| Ok. So I want to boot up a new RP, revolving around martial arts. All sorts of ideas would be welcome, but please don't spam or troll. Also, I'd especially like some ideas that are non-magical, and perhaps more sandbox-y than quest-like. |

| Seems like it's worth a try. Will people be able to control each element using different styles of fighting? And wil you be able to mix and match styles to use more than one element? |

There could be different styles of martial arts, with or without the elements
Like one focusing on the usage of weapons
One on defense
One on hand to hand, and disarming
One on the [Insert miscellaneous thing here] |

"One on hand to hand" So, basically, every marital arts style ever. |

| I mean where the MAIN focus is on unarmed combat, and moves away from more defensive fighting, or the art of armed combat. |

| Main focus is martial arts. Unarmed, armed, that hasn't quite been decided yet. Non-elemental would be nice, to set us apart from Avatar and that sort of stuff. |

Earth
Defensive [Since rock is hard and stuff.] Stay planted
Air
Quick, Meditation, etc. |

| Well, this sounds fine... But maybe we might want to go off from the beaten path, and think of something more original. |

I have a background draft-
So we're in a feudal-age-ish time, in a fusion Japanese/European setting. :S
(I might change that later.)
Now we have several orders of martial artists that live/rule the land, and you're one of them, or deciding to join one.
-Some monk-like people who practice a combination judo-karate unarmed combat -A large clan of samurai-people -Lone wanderers that do a taeqwondo style, lots of kicking and stuff -Some lethal boxing or kickboxing people -Maybe Batman/Assassin freerunning fighters in a city -Bruce Lee and some disciples in cameo appearances
There would probably be some sort of problem, and I'm not fond of putting on tyrant overlords. Perhaps a bunch of misguided Robin Hoods, or werewolves? I have a bunch of ideas...
-Aftereffects of a tyrant overlord. :3 -Non-infectious werewolves -Misguided Robin Hood people, perhaps stealing from the wrong people, or killing, idk. -Maybe Batman/Assassin freerunning fighters in a city -Bandits -Unfriendly populace
Oh, and we also need some really interesting geographical features, such as incredible waterfalls with names, huge mountains that everybody goes to, and some cities.
Help and/or edits from anybody would be epic. |

| Hmm... As long as it's not a main-enemy type thing. |

Maybe for the first half or so of the Rp, the city is preparing for the invasion, than the invasion hits,
and either the city beats them back, but is low on food and things are a mess, or the invasion is a success and they attempt to rule the city. |

I really don't want this to be a main-story plot thing, where everybody is trying to do one thing or another, or where one group is inherently evil or good, besides Bruce Lee.
Perhaps we could work on editing this idea? |

| No, I think it should seem like it's black and white, then you get to see the horrors of what happened in the battles and you see what you caused. |

Well, let me explain some stuff...
It's not one city that's concerned. It's a larger country, perhaps multiple small countries.
This is more sandbox than story.
No one faction is represented as completely evil, no one faction is completely good
No magic.
I don't want this to devolve into Avatar. |
