    Before we begin:

    Please make sure you have read the Basic Roleplaying Rules first!!

    Also, before playing this RP, I highly suggest either watching the anime, reading the manga, or at least reading the Wiki page. It has a lot fo usful information which may help you in your character creations and such.

    Contact me for details if you can't find the anime and/or manga.

    This RP is based on the anime version of the series, as that's what most people will be familiar with. But, if we're lucky and get a second season (which'll expand and explain alot more), then there's no reason our character's can't grow along-side it within this RP. This means that, for the moment, nothing about Gravity Children, Brain Chargers, etc, are to be mentioned. There's no reason your character can't be involved in something currently manga-only, but it's not to mentioned/revealed unless we get our second season, or we're all up-to-date on the manga and/or ready to move forward ourselves.

    I'm allowing up to three characters per player to start with, but if you wanna have more, then feel free to contact me about it and we'll take it from there. Also, you don't have to put a massive amount of information into your character profile. There may be some stuff that you'd like to keep hidden for now and reveal later or something. Plus, characters personalities and such are likely to grow and take shape as the RP goes on and we get a real feel for both our own and eachother's characters.

    It's up to you if you want your character to already be involved in a Team or not. Totally your choice. Same goes for what Level/Class they are, but I'd suggest not having something too high or there'll just be nothing to play for.

    For your bio, you'll need the following information:

    Full Name: (your character's name)
    Nick Name: (your character's nicknames)
    Age: (your character's age)
    Sex: (your character's gender)
    Height: (your character's height)
    Hair: (your character's hair colour, length and style)
    Eyes: (your character's eye colour(s))
    Clothes: (your character's clothing, including colours, and any accessories)
    Level: (your character's class level)
    Skills: (your character's skills)
    Tricks: (your character's tricks)
    Team: (your characters current team)
    Road: (your character's current road)
    Regalia: (your character's current regalia)
    Alignment: (your character's alliance)
    Personality: (your character's personality)
    Background: (your character's background)

    If you can't provide all of it then it shouldn't be too much of a problem providing we have the most important information to work with. Also, your character may not have their own Road or Regalia yet - this is fine.

    The avarage age of the main characters in Air Gear are around the teen years, though some are older, as you can prolly tell.

    If you're wondering the different between Skills and Tricks; the Skills is for basic information like if they're particularly good with jumping, flipping, speed, etc, and Tricks are for, well, moves they've learnt or made-up (usually battle related). Again, you don't need to provide this information right now, and if you do, it can be added to later as your character grows (which is another reason I suggest not making them too high a Level - the lower the Class, the more potential for growth during the RP).

    If you wanna add anything, then feel free. =D

    And if you've got any questions, suggestions, or anything else, check out the discussion topic.

    Full Name: Keitaro Ryuu
    Age: 16
    Sex: Male
    Height: 5’ 3”
    Description: Keitaro is of slight-medium build and has shoulder length black hair tied back in a topknot, with a stray lock hanging down the left side of his face. He wears a red scarf around his neck that he can pull over his mouth and nose. Over his legs, he wears a very loose fitting pair of trousers, which tuck into a pair of black boots. Around his waist, he wears a red obi. Mainly to break up the vest top and trousers

    Background: Keitaro hasn’t had the best of lives. His parents split up when he was only seven, and he remembers little, if anything, from before then. Ever since his father, left, he has been in the house with his mother and two sisters; he always did hate being the only male in the family. Living with his family was unbearable for him. He was treated very much like an outsider all the time, except when it came to chores, when he was treated more as a slave. Not once did he feel he was ever treated as part of the family.

    Because of his depressing history, Keitaro developed into a miserable person. Suffering from a deep depression, Keitaro wasn’t capable of much; or rather he never wanted to put what skills he did have to good use. He never had much confidence and would often close up around people.

    As Keitaro got older, he began sneaking out of the house during the night, just to get out of the house and have a little taste of freedom. It wasn’t long before he stumbled on the AT scene. The first time he saw Storm Riders in action was an F-Class Parts War (Dash) between Kogarasumaru and Sabel Tigers. He watched in awe from the shadows, not daring to go closer. He didn’t know it at the time, but he was actually smiling; the first time he had been happy in a long time. He thought it must’ve been the longing for the freedom he witnessed that made him want to experience ATs.

    After the popping of his AT cherry, Keitaro made it his personal mission to join in. He read all the information he could find, and eventually managed to get himself a pair of Air Treks. He’d sneak out and practice on them whenever he could. He loved the thrill and, most of all, the freedom. It didn’t take too long before he got the hang of them, and was finally on his way somewhere.

    Now, Keitaro is happiest when he is wearing his ATs; without them, he almost returns to his old depressed self. Keitaro isn’t a solitary person, but then he isn’t one for company, either. For a while, he’s just been enjoying the freedom, alone, but he has started going to the odd meeting.

    Full Name: Akiko Yanjimara

    Nick Name: Fang, Kitten, Wave King, Fin Boy, Fang King, Fang Boy, Dolphin, Dolphie, Shark, Sharkie, Bubbles, Sparrow

    Age: 15

    Sex: Female

    Height: 140cms / 4ft 5inch

    Hair: Dark pink. Shoulder-length. Parted to her left.

    Eyes: Amber yellow.

    Clothes: Originally a yellow jacket, with either a light top and bottoms combo, or a dark top and bottoms combo, or yellow bottoms. Sometimes a black jacket, with a yellow top, and baggy or flared bottoms (either jeans or jean-colour bottoms).

    Level: E Class

    Skills: Zips and Flips

    Tricks: Splash Rise - Using one leg, she rides her backflip and uses the force to drive a powerful kick upwards

    Splash Fall - Same as the Splash Rise, but with a flip forward and thus a kick downwards.

    Tail Flip - Almost the same as the Splash Rise, but using both legs, which means it needs a more powerful backflip to be pulled-off sucessfully.

    Break Fin - A powerful reverse swing kick, hitting the opponant with the back of her heel as her leg is brought round.

    Break Fin Double Snap - Same as Break Fin, but using both legs, one after the after, requiring her to use her hands for balance on the ground as the kick reaches it peak.

    Break Fin Air Snap - Same as the Break Fin Double Snap, but airboune, requiring no use of hands.

    Tail Grip Drive - She grips the opponant's head between her ankles and flips them over herself, bringing him down the ground with as much force as possible (if the opponant is standing then a flip or handstand is required in order to grab them).

    Tail Grip Air Throw - Same as the Tail Grip Drive, but airbourne, resulting in the opponant being flung in whatever direction she wishes.

    Surf Rider - She jumps on, and seemingly rides on, the back of an airbourne opponant, forcing them out of the air (if successful), and with a kick to push herself off of them before they land, driving them as hard as possible into the ground.

    Team: ---

    Road: Bubble

    Regalia: ---

    Alignment: ---

    Personality: Being a Solo Rider, Akiko relies only on herself. She learnt how to Ride on her own, and all her Tricks thus far are self-taught. She also currently acts as her own Tuner. She refuses to accept help from anyone and wants to get stronger on her own, through her own abilities and determination. She wants to be all that she can be, because of her own self, not because someone else has made her that way. Because of this, she can come across as abit of a loner, but she's actually very bouncy and affectionate, and enjoys the company of others. She lives and ride for the fun and the thrills.

    Extra Information: Though she may not be the fastest Rider, or the most hard hitting, the speeds and tricks she can do; she's not afraid to pull, or to push them (and thus herself) even further. Her flips and Tricks can sometimes seem to come out of nowhere, and the same can be said for her herself. At times it's as if she has no fear, and it's these things and more, that make her one of the Top Riders in E Class.

    Though some refer to her as Dolphin, she's also known around the Circuit as the Wave King (and by extention, Fin Boy), and occationally the Fang King, eventhough she hasn't yet to obtain the Wave Regalia or reach King Level, and her road is not currently The Bloody Road. And the King name itself implies her to be male, which leads to some surprise when she actually "comes out to play". Nobody even knows where this fake title originated from, and Akiko herself doesn't care. She likes it.

    She's probably most widely know as Fang, and also as Kitten by those who know her better.

    Full Name: Okura Oda
    Nick Name: Oku-sama, The Cog
    Age: 18
    Sex: Male
    Height: 5ft 9 inches
    Hair: Shoulder Length Straight Black hair, of which the front part of the hair drapes over his goggles
    Eyes: light green, but the left eye has a cog symbol on it, its a fashion eye lense
    Clothes: Wears goggles on his head, wears them over eyes when trecking, wears a dark green jump suit with the bottom trouser part adapted to act as hip flares that conceal his ATs but not long enough for it to trip over them, is threaded at the bottom. Usually zips down the upper part and wears a white t-shirt underneath. This is his usual style, only zips up to treck. The back of his jump-suit has a white cog symbol printed on it. Underneath all of it is his ST Suit which almost actually makes him look almost naked, but contains 7600 sensors and its sole purpose is to help read Storm Riders body stats then tune up their ATs to the best of their ability. But he has to be in full body contact with them...which is awkward, but not to him.
    Level: E
    Skills: Grind and Ride
    Tricks:
    Get Your One Minute Fix - Can fix anyone's ATs in one minute flat
    Grind Shock - Revs AT's to such a point that when he kicks an opponents ATs, their ATs wheels shatter but usually it stuns the wheels for up to five minutes. However, this stuns Okura's wheels for about minute.
    Reverse Polarity - Grind ATs to go backwards in order to avoid blows

    Team: Freelance
    Road: Ring Road
    Regalia: -
    Alignment: Freelance
    Personality: Okura keeps to himself, doesn't say much, will fix other ATs for money or because he feels like it. He's sarcastic, narcisistic and brooding. And has a habit of walking from conversations that do not interest him. Only ATs interest him. How they work, how they're built and how they are manipulated. He also has photographic memory, of which he usually utilises at memorising storm rider battles from the underground scene.
    Background: There's not much known about Okusa, he was recognised at school many years ago by some storm riders and never paid much attention to him, all he ever did was study physics and mechanics at school. Nowadays he is at every underground battle, picking up broken AT parts, fixing everyone elses for a price, and always tinkering with his ATs and creating ATs for experiments, of which he gets experienced Riders to test for him of which there is either success or the user ending in hospital. No one pisses off Okusa, back chats about him or ignore him. He is there, knows virtually every underground AT user and is valuable to the community for his skills. His main passions are to find out how AT's are created, how regalia works and how users manipulate their ATs to achieve incredible feats. Neither good nor bad, he is someone to rely on...if you have the right cash, or if you're interesting to him. Usually those who are on the Ring Road are part of Tool Toul To...but he belongs to no team...which is odd and worrying to most AT Riders, but he does good work...so no questions are asked.

    Full Name: Will Be Disclosed Later
    Nick Name: The Fox
    Age: Will Be Disclosed Later
    Sex: Male

    Eyes: Hidden By Mask

    Tricks:
    360 Carving Curve - A violent wall ride used when others are wall riding, he carves his "road" on them.
    Quick Strike Cadaver - The Fox leaps into opponents, using his AT's to cruelly quick attack his opponents into a bloody pulp

    Fangs of the Flying Fox - An air attack, The Fox goes into a spinning frenzy attacking opponents repeatedly until they fall into the ground.

    Alignment: Against those trying to go beyond E Class
    Personality: Quiet, reserved and cruel. Has little to say and shows no mercy to those that think they can defeat him.
    Background: The Fox has been involved in the underground parts wars for over a year, and his targets are usualy AT teams trying to go above E-Class. He reasons that if anyone wants to go above E-Class, they must defeat him to prove they are worthy. But he is undefeated, mysterious and feared. Yet at the same times...seems sad, like he wishes to be defeated. And more sad at how people use ATs for violence...and uses that same violence against them.

    Full Name: Nobuhiko Ryoshiro Ikoma
    Nick Name: Shiro, "Cage"
    Age: 18
    Sex: Male
    Height: 5 ft 2 inch
    Hair: Long, Dark Brown, Hanging loose except for a pony tail wrapped with rubber bands.
    Eyes: Hazel with specs of bright green.
    Clothes: A White Uwagi (Jacket) with black outlines, a black Obi and black Hakama (Wide trousers). Around and about, same style, but more urban, grey pants and singlets.
    Level: None, Shiro doesn't care for rankings and such.
    Skills: Jumps and Speed
    Tricks:
    "Stop, Drop and Roll" - Jumping just off the ground, Shiro 180's in mid air and lands on the opponents AT's, locking them down and hopefully stunning them for a short time, wherein, Shiro lets loose an intense volley of strikes to disable the opponent, then rolling off and gunning ahead.

    Team: None-as-yet, Rides with a few friend, but they are no-where near being a team
    Road: "Unknown"
    Regalia: N/A
    Alignment: FFA (All are fair game)
    Personality: "Tenacious", "Determined". These words encompass what it is to be Nobuhiko Ryoshiro Ikoma. Fighting rings, back alley brawls and even organised fights never give you enough room to do what you need but that doesn't mean he can't do anything in close quarters. His manner can be sometimes extremely gruff, but through the tough exterior is a man just out to enjoy himself and do what he loves most.
    Background: Being the short guy in school and in the neighbourhood, Nobuhiko was picked on a lot, bullied, beaten and generally harassed. When accidentally catching one of the Yakuza dealing with street trash (in their usual way), Shiro decided then and there to never take peoples harassment again. He joined two schools, Wing Chun for their ability to destroy people in close range and Karate for the control, conditioning and Balance. Ahead a few years, Nobuhiko moved to underground fighting, where all is allowed, as long as your the one still standing but this became too constrictive. When he heard of Air Gear, a free flying battle royale with people on powered roller-blades (at least, that's what he heard), Shiro was eager to start. His Karate had taught him the balance and pressure control to use AT's effectively and his Wing Chun brought his combat style to the fore-ground. Air Trek was for him.
