Alright, so this might come across as bias since he is my character (who've I've had and developed on over a year now as this is a not-so-technical revamp of the roleplay between Ghost, Mach and I) but this is what I'm putting down. Fact - Deon is the reigning champ cage fighter of The Spit and has never lost a match. However, his CS clearly states that he didn't always fight at The Spit, actually he has only been there for a year. The years prior were his 'training' years and yeah, the kid lost a lot but he grew from it. If that didn't come across that way I apologize. Case and point, he definitely knows his way around a fist fight, between fast skinny guys, and enormous behemoths. The dude has been fighting almost every day, multiple times for the last year in his hot streak. In hindsight, I probably should have made some mention to his use of Hand of the Devil. However in my defense in the OP under the drugs description, it does mention that it can change the user physically such as the color of their eyes and I have alluded to his drug usage by stated a few times now that his eye color is unnaturally golden/yellow. Like I said though, it was vague. Truly I didn't think it would be a problem so soon in the RP and was going to go into a flashback about how he started at The Spit and how he got on the drugs (I even already have it typed out). So that one was on me. Apologies. Also, story-wise... I mean, it just doesn't really make sense to me for the 'king' to be dethroned within the first few minutes of a story being told. Where is the buildup? The climax? The character connection? Deon loses once and that's it, my character's strong point is done. As I stated to Sypher earlier, oh yeah, there is definitely going to be some Deon knockout time for you - for everyone really. As GM, what I'm doing with Deon is almost the opposite of what everyone else is doing with their character to set up interesting story arcs down the road. I started him up on top, and he will end on bottom - just like any good 'hero'/'villain' story. I love your character, and I admire what she's about, truly I do. But from a story stand-point and by comparing their CS strengths against one another (an extremely seasoned hand-to-hand fighter against a well-rounded hitman), right now, at this point and time, she can't win. I would be willing to take a vote from the others within the RP and get their insight, as they hold no bias but their own, but that is up to them. But like I said, this does not mean that Deon won't ever be defeated, ever. He's got whats coming to him very, very soon and I would definitely not be opposed to the idea of a rematch where she just totally and completely hands him his ass... but at the right time with the proper amount of buildup to make it all the more satisfying. So, to everyone... thoughts?
