INTRODUCTION Until now life was simple and care free with nothing more to do then school and hangout with friends. Now? Life has been turned upside down and you've been summoned to the Xiaolin Temple to learn how to become a Xiaolin warrior. What does any of that mean? You haven't even the slightest idea.
Upon arrival to the temple you are greeted by a few others who seem to be in your exact predicament and it's clear neither of you know the real reason why you've been summoned. When you enter the temple you are greeted by the master of the Temple, dressed in long blue robes with black pants and a shaved head. "Welcome! I do hope the drive up the mountain wasn't too terrible." He seemed to laugh at his own words as he spoke, as if in his mind it was impossible for it to be terrible in any way. "Thank you for joining us and responding so quickly to our summons. If you'll come this way I'll introduce you to the last member of your group, she is -what you would call- a fish out of water. She's lived in the Xiaolin temple since she could walk, so she will be the one showing you around.
After a brief glance among each other you shrug and follow after the strange man in front of you as he began to walk away, further into the temple. A few minutes walk and you all arrived in the court yard, a beautiful green orchard filled with all sorts of flowers, trees and unusually winding paths. "Everyone, this-" The man said and gestured to a young girl about your age, standing in red and black robes, "- is the last member of your team, Sonia." He then glanced back to the small group of newbies and smiled, "I think I will leave you alone to get better acquainted."
Alright so now that that's done and done I figure this is right where we will pick up! The group meeting one another and going on their first hunt. I understand the introduction doesn't explain a lot about the whole scenario but that's the point. It makes it so the characters have to ask more questions, learn more and as they learn, you learn. Of course, if you ever have any questions you can also ask too! Don't be shy!
RULES
1: Be active! And I don't mean you need to be posting a reply once a day! No, I mean I want you to be post a 'Hi!' or a 'Hey guys!' at least once a week to show you are still alive and still going to be roleplaying with us. I don't like it when people ghost out without saying anything. If you lose interest let us know so we can find someone else to fill your spot! If you don't think you can be active enough to really reply as often as you think we'd like, then let us know and we can still make you apart of this roleplay! We will just be giving you a different role, most likely a villain or a friend who will pop up every now and then.
2: The Forum Rules are our rules too! This should go without saying but I suppose this is just a friendly reminder.
3: Semi-Literate! I expect at minimal one paragraph when we are all roleplaying as a team but when it is just a one on one (as some situations will be) I expect at least two paragraphs with meaning. Don't be afraid to be descriptive! (so long as it doesn't break forum rules)
4: No God-Modding or powerplay! Your character is not perfect and will not win every fight. But that's what makes it fun!
5: No perfect characters. Each character is expected to have flaws and weaknesses in their styles so that the character can have development and and growth in this roleplay.
6: If you have an idea, share it! If we think it might have a few kinks in it, we will work them out so we can use your idea! 6.2: If you have an idea for a Shen Gong Wu (The mystical items we will be hunting) then share it and we will talk it out! I would love to have at least one new Shen Gong Wu to be created by everyone!
7: please you a form of ( ) [] {} when not roleplaying, to make sure there is no confusion among the ranks.
8: I want us all to get along! If at any point you have a problem with anything or with someone else in the roleplay, PM me and we can talk about it and see if anything can be done.

Main Characters-Earth Elemental warrior- Claimed by Nightdreamer : Sonia || She is from a small town in Russia originally but was brought to the temple at a very young age and has lived there ever since causing her to be a bit of an awkward person as a whole, misunderstanding simple things and expressions that are constantly used. She is very kindhearted and would never harm anyone who did not throw the first strike unless angered to do so. Very hard to get her angry however, when she is angry it could take up to a few days to fully calm her down. || She is 19 years old || Her best friend up until has been Dojo Kanojo Cho, or just Dojo.|| Fire Elemental Xaiolin warrior- Claimed by ↫↫↫↫↫ кαямα ↬↬↬↬↬ : Devessa "Dev" Adair || She's from Ireland, so yes she got a thick accent but somehow seductive. She was only brought to the temple when she was around sixteen years old. Treated somewhat as an outcast she is rude, snappy, competitive, sassy, outgoing, flirty, and just can be plain mean. Even if you befriend her she'll still have some snappy retort to give. She may seem cold and reckless but deep down she cares about everyone and is very protective. She would kill or die for someone to protect loved ones. A weakness for her is sweet treats, bring dessert and she'll do anything to get it. || She is eighteen || Wind Elemental Xaiolin warrior- Claimed by Taiyou : Yoichi Nakayama || Yoichi is the son of Kazutaka Nakayama, the head of Nakayama Industries, a prominent Japanese tech company in Tokyo, Japan, as such Yoichi can get the latest gadgets and is quite tech savvy. Although he grew up in a big family with a twin brother and nine older brothers, Yoichi is timid and one of the few rational thinks in his family. He can be quite caring willing almost anyone out and though not one to lose his temper, lately Yoichi has become irritable and reckless which blur his judgement. He is also competitive, easy going and a good friend to those close to him. || He is 19 years old.|| He vivid collector of artifacts, weird items, and geeky items. Call it a weakness or problem but he loves anything shiny so don't be surprised to see him paying close attention to any Shen Gong Wu. || Water Elemental Xaiolin warrior- Claimed by misstrissshade353 : Amanda Villains Main Villains-Dez Leon- Nightdreamer : Dez is from New York City originally but he travels around a lot. On his travels is where he found out about the Shen Gong Wu and has become obsessed with obtaining every last one of them for his own personal collection and use. Some would call him stuck up but he's worked very hard to get where he is now so he believes he has earned the right to be as 'stuck up' as he likes. He has an extensive knowledge of the Shen Gong Wu but has yet to actually find one for himself. Kalsifur Silver- Taiyou : ||Kalsifur is from England where he works as a mercenary. While stealing jewels from a museum he came across information about the Shen Gong Wu and decide to find the artifacts in hopes of taking over the world. Kalsifur very persistent and will not relent until he is successful in grabbing his score. Kalsifur typically has a abrasive nature he enjoys teasing and outright insulting those around him. He is very confident in his fighting skills, having studied martial arts and believing himself capable of taking on two at once. Despite his confidence, however, he is not arrogant or foolish, if he is severely outnumbered or overpowered, he will back down. When he feels that someone has wronged him, he can be severely vengeful. || Side CharactersMaster Lee- Played by Nightdreamer : Master of the Xiaolin temple.

The time had come. The Shen Gong Wu were restless once again, showing that something terrible was not too far on the horizon. The Ancient Scroll of the Shen Gong Wu was a strange artifact that seemed to be asleep until now. Dojo, who had been around since the first time the Shen Gong Wu had been hidden upon the earth and now, it was time to go and find them once again. His spine was tingling and his senses had awoken. "Rise and Shine everyone! It's time! It's time!" He shouted, slithering threw the halls of the Temple before finally stopping in the room where the Ancient Shen Gong Wu scroll was kept. Master Lee, who was always awake at this hour -roughly 4:45 A.M.- was the first to enter the room, "What is it Dojo?!" He said, fear heavy on his voice and expression. He quickly rushed over to the scroll and opened it. It was true, A Shen Gong Wu had made itself known and it was only a matter of time before other unknown forces were made aware of the situation. Master Lee picked the scroll up and brought it into the gardens where he rang the Gong to wake everyone up. Of course there were a few who were already awake but none of which were the ones he needed. The Four Xiaolin warriors in training. Always the late risers. Sonia jumped up from her bed, her long black hair was frizzy and badly needed to be combed but there was no time right now! Master Lee had summoned them! She hopped out of bed, slipped on her shoes and was out in the garden before any of the others had made it. "What is it Master?" She asked, a hint of worry but also a hint of excitement was clear in her expressions. It was only a matter of time! And she had wanted so badly to be able to go out into the world and use her skills she had acquired while living in the temple. Of course, Master Lee wasn't going to reveal it to just her, so she had to wait patiently while the others arrived. Some of them were knew, so she had a hard time giving them slack but this was probably the most exciting thing that had happened since any of their arrivals! And they were asleep!!!! She was getting frustrated just standing there. Even though it had only been 40 seconds. Patients was not her strong suite when it came to things like this, but if you were to have her stand in a line at a carnival ride her patients would be rather surprising. At this point she was basically jumping up and down and switching her feet as she did so. Taiyou misstrissshade353 ↫↫↫↫↫ кαямα ↬↬↬↬↬

Amanda was stretching when she heard the gong and got her robe on. Amanda was a 17 year old girl from Taiwan. She rarely speaks as she tied her dark brown brown hair in a ponytail. She walked out of the dojo to the training area with her icy blue eyes shining. "What is all the commotion about?" She asked through writing on paper. She then went to stand beside Dojo and started to wait for the others to come out as well.

{{ just a heads up I won't be on at all Saturday }}
Oh sweet…sweet strawberry cake oh how I want you…bang! Dev shot up onto her bottom when she heard the gong. “What a drag,” she mumbled. Annoyed her beautiful dream was shattered. The redhead scratched the top of her head and jumped down from her bed. She stretched out, only wearing her under garments at the moment. The young female then grabbed her black robe and slid it on. But didn’t tie it off in the middle so you could still see what she was wearing underneath. “Ugh why,” she muttered to herself as she headed to the garden.
“What is so important to ruin my dream?” She grumbled as she saw some of the others. Her right hand was delicately placed on her hip while the other hung by her side. Devessa eyed down Amanda and Sonia before turning to Master Lee. The Irish woman huffed and peered at him lazily. “Well? Did you just call us here for nothing?” She grumbled getting impatient the longer she went without breakfast and just standing around. Quite frankly, she was still half asleep.

"Calm down Dev," Amanda wrote and showed it to her before writing again. "My best guess is that the first shen gong wu has appeared am I right Dojo?" Amanda wrote and showed it to all of them including Dojo. "Plus I don't mind getting woken up this early in the morning." Amanda added at a different page and showed it to the Irish girl.

Yoichi jumped awake hearing the gong ringing. "Ah! What?!" He grasped his chest looking around his room confused before climbing out his bed realizing Mater Lee was summoning them. Yoichi rubbed his eyes free of sleep as he stumbled to put his robe and shoes on before making his way out to the garden where the other were already gathered. As he arrived to the garden he noticed that he was the last one to arrive as Dev was already annoyed, Sonia was moving around restlessly, and Amanda was showing Dev the writing in her note he felt nervous to say anything to them so he waited for Dojo or Master Lee to speak next.

(That's fine Karma, I work Most of the day Saturday so I won't be on then either. However, I will more then likely be on all day Sunday!)
Master Lee nodded to Amanda, agreeing with her that she was correct about it being the first Shen Gong Wu. He then glanced at Dev and was slightly disappointed as to how she was treating her warrior robes but now was not the time for lectures.
Dojo was on the shoulder of Master Lee, Itching with... excitement? Or... was he just itching? No one could tell at this point and of course it was something big, seeing as how it wasn't only the main four Xiaolin warrior apprentices but the other inhabitants of the temple as well.
"IT'S A SHEN GONG WU!" Dojo burst out, his itching becoming more violent the longer they stood there. "This one's never made me itch like this. I think I'm becoming allergic to more Shen Gong Wu." He huffed, his little arm barely able to scratch fast enough to ease the itch.
Master Lee looked at all four standing in front of him. "Yes, It's time. It seems the Forces of Evil are gathering once again and we must quickly gather the Shen Gong Wu before it's too late." Master Lee looked at each of them individually as he eyes scanned back and forth. They weren't ready. Not by a long shot. But they were going to have to learn quickly if the forces of good were going to win this time.
Master Lee took the scroll in his hand, bent his knees -rather gracefully I might add- into a sitting position and placing the scroll on the stone ground in front of him, he opened it to reveal it's first Shen Gong Wu in quite some time. The Dragon that always appeared when looking at the scroll quickly shifted into that of The Falcon's Eye. "The Falcon's Eye has revealed itself. IT's a good thing this isn't a more powerful Shen Gong Wu, for I fear you all are not ready to face what might lay ahead." Master Lee let out a sigh of painful truth but he then continued. "This particular Shen Gong Wu lets the user see through solid objects. Dojo will help you get there. I suggest you pack warmly." Master Lee then closed the scroll and without another word Dojo hopped off of his shoulder and stood in front of the small group of kids. "You heard the Master go get a coat or five." He said, his itching having calmed down ever so slightly.
Sonia watched with anticipation as the scroll was opened. "The-" She was about to interrupt Master Lee with the title of the Shen Gong Wu but quickly stopped herself just in time. She looked down at the scroll and smiled widely. 'It's time!!!!!' She thought, giddy with excitement now. Master Lee's words seemed to have little effect on Sonia. I mean? How could she NOT be ready for this?! She had spent her ENTIRE life training for this exact moment and now it had come! She bowed her head to Master Lee as he got up and did the same before turning and leaving with the scroll to put it back in it's rightful place.
"Come on Guy and Girls!" She cheered and quickly turned to speed away to find her coat. It wasn't 2 minutes later however that she was back with a coat, mittens and boots. She wasn't sure where they were going but from the sounds of it, it was some place cold!

Amanda smiled, but she also frowned a little when she heard Dojo said to pack something warm. "If I may ask master but where exactly is the Falcon Eye?" Amanda wrote out and showed it to both the master and to Dojo.

Master lee was far gone by then time Amanda had finished writing but Dojo was there to answer, “Somewhere in the far north of Canada. I’ll know when we geg close, go get a coat!” He said, each word was interrupted by a scratch or two.
(Sorry this isn’t so short, sneaking a post in from work!)

Amanda nodded het head and went to her room and started packing warm things including a icy blue winter coat. Amanda realizes something as she closes her suitcase and heads back to the garden. 'Northern Canada around this time has a lot of snow which means that my element will be useful if we run into trouble.' Amanda thought to herself as she arrives back to the garden and gives Dojo a helping hand with the itches he was feeling while waiting for the others to come so they could get going. She puts her coat and and hat and scarf on while waiting and continued to help Dojo with his itches. "Does this help Dojo?" Amanda asked using her voice as she scratched where she thought was possibly very itchy.

Dojo let out soft little "ooof"s and "Awwwwww"s as Amanda helped to calm his itching. "A little. But what would help the most is if we could find and get this Shen Gong Wu!" He huffed, still waiting for the other two to arrive back with their warmer gear. "They should learn to get their gear faster!" Dojo was becoming very impatient but it was all because of the rash that was now clearly developing all over, mostly on his back.

Amanda said nothing as she picked up Dojo and immediately started scratching the rash on his back. "Just give them some time Dojo you don't really know how messy their rooms are." Amanda spoke reassuringly as she continued to scratch his back.
