Introduction
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.

Rules
2. Blood is encouraged. Gore is not. You can make it tasteful though.

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.

Oh, and I made an NPC, by the way.
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...

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

How would they play, having been conquered by the Huang? What status would the royal family from that kingdom have?
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.

Re: Chi and the Four Kingdoms (A Wu Xia RP) (OOC)
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.EikouNekoChan wrote:The positions are included on the Tabs of the title, which is on the first post.
Yes, but it does not say which of the positions are taken. That is why I am confused.

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]
