Rage City

Missy's Letter to you

I'm the best fighter in the world. But It means nothing now, I'm trapped in prison by the same shitty cops who my cousin helped save along with the rest of this city when that psycho's gangs took over. But that was 21 years ago, my cousin Axel Stone, is dead, shot in the head by some shady figures looking for revenge. After his friends heard the news they all went their separate ways, becoming too old or injured to keep the streets clean forever. At last it was only Eddie Hunter, my ex boyfriend who was able to keep the fight going, but he couldn't do it alone, and in a vicious street brawl trying to defend me, he was put into a coma by the Nail Gang. And when I killed one of those bastard for what they did, I was locked up for murder. Now I have to rot in this cell while I hear stories of the gangs starting to take over, its happening all over again.

But I hear there are few of you who aren't willing to just lay down and let this city destroy itself again, some of you are rock hard martial artists and tough street brawlers who are willing to face this new growing threat head on, and take our city back, so the civilians no longer have to live in fear and lock themselves in every night. If you are reading this letter then you are one of the few individuals I've heard about who has the ability to re-enter the Streets Of Rage, and make a Final Stand.

-Missy Stone

P.S. my Cousin gave me this photo, to remind us all of the good old days, when people still decided to fight back.

Brief Overview + Game Rules

This will be an RP loosely based in the Streets Of Rage Universe 21 years from the first game where you will be recruited to join a team of street fighters to right the wrongs of the growing gang problem in the city. Your characters will have to learn how to get along and fight together in a place where loyalty is even more valuable than money.

You will start here at the Rage Gym, where the light is flashing,


its an abandoned training facility that you've been called to by Missy stone. She will speak to you via Video link on the Tv in the gym with your instructions. After the Intro she will send you on set missions, be aware you will not, win all of these missions (probably) and how you fight will effect the outcome if you lose a fight on the streets of rage you will not die (unless explictly stated) you will be transported to Rage Hospital which is run by some affiliates of Missy.

As for the actual fights, they will be run as they are using standard PvP rules no auto hitting, or God-Moding, you can only throw/attempt attacks, not make them connect. HOWEVER I as the GM can auto hit as an enemy if I choose, and you will react accordingly. This is so I can introduce plots and narratives when I need to in combat. (not to be a bully)

Remember while you are all very tough, you are not superhuman, and have access at the very most to 'hyper martial arts' which would be the equivelent of the special abilites that the Streets of Rage players use in game, but just like them if you attempt any powered moves there will be a severe penalty when to health/stamina when using them. Keep this in mind when making your CS.

I haven't finished the bio yet but I'm posting this up to show that I'm not no-showing this time.

Name: “Maximum Destruction” Mike Hardwick
Age: 23
Height: 6'2
Weight: 184
Apperance:
(Taking a picture with two fans before Wrestle Heaven 14 at the Tokyo Dome in Japan)
Fighting Style: A decent bit of jiu-jitsu and judo training, but the majority of Mike's fighting involves professional wrestling taught to him by his teacher and mentor Max Thunder. While he uses a variety of his teacher's strong style wrestling, Mike has a selection of moves from his time in Mexico wrestling in the lucha libre style.
Other Skills: Fluent in Japanese, acrobatic and has a small history practicing free running, has a knack for making just about anything into a weapon.
Personality: Mike believes in himself almost to a fault, he sees himself as the greatest pro wrestler in the world and has yet to be proven wrong in his mind. Though he is a good guy, at least he tries to be, his ego can rub people the wrong way. Mike has tasted the good life wrestling at the highest profile so he might have his standards a bit too high for whats to come.
Bio: As much as Mike would love for his story to be about surviving on the hard streets, learning to be street smart as he fought his way through all comers. The truth was though Mike's childhood is actually kind of boring. He grew up in the small city of Buttehaven, a suburbs of sorts to Rage City. His family was blue collar to a tee. His father worked at the docks in his hometown while his mom was a stay at home. While Mike was popular and liked in school, he was miserable as he felt like Buttehaven was a dead end, and moving to Rage City was a gamble to put it nicely.

It all changed when Mike was in school during career day, one of the people who came to the school was former pro wrestler Max Thunder. He came to advertise his wrestling academy 'Reign of Pain Academy'. Most of the students ignored him but Mike became enamored by the idea, especially when Max took him to a pro wrestling show. It became the moment Mike saw exactly what he wanted to do. A figure larger than life, with a stadium stuffed to the brim with people calling your name.

Mike went through everything Max Thunder's training called for. When Mike graduated he took up the nickname "Maximum Destruction" in honor of his tutor, and began traveling to hone his craft. From hardcore wrestling in Philly, lucha libre in Mexico, and technical wrestling in Germany, Mike Hardwick was picked up finally by World Japan Wrestling Championship when he turned 21. Mike quickly rose the ranks and became a fan favorite despite being American. Life was grand, Mike was experiencing the good life he always wanted. It all came to a head when the owner of the company told Mike he was getting a shot at the WJWC World Championship. He called Max Thunder, and asked if Max would manage him for the big match. After wiping the tear of joy from his eye Max happily accepted.

That was the last time Mike ever spoke to Max.

Max was shot down shortly after Axel's murdering. Leaving Mike completely gob struck and frustrated at a lack of answers as too why. Rage City police were extremely uncooperative, leaving Mike feeling helpless until Missy Stone's message got to him. Mike had his championship match rescheduled to everyone's shock, and took the first plane out to Rage City. He wanted answers, and he was getting them.

My original dude! :D

Name: Dante "New Blood" Chambers

Age: 28

Height: 5'10

Weight: 180

Apperance:


Fighting Style: Freestyle and Hybrid Boxing: Hybrid boxing is a combination of Boxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Taichi, and Dirty fighting but solely revolve around the use of your arms. the style includes leg moves but mostly in defending and supplementary for dirty fighting. So...he can use grabs, slams and take downs, elbow shots, open hand moves for defense and evasion and use cheating moves like eye gouging and throat punches and etc. He created this style to give him better chance at winning fights and to have an effective way to counter other styles.

Other Skills: lock picking, parkour, basic weapon usage: weapons I'm talking about are things you find on the street like lead pipes and such.

Personality: Fearless, hotblooded, and a bit arrogant, Dante never backs down from a challenge. He loves a good fight if it's worth his time....and even if it is not, he'll make it entertaining. He's a bit of a show off as he used to have homeboys of his video tape his street fights and knockout he causes so that he can put it on a broadcasting website. He can work with others but he usually want to be the spot light in the team as he loves to have and gain a greater reputation. He's not above admitting someone having skill or needing help if a time calls for it but he tries not to put himself in that situation. All in all he's someone that would be a great asset to the team, that's if you can tolerate his attitude.

Bio: Dante was really young back when Axel and his partners first fought Mr. X's crime syndicate. when he heard about the events, that inspired him to want to fight. He even witnessed some fighting the following year which was the events when Eddie got involved in the fights to get his brother back. Ever since then, Dante practiced Boxing and through the years, fought kids in his school who were bullying others. later down the line he got into street fighting to make a little money hear and there. After years of honing his skills and adding to his new hybrid style, Dante encountered a situation where he fought a guy from one of the new gangs in the city and defeated him as his homeboys recorded it. Because of the embarrassing loss and the humiliation of having the public eye witness his ass whooping, the guy found out where Dante's mother lived, beat and raped her, leaving her laid out on the living room floor for dead. Because of this, and the increasing problems and acts these gangs cause in his hood, Dante is now on a personal quest to payback the bastards that harmed his mother and to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. Beware bitches New Blood is coming for you.

WIP
Name: Finn "Iron Knuckles" Macbride

Age: 31

Height: 6ft
Weight: 187 lbs

Apperance:


Fighting Style: he is very disciplined in the three Irish martial arts Dornálaíocht, Coraíocht and Batadóireacht. Dornálaíocht is a form of boxing, Coraíocht is a style of wrestling and Batadóireacht relies on kicking techniques. Irish boxing uses bare knuckle style and doesn't utilize a glove. Coraíocht is referred to as Celtic wrestling and features a wide array of trips, mares, takedowns, slams, pins, advancements, submissions, grapevines, and escapes. The most quoted "modern" way of describing the philosophy behind Coraíocht is "use balance and speed to obtain position so that strength can then be applied to the leverage created". Batadóireacht utilized kicks to the shin as well as using the shin to attack an enemy. Finally he is incredibly skilled in the art of stick fighting with a Shillelagh club.

Other Skills: Maybe something like lock picking or driving skills up to 3, specialization rules apply

Name: Valentina "Valkyrie" Angelvolk
Age: 24
Height: 5'6
Weight: 146
Apperance:

"A women of golden hair, snow white skin, and piercing azure eyes
would normally sound like she was taking after her namesake,
however those eyes hold a sharp warriors lust for battle like none other."
- Gang member commenting on their former boss

Fighting Style: Elite Commando Sambo: Sambo has roots in Japanese judo, international styles of wrestling, plus traditional folk styles of wrestling. However unlike normal Sambo, the ECS has been updated to incorporate parts of the Krav Maga fighting style, more so towards the use of reverse weaponry, while the Sambo retains it locking techniques and the use of compact body power.

Val's own personal mix on this style is a little more aggressive since she often actively engages the enemy by the use of weaponry such as tonfas. As they say all fair in love and war and Val wont show mercy or pull punches to the ill equipped as she will gladly use a stowed away flash grenade to give her a opening to batter her opponent senseless before the sensations end.

Other Skills: Driving, Shooting (Also counts as aiming with throwing knives etc.)

Personality: Val is loyal to a fault and seems to take great joy when given a mission she must complete, more so when it includes a fight, which even lead her butting heads with Missy Stone. She is extremely cunning and can judge peoples ability fairly well, but until proven to her otherwise she sees everyone as 'pray' and is the very reason that she works for Missy Stone now, since she respects the women too much to say no. Even though she seems to enjoy fighting a little too much, even to a point where she gains a rather frightening expression, this by no means she is a monster without a heart, it is just hard to see as she is very protective, especially towards younger people. She also has a soft side and is weak to girlish flattery such as 'cute', but thankfully given how the city is she rarely has to deal with such things.

Bio: Born into the military family of Angelvolk the girl knew what it meant to be a solider before she had even lost her first set of teeth, but even as she grew up into a fine young women and pushed into service she felt something was missing... It was when on holiday to this very city when she discovered what it was, she was no solider like her mother wanted her to be, no she was a warrior that lived and breathed the thrill of the fight. No more war zones battled across vast distances, she would become a mercenary and fight up close and personal! Tho disapproving of her daughters choices her mother told her that she only had a year to enjoy such a freedom, and so she did. Being employed by a high ranking business man, who happened to run several of the larger gangs in the city she was able to enjoy herself to the fullest...

Until she came. Missy Stone was to be her rival on that night, high in the construction of a new skyscraper and she ended up loosing in what she saw as a wonderful battle, yet it taught her much. Leaving the employ of the man after his defeat at the groups hands she returned to the military to retain and mature, and now she has once again been called by that very same women that changed her life to return once again to the Streets of Rage... "Well.. So be it~"
