a similar method of training?

1. All forms of martial arts including Eastern and Western will be permitted. Exotic styles of martial arts will also be permitted, pending they're posted and their nature is understood. Some martial arts simply aren't practical, but the ones you named so far make sense.

2. Martial Arts + weapons will ALSO be allowed. And the school is going to be very unusual in the way that it conducts itself, believe me, it won't be a teacher trains abuncha students and all that bullshit. That'd make things very drab.

Well now. It's good to see back into the RP circle Hero. I'm excited. I still hold you as one of the best I've played with.

And not only do you return. But you come bearing this wonderful idea.

Hell yes. Times infinity.

Martial arts is my livelihood. It puts food on my table and clothes on my back. An RP centered around the esoteric nature of various styles sounds really legit. Count me in.

I have read Veritas, but not breaker. So I think I'll enjoy myself with that soon. Aside from that. A question. Veritas was heavily on traditional styles, their masters and meaning. Will we have masters that are super awesome and revered or will our styles come from in shool?
