Greetings people of The Blackstar Dojo.

This place was recommended to me by the person known as EnD after a minor skirmish down at the Gameware forums.

I am Mannequin, and it is a pleasure to meet you all.

Ahh, it's always nice to see people comming still from the likes of Gameware. Very Happy

Welcome to Blackstar, I hope you have a nice time. Try not to be too overwhelmed with the way things work round here. Wink

Who is this "EnD" fellow? Razz

Welcome to the Forum of Blackstar, refuge for all those afflicted by Gameware's dreaded "Leanne" syndrome. Kinda.

Leanne syndrome?

I was only at Gameware untill three days ago on Saturday. So I have no real idea on what you are talking about.

Do I have to give an example of my roleplaying skills before I join in anything? I do not know if they are up to standard, but EnD seemed slightly impressed...

The EC will decide if you are good enough for them (not an incredibly high standard), if and when you apply, or you can try the Guardians (even lower standard Laughing

).

Or you can say "Screw em' both!" and just be a normal Role Player, with not skill requirments.

Welcome to Blackstar Mannequin, I hope you enjoy your stay here Very Happy

After hearing that you were here on EnD's recommendation and going back to check your posts over on Gameware, I have to say that I'm pretty damn impressed. If you ever decide to get into our belt ranking system, check out the Mantis style and give me a shout Wink

.

There's no need for a demonstration of your skill (unless you want to give one Razz

), anyone and everyone is welcome to join us. The belt system is more or less optional for people to abide by, it exists so that should one wish to, they can request that only members of a certain skill level partake in their RP (if you don't see anything like that mentioned in the thread though, it's all good - afaik, we've yet to have a belt limit RP). If you're curious about our standards, I'd say that you'd easily make green belt with your current skill level (probably higher, depending on which style belt you go for).

EDIT: Speak for yourself Goron, the EC's standards are higher than ever Razz

Might I ask who these groups are? The Gaurdians seem like they are the good guys, so, the EC are the opposite? What does it stand for?

The EC is much better known as the Evil Council. In a nutshell, we're a group based here that spend most of our time acting insanely evil or evilly insane. If something bad happens here, it's usually our fault (and even if it isn't, odds are we'll take credit for it Razz

).

Our public website is down atm, but feel free to check out our wiki page for all the information you could possibly want to read about us.

The Guardians aren't so much a force of good as they are protectors of the balance. After a massive war over on Gameware, a few people (namely Goron) decided that the main problem that they'd had was a total lack of any organization - unlike the EC, Gameware-friendly RPers were scattered and mostly looking out for themselves, very few seemed concerned with much else. So to better organize themselves against future attacks, the Guardians were formed. Or something like that. I don't know really, I'm not a member myself (though from the looks of things, they still aren't all that organized Razz

).

Hmm... Seems then that my proffesion would not be wanted then...

Where would one go to brush up on his skills? I have looked at the RP's and they are all mostly going in full throttle. Is there anybody I could spar with or train with?

Ah, hello Mannequin. Due to the name of this thread and your own, I am quite interested in what your character is like. I do believe tht you and the feline known as Xuxi will get along very well. I also hope you may become the newest cannonfodder- I mean, 'member' of The Evil Council. Wink

And beware HisLordShip, him and 3kul are in leauge together to swipe all the undies of the female Dojodians. If you are of the female persuasion, keep then under lock and key. Very Happy

"Hurr... I never really liked the idea of "Teams". I am what you might call a Polite Mercenary.

In a battle, I would go to whoever asked me first. Hah, as you can guess I didnt get much buisness. Razz

Challenge arena you say? I might go have a look their now. Should I post my Character Profile first? If so, where?

No Panther, In an RP I am neither "

The wooden puppet rabs his head with his knuckles, a dull thud follows. Obviously he has no features at all, no eyes, face, mouth, ears or anything really. He seemed to look like those fully posable dolls that artists sometimes have lying around.

"Although the closest thing you could call me would be Male I suppose. And to Feline Xuxi, I look foreward to meeting you."
