    The curse of Jusenkyo.

    PG-17 for occasional cursing and descriptive violence, and even nudity as long as the details are very obscure, try to be mature whether your characters are or not people.

    The world is a strange place, there's all sorts of different things, from the assorted animals to the different kinds of people good and bad. But one of the most mysterious places in the world is the forest of cursed springs, they say each of the 100 cursed springs has a terribly sad story about someone drowning in it once upon a time, they even go so far as to say that if you fall in a spring, you will become like the one who drowned there, but that's just a crazy rumor right?

    Well, basically each and every one of you for some reason or another related to your past, has ended up going to China, as you traveled you came upon the forest of The Jusenkyo springs, the caretaker warned you not to go in, but through ego or whatever other reason you ignored him and went in anyways, at some point as you explored (for your own reasons) you managed to fall into one of the cursed springs and now whenever cold water touches you you take the form of whoever/whatever drowned in that spring until you are doused with hot water. Now through whatever path of events you are now in the small Japanese town of Furinkan, and you go to Furinkan highschool, which has many different classes and sports teams, even a kendo club, but it also happens to be full of wierdos.

    This Roleplay is all about the drama, there is no predetermined plot besides what I have already put forward, you all create your own story, and interact with others to effect your story, everyone is linked to someone or everyone else for some reason, and please let it be one that will create conflict.

    Important Organizations:

    The Chinese Amazons-Are a civilization of female dominated warrior peoples who all have great fighting skills and strict customs where only the women may legally be warriors, Hiro once made the mistake of taking on their strongest warrior (Character Opening), he didn't know at the time that one of their most ancient rites involves combat, if a Chinese Amazon Warrior loses to a women, she gives her the kiss of death, a solemn oath to hunt her down until one of them is dead, and if a man beats a Chinese Amazon, the two are considered engaged to be married, suffice to say, Hiro won his match.

    The Kumonji Warriors-A group of martial artists from Europe who have come to Furinkan to try and learn as much about Jusenkyo as possible because they heard that there have been more sightings of people with Jusenkyo curses here than anywhere else, they have an Enigmatic Leader who himself is said to have fallen into one of Jusenkyo's many pools, he seeks information about a cure(Character opening.)

    Furinkan High School: Furinkan's local school, it is huge with many different sports teams and clubs with multiple floors and very high quality education thanks to the enormous funding heaped upon the school by it's rich principal. The clubs of the school include: A volleyball team, a kendo club, a swim team, and a martial arts cheerleader team.

    The Guile School of Martial Arts: The school of martial arts that Hiro belongs to and his father runs, users of the style focus on keeping themselves safe and using any strategy necessary to win when in doubt, they have a sense of honor but will also resort to underhanded tactics, or even cheating to win a fight or competition.

    Any character can be from an organization, but only one male and one female character max from each organization besides Furinkan High School, everyone under the age of 20 goes there. If you have any Organization Ideas, pitch them to me with as many details as possible and I'll accept or decline your Organization

    My SU/Example

    Name: Hiro Rumankan
    Gender: Male
    Age: 16
    Personality: Hiro is generally calm and accepting of others, all he really wants to do in life is be a great martial artist and for the most part be left alone, this is a problem because of how often girls are interested in him, not that he isn't interested in girls, but he is very picky, and easily embarrassed, especially when it comes to girls, although he usually manages to push the annoying ones away with his attitude.
    Fighting Skills: Hiro is a master of a fighting style that is semi-based on the anything-goes style of martial arts and is all about keeping the user in good health, it focuses on being fast and unhittable until the perfect moment to strike back, and when necessary using anything in the immediate vicinity to protect one's self and even stooping to doing thing smost people would consider cheating.
    Rival: Every other guy character at some point.
    Organization: Furinkan High School, Guile School of Martial Arts.
    Linked Character: None yet
    Appearance: Hiro has averagely light skin, striking Jade Green eyes, and Blond hair that is pretty short besides his 'Dragon tail' at the bottom of the hair on the back of his head. Hiro is about 6'4 and very muscular, but lithe and wiry, he usually wears a plain red martial arts vest and plain baggy pants with a belt made of rightly tied rope for mobility and stability.
    Switched Form: Whenever Hiro is splashed with cold water he becomes a small, very cute white cat with very light blue tabby stripes, which is a real pain because 1. cats don't like to be wet. 2. he can't fight very well as a cat. 3. It brings way too much unwanted attention from girls.
    Bio: Hiro has spent most of his life in Furinkan, training at his fathers very own martial arts school, when he was 12 he left to go around the world and fight different martial artists and become better at what he did best, 4 years he was gone, during the course of which he managed to make many different enemies and even a couple fiancees he wants nothing to do with until he came upon a small spring in china where he even managed to battle members of an Amazon like society that focused mainly on martial arts, he was well known and hated when he beat their best warrior and left as soon as possible, finally Hiro ended up at the forest of the cursed springs, his biggest rival had challenged him to a battle here, the kindly caretaker told him not to go in but Hiro shoved him aside, saying he feared nothing and he had to go in. Hiro's rival was definitely waiting for him, when they fought the battle was fierce and lasted a while, it finally ended when they both hit each other at the same time and each flew into a spring, when Hiro fell in he found the pool larger and deeper than he saw before, he also couldn't seem to swim well, but he finally gripped solid ground and pulled himself out to see he was a cat. The caretaker from before came with a piping hot kettle and turned Hiro back to a human by pouring it on his head, the man seemed to know all about the curses. With his mission finally over Hiro headed back to Furinkan to live his life as normally as possible for him....which wasn't very normal.

    Sure. I'll just keep waiting
     
    You've got the wolf then, just post your SU when it's ready.
     
    Alright, but don't bother reserving guys, there's room for plenty of people, we need at least 3 guys and 3 girls, the story is full of slightly nonsensical love triangles
     
    My SU is complete

    Name: Sai mastofuma(silver flash to my enemies)
    Gender: Male
    Age: 17
    Personality:
    Sai is not the friendliest person in the world, but he cares very deeply for his loved ones. Most people are hesitant to talk to him because of his strong and stern presence. He loves to read outdoors sitting up on a tree or rooftop. Nothing pleases him more than sitting out in the woods some where training or reading. When it comes to girls he is actually quite shy. Its easy to challenge some one to a fight but its a different matter to share your feelings with someone you like.

    Fighting Skills:
    Sai teaches himself much through his books he came across a book of the bodies pressure points and has based his style of fighting on that. No opponent should ever get to close. Sai uses a southern praying mantis stance to deflect enemy blow long enough to get near a vital spot then get in a bunch two finger shots or karate chops or even a well placed palm to knock out his opponent. Because of his silverish gray hair all his opponents see is a silver flash before they black out.

    Rival: Sai backs down from no man, woman or beast if they are better than Sai they will become his rival.
    Organization: Furinkan High School
    Linked Character: not at this point

    Appearance:
    Sai has a light brown tan from being outside so much. He has silverish gray hair that is slicked backed and spiky. He as ice blue eyes to match his personality. He wears pretty loose fitting clothing usually a black sleeveless shirt with white slack pants that grip his ankles for better movement. He wears a nice leather belt with a golden dragon design that his father gave to him before he passed.

    Switched Form:
    When Sai comes in contact with cold water he turns into a black owl with silver streaks along his back. It is a pain when summer roles around everyone trying to cool off and he is no where to be found for fear of being doused or splashed and you would not believe how awkward it is to fly when wet. His mom knows of his transformation and was shocked at first but loves her son all the same she even thinks he looks handsome when he transforms.

    Bio/Back-story:
    Sai and his mother moved to china after his father died to go live with his mothers side of the family. He spent most of his free time training and reading most of the time with one or two friends. Sai had enrolled in Furinkan High School because his uncle worked there and he could stay with him during the school year and his uncle could keep an eye on him. Sai had been going to Furinkan High School for a couple of months and started hearing a lot of weird rumors. He had heard rumors about the cursed springs and thought nothing of it but his curiosity peaked and he went just to see what it was all about. He had promised his mother he would visit her as often as he could every time he got a break from school, so he decided to kill to birds with one stone and went to go check out these springs. The care taker warned him not to go in but he didn't care he pretended to walk away then he snuck in. He walked all around looking at all the different springs but as he was just about to turn back and leave a big crow swooped down and startled him making him stumble and fall into one of the springs. Sai thrashed around until he found his way out and onto dry land. To his surprise he had been transformed into an owl. The caretaker came out and dumped hot water on him to change him back with a look of sympathy on his face. He had heard of others like him in the school and hoped he could get answers. Sai is going to try and cope with his new lifestyle and hope for the best.

    Alright, good SU, you are accepted, but Furinkan is in Japan while Jusenkyo is in China, so you need some sort of journey to Jusenkyo and to Furinkan
     
    Sorry about that

    I took some time and edited the whole thing my grammer stunk and I had spacing problems. I fixed the storyline sorry about that I spaced so bad on that one. I hope the changes are sufficiant.
     
    It'll do, you are accepted, hopefully we'll get some girls in here soon.
     
    Question

    ok so i have a quick question. you said that only 1 male and 1 female per organization, so that means that since waterelemental is with the furinkan highschool that means that i cannot be in that organization now? also i had an idea about a organization that might be good. i was thinking of a like undercover police for young students to like keep an eye on high school kids and to keep them out of trouble. just a suggestion though. so heres my SU just get back to me about my question whenever.
     
    Sorry I should have been more clear on that, that rule doesen't apply to Furinkan High, everybody who's under 20 goes to Furinkan High School
     
    Name: Karasu Takahashi
    Gender: Male
    Age: 16
    Fighting Skills: Learned Jeet Kune Do at a very young age and has been practicing this since he has fully learned it. He is an adept in Kendo. And is an expert Marksman.
    Rival: None yet
    Organization: Furinkan High School
    Linked Character: Hiro Rumankan
    Appearance: Karasu has jet black hair, the left side of his face is covered with bangs that reach down to his chin, the rest of his hair is normally spiked up (unless in a bad mood). His wardrobe is a bit different from normal, all of his jeans are black with a purple trim, and he only wears a wife beater underneath a long sleeved striped shirt. He has black silk shorts that he personally made for his transformations. He also has a black tattoo that goes all over his body that is related to an old family tradition for all the males. His eyes are a very light shade of green, and he has a deep scar on the back of his left leg. His skin is a pale gray. Since the only time he is usually outside in the sun in his regular form is at school.
    Switched Form: When hit with cold water Karasu turns into a 30 pound black fox, with a light cover of silver fur on its back that is barely visible to the untrained eye. His tail is all black until half an inch from the end and the rest from that point is a bright white. The silk shorts he made for these transformations are designed to turn into small shoes for its feet so they don�t get hurt and it has a better grip with any terrain.
    Bio/Backstory: Karasu use to be a nice kid until a fateful car crash had sent him to Jusenko, his parents had almost died and the only doctor with the experience could only be found there. During his visit to Jusenko he went to the cursed springs and was just chilling out when some kids were having a very intense fight and got knocked in and the last thing he heard was "Hiro". After that day his parents have been afraid of him for the last 3 years. So they had bought him a house with a maid and set him up to get a fund to survive each month with the maids help. Even though she is nearing her 75 yr mark Mizuki the maid, Karasu has been in love with her, it was a kind of mother-son relationship. He doesn�t travel much he just stays within the city limits, only testing his courage as the Black Fox occasionally. Karasu learned Jeet Kune Do from a master in Seattle during a fighting tournament he had won as a young kid and has been named a master at the age of 11, 2 years before the accident that changed his life forever. He practices his martial arts routine with his Jeet Kune Do routine every morning 2 hours before school. He has heard of other people falling into the cursed springs and having a �changed� life, so he has started an investigation of his own. So he has started to talk to the other students and gather information for the first time since that accident.
    I hope this is good enough. :)</p>
