I've been thinking of retconning some information on Tao's history in order to have him be in proper terms with stories that have been developed after my absence. A good way would be to change which school he is affiliated with, leaving the Crane School untouched. This gave me a great idea: bringing one of the schools mentioned in the site lore (but not into the currently available ranked positions page) to life. So my question is: which school would you like to see being brought to life in here?
1) Victory School, originally founded by Uub/Majuub. The master will be referred as the Dog Sensei. This is a reference and homage to Bee, the labrador Majin Buu saves that befriends Mr. Satan and him (memories carried over to Majuub after the fusion) who would be the symbol of the school. The school's special technique would be the Chocolate Beam.
2) Kikoukenjutsu School, originally founded by Goten and Trunks. The master would be referred to as the Blade Sensei, a reference to the school swordfight-oriented concept. The school's special technique would be the Fusion Dance and also a way to reintegrate the technique into the site's story and mechanics in the most lore-friendly way possible.
Feel free to comment! Hope I'm not crossing any limits here.

I believe, having been the guy who originally approved of your character, he perhaps would be more along the lines of victory. I've always kinda viewed Tao as that Victory fighter and not someone who fiddles with weaponry. Also, not crossing any limits! There's expansion happening and I'm glad to see that! Anyway, I think there IS an actual Victory school on here, inspired by Goku's teaching and taught through the Son family from generation to generation? @zucceta, was that the case for how things had been?

I don't exactly picture him shooting Chocolate Beams everywhere, though =/
That sounds like something Zexama would do

(Majuub doesn't exist in the site canon, and Uub didn't gain any knowledge of techniques from his Majin heritage until a certain event which I have kept on the backburner just in case we need a staff-driven saga if all goes wrong with player-driven, or once we start hitting the 500k's)
'Victory' and 'Kikouenjutsu' were 'removed' to streamline the schools. I'd like to point out there was also the old 'Satan Legend' academy which, when Pan took over from her grandfather, became a legitimate martial arts academy. However, that was removed even when Resurrection was still going, due to their being too many schools for too few players.
In their original WoD: Resurrection incarnations, 'Victory' was quite similar to Turtle in that it taught the Kamehameha. I cannot recall the support or special techniques, but they would have been based on Goku or Gohan's moves. The 'special' could possibly be the Instant Transmission. The support could be Energy Barrier, or something else useful but not overly perfect. It would not be based off of 'Majuub', as mentioned above, that version of Uub never existed here. The dog motif from Buu's memories would make little sense in this regard.
'Kikouenjutsu' was mostly sword based techniques, but the 'gimmick' special was the Fusion Dance, which would need to definitely be rebalanced if it became a master-taught technique. The Kikouenjutsu school, if Resurrection used our system, would have taught two offensive attacks rather than one + a support. These attacks were Future Trunks' 'God Breaker' energy wave and his Shining Sword Attack used to dice Frieza. One of these could be replaced with a support (maybe a sword-based deflective technique). On the past site, the Kikouenjutsu School was relocated to Vegeta. This may or may not play into your roleplay if you choose this route.
'Satan Legend' focused on taking Mr. Satan's attacks, and actually making them worthwhile. The special would be 'Satan Punch/Megaton Punch', a punch packed with a ludicrous amount of ki (think Goku's 'Dragon Fist' technique seen in a few movies). Rather than having a separate offensive and support technique, he could have a [v2] technique called 'Dynamite Kick' which both acts as a strong kick with an additional 'explosive' effect.
That said, you'd have to save up the zenni to open these schools rather than add them back in as 'official ranked positions'
also, nice to have you back, Tao. we need to RP again.

Thank you for that information Zucceta! I reworked the information about the schools and took the chance to throw in some ideas for the possible moves, as well as adding another possible choice. For that, I'm moving the poll to this new thread: wodsouls.freeforums.net/thread/2026/extra-option-restart-which-school . This was really fun to brainstorm about and I'm excited to get some feedback on it. And let's see if we can work out a thread sometime man! If not with Zucceta and Tao after this all have been taken care of, with my villain character who is in the workings =) If there aren't any protests, I believe this thread could be locked?
