Fast and the Furious: Miami Burnout (Accepting Applications)

[BruceTheCat]

This is a reboot of a previous group game. All new players, and old players are welcome!


Hey everyone! I wanted to recruit interest for a Fast and the Furious-esk street racing/heist game. First, big shout out to Lithium for coming up with this concept in the first place. I really would love to see this get off the ground.

The Game

The game centers around a group of amateur street racers trying to make a name for themselves in the underground racing circuit, while also trying to pull in a profit to fix up their cars. I'm going to be setting the game in Miami, Florida so think suntan and beaches. The group of players (number depends on interest) will all start already knowing each other for the most part. This can mean they are already family, friends who have met through school/jobs/racing, or past flings. The overall group has been together for the last couple of months, and just thrown the money in to open their own small auto shop and rent a house together. The city has good roads for racing, the scene is booming, and money getting traded to the right hands keeps the cops off our backs.

As said before, all of the characters are going to be amateurs with only minimal experience in the street racing world of Miami. If this means you were maybe bigger in another city but had to bail before the fuzz caught up, that's fine too. Everyone starting off is going to be 'poor', meaning we can only afford the bare minimum to keep our cars at racing level. That being said, the car you select has a $20,000 maximum cost. No exceptions.

The Racing

The is the fun stuff! Races will generally happen pretty quick so we don't get bogged down with waiting on posts from other people. Abbreviated, based on the Strengths and Weakness's you select I will be rolling some dice to determine placement in the match itself. Obviously GMing a few scenarios for story-telling purposes. When racing, everyone will have their first post to sort of describe how it all gets going, and how they want to approach the entirety of the race from a driving standpoint. Meaning they could be 'cautious' or 'risky', these are the sort of things I will take into account. Afterwards, there will be maybe 1 or 2 more posts before I throw up a larger description of what happened in the end, and the placements. I'm always open to new ideas for how to improve this method so that it's more fun for the players!

The Future

Like the movies, eventually we are going to transition into sort of a heist gang, whether out of necessity or greed, who knows!

The Cars

The game is set in the present, i.e. 2014, but most of the cars that we start with will likely be from the 90s or early 2000s given the sub-20k budget. Don't bother spending too much time planning every single detail about your car either, because there's a good chance that shit will happen and that you won't be keeping the same one the entire time. I would not recommend making it your daddy's old car that he left you. I will probably create some rudimentary upgrade system in the future.

The Rules

I don't have many, but my two biggest pet peeves are A) Posting what some other character does or says without their consent and B) Not abiding by the required post rate. The required post rate for this game will be once every 3 days minimum. You can post as much as you like otherwise. If after 5+ days you have not yet posted without shooting a reason in the OOC or via PM to me, then your character is going to be moved into a Inactive state. We do not have a posting order because I don't want those available to be waiting on posts from those not available.

There is a system that has been created for the racing of this game. I will explain this system in depth in the OOC for those players who join. All of it is handled behind the scenes, so players will not have to do anything. Only the GMs.

The Characters

Feel free to post your character sheets in this thread. Do not transition them over to the OOC section until you have received approval from me. If you want to get your sheet out there, but leave in a note that says you are going to discuss pre-existing relationships with other characters after approval, that is fine with me as well. Try to have your hobbies or job outside of racing be something not related to racing! This creates depth, and ultimately makes for a more interesting character.

Rebecca 'Becca' Kimura

Theme Music for Becca

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG7e0QSz9ms

Age: 25

Nickname:  Becca, Reby, Bec, Becky, Revver, Kim,  Old Stripper Name: Pinky (She has a lot of nicknames.)

Current Occupation:Waitress/Bartender at a run down Bar near the beach named 'Seaside Shots!'. (Used to be a stripper at the Pink Cadillac)

Hobbies outside of racing:

• Dancer!- She's always been a dancer at heart. Obsessed with music with a good beat. She's a damn good dancer and she takes any oppertunity to show it off.
• Social Gatherings - Because of dancing, she generally loves anything having to deal with parties, social events, and just being around people. She's very extroverted
• Loves the Beach- If she has free time, she's at the beach getting a tan, swimming in the ocean, playing some beach volley ball, or just having a picnic.

Appearance/Style Description:

Rebecca has long and bright hot pink hair that is wavy and thick - flowing down to the small of her back.  She keeps up with it very well too, it's never faded or her roots aren't showing for too long. She's very proud of hot pink hair. She's a bit short and petite, but the girl has curves for miles. One could say her ass is a spaceship that everyone wants to ride. Obviously she didn't have issues having the body to be a stripper and she's not afraid to show her skin. Usually she's wearing short shorts of some kind. Her favorite is jeans that are frayed and cut off right where the curve of her ass cheek begins. The pockets usually are coming out the bottom of her super short shorts and her thong straps are usually showing. Usually she wears a white tank top and a colorful bikini top under it or sometimes she doesn't wear the white top. She also has a lot of piercings. Her belly button is pierced and usually has some fun jewelry in it. Her tongue is pierced, her lip is pierced, and her eyebrow is pierced. Rebecca is also rumored to have more 'hidden' piercings, but doesn't show them off unless it's to the right person. She has a few tattoos on her body, including a dragon on her shoulder that goes slightly down her back and down her arm. She has a few other tattoos, but most of them are hidden in her clothing. Other than an ankle tattoo and a tattoo of a sugar skull on her lower back.

Personality:

First and foremost: The woman loves the thrill. She's quite addicted to adrenaline rushes and she always gets it when she's behind the wheel. Pushing her car to the maximum and making sure to shift at the opportune moment. This applies outside of driving too. She likes to take risks and be a bit daring. Always the first to volunteer to do something dangerous. Becca is also really generally fun to be around. She likes to have fun in all situations! Very social with people and tries to egg people on in parties to have fun. Very much a 'matchmaker' type of personality and tries to force connections between single people. She has a lot of empathy and cares for people quite a bit. If someone she cares about is hurt - she will do everything in her power to care for that person. The woman has a big heart and isn't afraid to show it.

One thing that she's absolutely terrible at is spending money. She's rather addicted to spending all of her freshly earned money on her car or possibly other things that she likes. She is terrible at saving money and amazing at spending it as fast as she can. Usually she's pretty broke. Even though she's almost always a very nice person, the woman has a hot-headed switch that is easily flicked on and off. The person who knows just how to push her buttons and make her turn into an angry mess is her current boyfriend. He can bring out the rage out of her like no one else. She also has quite the competitive streak in her. She knows what she's good at and she expects to be the one to win. She's known for making bets and a bit of trash talking. Her sexuality is also bisexual, even though she leans toward a preference toward men.

History:

Rebecca came from a family of racers. Her father raced, her mother raced, and her brothers currently race as well. They all live in Japan (recently they moved back to support the younger brothers.) Rebecca was the only one who was a bit different from her family. She always loved dancing since a young age and even though she was trained to race by her family - she always preferred dancing. So, when her family packed up and went to move back to Japan - Rebecca stayed in the states. She tried getting hired on by various bands, backup dancing, broadway, whatever! But she just didn't have the moves to cut it. Bills began to pile up and she had to make a tough decision. Deciding that she would become a stripper in the meantime, just as a temporary thing to earn a few bills. When she realized how much money she could make being a stripper - well she obviously continued on with the job and was able to finally buy herself a proper racing car.  Rebecca takes care of that car like it's her child. Spoiling it and constantly upgrading it.

She was forced to quit stripping when her ex-boyfriend demanded it of her. So, respecting him she went with his wishes. Since he threatened to kick her out of their home if she didn't. She went to work at a shitty bar as a waitress and bartender by the beach called 'Seaside Shots!'. It's pretty trashy and it's not her favorite job. She barely makes any money because most of the customers are college students who don't tip very well. To make matters even worse, recently she came home early to find her ex boyfriend in bed with her best friend. Needless to say Becca was furious. She was sort of irrational and hot headed and ended up stealing his nice car. Being a bit devious she crashed it into a pole, but ended up hurting herself on the head. Oh, and to make matters worse her ex-boyfriend had slid in the car with her at the time and was also pretty beaten up and bruised - far worse than she was.

That's how she met John. He was the attending that night and offered her a deal she couldn't refuse. The cops were moments away and about to arrest her not only for grand theft auto, but probably something else dealing with destruction to government property, reckless driving, and who knows what else. John said that if she would race for him in the team that he was forming, he would tell the police that the other guy was found in the driver seat of the car and that her wounds were from him beating her. Becca agreed to go along with the lie to prevent herself going into jail (and also to get back at her ex-boyfriend.) Needless to say. Her ex boyfriend is currently in jail and probably fuming mad.


Current Situation:

Becca is still barely scraping by - still. Luckily she's getting some money from her waitress/bar tending job, but it's not enough to give her car the upgrades she wants. Luckily because she is racing with John's team, she moved into the house that all the other racers are currently living in as well. So, it does make her rent situation a bit easier to deal with. She's already healed up from the little accident that she had and only has a little scar at the edge of her hairline. There are rumors that she's dating someone and they're all true. Currently she's trying her hand at dating again with John, but they're a makeup/breakup couple. They've only been together for a few weeks and have already decided to call it - only to get back together shortly after numerous times. It seems to be working for them and Becca seems to be generally happy... when they're not fighting.

Car:

1995 240SX

Tons of upgrades.
Very tricked out.
(I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CARS!!!!)






Strengths:

Experienced- Been Racing ever since her parents let her behind the wheel. She's been seriously racing with her brothers since she has been sixteen.
Very Quick Reactions- She's quick to react. She has a pretty good sense of what is around her. It also works in trying to anticipate things that are going to happen in front of her.
She's fucking hot- She'll use her sex appeal in any way possible to win a race. She's not against it.
Great at Drifting - This is what she prefers and what she excels at. She even made special modification to her car to make her better at drifting.

Weaknesses:

She's Asian and a woman - Expect fiery wrecks everywhere. But no seriously. (Just kidding. This is just for giggles.)

Straight-away- Not her strongest suit. Has something to do with her car as well as her skill.
Doesn't want the fame- Doesn't want everyone to know she's racing (Related to Ex finding her for revenge easily when he gets out of jail.)
Reckless when emotional - If she goes into a race feeling emotional, she can be reckless and it can change her driving abilities.
Not the best at car repair - She can do general things, but she always needs someone to help her with the more complicated things.

Lori Penzans

Age: 21
Nickname: Iron Dora, BP-DJ

  -Previous nicknames: KIT-dub, Lower Gear, Cog-teeth

Current Occupation:

  Lori works at a BP Station.  Usually, she gets the night shift and early morning shifts, which generally suit her fine, since she is allowed to pick her own music.  Still, it's a low paying dead-end job, full of monotony.

Hobbies outside of racing:

  Lori loves four things above all else: Cars. Music. Steam-punk. And Good Italian Food.  A confessed audiophile, Lori loves metal, but has a unique fondness for Jazz and Swing.  She plays saxophone, frequents jazz pubs, and actually has an unrequited soft-spot for dancing.  She's a bit of a groupie for her favorite band, Anarchy In Harmony.  Lori is also active in the Steam-Punk communities, and has a flair for salvaging parts to make jewelry to sell on Etsy.  Beyond that, the girl is a sucker for a prize fight, a hookah, or a bit of innocent crime.

Appearance/Style Description:

  Lori has short black hair which bunches around her ears, and bored green eyes.  She was always somewhat fair skinned, and although the Miami Sun has changed that to a degree, she is still pleasantly pale by local standards.  She tends to dress in blacks, and is fond of wearing a necklace with a bear tooth on it.  What most people notice about her first, however, is that she walks with a slight limp, and wears a leg brace composed of clockwork gears.  She has several tattoos under her shirt, which go from her right shoulder blade to her left elbow, depicting ghastly spirits manifesting in the snow.  She also has several scars, one just below her right collar bone, indicating a bullet wound.

Personality:

   Lori leads something of a double life.  Many people mistake her for a goth, owing to her monotone apathy and cynicism.  This is a disguise, however, for the artsy, curious and tough as nails young woman she actually is.  She has a capacity for theatrics, and has a deep appreciation for solemn enjoyments and the 'less fine' arts.  She has been told that she has an expression, a warped sneer of sorts, when she's having an idea she means to pursue.  Despite her talents, however, Lori is somewhat insecure, owning to recent events that have shaped her life.

History:

  Lori was born as Lorelei Bianchi, to an Italian Immigrant Chef and an American Para-legal.  She grew up enjoying fine cooking, accordion music, and the like.  She was nerdy as a youth, smart and quiet, more prone to being lost in her own world than actually hanging out with others.  When she started to hit her rebellious years, during which her temperamental father and ice-berg like mother got on her very last nerve, she began to seek companionship.  She found music her calling card, at the time, going to jazz houses and coffee shops.  After making some quirky friends that, while not nerdy, seemed to understand her for what she was, she was invited to the Maw, the parking garage that served as the headquarters for a gang called The Teeth.  That was where she saw her first cover show concert.

  Lori was already familiar with their leader, Kaitlin Naus, who had been part of an experimental rock band.  The energy was entrancing, and she began to try to go to these cover shows as often as she could.  Her grades suffered as she began to fall into various substance abuses and small acts of hoodlumism with her gang-member friends.  A very confusing period followed, in which Lori teetered between giving up the gang for the life she'd had, or vice versa.  This confusion ended rather suddenly one night when a member of a rival gang attempted to kill her.  Naus herself was the one who saved her life, following it with hard but well-meaning advice to "fucking pick" where she stood.  After this, Lori formally began her life as one of The Teeth.

  While the nerdiness she'd carried as a youth had to be quickly beaten out of her, the gang members welcomed her curiosity.  Various mentors appeared, teaching her music, mechanics, driving, and fighting.  Under Naus's tutelage, Lori gained a deep appreciation for one on one fights.  A tall and imposing woman named Silver taught her to drift during street races.  And her first lover, a boy named French Fry, taught her the joys of junking.  It was he who re-awakened her nerdier side by showing her how to craft junk-jewelry. 

  It was during one of these junking expeditions that Lori's leg was crushed by a falling car in a junk yard.  Unable to walk under her own power, she fashioned a clock-work leg brace.  Thereafter, even the other members of The Teeth had to respect her nerdiness.  She started working more on steam-punk fashions in her spare time, running a profile on Etsy to raise money for the Gang.  She also rekindled her love of Jazz Music, buying a saxophone and taking lessons in her spare time.

  This was a fine time for her, but it was due to end.  Sadly, a gang member's foremost skill must be the art of violence.  Even with her brace, Lori no longer had the agility for it.  After nearly getting herself killed for the second time, Naus threw her out, partly for her own protection, but mostly out of frustration.  The event broke her heart.  She took what money she had and moved to Miami, consoling herself for a time on the beaches, taking her leg brace off and letting the waves caress her.

  She loved the musical venues there, and as she began to feel more like herself, she decided she would find a way to get this going.  Taking a job as a cashier at a gas station, Lori started saving up for a car that could compete in street races, resolving to get all the other stuff she wanted with the prize money.

Current Situation:

  She is currently shacking up for some low rent, saving up to build a competitive vehicle, and hopes to earn some fast cash.  Getting thrown out by The Teeth forced her to start over, and to reassess how big a handicap her leg really is.  Once she has enough money, she wants to get her leg fixed.  After that.. who knows.

Car:

1991 Nissan 300 ZX

I call it Neon Marine

Strengths:

  Scion of the Silver Tooth:  Among her many mentors, a woman who called herself Silver was her driving instructor.  She taught that even the fastest drive must be done with grace, and to accent that point taught her how to round tight corners with drift.  She never got as good as her teacher, of course.  But she can none-the-less pull off some beautiful maneuvers, and seems to have a sense for how a car will perform on unfamiliar terrian.
  Grove is in the Heart:  Lori likes to say that her interests split her into pieces.  The more of them she can reunite into a single thing, the better she will perform.  She proves this point on the track.  When she sinks into just the right music and starts to feel the rhythm in her bones, she gets into a unique head-space for driving, that often leaves people in the echo of her custom tuned speakers.
  KIT-dub: Of all Lori's talents, mechanics comes most easily to her.  She loves junking for parts, and if she can find the right stuff, she can modify a car extensively.  That's only part of the story behind that particular nickname, however..
  Jack of All Trades and Their Connections:  In addition to her gang life, Lori is also involved in the local Steampunk and Jazz Communities, as well as running a fairly successful profile on Etsy.  She does try to keep those separate, however.  Not the least reason for which being that she occasionally launders money through her art sales.  Ho hum.
  When life gives you lemons..:  Lori is a survivor, who once earned her place among The Teeth almost entirely on her ability to improvise an increasingly bad situation into something awesome!  This trait is responsible for her junking skills, as well as many other things.

Weaknesses:

  Snapping Turtle in a Porcelain Mask:  Lori's withdrawn nature is based on a whole lot of internal issues.  She isn't immune to her own life's regrets, or to the insecurities of her leg injury.  Add to that, most of her formative years were spent inside a gang, and one she's recently been cast out of.  Lori hides whatever this makes her feel in her hobbies, in her cynicism, and when needed, in her anger.  It makes her hard to get close to, and she's well aware.
  Something to prove:  Lori was a good student to her mentors.  Not a great student, but a good one.  When she is in her element on the track, she sometimes forgets that there are certain moves she can't pull off, and others that even Silver would have told her were dangerous.  As her insecurities began to peak, this manageable need to prove herself became more pronounced.  This may be the primary reason why Naus threw her out.
  Thirst for the Life: Lori won't admit it, but she loves this lifestyle.  Live fast, die young.  Skid into your grave with a half drunk bottle of Yeager and flames in your wake.  Her old Gang boss gave her the keys to get out, knowing she would need them.  It's a temptation she finds hard to resist.
  That Damn Leg:  Good thing it was the left leg!  All I need to manipulate is the clutch!  Just tap the clutch and.. move, leg.. Move!  ..aw, fuck.

Jonathan Hellyer

Age: 27
Nickname: John, Doc

Current Occupation: John is currently undergoing the last year of his residency at Saint Hellen's General Hospital in Miami.

Hobbies outside of racing: Clubs, Movies, Excerise, Dating.

Appearance/Style Description: Unless it's a racing night, or party night, John can most often be found wearing his scrubs or whatever was most comfortable and available in his closet. Already pretty well broken in to the racing scene and the group he doesn't try too hard to impress any more than he has too. More often then not he looks tired.
     
Personality: Jonathan is a up and coming doctor. As a result of that he has adopted a pretty charismatic bedside manner with everyone around him. He is kind, smile's easily, and usually goes out of his way to make other's feel comfortable around him. More so than medicine, he take's racing extremely seriously because he knows the sort of people this sport attracts. He is quick to show that he is not afraid of a fight (or worse), and intentionally tries to appear over-confident during race nights. To say that he never underestimates his opponents is not correct, rather he recognizes that everyone has potential. This primarily comes from the fact that he considers himself an unlikely person to be involved in this scene. If he could do it, why not anyone else?

Racing to him is a true passion, which he considers a team sport more than anything else. He is always on the lookout for new team members to join the new Scooby Gang of the Miami streets. Still, he often talks about wanting more, and what it would take to really hit it big in the scene. Though never willing to outwardly admit it, he's extremely ambitious.

John can be stubborn and have a temper on him, especially when it comes to arguing with his female team mates, or significant other Rebecca. Typically this only comes out during arguments about race strategies, or car parts.

History: Truth be told John's life has not really been that difficult so far. The worst he could probably say about his upbringing is that his parents were extremely strict, and (in his opinion) expected far too much out of him. Most of that had to do with the fact that his parents are multi-millionaires, and the idea is that he was always going to pick up the torch once his father finally passes away. John however never had an interest in business, and always found himself more interested in cars and bikes, living life by gauge of your fuel tank over some corporate office. Probably because it was so different compared to what he was used too.

Regardless his father would have none of it, he was barely even allowed to participate in sports from his mother's fear that he might snap his neck! Well near the end of High School, which was of course spent at only the best male boarding school in the country, John realized that the only way he was going to get out of his responsibility was if he did something that was still seen as respectable. Having always thought medicine was sort of interesting. I mean, he loved ER and watched Scrubs constantly in college. So, he went into Med-School once his father consented, and has actually developed quite an aptitude for medical science. Spurred on all the more by the fact that his father seems to have left him alone in Miami while knowing that he is doing well in his residency. At this point, his parents barely speak to him anymore.

Since jumping in to the Miami street racing underground, John has participated in quite a few races. Obtaining notoriety as a contestant but never a champion. At least not yet. John and the crew purchased a old Miami beach house and adjoining shop to work out of, now finally seeing the beginnings of what he's been trying to find.

Current Situation: Currently John is living out of the team house. Spending most of his days at the hospital, and the nights out practicing with the team. Recently he started dating one of the new team members, Rebecca Kimura. Since that started he's begun to add arguments into his list of growing hobbies.

Car: 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Strengths:

Med School - John has the knowledge and near experience of a starting off doctor, specifically a surgeon. This provides him with a unique skill in the street racing thing, where post people do everything they can to stay out of the hospital.

Good Fundamentals - Not necessarily a expert at any one piece of racing, John has shown a aptitude at all required skills necessary during the race. This typically guarantees he doesn't get last place, but usually also keeps him below first.

In Crowd - John has been in Miami for several years, and involved in the street racing scene for more than a year now. With marginal success in actual races, plus a friendly personality, John has developed several contacts and friends among the local amateurs and even a few of the higher ups.

Knows the Tracks - Practice in a ambulance has afforded John an enormous amount of time getting to speed around the city. He knows most of the choice tracks by heart, and is largely unaffected by the unfamiliar downside that comes with being surprised by the location of a new race.

Weaknesses:

Breakaway - John has always had an enormous amount of difficulty with the first few seconds of the race, never quite getting down the smooth shift between gears from a stationary position. He never gets the lead, and always has to fight tooth and nail for it later.

Ambition - John loves racing, and he's growing in to loving medicine. But just getting to do what he loves never seems to be enough, he has to be the best at it. Or at least surrounded by the best. His ambition to move up in the world of street racing is off-putting to the more experienced who consider him a amateur.

Hospital - He can't get caught breaking the law, or else all that hard work at school goes to shit. So, John would do just about anything to keep his two worlds separate from one another. Also, his work schedule can frequently conflict with his team obligations. In game terms, accidents have longer term effects on this character.

Kind of a dick – John was not immune to the effects of growing up with everything provided, and being one of the main starters of this team. He often can come off as being a little entilted, or a bit of a asshole. Especially when being directly called out or mocked in front of his team.

[mj2002]

Slightly adjusted from the previous installment of this story, I am once again applying for the position of newcomer driver.

Character Name: Zhao Meizhen

Nickname: Mei

Age: 28 years old

Current Occupation: Personal secretary to a medium level manager at a local IT company. She likes her work, but is in it for the salary that allows her to spend a modest amount on her racing hobby.

Hobbies outside of racing: She has taking it upon herself to become an amateur makeup artist, preferring herself as test subject. She is nearly always dressed up wears immaculate make up as well as having her hair in a fancy but not too extreme style. She occasionally likes to get creative in the kitchen, particularly when it relates to seafood. She restricts this to her own home most of the time, and hardly anyone around her would know about this.

Appearance: She likes to dress fashionably, even when she's racing. Her style leans more to stylish than sexy, almost leaning to conservative. Particular attention is given to her make up and hair, which she enjoys working on herself. Her appearance and attire will be elaborated on whenever it changes, or may be represented by a picture as example. She has no (visible) tattoos or markings.

Personality: Mei can be manipulative if needed, using others for her own benefit and covering up with her alluring appearance. Towards women, she may come across as bitchy at times, even hostile, with exception to her close friends. She has had a history of seducing and discarding men, but has given up on that since landing a fairly good job. She comes across as more conservative and calculating over time, seemingly having grown out of her earlier wilder lifestyle. Her fondness for racing are a notable exception to that.

History: She is a recent immigrant from mainland China, coming to the United States at age 10 with her parents. Her father is a well placed manager of a larger Chinese company and was sent overseas to help expand its operations to the US. Her mother used to be a small time fashion model and it is from her that Mei has taken her likings to fashion, make up and stylish appearances in general. Not growing up in a classic Chinatown environment, Mei has quickly assimilated in the local culture. Unlike many of her fellow countrymen, she and her family moved to the Sunshine State instead of the West Coast. As such, she was taught English, but can speak her native language as well. In high school, she came acquainted with the car culture and some of her boyfriends were from this scene. She hadn't considered seriously driving herself at that point in time, but the seeds at been sown.

After high school and a brief college career, she landed a few quick jobs as office secretary and administrative aid, before finally landing a reasonable job as secretary to manager at a nearby IT company. At this point, she was able to afford her first proper ride, which reminded her of the subculture she'd been into at high school.

Current Situation: Recently, she'd been showing up at street races, mainly spectating. She's been observing the drivers and how they work, under the guise of talking to the many women around. She's made some friends among those, with many coming to her for advice on how to do their makeup.

Mei is single and lives on her own in a small house in one of the suburbs. Small enough to house herself and perhaps someone else in the future, but large enough to have her own garage.

Car: 2004 BMW M3






Strengths:

Precision Driver: With a good ride, she can corner very sharply. She is by no means an F1 driver, but she's good at staying on the quickest line. This gives her an edge in races that involve plenty of high speed cornering.

Risk Taker: Results before safety. If there's a chance to overtake someone, she will take it. "If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win."

Stern Upbringing: She isn't from a 'tiger mom' family, but its not far off. At home, she was pushed to perform better than her peers, especially once they relocated to Florida. Your best is not good enough, it's either go big, or go home. She edges on perfectionism, but will not go crazy over it.


Weaknesses:

Track Racer: Mei's favorites are races that involve quick corners, laps and overall longer events. She had done some drag races and observed many, but she's not very good at it. Her ride isn't suitable for this either.

Mechanics Failure: No matter how much she likes cars, racing and the whole scene around it, Mei is not a mechanic. Like everyone, she knows the basics, knows how a car works and can solve problems, but when it gets serious, she needs help.

Risk Taker: That gap she went for? It was closed by the time she got there and now she's stranded on the side. Mei is not reckless, but she is known to take more risks than an average driver would take. She hasn't been in the hospital due to her behavior, but its looming.

Foreigner: While being fluent in English, she's still somewhat of an outsider. Her accent is obvious and her upbringing is very different from what most natives received in Florida. She has very few connections, few friends and can seem distant at times.

Dontae King

Age: 21

Nickname: DK, Don-Don, Tae, Your Highness

Current Occupation: Gym Trainer

Hobbies outside of racing: Sports, Video Games, Making Music, Computers, Partying, Martial Arts

Appearance/Style Description: Dontae is about 6'2, and 220+. He also works out all the time so he's a well muscled 220+. He's pretty handsome and also has a killer smile. He sports a few tats, and knows how to dress for the occasion, although he's usually just dressed in the latest fashion.
     
Personality: Darrius is the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He helps people if he can, and if he can't he tries to find a way to help them anyway, especially friends. On the inverse, he can also be the worst enemy you'll ever have if you screw with him or the people he cares about. He likes to joke and make people laugh, and loves music. In fact, the only thing he loves as much as racing is music...and women. He's a ladies man and loves to flirt and get them at home with him.

History: Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Dontae was only in the states for 2 years before his family was shipped to Tokyo on his fathers base placement(Camp Zama). His mother was Japanese though, so they already had a place to live while his father worked on base. As a result, he was mostly raised in Tokyo. And that meant from a young age he was exposed to street racing of all kinds, but mostly drifting. Before he could drive, he watched, and learned all he could about cars as a kid.

As he got older, his dad and some of his parents friends started letting him help with their cars and he absorbed everything like a sponge. He also got into music and electronics(mainly computers). When he wasn't working on cars or training with his dad who insisted he know how to fight to defend himself, he was recording songs or listening to music or messing around with his computer. When he turned 15, he passed his test to get his permit and found himself driving alone on the backroads whenever he could.

When he turned 16, he got his license and did more of the same. Except now he could leave and not worry about his parents asking where he was. That meant he could finally do what he'd wanted for so long. He got into street racing, and thanks to his 200SX that he'd tuned up with help from his dad, he quickly started to make a name for himself. By the time he was 18, he'd earned the title DK(Drift King) and was something of a legend around Tokyo. Unfortunately, he didn't get to hold his title for that long, as his family was once again relocated due to his military job.

This time they went to Miami. He didn't want to leave, but they didn't really have a choice. He packed his stuff up, had his car shipped to their new address and said his goodbyes. Miami was a different world from Tokyo, but he certainly wasn't complaining when he saw all that it had to offer. Thankfully he wasn't forced into College by his parents, so he found a job working at a Gym as a martial arts trainer. It paid pretty good considering how young he was, and after a bit he moved out and got his own apartment. Living on his own was a bit harder though, so he got into dealing weed as well. He's mostly small time, but he moves enough product on top of his real job to live comfortably. During this entire time though, he'd found himself drawn back into the world of racing, and starting making moves in Miami. That's how he met John, and the rest is history.




Current Situation: Working and trying to further mod his car. Hoping to make a name for himself in Miami like he did in Tokyo.

Car: Nissan 200SX



Strengths:

Drifting - He was called DK for a reason. Since drifting style racing is so prominent in Japan, Dontae has become very proficient in this particular racing style and can take corners like nobody's business.

Tuning - Because of his know how with cars and computers, he's been able to tweak his car as much as possible with the resources he has, making it very powerful for it's size.

Tech Head - He's incredible with computers and electronics. He doesn't do it much because he doesn't want to add more potential illegal activities to his potential rapsheet, but he can even hack into computer systems.

Muscle - He's very strong and damn good in a fight. If people need a friend for a scrap, he's who they call. But that's only natural when you have been studying martial arts your whole life.

Weaknesses:

Show Off - He tends to think over much of himself during races and often jeopardizes his position or even his health when he showboats and flaunts for the people watching.

Flirt - Like his friends, he's a sucker for a pretty face and a nice pair of legs. It's hard to say no to a woman, especially when she shows interest in you.

Physicality - His job is very physically demanding, and as such there are times where he'll be less helpful in a fight or something because he's tired after two four round matches in one afternoon.

Anxious - He tends to get trigger happy so to speak and finds himself sacrificing race position by making moves too early. Hitting the NOS too early or trying to cut past someone in front of him before he's ready to make his move for example.

[xPeachyPuff]

This is an old character that I'm going to reuse. Putting her in a spoiler for now so people can see what to expect, but I need to modify her to this games sheet. Should have her finished by Monday I think. (As weekends are stupidly busy for me.) This is also for my convenience, so I don't have to sift through all my posts again LOL XD

WIP

Jamie Mendez

Age: 20 Years.

Nickname: N/A.

Current Occupation: Mechanic apprenticeship. (Though she's done this kind of thing since she was young, so knows what she's doing. She's just not making much money.) She has been fixing up cars pretty much all her life from the age of 4, with the help of her father of course. She also considers herself a formidable driver, though more of a joyrider in it for the adrenaline rush.

Extra Eye Candy: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Hobbies outside of racing:
♦ Sports/Exercize - She enjoys taking part in things like dance, yoga, kick boxing and gymnastics as well as working out at home and at the Gym when she can.
♦ Dance - Mostly untrained; she did a few ballet classes when she was younger, but didn't keep it up. Her love of dance mostly implies getting down to a heavy bass in a club, rubbing up on someone she barely knows.
♦ Spending Money - Money she doesn't have. Though it doesn't necessarily have to be hers...
♦ Working Her Tan - She loves to just hang out on the beach and chill under the sun in as little clothing as she can manage; she doesn't like tan-lines.

Appearance/Style Description: Standing at 5'2" (158cm), Jamie is a curvy and athletic girl with mixed roots. Those roots being that she's a quarter Mexican, a quarter Taiwanese and half Caucasian. Jamie has long, dirty blond/caramel brown hair that just about reaches the small of her back. Her eyes are a dark brown, almost a chocolate colour. Her skin is tanned; a nice natural shade of bronze. She has a couple of piercings; her bellybutton and her ears. Jamie has one tattoo; a feminine rose and vine pattern along the spine of her back, reaching between her shoulder blades to beginning of her buttocks. She very much enjoys keeping fit and working out, so she a bit more toned than someone else of her stature may be; she does a work-out every night and enjoys going to the Gym when she can. Her style is somewhat promiscuous, though she just thinks it flirty, bubbly and fun, a bit like herself!
     
Personality: Jamie is an adrenaline junkie at heart. She's daring and isn't afraid to try new things. On one hand, Jamie can be a really friendly and helpful person to pretty much everyone. On the other hand however, she can be a bit grumpy at times and refuse to take instruction; she's a very proud girl. She's extremely bubbly and has been told she's quite a likable person; however that doesn't always mean she wants to make friends. Jamie is also a very touchy-feely person and likes to be intimate with everyone if possible. As a mechanic, Jamie is very good at her job and enjoys driving/being driven very much but can sometimes get distracted easily and veer off topic on occasion. She likes to think she's one of the best at her job, but at the same time Jamie really loves to learn new things; not only about cars. All in all, Jamie is a very trusting character, though shes not gullible enough to believe everything that's people tell her. She's a very honest, down-to-earth girl and at the end of the day, she'll tell it like it is; no mollycoddling.

History: Jamie grew up in a loving household that included her mother and father and their 4 dogs; Benny, Patch, Razzle and Jude. The area they resided in wasn't exactly Boulevard Avenue, but it was better to have a house in a shitty neighborhood than not have a house at all. As far back as she can remember, Jamie had always been roped in with helping her father work on his and his friends cars; it was his only other passion other than her mother. She did enjoy the work, but more than the labor, she enjoyed her dads company. Of course, she loved her mum too, but they didn't spend half as much time together as her and her father. Her dad promised her when he'd finished fixing up his beautiful Ford Mustang that he would take her for a spin in it and when he left her, he would leave it to her. Of course, she was extremely excited though she wasn't pleased at the idea of her father leaving her. When she was 16, her father was murdered in a drive by shooting right out the front of their family home. It tore their world apart. Rather than sticking closer as a family, her mother distanced herself and Jamie found it hard to living with her. Her mother even tried selling the car her father had left for her, but Jamie protected it and promised she'd get it up and running so that she could move it to another location. Not only did she feel she wanted to fix it up for herself, she wanted to get it running for her fathers sake as well. Upon her 18th birthday, Jamie moved out of the house to live with a friend in her apartment in the city, taking her fathers car along with her, though it was never completed.

Current Situation:

Car: A 1992 Honda Civic Si. (Modified.)



Strengths:
○ Her looks - Jamie knows that she looks good and she isn't afraid to use her looks and gender to get what she wants, whether that's winning a race or something else entirely. Because of her looks and her personality, she can also fit in easily with any group, therefore being the perfect 'bait' or 'spy'.
• Good with a Spanner - Obviously, Jamie is a mechanic and this helps her not only earn money, but tend to her own car with complete confidence.
○ Determination - When racing, she wants to win and that's just how it is. Her determination helps her concentrate and keep her eyes on the prize.
• All-rounder - Jamie has solid fundamentals when driving; she OK at turning, OK at drifting and OK driving in most conditions. This doesn't mean she has no room to improve, because she has a lot of time to go before she's considered a great racer, but she has everything she needs to get to that point.

Weaknesses:
○ Easily Distracted - Jamie struggles to keep on topic most of the time and if she spots something that interests her, she usually doesn't have much self control in approaching or talking about it.
• Sensitive - Probably an understatement. Jamie can be a little emotional and this sometimes makes her reckless during any situation.
○ Slow Reactions - Simply when racing, Jamie can get panicky and is slow to react to things. This can often leave her losing out and that sucks for her, since she likes to win.

EDIT: Started Editing, just got one more thing to fill out and then another weakness to add and I'll be finished.

I should probably re-write a few parts seeing that my writing style has changed a fair bit, but I just don't feel like it right now, I'd rather go back and change it later.

Miranda Hellyer

Age: 29
Nickname: Mira

Current Occupation: None, living off savings

Hobbies outside of racing: Video games and parties for the most part, as well as regular painting, though it is something she for the most part keeps to herself.

Appearance/Style Description: Normally seen wearing jeans and some kind of jacket, Miranda has yet to fully adapt her wardrobe to the Miami weather, her wardrobe still consists mostly of long jeans and tank-tops with jackets to go over them, along with ankle-tall shoes. Besides that, she own a couple aviators and occasionally wear ear-rings. Has a belly-button piercing with a short chain hanging from it.
     
Personality: Miranda has always had a fair bit of attitude, especially during her younger ages. She didn't get along too well with her and her brother's parents, and fought with them more times than she'd like to admit. She's a fairly sore loser in more or less anything but racing. However, in a more relaxed setting, she's of the type who's head seems to be filled with nothing but clouds, just laying back and not giving a fuck about the world around her. In conversations, she'd normally seem rather care-free, though she has a more serious side that shows itself when she's either angered, frustrated or really pumped up about something.

History: Much like her younger brother, Miranda grew up with rich parents that had high expectations to both her and later her brother. She was a fairly good student at school, getting good grades and staying out of trouble. However, it annoyed her that even if she topped her class, her parents didn't truly seem satisfied. It was frustrating coming home with An A- but yet disappointing her parents, and after a while, she started to slow down on the school and focus more on herself and her own wishes. They fought a lot with one another, which went on for several years, before she eventually was fed up with it all.

When she was 16, having just gotten her drivers license and was ready to get on in life. However, she didn't want her parents to be hanging over her shoulder constantly, so she ended up stealing with her a fair amount of cash, leaving in one of their parent's cars, selling it and buying the car that she still use. While it had been a bit of a project, she had after a good while managed to get it up and running perfectly again. However, she was stuck as a 16 year old girl without an education and nothing better to do, she slowly got involved with racing. However, she had picked a bad car for racing in Seattle, the city she had ended up in while running away from the police and her parents. The car was an RWD, which wasn't very good for the slippery and wet roads of the city with non-stop rain. She did however end up having to get used to it, which she eventually did. Racing with an RWD was going against all the norms of Seattle racing, but regardless of that, she managed to make a name for herself eventually.

After a while living in the back of her car, she managed to get herself a job with one of the people she had been racing against after he got to know that she had renovated her car from scratch. He was a mechanic and offered her a job in his workshop. The pay was pretty shit, but she'd get a place to live and a small income, so it wasn't too much stress. She slowed down on the racing and started to study on the side, enjoying the daily work in the workshop. This went on from she was 17 till 22. She didn't have too much time in her schedule to study in, so it became a spare-time thing. However, eventually she got her degree and a good recommendation from her employer.

She continued with that line of work till she was 25 however. Her employer primarily did the mechanical aspect while she did the visual fixing. She made some extra money from the street races, and despite that her car wasn't made for driving on such wet roads, she eventually found herself driving in the same speed as the FWD cars she'd be racing against, if not faster.

When she was 27 however, the Seattle police preformed a huge-scale raid taking down most of the drivers in the area. The street racing had become a pest to the city and had to be dealt with apparently, which led to the police imprisoning most of her friends, and she spent half a month herself in prison, nothing close to what the others were to stay for.

After being let out again, she ended up travelling for a fair bit, doing small-work, staying a couple months before then moving along to the next, before two years later settling down in Miami, seeing that she missed the street-racing culture Seattle had.

(Rest is reserved for character relations)

Current Situation: Living on savings, single

Car: BMW 5-Series 545i 2006-model
Car Specifications
3.5L gasoline engine 343Hp
6-speed manual transmission
Rear wheel drive (RWD)



Strengths:

Wet Road Driving - After driving on wet roads for several years, Miranda has fully mastered the art of driving in high speeds on slippery and wet roads, not that she's expecting to have any major advantage seeing how sunny Miami is.

High reaction time - She has an exeptionally high reaction time, which allows her to act extremely shortly after realizing that something has happened.

Corner-cutter: - She's experienced with utilizing shortcuts, narrow sideroads and whatever happens to be available to cut down on the time

Weaknesses:

Crowded races - While handling smaller races very well, she has less of an ability when it comes to very crowded races with many cars, often over short distances.

Rich people - Despite having grown up in a rich family, Miranda isn't too fond of the upper class since she knows how hard life can be for the lower classes, and hopes she'll never end up in the upper class herself.

Charismatic men and women - Nothing beats a person with good charisma. Men and women that know their way with words definitely interest her a lot and she can quite easily be fooled by a keen enough tongue.

[Divine Tenacity]

Olivia 'Violet' Johnson

Age: 21

Nickname: Violet or Vy

Current Occupation: Retail Sales Associate

Hobbies outside of racing: dancing, gaming, partying

Appearance/Style Description: Violet is very keen on being a fashionista, albeit one on a budget. When she sees an article of clothing she likes and its too expensive, she will spend the rest of the day hunting down something similar. Her wardrobe runs from baggy jeans, tank tops, and combat boots to tiny skirts and belly shirts and 'fuck me' pumps.
     
Personality: Violet is a woman with little to no filter on her mouth. She speaks her thoughts, no matter how unnecessary or crude they may be. She is an avid fan of cursing and raging, especially when someone pisses her off. That being said, her loud and boisterous nature is what makes her so much fun to be around and party with.

History: Olivia is a Miami native who has had to work hard in order to receive everything she has. Her parents unfortunately passed away when Olivia was 15, leaving her and her younger siblings in the care of a stern aunt and uncle. Fed up with their rules and how they ran the household, Olivia worked hard throughout high school and received a scholarship to the nearby university. She wanted away from them and if going to college was an option, she was sure as hell going to take it. She still feels a little guilty about leaving her brother and sister behind, but she tries to go by and see them often.

Olivia was introduced to the world of underground racing only two short years ago through her friend T.K., who she had known since her freshman year through a matter of circumstance. Olivia soon found she had a knack for drifting and regular circuit races, which tended to draw many drivers with lots of cash. Olivia's first race she brought in with a huge load of her scholarship money. When she won that back and them some, she realized she was hooked. During the days she picked up a job at a local fashion boutique, where she would use her earnings to fix and tune up her vehicle.

Current Situation: Work and working on refining her kickboxing skills

Car: 2010 Mazda RX-8 (Matte violet paint job)



Strengths: Persistent: She will never give up or stop at anything to achieve what she wants.

Drifter: While not the best drifter in the entire world, she is certainly not the worst. While she enjoys a traditional race, hugging corners and curves bring on a huge adrenaline rush.

Speed Demon: Put the peddle to the metal and lets burn burn burn!

Dancer: There is something in the way she moves...

Weaknesses: Road Rage: To say that she doesn't take losing well is a bit of an understatement. She has been known to get quite aggressive if she feels like she has been wronged or cheated in any way, which quite frankly happens often.

Wears her emotions on her sleeve: Olivia is not unlike an open book, expressing or displaying her emotions in such a way folk always know how she is feeling. While it makes her easier to deal with, some have been know to take advantage and manipulate her.

Speed Demon: Olivia's penchant for speed has gotten her on the wrong side of the law more than once. She recently just came off from having her license suspended for six months, but that didn't stop her from racing.

[BruceTheCat]

Hey Divine, go ahead and add at least 2 more Weaknesses to your character.

Also, your character is extremely similar to Rel's. Can you read through her sheet and make Olivia a bit different.

Hey Divine, go ahead and add at least 2 more Weaknesses to your character.

Zenya Semenova

Age: 25
Nickname: *Not required*

Current Occupation: Amateur model

Hobbies outside of racing: Hanging around town, gaming.

Appearance/Style Description: Comfortable but chiq.
     
Personality: Zenya really is the stereotype still waters run deep. She is warm and friendly once you get to know her but she usually stays in the background until she is comfortable. Smart and witty, she doesn't really understand simple people all that well and often gets into trouble for giving her raw opinion. Some would call her shy and careful but once behind the wheel, all that changes.

History: Zenya was born in Novosibirsk, Russia. Her parents weren't rich and they were both working in order to make ends meet. When Zenya became better and better in computer games she entered some tournaments and with the price money she invested in her first car. It was a crappy old car but in the dead of night in Russia's 3rd largest city, she was slowly gaining fame and with the fame came more money.

At day she went to school and was good at it. She graduated with honours and was given a scholarship for the University of Moscow. With her move to Moscow, she left her fame behind in Novosibirsk but she did take her car with her and soon began making a name for herself in Moscow as well. While at university she got discovered by a model scout and Zenya accepted it. The pay was poor and the work was mostly not that great but she managed to save money from her modelling job and racing.

Just when she had given up on her modelling career, she got a once in a lifetime offer from the US. She accepted the offer and moved to Miami where she was introduced to a modelling agency that could really be her big break through. Racing though was in her blood and from her savings and the money from selling her Russian racer, she bought and imported the TVR from the UK and has now finally made it ready to race.

Current Situation: About to be given a major modelling contract.

Car: 2001 TVR Tuscan Speed 6
4.0 Litre straight six



Strengths:

Car Control. TVR's are known to be a handful. Powerful engine and little to no driver aids. This is no problem for Zenya, she knows how to get the car by the throat and trash it around without spinning off.

Calm. It takes a lot to unsettle Zenya, bot in and out of a car.

Outsider. Though very new in America, a lot of the Russian population in Florida support her. Both in racing and her modelling.

Weaknesses:

A bit of a nerd. Despite being pretty sexy and desirable, Zenya isn't the most social person.

Not very strong. She lacks the physical strength of other racers.

Intorelant to heat. Too much heat for too long will weaken her concentration and skills.

Drifting. Kicking the tail out in a corner is one, keeping it there is a second. Zenya's not very good at it, nor is the car.

[Knyghtskye]

Reserving a spot! Gotta come up with a character this weekend! Fuckin' awesome!

Still looking for more people Red? I may transfer Marky over if it's okay? :)

Reserving a spot! Gotta come up with a character this weekend! Fuckin' awesome!

Glad to see you around!  ;)

[BruceTheCat]

Of course Light! Bring Brit in here.

[BruceTheCat]

Approved Jugg and MJ!

[BruceTheCat]

Go ahead and add a racing oriented weakness to your character sheer Dash! Maybe a track type, or part of a race she's not very good at. Take off, drifting, coming in to the finish line, etc.

Also, would she already be apart of the team, and living in the house?

[Dashenka]

No I don't think she's part of anything yet :) I'll add the weakness.

[Lightshock16]

Something to be noted is that he can be a hothead at times, and will quickly get angry if he is pushed too far.

History: Mark was born In the United Kingdom in a town called 'Reading'. Street Racing wasn't common in Reading, but Mark's passion for Car's instead Generated from watching motorsport on the TV. being a particular fan of Mercedes Cars in DTM and Formula 1, Mark's Dream soon became to Drive a Mercedes, although he wasn't sure which he wanted to drive. He briefly thought about pursing a career in motorsport, but he had to drop His dream's when his Parent's moved him with them to the united States at the age of 17.

It was when he got to the United states that Mark's passion for Car's helped him immediately connect with Street Racing. Using Money Both earned by himself and some given to him by his parent's, He bought his Dodge Challenger and a small Apartment in Miami, Florida. He immediately found a job he felt comfortable with working at a local video game store, and he continued earning money, most of which has gone into his Car. He's used this to his advantage and Gained moderate Success in the Underground Street Racing Scene in quite a short amount of time, gaining the Nickname of the 'Quick Brit' due to his British Heritage.

(Space reserved for any Team connection's)

Current Situation: Currently Working and Racing to gain money to continue modifying his Challenger. He does hope he can get a Higher-Spec car someday, but his Challenger is still his baby, and he's in no rush to get rid of it. He's also doing anything he can to help at the Shop, his electronic know-how coming in handy.

Car: 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T



Strengths:

• Peerless Car Control - When it comes to knowing just how to make a Car Move in any direction, Mark is faultless. He has an almost Sixth Sense when it comes to Car Control, and will know exactly what to do with almost any car in almost any situation. If it's FWD, he'll know to lay off the throttle to kill the understeer. If it's RWD, he'll know the perfect way to slide the car around the corner while avoiding the threat of oversteer, and if it's 4WD, He'll know how to maximize the extra grip the 4WD system gives...as well as knowing that he can get away with some off-road stuff in them too.


• Aggression - Mark is also known to be both Fearless and Aggressive when behind the wheel of a Car. He's not afraid to trade paint with his Rival's if the end result is victory, and he's also Very quick to hit the accelerator at the start of races due to his aggressive Nature. Combine this with his ability to know the feel of a car, and you have a Racer who knows exactly what he's doing, and will do anything he can to make sure he does it.


• British Charm - His British Upbringing, Accent and mannerism's Can Generally be of good use to him on American Soil. The Accent in particular is quite helpful when it come's to getting thing's that the group may desire, more particularly If it requires convincing someone of the Female Variety.


• 'Sparky Marky' - True to his nickname, Electronics's are generally his Main service specialty. It help's in both his illicit Street racing Career and also his current Day Job as a Video Game Store Sales Assistant. He's Very Adept at fixing Electrical Devices, and should always be the one to call on if anything need's a new fuse, a new bulb....Or if an Electric Lock Need's Breaking.

Weaknesses:

• Aggression - Unfortunately, the same Aggression that help's Mark can also be a Severe Hindrance to his Racing. His Aggression can often lead to his temper flaring if thing's aren't going his way in races, and when he's hot under the wheel, His Driving can grow more Clumsy, and his Aggressive Driving nature can lead to him either damaging his car badly, or, even with his amazing car control, Putting the boot down too soon and spinning out or Understeering wildly, depending on the car. His Aggression Is the definition of a Double-Edged Sword. His Hotheadedness can also be a problem for his crewmates depending on the situation.


• Females - Another of Mark's main weaknesses is that, unless it's a serious situation, he will almost NEVER be able to say no to a Girl. A Female would literally just have to give a bit of a seductive Tone to her voice, and Mark would almost immediately be putty in their hand. Although this usually just end's up with him being forced to do the icky job's that the female's in the group don't want to do...It could end up being a Very Detrimental weakness Later on in more serious incident's in his life.


• Streetwise - Due to having only lived in America for about 3 and a half years, and while his British charm does help him remain quite a cool customer in the street-racing scene, he's not what you would call Street-smart. He can often get confused at what some people say to him in stereotypical gangsta slang, and it can make him come across as slightly too upper-class, despite his casual clothing preference. It's not a major weakness, just don't expect him to be able to communicate well with Major Gangsta playa's and what not. (God that proves it since I have zero street-smart in me too. xD)

[Dashenka]

Are my weaknesses good now?

[BruceTheCat]

Brit is of course Approved, Light! I'd like if you make him currently a part of the team. Maybe he's a new member, and this is his first official race with the rest. Or maybe he's been with them for a little while now.

[Knyghtskye]

Takeo Tsukiyomi Kazehaya

Age:27

Nickname: “Breeze”, “T.K.”

Current Occupation: Works as a Heavy Equipment Operator for a large junkyard outside Miami City limits.

Hobbies outside of racing: Practices MMA/Martial Arts, Japanese Swordsman, Musician (Bamboo Flute), amateur auto repair, knows 15 card games as well as Majong, self-taught Japanese Cook, Published Haiku Writer, Meditates regularly, practices natural health.

Appearance/Style Description: T.K. stands as a remarkable melding of Eastern & Western Culture; blending easily his Japanese Heritage with the lure of Western Materialism. He dresses simply yet fashionably, loves to show off the tattoo he obtained shortly before leaving Tokyo, and often ties his luxurious hair in a proud ponytail (adding to the allure of his often-assumed Samurai Heritage).
     
Personality: Sophisticated yet rugged, charismatic yet quietly watchful, sharp-tongued yet always in control; he is a man of contradictions and hidden facets. Takeo, otherwise known as T.K. to his friends or “Breeze” on the track, seems to have been built for life in the Western World. He speaks Japanese and English fluently, and can easily connect with most people that he meets; however, he is always holding back and always evaluating. He may appear, at times, to live up to the “emotionless” stereotype of his people, but behind his brandy-brown eyes is a cautious and attentive mind. Though outwardly kind, he will not go out of his way to affect someone’s day for better or worse. T.K. attempts to follow the Tenets & Principles of Buddhism, as is common amongst his Countrymen, but he’s no Saint and he knows it.

History: Takeo was born to a family of 7’th Generation Commercial Fishermen in the Izu Islands outside of Tokyo, Japan. After a particularly violent Volcanic Eruption, his entire family moved their operations to the Tokyo Metropolis. Living in the gorgeous Capital of the East was difficult for the youngest son of a poor fisherman, but young Takeo preoccupied himself with the lure of Western Culture. At age 14, his life took a drastic turn… He became the personal messenger of a member of the Yakuza Crime Syndicate known as “Iwagana-kai”. At age 15, he began assisting in the general day-to-day operations associated with running some of the city’s most prosperous illegal racing circuits. From age 15 until age 20, Takeo was drawn into the seductive (and sometimes violent) world of Underground Street Racing, Illegal Gambling, Auto Theft, and Gangland Intimidation. In order to protect his young son from the lure of a Life of Crime, Takeo’s father sent him to live in America; as far from Tokyo as possible. Takeo, or “T.K” as he’s often called, has lived in Miami for 6 years, and been driving for 5. He lives on his own and works full-time at a large junkyard outside the City Limits. Continuing some hobbies from his childhood, T.K. has spent most of his young life involved in various Martial Arts and uses his training to compete in amateur MMA competitions, albeit rarely.   

Current Situation: Trying to make some extra money doing a few underground races, here & there. Crushing cars by day, and enjoying Miami’s gorgeous nightlife once the sun goes down…

Car:2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT; 6-Speed Manual Transmission, Power windows/locks/mirrors, rear spoiler, Traction Control, dual-stage six airbag safety system, ABS Brakes, Center Display w/ Temp & Compass



Strengths:

Meditative Mind: Everything else comes second when he’s switched on. T.K. is capable of shutting off his emotions and totally focusing on what’s before his eyes; behind the wheel, he is at one with the road and off the track, he is deeply focused and present in every moment. 
Criminal Childhood: Between the ages of 15 and 20, T.K. was exposed to a detailed glimpse into the world of Underground Racing; Specifically, the Criminal Aspects associated with auto theft and sales, underground gambling, security, and promotion. There is very little regarding such subjects that he does not possess (at minimum) a basic understanding. He keeps such information closely guarded, and doesn’t believe he’ll ever have use of it.
Slipstream: Having learned a few secrets from some of Tokyo’s greatest native racers, T.K. knows just how to use the wind as an advantage against other competitors. He has been practicing the legendary “Slingshot Pass” for the past few years, and has shown a penchant for stealing position seemingly “out of the blue”.
Warrior-Scholar: T.K. possesses a background in multiple Martial Arts including Jujutsu, Iaido, and Kendo. He has also studied the psychological and historical aspects of warfare, and often applies such philosophical principles to his daily life… as well as his racing. He is extremely competitive, and would rather die than give up anything he hasn’t lost.
Memories of Home:T.K. loves Japanese culture and cuisine, and enjoys sharing stories of home over a meal. It's one of the few ways to get him to talk.

Weaknesses:

Hates A/C: T.K. would rather drive with his windows down then use his air conditioning; in fact, he often rolls his windows down even in the intense heat of the day, preferring the feel the wind than close himself in a box.
Track Racer: T.K.’s favorite tracks are longer events full of tight corners, straightaways, and drawn-out battles of supremacy. In his mind, racing is warfare in another form, and only through speed and guile will the strong succeed. Neither his vehicle nor his skillset are particularly effective at drag-racing.
Criminal Mind: Though he may try to deny it, he still thinks like one of them…
Honorable Sacrifice: The pinky finger on T.K.'s left hand is missing, cut off at the first knuckle. The cut is clean, and he never talks about it... This disability has made driving using his left hand more difficult at times.
Asshole Boss: T.K. sometimes daydreams of dropping a car on the suit-wearing prick who threatens, once a week, to replace T.K. with a robot.

[mj2002]

Nice character sheet!

[Dashenka]

Ive editted Zenya's history a little bit. She's now new in town. Hope that's alright.

[Divine Tenacity]

Made recommended changes to my sheet. Hope its better now. :P

[Lightshock16]

Brit is of course Approved, Light! I'd like if you make him currently a part of the team. Maybe he's a new member, and this is his first official race with the rest. Or maybe he's been with them for a little while now.

Its your choice man I can make him a new blood If you wanted. :). what should I do now either way?

[BruceTheCat]

Hey Knyghtskye!

Overall your character sheet looks good. However, I would like another racing oriented weakness from Takeo. Currently really the only thing racing wise he is not good at is drag racing. Most of the races that we do will be obstacle course oriented, so I'd like him to have a particular section of the obstacle course he is not strong out. Take off, drift portions, straight aways, etc.

[BruceTheCat]

Approved Dash!

@Light, go ahead and move your sheet over to the Character Sheets thread, then feel free to start posting in the IC

[Aiden]

Posting interest, I want to bring an old character from a dead game. I will updating and fixing it to work in this game, but the concept is the same.

I will try to get down on Tuesday, when I am back home.

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Clint Shaw

Age: 27
Height: 6'0
Weight: 175lbs
Hair: Long (currently) an Brown
Eyes: Hazel

Current Occupation: Collusion Repair Specialist (Not formerly trained), Painter, "Gambling Cowboy"

Hobbies outside of racing: Football, gambling,drinking, shooting, grilling and fucking

Appearance/Style:  Clint is not the "trendiest" of dressers and is rather "simple" in his taste. Jeans, boots (cowboy) and cowboy shirts or a T-shirt. He has not worn a suit since his parents forced him to go to church when he was a teenager. People have poked fun at his over sized belt buckle but he takes it in stride, more so when he reveals the back has a bottle opener which makes it easier to pop open some beers and start the good times. He talks with a Texan draw and shows proper manners (attributed to his mother). It rare to see him without a cowboy hat, some traditions don't die.
     
Personality:  Clint works hard and likes to relax hard. When it is time to work he is an efficient machine with a work ethic and discipline not seen in men his age. When work is over he loves a good beer, meal and a football game. He does not like the club scene but does enjoy hitting up a local dive bar for a round of pool (Where he can hustle his fair share of good players) or a local gambling hall or casino. Clint is a "goes with the flow" type guy and is not quick to anger and get crazy but can deliver a mean punch if pushed to far. If there is a rodeo in town you better believe you will find Clint there. Clint does carry a fire arm on him but he has never been forced to draw it on anyone.

History:  Clint always imaged a life outside of Bonney Texas. His father ran the local car shop/gas station, his mother taught at the local elementary school and he was the town football hero. It was the type of town where everyone knew everyone else's business and the only child could not wait to get away. Clint was born carrying a football (or so his father claimed) and played most his life. His teenage life consisted of girls, football and working under his father at their shop. Unfortunately Clint was never much for mechanic work, like math (another failed subject) he understood the basics but excelled in another aspect of car work, body repair and paint. His family encouraged him to pursue both football and auto body repair, unfortunately after an injury in his senior year his hopes of a life in the NFL came to an end.

With his one escape out of Bonney cut short he turned to collusion repair and packed up his truck and left to make his own way after Highschool. Clint ended up in Florida working at a small repair shop as the collusion repair specialist and painter. Despite is lack of formal training, his work was quickly noticed and offers from bigger shops paying more started to come in. A few years of living in Florida introduced him to many things the small town "cowboy" knew little about, the most influential being street racing. Many people gave him shit about driving his truck to late night car shows and races but those who hired him to paint and install their (body) kits always spread the word on his expertise.

In time he got the money for a Nissan 240sx and started to race it, mostly losing until he swapped out an engine and had a few modifications done to the car, the most expensive one to date being a Sr20det engine which pushed the car up to 210hp, 255 once full tuned.

He heard Tampa was a good scene and decided to move out that way. Clint lived in his truck a few weeks while he worked at a new shop, until he met Marcellus Smith and learned they needed a roommate. Clint moved in, met them and made new friends.


Current Situation: [You don't really need to fill this in yet until after we've worked out the character histories together. Just a sentence or two if you want.

Car: 95 Nissan 240sx with Sr20det engine and s15 body kit, fully tuned at 255 hp
99 Ford Ranger, Work truck/Daily Driver


Relationships:

Star Freyman

I met Star before I ended up moving in with all of them. She hung out at a bar I visit on occasion to hit on women and ended up beating her at pool a few times. Later I found out that she was friends with Blake the bar tender and any attempts to hit on them was normally rejected, I guess her friend told her about me. When I finally met them through Marcellus and knew they would be my future room mates I pretty much put these two on a "most likely not going to happen" list. It doesn't help that I bring chicks over and I have been caught more than one nailing them on the work shop bench in the garage.

Demi Etherson

     

Juliana Dang

Jewels is cool girl, I met her long before we became room mates doing some body work. I didn't think much of it past that encounter until I was introduced to her and the rest of the people Marcellus lived with. Soon enough I moved in also and we became room mates. Jewels is the princess type, likes keeping her nails and hair done and I appreciate that and days she lays out by the pool in a bikini. Hell, I appreciate when all our female room mates do that. We do have one thing in common, she likes to eat my meat and by that I mean when I grill, not that I would reject her if she wants to saddle up and give me a ride.       

Blake Richardson

I hit on Blake a few times at the bar only to be shot down. I met Star here also, figure the two are friends. I might have salvaged my chances with Blake after I moved in if I had not been caught fucking that Spanish foreign exchange student on the workbench in the garage. We are still cool, I am not sure if Blake shared the story with the other girls, I doubt they have been spared a sight of my ass, I sleep nude and the bathroom is in the hallway.

Jason Sullivan

I met Jason after moving into the house. After learning he was a former solider, I pretty much didn't ask him about his time in the service or any of the details. We hang out as a roommates, share a drink or two but the conversation never gets past idle chit chat. In the garage we tend to stick to our own projects and help each other as needed but the most I can do is hand him tools, I don't get all the electronic stuff.

Adriano Guillermo

Adriano seems cool enough, even when he challenged the cat to a staring competition. We have a few things in common, mostly our hectic work schedules. I think all the guys tend to hang out well together, the ladies are different. We are guys, despite some trash talk on races we get along well and can drink and grill on the weekends. His accent is a little hard to understand but I bet it is a damn good panty dropper. 

Marcellus Smith

I met Marcellus through his uncle at a shop I freelance at once in a while. We went out for beers a few times and started hanging out, he was the first person I befriended since my move to Tampa. When I heard about their plans to move into a house and they were looking for more roommates I jumped in. I been living in my truck for a few weeks beforehand, never really having the time to settle in as I was hustling for work and I had a string of temporary relationships that finding a bed of my own was a big concern.

Me and Marcellus devolved a rivalry of sorts, he is a FWD driver and I have faith in RWD. We raced a few times and we seem to be trading wins and losses. Maybe once I get enough money and get my car to its final tune I will have that edge to give him a nice loss streak. 

Mr. Muffles

I never really liked cats a lot, but this one is alright and has a pussy wagon and I respect that. Jewels doesn't know,  I toss the cat meat of the grill from time to time.

* Rel Mayer means this as a compliment.

[Aiden]

Hey guys!

I am actually thinking of just making him a support character, as in not a racer. I like the idea of being the guy in a truck or possibly a motorcycle.

At the moment, my idea is to have him arrive from Tampa looking to settle in, but if there is some people with that same plot I can work something out.

Maybe, he heard Miami has a better racing scene = more work. He is already well known in Tampa as a great painter body repair guy.

[BruceTheCat]

Hey Aiden! Your sheet looks fine, you would just need to adjust it for this game as opposed to the other one.

I'd like to make him someone that is already friends with the main crew. He can be new to Tampa, but currently we've filled out all of the "unfamiliar character" slots.

[Aiden]

That works, maybe he has been around. He sticks out like a sore thumb at racing events with his truck. Maybe be new as a racer, keeping his 240sx and debut with a few losses. (Maybe tie into the main group that way, work my way up to that SR20det engine?)

What about a (undercover) cop!

[Letrixia]

I am thinking about joining but I was meditating something along the lines of a younger sister. The GM has one already so I was wondering if there was a gal or guy who wanted a younger sister?

[Juggtacular]

She could be DK's little sister if you want.

[Letrixia]

Pm me his profile?

[Knyghtskye]

Hey Red,

   What other things involved in obstacle courses could be suck at? I'm tryin' to come up with something unique...

[BruceTheCat]

Maybe you don't react well to people overtaking you, or vice versa. In system terms (I use a self created system for each race) it would mean you'd get a negative when trying to pass someone, or when trying to stop someone from passing you.

Kathleen Williams

Age: 21
Nickname: Kitty, Black Cat (Hacker Alias)

Current Occupation: College student with a job in fixing computers.

Hobbies outside of racing: Hacking, Computers, Singing, Writing, Stealing, Drawing

Appearance/Style Description: She has a gothic-punk look at all times. Two tattoos on her body are well known, one of a little devil just above her naval and another of a blonde woman with black wings on the small of her back. Piercings all over the place (lip, bellybutton, vagina, tongue, eyebrow and ears of course).
     
Personality: Aside from her looks, Kitty can be a very nice and loyal person. She loves riddles and is very good at them, she is the type of girl that does not give out easily to anything she set's her mind into. Those who know about her hacking however know very well to not bother her while she is working, when her headset comes in that means leaving her alone and she would make everybody know full well if they decide to bother her.

History: [[Will add more if people want to be related to her]]
Kathleen was born with a very different childhood, at first people thought that she had mental problems as she had trouble communicating with people and often times stared at random stuff for hours on end. She had a very hard school life and had trouble making friends. When her parents decided to take action however they discovered something amazing, she was a calculated genius. The reason that she seemed to stare at random stuff was different but often included some math problem or something like that. She continued with her life in school normally even though she could graduate three years earlier. It was one night while walking that she discovered street racing and since then she has become obsessed with it. She picked up hacking awhile later and became a well known name around the globe as a hacker that often fought for peoples rights.

Current Situation: Current studying mechanical engineering and Science.

Car:



Strengths:

Calm Mind:Learning it from hacking she can keep calm in most situatons. She does not make any rash decisions and thinks everything. When Racing that translate to never freaking out during a race and keeping a calm mind.

Genius: She is a true genius, she can solve math problems easily and will just take a couple of seconds to find a logical solution to just about any problem.

Hacking: She created a entire new persona called Black Cat online, hacking to even the pentagon. She is very gifted in any computers and just a few people knows it.

Connections: Due to her hacking skills she has connections in that area, she is able to get the best deals for computer parts.


Weaknesses:

Socially Strange: Even though she can talk fine now she still have some trouble getting to trust people fully. Not really caring what anybody says about her she is often just hanging out with the few people she call friends.

Too Confident: While driving she can be too confident in her skills allowing her to get sometimes in trouble due to her overconfidence.

Physically Weak: She has no idea how to defend herself and relies on others to often defend her. She is scared of confrontations with people and often times just retreats into her own little fantasy world inside her mind.

[Divine Tenacity]

Im going to make a few more changes to my c.s. in a bit. Got caught up playing Destiny.

[xPeachyPuff]

OK, so here is my completed sheet! Hope she looks OK? Would love some feedback. I was thinking that Jamie is new to the area and she either runs into someone and gets talking about racing or she meets the group at a first race which she attends by herself? Any thoughts?

- Rainbow ♥

Jamie Rosa Mendez

Age: 21 Years.

Nickname: N/A.

Current Occupation: Mechanic apprenticeship. (Though she's done this kind of thing since she was young, so knows what she's doing. She's just not making much money.) She has been fixing up cars pretty much all her life from the age of 4, with the help of her father of course. She also considers herself a formidable driver, though more of a joyrider in it for the adrenaline rush.

Extra Eye Candy: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Hobbies outside of racing:
♦ Sports/Exercize - She enjoys taking part in things like dance, yoga, kick boxing and gymnastics as well as working out at home and at the Gym when she can.
♦ Dance - Mostly untrained; she did a few ballet classes when she was younger, but didn't keep it up. Her love of dance mostly implies getting down to a heavy bass in a club, rubbing up on someone she barely knows.
♦ Spending Money - Money she doesn't have. Though it doesn't necessarily have to be hers...
♦ Working Her Tan - She loves to just hang out on the beach and chill under the sun in as little clothing as she can manage; she doesn't like tan-lines.

Appearance/Style Description: Standing at 5'2" (158cm), Jamie is a curvy and athletic girl with mixed roots. Those roots being that she's a quarter Mexican, a quarter Taiwanese and half Caucasian. Jamie has long, dirty blond/caramel brown hair that just about reaches the small of her back. Her eyes are a dark brown, almost a chocolate colour. Her skin is tanned; a nice natural shade of bronze. She has a couple of piercings; her bellybutton and her ears. Jamie has one tattoo; a feminine rose and vine pattern along the spine of her back, reaching between her shoulder blades to beginning of her buttocks. She very much enjoys keeping fit and working out, so she a bit more toned than someone else of her stature may be; she does a work-out every night and enjoys going to the Gym when she can. Her style is somewhat promiscuous, though she just thinks it flirty, bubbly and fun, a bit like herself!
     
Personality: Jamie is an adrenaline junkie at heart. She's daring and isn't afraid to try new things. On one hand, Jamie can be a really friendly and helpful person to pretty much everyone. On the other hand however, she can be a bit grumpy at times and refuse to take instruction; she's a very proud girl. She's extremely bubbly and has been told she's quite a likable person; however that doesn't always mean she wants to make friends. Jamie is also a very touchy-feely person and likes to be intimate with everyone if possible. As a mechanic, Jamie is very good at her job and enjoys driving/being driven very much but can sometimes get distracted easily and veer off topic on occasion. She likes to think she's one of the best at her job, but at the same time Jamie really loves to learn new things; not only about cars. All in all, Jamie is a very trusting character, though shes not gullible enough to believe everything that's people tell her. She's a very honest, down-to-earth girl and at the end of the day, she'll tell it like it is; no mollycoddling.

History: Jamie grew up in a loving household that included her mother and father and their 4 dogs; Benny, Patch, Razzle and Jude. The area they resided in wasn't exactly Boulevard Avenue, but it was better to have a house in a shitty neighborhood than not have a house at all. As far back as she can remember, Jamie had always been roped in with helping her father work on his and his friends cars; it was his only other passion other than her mother. She did enjoy the work, but more than the labor, she enjoyed her dads company. Of course, she loved her mum too, but they didn't spend half as much time together as her and her father. Her dad promised her when he'd finished fixing up his beautiful Ford Mustang that he would take her for a spin in it and when he left her, he would leave it to her. Of course, she was extremely excited though she wasn't pleased at the idea of her father leaving her. When she was 16, her father was murdered in a drive by shooting right out the front of their family home. It tore their world apart. Rather than sticking closer as a family, her mother distanced herself and Jamie found it hard to living with her. Her mother even tried selling the car her father had left for her, but Jamie protected it and promised she'd get it up and running so that she could move it to another location. Not only did she feel she wanted to fix it up for herself, she wanted to get it running for her fathers sake as well. Upon her 18th birthday, Jamie moved out of the house to live with a friend in her apartment in the city, taking her fathers car along with her, though it was never completed.

Current Situation: Is already a part of the group and is living in the house with them all between fixing up cars at the shop. Thankfully her housing issue has been sorted, though she's still lower on cash than she would like to be.

Car: A 1992 Honda Civic Si. (Modified.)



Strengths:
○ Her looks - Jamie knows that she looks good and she isn't afraid to use her looks and gender to get what she wants, whether that's winning a race or something else entirely. Because of her looks and her personality, she can also fit in easily with any group, therefore being the perfect 'bait' or 'spy'.
• Good with a Spanner - Obviously, Jamie is a mechanic and this helps her not only earn money, but tend to her own car with complete confidence.
○ Determination - When racing, she wants to win and that's just how it is. Her determination helps her concentrate and keep her eyes on the prize.
• All-rounder - Jamie has solid fundamentals when driving; she OK at turning, OK at starting a race and OK driving in most conditions. This doesn't mean she has no room to improve, because she has a lot of time to go before she's considered a great racer, but she has everything she needs to get to that point.

Weaknesses:
○ Easily Distracted - Jamie struggles to keep on topic most of the time and if she spots something that interests her, she usually doesn't have much self control in approaching or talking about it.
• Sensitive - Probably an understatement. Jamie can be a little emotional and this sometimes makes her reckless during any situation.
○ Lightweight - ...Another understatement. Jamie cannot take her alcohol whatsoever, but this doesn't stop her drinking it and partying it up. She is easily persuadable and will give in to peer pressure easily. This trait often leave her in messy situations.
• Slow Reactions - Simply when racing, Jamie can get panicky and is slow to react to things. This can often leave her losing out and that sucks for her, since she likes to win.
○ Drifting - She's not amazing at controlling herself for one, let alone controlling the car in such a way. Plus, it totally wrecks your tires and she doesn't have the cash to splash for that..

[Divine Tenacity]

Alright, revamped everything and polished where needed. Hope this is okay! Planning on starting her off at the races already when approved.

Olivia 'Violet' Johnson

Age: 21

Nickname: Violet or Vy

Current Occupation: Retail Sales Associate

Hobbies outside of racing: dancing, gaming, partying

Appearance/Style Description: Violet is very keen on being a fashionista, albeit one on a budget. When she sees an article of clothing she likes and its too expensive, she will spend the rest of the day hunting down something similar. Her wardrobe runs from baggy jeans, tank tops, and combat boots to tiny skirts and belly shirts and 'fuck me' pumps.
     
Personality: Violet is a woman with little to no filter on her mouth. She speaks her thoughts, no matter how unnecessary or crude they may be. She is an avid fan of cursing and raging, especially when someone pisses her off. That being said, her loud and boisterous nature is what makes her so much fun to be around and party with.

History: Olivia is a Miami native who has had to work hard in order to receive everything she has. Her parents unfortunately passed away when Olivia was 15, leaving her and her younger siblings in the care of a stern aunt and uncle. Fed up with their rules and how they ran the household, Olivia worked hard throughout high school and received a scholarship to the nearby university. She wanted away from them and if going to college was an option, she was sure as hell going to take it. She still feels a little guilty about leaving her brother and sister behind, but she tries to go by and see them often.

Olivia was introduced to the world of underground racing only two short years ago through her friend Takeo, who she had known since her freshman year through a matter of circumstance. Olivia soon found she had a knack for drifting and regular circuit races, which tended to draw many drivers with lots of cash. Olivia's first race she brought in with a huge load of her scholarship money. When she won that back and them some, she realized she was hooked. During the days she picked up a job at a local fashion boutique, where she would use her earnings to fix and tune up her vehicle.

Current Situation: Work and working on refining her kickboxing skills

Car: 2010 Mazda RX-8 (Matte violet paint job)



Strengths: Persistent: She will never give up or stop at anything to achieve what she wants.

Drifter: While not the best drifter in the entire world, she is certainly not the worst. While she enjoys a traditional race, hugging corners and curves bring on a huge adrenaline rush.

Speed Demon: Put the peddle to the metal and lets burn burn burn!

Dancer: There is something in the way she moves...

Weaknesses: Road Rage: To say that she doesn't take losing well is a bit of an understatement. She has been known to get quite aggressive if she feels like she has been wronged or cheated in any way, which quite frankly happens often.

Wears her emotions on her sleeve: Olivia is not unlike an open book, expressing or displaying her emotions in such a way folk always know how she is feeling. While it makes her easier to deal with, some have been know to take advantage and manipulate her.

Loose Cannon: Olivia's penchant for the danger has gotten her into trouble more than once. While not exactly a felon, she understands that her disregard for the rules of the road are to blame. This however does not stop her from trying to have some fun.

Christopher Bishop

Age: 26
Nickname: Chris

Current Occupation: Works at the local library, gambles

Hobbies outside of racing:
Reading, Often when he's not at the bars or gambling he can be found in a library or at his book store reading into the late hours. 

Gambling,  Anything to make a quick buck to put towards the things he needs, hes not really good at it and he is somewhat addicted to it.

Appearance/Style Description: Standing 6 foot tall, Christopher seems like a kid to not be on the wrong side of.  In high school he gained his toned etched figure from constant practice on the schools hockey team.  When dressed he is either wearing athletic shorts with a Pittsburgh penguins t-shirt on or in more fashionable sense he dons on nice button down shirts with a nice relaxing pair of jeans that look well with his stylish puma shoes.  For style, he's best recognized as an alternative outlook on life.  Since his brothers death, and his burns, he's held a stoic outlook on life leaning towards depressing. He often keeps shirts on to hide the burn scars as he fears they'll scare others off and they remind him of his pain.
     
Personality: Quiet at first, once he warms up he is a nice guy.  Hard to anger, yet once he's angry its hard to calm him down. His eyes always seem distant, truthfully its because he blames himself for the deaths.

History: Christopher was born the youngest son of two, to a loving family.  His father was salesman for a local fruit market, often trying to branch out to different communities to expand their customer basis.  His mother owned and ran "Bishop's Books" a small downtown bookstore given to her by her own parents when they passed.  Chris's older brother, Steve, was the exact opposite of him growing up.  Where Steve was into cars and hand tools, Chris always found himself helping his mother and reading quiet often.  Steve and Dad would work on the cars if issues arose while Chris would help catalogue new books when they came in.  Life was often a fun endeavor and they seemed the happy go lucky family.  They brothers were never apart despite their differences.  They were best friends, and often Chris would help Steve with school and often got him into reading.  Likewise, Steve helped Chris learn the basics of auto mechanics and tools so he'd be able to survive in life. 

Upon his 17th birthday Steve was going to surprise Chris with his very own muscle car, on that his dad and brother both worked on for him.  As he found out he was ecstatic, and soon the trio set off on customizing and fixing the 1973 Trans Am up.  During this time his brother taught him everything about driving a car properly, and soon he was almost as good.  However, Tragedy struck one night the brothers were working on the beast.  Fire broke out, and Steve was trapped under the metal hunk as it went up.  Chris tried many feeble attempts to save his brother, even as far as scaring his chest and right arm and putting himself in the hospital.  Months passed since the day his brother died, and on two occasions he attempted to take his own life, blaming himself for his brothers death.  One night after work when he just turned 19, more sad news struck him.  He arrived home to find multiple cop cars and an ambulance positioned all about.  He found his mother hysterical in the arms of his uncle, reason being his father ended his life by drinking and over dosing on sleeping pills in a depression. 

The next 5 years of his life consisted of multiple police encounters with him mostly outrunning them.  When he wasn't working in the book store, which was hardly ever anymore, he was either drinking and singing at the local bars or gambling his life savings away.  His life was chaos until he crossed the wrong people with the wrong bets.  After cheating to win, and being beaten to a bloody pulp, he was told to leave the area and never return.  That is when he arrived in Miami from Pittsburgh.  A new life awaited him and when he turned 25 everything seemed to be on the right track.  He was making decent money working at the local library.  He had the old trans am shipped down to him and he began to fix the car up once more in memory of his dead brother and father.  He moved his mother down to Miami to keep her out of harms way and planned on helping her open another book store. 

Yet old habits die hard, and he needed money to do that.  So once more he gambled and raced, and after winning the small time drag he won the upsetting fists of the small crew he beat.  It was something that ended him in the hospital where he met non other then the Doc.

Current Situation: Working at the library and racing/betting to get money to build his brothers gift car and to reopen the bookstore.

Car: 2012 ford fusion bought at auction



Strengths:

Anticipator- Since getting into gambling he's learned a thing or two about reading people, weather on or off the track.  He's good at knowing when people are about to attempt a NOS boost or drift into a secret route.

Straight away - He knows how to take advantage of the straight away in races, understanding that gapping the distance is always a good idea.




Weaknesses:

Depression - Randomly he'll be reminded of the ones he lost and often he'll go on drinking binges or wonder off to be alone.

Non Mechanic - Even though his brother taught him a whole lot about vehicles, he isn't a trained mechanic, so he is not very well able to make his way about an engine, in depth.

Burn marks - The burns on his chest and upper right arm often flare up in excruciating pain and many times they've done such while racing causing him to lose focus and mess up.

Gambling

Drifting - Even though Chris is amazing at the straight away, he could never seem to get the drifting ability down.  Not that he wont do it, nor does he not (because most times he tries) but he looks sloppy and it often ends up costing him time.

[Chreestafer]

its only a rough draft for now, but ill have it finished tomorrow :)

Donnie Flair

Age: 19
Nickname: N/A

Current Occupation: Fulltime Street Racer

Hobbies outside of racing: W.I.P

Appearance/Style Description: Donnie's outfits are typically casual. He usually wears a black Harrington jacket which is almost always worn over graphic t-shirts. He usually sports jeans (black or denim) and wears black and grey converses as shoes. Donnie also has several tattoos.
     
Personality: An absolute clown with an irritating and annoying attitude towards life and others. He has sarcastic wit, an answer for everything and an apparent imperviousness to hurtful comments. He is mischievous and has absolutely no problem telling anyone what is on his mind. However, underneath the cocky quips and sarcasm, Donnie isn’t as unemotionally untouchable as he makes himself out to be.

History:  Donnie grew up in Ireland, mainly raised by his mother. His father left the pair when he was only 5. Around this time, his father got another woman pregnant which led to the birth of his half-brother. Eventually, his father returned with this conceived notion that the states was the place to be which led the family to move to Seattle, Washington. However, his father left them once again and remained a shadowy figure in his son's life - even leaving Donnie by himself for three hours after treating him to a birthday visit at the mall.

Donnie had some trouble at home when his mother began a serious relationship with her new boyfriend. His goal was to annoy, irritate and push the new man out of the household. It got to the point that his mother eventually threw him out of the house, choosing her boyfriend over her own son. It was around this time that Donnie took an interest in driving. Upon hearing the news, his brother flew down to the states and decided to give him a hand. He gave him some money and more importantly, left him with his 1989 Nissan 240SX.

Due to the appeal of the car, Donnie was slowly beginning to gain the attention of the local street racers. This new found awareness motivated him to get into the racing scene and specialize in drifting. It was then that he met DK, who happened to be around the area. Impressed by his abilities and perseverance, DK decided to take him to Miami to in order to bring out his full potential and maximize profit.

Current Situation:

Car:

1992 Nissan 240SX SE



Strengths:
W.I.P

Weaknesses:

I am closing recruitment for all those who have not already posted a sheet.

DinaFlower can still join when she comes back!

[DinaFlower]

                                                                    Robin Banks

Age: 18
Nickname: Jade, skittles((only by those really close to her)) And kitten((you better have a six pack and nice car if you call her kitten.))

Current Occupation: Flipping ounces.

Hobbies outside of racing: Working on cars and working on Men.

Appearance/Style Description: Robin tends to where skinny or mini skirts. Her hair is almost always down. When you see the picture 90% of you will know who it is if not all of you. When I was looking for a picture I came across one of her and decided it was wonderful. ((Most the time I avoid famous people lol))
     
Personality: Due to the fact that Robin was brought up in the word of cars, drugs, and guns she is always watching her back. She only trust those that have earned it. If you hurt someone on that list then you will have hell to pay for it. She is mostly happy and fun to be around. She is a party girl, always has ben. If you have not had a drink with her, than you are not her friend. And the only thing she likes more than men is cars.

History: Robin was raised by a criminal. Her mother died giving birth to her, But her father has never told her that. All Robin knows is that her mother died when she was young. She grew up in a world of fast cars, drugs, and guns. At the age of 13 she could flip an ounce. When her she was 16 her father rolled his skyline GTR r35 in a street race. That car is not siting in her garage as the cost to fix it is more than she can afford. From that day on Robin has looked after herself.

Current Situation: Trying to make ends meet.

Car: 1990 Cheval SS 454 ((Was stolen))



Strengths: She was raised in a world of boosting cars and racing. Though she is new to racing herself, she knows all the players. Robin knows how to lead a pack, when she gets ahead she knows how to block people out. She is a big risk taker, she always has been. Because of that she has gotten good at getting her baby through tight spots and in places most racers would not go.

Weaknesses: She is still young and newer to the Racing life than most. As a result she can make the wrong decision hen she has to make a split second one. It also causes her to want to prove herself. Causing her to be over eager at times, clouding her judgment. She will not race VS a GTR, as she watched her father die in one.

Pft, better still be room for 'Alpha'.

[Juggtacular]

Alpha hopes there's still room for Alpha. Alpha would be majorly upset if Alpha couldn't come back and dominate, because that's what Alpha does. ALPHAAAA!!!

Get it? Because Alpha speaks in Third Person like all the time.

[Aiden]

Clint Shaw

Age: 29
Nickname: Cowboy

Current Occupation: Collusion Repair Specialist (Not formerly trained), Painter, "Gambling Cowboy"

Hobbies outside of racing:  Football, gambling,drinking, shooting, grilling and fucking

Appearance/Style Description: Clint is not the "trendiest" of dressers and is rather "simple" in his taste. Jeans, boots (cowboy) and cowboy shirts or a T-shirt. He has not worn a suit since his parents forced him to go to church when he was a teenager. People have poked fun at his over sized belt buckle, but he takes it in stride, more so when he reveals the back has a bottle opener which makes it easier to pop open some beers and start the good times. He talks with a gravely Texan drawl and shows proper manners (attributed to his mother). It rare to see him without a cowboy hat, some traditions don't die.
     
Personality: Clint works hard and likes to relax hard. When it is time to work he is an efficient machine with a work ethic and discipline not seen in men his age. When work is over he loves a good beer, meal and a football game. He does not like the club scene but does enjoy hitting up a local dive bar for a round of pool (Where he can hustle his fair share of good players) or a local gambling hall or casino. Clint is a "goes with the flow" type guy and is not quick to anger and get crazy but can deliver a mean punch if pushed to far. If there is a rodeo in town you better believe you will find Clint there. Clint does carry a fire arm on him but he has never been forced to draw it on anyone.

History: Clint always wanted a life outside of Bonney Texas, the small town he was born and raised in. His father ran the local car shop/gas station, his mother taught at the local elementary school and he was the town football hero. It was the type of town where everyone knew everyone else's business and the only child could not wait to get away. Clint was born carrying a football (or so his father claimed) and played most his life. His teenage life consisted of girls, football and working for his father at their shop. Unfortunately Clint was never much for mechanic work, he was decent but excelled in another aspect of car work, body repair and paint. His family encouraged him to pursue both football and auto body repair. Unfortunately after an injury in his senior year, his hopes of a life in the NFL came to an end.

With his one escape out of Bonney cut short, he turned to collusion repair. He packed up his truck and left home to make his own way after High school. Clint ended up in Florida, working at a small repair shop as the collusion repair specialist and painter. Despite his lack of formal training, his work was quickly noticed and spread word of mouth. Offers from bigger shops started to come in. A few years of living in Tampa, Florida introduced him to many things the small town "cowboy" knew little about, the most influential being street racing. Many people gave him shit about driving his truck to late night car shows and races but those who hired him to paint and install their (body) kits always spread the word on his expertise.

After a chain of events transpired, he had to get out of town and ended up in Miami, forced to rebuild. His car was totaled and Clint decided to leave the drivers to others. Between his truck and his Harley Dyna, he was content. He still goes to racing events to promote his works and to spectate the races.


Current Situation: Newish to the Miami scene, he is focusing his time trying to find consistent work and establish contacts. He wants to race, but has other pressing financial matters. Hustling poker and billiards only gets a man so far.

Car:

99 Ford Ranger, Work truck/Daily Driver

2013 Harley Davidson V-Rod Custom

Strengths: Body Repair and Paint: While not certified nor formerly trained, Clint keeps up to date with this world of car repair and paint. He is a great pin stripper, air brush artist and everything else in between.

Gambling: In races and sometimes in the casino. Lady luck can be a fickle mistress but her allure is hard to resist. You win some, you lose some.

Marksmen: Clint grew up around guns and likes to go to the range often. He is good with both pistols and rifles, never shot anything high caliber but he is sure he could hit a target if need be.

Steady hand and nerves: While racing he managed to keep his wits even in stressful situations, almost as if time could slow down for him (not really). This carries over to his day to day, not that he has much to worry about but it was blatantly obvious in a race.

Weaknesses:
Gambling: In races and sometimes in the casino. Lady luck can be a fickle mistress but her allure is hard to resist. You win some, you lose some.

Greenhorn: New to the Miami Scene but not the town, Clint is still looking to make contacts and find some people to have a beer with over at his favorite bar.

Benched: Clint doesn't have a car at the moment but that doesn't stop him from going to the races.

Overconfident: (Racing) - "Yea I can get through..." His last words before he totaled his car. Despite steel nerves and hand, he sometimes lets his overconfidence, cloud his judgement. There is a reason he doesn't have a car at the moment.

Go ahead and give yourself a racing oriented weakness Chree, maybe a he's not good at Straight Aways or Drifting.
