The Undying RP
It has been 30 years since the clan wars came to an end. Under the rule of the Jade Dynasty the 7 clans ushered in a new era of peace. But it was not to last. 3 days ago Emperor Tseng Su Zao and the royal family were assassinated in the darkness of night by a group of hired assassins known as the Dragon Lotus.
The 7 clans cast blame on one another and with no living heir to assume the throne, the peace between clans is beginning to crumble. While the clan elders vie for power over the throne, a more sinister plot unfolds in the shadows. Almost immediately after the Emperor’s death, a dark fog began to sweep over the land and with it demons have begun to appear. The dead are unable to find rest and are trapped in the mortal world. Spirits who cannot find rest are consumed by the fog and become Wraiths.
The regions of The Jade Dynasty have called upon the greatest warriors of the 7 clans to defend their lands. Can the clans put their differences aside for the sake of Jade Dynasty? Or will the land fall to darkness and be consumed by demons?
Factions:
Dragon Lotus- the revered assassins of Shadow Gate have no moral standing and lend their services to the highest bidder. Currently they are sought after by all of the Empire due to their assassination of the emperor.
Jade Monks- the personal bodyguards of the royal family. The Jade Monks were disbanded when they failed to thwart the assassination of the royal family. Their members are currently in hiding.
The 7 Swordsman of Aurora- The 7 greatest Swordsmen in all of the empire can call themselves one of the 7 Swordsmen of Aurora. (must be of Adept Rank in order to join the 7 swordsmen)
Grand Inquisitors- These telepaths are sent by the Jade Dynasty when matters of great importance to the Empire need to be investigated (must be at Adept Level and know the Seeker’s Discipline to join)

Stats
Health: You health determines how much damage you can take. When your health reaches 0 you die and are sent to the Nexus for 5 posts
Defense: Defense determines your ability to block and evade. Defense is decreased in direct proportion to the amount of damage an attack skill inflicts. Ex: if you have 50 defense and an attack does 25 points of damage, you lose 25 points of defense if you post that you blocked or evaded it. When your defense reaches 0 you are fatigued and unable to move for 2 posts. After which your Defense returns to its original state.
Spirit: Spirit determines how many times you can perform a Discipline Skill. Stronger skills use up more spirit energy. If your spirit reaches 0 you are unable to perform any Discipline skills for 2 posts. After which your Spirit returns to its original state.
