[SG] Way of the Martial Arts
« on: June 10, 2019, 12:41:29 am »

What is martial arts?

Some say it is a sword, meant to destroy ones enemies

Some say it is a shield, meant to protect the valuable things in life

Some say it is an expression of the self. A means to develop and enrich one's soul.

Whatever it is, the way of the martial arts is the path you seek.

What is your name?

What is your gender?


And where does your journey begin?

A. The coastal city of Odenport, great seaside economic hub of the Empire.

B. The sleepy village of Milt, in the outskirts near the Lone Mountain.

C. The decadent city Valum, capital of the Empire and hive of treachery.

Coinflip, landed on tails. Shu Hoo it is.



Valum. Beautiful Valum. Sickening Valum. Your home for the last 16 years of life.

The towers of the city reach as high as the clouds, some days. That's the view from the ghettoes, at least. Only the central buildings are given any sort of space to breathe. Everything else is shithole after shithole, squeezed together like branches in a bundle.

Your life has been:

A. Wretchedly poor. Lowest of gutter trash, you have never known anything but the life of an animal. Starving and penniless, you seek the strength to take something resembling life for yourself.

B. Blessedly rich. Not the most elite of the elite, but high enough where your name carries weight. Burdened by expectations and a frail body, you seek the strength to make your family proud.

You start today the same as every other, hungry. Looking around, you see the sewers you call "home". To your left lies your mother, still sick. Wrapped in as many pieces of cloth you could find. Smaller than even you, right now, and barely breathing.

Clambering up the steps to the surface, while blinded by the light of the morning, you're immediately knocked on your ass. The pain barely registers, and you look up to see this shitheel of a guard walking past you. You let it go. What can you do?


...

What CAN you do?

The sheer helplessness of that question infuriates you.


A. Steal from the big house nearby. The gentleman who lives there moved in recently. Some wiseman from the East, apparently. Looks rich enough, and there barely seems to be any sort of defences.

B. Fight in the dog pits. Not exactly the Arena, and the odds of you fighting either a boy like yourself or a hound are about even. Tough way to earn money, and barely any for that matter, but it's something.

C. Beg near the Gymnasium. All the hulking bastards there seem well fed enough, maybe they'll have something to spare for little you.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

You walk past the house in question, glancing at it from the corner of your eye. An iron fence around it, but no gate. Odd choice. Two floors, 4 windows that you can see. As uneducated as you are, you can tell that the house is impressive. Ornately carved wooden walls, pillars on the outer edges, and a very big door. Looks like it would take two men to open it.


You're in the middle of your analysis when you feel something behind you. It's something big, dangerous. A dog? No, it feels almost like an entire squad of guards with their spears aimed at your back.

Looking down at your hands, you see they're shaking.

You turn around.

This old man is probably like a super magic old man given the aura presence. Err, speak to him and hope he does not beak our face in training montage?

Any specific thing you want to say, or any sort of general intent you'd like Shu to convey?
