-Introduction: PLEASE READ-
Every five hundred years, a shooting star soars through the sky. In the eyes of non-seers, humans, it could have signified beauty, and nothing more. But in the eyes of the shaman, it could mean nothing more than life itself. The Shaman Fights commence, the journey to be Shaman King starts, every Shaman in the world prepares for the toughest battle of their lives.
The Great Spirits have spoken, "It is you...
[First of all, you must have a name.]
"...and your Guardian Spirit..."
[Of course, you also need a Partner Spirit.]
"...who shall wield your swords to the pillar of light..."
[You need to have a medium/object in which your spirit will take its form]
"...and offer yourselves as the one who shall carry the destiny of the world. You need not be alone, but risk comes with partnership and brotherhood. For you, is the choice of walking the path alone, or having others stand with you."
[Interaction between Roleplayers is strongly encouraged. But of course, nobody can force you to make friends.]
-Your Profile[Profiles can be viewed HERE]-
The Guardians have been sent forth to seek the strength of your will! Once you have succeeded, the Oracle Bell will toll. By then, you and your partner spirit will have successfully registered in the Shaman Tournament.
[Before you can join, you must PM me a ONE-PARAGRAPH sample roleplay. TOPIC: "The Final strike you made on the BATTLE WITH YOUR GUARDIAN". After the paragraph, include your profile with the format below. MAKE IT A SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE.]
[align=left][b]PARTICIPANT[/b]
[b]Name[/b]: The name of your RP Character.
[b]Age[/b]: Your RP Character's Age.
[b]Gender[/b]: For obvious reasons. Stricly Male or Female only.
[b]Appearance[/b]: Optional. You can include an immage or not. Do not include this in your profile if you don't want/ are too lazy to get one.
[b]Character Description[/b]: Describe your RP Character here.
[b]Capabilities[/b]: As a Shaman, you are strong and skilled. Have your skills and talents listed here.
[b]Biography[/b]: What's your RP Character about? Where does he live? Who's his father/mother. Practically anything about your RP Character.
[b]Medium[/b]: The object you hold close that allows your Partner Spirit to merge with it and take form. OR. The medium can be the HUMAN BODY as well. It would depend on you.
[b]Dream[/b]: Explain what you want to do after you have become Shaman King. This will be your drive and your guide.
[b]POWER SPIRIT[/b] ((Sacred Spirits, e.g. Spirit of Fire, cannot be used.))
[b]Name[/b]: The name of your Partner Spirit. ONLY ONE PER PERSON. NOTE: Konchi and Ponchi, Tamara's spirits are considered as one, so if you wish to have a Power Spirit of Twins like them, you only need ONE medium.
[b]Age[/b]: How old your Partner is. NOTE: THE OLDEST SPIRIT IS NEVER THE STRONGEST SPIRIT. In other words, age doesn't matter.
[b]Gender[/b]:
[b]Origin[/b]: Where your Partner Spirit came from. Basically, your Spirit's Biography starting from where you two met.
[b]Appearance of Spirit[/b]: IMAGE or NO IMAGE.
[b]Description of Spirit in a Medium[/b]: Describe your spirit when it is inside your medium.
[b]Techniques[b]: Make a LIST out of all the techniques that you have developed so far, as the story goes.
[/b][/align]
[PLEASE BE REMINDED: It is your responsibility to keep your profiles updated. Therefore, once your RP Character does/claims something which is not written in his profile, IT WILL BE CONSIDERED AS A LIE and will be ignored during the RP. For example, if your character does "Halo Blade" and is holding a "Pillow" as a medium, then that would just be SO WRONG and will in turn be ignored.]
-RULES[READ THOROUGHLY]-
1. Always follow the Gaia TOS
2. Those who know fairly of Shaman King and its storyline are welcome. Those who know nothing about the series/manga/episode/storyline better start catching up if they want to join.
3. To make it understandable, POST AS IF YOU WERE WRITING A STORY.
NOT LIKE THIS
Yoh: Amidamaru, into the Sword of Light! - courageous voice.
Amidamaru: Yes, of course! 3nodding
Amidamaru goes into spirit mode and goes into SOL(Sword of Light) and it glows white and becomes big sword.
Yoh: Attack!!
Amidamaru(Inside Sword): YAAAAH!
Amidamaru and Yoh kill Zeke and wins.
I hope this is okay. I'll be posting tomorrow.
The purpose of this is to enhance creativity.
-Use proper grammar, punctuation marks - OF COURSE, DIRECT QUOTATIONS IN CHARACTER SPEECH.
-Make use of adjectives/adverbs to describe the object of interest.
-In case of an OOC talk, use "((" these for an opening and "))" for closing.
THIS IS BETTER
The battle rages on. It is the final fight, Yoh against him - Zeke. His mind clear of every distraction possible. Harusame, glowing in unmatched power, reacted to every fiber of Amidamaru's spiritual being. Alas, he fused with the first blade, next, the second blade. Yoh's saber, a light one, a pure one, had formed, short but sturdy, piercing into Zeke's flesh rendering him unconcious and unable to continue the fight. Yoh had won.
((I hope this is good. I'll be posting tomorrow.))
4. Keep Character Language to Mild. About PG15.
5. No flaming, insulting, bad language, vulgarity, pornography or whatsoever directed to the ROLEPLAYER. Actions of such will get you banned from this RP(OR WORSE) big time.
6. Use Common Sense. If an attack seems imposible to dodge, block it. If you can't block it, dodge it.
7. No GODMODING.
SECTION A:
In a Shaman Fight, an attack can ONLY ONLY ONLY and STRICTLY, ONLY be DODGED or BLOCKED a maximum of 3(THREE) TIMES. This means:
- If you have dodged 3 times already, you have to take the next hit.
-If you have dodged 3 times already, you cannot block.
-If you have blocked 3 times already, you cannot dodge.
-There is a limited number of usage of dodge/block so use it wisely.
SECTION B:
If you have taken the hit, be sure to have your strength decreased. Make it a little bit REAL. ATTACKS can be announced ONE PER POST, except during special cases which can be resolved by USING COMMON SENSE.
SECTION C:
Overkill and OHKO(One-Hit-Knock-Out) are DEFINITELY NOT ALLOWED. As mentioned earlier, the Sacred Spirits have been locked for this reason.
8. Anything that is not written here is allowed.
