CHI


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Chi is a life force that binds us all. It is the energy that keeps a soul bound to a body until death. Everyone in the world has Chi, but it is expressed differently in every individual. The exact ability granted by one's Chi depends entirely on the person. Their power and skill with their Chi depends on how often they train. [/SIZE]

 


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]However, Chi grows slowly. It would take decades for a person with Wind Chi to actually be able to create and control a full blown tornado. By the time someone can actually use their Chi in such a destructive manner, they're usually too old to actually do so, and their body and mind would be unable to take the strain.[/SIZE]

 


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Chi can be unpredictable, and unreliable. Heavy Chi usage will fatigue a person, so most job opportunities [/SIZE][SIZE=14.666666666666666px]do not hire based on a Chi ability[/SIZE][SIZE=14.666666666666666px]. For instance, someone with Healing Chi would still have to go to med school to actually become a doctor.[/SIZE]

 


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Though Chi can be replenished slowly in battle, it can't be fully restored until the user either meditates, or sleeps. Discovering one’s Chi ability can happen in a myriad of ways. It can be triggered by puberty, a traumatic experience, constant meditation and training of the mind, body, and soul, or it can just happen randomly.[/SIZE]

SHIMA CITY

 


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Hundreds of years ago, four families ruled over Shima. Each family had a different dream for the city. The Northern Family wanted Shima to be a city of great prosperity and wealth, but they were  too greedy. The Eastern Family wanted Shima to be a city of spirituality and tradition, but they were said to be too rigid. The Southern Family wanted Shima to be a city of entertainment and attraction, but they were said to be too ignorant. The West wanted Shima to be a city of truth and knowledge, but they were said to be too domineering.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]For hundreds of years in the shadows of political debates and elections, ninjas changed the tide and power dynamic of the city. To this day, the war rages on, and the fire is brighter than ever, now that the former King District of West District has fallen from grace[/SIZE]
