God dammit Dynamo.... Don't put me on a nostalgic feel train with that GIF!
Our squad still has sooo many entertaining sorties to embark on!
@bluetommy2 if you think you wont be able post for a couple days, would you object if I post again to determine the enemy actions this time round, just for the sake of pacing.
Flicker Fury: Can alter any jab into a 'flicker' jab for less damage but with higher counter penalties for the opponent.
Fancy Footwork: As long as her hitpoints are above 60 she has an extra 'move' command each turn.
Granite Chin: Will never dizzy from a standing strike.
Gatling Girl: Chain two specials together once per round.
Overview: The adopted daughter of the great DuShane 'Duke' Daniels, Callie could throw combos before she could walk. She slept, ate, and breathed everything boxing. Movie nights would be watching tape of classic fights and story time was simply various boxing encyclopedias. She racked up an amateur record of 112-0 by the age of 22 and then soon turned pro. The only problem was, she absorbed and lived boxing so much, she never really found the love for it. And only seemed to compete because it was the one thing she knew she was the best at. But competition was easy, and her fights were either brutally short, or her arrogance would have her toy with her opponents in a classless manner before destroying them. After becoming champ at 25, she decided it was time to do something else. It wasn't until her bad attitude got her in a street fight with kung fu fighter which she lost, did she find the true love for fighting again. Now it was time for the 'Queen Of The Ring' to test herself against various disciplines, to see the true extent of her boxing abilities.
Special Attacks:
One, Two, Third: A jab, straight followed with a low body hook. Good stun properties.
Smash and Grab: A fast 'smash' punch immediately followed with a single collar tie clinch with the other hand.
Sting like a Wasp: An evasive circle step followed by a pivoting check hook.
Queen's Scepter: A simple, amazingly fast and heavy haymaker punch with a high chance of knockdown.
Keys To Victory:
Callie is a viciously fast and effective puncher but has almost no kicking technique. Her grappling is also abysmal but she is an expert at standing striking, measuring distance and keeping her opponents on the end of her punches. Depending on your opponent, you might want to bum rush with combos and keep stunning your opponent to pile on finishing damage quickly, or stick and move to wear down and frustrate your opponent, take full advantage of counters to land high volumes of strikes at openings.

He came to Neo-City to learn about 'The Fighter's Path' a legendary pilgrimage said to bring great frotune to those who wish to take it.
Gameplay-wise Ryo-ji is an effective and easy to use striker, with good hard hitting combos and overall balanced stats and no weaknesses, though his grappling game is fairly underdeveloped. He is also a polite man with experience of traveling the world, and most find him easy to get on with.

Monkey King: An immediate acrobatic maneuver of your choice is successfully performed. Once per round
Cunning Cobra: While his health is above 70 he will have counter bonuses.
Overview: Han was always too energetic and competitive for his class at the dojo. He was interested in fighting but never spirituality. Although a heroic young man with a good heart. His hotheaded nature means that he would never graduate as a Shaolin and has instead chosen to find his own path in the world. Honing his skills as a warrior in the wild open world of combat. Also an amazing cook.

Technique: 6
Strength: 8

Street Magnet: Is incredibly difficult to throw off his feet. Opponents must take bonus penalties to attempt it.
Handcuff: Grip is very difficult to break. Added penalties to escape.
Iron Cop: Is immune to 'broken' state.
Overview: A proud cop from a proud family of cops. Marcus was always willing to go the extra distance to challenge himself in his department. So he took one of the riskiest undercover roles as possible in the violent area of Neo-City's South Side. Although he carries a fire-arm Marcus despises death and has instead built upon his childhood martial art of Judo, mixing in street fighting to better suit his current environment. He would rather stop and drop his opponents with technique before using a deadly weapon. In and between major cases, Marcus finds himself in street fighs with those who want to prove themselves against him. With a large reputation on his block, he has found he has a taste for keeping that rep as the toughest around.
Special Attacks:
Street Sweeper: A fast and effective leg sweep tripping throw. Will instantly ground an opponent. Damage varies on surface of the floor.
Dirtnap: A wrist trap followed by a heavy over shoulder throw that grounds both Marcus and the opponent. The initial wrist trap can be used to counter a punch.
Charlie Horse: A dirty and heavy punch to the back of the opponent's leg. Starts with a pivot and has high stunning ability along with possible speed penalties.
Biker Crank: A wrenching modified arm-bar grappling attack. Can be used as a 'flying armbar' from a standing position, though is harder to attempt.
Stomp The Yard: A heavy, dual purpose foot stomp that can be used to trample an opponents foot as a surprise attack. Or as a follow up on a downed opponent.
Keys To Victory:
Marcus is best when he is up close and personal. Roughhousing in the closest of quarters and making it a brutal streetfight. Utilise his grappling skills to throw your opponent around the arena into hopefully hard walls, floors and anything else around. His striking is very limited (1 combo chain) and is best used as a 'surprise' tactic when option are running out.

Smart Mouth: Can occasionally cause, Shock, Berserk or Break with taunts.
Lockpick: Can automatically escape one grapple hold per match.
Overview: Jacqi was born to fight, her parents speculated that's she probably has the same 'gene' as her scrappy cousin Han. Thrown out of every school she every attended for fighting.

Supergirl Punch: A fast flying over hand punch that closes the distance between the two combatants. Will leave Jacqi vunerable if it misses.
Keys To Victory:
Jacknife's true strength is with her versatility. She can pose a threat from any distance and aspect of combat, and has a plethora of moves and techniques to creatively keep your opponent guessing. Her stats are not super impressive though and she is a little bit of a glass cannon with her low toughness and hitpoints. So you don't want to take too many chances. Although her high charisma makes her taunting abilities an attractive gamble.

After the death of his grandfather who inspired him to wrestle. He began to look further into his family tree to discover he actually was a descendant of Viking Warlords, and then took a 5 year hiatus from the pro-circuit. To travel to the mountains to put himself through truly hardcore training that he felt was 'viking' appropriate. Now back to civilization after half a decade of solitude. He know wants to prove himself as a fighter outside of the ring. To do his family proud as a warrior.

Keys To Victory:
The Frost Raider's slow movement make it difficult for him to approach or escape, but once he is in close range he is absolutely devastating. Focus on landing big wrestling moves not only for damage but for the psychologic effect both on you and your opponent. Don't think too defensively your Raider Armor ability will provide you the resistance to close the gap and wreak havoc.

Ivy hopes to turn the family business into a legitimate fighting enterprise so has put everything into promoting her fight cards.

Ms Volkov simply read the first name she saw on a discarded name tag (not even sure if it was her) and took it as her own. Every now and again she has nightmares about ferocious combat experiences which seem to be pieces of her memory slowly coming back to her. After a month of dreams and drifting from area to area she finally comes across the Yakuza-run X-1 tournament and her memory starts to kick in about the organization and realises that her past will only be uncovered through fighting.

The Warhawk excels in her ability to control positions, basically keeping the fight where she wants it. Luckily she has tools to be formidable almost anywhere. To maximize damage, focus on getting injury inducing holds and then dispatching your opponent with fast solid combo strikes. The key is to pick your moments to go on the offense to make the most of your toolset.
@BurningDaisies@Grey@Genkai would this be taking place in the Adv Thread or is it possible to be moved to PM? I'm not sure the maturity level of this story but maybe if you wanted to make slightly more detailed romance scenes it might be useful in a more private setting, but its up to you.
@BurningDaisies Somehow...I'm not at all surprised by your efforts. Gosh, I may as well make you co-GM at the end of the day lol
@Dynamo Frokane You will be playing "Sibling 2 From Hoshido - A younger male stubborn, passionate soul who isn't afraid to speak up." And yes this is more like Revelations down the middle. I'll be Sibling 1 from Hoshido and two twins who have placed themselves in each kingdom to rally some forces together. However I'm not trying to copy the game's storyline. And based on your question, I assume you won't need an info drop (so to speak) in the OOC?
Okay so are these two twins against each other? Or are the twins, along with the4 siblings, all working together from the start? And yeah I'll be fine on lore, I've played the games.
