Re: Generic Fighting Game Universe

 

Background: Jiro is the grandson of Harada Jo, the CEO and (let's face it) owner of Shinra Corporation, one of the mega corporations of FGU Earth. The Harada family is one of the most powerful independant criminal organizations in the world. They have their fingers in all manner of corrupt businesses all funneled and laundered through the megacorp's tremendous legitimate businesses. Jiro is a loose cannon. He wants to succed his grandfather and is more than willing to eliminate anyone in his wake. Including his father.

 

Personality/Motivation: Spoiled rich kid with power. Not only that but his power is political, social, financial, and physical. He's practically untouchable and in many circles, his word is law. He has few friends as he sees no need for them. He does have possessions though, an accountant here, a driver there, a thief, a number of beautiful playthings. His "bodyguards", identical twin chinese women trained as Lin Kuei, generally weed out those not worthy of his attention. He enjoys a good fight, but it's not a good idea to defeat him.

 

Quote: "So pretty, so wasted."

'FEEL THE HAND OF GOD!"

 

Powers/Tactics: Jiro is pretty straight forward in a fight. He begins by sticking to his regular martial arts maneuvers, but will break out the mastery skills if he feels threatened or wants to show off. He saves the Hand of God for anyone who gives him too good of fight. It's a punnishing maneuver that can hit several foes should they be in single file. It should also be noted that the 19 END from the God Hand comes from each his Rage End Reserve and his Personal Endurance. So he can't use it too often in a fight.

 

Campaign Use: Jiro is a low level "boss" style villain. He could be the organizer of a tournament to prove his strength, or (more likely) a fellow contestant in the Heaven's Gate Tournament put on annually by his grandfather. He's a decent hunted and someone for new groups of players to cut their teeth on.

 

Appearance: Stylish japanese youth in his early 20's. He wears personalized suits and casual wear. He has brown hair and brown eyes. His eyes glow red when he is using the "God Hand".

Re: Generic Fighting Game Universe

 

So, am I the only one who interprets "his eyes glow red when he is using his god hand" in sexual terms?

[Enforcer84]

Re: Generic Fighting Game Universe

 

Probably not after people read that. Thanks Oddhat

Re: Generic Fighting Game Universe

 

Oddly enough, Oddhat's God Hand reference reminds me of this...

 

 

Regardless, looks good on the Heaven's Gate Tournament entry.

Background/History: Once a member of the "Dark Tarot" wrestling stable; Geoffrey Hightower left the "sport" on top. He was both World Champion and one half of the Tag Team Champions; but Geoff was a sensitive soul. He didn't like being a Heel. He was big and scary looking, but at the height of his success he was also a young man who wanted to be liked. Wrestling Federations at this time weren't quite as enamored with the "Anti-Hero" cool as they are now and Geoff took his leave of the sport and went back to school. He got a business degree and invested his wrestling winnings wisely. He may have never again set foot in the arenas if it hadn't been for a chance meeting with a former friend from the old Federation. Dynamite Dan, a popular "Face" who had left the scripted world behind to test himself against real fighters came to Geoff for business advice. Dan had made a fair amount of coin on "True Fighting" and other shoot fighting organizations. Geoff, now out of the fight game for some time, was eager to help his friend and when Dan suggested he come to his next fight, Geoff jumped at the chance.

This particular match was one for of the seedier circuits, though it catered to wealthy clientele; it was kept deliberately grungy and "underground" in feel. Geoff got into the fighting pretty quickly; he enjoyed the contrasting styles, the fast bouts, the fact that there was not designated hero or villain, just two warriors who fought for the chance to win the championship. Dan's fight was the highlight. He was fighting a well built Chinese man who seemed to be using a kung fu style. Geoff was worried for his friend, but Dan seemed to more than hold his own. He was bigger and stronger and seemingly just as fast. The other fighter gave some good shots, including a somersaulting kick that struck with the sound of thunder and a flash of bright light. But Dan was able to withstand the blow and finished the man with a variation of his wrestling finisher, the TNT Suplex.

After the fight Geoff and Dan had dinner and were walking back to Dan's car in the parking garage. As Dan was unlocking the car, they heard a deep, sinister voice calling to them. Stepping out of the shadows was a tall, ruggedly built man in black wearing a black wrestler’s mask. He was taller than Dan but still dwarfed by Geoff, behind him were six or seven heavy weight thugs.

"You fought well tonight, Dynamite."

"Thanks, who are you?" Dan cast a glance to Geoff and the large man nodded. It had been a while, but he'd kept himself in shape.

"You can call me the Black Baron," The man said. Then he motioned his hand and the thugs began advancing.

Dan and Geoff made short work of them but Geoff was breathing heavily, he'd kept in shape but not fighting shape. He'd not been injured but he was sucking wind pretty bad.

"You are as good as they told me. It will be a pleasure to defeat you, Dynamite Dan."

Dan, who wasn't even breathing hard, smiled back. "Sure, sure, let's get this over with 'Baron'."

With that, Dan launched himself at the larger man. The fight seemed pretty one sided, with Dan getting in a number of his trademarked shots and special maneuvers. Geoff was recovering nicely from his efforts when Geoff was locking the Black Baron into position for his TNT Suplex. That's when things went tragically wrong. The Baron with ridiculous ease muscled out of the hold and tossed Dan to the floor.

"That's the extent of your abilities? This was not what I expected at all."

Dan, looking angry and a bit surprised, snarled and stepped in with a short punch. The Baron caught the blow in his hand and forced Dan's arm to his side. Then the large masked man grabbed Dan's throat and tossed him like a rag doll across the parking garage. Geoff started to advance, but he saw Dan get up and wave him off. Dan kicked the Baron in the gut and smashed his forearm on the man's head. The Baron simply grabbed Dan's waist and hoisted him into the air. It all happened so fast Geoff could barely react. The Black Baron caught Dan while the smaller fighter was in the air and brought his opponent crashing down on the concrete. Geoff slammed into the Baron and knocked him away but it felt like he'd slammed into a vault. He looked down at Dan and noticed that he was breathing shallowly, but his body was contorted in an unhealthy heap. Then Geoff turned to the Black Clad fighter and roared as he charged. The fight was only seconds and Geoff was laid out. He woke up in the hospital. Dan had died from his injuries.

 

Geoff joined the underground circuits the next afternoon. His large size and physical might carried him as he shook off the rust. He met a few other wrestlers who pointed him to a few trainers who were skilled at transforming the showbiz art to a true fighting style. To this day he seeks the Black Baron to avenge Dan's death. Geoff has faced the Baron three times since that fateful night and each fight has ended in a draw. It seems the Baron found the great opponent he was looking for, and now isn't so sure he wished for the right thing.

 

Personality/Motivation: The Tower fights to keep in tune for his eventual final battle with the Black Baron. However, in the years that have passed, he has gotten past the obsessed Seeker of Vengance stage and moved more into a protective, good guy role. He likes to help those in need; and hates to see bullies or brutes pick on the meek.

 

Quote: "It's a long way to fall small fry."

 

Powers/Tactics: A brick, pure and simple. He is just a huge man with an outrageous physique. He has developed a series of special maneuvers based around his size, strength, and wrestling skill. The Raging Rampart is simply a ch'i enhanced punch. Tower holds the victim up and a green-white light gathers at his fist as he draws back for the hit. The strike produces a small explosion and the sound of thunder as it lands.

 

Campaign Use: A helper who can mop up mooks for miles or trade shots with other giants while your characters are battling bosses. He can train younger wreslters and give information on the Black Baron and his gang. He's also quite brilliant with business and can aid PC's with financial questions and dealings. He can reach the top of any shelf.

 

Appearance: Gigantic man with long red hair pulled back in a pony tail and green eyes. He wears a neatly trimmed beard at times but just as often goes clean shaven. His fighting gear is a white and blue version of his old Dark Tarot costume, a white muscle shirt with blue piping at the neck and shoulders, a "Rook" chess piece over his heart, a broad blue belt and white wrestling tights with a blue stripe on the left side. His boots are black. (The original costume was black with white trim). He also wears a custom made leather duster, white with blue trim and a blue rook on the back. When at his 'real job' he wears specially tailored, black suits with gray pinstripes.

The Black Rose Society

An eastern European assassins order. The Society began in 1745 and originally counted four members; one of whom was rumored to be a mongolian master of hand to hand combat. The society grew slowly because they had no desire for fame or fortune. This changed in 1922 when a German, named Melchor Engel took the Society over and began taking credit for the work they did. The "Black Rose of Europe" was his name and even after his death in 1943 he was something of a celebrated scoundrel. The Society slowly became known it also began to grow. It's best agents are well known in certain circles and (as oft happens in the GFGU) often take part in various fighting contests or have rivalries with law enforcement agents or other assassins. The Society has no racial or gender requirements, but those inducted into it are trained in both ranged and hand to hand combat arts designed or refined by the masters of the Society.

 

Currently there are three well known members of the society.

Christian Engel (said to be the illegitmate child of Melchor), also known as the Blood Rose Angel.

Elize D'Ambrose the Pale Rose. An albinoid french woman with a penchant for diamonds.

Jian Kurtz, a German/Chinese man who is generally known as the Black Wolf.

Professional Wrestling

 

No fighting game is entirely complete without some steroid abusing gigantic man claiming to be a Pro Wrestler. Occasionally, a smaller "luchador" or a female will bear the mantle. But in Fighting Game Worlds, is American Professional wrestling the admiteddly staged crapfest we've seen it fall to? Is it a true form of ritualized battle like so many of the Street Fighting tournaments?

Well, it's a little of both.

In the GFGU fighting is very popular. There are Ultimate Fighting Leagues, Professional Wrestling Associations/Federations, Full Contact leagues and such. Most are actually legitimate, however once they become popular television, the fix creeps in. The popular fighters (Fighters we love and fighters we "Love to Hate") get the best matches and venues, marketing the fighters gets important and then matches get thrown.

Most of the "true" fighters tend to gravitate to "Ultimate Fighting" or "Shoot Fighting" leagues or the various invitation tournaments; the Professional Wrestling Federations have slowly evolved into showmanship over actual combat; two hour TV events often contain 45 minutes to an hour of scripted speeches & "Heat"; antics and titilation with matches that last 3 minutes. The athletes in the various Federations are there generally for three reasons 1) They suffered injuries or have aged beyond their ability to truely fight but still need to collect a paycheck, 2) they are young and don't really know the ropes, or 3) They have better "mic" skills than fighting skills.

 

However, the "Pro Wrestling Style" is a true and varied combat style, one combining grappling, some strikes, throws, and high impact maneuvers. Most grapplers who end up in the various independant "All Styles" tournaments are men and women eager to prove themselves. Some fighters (not just wrestlers) join Pro Wrestling Outfits to earn cash during down times, these men and women tend to "take it easy" and use their time to keep active but possibly heal from injuries sustained fighting. Though occasionally this proves a bad idea as injuries happen in the ring all the time...

When you move to the big city and find that you're not the biggest you have to get mean to survive. Chris Durant got very mean. He worked his way up the criminal ladder for a few years before he finally tired of all the greed, the backstabbing, and the needless violence. He'd been content to be a bully, someone who got differntial treatment just for being a tough guy. In real criminal gangs, he found himself hurting people who couldn't defend themselves. At this point he only looked forward to the days when some fellow thug would challenge him; his reputation for violence led to a few confrontations.

Finally, Chris was arrested. The charge was man slaughter.

In prison, Chris found a guru. An older japanese man, reputed to be a member of the Yakuza, sensed in Chris something more than a mere bully and crimnal. The older man approached Chris and, after a few brush offs, they began to talk regularly. The "Old Man" taught Chris the basics of meditation and aikido. When Chris got out of the Big House, he had a name for a master of Aikijutsu to continue his learning.

His "friends" from the gang weren't happy with his decision to go straight; but after a few visits from "the boys" ended in inconclusive beatings for both sides his old boss simply decided to let it be; providing Chris got out of town and promised never to return. He did. Now he travels wherever the wind takes him; puting his skills to use helping people to atone for the damage he did back in the city. Personality/Motivation: Repentant for his past days as a bully and thug, Chris now seeks to help people out when he can. This can be anything from manual labor for a family in a hard spot to using his combat skills to protect an individual or group.

Over the last few years Chris has become to enjoy his role as Knight Errant. Quote: "I think I can help"Powers/Tactics: Though his skills with Aikido are well developed, he sometimes slips back to his older, wilder form of fighting. Chris generally begins the fight defensively, trying to disable his opponent and control the action. He'll switch to trading blows and being a "Tough Guy" if he feels a) that's more effective, or he gets really angry. Campaign Use: NPC that can fight pc's in the mistaken belief that they are harming someone or an ally should they find themselves in need of one. Appearance: Strong man with blonde hair, scruffy beard, brown eyes, and a slightly haunted look about him. Chris dresses in slightly dated fashions.

He was born in Lyon, and his obsessions with Lions comes from his father's tales of his days as a big game hunter. As Leon fell into criminal persuits he wanted something that set him apart. He began studying savate early and has been traveling the world to test his skills. Personality/Motivation: A lecherous, vain, and self absorbed man, Leon has no empathy for anyone other than himself. He's cocky and easily provoked to violence. He's trying to get in roads into the Black Rose Society, but thus far he's only been kept at arms length. It frustrates him and he's bound to react violently to rejection. Quote: "Heh. I can't believe you think you could beat me." Powers/Tactics: He's got a small arsenal of specialized kicks, has tapped into his inner strength to produce the Thunder/Lightning effects. He calls them his Roar and Thunderclaw. Leon fights aggressively, using his kick arsenal to keep his opponents off their balance. Campaign Use: A fighter with upper level power. Leon should be a challenge to a few newbie fighters of a single experienced one. Appearance: A short man with a gymnasts build. He often takes his shirt off to fight so that the ladies can see his handsome body. Leon wears his blonde hair very long often in a pony tail. His costumes often have either a lion theme or at least lion themed jewelry (tie pin, ring, cufflinks, etc.)

He is an American success story, and is generally considered the Antithesis of Cedric Foster, an equally talented champion who sold his soul to the Mob and was kicked out of boxing.

Loius reigned for about five years, becoming the undisputed champion by holding all three major belts. He then left to find and challenge the World Warriors, in the Street Fighting Circuit. He hopes to fight those who took the art of Boxing to the streets and became warriors, especially Foster. Early in his career the Mob tried to get him to throw a fight he wouldn't. They sent some legbreakers after him, he sent them to the hospital.

Then they tried to sick the IRS after him by making some phoney payoffs. This almost worked, yet he still came out clean. There are elements in IRS who still feel he's a fraud and they have kept tabs on him. Personality/Motivation: Overconfident but a genuinely good man. Firebird was a paragon of virtue in a corrupt sport. He almost glows with an inner light by comparison. He turned his Boxing fortune into a business empire and still maintians close contact to his roots. Quote: "Let's have a good clean fight, okay?"

"Is that all you got?"

Powers/Tactics: Firebird Johnson is a little on the light side for a Heavy Weight Champion. He wasn't a puncher, he is a classically trained boxer. However, his strength should not be underestimated. He was known for his ability to take punishment when he fought in the ring and that has carried over to his non-sanctioned bouts. His "Sweet Science" abilities have been learned over the years and he generally saves them for the toughest opponents as they can be quite brutal. Campaign Use: Louis Johnson can serve as an ally, a mentor, a financier, a sponsor, or an antagonist. Appearance: An attractive man with a chisled physique, Louis shaves his head, but wears a goatee. He dresses well as befiting a champion. He favors monochrome suits, often with matching trenchcoats. He wears expensive, but tasteful jewelry. He has a red and gold firebird (aztec styled) tattooed on his back.

Okay, I'll ask for a little help. I am probably going to have like 50,000 "ninja" clans for this world. COuld use some nice demonstrative names for some of these clans. Anybody use home brewed ninja?

Hmm. I really don't, but I can think of some.

 

The Yamaguchi-gumi and Inagawa-kai are two of Japans most famous Yakuza families. You can swap in any Japanese family name you'd like, then add -gumi or -kai to the end, and it will sound gangish.

 

Almost any Japanese family name + the word "clan" at the end will sound OK as a ninja clan. God's names sound good a well. So, Izanami Clan, Izanami - Kai, and Izanami - Gumi all sound interesting.

 

The seven Japanese gods of luck are:

 

Benten

 

Goddess of luck, love, eloquence, wisdom and the fine arts.

 

Bishamon

 

War god.

 

Daikoku

 

Wealth and farming. Big fat dude.

 

Ebisu

 

Fishermen and fishing.

 

Fukurokuju

 

Wisdom, good luck and longevity.

 

Hotei

 

Wealth and hapiness. Sometimes travels in a cart drawn by (presumably happy) children.

 

Jurojin

 

Longevity and happiness.

 

You could add "Clan" to the end of their names and have strangely happy Ninjas. And we all like happy, fluffy ninjas, in their pink bunny suits and iron carrot daggers.

 

Saw Kong last night, so I'm on zero sleep right now. Please note that anything I type may consist of random words strung sklahfj alhf;a kd,a

 

OK.

I guess you could use the old dodge of a color with an animal.

 

Yellow Scorpions, White Tigers, Green Butterflies.

 

Place names like Naruto.

 

Tokyo chonin.

 

Maybe named after special moves

 

The Iron Fist, The Sword of Sinanju.

 

Or maybe a combination of the above.

 

The Tokyo White Tiger Iron Fists.
