The TV glows and lightly illuminates the dark room. You sit hunched over yourself, anticipating the program that comes on right after the commercial break ends. Every second of waiting is worth it to you when the loud, hard rock music starts blaring from the TV speakers.

"RND ... RAPID NON-STOP DESTRUCTION!" A burly voice screams from within the screen. Many fast clips of various legendary and newly rostered wrestlers play as they perform finishers, scream, deliver signature taunts, and point at whoever is watching the program through the lens of the camera.

This is what you've been waiting for all week, the intro music blaring and the videos playing along with it gets you hyped, causing you to jump up from the spot you were sitting from and jump around your bedroom. Though this day exactly doesn't fall on any special event or finished storylines within the program, you've always loved just being a witness to the tension and fights that break out from each live event.

Just as you manage to compose yourself and sit back down, your mom calls out to you from the kitchen.

"Honey, dinner is ready! Come down here," she yells from outside your room.

You sigh, groan, and put up a little bit of a fight with yourself before complying. Standing up and opening the curtain to your room the afternoon sun lights up the previously darkened room once more, a last ditch attempt before it slowly begins setting away for the dark sky to take it's place.

When you go down to the kitchen and take a seat at the table dinner progresses by as it normally does. Your parents both ask how school was today, you simply just reply with a grunt or give a simple & diplomatic answer.

It's not until you finish your plate that your little legs race back to your room and once again you're seated in your previous state before the television. Too late to witness the beginning of today's program, an ad is blaring from your TV.

"Hey kid! Love our program? Write a letter to us and enter a chance for us to come to your city for a show!" The voice yells. Shortly after a sped up version is accompanied with a long list of fine print words like 'minimal demographic range', or 'subject to location', though you don't really understand what any of that means.

Immediately you run to the small desk in your room and pull out a piece of paper, a pencil, and get to writing.

Your name is Rajesh Eslweyrjaj and you hail from Surat, India. You begin writing the rest of your letter as formally as an 8 year old is capable of addressing to the world's currently biggest wrestling enterprise. When you're finally done you seal the paper in an envelope your father gives you and he takes you to the closest postal office around you.

Eventually, days turn to weeks which also turn to months. A winner is announced and it ends up being your letter! You clutch your chest and nearly fall to your knees, RND is coming to Surat! You can hardly believe it.

You run to tell your parents and they congratulate you, your father gives you a high-five and your mother gives you a hug. You ask if they can buy you tickets and though they seem a little reluctant to the idea they eventually cave in.

"You should ask your friend if they want to come too, Rajesh. I know you both like to do the stunt doubling outside with each other yes?" Your parents both suggest to you.

You haven't felt as high on life as you do now in a long time, it feels like everything is just falling into place with you. Unsure of if it's Vishnu's doing or just dumb luck, you don't bother to question it much though and you make a break for the outside and to your friends place to go tell them the news.

In all honesty, it's up for debate if they're as much of a mega fan for this kind of stuff as you are. It's a hard thing to compare when your entire being simply lives and breathes for wrestling. You make it to your friends house and knock on the door.

>You wait for your female friend Riya Banerjee
>You wait for your male friend Rohan Ahuja

ADDITIONALLY

>They are also a mega fan and want to be a wrestler in the future
>They're just a normie, but they still enjoy watching it with you and support your own dream

You hear someone running to the front door, your friend Rohan opens it and greets you. His brown eyes scarcely visible through the thick strands of his long, black hair covering them.

"Rajesh! Come inside and play!" He cheers at the sight of you.

Right after you're both running downstairs into the basement of his parents home, you break the news about winning the contest and that RNA will be coming to your city. Though he can scarcely believe it, you both come to the conclusion on celebrating through wrestling each other in a make believe ring that Rohan fashioned out of pillows and bundles of string. It's hardly official looking, but that's what your imaginations are for.

You both make your way to the center of the ring, Rohan is stomping his way over to you, imitating his favorite wrestler 'The Grand Berserker'. A wrestler renowned for his impressively huge stature and physical abilities. Personally, you find wrestlers like that to be a little boring, they're all size with no real personality or technical range, that's not to say you'd want to be in the ring with someone like that though.

Tilting your head and thinking about it for a second, growing up so far, Rohan actually is the strongest of any kids you know right now. You recall in one of your previous pretend matches he once managed to almost completely lift you over his head, though that's not incredibly impressive.. it's not like you're obese or anything, but you're definitely not a stick compared to some of the impoverished children in your country.

You return the gesture imitating one of your own personal wrestling hero's

>Atomic Commander, a giant, immensely strong wrestler comparable to Rohan's favorite. Though in your biased opinion he's much more impressive because.. well, because he just is ok?!

>Austin Grifford, an incredibly charismatic wrestler most notable for his taunt where he waves his hands in the air and chants "You can't perceive me!" Though he's not impressive in any sort of physical or technical capacity, the way his presence dominates the ring and hearts of the audience is enough to fuel his abilities in the ring.

>Slick Santino, a short, masked, luchador style wrestler known for his incredible technical and skill based feats in the ring. He's not very strong but his speed and technical ability to slip out of an opponents move at just the right moment is enough to compensate for that.

>Fiera Flamingo, a weird, male wrestler mostly used as a story piece or eye candy in a ring. He's pretty well rounded in terms of physical and technical ability, and his charisma isn't so deadpan either. He often utilizes his skillset by distracting opponents with flashy gimmicks or borderline illegal moves and taking advantage of their inability to predict what's coming next.

This seems fitting for an Indian fighter.

>PART 1: The Battle System
1/3: Up next.. Heels and Faces

>Stamina loss, Pain Threshold, and Audience Hype

>Stamina Loss
Over the course of the match all participating wrestlers will gradually lose stamina slowly. Stamina damage happens when a fighter does things like commit to a submission/resisting one, striking, or performing flashy moves that builds up Audience Hype. The system is based on a hidden number for each different characters stamina number, this will be vaguely portrayed to you instead as Ready/Working up a sweat/Getting tired/Exhausted. The lower a wrestlers stamina, the harder it is to for them to resist something. Exhausted people will constantly do a roll every turn to try and not pass out.

>Pain Threshold
Based on the amount of damage you can take. Based on another hidden number and vaguely portrayed to you again. The tiers go: Perfect/Getting worked/Over the edge/Crippled. Damage tiers have a negative effect on a wrestlers offense ability, and trying to get out of a pin. Crippled wrestlers will constantly have to do a roll to not cry out and forfeit. Crippled wrestlers can restore themselves if they have enough Audience Hype

>Audience Hype
Over the course of the match, Audience Hype has a chance to increase based on the actions that happen during each wrestlers turn. Creative and flashy moves will build up Audience Hype faster, Audience Hype has a chance to instantly heal wrestlers from the Crippled status. Each wrestler has their own independent Hype status that will be displayed. If there's a fight with no audience, this bar cannot be built up unless under special circumstances. The more famous a wrestler is, the faster this bar will naturally fill up for them.

>Rolls
First of 3 takes it, the highest number will be counted unless a 1 is rolled.

>>6258422
>Part 2/3: Heels and Faces
Part 2/3: Up next.. Fiera Flamingo is my kind of style!

>Morality system
Each different wrestler will fall under an alignment system of Heels and Faces. Both sides have unique advantages, though being neutral has unique diplomatic strength in conversations.

>Heels
You love the thrill of seeing 1000's of people in front of you who hate your guts. When people boo and jeer you it fills you with determination to cause more ruin. Being a Heel comes with the advantage of a gradually increasing bonus number to any attack roll. The number is based and progressed by continuously acting out in a manner of commitment to their alignment. As a Heel you suffer a progressively negative roll against Faces in diplomatic situations.

>Faces
When the crowd cheers and chants your name it swells your chest with pride. Doing good is what matters, who care if people view you as a boy scout? The audience loves you. As a heel you come with the advantage of a gradually increasing bonus to any defense roll. As a heel, diplomatic situations have a naturally lower success number to roll for. Being a Face comes with the disadvantage of progressively losing Audience Hype the more tired the fighter is.

>Mean to say Face instead of Heel for the bonuses under Face.

>>6258431
>Part 3/3: Fiera Flamingo is my style!

Since you first set eyes on the RND program, Fiera Flamingo has been your personal inspiration. The way he is able to strategically utilize moves that should be illegal into the match is always entertaining.

For a long time now, or at least, ever since you first met and started play sparring with Ronan you've been constantly developing a finisher inspired by Fiera himself.

>Atomic Nut Bomb
Your opponent conveniently lays themselves out on the floor giving you a strategic opening. You climb up and swing atop the turnbuckle, giving a grand pose before delivering a diving drop kick to the opponents groin. The devastating blow causes your opponent to roll a difficult number in order to stay conscious, it also makes them cry out in agony and lose Audience Hype.

>The Grand Slammer
You take out a pair of brass knuckles from God knows where and smash your opponents face with them on. The referee conveniently never notices when this happens, unless under unique circumstances. When your opponent is reeling from the blow it automatically gives them the Crippled status, and their face is ruined causing a random permanent debuff for the rest of their career!

>Black Hole Dive
You place your opponent seated down against the turn buckle. You walk away for a moment and the audience knows what's coming, no matter how they feel about you they love seeing this one. You take off your lower apparel and run backwards with your ass just seconds away from colliding with your opponent's face. Your Audience Hype is automatically maxed out after this is performed and your opponent is fully vulnerable to your attacks for the next two turns.

>Black Hole Dive

>>6258451
>Atomic Nut Bomb

Clearly we do this out of jealously for our opponents superior virility and strength

>>6258451
>The Grand Slammer
It seems like the type of thing we could do, and if worse comes to worse and we don't have time to perform it, we can just toss the brass knuckles at our opponent and pretend that THEY hit US. Because say it with me...

WE LIE

WE CHEAT

WE STEAL

>>6258451
>The Grand Slammer
The brass knuckles are solid gold and set with flaming red gemstones to be as equally fabulous as we are

Nice, a wrestling quest!

I was enjoyingt he wrestling mini quest on that wizard quest.
