OK I am definitely posting interest for this! I'm thinking of a calm and collected killer from the Wood Temple! She would have based her martial art on her Cacnea and his use of his needles to deal the max amount of damage with pinpoint accurate ranged projectiles.
I based the idea off of Shurikenjutsu, thrown projectile based martial art, and would go with a Marksman, Skirmisher, Taskmaster, and Ninja build. However I would like to ask if I could get an exception made for the "Aiming Down The Sights" feature? If I use the projectiles, which are short range while the feature calls for long range, then I can't benefit from it so if possible could I have it work for the shurikens she uses?

I'm defiantly interested in this. Will fossil Pokemon be allowed as a starter?

Got a quick question before I hit the hay. Sorry if this has already been answered and I missed it.
Rhewlif, is there an age limitation on our characters? For instance, could I make an older, accomplished martial artist that is beyond his prime, but still a force to be reckoned with, story-wise, or would you prefer younger upstarts?

Do people know the existence of pokemon out of the main 5 elements. Like Cubone or Marowak. Because I was thinking of making a Telekinetic with Cubone as the base for their martial arts (Bone a rang!)

Alright I took into consideration what you said Rhewilf, I've detailed it a bit so he sounds a little more Fiery. He's less 'planning and taking time' and more 'making smart decisions on the fly' type of leader. I also wrote more in the Personality box to make him a bit more in line with his Temple. Let me know your thoughts and if its ok I'll get on to the rest of it. Tsui Yanlin, aspiring commander of the Fire Temple. (Still working on it.)

Can i just say that i love this concept you have going on and that i'm definitely interested in this.
edit: I've got a few ideas for this already, that just need to be fleshed out a little. one of them is of the wood temple with ribbons/fans as weapons. The idea here is that the character uses graceful movements as she attacks, almost as if dancing, with a starter that uses vines/petals for attacking.

Mithias So far, a qi seems good and accounted for mechanic wise. Just remember the additional fluff I requested but I understand you are still working on Mai. twilightkiwi Yes, type synce is allowed I'm sorry to break this to you. But the age range I was going for was between 17-20. It was my bad for forgetting to add the desired ages. I think Maku is a really solid character and I think you can still work with what you got to make a younger version of Maku. gintash No, you will most likely be unable to take Apricorn Ball unless your character tries really hard to get into the Wuji Temple. Delaunay looks good over all. There are just some bits and pieces wrong with the sheet. Basic Ball is not a skill you can take because pokeball so don't exist in this setting. You get a free elemental connection. I assume you this but add the edge to bonus feature/edge section on your sheet. You get a free Training Feature. You also get one feature OR stat bonus (one or the other stat) for your Trainer Lv. 5 Advancement Bonus. gameofchampions Yes you may use Aiming Down the Sight w/ short ranged weapons. I suggest either taking an elemental class belonging to your temple or leave room for an elemental class later on. joegus Yes, fossil Pokémons are allowed JPThunda Age range is 17-20 with 17 being fairly young @nanodan Very very few people know let alone seen a Pokémon outside the Five Elements. They are mostly thought as old wives tales or legends. Zhuravlik First, your Touched edge doesn't account towards your edge allotment so put it with the other bonus stuff on your sheet. Tsui's personality looks good and 'fiery' enough to me. Oh, but put Tsui's name in last name first, first name last format. wyomonI will look at your character later on today

Alright, posted this up in the Skype, but let's make it official. From the Fire Temple, I give you Jishin Saiko, the Burning Fist! As always, feedback is appreciated, and I'm more than happy to answer any questions you might have (I know it's a lengthy backstory). Also, I assumed that we are getting our pokemon once being selected as Magistrates, but if that's not the case I can include some stuff about his bird.

Awesome! Thank you for that and ya I can do that, I'll take a look at the grass elemental stuff and will probably replace ninja with it since I'm not very married to the ninja aspect of the build.

Hey I'm new here! This story seems awesome, and I'm interested but I don't think I'm ready to play. Would you mind if I sat in on the game sessions so I could learn about how this all works?

Certainly, hazz3rd, I don't mind but I'll be the first one to say that there is much more experienced game masters on the sites than me. A lot of people are on the Wuxia Sype group discussing their characters and the game. If you like, you can send me a message containing your skype name and I can add you to the group.

One thing you should probably note is that this is a play by post site. So if you're anticipating sitting in on Real-Time sessions, I'm afraid that this isn't the place for you... However, if you want to learn what's up, I'd suggest joining the Skype chat linked in Announcements. There are plenty of people there to help you understand stuff.

I have some ideas brewing. I'm PineTreeQ on skype, if you wouldn't mind adding me.

So I don't actually have skype since there is some issues with my account right now. Will that be a problem? I also don't have the desire to get another one for however long it'll take to sort out my main one.

No problem on both counts. Just send me private messages if you need to ask me something personally. We will most likely have a OOC thread for the game as well

Alright. Like the setting. It was enough to finally convince me to join the PbP forum.
I'm thinking of a Mongolian inspired character; The son or daughter of a troublesome Khan from the western hinterlands, taken by the emperor as a child to ensure his/her father's good behavior, and raised at the Wood Temple. Would this character concept be fine for the setting?
I'd take Skiddo as a starter, and Rider would be one of my starting classes, but beyond that I'm still fleshing the character out in my head.

weirdsoundThe background sounds good. You are still technically from Huaxia even though your people were subjugated by the Emperor. Just be aware, that trying to rebel against the Emperor while becoming one of his Magistrate isn't a good idea

I probably shouldn't, but I can't resist. I'll throw my hat in. Currently thinking of either a big burly Tree Oath Druid from the wood temple with a Torterra-inspired heavy weapon style (probably /Fortress), or an acrobatic Water Temple guy with a Buizel-inspired style like a leaping waterfall. I'd like to hop into the Skype chat, please - I'm matthiaswave on there.
