What follows is a sample MartialArts style page, for a hypothetical MA style called Delicious Elephant Style. Obviously, you can click "Modify text of this page" and copy-paste this to your own MA style page in order to use it easily. Don't forget to delete this happy little statement on top. Also, don't forget to add the page to the relevant index page when you are done, as well as the /ByContributor page. Here is the format for additions to the index pages:

This style is an awesome style by me, the author, because I rule.

Background

Practitioners of Delicious Elephant Style vary in texture and flavor almost as much as the pachyderms they seek to emulate. The style's history is clouded in very mysterious mystery, though its first mention in history lies as an appendix to The Almighty Cookbook of Resplendent Might, a cookbook\revolutionary manifesto released in the twilight era of the First Age by discontent Solar chefs. Its teachings spread in fragments following the Contagion, and the modern teachings have divided into several variations dependent on the spices and sauces available in that corner of Creation. (This tree follows relatively close to the original style, but players are encouraged to flavor the style to their particular interpretation of it.)

Training

Delicious Elephant martial artist marinate themselves in tasty sauces, trying desperately to achieve the same state of mind as a lightly browned lemon-pepper elephant steak. Novices merely soak themselves; adepts get to use salt as well, and masters have graduated all the way to pepper.

Weapons and Armor

Delicious Elephants favor either the seven-section staff or the sledgehammer, alternatively desiring the noses of their scrumptious idol or to tenderize their foes as they must tenderize themselves to truly become delicious.

Charms

Tasty Bits Defense</b>

<b>Cost: 3 motes
Duration: One turn
Type: Reflexive
Min. Martial Arts: 2
Min. Essence: 1
Prereqs: None

The character flavors her body with Essence, becoming resilient to damage just as an elephant becomes delicious. For the turn the Charm is active, the character can absorb up to her Essence in bashing damage. This Charm is incompatible with armor.

Flavor text: Jabberwocky sat comtemplating, not wanting to write flavor text. A quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

(As per the standards at FormatStandards/CharmFormat)

Comments

Comments are generally placed at the bottom of the page, under a "=== Comments ===" header; this includes Styles, the index, and generally any other page under MartialArts, or, really, the Wiki as a whole. Comments should be ":<i>Indented and italicized</i>", or futher "::Indented", if responding to other comments. Any comment made should generally be signed at the end -- it won't stop the world if you don't, but it's an easy enough courtesy.

Whoever made this page originally -- I'm guessing Jabberwocky, for some reason -- is awesome. I hope my slight changes and additions didn't ruin your comic vision.
