Welcome to my next fiction-out-of-the-blue!
Crescent Blitz: Clash
This is a complete series of 2 cumulative chapters, and I am not going to reveal the ends of this part of the story until I am completely done with Chapters 3 and 4, which will (estimate) to span roughly 12 separate chapters.
It's strange that this comes up in FF, but I thought it better since this had its roots in 2 series – Initial D and Wangan Midnight. It came across to me only recently that it also sounded a bit like Need For Speed Most Wanted, but I have no intentions of making it NFS-like, even if there are certain glaring co-incidences like the Audi TT.
With that…
Setting of the story: Today's world, in the tiny island-state of Singapore's many highways and straightways, consisting of…
…The bendy KJE, the deadly TPE, the straightways of AYE and ECP (the Southern Stretch), and the treacherous CTE, not forgetting the Pseudo-randomness of the PIE and the touge-like BKE.
Main and important support characters:
Darrel Gan
Rich, lonely despite being the crowd favourite, and a passionless person after the loss of that someone special through the "thing" he calls "early death". He's very straightforward at times, but he can be rather roundabout too. He has a personality problem – perceived to be, in any case – but he rides his ride well enough to be called a King.
Or is he?
Joel Long
Your typical geek stereotype, he seemed to be a boy who is eccentric at best, but thinks out of the box whenever it comes to his passions: Gaming, gaming and books. Or is he that simple?
Joe
A bookmaker who frequently organizes illegal street race gatherings, he seems to always manage to pick the right cars to win a race. A mechanic of 20 years, word has it that he got his enlightenment from a "Goddess of Racing", who has gone into hiding since a certain face-off. Since then he has amassed a fortune on bets, and now currently owns several estates across the nation. Rich in almost every aspect, he still tries to live quietly with his aged parents. His scandalous flings have unfortunately been something that hampers his hidden status.
Ivy
Often called the "Genius Racer", she works at several automobile companies in Japan once, and is very fluent with the language. Little is known about her except that she graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and that she's rich, in a way. Hardly anyone saw her face personally so it was no wonder than nobody knew that Singapore has its very own racer. Of course, for those who do, they revere her skills and worship her.
Sally
The special someone Darrel lost.
Colin
A soul-nonexistential version of Joe, he's more down on his luck that anyone would have ever been. Losing all his bets when he almost nicked 'em all, and even getting himself crashed along the infamous TPE Death Lanes, doesn't seem to help his status of being down and unlucky. He makes it a point never to say that he's unlucky, but that didn't seem to help him at all…
