7 Dragons

Gaia:
Long ago, in a far away land, on the world of gaia, exsisted many types of beings, but mainly, the animals, the humans, and the dragons. Now, animals were not very special, yet appreciated, and treated as the worlds guides. Humans are the ones said to be connected with the outer world, and yet, have a very small connection with the flow of chi which is within their body. Chi is the one thing that allows them to do super phenominal feets, though to accomplish any connection with this chi, they must go under a path of pure and strict disciplen, and such a task has not been done more then once. Chi is also refered to as chakra. Then, of course, the dragons, are said to be mystical beings, that are from what is known as the outer plain, or the plain of the dead, and have a connection with the physical world, there for, allowing them to exsist within this world of the living, the world of humans. Now, humans are special beings, since they have a certain social order. The upper class of society would be the royals and preists, which have total power and respect. Priests do much preaching and also help in making plans for wars and battles. Royals are kings, queen, princesses, princes, and all royalty is taught in the ways of martial arts, whether they be male or female. Next comes the middle class, which is made up of merchants, and all other normal folk. Half of this population is made up of warriors, and all warriors know the skills and knowledge of martial arts, though there is not one same martial art. And finally, the lower class, made up of the streets rats, and the slaves. These days, slaves are even taught the skills of martial arts, but special measures have been taken so that way if they are to rebel against their masters, then they will have no chance of freedom, since the punishment for such a crime is death on sight. And so, this is the world which our story will take place, and which destiny's shall come together, and intertwine with eachother, for a great threat approaches this world, and threatens the plain of the living itself.


Myth:
Long, long ago, around 200 years ago, there was a man, named Katakura Morisane, who lived in the town of mashzing. He was a monk. At the age of 7, his parents died, and it was then that the monks had adopted him, to teach him in there laws, and disciplin him to be a monk. By the age of 10, he had finally learned almost every story, and had a fascination with chakra. He learned of the 7 different gates of chakra, which varied from going from bottem to up from the feet, to the pelvis, to the stomach, to the chest, to the neck, to the forhead, and to the crown of the head. Katakura, in his anger, determined that he would go under the nescasary disciplen in order to learn how to control these chakra's, and he did just that. For the next 20 years of his life, he travled the world, seeing different sites, and even meeting dragons along his path, which helped him and directed him in forms of training, which would increase his spirituality. As he travled, he became calmer, more patient with life, though as his patience grew greater, his happiness grew less. It was low, but a small part of him began to hate man kind, though he tried his best to ignore this hatred, since he originally wished to gain this power to protect them. It was at last, when he finally came to rest at a cave one day, now a 30 year old man. He sat down, in the darkest section of the cave, and lighted some sage, in order to clense the air. As he meditated, the air became thin, and uneasy. And before him, as if straight from the shadows, a large dragon, purple scaled, long, red whiskers, glowing eyes, and a body which appeared to go on endlessly, dissapearing in the shadows from which he came. The dragon said to him "Are you the monk called Katakura?", and the monk replied "Why yes, I am. Please, if I may ask, what brings you here dragon?" The dragon replied "You are the one who I have chosen. You, a mere human, have been the first to have the will power, and the spirit to undergo such great disciplen, and under the law of my kind, you have the right to gain access of powers which you deserve. Your spiritual chakra is as great as a dragons, and because of this, I shall now grant you what you desire. Now tell me Katakura. What is it that you truelly wish for. Search deep in yourself monk, and tell me what you truelly desire" the dragon ordered. Katakura waited, and he knew that he should instantly go for the chance and gain the power to protect people. But, the dragons very presence there, almost as if poisening the air, began to polute his thoughts, bringing up his thoughts of hatred. The dragon breathed on him, with its odd, lizard like grin, for it knew what it was doing, and it knew what the answer to his question would be. "I have decided dragon. I wish for the power to destroy this world of humans. I desire the power, to turn this into a second plain of the dead. Grant me this power dragon!" the monk ordered. "Your wish is my command" the dragon said, and suddenly, as its body turned pure black, it flew forward, and as if Katakura's very forhead was some sort of an absorber, the dragons very body entered into Katakura, through his forhead, large waves of darkness and spiritual chakra, entering into his body...
On that very night, he arrived back at his old village, and it was their, where is reign of power began...

Kona (coa-na):

200 years later...

"Mommy, why is daddy leaving?" Koana asked. "Shhhh, shhhh. We have to be quiet, or else the soldiers might catch us. Just shush for now" Koana's mother said to him. "STAY AWAY FROM MY HOME!!!!" Koana's father yelled, as fighting could be heard. Koana's father let out a yelp, as he was beheaded. "Come on, I think I heard some folk in here" one of the soldiers said. Feet could be heard running up the steps. "Listen, Koana, I need you to do me a favor, and take this. This has been passed down in our family for the last 2 generations. Take this stone, and never get rid of it, no matter what. NOW HIDE!" Koana's mother yelled, as she gaved Koana the stone, and Koana quickly ran and hid under his bed. Right then, the door was kicked open, as 2 soldiers came inside, and quickly grabbed his mother by the arms. He wanted to do something, but could not, and stayed silent. A man, with white, long hair, in a generals outfit walked in. "Ahhhh, it appears that this town does have some form of a beautiful woman after all" the general said. "Kiss ass" koana's mother yelled as she spit in his face. The general whiped the spit off of his face with his white glove. "Now now, must you resort to such disgusting behavior. Of course, if you truelly do wish to resort in such disgusting acts....." the general started to say. "Men, take her with the other women. She will serve as fine entertainment for the men" the general ordered. "Right away sir" the men said, as they began to pull away Koana's mother, as she kicked and screamed. "MAMA!!" Koana yelled, as he got out of the bed and tried to catch up to her, but then the general grabbed him, bringing his arm around his neck, and holding him into the air. "Now now boy, no need to rush. I've been looking for a good training dummy to practice my martial arts on. How about you" the general said, as Koana struggled. Koana then thought fast, and bit down on the generals arm, as the general yelled in pain, and dropped Koana, and koana quickly made a run for it. He ran out of the house, searching to see if he could find his mother. The houses in his village were burning, and screams could be heard as men, women, and children alike were killed, while others were dragged out of the house, males and females being seperated by the armies. Koana ran as fast as he could, heading into the woods, just trying to run as far as he could, and never stop running, never looking back, until he finally stopped,and looked at the stone. He clutched it in his hand, as tears began to slowly roll down his eyes, but then his eyes widend, and he began to scream, as the stone began to infuse itself into his hand, and then, it literally began to crawl up through his skin, and he soon fell, falling unconcious, near a dirt road. And for that night, the one nightmare was over, though soon, a new nightmare would begin.
In the morning, a rich man in a carriage was strolling by, when he looked out his window, and saw the boy unconcious on the ground."STOP THE CARRIAGE" the man ordered, as he stepped out of his carriage as soon as it stopped, and walked down towards koana. "wake up boy" the man ordered, as he kicked koana, and koana waked up suddenly, in a panic. The man grabbed him by the shoulders and said "Boy, where are your parents!", and koana calmed down, and stayed silent for a moment. "I......I don't know" he said, as he was slowly starting to cry, but then was slapped across the face. "Shut up boy. If your parents are not here, then you have simply been abandond. I have had use for a slave as well. Now come boy. Come" the man ordered. "You are now my property. GOT IT!" the man yelled, as he grabbed koana by the arm, and began to drag him to his cart, as he kicked and screamed. He then threw Koana in the cart, and said to the driver "TELL NO ONE IF THIS. GOT IT!", and the driver shook his head, as the man got into the carriage, closed the door, and they continued on, to where Koana's new home would be for the next 10 years.....

Summary:
For all of you who don't get it, here is a breif explanation for it. This guy, katakura, who was a monk, and when his parents died, he had a part of him that wanted to protect humans from evil, but also, a side of him that wanted to kill all humans believing that they were evil. So he went on a pilgramage, and what do ya know, a dragon finally excepts him as being able to hold the power of a dragon, so it entered into him. So now, it is 200 years later, and, in fact, he is alive. He is the leader of a giant army, and he has his very own kingdom, and his goal is to take over the world. His true intensions are unknown at the moment, but he has been causing havoc throughout the world. And also, though no information will be given out on this, it appears that there are some sort of stones with special meaning to them. All will be explained in due time, but until then, let's get going in the rp. We will be begining in the dynasty of Tamesuke

history: Her mother was died when she was 13. She sent her to his devious uncle who wanted to kill her for her money. She managed to get awa, but know she is very confidental about what happened in the past.

 

ooc: accepted. Alrite then, we will be starting off in the morning, in the dynasty of tamesuke (tam-e-sook-A). varnor, you can start off the first post (he has the general and the dude above him, incase y'all are wonderin)

ooc: change in plans. I'll start the rp.

bic: The sun slowly began to rise over the peak of the mountains, as its warm rays casted down upon Koana, as he slowly began to open his eyes, and stretch out. "Ahhhhh, a nice, peaceful day" he said, getting off from the pile of hay that he was sleeping on. "I think that today might be a pretty good day" he said in a delightful tone, only to get wacked on the back by the cane of what appeared to be a middle aged man. "Quit your yapping and get to work slave" his master ordered him. "Oh, um, sorry, right away sir" he said, as he began to jog out of the rotting, run down, termite infested barn, a.k.a, the slave's bedroom. He was heading straight for town, to fetch the tickets that his master had requested. The tickets for the circus.

ooc: alrite, so here is the deal. Just so our charecters get to know eachother, I'll start off the rp with a warm sense, and the big major event going on in town right now is that the circus has come to town. So I can assume that you all get that the circus is where everyone is gonna want to be when night falls upon the dynasty. it'll be then when we really get things rolling

 

Inside the town a man was riding towards the city hospital, people around was looking out the windows "Mom look its the helping guy"A kid said as he stormed towards his mother. "So he's arrived, Ryuu Katsuo "the fallen man"The mother thought.

 

Blade walked into town "a circus?" Blade said as he looked at a flyer "guess i don't have anything better to do" Blade said

 

Koana was running, not even considering his surroundings, as he noticed the hospital up ahead, but then brought his attention back to getting his masters tickets. He then ran out from out of no where into the dirt road, and at this pace, he would most likely get run over by Ryuu's horse

 

"Is that the best you have?" Stephen asked the man he was sparring. "My grandmother could do better."

"That's enough Stephen. You practiced enough today. As a reward for your training, you can go to the circus. I already have the tickets."

"Oh joy, the circus."

 

Ryuu, stopped the horse just before he hit Koana "Hey, are you okey there boy?"Ryuu asked worried

 

"No time" Koana said, getting back up quickly, appearing as if had a minor scratch and a barely noticible bruise on him, as he kept running onward, towards the ticket booths.

ooc: I also hope that you don't mind, but I am going to try to put off the circus a little until tommorow, unless a certain friend of mine gets her bio in today. Of course, if there are any objections to this, then speak now, or for ever hold your peace

 

OOC: i don't mind

BIC: Blade headed to the ticket booth

 

"Wonder what he was so hasty about?"Ryuu said to himself, he then continued towards the hospital.

 

"I am going ot train some more." Stephen said. He went to his room. In it, there was a wooden dummy and trophies all over.

 

Koana quickly ran up to the ticket booth, and said "Excuse me sir, but if you mind, may I have 3..." he started to say, but the ticket seller said "Shut it slave. if you need tickets, then wait in line like the bunch of worthless slaves" he said, pointing to an extremely long line of slaves. "Ya, but...." koana tried to say, but the ticket master snapped his fingers, and sent him to the back of the long line of miserable slaves

 

Stephen sits on his bed. "This town is boring."

 

"Dammit, I don't have time for this" Koana said as he began to charge through the crowd, and as someone was handing a ticket to the slave in line, Koana snatched the ticket, as fast as he could, in fear of getting a beating for waiting on line for to long, and he started to run away as fast as he could. "STOP, THEIF!!!" the tickets salesmen yelled, loud enough to be heard by where Stephan's room where
