Midnight Championship Wrestling (Wrestlers Wanted!)

[Crash]

Premise

Malcom Cane has reached an agreement with Elliquiy Entertainment Network to air his new wrestling federation, Midnight Championship Wrestling. MCW is branded as raw, violent and sexy, able to push boundaries that other basic cable wrestling programs cannot.  Malcom Cane has been combing the smaller wrestling federations looking for new talent to build his Midnight Wrestling brand. Midnight Championship Wrestling has promised a block buster opening night like nothing wrestling fans have ever seen. 

MCW Wrestling follows its wrestlers inside the ring and out.  There are cameras everywhere (including the showers) so as soon as the wrestlers are in the studio or at the arena they are on camera.  Cane Enterprises pays there wrestlers very well for this.  Along with the usual wrestling stipulations and matches, MCW specializes in erotica too.  Bondage themed matches, matches with sex toys in play, full on backstage gang bangs, they are all possible and encouraged be management.  Malcom Cane keeps match booking varied and leaves a lot of the titillating match stipulations for the pay-per-views.

(OOC: If you do not wish your character to be booked in these matches that is fine, let me know.)

There are two shows during the week  MCW Unleashed and MCW Nightmare.  MCW Unleashed is the flag ship show.  It has more of your typical wrestling fair ranging from PG to softcore content depending on what is going on backstage or how good ratings have been in the preceding weeks.  The Unleashed set is bright with reds and golds dominating.  Pyrotechnics are in abundance and the entire production screams uptempo and furious energy.  MCW Nightmare is more hardcore in both its wrestling and erotic content.  Purple, blue and silver are the dominant colors and the lighting focused more on the ring, giving it a dark and ominous feel.  Pyrotechnics are more muted and thematic.  Grim determination and survival are the themes Nightmare employs.

The Game and the Rules

I will be using the World Wide Wrestling RPG rules system which is based off of the Apocalypse Engine.  It is a very rules light system and should not get in the way of the narrative which is the most important part.  I have included a link to the free beta rules at the end of this post.  Creating a wrestler is simple, just pick a template and fill it in, making any necessary choices. 

There should only be one person per template to start with.  You will be able to add wrestlers later or choose new gimmick templates for your wrestler as they evolve and grow.

Match Booking will be Creative's responsibility.  You will not know the outcome of your match to start only I will.  I will be fair and listen to the players input into their feud.  Certain gimmicks also have the ability to serve my booking and change it.  Be prepared as a player to win and lose and to be screwed out of a win or have a run-in happen in your match.  These surprises should be fun, so be away that they will happen.

Matches start out with one player in control (notice I said player and not wrestler).  This player is the one that posts.  The player should post all aspects of the match in their post.  Yes this is god-moding, but necessary to keep the flow.  Remember to make your opponent look as good as you make your wrestler.  If you do not I reserve the right to have you loose the match and possibly kicked from the game if players grief (anything sexual will have to be approved by the player of the character having the act preformed on them).  At the end of your post you will make a roll based on the move you are trying to pull off (a list of moves will be provided with their required roll).  You can have your wrestler make many wrestling moves in your post, but only one roll will be made at the end of your post. 

This roll will often allow you to maintain in control of the match, which means you will make another post.  It often gives you the opportunity to pass control onto your opponent in which case they will post.  Often you will get a bonus for doing either, so don't be afraid to pass control and let the other player write.

Things that are important to your character

Move Rolls:  Move rolls are 2d6 + Stat.  The stat is listed with each move in your template.

Basic Moves
Role Moves

Momentum:  Momentum can be used on a one for one basis to give you a bonus to any roll you make.  It resets after every show.

Heat:  A score representing how engaging a wrestler's relationship with another character is to the audience. Ranges from 0 to +4. Whenever you work a match with a character you have +4 Heat with, gain +1 Audience.  You lose one heat with each wrestler that you do not interact with during a show.

Audience: The rating of how popular a wrestling character is. Both player's wrestlers and NPWs have an Audience score, rated from 0 to +4.  If your Audience is 0 at the end of the show you are fired.  If you Audience is +4 you gain an Advance and the OVER move.  All other wrestlers at +4 Audience drop to +3 Audience.

Advance: Gain an Advance when...

Your Audience hits +4 or 0 the first time in an Episode, you gain a Championship Belt or you end a feud satisfactorily.

FINISHING MOVE: <Describe finishing move>
When you’re booked to win a match, roll 2d6: On a 10+, you hit your Finisher clean. Choose whether you or your opponent gains +1 Audience. On a 7-9, they obviously stall for you to hit it. Choose: they’re making you look bad, gain +1 Heat with them; ham it up along with them, you both gain +1 Momentum.

COMIC RELIEF: When you insert yourself into a tense situation, on or off-camera, roll +real . On a 10+ it’s perfectly timed, pick 2; on a 7-9, pick 1: take +2 Momentum, add or remove a stipulation to a match, gain a concession you’ve wanted, gain +1 Heat with someone.

FUNNY IS MONEY: Take +1 look  (max +3). You can still Work the Audience even if you’ve botched it earlier.

FINISHING MOVE: <Describe finishing move>
When you’re booked to win a match, roll 2d6: On a 10+, you hit your Finisher clean. You and your opponent each gain +1 Audience. On a 7-9, they make you work for it. Choose: you have to put them in a real stiff hold, gain +1 Heat with them; or you let them get some licks in first, and you each gain 1 Momentum. On a botch, you still get the win, but pick one: it’s sloppy and you lose -1 Audience; crank the hold in and injure your opponent.

YOU GOTTA GO THROUGH ME: When your ally is booked in a match, you may declare that their opponent must face you first, or that you must get added to the match in some manner. Creative decides the details, but cannot deny you this demand.

STRONG RIGHT HAND: When you and your ally are in the same segment, you can use their +look and +real stats instead of your own for any Move you make. If you botch a roll while doing this, you both lose -1 Heat with each other.

LOYAL WORKER: When you go to the boss with a great idea, roll +real . On a 10+ they go for it and you get the credit, gain +2 Momentum. On a 7-9 they go for it but you don’t get the credit, take +1 Heat with whoever does. Either way, you get to set up the relevant segment or match. On a botch, you overstepped your bounds and get dressed down on camera. Choose whether you lose -1 Audience, or all Heat with your ally.

NOWHERE ELSE TO GO: You don’t have many career options, so you do what you’re told. Change Role (Heel to Babyface or vice versa) whenever Creative demands it. Ignore the normal Heat modifier. Instead, choose whether you gain +1 Heat with your next opponent, or +2 Momentum. When you take an Advanced Role, you can tell Creative to go screw, and pick another move from your current Gimmick to replace this one. This Move applies to you regardless of Gimmick until you replace it.

FINISHING MOVE: <Describe finishing move>
When you’re booked to win a match, roll 2d6: On a 10+, you hit your Finisher clean. Choose whether your or your opponent gains +1 Audience. On a 7-9, they make you work for it. Choose: you get the win through guile instead, gain +1 Heat with them; or they help you play up your unique approach, and you each gain 1 Momentum.

Take +1 Momentum when you make your appearance. 

MIND GAMES: When you engage in bizarre, outlandish or mysterious behavior to psych someone out, roll +look. On a 10+ pick 2, on a 7-9 pick 1: you gain control (of the situation, or of the match); gain +1 Heat with them; they gain +1 Heat with you; take +1 Momentum. On a botch, it reads as silly, lose all Momentum.

“STRANGELY CAPTIVATING”: When you’re the sole focus of a segment, roll +look instead of +real .

PLAY TO THE CROWD: When you use your gimmick to highlight, address or confront a real issue real people have in their lives, roll +real. On a 10+ you nail it, gain +1 Audience.

On a botch, you completely mishandle it. Lose -1 Audience and you get booked in a punitive match.

On a botch, choose: your effort is hilariously obvious, losing you -1 Audience (though your client still wins the match); or the ref tosses you out of the match and DQs your client. The results of this Move overrides Creative’s booking.

MOUTHPIECE: When you speak for your Client, they can roll on your stat instead of theirs for any Move they would normally make. (If your client is an NPW: Gain +1 Momentum whenever you speak for your client.)

Pick 1 of the following:

“ALWAYS HAS A PLAN”: +1 Look (Max +3).

PUT OVER: When you show vulnerability to an opponent in the ring in order to make them look good, roll +Work. On a 10+, you both gain +1 Audience. On a 7-9, one of you gains +1 Audience and the other loses -1 Audience, your opponents choice. On a botch, you lose -1 Audience and your opponent resents you for your pandering.

BRAIN FOR THE BUSINESS: +1 Real (Max +3)

LOYAL:  When  you  take  action  in  your  client’s  best interests,  roll +look . On a 10+ pick 2, on a 7-9 pick one: gain +1 Momentum; overturn a decision made against your client; gain +1 Heat with your client; add a stipulation to your client’s upcoming match. On a botch, you’re obviously faking it, lose -1 Heat with your client.

BACKSTAGE POLITICS: When you cut a deal backstage (on or off camera), roll +real. On a 10+, take +2 Momentum and set up any segment you want later in the show. On a 7-9, you set up a segment later in the show, but pick one: it’s a match your client does not want to have; it places you or your client in an embarrassing situation; it demonstrates how much better someone else is than
you.  On a botch, Creative picks two.

Advanced Role: None

Hails From: Mean Streets of Detroit, Michigan

Entrance: Bulls on Parade by Rage Against the Machine, Gritty looking montage

Personality:  Unpredictable, manipulative and brutal.  Mace has no time for authority telling him what to do.  No one tells Mace what to do.  He is not at all above using underhanded tactics to get ahead as the only goal is to be the top dog, nothing else matters. Life on the streets at a young age made Mace a survivor.  He earned the nickname the Highland Park Strangler in illegal cage fights where he nearly killed a guy with a choke hold.  Mace's time at Can-Am gave him enough discipline to keep him out of jail and a sense of direction for the first time in his life.  That said the street tough is still there and he brings that with him to the ring night in and night out.

Background: Raising on the mean streets of Highland Park in Detroit, Michigan, Mace has run a foul of the law many throughout his youth.  It grew up fighting and was saved from a life in jail by joining CAN-AM Wrestling school.  The streets of Highland Park taught Mace to survive and thrive in a dog eat dog world where being strong wasn't enough.  You had to be smart and tough.  He has been shoot, stabbed, beaten and still he comes out on top.  A true predator on the streets and in the ring.  Mace's wrestling style is brutal, a combination of overwhelming strikes and crippling holds meant to tear down his opponents mentally and physically.  Seen as unpredictable and violent by other wrestling organizations Mace was snatched up by MCW and signed quickly knowing that his attitude and skill would put him in line for a title right away.  Now can Malcom Cane keep the angry pitbull on a tight lease or will his vicious animal get loose and reek havoc on his organization.  Either way it will make for good ratings.

Hails From: Santa Cruz, California

Entrance: Wipe Out by The Surfaris

Appearance: See Image

Personality & Background:  Johnny Smooth and Kid Kruze make up the tag team the Suicide Blondes along with Kid’s kid sister Betty.  They came up through All Pro Wrestling together.  The two friends have always been a tag team and that sort of experience is why they are so damn good at what they do.  The three surfers grew up in Santa Cruz and have been surfers all their life and they have translated the skills in the water to the wrestling mat to surprising effect.

As laid back as they look the tag team has made a name for themselves as hardcore wrestlers in many a surfboard, ladders and chairs match, their own personal take on the traditional tables, ladders and chairs.  While a fan favorite the tag team is not above using an unfair advantage to gain the upper hand particularly if it gets a good laugh from the crowd. Their goal is to make it to the top of the MCW tag team division and have a good time doing it.

[Foxy DeVille]

Name: "The Farmer's Daughter" Daisy Holiday
Gimmick: The Clown
Role: Babyface

BABYFACE: When you stand up for something you believe in, spend 2 Momentum and pick 1 of the following:
⚪ gain +1 Heat with your opponent
⚪ leave your opponent speechless
⚪ make Creative book you in a match
⚪ add a stipulation to a match

Advanced Role: None

Hails From: Sunny Side, Georgia

Entrance: "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" by Trace Adkins

Appearance: Daisy stands 5' 9" tall and weighs in at 139 lbs. She dresses like the sexy country gal she is and wrestles barefoot.

Personality & Background: Marley Hopkins (Daisy's real name) is a native of Sunny Side, her family has farmed there for generations. Following a particularly hot and dry things became tough and they never really regained their footing. Marley was popular in high school, being quite pretty and always up for a good time. Her status as head cheerleader made the athletes especially fond of her. She hoped to got to college but her mediocre grades thanks to her preference for pot smoking over studying made that unlikely. Instead she found herself working tables at a local diner when not helping out on the family farm. Many of her friends had left Sunny Side for school and those who stayed seem to be at a dead end like her. Marley started to wonder if she was going to be stuck in the drudgery of doing the same thing every day just to barely make ends meet. She need more but her options were limited. Luckily a family friend was a retired wrestler willing to train her for a reduced rate. With nothing else to do Marley decided to go for it and discovered she had a knack for wrestling.

Being cute and fit, Marley definitely had the girl-next-door look down that many fans would like. Pondering on what to call herself, Marley decided on the first name "Daisy" after Daisy Duke. That would tie into her country girl image. The last name "Holiday" came from the Holiday Inn, the place where she lost her virginity at sixteen to the varsity quarterback after the homecoming game. That would be a reminder of when she was young and innocent, the image she wanted to give people watching her. With her pseudonym decided, Daisy Holiday hit the indies. She played up her naive hayseed gimmick, getting laughs from the crowd even if she didn't win a lot of matches. Her outgoing and flirty personality got her a spot on the Midnight Championship Wrestling roster at only nineteen years old. Daisy has decided she would be willing to do anything in order to increase her appeal. Now she had fooled around with her share of football players back in high school but horny teenage boys don't exactly provide a wealth of experiences for some of the things MCW has in mind. Still Daisy has to give it all a try in order to maximize her income. Then after a few years of saving her money she could help out her family and maybe start her own business, like a fitness studio. Now time will tell if Daisy Holiday will really become a star or just a forgotten wannabe.

Choose: they’re making you look bad, gain +1 Heat with them; ham it up along with them, you both gain +1 Momentum. On a botch, you still get the win, but pick one: it’s so nonsensical that you lose -1 Audience; or your opponent refuses to sell it, lose -1 Heat with each other (if you have any to lose).

Feel free to ask any questions here.

[kckolbe]

If I go with Jobber, am I actually guaranteed to lose against everyone but non-NPW Jobbers?

[Crash]

Kc - Yep until you change gimmicks, but that will probably take a little while. 

I am surprise, you are the second player to express interest in the Jobber gimmick.  If you don't want to lose your matches it is probably best not to submit for The Jobber.

[Laughing Hyena]

Some people want to start at the bottom and rise to the top. I share that sentiment.  If he wants it, I'll give it up. ^_^

[Crash]

Not a complaint, just surprised.

[kckolbe]

I was actually thinking of a char that started in the middle and was currently near the bottom.  Not at all fleshed out, but I was thinking of a former tag team member who enjoyed limited success with his partner (amateur tag team champs?) and then had a falling out after one or two failed runs at success.  After the tag team fell apart, my char struggled to get wins while the ex-partner (a Golden Boy?) actually did better.

My character would be in that past his prime but still viable category.  I see him as a heel.  Maybe a Technician?

[Crash]

Most of the templates would work with that idea KC. Technician certainly is one of them.

Jesus Christ we DO think alike. Better background than mine as well. Anyway I'll change my character to not be a jobber so it frees him up. I'll pick technician (or something else). I intended to play something of a Henning or a Hart so I got no problems with bumping up.  ^_^

[Crash]

Make sure you both are picking something different is all I ask.

[kckolbe]

I have a feeling Hyena and I will be bouncing ideas off each other and making sure it isn't the same thing.  I will not be playing a Jobber, as I want the possibility of beating real wrestlers.  I was thinking of a less successful and perhaps more bitter Randy Orton.  The "Legend Killer" thing he started in the mid 2000's (when I actually followed it) really resonated. 

I want someone who can win, but all in all seems at least a tier below where he wants to be. 

[Crash]

Most templates start at Audience 1 (Clown being one of the exceptions) so you will likely be starting on the low card, mid card tops for those with 2 Audience. 

Check out Golden Boy, Provocateur, Anti-Hero.  Those could all work.

[kckolbe]

Definitely thinking Anti-Hero.  The ability to thwart the booking is too appealing.

[Crash]

Definitely thinking Anti-Hero.  The ability to thwart the booking is too appealing.

Just use it effectively and not alllllll the time.

[Laughing Hyena]

Just use it effectively and not alllllll the time.

Sweet. Anyway I'll continue making my character if thats the case. Do I need to answer those questions in the template now or later?

[Crash]

The heat questions will be answered by other players when we start.  I want to get 3-4 wrestlers submitted before we start answering heat questions.

[Laughing Hyena]

Makes sense.

[Crash]

Post characters here when completed so others can take a look.  I am hoping to get a couple more players before we start, but I can start with three.

[kckolbe]

How do the basic moves work?  I couldn't find descriptions of any of the moves, or what the results of success for them were.

[Crash]

If you mean a wrestling move.  Those are in the In-Ring Moves section.  I have a link to them all in the first post of this thread.

Basic Moves are things like Cut a Promo, Cheap Heat, Run-In, Work the Audience...etc

In–Ring Moves

You can perform other Moves (Basic, Role and Gimmick Moves) during a match as well. Narrate how you use them and resolve them whenever you have control of the match, or to follow up an interrupt move.

WRESTLING:
When you have control of the match, you narrate the transitional sequences, working with your opponent to fill in the details.
When a sequence leads up to a big spot or key move in the ring, narrate the maneuver and roll:

If you execute a difficult, demanding or dangerous maneuver that showcases your technical wrestling ability roll +Work

If you put your opponent or yourself at legit risk by using your physical strength, roll +Power

If  you  execute  a  signature  move,  demonstrate  your  character through action or otherwise showcase your Gimmick, roll +Look

If you work with your opponent to execute an amazing and memorable sequence, roll +Heat

✶ On a 10+ you hit it great, retain control and pick one:
⚪ gain +2 Momentum
⚪ gain +1 Heat with your opponent
✶ On a 7–9 you hit it pretty well, pick one:
⚪ retain control and transition into the next sequence
⚪ give your opponent control and gain +1 Momentum
✶ On a Botch you get countered, give 1 Momentum to your oppo-
nent, and they immediately take control of the match (if you have
no Momentum, they still gain 1)

INTERRUPT:
When you cut in to take control of a match for yourself, spend 1 Momentum and narrate your interruption. You gain control of
the match and continue on with the next sequence.

WORK REAL STIFF: When you go to legit injure somebody in the ring, roll +Real
✶ On a 10+ you really lay 'em out, pick 2 from the 7–9 list
✶ On a 7–9 that sure is stiff, pick 1:
⚪ you injure your opponent
⚪ the match ends in a no–contest (this overrides Creative’s booking)
⚪ your opponent loses -1 Audience
✶ On a Botch you screw it up, and get injured as a result

[Laughing Hyena]

My guy is ready for approval. ^_^ Let me know if someone asks to collaborate with me as well. K if you wanted my jobber character to have been part of your tag team, I have no problems with that. I had it written that it was a tag team in the independent circuit that my guy was part of. How does the tag team name of Heartbreakers sound? Basically pretty boy gimmicks. ^_^

[kckolbe]

It would alter the concept slightly, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.  I'll wait until I see your sheet.  I work tonight and will be doing mine tomorrow.

Name: Patrick "Pulse" King
Gimmick: The Jobber
Role: Babyface

BABYFACE: When you stand up for something you believe in, spend 2 Momentum and pick 1 of the following:
⚪ gain +1 Heat with your opponent
⚪ leave your opponent speechless
⚪ make Creative book you in a match
⚪ add a stipulation to a match

Advanced Role: None

Hails From: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Entrance: None… He's a jobber and not worthy of it.

Appearance: Wearing the Black and Yellow trunks, Weighing in at 178 pounds and standing at 6'4"... 

Personality & Background: Patrick King didn't originally have ties to Wrestling Federations nor any lineage to speak of. He was a wide eyed child, a fan whom grew up with legends and older generations of professional wrestlers. He could have been other things in his life but he never wanted to be those things. To Patrick, pro wrestlers were the equivalent of super heroes and super villains in ways. True he had to have the illusion of wrestling being scripted first but he still kept that kind of admiration for them when he grew up. It just manifested into a more enlightened respect. Still heroes in ways to him, he understood they were effectively stuntmen coupled with stories to entertain many. He wanted to be part of that naturally.

So he sought out a wrestling school that took those whom wanted to break into the business. He bought his own equipment his own tuitions and worked the backyard and independent circuits, honing his skills from those whom would teach him. He still has a ways to go and used to be part of a tag team in the independent circuits, the stomping grounds for the Midnight Championship Wrestling Federation. One half of the Heartbreakers, he was not the breakout star of the pair and was brought up into the MCW as a jobber given a fresh coat of paint so he wouldn't have any lingering fans. Despite the setback and the role he has to play, he shall play it well and pay his dues. He is determined to rise to the top. All he needs is an opportunity to prove himself.

Patrick is stubborn in terms of sticking with the dream he has chosen for himself. Injured or not Patrick refuses to quit on something he loves which can come back to bite him. Not everyone is purely devoted to the very nature of wrestling. He is devoted not only to himself though as he is a company man, willing to do what is required for the job. He tries to keep what happens in the ring and on the job away from his personal life. Backstage, he just is looking for a simple pat on the back, and a little respect. He is self-confident and hopeful that he will catch a break from those higher up in both the card and with the bookers that he is more than just a jobber.

Gimmick Moves

DO THE JOB: You are always booked to lose your matches. When your opponent pins you for the win, roll 2d6: On a 10+, you make them look great. They gain +1 Audience. On a 7-9, you do OK. Gain +1 Momentum or +1 Heat with them, your choice. On a botch, you don’t sell it right. You both lose -1 Audience. If your opponent is another player’s wrestler, roll for this when they make their Finishing Move.

CAREER WRESTLER: If you end an Episode with Audience +3 or higher, you can change to any other Gimmick, per the
changing Gimmick rules. If you end an Episode with Audience 0, you aren’t fired - instead, your Audience is reset to +1.

Pick 1 of the following:

SYMPATHETIC: Roll +Work instead of +Audience when you make the WORK THE AUDIENCE Move.

[kckolbe]

Here's my current leaning for image.  I think he looks like enough of a vengeful asshole.  You have to imagine him as being a bit leaner than he is, but I feel like he is about right.

[Crash]

Totally works Kc.

[Crash]

Once KC gets a character in I will throw an ooc thread up and we can figure out answers to heat questions.  Hopefully we can grab a couple more people.

[kckolbe]

Name: The Huntsman
Gimmick: The Anti-Hero
Role: Heel

HEEL: When you do something underhanded to get what you want, spend 2 Momentum and pick 1 of the following:
⚪ gain +1 Heat with your opponent
⚪ win a match (this overrides Creative’s booking)
⚪ leave someone helplessly lying on the floor
⚪ get out of a match you’ve been booked in

Advanced Role: None
Hails From: Houston, Texas

Entrance: Alice in Chains - Them Bones

Appearance: As the attached picture, though a bit leaner now that he is no longer the "muscle" to complement his high-flying former partner.  He stands at 5'11", shorter than the majority of imposing figures.  He wrestles wearing tight black shorts only slightly larger than a pair of boxers.

Personality: Bitter.  Vengeful.  Proud.  The Huntsman knows that he is running out of time to make a name for himself, having spent a significant amount of time in lower leagues before getting a chance on a tag team with a much younger wrestler named Creature.  Creature had the physical skills, but held him back.  After a match in which the two were embarrassingly beaten by another team, The Huntsman reacted strongly, sucker-punching his teammate and announcing an end to the team.

Audience:
The Anti-Hero starts and resets to Audience +1.

+4 Mark an Advance. At the beginning of the Episode, make the OVER Move.
+3 Start the Episode with +2 Momentum.
+2 Start the Episode with +1 Momentum.
+1 Start the Episode with +1 Momentum.
0 Mark an Advance. At the end of the Episode, you’re fired.

TOP SPOT: When you hit +4 Audience, everyone else at +4 drops to +3. Mark an Advance the first time you hit +4 or 0 in an Episode.

Stats:
Look: 0
Power: -2
Real: +2 (Added 1)

Questions
Ask 1 question per other player (max 4 questions total). When answered, gain +1 Heat with their wrestler.

Who did I have to kick the shit out of to show how badass I am?
   
With whom do I have a reluctant alliance?

Who do I think is a slave to management?

Who wishes they were as cool as me?

Whenever you work a match with a character you have +4 Heat with, gain +1 Audience.
When you finish a feud, reset Heat to +1.

Injury: 3 Injury Boxes
When you get injured, check an Injury box, and note who did it. While injured, you can interfere in any of their matches without Creative’s approval or consent, and they gain +1 Momentum when you do so.

Gimmick Moves

FINISHING MOVE: Cage the Beast <The Huntsman maneuvers his opponent into a submission hold, pinning one of the victim's arms between his legs, holding the other behind the victims back, and placing one hand over the face to "muzzle" his opponent, waiting for the pain to force a submission>

When you’re booked to win a match, roll 2d6. On a 10+, you hit your Finisher clean. Choose whether you gain +1 Audience, or whether your opponent does. On a 7-9, they make you work for it. Chose: you win clean, and you both gain +1 Momentum, or win via countout, disqualification or interference, and gain +1 Heat with your opponent. On a botch, choose: you lose -1 Audience (but get the win) or you’re screwed out of victory by an authority figure.

RULES? WHAT RULES?: When you break the rules in a match, roll +look . On a 10+, you get away with it, book the finish of the match on the fly. On a 7-9, pick 1: you get away with it and gain +1 Momentum, or you don’t and gain +1 Heat with your opponent. On a botch you get DQed and lose the match (the results of this Move overrides Creative’s booking).

TWITCH THE CURTAIN: When you air your legit grievances, on camera, you can roll  +real  for any Moves you make outside of the ring for the rest of the Episode. At the end of the Episode, if you haven’t gained any Audience, you lose 1 Audience.

Notes

Not crazy about his name.  Also willing to hear other suggestions for songs, though I do think this one a good mix of drama and angst.  I made Creature his former partner, and am obviously willing to alter that.

[Crash]

Looks good KC.  I would try to settle on a name as soon as possible if you are not thrilled with the current one.  I will work on an ooc thread so we can figure out heat and start booking our first show.  I will leave recruitment open.  If you know anyone that might be interested in a wrestling game point them in this direction!

[kckolbe]

I wanted something antagonistic to "Creature," and am willing to stick with it, just open to suggestions.  Speaking of which, was using Creature as his former partner okay?  If so, am I free to flesh out that situation?

[Crash]

That is fine.  You can flesh out some background between the two if you want.

[Crash]

My plan is to have the roster thread and ooc up tomorrow.  I am working a night shift so I will do it when I wake up.

[Crash]

Some threads are up!

Game Threads

MCW Roster

MCW OOC

Go ahead and post your wrestler in the Roster thread and check out the OOC.

[Pink Kitten]

Are you still open? This looks like a lot of fun, I'm very tempted to join in if I can :-)

[kckolbe]

We are definitely looking for more

[Crash]

Are you still open? This looks like a lot of fun, I'm very tempted to join in if I can :-)

Absolutely.  I am working on booking our first show tonight!  Now is a perfect time to join.

I have updated the Gimmicks that have been claimed.

[Crash]

If anyone chooses The manager you get the choice of managing a PC or an NPC.

[Pink Kitten]

I'll need to think on my character a bit, and it might not be a horrible idea to actually read the system rules either :-) I'll try to get my character ready by tomorrow, but if you guys want to get the first show rolling, no need to wait - it could actually be really useful for me to see how the game actually works before I try to jump in.

I'm currently thinking of a (female) high-flying babyface, unless you feel like the roster is getting too packed with faces already?

A couple of questions though:

How does the booking go for girls? Is there a women's division, or is the whole promotion mixed-sex?
I assume we're roleplaying this from a "shoot" perspective, what with Creative (usually) deciding the outcome of matches and all? Are we supposed to keep up kayfabe outside the ring, or can, say, two characters be best friends backstage even though they're having a massive feud?
Is Mace Hunley an actual unpredictable asshole in real life, or is that just his gimmick? :-)

Sorry if I'm asking dumb questions, just wanted to be crystal clear about how I should approach this!

[Crash]

All good questions. 

Another face is okay, but you will probably be the last one for a while until we get some more heels.

Mixed wrestling.  No separate divisions.

There is a roll for breaking Kayfab.  I would prefer wrestlers mostly stay in character as heels should be heels and faces faces.  That said it is okay to show a different side of your character and not be sooo black and white but as cameras are always on backstage so you shouldn't be breaking Kayfab a ton unless that is part of your character.

Mace is an ass in real life too. ;) But that doesn't mean he can't have a change of heart later on.

[Pink Kitten]

Sooo, here's what I got. Let me know what you think! :-)

Name: Sakura (Sakura Kinoshita)
Gimmick: The High Flyer
Role: Babyface

BABYFACE: When you stand up for something you believe in, spend 2 Momentum and pick 1 of the following:
⚪ gain +1 Heat with your opponent
⚪ leave your opponent speechless
⚪ make Creative book you in a match
⚪ add a stipulation to a match

Advanced Role: None

Hails From: Tokyo, Japan

Entrance: AKB48 - Heavy Rotation

Appearance: Standing 5-foot-4 tall and weighing in at 121 pounds, Sakura at first glance might look more at home spending time at the mall than wrestling tough, physical opponents. But behind her innocent looks lies heaps of genuine talent. When she brings her endless energy and happiness to the ring and tops it off with jaw-dropping high-flying antics, you'll quickly focus less on how unmenacing she looks... and more on how hot she looks!

Personality & Background: Sakura grew up in Japan, in a pro-wrestling (or puroresu) family. Her father a prominent figure in a renowned wrestling dojo in Tokyo, wrestling had always been a big part of her life, and she had been training from a very young age herself. Sakura adored the interaction between the fans and the wrestlers. Outside the ring, she was somewhat shy and reserved, but once she got to perform in front of a crowd, she would instantly explode in an endless storm of cheer and energy. She loved making the fans happy, that was her biggest motivation in wrestling. She was intuitively drawn to the flashy, high-flying style of wrestling - on the top turnbuckle she felt fearless, and she loved how her big aerial moves got the loudest reactions out of the fans.

Once Sakura reached adulthood, her life saw a big change when she got a huge opportunity to study acting in the US. She took the opportunity, moved to another country on her own, and for the next few years, she focused solely on her acting career, leaving her pro wrestling life completely behind.

But she could only deny herself that wrestling was real real, true passion for so long. Eventually, she started craving that interaction with the fans, that raw energy and unique atmosphere in the arena. She realized she could never be happy if she wasn't wrestling; so she took off to find a place for herself in the American wrestling scene.

However, Sakura quickly realized that her experience back in Japan meant very little this side of the pond. She went through many small promotions, but everyone said the same thing: she was just a tiny, petite Asian girl. Who could take that seriously as a wrestler?

The closest she could get to being back in the ring was working as a valet in small, territorial promotions. It was at one of these small promotions, working as a ringside valet, when Malcolm Cane scouted Sakura. He recognized the value Sakura's looks, combined with her actual in ring ability, would have in his promotion. He offered Sakura the chance of a lifetime to get her foot in.

Sakura definitely wasn't thrilled about the erotic angle of MCW, and it's very likely she didn't really know what she was getting into. But it was her first chance to be a real wrestler, in a real promotion, since her teenager days, so she accepted the offer without much thought.

In MCW, Sakura is introduced with just her first name, and she is slotted with an all-out "sexy Japanese schoolgirl" gimmick; complete with short skirts, crazy colorful outfits and some insanely mind-numbing J-pop as her intro. Seeing her for the first time would make people blink and think "what the hell is this"; but feeling the seemingly endless energy and cheerfulness she brought to the ring would quickly win everyone over; and by the time they saw her genuine talent and stunning, high-impact, high-flying moves, they'd be chanting her name.

At the end of the day, Sakura was just a tiny, petite Asian girl, and not really "heavyweight champion" material - so it was very much possible that she'd be doomed to the role of an eternal midcarder, at best. But for now... it was all she wanted. It was time to make some fans happy.

Gimmick Moves

FINISHING MOVE: Sakura Senton (Moonsault Senton)

When you’re booked to win a match, roll 2d6: On a 10+, you hit your Finisher clean. You gain +1 Audience. On a 7-9, they make you work for it. Choose: they counter and you have to resort to a roll-up, gain +1 Heat with them; or you execute another high spot, and gain +2 Momentum.

HUMAN HIGHLIGHT REEL: Whenever you attempt a high-flying maneuver, and you roll a 10+ before spending Momentum, gain +1 Audience.

[kckolbe]

Yup, she's a cutie.  Looking forward to working with her.

[Crash]

She looks awesome (yes and hot too).

Go ahead and post her in the roster thread then post your heat questions in OOC for people to answer.

[Pink Kitten]

Done!

One more question about the rules: is a "botch" any result that's lower than 7, or something specific (like a natural 2)?

[Phaia]

I do hope I have this all right?! Anyway y'all need a manager so Crash and the rest of the wrestlers meet ...Miss Trea!!   :o 8-)

Name: Miss Trea
Gimmick: The Manager
Role: Heel

HEEL: When you do something underhanded to get what you want, spend 2 Momentum and pick 1 of the following:
⚪ gain +1 Heat with your opponent
⚪ win a match (this overrides Creative's booking)
⚪ leave someone helplessly lying on the floor
⚪ get out of a match you've been booked in

Advanced Role: None

Hails From: Unknown...Miss Trea seems to have just walked into the MCW and taken over handling at least one wrestler

Entrance: Slow sultry walk wearing very short skirts slit way up on her left thigh. A black business jacket, ever present chipbroad that seems to be made of metal painted to look like wood. Soft sexy talk with a clear understanding of wrestling and above average brains. 

Appearance: Miss Trea without her heels stands 5'10" and weights in at 129. Of course those 129 pounds look so very good on her. Long well muscled legs that she seems to enjoy showing off. Most of the time her long blonde hair is pulled back into a braid and she has her eye glasses resting loosely on her cute nose. Hazel green eyes seen to take in everything and when she does smile it melts the rafters. Normally coming across as cold, aloof and a...mystery. Age, well she is not saying and for some reason it seems an mystery.

Personality & Background:
Laura de la Trea or so she is listed, prefers to go by Miss Trea when on camera and at ringside. She seems quiet compared to many of the other wrestlers but can leap high and get the crowd going with cheerleader like moves. Yet, MissTrea also displays an amazing amount of knowledge about the sport. Often taking apart an opponent moves on camera in a cold and almost cruel manner. Miss Trea is loyal to the wrestlers she manages as long as they do not betray her...if they do ...heaven help them. This is of course all for the show.

Laura Handers is from a wrestling family. Her father and uncle were the famous 'Underhanders', 4 time MCW World Tag Team champions as well as long time wrestlers holding various other lesser titles. So far it seems Laura is the only one of the children [7 between the 2 brothers and 5 different wives] to go into wrestling. Though rumbles that a brother is being trained and that her father may return keep seeming to pop up. Laura actually has 4 years of college and was in the honor society and a cheerleader. Laura had some small roles years earlier when her father would lift her up into the ring when the Underhanders would win a big match. Corny and cheesy but she loved the roar of the crowd. Early on she began to learn various moves and how to fall and land. Her Father insisted all his children go to college. Laura has a degree in business and was 7th fastest in hurdles, in the nationals, in track. Laura is 21 and starting out on a track suggested by her uncle and father. Build a following and let them 'lure' her into the ring.

Outside the ring and show Laura is friendly and a bit of a prankster. She has already filled one trailer with balloons and likes to have fun. Currently she has no boyfriend and figures that at some point the MCW will have her linked 'romantically' to one of the wrestlers to raise the heat and audience. Laura also studies hard about the sport and asks questions on how various moves work and how to handle a counter. Already she is becoming known for her brainy approach to the 'sport'.

On a botch, you’re obviously faking it, lose -1 Heat with your client.

One more question about the rules: is a "botch" any result that's lower than 7, or something specific (like a natural 2)?

A botch is any roll less than 7.

Phaia!  Hey sexy how are you?  She is very approved.  Go ahead and post her in the roster thread and post your heat questions in the ooc.

Do you want to manage an NPC or a player?

[Phaia]

 It has been a while Crash!

I was reading ooc should I change Laura's father and brother to be in another group since the MCW is new?
make one up? or use one that is out there.
I am also sure her father would not apporve of the more erotic nature of the MCW but Laura really wants to break in to wrestling and is taking a chance here.

Phaia

[Phaia]

as for who Miss Trea manages I am open to suggestions?

Phaia

[Crash]

I would make one up or use one that is out there.

I am good with either a player or npc.

This does look like fun...anyone interested should also check the opening in the OOC thread.

Phaia

[Crash]

I sure hope it is.  I think the system will be fun to try out.  Glad we grabbed a couple more to start.

[Pink Kitten]

Mhm, the system sounds like a really fun mix of storytelling and some simple die rolls to make things interesting and unpredictable - I'm looking forward to seeing how it actually works out!

[Phaia]

the first episode is just starting but more wrestlers would be a great addition and I am sure could be switched with any of the no accounts NPC/NPW. Yes there is erotic and sex in this as well so check it out I figured out the system so it ain't that hard and looks like it will be quick and fun.
