Air Gear RP
In this RP, the events of the actual Manga/Anime haven't taken (and won't take) place other than the creation of Air-Treks (known as AT's). The Road principles still exist, with the 8 main roads retaining their respective Kings, the 8 main Roads are:
In place of the original cast will be various freshly created characters, so knowledge of the AG story isn't too important.
At the start of the RP we shall all be beginner riders, part of a new team formed from a group of friends from Southwest High with basic AT parts, hoping to make a breakthrough in the world of AT's. At the beginning we won't need to worry about all the attacks etc as that doesn't come in for a while...but will be explained in time for the battles that require them.
If anyone wishes me too, I will explain the Road styles to them, but most people follow their own style of riding, so you can make up your own attack style unless you want to follow a set road which I'll be happy to explain to you about them.
The main goal in the RP shall be advancing through the Parts Wars, which revolves around a website where all the teams go to challenge other teams to advance through the ranks to become the best. There is 6 tiers in the Parts War system, labelled A-F, every new team begins at rank F, the lowest and easiest War in the series.
The tiers are as follows:
Three wins in a row against teams in the same Tier will advance a team to the next Tier ie 3 wins against F class teams advances an F class to E.
One win against a higher tier advances in rank ie F class beating an E class team advances to E.
Beating a lower class team doesn't count to anything.
Wiki: Incase anyone wants to read about it. [http://airgear.wikia.com/wiki/Air_Gear_Wiki]If anything is missing or needed expanded, tell me!
That's us full now, if anyone wants a reserve PM me, if you post in the thread you will probably be ignored. And a group will be up soon for players and followers, to keep most OOC chat there and chat about Air Gear (if anyone else reads the manga).

There is 6 tiers in the Parts War system, labelled A-F, every new team begins at rank F, the lowest and easiest War in the series.
The tiers are as follows:
F - Dash
Movement taught - "Run". Dash is a simple race to a finish line; the person to get there first wins the battle. Dash matches are carried out in a series of one-on-one races, meaning even 2 opposing Storm Riders could engage in a function Dash match.
E - Hurdle
Movement taught - "Avoid Obstacles". Hurdle incorporates the same concepts present in F-Class Dash matches, meaning one simply has to reach the finish line to win. However, to make things more difficult, large obstacles such as buildings or wide gaps are added to require more skilled AT usage.
D - Cube
Movement taught - "Manage to Use Wall Surfaces". The focus in the majority of Cube matches is one-on-one combat within an enclosed space
C - Air
Movement taught - "Jump". Air consists of ten platforms, each with a specific number. After a certain amount of time set at the start of the battle, these platforms are successively knocked down in random order. This means that riders must fight against the other team in order to gain solid footing. The last team standing wins the match.
B - Disk
Disk has two different decisive factors. The first is limit to attack. The person with the disk is called the 'disk keeper', and can attack anyone at will. The others cannot attack anyone else besides the disk keeper. If anyoe breaks this rule, a penalty point is given to the other team. The second most important factor in this class is teamwork. If a team does not co-operate, they definitely will not win.
A - Balloon
The highest ranked, and hardest, battle system utilizing the 6 layers between A and F. Whoever takes the balloon with the emblem wins. The rules may look simple, but the difficulty is extremely high. Balloon is a team game usually carried out in 5-to-5 teams (although 6-to-6 has also been seen), where each team is separated into positions:
* Panther - chases the balloon, and is the only member of the team who is allowed to touch it. If any other rider touches the balloon, the team will be disqualified.
* Decoy - lures enemies away, pretending to be the Panther.
* Ultimate - battles the other team.
* Middle - assists the 3 people in front.
* Keeper - stops the enemies attacks.

Name: Jacqueline Abbit
Age: 17
Gender: Female
appearance: 5'6" 120 pounds, short cropped, dark red hair. Jacqueline wears baggy cargo shorts and T-shirts for freedom as she finds full length clothes to be restraining. Small and slender, she's not big in any manner, and she's clumsy while on foot but graceful on ATs. When it's too cold for a t-shirt she wears a light weight jacket. Her ATs are a rich, royal purple with deep blue accents and white wheels.
Personality: Bright and bubbly in almost all matters, even when it comes to ATs.
Style: Trick
Bio: Jacquline is a tomboy from a middle class family. She's always been mocked for her lack of a chest, but that was fine with her as she detests all things female. She prefers to be called Jack as well. She came to the world of ATs when her great grandmother passed and left a bit of money to Jacks name. She had seen several people practice and got the best ATs she could afford. Jack practices every day, perfecting her forms and her tricks even though she doesn't know too many.

Name: Kai Tune
Age: 15
Gender:Female
Appearance: Kai wears an oversized baby blue sweater and relatively short shorts. She wears black knee pads, as well as one elbow pad on her right arm. Her auburn hair is usually down, unless she's racing, and when she is it's always in a pony tail. When she's racing she also wears a pair of black, steam punk style glasses. According to her they're "good luck".
Her AT's are the most important thing she owns. They've been spray painted gold and are always polished to perfection.
Personality: Kai is a bit too over confident. Her general lack of self discipline makes her impatient and a bit hot tempered. She stands by her beliefs, which is just a nice way of saying she's hard headed. Kai almost always speaks before she thinks. That alone has put her in many awkward and uncomfortable situations.
Style: Speed.
Brief Bio: Kai was born and raised in a busy city. Her father and mother both worked to give her and her older brother, Zarek, everything they possibly could. As a result her parents were rarely home so she spent most of her time following Zarek around. Whatever he did so did she.
When her brother received a pair of AT's for his fifteenth birthday she persuaded her parents to buy her some as well. When she put them on for the first time she immediately fell in love with them. She liked the freedom and speed they gave. Her brother went on to win a few races and became pretty well known where they lived. But Kai just sped around the city, constantly modifying her AT's to allow her to go faster.
After a while people constantly began to tell her that she was exactly like her brother. Most of them didn't even remember her name. They just called her "Zarek's little sister". So now she's joined a team and will try her hardest to beat her brother and make a name for herself.

Name: Ray Marner
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: Ray is a semi-tan skinned lad who stands at 5'10 and has a rather average build. His eyes are dark purple in color, often appearing to be lazy. Jet black hair sits atop his head, worn at meduim length and always neatly combed. He has few distinguishing marks other than a small scar on his right cheek. He wears a black racing jumpsuit with purple strips going down the side. Covering his eyes he has a pair of wide rimmed aviators. His AT's are black all over, with the expectation of the purple wheels.
Personality: Ray is a complete egomaniac, believing that he is the greatest thing since sliced bread and that nobody comes to his level of greatness. Many believe that he is self-centered due to his self love, this is not the case. While he does sport an ego the size of the sun, he happens to be a generally nice person, often thinking that it is his duty to aid the common man and hopefully some of his awesomeness will rub off on the lesser folk. With that being said; he tends to be very sarcastic, even in situations were sarcasm is nowhere close to being appropriate.
Style: Speed
Brief Bio: Born into an upper-class family living in the rich side of town, Ray always had a sense of entitlement. Whatever he wanted he got, whatever he needed he got, and he was pampered day and night by his two dotting parents. His family had servants which often meant he never had to work, but somehow this didn't make him lazy, rather his energy was focused into helping the common man. He would spend his days down at the food pantry packing groceries, helping to clean up, and aiding in closing down, all while sporting his pompous attitude.
By the age of fourteen he already had a few hundred hours of community service under his belt, more than enough to get into his college of choice. As a reward for his good nature, his parents rewarded him with a pair of AT's, which he quickly started training and practicing with. Once more, his ego took over, rather than going for stability, he went for thrill of speed skating, most likely believing that he was so blessed at the sport that he would never lose balance.

Gender: Male
Appearance: Shortish scruffy blonde hair and blue eyes, Michael is well-built, though not overly tall. He usually wears a white t-shirt with a pair of baggy black cargo trousers. His elbows are covered with grey elbow guards and his hands are clad in white MMA gloves. His Air Treks are a deep crimson with white tiger stripes and white wheels.
Personality: Kind and friendly, Mike is completely devoted to improving his skills and Air Treks. Though usually he appears laid back enough to fall over, Mike is totally focused whenever he competes, though when out of competitions and training his laid back attitude extends to his riding style.
Style: Strength
Brief Bio: Growing up in the inner city, Mike's childhood was defined by tall, oppressive buildings and urban decay. Though he never got sucked into any of the urban gangs, Mike always dreamed of escaping, feeling trapped by the concrete and steel that surrounded him.
Aged 13, his parents bought him his first pair of ATs, which he has kept till today, modifying and enhancing them. He soon fell in love with them, exhilarated at the release they allowed him. Over the years, he developed his skills and soon began engaging in small competitions hosted in his neighbourhood, using his strength to great advantage in beating the opposition.

Name: Damien "Thanatos" Lier
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: 6'7", with black hair and azure blue eyes. Wears black denim jeans and a navy t-shirt, with a black sleeveless flak jacket over his shirt. He almost always has the jacket zipper open. The flak jacket is extremely heavy, to help train his speed. His AT's are silver with a black stripe running down the sides. They look normal, except the fronts of each look almost like a miniature jet engine.
Personality: Damien is normally easygoing, but becomes cold, calculating, and above all, brutal when he races AT or fights. When he takes off his flak jacket, he is merciless and will not stop until his foe is buried six feet under.
Style: Strength
Bio: Damien was adopted by a rich family, actually one of the richest in town. They thought that they could not have a child, so they decided to adopt. They tried their best to spoil Damien for the first few years of his life, but he remained down to earth through it all. That was until the old couple finally had a beautiful daughter named Rose. They then started to ignore Damien for the most part, focusing their attention on Rose. Damien has been trained as a bodyguard for Rose. He does not blame her for what has happened to him. However, he still feels the need to get away from everything, to escape and be himself. AT filled this void completely. An interesting thing to note is that Damien was born with a rare condition called Myostatin-related Muscle Hypertrophy, meaning his muscles fibers are seven times denser than a normal human's. They are nearly impossible to tear, and increase his strength immensely.

His AT's are navy blue with emerald green streaks on them. The wheels are the same colour variation with an almost cracked pattern.
Personality: Zeke is a lazy but fun loving guy. He loves to relax all day but values his friends more than anything. If anyone hurts his friends he will get revenge.
