Well, the reason I chose Cuba is because I felt I could get a good dynamic out of it-there's a song that sums up the contradictions of Cuba-and what it could still mean quite nicely:

The....current state of the area of North America would take away alot of the income they get from tourism-scaring them away if nothing else, but it'd also provide a strange chance, to become a power, while the region is in chaos. A mixture of troubles and hope. Taking advantage of the chaos to try to carve out something bigger for themselves. Just spitballing of course, this could all be utterly off base.

Hm.

Anything been written about the state of the Caribbean in this setting?

@Ophidian

No i havent actually touched on the carribean yet, which would actually allow you to sort of write in your own ideas as its currently a blank slate :)

By the way, this bomber-fighter is pretty cool

Eh, I'm not really 'feeling' that sort of character-what's the point in drawing something up if lack of interest just ensures I end up neglecting it, you know?

This type of game, this tone, I always tend to go commie.

Was going to sort of base the guy off some of the fertile ground the Caribbean provides, in regards to ideology, but if that's already filled, I'm basically out of ideas.

@Ophidian

Hmmmm, how about the french-carribean quarter? or maybe some sort of Cajun?

and I just wanted a bit of nostaligia with that pic, no biggie :)

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>



And that'll work.

I know you didn't want another euro-style commie in the game. So I was wracking my brain, trying to figure out a solution.

Then I remember Cuba was a thing. And Cuba is close enough to have....interests...in the region I imagine.

Plus, spicy hot pilot with a spanish accent.

...

Okay it mostly boiled down to the last point.

@Ophidian

We already have a spanish speaker!

But a good ol fashioned piece of hot american apple pie might be a good bet.

Remember This?

You weren't. Was just messing with you. :3

@Slypheed

youre getting me back for my memes aint ya

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>
Hmmm, I normally prefer dog-fighters tbh. What kind of bomber we talking-big bulky thing or something more like a fighter-bomber?



.....

he'll work.

@Ophidian

mmm yes he will work..indeed.

And yes definately more of a fighter bomber, if you read Verduax's posts in the IC his hunter class is able to tangle in the skies pretty damn well. And yours can be more focused on speed as apposed to artillery.

Geez, you don't have to be so rude.
:P

@Slypheed

How was I rude?!

<Snipped quote by Ophidian>

I remember that pic you used of that guy smoking a cigarette at the air base <3

Get to work on a CS as soon as you can darling.

@Dynamo Frokane

Will do.

*Dives in stock of pretty boy pictures*

I'll surface with something eventually.

I miss anything important?

@Dynamo Frokane

Nope! you can catch yourself up on the story by just reading the IC up to where it stopped. By the way, wether or not Verdeux comes back, back we have space for another Hunter Class Pilot (Bomber) would you like to take that role?

Ive got your characters entry into the group all figured out, but make a start on the CS and I'll fill you in from there.

AND WE ARE OFF! remember to refer to the rules and the track, the Commentary will be coming in frequently just to keep everybody in the know where all the cars are and what's happening. Try to be as clear with your driving as possible as we want to visualize this accurately. Remember this is only the first race, so drive competetive but dont kill your character trying to win!

Dystopian Grand Prix

The Commentators: Rob & Griff

Name: Robert Nivens and Stanley Griffin
Age: 29 & 32

Apperance:


Bio: Two Ex-Musicians who's careers took a nose-dive when their record label was bought out by a building corporation. They both had to work jobs as Radio DJs for small embarrassing stations until they landed the career of a lifetime. To be Commentators for the Dystopian Grand Prix. Robert (on the left) is the play by play commentator and Griff (on the right) provides colour commentary and background.

Start Your Engines

Rob:
Well I gotta say Griff, I am absolutely loving the weather today, its always nice to be able to be working here in Sunny San Francisco, the drivers look happy dont they?

Griff:
You can say that again Rob, and they better make the most of it in this light promo race because lord knows most of the race tracks in this Grand Prix aren't this Luxurious, know what I mean?

Rob:
I certainly do, these 10 are a lucky bunch to have started on the sun soaked tourist trap course, and its a gentle intro into the competetion. As we know this is only a promo race to get the fans and investors excited but its still a race that will have some effect on their competitive records and online rankings so I can see them all fighting to put on the best show possible, looks like all the racers are in their cars now...

The crowds cleared the streets and all of the holo camereas began to hover around the track, the crowds at home and on site were all screaming. There was a few fans in the crowd but all individual chants were being drowned out by rival fans..apart from one chant.

DILL-DAN, HE'S OUR MAN, DILL-DAN, WERE YOUR FANS!!

Griff:
Ahh I see #11 Dillion Daniels has a few fans in the crowd, apparently his somewhat wild lifestyle off the track has gotten him quite a following on social media, maybe we can get him to follow us back if he survives this race, Rob?

Rob:
Well he would owe us for the free advertising you just gave him.......I can now here the engines roaring, the race lights are about to switch on. I can hear the Stylo roaring the loudest, Riku Gracer's Throwback Muscle Car gets a lot of attention with that sound. I don't now how well it will fair though, guess we can only wait and see.

Griff:
Riku 'The Kid' Gracer is a bit of a dark horse for this race, according to our online polls, The Cyberpunk, The Mask and The Tech Junkie are the favourites among our younger viewers. But The Rockabilly is the favourite among racing enthusiasts, this should be interesting indeed....Oh here comes the countdown, hold on to your seats folks!

READY....

SET......

GO!!!!!!

The screeching tires was painful to the ears, all 10 cars hit the gas right off the switch and propelled into forward momentum trying to find prime position in the first milliseconds of the race. There were no collisions as the track is fairly wide and gave room to manuver into appropriate lanes.

Rob:
And they are off! damn that's a pretty sight, watching the cars fall into position like that, it looks like #13 Alex Sturlson, #27 Jimmy Brown and #18 Moira McCarthy have the superior Accelleration and are all pretty much tied leading the pack neck and neck alongside each other, I wonder if this is going to end up with any rough stuff with the drivers so close to each other Griff.

Griff:
Well for the most part the rest of the pack is pretty much in one bunch not too far behind them, with Rayla Keroza in a slight lead of the middle pack in 4th place and the #82 The Mask a little ways behind in last place, low acceleration but a damn scary vehicle all the same, how will this race play out?

I was waiting on sylpheed, but its probably best just to start the race. Ya'll ready to burn rubber?
