Tokyo - Cally Badlands

Stretches of the California Wastelands, were surprisingly quiet. Although it was partially due to Tokyo's Monowheel which glided as softly as a cloud. And it was also partially, due to the fact that the Cally Badlands were a bone-dry hellhole, which wasn't really suitable for sustaining much life. Tokyo only saw one thing that somewhat convinced him that there was some sort of civilization at some point. And that was a glass bottle head that stuck up between some asphalt cracks that were buried under the sands of time.

This was Tokyo's first time in a region of Europe, and although he wasn't sure what to expect. He certainly expected to be more noise. After all, this was supposed to be something relating to the preliminaries of Risk Rally. Tokyo just stared at the vast swathes of nothingness before him, as his googles and mask took in some more dirt from the road.

Bored, Tokyo began fiddling with a radio knob. Not surprisingly, there was little but some static. However after continued finagling with the radio, the thing was buzzing with life, as it played a familiar tune.

It appeared that there were some 'pirate radio' stations out here. Perhaps Tokyo wasn't steered in the wrong direction. It might have just been the direction that he needed to go. And that is when he heard the thrumming of engines in action coming downwind.

Well. The sound of life confirmed Tokyo's suspicions. He was actually heading the right way now, and he knew that it wouldn't take all that long. Surely, the drivers in that caravan of vehicles were after the same prize as him. Tokyo just had to go a little further, and soon would find himself able to do his task.

After all, the fate of Jade Dragons brothers rested with him. And Tokyo, could not afford to fail them.

'Toyko'/#Racer 6, 'The Ronin'

Name: 'Tokyo' (Actual Name: Kim Kyung)
Age: 26
Height: 5'4”
Weight: 147 lbs
Nationality: Japan (Actually from Korea)

Appearance

Bio: Kim Kyung was born in a now defunct Korean Company Town. The boy's early life was spent scavenging for useful metals and bringing them back to his corporate overseers. This boy didn't want to live as a corporate property forever, and always thought about how he would escape that place. And so when the opportunity was right, he fled Korea as a stowaway aboard a cargo ship. The freighter docked in Tokyo and upon arriving in Japan he met the Jade Dragon Gang. Tokyo earned his place with the gang by fulfilling his tasks of roughing up rival goons, tagging their turf and general misdeeds for the crew. However life was not going to remain fortunate for the Jade Dragons. In the middle of a corporate heist, the vital players of the Jade Dragons were captured by a Rival Faction, the Chain Rats. Fortunately, the Chain Rats were willing to exchange their newly acquired prisoners, for a hefty price. Risk Rally would provide a fortune needed for the 'bail' payment. So, Tokyo stole a vehicle from an impound lot on their territory, and headed off to compete for the prize for the freedom of his gang.
