Rhythmer's Fist
The Dancers
Ranma Saotome
Club name; 'The Untouchable' (Male), 'Lil Red' (Female)
Style: High Intensity, break dancing
Preferred music: Treble and Bass, High Energy
Preferred artists: System F, Mayflyer, DJ Icey, Deiselboy
It's all about style. Ranma Saotome began as a legend as soon as he debuted on the dance floor. With a finesse that is loaded with pure, unadulterated, confidence and chic style, in the spotlight or on the battle ground, he's 'The Untouchable'. A master of all styles of groove and move are what make Ranma the best there is.
Recently, another rose up to the challenge of taking on the reputation the great Saotome left behind. 'Lil' Red' hadn't been around for more than a couple of months, but there's already talk of what a battle between the two would be on the dance floor. To the Asian Techno Underground, it would be a dream match come true.
Ryoga Hibiki
Club Name (Capoeirastylas): Vadeir de Caos (Wander of Chaos)
Style: Angola Capoeira
Preferred music: Jungle, South American High Energy
Fave artists: Jungle Bros., M-People (mainly with General Levy), Magic Marmalade
A slight detour while hunting Ranma's trail led a Young Ryoga on a boat to South America, instead of China. For several months, Ryoga attempted to find his way back, while incidentally arriving in one of the Meccas of Brazilian Martial Arts, Bahia. Befriending a mestre of the art of Capoeira while wandering through one of the many slums, he learned his technique of Angola Capoeira to an impressive degree. Picking up the trail on Ranma, Ryoga found himself in Jusenkyo.
That trip to Brazil was probably the best thing to ever happen to the Wander of Chaos; the philosophy of Capoeira, and the attitudes of most of his fellow Capoeirastylas served to lighten his own mood up. He's still hell-bent on making Ranma's life difficult, but now not for the reason of getting even, but getting ahead and bragging about it.
Shampoo:
Club Name: 'Wonder Woman'
Style: Amazon Rave, Trance flow
Preferred Music: Happy Hardcore
Fave artists: Tokyo Ghetto Pussy
Powerful and skilled as she is cute, 'Wonder Woman' detoured through the Cantonese lands at the advise of her great-grandmother, if she wished to prove herself a match for the redhead that easily dealt with her at the village tourney. Shampoo did just that.
In just a few scant months, Shampoo developed one of the greatest Amazon-derived forms of several generations with more ease than she could have comprehended. With her bull's-eye on Ranma, it's time for her technique to be put to the test.
Ukyo Kuonji:
Club Name: 'MISS Ukyo' (emphasis and respect on the 'MISS')
Style: Fan Dancing
Preferred music: Trance, Progressive Trance, GOA
Fave Artists: Antoine Clamaran, Tozer
Shafted by her childhood friend, Ukyo vowed that she would get her revenge on Ranma for leaving her behind. During her quest to track down Ranma, she learned of his involvement with the Rave scene, and considered an avenue of vengeance that would greatly satisfy her honor. With that in mind, she contacted an aunt who happened to run a small club up in Hokkaido, as well as being a well versed practitioner of a formidable style of martial arts.
Ukyo is unshakeable; as cool as the artic snow. To find yourself on her bad list is to find yourself in a world of hurt.
Tsubasa Kunerai:
Club Name: 'Nic'
Style: Euro-dance (Reserved style)
Preferred music: Euro-Dance
Fave Artists: Cappella, D'Nessa, Audio Cult, Catapila
The most beautiful girl he had ever seen came through his town one day, and Tsubasa swore they would be together. Ukyo at first was not amused by his persistence, his laments, his irritating talent of disguise, but eventually began to admire his perseverance. Looking into assistance on her own quest, she took Tsubasa under her wing.
Not a great fighter as his counter-part, but the better dancer of the two, 'Nic' is about sensual energy that arises from the masses.
Konatsu:
Club Name: 'Nac'
Style: Euro-Dance (High Energy)
Preferred Music: Trance
Fave Artists: The Prodigy, Re-Flux
On the request of her Aunt, Ukyo paid a formal visit to a rival school, situated in an inconspicuous teahouse. Most of the practitioners of the school were easily dealt with, except for one. Ukyo ended the stalemate between herself and Konatsu, and offered him a place beside her. There was no hesitation in the acceptance of the offer.
'Nac' prefers the intense energy that flows through the crowded dance floor; using it to fuel his dance and fighting ability.
Akane Tendou:
Club Name: 'Succubus'
Style: Sensual, High Energy
Preferred music: High Energy, Progressive Trance
Fave artists: ATB, Ayla, Paradisio, Skye
Before Ranma showed up, Akane only knew her innocent, if not hectic, life. She was one of the top martial artists in Nerima, and she was content. After that, she was given a taste of what life was with a surge of heady adrenaline intermingled with sheer abandonment. How could she go back to a life of that, and how would her damaged pride allow her to go forward? Above all that, how could she recover her broken confidence? Petra Allores had the answers to those questions. And thus, Succubus was born; because the loss of innocence is sooooooo good!
Mu Tsu:
Club Name: DJ Silver Edge, DJ Dux (cursed form)
Style: DJ
Preferred music: whatever moves the crowd
Fave Artists: Himself
Returning from his own training mission to find that his childhood beloved had journeyed on a quest to better herself, Mousse followed without hesitation. He came to realize that with Shampoo now running with a different crowd, he would have to change his own image for her to even look in his direction again.
Extensive training under the world's greatest touring DJs had allowed Mousse to develop his own unique style of DJing and fighting. Mu Tzu's confidence is only rivaled by Ranma's own, making it ironic that the two get along together. Of course, DJ Silver Edge doesn't know of Ranma's relationship with Shampoo...
Nodoka Saotome:
Club Name: 'Madam Blade'
Style: Pop 'n' Lock
Preferred music: So many to choose from
Fave Artists: Mr. Wiggles, does he count?
A housewife without a family to take care of usually find themselves with quite a bit of free time on their hands. A chance meeting with a foreigner woman who would become her best friend, introduced the Saotome matriarch to the underground world of Rave.
'Madam Blade' is to Nodoka what Superman is to Clark Kent. Even her own mentor in the art of Pop 'n' Lock has to look upon her in awe. With a boneless fluidity with movements as sharp as her namesake, she is an icon of Tokyo's club scene.
Petra Allores:
Club Name: 'Rhythm's Eve'
Style: Rhythmer's Fist (Yin Style)
Preferred music: Caribbean/ Latin Club
Fave Artists: Limitless selection!
Upbeat and mysterious, Akane's own mentor in the art of Rhythmer's Fist is a living embodiment of what Rhythmic nightlife is all about, sexy, alluring... indomitable. The Notorious 'Rhythm's Eve' is a fable, recounted by those who prowl the clubs of Tokyo. Occasionally she's seen, and word has it, she's found her own heir...
The players have been introduced, it's time to move onto...
Rhythmer's Fist; TROUBLE AND BASS!!!
