Wrestling Information

Strategy: Makoto is small, and because of this, most of her opponents assume that she’s going to fight in a defensive style. This is a mistake. Makoto is small, but she hits fast, she’s vicious, and she just keeps coming. She uses a rough brawling style, preferring to bash enemies around, and when she gets them down she employs rough but effective submissions.
Style: Street Fighting
Type: Brawling Submission-User

Preferred Attacks:

Preferred Matches: Street fights, hardcore, pit fights, Last Man Standing, War Games, the less rules, the better.

Endurance:★★★★★ - The key to her victory. She’s a small thing, but she’s tough and relentless.
Strength:★★★ - Fairly strong for her size. Hits harder than you would guess.
Speed:★★★★ - Can come off quick, overwhelming opponents with a frenetic assault.
Defense:★★★ - Is good at defending and wading through assaults.
Technique:★★★ - Mostly self-taught and works off brawling.

Strikes:★★★★ - Hits incredibly hard and fast for someone her size.
Submissions:★★★★ - Has a strong ground game.
Powerhouse:★★ - Can overpower enemies about her size, but not anyone else.
Aerial:★★ - Doesn’t spend much time in the air, aside from simple attacks.
Counters:★ - Doesn’t have much in the way of finesse.

Favored Weapons: Chain, will bash people with her helmet on occasion

Signature Moves:

Skull Breaker:

Coming from behind a stunned opponent, Mako reaches up, grabs them by the head - or the hair, if the ref isn’t looking - and pulls them down, slamming the back of their skull into her knee.

Face Breaker:

With a bent over opponent, Mako grabs them by the head from in front, then drops to a sit and rams their face into the floor.

Finishing Move:

No Tapping:

When the opponent is facedown, Mako uses her legs to capture the opponent’s arms in a chickwing, then pulls back on their neck from behind. Because the hands are immobilized, it’s near impossible to escape from, and verbal submission is the only way out.

Roadkill:

With an opponent on their knees, Mako runs behind them, bounces off the ropes to get steam, then clocks them from behind with a running knee.

Personality:
Mako is unquestionably the drive of the team - the leader, the planner, the heart. She might not have the brains for complex schemes, or the muscle to bulldoze her way through, but when she sees something she wants, Mako is relentless, and every bit as fierce as the animal she gets her nickname from.

Above all, Mako is ambitious - she liked winning. She likes owning people. She likes taking things. She likes being on top. It's not even so much the rewards she gets from such things that she enjoys, it's the game itself. Scratching her way to victory has become something she's become very good at over the years.

For all her faults, Mako is actually a good leader, at least when the Valkyries are fighting. She’s good at rallying them like a team and ordering them around - she knows how to employ their strengths and weaknesses for maximum effect. Though she comes across as bossy, she does seem to genuinely care about her team. She just sucks at expressing it.

History:
Mako’s childhood had all the textbook signs of trouble, right from the start. The youngest of three children in a single-parent household, her mother was rarely around, and Mako was pretty much left to her own devices. Mako spent most of her time in the street, getting into trouble. Her mother was only able to provide the barest of necessities, and Mako often found herself quite hungry. She took to stealing her food, then took to stealing things she didn’t just need, but wanted.

She became addicted to getting what she wanted, either by stealing things or taking them by force. Being so short, she was a prime target for other kids with similar dispositions, and she was often targeted - but after a few beatings, she started training and learned how to fight. She developed a skill and a taste for violence.

It was this taste that drew her towards the Valkyries, an all-girl small-time motorcycle gang that operated in her neck of the woods, and ran pit fights to get some cash. The leader was an American who went by the  name ‘Stone’, who’d taken over after she beat the previous leader in a fight. The prospect of having her own gang, of not just being on her own but actually being in control of others, intrigued her. So she accepted the challenge

When it stated, the crowd laughed at the idea of this little shit of a girl taking on a woman almost twice her size. After thirty minutes and a lot of spilled blood, the Valkyries had a new leader, and they stopped laughing.

Despite having such a brutal fight, Mako let Stone stay in the gang and serve under her, figuring she could use the help and valuing the older woman's experience.

Fun Facts:

-Huge Ghost Rider fan, and not the least bit ashamed of it. She’s typically pretty dismissive about such things, and comic books in particular, but when it comes to Ghost Rider she gets quite geeky in a hurry.

+ Is oddly finicky about her bike, even for a motorcyclist. She treats it like it’s a part of her body - she doesn’t like people touching it, tunes it constantly, and will only let certain people ride with her. And she never lets anyone ride it for her. Ever.

+ Does not like being called a dwarf or anything like that, and it’s the quickest way to draw her ire. She’s not even short enough to qualify.

Characteristics

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Her typical biking outfit.

Personality:
If Mako is the soul of the Valkyries, then Devine is the brains. She's quite intelligent and is usually the one who adds a level of subtlety to Mako's plans - if not for her, Mako's plans would involve a lot less manipulation and finesse. She's handles anything and everything that invokes real business with the gang, having good sense for money and math.

She could probably outsmart Mako and take the gang over if she were so inclined, but fortunately for all involved, she's lazy as hell. Makoto is in for the conquest, Lightning is in for the honor, shes just in it for the fun.

History:

A long time ago (five years) in a land far, far away (Brazil) there was a little girl that loved to sing and dance. She was quite good at it, and people loved to watch her sing and dance quite a bit, so much so that her parents started pushing her towards doing that for a living. She wanted to be a star. He parents assured her this would happen. He friends assured her. Her instructors assured her.

She joined up with three other girls like her, all of whom could sing and dance - maybe not quite as well as her, but they could do it. They formed a group, the Angels, and went on tour, turning quite a few heads with their melodic voices and gaining some national fame.

As with most good things, it didn’t last.

As the years rolled on, the group found themselves bickering more and more over the spotlight. Devine was the leader, of course, but the other two girls wanted more and more time, tried to take greater control of the group. Fights broke out, Words were said that couldn’t be taken back. And before long, the group split.

The girl  tried her hand at a solo career, but she needed the other two girls more than she was willing to admit - her solo album flopped, and the more she tried to bounce back, the further she found herself in debt. Soon she found herself cashing checks that she knew would bounce, and that’s when she decided it was time to hit the road.

She traveled around Europe, deciding she needed to get as far away from the Brazil as the little money she had could take her. With nothing much more than her motorcycle, she made her way from place to place, and learned a lot about herself along the way. She had a brief stint in an S&M club that was quite enlightening, got into some scrapes and learned how to fight in a way that utitlized her body and dancing skills, and got to a point where she could take life a lot easier.

At the end of the line, she found her way to Japan, where an up-and-coming gang of biker girls was breaking in with their new leader. The little girl was young and feisty, but lacked real direction or managing skills. From her time as a star, Devine had acquired fairly good business sense, and saw an opportunity to get a litle purpose back in her life and do something with her day. She offered her services.

Fun Facts:

+ Is a serious chain smoker. Every once in a while, she’ll try to quit, but it never lasts - her longest time off was about three months. She does realize it’s a bad habit, and flirts with the idea of seeking some professional help to get off.

+ Is a very spiritual person - she describes herself as a pantheist, believing the universe is a living being in and of itself. She doesn’t talk about it much, but she can get pretty philosophical if pressed.

Personality:
People immediately think Stone is the dumb muscle of the group, but they’re only half right - she’s the muscle, but she’s hardly an idiot. She’s actually the most grounded of the three Valkyries, and the only one that seems to have any real compunction about their more questionable actions. She’s the one that stops Mako from going too far, though that’s not to say she’s incapable of some violence herself. She’s just more aware of her limits.

The image of her as dumb muscle isn’t helped by her quietness - she rarely says things unless she feel she needs to, preferring to listen and pick her words carefully. She’s the most patient of the trio.

History:
Stone came from a family of fine military men and women - for the past century, every generation of the Poundstones participated heavily in the wars and conflicts of their time. Many served, and more than a few died in combat. From early on, Stone was made aware of the history and encouraged to continue their legacy. She gladly signed up, eager to join, but her country didn’t share the sentiment.

These were the days before the repeal of DADT, and when Stone’s sexuality was found out, she knew her time was up. She accepted it - didn’t like it, but she took it with as much stride as she could. What she had a harder time accepting was her family’s attitude towards it - her parents were less than supporting, to put it in a nice way.

Just tired and fed up with her country on the whole, Stone went to Europe and just roamed for few years. She sold herself as a mercenary for a little while, but the job didn’t suit her tastes and she never did it for more than a few months at a time, rolling with various companies.

Most of her time was spent with pit fights, and she eventually made her way to the Japanese underground scene. She did well there until she was asked by the leader of an up-and-coming biker gang, the Vipers, to take a fall in one of her matches.

Naturally, she refused, and to get the gang off her back, she challenged the leader to a fight. She won after a harsh match and took control of the gang, finally finding a group that respected her strength with no complications, renaming them after her own motorcycle, the Valkyrie.

After a year, however, she was presented with a challenge of her own, in the form of a little girl named Mako. Stone made the mistake of underestimating her, and by the time it became obvious how strong she really was, She was already overwhelmed. It was a fierce fight, but Mako came out with the win in the end.  

In the aftermath, the two became friends, with Stone hanging around to provide advice and muscle.


Fun Facts:

+ Very big baseball fan, keeps up with both American and Japanese leagues and watches their games religiously. Unapologetic Yankee fan.

+ Gives absolutely not a single fuck what people think about her hair. She likes it that way. Enough said.

+ Absolutely hates being called 'Alice'. Got called that a lot in elementary school, sticks in her craw.

+Despite being away from mormonism for years, she still doesn’t drink alcohol.

Wrestling Information

Type: Brawling Grappler

Strategy: Rei swings her fists. It's what she does. If she isn't doing that, she is grabbing on to someone, to drive her fists into them again.  She is a cocky pugilist more boxer than wrestler with no real training. She is not above taking cheap shots, in many cases she prefers it. While not the most impressive wrestler, she is incredibly efficient when armed with a foreign object. She shines in hardcore matches where her lack of natural strength or talent is made up for in her ability to effectively wield weapons.

She likes to feel stronger and come off as more dominating than she really is. She is actively berates or seek to humiliate her foes if she is able to seize a position of power. She'll  talk down to her opponents a lot, making it seem likes she is a big deal with where she came from and her current membership with the Valkyries despite not being a fully fledged member.

Signature Moves:

Pileup: Rei will intercept a running opponent by throwing herself into them to send them both to the ground. She will straddle and proceed to pummel her foes.

Pileup:

Body Work: Pinning her foe to the middle ropes, she proceeds to knee her opponent until they escape or the referee interferes. In tag matches, she will try to grab her opponents from behind while on the apron and bend them backwards into this.

Body Work:

Finishing moves:

Skid Mark: Rei will put her opponent in a vulnerable position, either bent over or on their hands and knees. She will then jump up into the air, sometimes after hitting the ropes, and bring down her boot to drive her foe's head directly into the canvas.

Skid Mark:

T-Bone: In the corner, Rei will make use of the ropes to hold herself upright whole gripping her foe's head with her legs. She will then yank them forward into the middle turnbuckle, smashing their faces against it. She will often times remove the turnbuckle padding in anticipation for setting this move up, which is incredibly easy in tag matches from the apron.

T-Bone:

Characteristics:

Personality: Rei is a loudmouth upstart with a chip on her shoulder. If something can in anyway be misconstrued, she will likely find a way to twist it to be personally offended. Always poised to fight, it doesn't take much to get her to start throwing punches. She is blunt and unapologetic, openly mocking her opponents to throw them off their game.

The only thing that grounds her is her overwhelming want to impress her Valkyrie sisters. When alone with her fellow bikers, she might as well be a completely different woman. Bright, cheerful, always looking to lend a hand. She might come off as a bit of a brownnose or a coattail rider, using her place with the sisters as a means to flex her muscle against other people. She takes any task assigned to her personally incredibly serious, wanting to make a name for herself no matter the cost.

Past/History: Rei can't remember much of her actual family. She knew she had a mother and a father, even and older sister. If she things hard on it she can sometimes recall what their faces looked like. She was far too young when both her and her sister were taken from their home and plaster into foster care, never to be seen again.

Rei was a troubled child from the onset. Whiny, destructive, a terror wherever she was place. Be it scrawling swears over the walls in marker, pawning items from her foster homes, or starting fist fights with the children on her block. Her bad behavior and outright defiance in any authority figures in her life saw her on a downward spiral.

At the age of fifteen she finally ran away, leaving behind what little she had and dropped out of school. Living on the streets proved to be more difficult than she had thought. For all her tough talk and rebellious attitude she didn't really have the hard nature to go along with it.

Stealing became a means to survive. A bad of chips from a store. A dine and dash at a noodle stand. When she couldn't secure a spot in a shelter or half way house she would sleep in parks or abandoned buildings. She grew accustomed to living her life in the moment because she had to, and most of that time was spent running away and hiding.

One evening she broke into what she thought was an abandoned garage. She had seen it from afar a few times. Always chained up and rusted. She climbed in through one of the upper windows that had been broken. She found the place to be surprisingly cared for, the interior seemed to still see use. Upon closer inspection she found not only a a plethora of tools and equipment, but a few covered items which she assumed were cars and motorcycles. When she tried to get a look, the lights came on and she was confronted by a woman claiming to be the owner.

The older woman threatened to beat her to high heavens if she didn't say who sent her and how she got in. So she explained her story... And the woman fed her and let her sleep the night on a futon in the office. The next morning she was thrown out and warned if she ever came back, the owner would put her in the ground.

That night she returned again, but found the window she had snuck in to was repaired, so she knocked on the front door. The owner opened up, and asked her if she had a death wish. She lamented that she might. Then the owner took her in, permanently.

Reiko became an unofficial hired hand. Training under the owner, learning the ropes, just for food and board. She grew to love mechanic work, and finally had fallen into something she was good with.

It was with her time at the garage she first came in contact with the Valkyries through was of "mutual business ventures." She took a shine to the tough as nails biker babes almost instantaneously, as they represented everything she wanted to be. While she still works at the garage today, she has actively sought out the biker gang to mint herself as one of their newest members.

Fun Facts:

Dream Ride: Despite joining the biker gang, she doesn't actually have a motorcycle of her own, yet. She spends most of her free time and all of her money building her own motorcycle in hopes she'll have the sickest ride in the whole gang... Until then she is forced to ride bitch with one of the other girls.

Switched Blades: Rei owns both an actual switchblade knife, and a replica switchblade which has a comb inside rather than a blade. She had a long scar on her scalp when when she mistakenly used the wrong one to try a different style her hair. These days she marks the knife with a small frown face charm with Xs for eyes.

Dye Another Day: Rei constantly adds strips of color to her hair if not dying it completely. She almost always styles it to look more intimidating, and sometimes to add a bit of height to her appearance.

Tag, You're It: Reiko fills a lot of her free time not at the shop working on rides out about town tagging walls with graffiti. Normally this consists of murals dedicated to The Valkyries.
