We focus on being spiritual and peace-loving individuals who have the balls to fight if it is necessary but generally promote a more Zen kinda lifestyle! It's open to anyone who wants to join and is basically for people who want to get along with everyone and pull people into line if they can't manage that. Consider us the little peace-keeping force that wanders around spouting words of wisdom and building rapport with one and all .... We're also quite devious in some ways, which means we can lay low and then show up when least (or most) expected.

[b:bbcc0a6184]NOTICE TO ALL: THIS IS A SLOW MOVING RP GUILD. THEREFORE IF YOU POST, DO NOT EXPECT A REPLY UNTIL THE NEXT DAY OR SO.[/b:bbcc0a6184]


First off, welcome to the guildpage of the Warrior Monks Guild. Our guild has been around ever since Gaia online started up and have been lurking around ever since. This guild is open to anyone that wishes to join, however there is a guideline I wish for all new recruits to follow when applying. To join: Make a new thread with your filled application form, or send a join request that contains the contents of this application form.

Special note: If your character is unacceptable due to cetian details in thier bio/backstory (example. Your character is invincible/a god), you will not get accepted.

[b:bbcc0a6184]Application Format[/b:bbcc0a6184][/size:bbcc0a6184][/color:bbcc0a6184]

Name: Your character's name. This is a roleplay guild, therefore if you wish to use a different name from your username then type in your character's name here, with your username in parentheses.

Monk Title: This has been a tradition ever since we first started back in Febuary 2k3. A monk title is a title you pick for yourself as you enter the guild. It can be anything you want, but please be appropriate. I say this because I don't want a whole bunch of "Chosen One"'s running around the guild. (If you are going to do something very general like 'the Chosen One', please try to make it original like 'The Chosen one of Fire'). The most common monk title formats are: She/He who is ___, The ___, ___ Monk.

Bio: Anything that you'd like us to know about your character, as well as any features your character would have (like a scar here or wings or whatnot). This can be divided into several sections such as age, birthplace, measurements, personal tastes, etc.

Backstory: Now I don't want a whole novel about your character. You backstory should be relatively short and detailed, but nothing too simple.

Fighting Style: This can be either a real style or something totally made up.

Weapon: The weapon your character uses. If he/she does not use a weapon, just type in 'none' or N/A.

Special Techniques: This is optional. Here you can list and describe certain techniques or skills that your character can perform. Again, this can be real techniques or totally made up.
