Back from the gym. Gonna miss James Earl Jones. His voice was legendary

Morning

Got two styles in mind for them to use when they're not serious, with Drunken Fist being one. Might have them use Dishuquan/Dog Kung Fu to go with it, mainly so they're a threat even while lying down

As for what the OC could use once they're serious...I'm still working on that

A highly skilled/experienced fighter with an unorthodox or even outright goofy fighting style that shows off their full skill level once they get serious. Thinking of taking inspiration from Jackie Chan specifically, and maybe the style of Drunken Fist/Boxing

Think I got an idea for a CoTS OC for the first time in a while

I'll probably try it eventually

As long as it's chocolate, I'm probably interested

Sounds interesting

If they can catch Al Capone, I'd rather not take my chances

I won't need to worry about the FBI. The IRS however...

I'm kinda not surprised

Kinda wish I didn't recognize that guy now

Night. Gonna leave these here as Rin's unofficial theme and one for when she's fighting

Name: Rin Kuroki

Alias: The Phantom

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Appearance:

Age: 24

Personality: Calm and quiet, Rin is often described as a silent assassin, both in and unfortunately outside the ring. She’s stoic, perceptive, and pragmatic, often to the point of sociopathy. When genuinely angered, she demonstrates tranquil fury, and tends to take it out on those who caused it.

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Lesbian

Pronouns: She/Her

Occupation: Middleweight Boxing Champion

Skills:

• Boxing Mastery: Genuine passion and years of training have resulted in Rin becoming one of the best female boxers in the world. Her speed, precision, and timing are particularly exceptional, as her skill level ensures even her weaker strikes can be devastating.

• Karate Expertise: As a hobby done out of passion for most of her life, Rin is also a highly skilled karateka. Having trained mainly in Gosoku-ryu, she uses fast footwork to increase the speed and power of her strikes, as well as avoid and counter her opponent’s.

• Intimidating Glare: Rin is capable of easily intimidating others through eye contact. This tactic of hers is often nicknamed the “Void Stare” due to her eyes, personality, and skills.

• Stealth Proficiency

• Tranquil Fury

Vulnerabilities:

• At times, she can struggle to genuinely sympathize with others.

• She has social anxiety, and it’s most notable giving interviews or talking to large groups of people.

• Rin is sensitive to heat, mainly resulting in excessive sweating and fatigue in warmer seasons or environments. If she remains hot for too long, she’ll gradually become tired and light headed, potentially to the point of fainting.

• She’s a well known thalassophobe, often trying to avoid even being near the ocean for extended periods of time.

Backstory: Born to a middle class family in Asahikawa, Japan, Rin was always an oddity compared to others. She hated spending time around anyone who was a friend or relative, was quiet enough that she was believed to be mute, and struggled relating to others. Around the age of 11, she developed an interest in martial arts, which quickly developed into passion after she started training. Over the years, Rin would gradually learn to better mask her unusual traits, but still felt relatively little interest in anything other than her passion. By the time she was old enough to become a professional boxer, she’d already fought in and won dozens of amateur matches and tournaments, and took the chance to go pro as soon as she could. At the age of 20, she became the women’s super welterweight champion, and vacated her title to move up a weight class a year later. Rin then became the middleweight champion at the age of 22, and has maintained her position ever since.

Extra Info:

• She’s 5’10” and fluent in Japanese, English, and Korean.

• In boxing matches, she uses a variety of tactics to gain the advantage, such as wearing down an opponent’s shoulders, controlling or breaking their guard, and using footwork to both enhance her strikes and corner her opponent.

• Her nickname comes from her appearance, demeanor, and fighting style. In particular, she’s known for disappearing from her opponent’s vision through footwork, timing, and speed.

• The Void Stare’s name comes from the fact that those she’s used it on describe it as “staring into a cold, empty void.”

• Rin has gotten into street fights twice during her professional career. She wasn’t prosecuted for either due to both being ruled as self-defense.

• At one point, she stalked a podcaster in Tokyo that insulted her. Though she wasn’t charged with anything, she did become the source of various other rumors.

• One year ago, Rin bribed a rival’s promoter into stealing some of their pay and sharing it via money laundering. After receiving the money, she stored it, spent it later on, and arranged for the promoter to be prosecuted without her involvement being revealed.

• When speaking, she has a quiet, high pitched voice. If she’s annoyed or angered, her voice becomes monotone, if she decides to speak at all.

Good to know

Also, do the OCs have to be from/live in the same place?

Think I've got an idea now:

Pro Boxer with sociopathic traits that may or may not have:

1. Gained two battery charges from getting into street fights

2. Stalked a podcaster who trash talked her

3. Bribed an opponent's promoter to take some of their pay and give it to her via money laundering
