Introduction

Story

The mid-14th century of China involved the Five Kingdoms (now Four). They were pitted against each other in one large war, battles to battles, to battles, just to unite the country as one. Many have tried, yet they've succeeded, failed, and even worse, died from it. However, another invasion will make matters worse.

Out emerged another group of the most unfamiliar appearance; the Chi. They stood at the highest mountains of China, all in one group. How they appeared? People don't know. The Emperor stood with a wicked smile on his face, standing the tallest of the his empire.

“Slaughter them all, taste their blood, and bring the Emperor's heads to me.”

The army runs wild all over China.

They have the same focus at ruling the other kingdoms and uniting the country. Their army even surpasses each kingdom, so the others have no choice, but to put things aside between each other, and fight this large onyx-suited army.

Re: Chi and the Four Kingdoms (A Wu Xia RP) (OOC)

Okay, the IC has been created.

http://www.roleplaygateway.com/chi-and-the-four-kingdoms-t51631.html#p1255436

Oh, and we also need that 1 more kingdom, that was to be created by someone.

BTW don't forget to subscribe on the IC as well, and if you haven't subscribed the OOC, do so as well.


Re: Chi and the Four Kingdoms (A Wu Xia RP) (OOC)

Okay guys, I'm going to add the IC momentarily. Even though we don't have two of our Emperors yet, nor do we have empresses, I'm just going to let you all post, but don't really include the emperors and empresses in yet until their NPC profiles are created. You can reference them though.

Great, I guess I'll create one or two generals and advisers for the Ning.
It seems we could still need a few more people...
Yeah, I do notice that, but lets keep hope alive. lol

Re: [OOC] Idea of Chi and the Four Kingdoms (OOC)

As far as magic goes, I wasn't really intending on the kind of magic that Forbidden Kingdom has. Hero definitely. Here are other examples.

Hero (Maggie Cheung vs. Zhang Ziyi)

Hero (Jet Li vs. Tony Leung)

Re: [OOC] Idea of Chi and the Four Kingdoms (OOC)

As a great fan of Wu Xia movies I would like to add a few links to this collection, though they might not all be fitting into the time we play.
I would also use this post to write down some more details about the Ning Empire, if you would allow me. I would expand it as the time goes on. Another question I want to ask, what about "magic". By magic I didn't mean casting fireballs etc., but rather those of sages seen in old, or even some new, Chinese movies. The first link, or other scenes of that movie, are a nice example. What I mean are the talents contributed to Zhuge Liang in the Dynasty Warriors/ROTK series, or those of Woman in Kung Fu Hustle.

The Forbidden Kingdom (Jet LI vs. Collin Chou)
- A great duel in my opinion, the magic adds some nice flair to it

Kung Fu Hustle (Stephen Chow vs. Axe Gangsters and later Siu-Lung Leung)
- A rather comical advance to that genre, though still great. Foot stomp and croak style.

Hero (Jet Li vs. Donnie Yen)
- Another great fight between those two

About the Ning:

China was separated in 5 kingdoms. Now it is four, since Zi Kingdom was destroyed by Huang Kingdom, and I mean destroyed as the Emperor, Empress and others were killed by them. There is some information on that kingdom though on the places page.

Yes, but it does not say which of the positions are taken. That is why I am confused.
The introduction says so on the tabs site of this. The only ones "taken" are the Emperor of Ning, the Crown Prince of Ning, and The Dancer. Some roles there can be more than 1 of, like the Princes, and princesses.

[OOC] Idea of Chi and the Four Kingdoms (OOC)

I think the focus is more on the characters. Even though they have Chinese names, the highlight should be the nicknames they get. For example, the Wu Tang Clan had members like "Method Man", "RZA", "Ol' Dirty Bastard", "Ghostface Killah", etc.

Do they fight? Well, they all do in different fighting/weapon styles (They have to be Chinese by the way). Roleplayers can even create their own style, and they can also have diverse ones (fighting in a wheelbarrow, fighting with a pipa, fighting with a cane, etc.)

Here are my examples of films/fight scenes just to give roleplayers a feel of it.

Dirty Ho (Gordon Liu and Kara Hui vs. Wong Yu)

Martial Club (Gordon Liu vs. Wang Lung Wei)

8 Diagram Pole Fighter (Kara Hui Spotlight)

Long Road To Gallantry (Kara Hui vs Rosamund Kwan)

Long Road To Gallantry (Rosamund Kwan vs. Fighters)

13 Cold Blooded Eagles

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (Michelle Yeoh vs. Zhang Ziyi

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (Cheng Pei-Pei vs. Three others and later Chow Yun Fat)

Iron Monkey (Jean Wang and Angie Tsang (the boy) vs. Shaolin Monks and Lee Fai (the hooded woman)

Once Upon a Time in China (Jet Li vs. Donnie Yen)[/quote]
