SIFU

Kinata is a massive, sprawling city with five districts in all that each host their own type of unique personality. There are endless opportunities and people to encounter who all have their different motives and goals for being in the city. However, one thing is a common and incredibly vital part of Kinata’s culture: martial arts. To the eyes of most, hand to hand combat is the only honorable way to settle a genuine disagreement. Though there are still your typical thugs with guns and bats, the true fighters use only their two hands and their will. The city and its districts are littered with a variety of martial arts gangs, each with their own reasons for ruthlessly pursuing ownership of the city and having no remorse if they have to step over innocent civilians to do it. The Kinata Police Department tries their best to keep order and peace, but they’re met with heavy resistance and it’s a constant battle of tug-of-war for the two sides. One man was well known in the city for two things; his martial arts mastery and his humble sword shop. His real name was never known, leading to people simply referring to him as ‘Sifu’. Sifu was a kind and humble man who sought to assist all he’d encountered. But he was suddenly assassinated in a heartless and coordinated attack by a gang no one has been able to identify. They ransacked his shop, and left his body bloody and lifeless in the home he loved. What this gang never could have guessed was that all this time, Sifu had a child he had been secretly raising and passing all of his martial arts knowledge on to; You. Now, grieving and armed with all of the wisdom and training of your beloved father, inherit the name of Sifu and set out into the city to pursue the identities of your father’s killers. There is one twist - while grieving your father in the ruins of his shop, an ancient artifact attached itself to your hip, a glowing string of golden bells. You only know one thing; when you die, it brings you back to life.
