I am seeking players who are interested in martial arts, and those who would be willing to create 'Oriental' characters ('Asians', to be general).
The content of these characters, including their general appearance, clothing, weapons, and fighting styles, should have Chinese influence. I guess the best reference I can provide are Shaolin warrior monks and Wuxia fiction. Anything dealing with karate (SpongeBob karate does not count), kung fu, taekwondo, jiu jitsu, etc. However, I am not oblivious to the popularity of samurai and ninja, which are Japanese, so I will accept characters who have samurai/ninja influence and use samurai/ninja weapons - but it should be fairly limited; the characters should appear as if they were drawn from Chinese lore, not Japanese.
These characters will be invited to a temple where they will spar with each other to determine who the best martial artist is. We will also use 'chi', which is more or less our version of mana; however, character 'magic' will be elemental and fairly limited. The initial sparring will be strictly hand-to-hand; no weapons and no armor will be allowed.
Who here would be interested?
EDIT: I have a few ideas for a storyline, but I want to see what kind of players we get first. Right now, however, I am thinking that Wei Shen (my character) has been instructed by his master to invite the other characters to a secret temple; here, we will train, spar, and compete. Ultimately, we must travel back to our homeland in the far east and begin a new quest.
