In Lucha Unlimited: Siege, what begins as just another wrestling event in a small town on the Texas/Mexico border turns into an all out war against an angry druglord and his goons. For the wrestlers it was just another show leading up to a larger event at the end of the month. The small town, Silver City, had seen better days. It was the Lucha Unlimited promotion's first booking for the town and everyone was nervous enough. Silver City wasn't the biggest city around, but had a population of just over twenty-two thousand. Nobody expected that during the night of the event a Mexican drug cartel would emerge from a tunnel under a clothing store in a shopping mall next to the gym arena where the wrestling event was being hosted. What happens when the local police discover what's going on? Silver City itself is taken hostage as the cartel makes a stand and opens fire on the police. With innocent people dying just outside of the arena, the luchadores are reminded in the eyes of many they are heroes. After hiding the forty-five or so children in the audience under the wrestling ring, the adults surround the ring itself barricaded with tables, ladders, and chairs. The luchadores? They're taking the fight outside.

With a town under siege can a group of luchadores really make a difference? And could one of them actually be involved with the cartel?!?


The history of Mexican wrestling dates all the way back to 1863. In 1942, lucha libre would evolve into something much more when a silver masked wrestler, known simply as El Santo (The Saint), first stepped into the ring. The Saint made his debut in Mexico City and won an eight man battle royal. The public became enamored by the mystery of Santo's personality, and he quickly became the most popular luchador in Mexico. El Santo's wrestling career spanned nearly five decades, during which he became a folk hero and a symbol of justice for the common man. Since then, hundreds of wrestlers have honored the tradition of lucha style wrestling wearing masks and inspiring all those who watch them. With high flying aeirial moves, reckless fighting styles, and colorful wardrobes... will you join them?

This RP is a little out of left field since I'm normally a straight up superheroes kinda guy. The RP itself was inspired by my old love of pro wrestling as a kid [and wrestling for seven years in school myself], as well as the super awesome wrestling program Lucha Underground that I'm just now getting into on Netflix. Some things to note about the RP:

* You don't have to know anything about what's going on in the wrestling world right now. This will be an
original universe.

* Being a fan of wrestling isn't required, but it definitely helps. Just like an RP about a football team would be
easier for somebody that's a fan of the game or played themselves.

* Only the beginning of the game is centered around the wrestling event, the rest of the game will be our
luchadores trying to keep the people out of harms way while taking down the cartel one scumbag at a
time over the course of several days.

* Similar to the show Lucha Underground, you don't *have* to be a Mexican guy, or a legacy wrestler in a
larger family of wrestlers. And if you wear a mask, you can get away with mostly anything for a backstory.
On Lucha Underground it's said one guy is from the surrounding neighborhood and another wrestler was
working as a dishwasher eight weeks before the show's premiere.

* This RP is also based in part on the comicbook series Lucha Libre: the Luchadore Five.






Now then, if you've got all that and you're still interested, just let me know here in the iCheck. I'd need 6-7 players including myself to get this one going with at least three or four of us in masks. If enough people show interest I'll work up a Character Sheet model sometime over the weekend and we'll try and get this thing moving sooner than later.

I also really dig this dude from Saint's Row and will use him as the owner/promoter of Lucha Unlimited. He'll not only be a badguy in the storyline of the wrestling show, but he'll be working with the drug cartel as well as another wrestler who's in the ring more often than the Walking Apocalypse....

It is weird for me to see this because I was just watching Lucha Underground not too long ago.

I've never really done a wrestling roleplay so consider me interested. :D

I've never done a wrestling RP either, but I'm getting burned out on the same old same old superhero games. That's why it's a little bit wrestling and a little bit luchadore vigilante.

So considering this is inspired by Lucha Underground, the Kayfabe Stories/Backgrounds are real and proper yes? Like say how Drago is the sole survivor of his Dragon Clan and is physically a weird dragon man and is portrayed as a weird dragon man. Or like how Aero Star is literally an alien who traveled through space to the Temple (and possibly time).

Yeah pretty much just like Lucha Underground. But in the real world, people know we're just regular athletic people. We're put in the same category as cosplayers LOL.

Here's the CS requirements if anybody wants to get in on this sooner...

Ring Name:
Entrance Music: [link us to something on youtube]
Real Name:
Age:
Personality: [three words best describing your luchadore]
Finishing Move[s]:
Wrestling Style[s]: [Does your lucha like to grapple? Fly off the ropes often? Or does the wrestler prefer to power slam their way to the top?]
Experience: [2 months up to 20 years]
Appearance:
Mask: [if the lucha wears one]
BRIEF Bio: [This is your wrestler's in-character Bio. If you wanna say you're an alien or a dragon man better put it in here. If he comes from a family of wrestlers, you'd mention that here as well.]
Notes: [Recent injuries, stuff about your wrestler outside of the ring (like he was a dishwasher eight weeks ago), fans opinions of him, etc.]

_________________________________

Ring Name: the Red Jaguar II, formerly Aaron Vasquez

Entrance Music: youtube.com/watch?v=uHBtpqbOKXk

Real Name: Aaron Vasquez

Age: 26

Personality: stoic, reckless, stubborn

Finishing Move[s]: Shooting Star elbow smash, backflip superplex off the top rope [cruiserweight weightclass only]

Wrestling Style[s]: Well versed in grappling and submission before taking up the mask, now Vasquez uses more moves off the ropes, and rather than use a shooting star bodysplash like his predecessor he modified the move into an elbow smash. He also uses powerslam moves on occasion against others in his weight class.

Experience: 1 year in Lucha Unlimited, 2 months as Red Jaguar

Appearance:

This just in shades of red...



Mask:

This just in shades of red...



BRIEF Bio: Aaron Vasquez was an army brat and a former Olympic medalist in wrestling having placed 3rd in his weight division years earlier after several years of wrestling in high school and college. Up until taking up the mask of Red Jaguar, Vasquez had went mostly unnoticed with a win/loss record of 14/8 with several tag matches and placing 2nd in a ten man battle royal victory losing to the original Red Jaguar. When it came time for the masked legend of the last decade to pass the mantle on, he chose Vasquez after seeing a fire in him in the battle royal. With no distinguishing marks or tattoos, only the wrestling promoter and Lucha Unlimited owner 'the Walking Apocalypse' knows that it's Vasquez under the mask. If anyone else knew it might upset a number of people who would feel like they deserved it more.

In the two months of wrestling in the mask, Vasquez has a win/loss record of 5/1.

Notes: Aaron Vasquez is a recently divorced man, father of a two year old girl named Adriana, and also works as a house painter on the weekdays when he's not wrestling. His ex-wife left him for a professional football player after he broke into wrestling, and she took custody of their daughter. He's fighting alcohol addiction better now than he was six months ago, and living in a shitty apartment despite a recent pay raise after taking the mask of Red Jaguar. His daughter and ex-wife were in the crowd the night of the event when things got crazy.

@HushedWhispers@Blight Bug@Nightwing95@rocketrobie2@Drewvonawesome

So if everyone who posted in the iCheck so far makes a CS as well as Drew [who's been bouncing ideas with me in PMs] we'd have enough to get started. The idea is it's a much shorter program and the whole wrestling roster isn't in attendance. Three matches. Unless there's a tag mtch and we'd need a couple more people for that, or a triple threat elimination match.

Remember females can wrestle men in this organization, as this is patterned more off of Lucha Underground. So if anybody wanted to make something like Sexy Star and have a grudge with one of the other more misogynistic males that'd be cool to see.
