Thread: Street racing RPG? (Mature age rating)

In celebration of the new Fast & Furious 4 film being released next year (and coz my favourite actor is back in it ) I thought I'd grab the chance to start an RPG featuring my other passion... race cars.

I am setting the rating as (well in Australia it'd be classed as MA... I don't know rating scores for different countries) Mature Audiences as it will contain swearing and adult scenes.

Setting the scene;
It is the modern day and the beginning of another long summer of street racing in the city of Los Angeles. Our characters have never met before but enter the story into a crisis that they overcome and in doing so become family; inseparable.

As the story progresses they face an even bigger challenge, escaping the notorious drug lord Antonio Diaz with their lives and escaping arrest and certain incarceration.

A story of adrenalin, hot cars, hotter woman and a dash of testosterone. An RPG that even Rob Cohen could be proud of.

Rules;
- No god modding
- Realistic characters (nobody is perfect, and no magic or phsycic powers)
- One character each
- Don't write for another character - you can write somebody doing something to somebody else but not their dialog/actions etc.
- Anyone can write for any NPC
- Make it real but no porno stuff or anything too in your face. Swearing OK

My Character:

Name: Ivania Castilo
Age: 19
Ethenicity: Porturican parents, born in America
Appearance: A real beauty that turns heads, Ivania is of average height with legs that go on forever and waist-length jet black hair. She has soulful brown eyes and an eyebrow piercing, navel piercing and a tattoo of a galloping horse on her left shoulderblade.

Background: Born and raised in California Ivania has never left the state in her life. She dropped out of school at the age of 16 when her older brother was killed in a car accident during a race. She walked the streets for a while and her father discovered his daughter's new occupation and threw her out of home. Always into cars as her father ran a garage Ivania found herself servicing more and more men in the street racing world. At a Drag Wars event when she was 17 she raced and won and got herself a job at a top end car parts shop where she thrived. She bought her brother's wrecked car from the junk yard and spent 12 months doing it up with the help of her employer.

Car: Ivania drives her brother's old car that he was killed in, a custom black and gold '97 Toyota Supra with a galloping horse insignia (matching her tattoo) and the words 'horse power' down the sides. It is twin turbo and supercharged and as with most street racing vehicles it has no speedo.

Name: Alexander, 'Limey', Rebind
Age: 19
Ethenicity: Born in Ireland to American parents
Appearance: Alex is over six foot tall, not including his white hair that he spikes up. In addition to his white hair he wears one blue contact lense and one grey. His natural eye colour is green however.
He has no standard dress but whatever he wears has to have a link to GB in some way (e.g. Union Jack shirt, a british bulldog and a chain by his side etc.) earning him the nickname, Limey.
Background: Alex was born into a wealthy family while they were visiting Ireland but was raised in Detroit during the winter and LA during the summer due to his parents wealth (summer home). He went through the top high school in the country but was kicked out of Yale after an incident in which he'd accidently killed another student. His parents paid the family to keep quiet and he didn't serve any jail time. But when he stole his fathers car and refused to tell them what he'd done with it they disowned him and left him in LA.
Alex didn't care though and spent the next year racing in his modified version of his dad's car.
Car: Modified Alfa Romeo 8C Spider. Modifications include supercharging and nitro injections.

Name: Terra Younga
Age: 17
Ethenicity: Australian
Appearance: Terra is just under 5 foot 5 in hight and has long sun bleached hair that she continuously wears up in a pony tail. Her eyes appear to be like a tiger’s eye stone, and glimmer in the sunlight.
Background: Terra was born and raised on a farm in outback Australia, she spent most of her younger years learning to drive in her fathers ute. When she got older however she used to stir the cattle with the ute causing her father and mother to try and think of a way to cool her down. Decideding it would be best they shipped her off to America to study, sending along with her, her Ford BF Falcon XR8, the car that she had worked so hard to by. For a year after she was sent to America she spent most her time modifiying her Falcon ute, which due to the fact it is a ute most people underestimate.
Car: Ford BF Falcon XR8, modified with twin turbo engines and is supercharged.
