WRESTLE QUEST ENTRY #2:

The world is going through a chaotic time. Every couple of months some technological breakthrough or the discovery of a long-thought mythological creature has upended society. In a business with a history of matching wrestlers against bears, promoters quickly saw the value in integrating as many of the new arrivals onto their rosters as possible. Fans love the underdog, however, so no matter how outclassed they appear by the natural (or unnatural) gifts of their new competitors, normal humans continue to experience a lot of success in professional wrestling.

You're getting off track, today is supposed to be about your career. But before worrying about where you are headed, why don't you take a moment to reflect on where you came from?

A. The Life-Long Fan. Ever since the first time you saw a wrestling match, you knew that you wanted to be in that ring. You'll do whatever you can to achieve your childhood dream, but you may be taken advantage of or clash with those that have a mercenary attitude about the business.
B. The Amateur Wrestler. You were a successful collegiate wrestler. You may or may not have even watched pro wrestling before, but you know that it can be a path to fame and fortune. Your previous training will give you a head-start in some of the physical aspects of pro wrestling. A promoter may be more inclined to sign talent that has a legitimate background, but there's always the chance that someone might try to make a name for themselves against you without it being part of the show. This background is also fairly appropriate if you want to enter wrestling after playing a different sport, football being a popular choice.
C. The Next Generation. One or both of your parents has a history in the business. In addition to having the genetics, your name should help you break into the business. Some fans might think you only have your spot because of nepotism, but you'll also get a bigger spotlight to prove them wrong. Be careful though, no one in wrestling succeeds without making a few enemies and your parent(s) are no different.
D. The Prodigy. You are great at everything. You have every tool it takes to succeed, unless you count attitude. You will rub virtually everyone in the locker room the wrong way. Even if you try your best to make a good impression, other people's envy may get in the way of them dealing with you in good faith.
E. Other?

This is also the time to pick if you want to start as something other than a normal human. Because we are going with a batshit insane world, you can pick just about anything. Cyborg, alien, elf, whatever. I guess for now, I'd prefer we avoid anything that would be extremely powerful like, a son of Zeus. I would like normal human NPCs to have a chance to believably compete.

Prodigy Cyborg Heel. Full of talent, a sign that maybe man has overstepped their bounds, making a cyborg almost too good at wrestling. Alas, the cyborg's main wish is to be loved, and it only knows how to do it by accepting any match and giving its all.

BOTCH #1:

Shit, I forgot to add that you should feel free to suggest names and traits of the trainer or trainees if you want. You can name the school or backyard promotion if you want as well.

>>186

Youtube Backyard Trainer: The Ultimate Jobber. A Guy who was the professional first match opener for every wrestler.

Also for Face/Heel make it a 10 throu -10 system for populatity with 0 being the worst

WRESTLE QUEST ENTRY #4:

Stats are unchanged from last update.

You arrive at Youtube Championship Wrestling's main office. In other words, the "promoter's" house. You are greeted by a middle-aged, balding man wearing a plaid shirt and well-worn jeans. Taking the average person in mind, he is above-average in size and musculature, but would not turn anyone's head in the world of wrestling. Not many people would recognize him now, but the man standing before you was once called The Atomic Kid. Of course, shortly after he got into wrestling, actual atomic powered competitors started popping up and he was relegated to the opening match for the rest of his career. He still makes everyone call him Kid, despite being old enough to be your father.

Kid smiles and shakes your hand. He suddenly tightens his grip and gives you a serious look. "Listen, I know I said that you could wrestle here, but I know you don't have any experience. Most people have their suspicions but there's something I need to make sure you understand before I let you in my ring…"

A. Wrestling is Fake and Gay. Professional wrestling is not a legit competition. The wrestlers cooperate with each other in order to put on the best possible show for the fans.
B. Wrestling is Real and Gay. Professional wrestling is a legit competition. Winning matches is the key to success.

The only way we are going to make it to the top is if we obliterate people on these videos. We were made to fight, so I think showmanship will be harder for a cyborg.

>>202
Go with *B* for our strategy but *A* for what the promoter/trainer wants. Once we brutally murder some mooks we will get promoted

Just realized the choice was from the trainer's side, so yeah. We want B, but he'll say A.

To clarify, this choice was intended to set how professional wrestling works universally. I thought it was more immersive to present it as the promoter "smartening you up" but I can see how it was confusing.

Then I think that in this universe, winning should be king. In our world, we value showmanship because everyone is basically the same.

If people are fighting giant bugs and zombies and cyborgs, I think the thrill for the audience is more primal. "I can't believe he just beat that centaur with a suplex." Winning over these challenges is showmanship in itself.

Lets go with that then

WRESTLE QUEST ENTRY #5:

Because wrestling is a legit competition, the face/heel dynamic is not an assigned role. A very positive popularity stat means the fans love you. A very negative popularity stat means the fans love to hate you. Either extreme is preferable to getting a neutral reaction.

"Wrestling is real." You respond with a blank look, not sure why that needed to be said. "I'm gonna run you through some exercises real quick so I have an idea of what we're working with here, but how about you tell me what you want to be called?"

You can provide both a real name and a stage name, assuming they aren't the same.

>>220
Real name/Stage name: Max Steel

Max Steel is seconded.

WRESTLE QUEST ENTRY #6:

"No way in hell I believe Max Steel is your real name, but it'll work for what we're doing." Kid leads you inside his house and down into his basement. He turns on the lights revealing an unimpressive, but serviceable gym. He motions towards a bench with a large barbell suspended over it. "I see you got yourself modded with all the latest bells and whistles, how about we see what those augments can do?"

'''Bench Press Challenge - This will determine the PC's base strength. After base strength is determined, the Prodigy background and cyborg augmentations will both add additional bonuses to future strength rolls.
Roll 1d60 to represent the reps performed.'''

Ok that roll totally didnt work

Here we go.

I think for future, I would like us to do the promos. My roll is just for chargen right now.

*This is fun by the way. I didn't expect to be doing a wrestling quest, but am enjoying it a lot.*

>>237

Thank you for the feedback. I think because we are in the "Wrestling is Real" universe, the promos will mostly be for fun anyway. I reserve the right to arbitrarily assign bonuses based on a promo that I like though.

I need to go to bed. I will check in on the thread during the day, but will probably be most active from 7 to 11 PM EST. Night of Champions looks pretty boring so I will be more interested in this quest than actually watching wrestling.

If you'd like to contribute while I'm not updating, I'd love any outlines for NPCs you'd like to see incorporated into the story, including non-wrestlers if you wish.

This is obviously a vote, but I believe we should go with the strength. As far as the character goes, I can chalk up the mental side for not being programmed well. Brute force has to be one of the easier things to make, so I'd like a bonus to that.

>>327

I think because we are going with a full-on fantasy world, it will be easy to justify any kind of future stat upgrades in a world where magic, cybernetics, and alien technology all exist, so I don't want you to feel limited by what we've already rolled.

I think we the hivemind have done pretty poorly so far. we seem to have decent agility lets work that to our advantage? B

I will switch to B. We can get improvements as we make money, so yeah, let's leverage our best asset now.

Go with B. We can be an agile dude who focuses on outrunning the competition, then put them in a hold.

Speaking of finishers, that flashy dive should end in a devastating drop kick called a "Force Boot"
