Tokyo 2017. The streets are overflowing with life and action. The newest trend, called Air Treck has captured the hearts of many young Teenagers, who use these electrical Inliners to do risky tricks and fight alone or in teams for higher ranks.
These so called Storm Riders try to get closer and closer to the sky, flying through the air like they were born with a pair of wings. For many of them, just this enough, for others it's their goal to reach the highest rank and become a so-called 'King', someone who's atop of most other riders.
A lot of young riders try to get there, but it's a long way until one reaches that level and even harder to achieve it at all.



Plot​

Currently, the world of AT is on the brink of chaos.
An unknown person or Team has started to kill high ranking Storm Riders, mostly kings. The only sign they leave is their emblem on the dead body, a typical theater mask, half of the face smiling, half of it frowning. Their first victim was the Sky King, followed by the Fang Queen, the Thunder Queen and the Flame King.
From what were originally 9 kings only 5 are left and Riders all over Japan start to get concerned about their safety and what is about to happen next.
Then again, not all are like this, and there are several Teams who abuse this shift in power by trying to take the open spaces for themselves.
And this is where our journey to the sky starts. We are a new founded Team called 'Armageddon', most of us pretty new in the scene and met through an internet forum post or a flyer in the city:

Current Kings​

Sonia Road Gaia Road Ring Road Lather Road Over Road
  • [fieldbox="Sonia Road, goldenrod, dashed, 10"]
    Thorn King Flash
    99R2Dr3.png
    Former Thunder King, Flash declared himself the current boss of the kings, due to recent events, gaining a lot of hate but equally as much of support. He gives himself usually calm on the outside and tries to find the ones who murdered his friends. His real name's unknown.
    His Team is called 'Thunderwave', their emblem is a yellow fox running on a wave which writes out the Teams name.[/fieldbox]
  • [fieldbox="Gaia Road, goldenrod, dashed, 10"]
    Stone King Aaron
    sG4Qi3X.png
    Aaron, more often called 'Forest' is known as the biggest asshole in Japan. He tends to say out exactly what he thinks in a way that makes a lot of people hate him. No one knows his actual face, since he's always hiding it under a black hood. Also, he has a thing for sweets, he got lots of them on him pretty much at all times. He's often seen with his best friend, 'Joker', who wears the same coat, just in white. Aaron helps out Volkner currently, and after the Fang Queen was murdered he joined his Team to pose a bigger threat.[/fieldbox]
  • [fieldbox="Ring Road, goldenrod, dashed, 10"]
    Pledge Queen Jamie
    ajdL27M.png
    Not much is known about Jamie, since she isn't actively riding anymore. She has a big shop selling AT's in Tokyo, even though it's pretty hidden and looks shady, most Riders know of its whereabouts. She doesn't tune for a single person anymore, but instead decided on doing it for everyone. Back in the days, people used to call her 'Flying Sea' due to her white and blue hair.[/fieldbox]
  • [fieldbox="Lather Road, goldenrod, dashed, 10"]
    Water King Deep Sea
    jMGPgVm.png
    His real name unknown, Deep Sea has a mostly cold personality. He usually kills all of his challengers if they battle for his Regalia. The only person he ever left alive during such a battle was Jamie when he took the Regalia from her, reasons unknown. He's very infamous for his behaviour, but he doesn't really care. His Team's called 'Deep Sea' too, his Emblem's a Sea Devil, the name of the team is part of its body.[/fieldbox]
  • [fieldbox="Over Road, goldenrod, dashed, 10"]
    Rumble Queen Cynthia
    LoC3n9j.png
    Mostly known as 'Mystic'. Since these accidents started to occur, Mystic left her Team, trying to find the culprit solo. She doesn't really care about Flash much less listens to him. She is very impulsive but kind at heart and always listens to others problems.[/fieldbox]

Explanations for the ones new to this series
​
Air Trecks Storm Riders/Kings/Roads/Regalias Link Tuner Classes Parts War
  • [fieldbox="Air Trecks, goldenrod, dashed, 10"]Air Trecks are a variation of Inliners, working with high end technology that is used all over the world. They have motors build in them so that far jumps and high speed are easily possible. Even driving up on buildings, jumping from one to another is possible. In later fights of the original manga, people could go so far as to jump from one jet to another. AT's have inbuilt cards that save the data of a rider, saving their progress for example for later analysis.
    AT's are made out ofvery different parts or rare so that it is possible to have very unique ones. ATs most commonly have 2 wheels, but there are also some built with 3 or 4 whels on each AT.[/fieldbox]
  • [fieldbox="Storm Riders/Kings/Roads/Regalias, goldenrod, dashed, 10"]Storm Riders are the people who use AT's in contests for different goals. They fight to get better, gain parts or even the so called Regalias. Most Riders develop a unique driving technique, their own 'Road' to drive on.
    Each Road usually has a king, a really skilled Rider equipped with a regalia.

    A Regalia is a piece of machinery built in an AT that lets its user do unique Tricks, sometimes even things close to supernatural stuff as producing flames, controlling parts of the earth or sea. The possibilities differ from each Regalia, but are always incredibly strong.
    If a Regalia is won in a Parts War, that doesn't automatically mean, that a member could just use it and become a king, because to activate a Regalia, special tricks are needed, which are usually learned by the Storm Riders of the same road.
    A road may also produce subroads or even an evolution of said road, there are no real 'rules' to it.[/fieldbox]
  • [fieldbox="Link Tuner, goldenrod, dashed, 10"]In high class riding, Storm Riders start to need a Link Tuner, someone who can repair their AT's and tune them to a level that surpasses even A-Class. A high ranking team may need such a Tuner to keep their AT's in good condition and even improve them personally for a member. Most kings have their very own Link Tuner for their Regalias.[/fieldbox]
  • [fieldbox="Classes, goldenrod, dashed, 10"]The class system helps riders to teach them the basic knowledges of driving Air Treck. To progress to a higher class, either you have to win 3 Parts Wars in the same class or one in a higher ranking.

    The basic classes are F-C, while the advanced are B and A. The usual disciplines for these classes are:

    F-Class
    The normal dash is this class' discipline. These sprints are usually done 1-on-1 on a flat ground


    E-Class
    Class E's challenge is called 'Hurdle'. It's a lot like class F, just with bigger structures like buildings and such in the way.


    D-Class
    Class C is called 'Cube'. This Parts War is a 1-on-1 fight in a closed room. The size of the room isn't set specifically, it can be small or as big as a school gym for example. The first person to be K.O. looses.


    C-Class
    The C-Class Parts War is 'Air'. This is a Teamfight on 10 platforms of unspecified size. The platforms are taken down one after another by time and the last team to stand atop wins.


    B-Class
    The B-Class fight is called 'Disc'. The goal of this Class' fight is to get a set amount of points in 3 different sets. The disc has to be transported to a specific ares to gain a point. If one holds the disc, they may attack any person of the enemy team, while the enemy team may only attack the holder of the disc. Of course one can pass it on to a team member. If anyone breaks the attacking rule, the enemy team gets a point.


    A-Class
    The hardest class, it's called 'Balloon'. This fight is usually a 5-on-5 in which each member tries to capture the balloon in which each teams emblem is stuck. Before the start of the battle, different roles are set for each member, though not all roles have to be set:

    -Panther--> Only the Panther of a team may touch the balloon, if anyone else does, said team will be disquallified. It's best to keep the role of the panther hidden from the enemy Team.

    -Decoy--> Pretending to be the panther to get the enemy teams' attention.

    -Ultimate--> The attacker, fighting the enemy teammembers

    -Middle--> Support for Panther, Decoy and Ultimate

    -Keeper--> Tanking the enemies attacks, or blocking them. The shield of the team.[/fieldbox]
  • [fieldbox="Parts War, goldenrod, dashed, 10"]A so called Parts War is a contest between single Storm Riders or Teams between each other. They fight for different prizes, mostly for AT Parts, but there are also fights over the different Emblems of a Team. Loosing your Emblem means being instantly disbanded.[/fieldbox]

[fieldbox="Rules and other notes, goldenrod, dashed, 10"]
- First of all, this RP will probably contain a bit of fighting, but I won't stop you from writing anything as long as it sounds reasonable and you're not godmodding.

- The second thing is that I took out ALL of the canon characters, pretty much because I don't want to interefere with the original world.

- I'm looking for about 4-5 more players here.

- If we don't get the needed amount of players, you may also have a second character.

- I'd also love to have either a Co-GM or people willing to design Parts Wars with different Teams, because I will also play a character in this RPG myself and it would be easier for me this way. Of course I will still lead the story progression, for example important fights or events, but if you want to start a subplot, just leave me a message and you can have the lead until then!

- That said, I don't mind if you make up subplots or NPCs or whole Teams, as long as you guys don't start 3 different things at once, if you know what I mean.

- I don't expect perfect or huge posts, since I myself am pretty new to writing long texts in english, but I do expect more than 3 sentences per post. I am native German, so excuse me if I make mistakes, if I do some really bad errors please feel free to correct me, I want to get better at this. :>[/fieldbox]



If there are any questions, don't hesitate to ask or if I didn't explain something properly, just say so.
If there are questions about character creations, leave me a message too :>
I hope that, whoever read this far is still in this with me! If you are, feel free to post a character sheet and lets enjoy the skies together!

Firstly thank you for expressing interest. I will have to ask that you please remove your post from the IC. @Snowball @rechonq and I will need to review your cs before you are allowed to post.

Upon reading your cs I have a few questions.
1. What is Weasel's current storm rider level F class being beginner S class being Pro.
2. in your bio it states that he is a genius at building and strategy, does that mean he is a tuner?

I have removed my post from the IC. Sorry for any inconvenience I have caused, I'm quite new to this site.
To answer your questions:
1.G Class
2. Yes, he would be a tuner
Hope this clears things up!

G class meaning he cannot ride at all?
 
@ThatOneThiccBoi I need to know if Weasel can ride to know where to put him. If he can we can meet up in the park, if not then we need to actively look for a tuner.
 
@ThatOneThiccBoi 's CS could fit... I mean, personally, I'm a little squick about putting essentially a defenseless child in repeated harm's way given the nature of the RP's violence and story so far... but it has potential for story points?

Also, I'm sorry, I've been insanely sick, so aside from peeking in, I haven't felt well enough to do anything ^_^'

I feel the same way, which is why I asked if he could ride at all. If not we could have an issue keeping him alive but since he doesn't have a regalia he should be somewhat safe
 
I think it should definitely be fine. He'll just get better with us. I mean Drop is only E class at best for now. Having a tuner would be awesome too.
 
Appearance:
https://i.imgur.com/6b7YXusm.jpg

Jin stands at an impressive height of 6'1 and weighing 169 pounds.
Eye Colour: Heterochromia Blue(Left eye ) Black (right)
Jin has Raven black hair. He has tan skin and has a slender but athletic body with wiry muscles like an Olympic swimmer. And excellent upper and lower body strength.
Jin is often seen wearing a black long-sleeved shirt under his favourite black jacket which he rarely takes off unless it is extremely hot, wearing black denim skinny jeans and black plimsoll. He wears two necklaces one that has the Celtic Cross and another that is shaped in a snarling wolf.


Name:
Jin Daniels

Storm Rider Alias:
Kage

Age:
19

Personality:
Jin is rather lazy, he would rather sleep than actually do any kind of work. He is sarcastic most of the time and usually very mocking towards people with his mocking politeness, Jin is quick to analyze any situation and is quick to find a way to overcome it rather easily as well as being able to keep calm under extreme pressure.
He is able to tolerate most things despite being cynical and dark towards them, such as loud people or naturally disruptive people but he would come off as severely sarcastic towards them in general.

Jin can be quite stubborn when he wants to be and rarely anything can change his mind once he has set him himself for something. Jin prefers quite as he is rather silent in everything he does due to him learning how to steal just about anything from his time on the streets. He can move about without making a squeak of noise and likes the dark more than the light.

Jin's past as an orphan has shaped him in many different ways and has made him the person he is today. Due to his past as an orphan and the fact that he was always sent back to the orphanage by the family he had thought would finally take him in as one of their own. After being sent back to the orphanage for the third time, he had become disillusioned with the prospect of ever leaving the orphanage before the age of eighteen and by then he had become highly sarcastic as well as cynical towards the matrons and other kids at the orphanage who had hopes of leaving the orphanage with a kind family.

Talents:
Parkour: the sport of moving along a route, typically in a city, trying to get around or through various obstacles in the quickest and most efficient manner possible, as by jumping, climbing, or running. Jin is an excellent traucer(Someone who participates in parkour) as he had been trained in the art by his mentor and father figure, Jase for years. He would frequently use these skills of his to evade capture from police who were after him after he had been caught stealing something or even if he wanted to keep his skills sharp, he would intentionally provoke a chase. Jin's style when riding incorparates alot of parkour moves, this makes him an idle panther as he is able to move around his terrain with ease using what he learn from parkour.

Pickpocketing/Stealing: Jin is a talented pickpocketer as he learned from the very best. His mentor Jase was a master pickpocket who taught him all the necessary skills in order to steal for a living, and Jin's skills only got better when they were hired to steal artifacts or money from different people. Jin is skilled enough to pickpocket civilians while having conversations with them.

Background:
Jin was on the run from the police when he spotted a pair of air treks in a nearby store, slowing down he stared at the air treks captivated unable to look away for some reason, that was until he heard the call from the cops to stop running in which he took off again but not before memorising the stores name as he was definitely coming back from those air treks he thought to himself.

As he ran he ducked into a nearby alleyway where he scaled the nearby building using the parkour skills he had learnt over the years. As he watches down below as the police were confused on where he had run off to, his mind came back to one thought and that was to get himself a pair of air treks.Waiting for the Police to leave the area, Jin made his way back to the store making sure to keep out of sight, skulking in the shadows and back alleys of the town until he reached his destination. Staring through the store window he was once again mesmerised at the sight of them before taking out his pick locking equipment and getting to work on the store's door. Hearing the telltale sign of the door unlocking Jin made his way inside where he walked over to the display window and reached out to the air treks, as he was about to reach it Jin heard a voice calling out "What are you doing?" in an Australian accent.

"Shit" Jin mumbled as he froze before turning around hoping he could get the drop on the person as he turned around though he recognised the said person as a kid from his class. The new Australian kid who's parents owns an AT store. *Of all the stores* Jin thought to himself. "Hey I know you your Jin right?" The kid said before continuing "I'm Martin", he said before looking over Jin's shoulder at the item behind him. "You ride?" Martin asked. Jin surprised at the question managed to croak out an answer, "no I don't... at least not yet anyways". Jin replied almost mumbling. Jin glanced at Martin who seemed to be smiling at him, *The hell is he smiling at?* Jin wondered before Martin spoke once again. "Take 'em". Martin said, "you can have them, but you have to come here every Monday in order to practise if you agree I'll delete the video footage and tell my parents I have no clue what happened".Jin's eyes bugged out as he was in shock, *What the heck, what is this guy thinking is he a dumbass?* Jin wondered before asking the question verbally. "The hell do you mean, I mean why are you doing this?" Jin questioned in confusion. "Well, in all honesty, I don't really know I just think that your gonna be great with AT's and I wanna be the one to say I knew before all that". Martin answered honestly and with that Jin grabbed the At's and left but not before agreeing to the conditions and saying his thanks.

A few months later and Jin is riding home after beating a team in a D class parts war, snickering to himself as he skated through the empty streets, the only sound that could be heard were the low hum of the AT's motor beneath his feet and the clanking of the AT parts he had just won in his rucksack.

Looks good. Just to give you the heads up this is a pretty slow paced Rp where we sometimes only post once a week or so. i'll just need to check in with @Snowball and @rechonq since we inherited this rp. What do you guys think? we already got a few people but a few dropped.
 
I'm okay with it kuro

Also, excuse my absence. i've had a great deal happen in my life recently. There have been a number of deaths in the family, a great deal of trouble with work, and tomorrow, i have a consultation for a surgery that I need to get. All this and more has me a bit distracted at the best of times and outright overwhelmed at others.
