DrewVonAwesome — Roleplayer Guild

The world lives and breathes on martial arts and combat fighting.  Cultural influence, stardom, even political disputes were created and made in legendary fights.  While their are many competitions, some less legal than others.  One legendary event has always been The King of Fighters.  A three on three competition that has featured only the elite of the elite in a worldwide traveling competition.  Though the event has seen more than its fair share of not only controversy but even attacks by borderline supernatural forces.  The event though in recent years has been successful and without much in terms of dangerous activities.  

This year’s event however began to develop in unique ways.  Firstly the main sponsor of the previous years’ event backed out under mysterious circumstances.  The new main sponsor remaining unknown with rumors swirling from mult-billionaires to some new enterprise.  As the letters containing the official invitation began to be sent out, with their signature red wax seal.  The biggest surprises were soon to arrive.  The letters were sent out not just to King of Fighters regulars, but to many other fighters as well.  To fighters like Chun-Li, Ken Masters, Sagat, Dhalsim, and Ryu.



You have been cordially invited to compete in this year’s King of Fighters tournament.  While the rules for the most part have remained the same.  We have extended the invitation to many more competitors this year.  Many of which who have never had the honor of competiting in this event.  To that end we are announcing a randomized draft for teams lacking a member, or individuals lacking a team.  People will be assigned either to fill a team’s spot or put together to form a team.
 
Best of luck to all those entered.

(The crux of the RP is in a mix hopefully of canon characters from both the King of Fighters world and the Street Fighter world. Canon, legacy (son/daughter of established characters), and OCs are all accepted.  If you can't assemble your team through the OOC and sign ups.  Your character will be either put with two other random characters or into a team missing a member.  The RP itself is story driven and outside of sparring or fights away from the tournament RPer vs RPer fights will be saved for later on in the RP.)

~~~~

Full name: Rock Howard
Team: Team Garou
Discipline: A mix of different martial arts taught to him by legendary fighter Terry Bogard.  A combination boxing, karate, kickboxing, kung fu, and street fighting.  Along with some training in the chi technique of Hakkyokuseiken.  He also instinctively uses Kobujutsu moves derived from his father, Geese Howard.
Age: 20
Home: South Town, USA
Appearance: 
Brief bio: Rock was the bastard child of Geese Howard and a woman who was his secretary at the time of his conception.  Rock never knew his father as he never his father, who was a savage businessman with ties to many illegal operations.  Rock always had dreams and ideas in his own head of what Geese was like.  However the truth reared its very ugly head when Rock's mother contracted a rare disease and Rock found a way to get to Geese.  Where meeting his father for the first time Rock begged and pleaded for help.  Rock however finally first hand witness his father's cruel nature as he was not only dismissed even after being told such a thing.  He took it all more as an annoyance than anything serious.  From that day forth Rock never wanted to acknowledge his father again.

As Rock was put into a foster home following the death of his mother.  Rock first saw a man named Terry Bogard when he saw the fighter get ganged up on by multiple people before taking all of them down with ease.  Terry and Rock spoke for a bit afterwards.  Rock learning about how Terry's father was killed at the hands of Geese, and he had returned to South Town after years away for payback alongside his younger brother Andy.  It all culminated from the top of Geese's private tower, where after a fight Terry tried to help save Geese from falling to his death.  Only for Geese to purposely let go, falling countless stories to his death.  

A strange feeling of loneliness and relief overwhelmed Rock as soon after Terry adopted Rock.  Getting an apartment time was split with the two either living and working odd jobs around town, and traveling the world for new fights and challenges.  During this and meeting Kim Kaphwan, a long time friendly rival of Terry's, that Rock met Kim's two kids, Kim Jae Hoon and Kim Dong Hwan.  The both of whom Rock became good friends with.  These days Rock still lives with Terry, having recently unearthed information about his father's obituary that could cause him, and especially Terry, a lot of problems.

Full name: Kim Jae Hoon
Team: Team Garou
Discipline: Tae Kwon Do
Age: 20
Home: South Korea
Appearance: 
Brief bio: Jae Hoon's father is simply one of, if not the biggest icon in South Korea.  Kim Kaphwan, ambassador of the tae kwon do disciple, and a hero against all of evil.  Known just as much for disciplining villainous characters to be on the side of good.  Kim Kaphwan's hatred of evil was one of his biggest driving forces.

Kim Jae Hoon grew up well aware of the legacy his father had in his homeland.  As he grew up though, Jae Hoon showed a drive in learning from his father that Kaphwan had only seen in himself.  In fact it could be said that Jae Hoon shares a lot of his father's traits.  A powerful sense of good and evil, disciplined, and surprisingly charismatic.  In fact his growing skills and nature with the people of his homeland have earned him his own notably sized fan club with young girls filling the ranks.

Things aren't completely perfect though, while Jae Hoon has shown a lot of qualities his father has looked for.  Jae Hoon's brother Dong Hwan seemed almost a complete opposite. Cocky, and can even be considered lazy.  Dong Hwan is still just as capable in tae kwon do as his brother though, and Jae Hoon still loves him all the same.  However before the KOF tournament was to start, Dong Hwan was trying to impress a group of girls with his skills.  Even though Jae Hoon warned him to stretch first, Dong Hwan ignored his advice.  Only to end up pulling a muscle in his inner thigh that has left him unable to fight.

Nope, little bit older game but it may have played the same way. I vaguely remember another game like it that had Venom...

EDIT: Though wikipedia says it's the same game..?!? So IDK, but this was the same pic on the cartridge LOL

~KL~@The Kid Lantern

It was, different name but same game essentially with god awful to the point of awesome music, god awful to the point of awesome cutscenes, and I think one or two new stages.

SPEAKING OF CUTSCENES!

Oh, Sega Genesis.  My first console.  Sonic, Vector-man.  Good times.  We had the Spider-Man and the X-Men game where you fought Arcade.

I have a Ms. Marvel post almost done.  But I wanted to ask @Sep what he was planning for AIM in his Captain America (and Avengers) arc.  Don't want to step on any toes.@Dedonus

Oh GOD that Spider-Man and The X-Men game.  Just... Christ no wonder I've always hated Arcade.
