Fast & Furious

This is open for serious, dedicated story bookers only.

Fun Mania is the third biggest amusement/water park in the state of Indiana. Only, it's not all fun and games at the go-kart tracks. Five tracks, all unique in course layout and difficulty are home to a racing team called "Rebel Yell". Consisting of nine teens and, they practice and race every day. The younger kids either hate them or worship them, and the college kids just resent them.

Right now it's before the season, two veteran karters and one staff left the month before to go to college. It's time to recruit. The championship race is in May, which gives Rebel Yell ten months and a few days to train the newbies and create a stronger team than before.

The month is July.
The time is now.
And the race begins.

The Team's Karts

Name: June Frost

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance (include picture): http://dark-odyssey.deviantart.com/art/ ... H-61519895

Personality: Peppy peppy Go Go! She gets excited easily and people are naturally drawn to her. She is really active and can get people hyped up also. She can also care too much. And takes care of everyone else before herself. But when her trust is crossed she will be pissed.


Position(manager, leader, tech, mechanic, racer, pilot): Manager

Strengths: She is actually quite smart and can deal with people quite well.

Weaknesses: She is very emotional, her brother died in an accident on the same tracks so she is very protective of EVERYONE on the track.

Racing Dress: As the manager she sits on the sidelines, She usually wears the Rebel yell shirt, with a pair of skinny jeans. She has her own set of head phones to keep in touch with everyone on the team to make sure they are A- Ok.

Normal/Practice Dress (include picture): She usually wears whatever she feels like because she likes to race with the team. She is usually the one with the stop watches and the "Youll do better next time" smile.

How He/She Races: She used to be a racer, but she couldnt bring herself to do well in races after her brother died. She can't race but she likes the rush though.

How He/She Gets Hyped Up For A Race: She smiles and runs around making sure everything is perfect.

How He/She Handles Stress/Loss: She rides a roller coaster since its the closest thing to a racing rush.

How He/She Handles Wins: She bakes, for the entire team. She is a a sore winner.

Other: Up for love

Cool lizzifer. Each character has their own Rebel Yell shirt, though. But you're more than welcome to use the one I'm using for my character.I like your character.

See you on the tracks! XD

I claims a spot, mechanic puhlease and thankies!

I'd like to claim (a) Tech, please. I'll post a profile tomorrow, if I may.

Name: Brooklyn Justine Wright

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance: Above

Personality: Brooke is very out there. She's like in her own little world at times, especially when she's working on something. She is, however, very serious when she needs to be, and also very competitive. She has friends on many other teams, and that makes her competitive side more competitive. Some of her friends swear she has split personalities. She can be weird and cooky on second, serious the next, and then she can start screaming at another team out of nowhere.

Position: Mechanic

Strengths: She can fix almost anything in a go-kart, or any other form of transportation for that matter

Weaknesses: She's blind in her right eye after a horrid accident, as unnoticeable as it is, and often at times is scared to get behind the wheel, especially since she can't see around her everywhere. She, like other mechanics, sits on the sidelines, making sure nothing happens to her vehicles or team mates.

Racing Dress: Rebel yell shirt, boot cut jeans, black high tops, and regular sunglasses

Normal/Practice Dress: Rebel Yell shirt or tank top, skinny jeans, black etnies, and giant toy sunglasses

How He/She Races: Brooklyn was once a racer for an extremely well-known team, Screaming Scenes, but after a horrible accident that left her blind in her right eye from head trauma, the team dumped her. She can still race and will if the need rises, but she gets very... scared behind the wheel.

How He/She Gets Hyped Up For A Race: She usually wears giant toy sunglasses and listens to Numa Numa, Chacoron Macoron, or I'm Blue and will go around singing the songs to make her team mates laugh.

How He/She Handles Stress/Loss: She becomes very... annoyed? Yes, annoyed because she knows how good her team is and will challenge them to bumper cars to take her anger out.

How He/She Handles Wins: Must I really explain? She acts a complete fool.

Other: Up for love

id like to claim a pilot but i probably wont be able to post regularly until the first of august.

I call a racer!!!

Name: Tori Hayes

Age (15-19): 16

Gender: Female

Appearance (include picture): http://nikxstock.deviantart.com/art/Freckles-54586710

Personality: Tori is spunky and upbeat and extremely competitive. She is the classic tomboy, and never seems to stop moving. She is wild and passionate about racing, and has a personality that can get on people's nerves. With Tori, certain people may always end up butting heads with her, and others may appreciate her to be a great friend.

Position(manager, leader, tech, mechanic, racer, pilot): Racer

Strengths: Intimidating the other karts in front of her.

Weaknesses Not slowing down, charging into situations without giving them a thought.

Racing Dress(Must wear a "Rebel Yell" shirt - include picture): Well-worn pair of jeans, an old green hoodie, the Rebel Yell t-shirt, and these sunglasses (http://www.germesonline.com/direct/dbimage/50354841/Sunglasses.jpg)

Normal/Practice Dress (include picture): Pretty much the same as above. Tori doesn't believe in dressing up for special occasions.

How He/She Races: Bold, fast, and daring. She will pull some crazy stunt when behind the wheel.

How He/She Gets Hyped Up For A Race: She starts going through every memory of every stunt she has ever pulled in a race, and keeps them fresh in her mind during the race.

How He/She Handles Stress/Loss: She gets really snappy and reclusive, and will hardly talk to anyone.

How He/She Handles Wins: Tori celebrates in the craziest way she can think of, usually throwing a wild party for the entire team.

Other: Up for love. And even though it seems like Tori would crash tons of karts (and she has destroyed quite a few) she is actually a superb driver.

First of all, the girl/boy ratio is 4:0, so we need more guys. Next, the last two or three people who sign up for this will be the new people on the team. Lastly, once one more person signs up, we can claim if you want.

MJ

Still room here? I'll play a boy

So I'll call dibs on a boy character, mechanic. I'll be here with a profile a.s.a.p.

-Shina

Name: Geoffrey (“Geoff”) Scott

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance: Shaggy and short blonde hair, blue eyes, and some stubble covering his face.

Personality: He’s a total clown whenever he can be, but can get down to earth when need be. If you’re in a foul mood, he’ll sniff you out and joke until you either beat him up or laugh along with him. He himself is almost never in a bad mood; if he is, something is horribly, horribly wrong.

Position: Tech

Strengths: Once he sets his mind on something, he’s a bulldozer. Nothing can stop him.

Weaknesses: Once he sets his mind on something, he’s a bulldozer. Nothing can stop him from
Accidentally going overboard and ruining whatever he was trying to accomplish.

Racing Dress(Must wear a "Rebel Yell" shirt - include picture): Rebel Yell shirt (is that okay?), pants, and the same tennis shoes as in normal dress.

Normal/Practice Dress (include picture): Wears graphic T-shirts like this, jeans with slight holes, burn splotches or paint spots, and tennis shoes.

How He/She Races: He barely even knows how to steer, let alone how to race. A bit paranoid of riding in any vehicle, actually.

How He/She Gets Hyped Up For A Race: Paddleball and Speed Metal. (he’s very strange)

How He/She Handles Stress/Loss: He tries to cheer up everyone who looks like they need it, hiding his own disappointment under smiles and bad puns. (Wait a sec. Did I read that wrong? That's how he handles the team losing. If it meant how he handles, e.g. a family member dying, I can change it.) How he handles stress/personal loss: He hides it under fake smiles, letting the smiles cheer him up/relax him.

How He/She Handles Wins: Jumping, whooping, and, sometimes, shaking his be-hind at the other team.

Other: He tends to break things: windows, bones, relationships… Not that he tries too, and he’s not dumb or clumsy, he just doesn’t know his own strength/doesn’t know how to watch his tongue.

Name: Kassidy Kenton
Age (15-19): 17
Gender: Male
Appearance (include picture): http://blueyedboy.deviantart.com/art/blue-eyed-boy-with-light-brown-80584758 Thin, slender but defined. Refined facial features, deep blue eyes, and chocolate brown hair with light brown streaks from the sun. Has a tattoo behind his left ear of French Calligraphy and an eyebrow piercing.
Personality: Serious, concise and blunt to a point of being rude. Indifferent and his emotions don't usually surface. Though he may seem to not care for anyone, he's actually most concerned with the safety of others and is willing to make himself seem like an enemy to keep his image. He doesn't like taking credit for anything. Self-satisfaction is enough for him. He's consistent, diligent, resourceful, and intelligent. He's always two steps and can pull out a suprise for the other team at any given time.
Position: Pilot
Strengths: Navigating, technology, and knowing the skills/profiles/weaknesses/moves of the other racers. Always prepared and full of surprises on the course; observant.
Weaknesses: He's willing to be tactful and play by strategy, but if his leader wants him to play dirty and harm anyone of the other racers, he's out without breaking a sweat. He's not willing to race to show off either, and when he needs to study for a test, he's out (which is quite often). His hours on the team are unstable.
Racing Dress(Must wear a "Rebel Yell" shirt - include picture): Dark blue and black "Rebel Yell" Shirt. Jacket, Shades,Pants, Shoes,
Normal/Practice Dress (include picture): Same shades and shoes, but... Jeans, Hoodie (navy blue and white version), Shirt,
How He/She Races: Silently, quick, discreetly, with a lot of turning, sudden movement, and drifting.
How He/She Gets Hyped Up For A Race: By (secretly) eating his mommy's sugar cookies and drinking a bottle of milk.
How He/She Handles Stress/Loss: Not saying much but addressing the winning team's strengths and his own team's weaknesses.
How He/She Handles Wins: By saying "that was fun. I'll see you kids later."
Other: He enjoys classical music and rock, likes to bake/cook, and has a crush on a girl who's "impossible" to date because she doesn't like to just hook up. She plays the violin and rarely ever goes outside, yet alone race.

Name: Desmond Miles

Age (15-19): 17

Gender: Male

Appearance (include picture): His hair is normally like that.


Personality: He is the epitome of relaxed. He excludes a feel of laziness to those who don't know him, but those who have been around him know he is the opposite. He is calm in all situations and to some he might seem withdrawn from the world, but that's just how he is. He keeps few real friends, but those he keeps he is very close to. He rarely rouses himself before 11 O'clock when he has a choice, but when needed he is the most reliable person out there.

Position(manager, leader, tech, mechanic, racer, pilot):Pilot

Strengths: He can control the car really well and is good at protecting the racer from enemy cars. He can think on his toes and react quickly, while not making rash stupid decisions.

Weaknesses: He sometimes dislikes the ego of teams (even his) and will rebel against them. He just wants to play.

Racing Dress(Must wear a "Rebel Yell" shirt - include picture): Wears the t-shirt and then an old leather jacket over that. He wears old raggedy pants that are normally dirty (in a clean way). He prefers to wear indoor soccer shoes. Here's the jacket:

always wears these shoes: http://www.shopadidas.com/product/index ... =&colorId=
Pants like this, but dirtier: http://www.skateparkoftampa.com/spot/pr ... 8large.jpg

Normal/Practice Dress (include picture): Whatever he happens to put on. Normally like this:
http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/04N ... l/610x.jpg

How He/She Races: He is very calm. He has a near perfect memory, and he can do complex calculations in his brain with ease, so he actually doesn't pay much attention while driving. He can take one look around and then drive with his eyes closed and still do fine. He is not the fastest, but he is one of the smarter racers.

How He/She Gets Hyped Up For A Race: Sleeps late, plays a little soccer, gets a milkshake and then rolls in.

How He/She Handles Stress/Loss: Just goes home and does nothing. He doesn't have an ego, and all he really cares about is playing.

How He/She Handles Wins: See losses.

Other: Up for love I guess. He also plays soccer, and always has one in his car. He comes from a rich family that he hates so he lives with his older brother.

We need two more people...and we need to start claiming.

Name: Blake Maxwell

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance: http://www.pinkgodzillagames.com/news/m ... %20guy.jpg

Personality: He is the type of person you pass by, wave too, but forget about immediately. He is average at everything besides racing. This is what he does. He loves it. He's extremely calm and it's hard to make him lose his temper. He's a fun guy once you get to know him but he's...just not someone you remember and he likes it that way. He likes having a small group of friends and sticking to them. He's very loyal to his friends.

Position: Racer

Strengths: He knows when to take risks and when to stay put. He can maneuver around extremely well.

Weakness: He doesn't listen very well. If he thinks he can do something but you tell him no, he'll do it anyway. Sometimes (mostly after losses) his confidence falters causing damage to his self-esteem and even can mess with him in the next race.

Racing dress: Rebel Yell Shirt and this -
http://www.mxsouth.com/street/shift/shi ... cket_4.jpg

Normal/Practice dress: http://www.highsnobiety.com/uploads/pic ... ront-2.jpg

How he races: He does what he wants. He hates to take orders from anyone. He is calm but knows when to be aggressive.

How he gets hyped up for a race: Hangs out with freinds and just has a good time the day before so it calms his nerves

How he handles losses: Terrible. As I said before, it takes a huge blow on his confidance

How he handles wins: Of course he's excited, but he dosen't do anything too much.

Other: Up for love
