Personality: Seth here, is a mysterious young man. You can call him a shapeshifter of sorts, actually. If he's around the tough guy crowd, his aura gives off an intimidating vibe that says "No one can touch me." Around soft-spoken and humble people however, he turns into a much more approachable person and somewhat shy. And when he's alone, he's just a silent soul walking the streets of Morgan Beach. He sees street racing as a proving ground to prove to himself that he can be perfect in one way or another. Unlike John, Seth's mysteriousness lets him blend in with the crowd as just another face. A mind gamer, he constantly psyches out his opponents by driving erratically.

Having just moved into Darke County 2 months ago, he hasn't got much friends in this town, so we really can't tell much about how he acts socially. Everyone either sees Seth as a restaurant manager in a 4-door Skyline, or a racer in a Golf R32. Underneath all this mystery though, Seth is a weak young adult whose past has disillusioned his view of the world outside his hometown of Rosewood, and has an overwhelming desire to find a way to be "perfect" in his view.

Seth's past: As a young boy growing up in Rosewood, he's always been a smart young man and moderately popular. All this makes him sound like the perfect kid, but he wasn't any good at sports whatsoever, and that bothered his parents Heinrich and Andrea. However, since his grades seemed to go nowhere but up, they just ignored it and even gave him gifts from time-to-time. You see, the Simmons family is well-off, as his father Heinrich was a well-known businessman in Rosewood, and his mother Andrea a best-selling writer on dating advice. 

Seth, however, started developing interest in cars and the like as he saw a midnight blue Skyline GT-R racing past the neighborhood heading west to who knows where. He loved the way it looked, as it whipped through the main street bending some mailboxes nearby. At this point, Seth was 16, and on his way to graduating from High School, so he was at legal driving age. Since his parents had given him a green Lotus Elise for a graduation gift, he figured "Why not learn how to use this car properly?" So he looked up google about cars and the like, and it eventually led him to results of street racing lore. He was obsessed with someday driving the streets at the same speeds as that man in the GT-R. 

One night, as Seth was taking his Elise out for a spin, he spotted two street racers at the start of the courtyard straightaway - one of them was the school bully in a 350Z, the other was a stranger in a Lancer Evolution V. The bully noticed "The pretty boy in his pretty little Lotus", and bet all the cash he was carrying on Seth not even making second place, around $80. Seth, one to adapt to situations like these, didn't back down and joined in. At the end of the race, Seth didn't win, but he was only behind the man in the Evolution by a few hairs in second place. The bully handed Seth the cash as promised and sped off without saying a word. This is were he realized the thrill of street racing - it wasn't just the cash, it was chasing down the Lancer giving him the ultimate thrill ride and observing his opponent play mind games everytime the Elise got closer. The man in the Evolution eventually stepped out of his car for a few words with Seth. He introduced himself as Raven "Delta" Smart, the best street racer not just in Rosewood, but in the whole state of Pennsylvania. Delta offered Seth to teach him the ways of racing, as he was impressed that a 1.8 NA 2ZZ-GE was able to almost take the win from his Lan-Evo in a straight line. Seth accepted, and for the next three months before graduation, he spend three nights a week going out to the courtyard for runs and tutelage under Delta. Raven taught him everything he knew, how the AWD system is a huge benefit, and his cerebral racing style. All was well for those three months, in fact, it was true "perfection" for Seth as he really felt perfectly home here at the courtyard, getting better with every race he took place in. 


However, one night, as Seth was coming home from his usual Thursday night race meet, his parents were right outside the gate of their garage, catching him in the act. They told him they've hired some spectators to see if their son really was doing suspicious things during these nights, and sure enough they were watching him race for the past week, reporting to his parents the next morning. Heinrich then decided to sell the Elise, and promised Seth he would never touch a steering wheel as long as Heinrich was alive. In the days after he stopped racing, his grades declined, as a result of him daydreaming about those three months of perfection. His parents pressured him into becoming a smart kid again, but it was too much for Seth to bear - he had to get back into racing one way or another. He had to prove to himself that high grades weren't perfection, but being happy street racing was. One night, he went out to the race meet and told Delta about his sudden disappearance. Raven sympathized with his young student and confessed to him that he was retiring from street racing, so why not take his car, his name "Delta", leave town, and race free towards the west coast? Seth willingly took his offer, and left town with all his belongings towards the west coast. 

Over the next four years, Seth raced in small towns leading west and had a great reputation among the country folks. However as soon as he was the established best racer in the town, he left and headed further west to another town - he never really got that perfect feeling again even if he was racing again in his mentor's car. It wasn't perfect if he didn't feel like he was at home, which was the vibe he got from Rosewood. This cycle repeated itself until he reached the edge of the west coast, Darke County. There, he sold the Evolution V, swapped it for a Golf R32, and took a 4-door Skyline for his daily driving and job, which was being the owner of Footy's Diner at Morgan Beach - quite a high paying gig. There was something different about this place, though. It felt like home, even if he'd just been there for a few minutes. Maybe here, he can finally recapture that feeling of perfection he felt the first three months he was racing in Rosewood - maybe, he can feel at home again.


Or so he thinks.


Favorite food: Beef Jerky, served Footy's Style.

Occupation: Owner of Footy's Diner, Morgan Beach branch.

Skills and flaws: An exceptional cornering mind, Seth's one of the best in the county at taking the rough turns and bends in the city of Palmont. The secret to his speed in corners is that his speeds stay constant throughout the entrance and exit - he stays off the brake pedal for as long as possible to get the most speed out of the curb. This is very difficult especially in a heavy ass 4WD car like the Golf R32, but he finds ways to do it. All this might make him look like a grip abusing smooth operator, but he can actually make the car slide despite its complex 4motion AWD system with great accel control. Despite that, Seth chooses gripping as it suits his style more. However, his reaction time isn't that great, which is only made up by his paddle shifting wizardry, and as a result isn't the best at taking straightaways despite his drag racing start in racing - the perfect driver for a Tuner like the Golf.

Those aren't Seth's only flaws, though - as he exerts extra effort to play mind games with his opponents, there's not much energy left for him to go all out once he's done playing with his opponent's psyche. Plus, he focuses too much in races, which makes him overdo things and lose races as a result. He's also a timid guy underneath - a rare kind in the racing world which won't be good for him in the long run, not in Darke County.


On a scale of 1-10, how well does your character think he drives?:

As I said, Seth is a timid young man, so he rates himself a 6.5.

Racer Style: Cerebral (Cornering master, mind gamer, adaptive, but are middling at best in the straights)

Aspiration: The desire for a homely place, and the feeling of perfection while street racing - all of which can be gained by taking over the city.

History: Son of Takashi, the top racer in the neighborhood, has a really rich family. At the age of 20, his family gave him a stock Toyota Supra. With the finances he have, he mostly spent it on his car because he has a desire to be the best racer like his dad. While travelling home after some brief meeting, two racers swiftly passed him. Determined, he also put the heat on his car. However, one of the racers hit the back of the Supra and the car did a 360 turn offroad thus dealing a great damage

Name: Sir ghost's friend


Name: Sir Ghost

Natsumi Chikamatsu

Appearance:
Height: 5’3”
Weight: 115 lbs
Hair: Brown, shoulder length and wavy. Held together by a headband.
Eyes: Brown
Build: Slender ruler body shape with a modest bust.
Attire: (Warm) Yellow sundress with flower patterns and sandals. (Cool) White dress shirt with a canary yellow jacket, and a baby blue short skirt, white stockings, and formal shoes.

Personality: Natsumi, in Japanese, means “summer beauty”, and as such her disposition is almost always sunny. “Sunny” meaning that she is normally a very happy, energetic, and friendly person. She also carries herself in a bit of a formal, lady-like way. And while it’s not often you see her outside of her happy zone, when Natsumi is mad, she is furious. When she is sad, she is deeply hurt. Her emotionality has been said to be one of her blessings (or cursings, depending on how you look at it). Natsumi’s favorite color is yellow.

Equipment: Yellow purse with flower graphics (containing keys, wallet, makeup, blah blah blah, do I really have to recount things a woman has? >_> ), Smartphone, and either a parasol or a yellow umbrella.

History: Born in a middle-class family in Saitama, Japan, Natsumi came into the earth with a privileged outlook, as it were. Since she was a teenager she had an interest in drifting, but this sport would often be berated by her parents as “nothing that a lady like yourself should bother with”. Early and often, Natsumi would find herself at odds with the viewpoints of her old-fashioned family, even as she rather enjoyed the benefits of being in a private school designed to bring the lady out of even the most undisciplined female high schooler. All of the four years that was spent into this high school transformed Natsumi into a mature woman, and a social butterfly.

Still alive and well, however, was Natsumi’s interest in drifting, and all of the bad habits private schooling washed away, this was the rock. Whenever on break or after school during the latter half of her term (and having already acquired her graduation gift - a 350Z - by this point), Natsumi would often find herself catching eyes at random drifting meets, both by common people and by professionals. This constant need to feed the craving for the sport resulted in the crossing paths of Natsumi and another girl, named Ai Takashima. Despite their similar background, the difference between the two varied in both their taste in car brands, their likes, and in their favorite seasons. The real disappointment for Natsumi was that she only got to see Ai for a limited time as the latter moved out of Japan, whilst she stayed in Japan to take up a cooking class.

Natsumi considered her moving out as a bird freed from the iron bars of a conservative cage. Almost immediately she sought out an instructor to help her get into drifting as the sport had full control of her interests, but limited herself to track runs, lest word of her actions cross her parents’ ears and bring shame to her family.

But perhaps, she thought, it would be not a bad idea to see the Western world. To that end, she purchased a plane ticket and a passport en route to Darke County to see what it had to offer. Originally wanting to set up her own restaurant chain in the United States, Natsumi, now completely free of the strictness of her parents, wanted to have fun the best way she knew how: going sideways.

Favorite Food: Chicken Curry with Fried Rice

Occupation: Chef @ Lofty Heights Manor

Aspirations: She wants to have fun. Very simple.

Skills and flaws: Drifting is, has been, and always will be Natsumi’s forte. Her techniques not only allow her to dodge hazards on the road and rack up style points, but also make her more potent in inclement weather where other cars would falter. The major problem with this is, that she is not that huge of a power freak and therefore would not do well in drag racing. Outside of racing, she is an excellent chef and very sociable

On a scale of 1-10,1 being terrible and 10 being best driver in existence, how well does your character think he/she drives? 4.5. It’s not really that she doubts her own skill so much as it is her shyness toward other, more seasoned drivers.

Racer Type: Technique

Residence: South Fortuna

Theme song: Pharrell Williams - Happy

Versus [insert your character street name here] theme song: (Optional)

Name: Trent Cobb

Street Name: Ensign

Age: 28

Gender: Does it really need to be said?

Appearance: Green military-styled camo shirt, beige pants, black boots, slightly buff, medium-sized brunette hair, hazel brown eyes

Personality: Cool and calculated, Trent forsees scenarios in his head before he acts. Every move he makes is well-thought of beforehand, and has a motivation behind it. However, this alienates him from other people unlike him, so his companions are few and far inbetween. This is magnified further by the fact that nobody can really read his emotions as he almost never shows any. Another alienating part of his personality is his OCD disorder, his desire to keep things where “they’re supposed to be” makes him a terrible improviser and quick thinker. Trent has a dark sense of humour, at one occasion telling his fellow officers he killed a family just to take their house and jacuzzi. He is a social darwinist, believing that the “weak” do not deserve to live in the same world as the “strong”. Trent lives by the mantra that “If you are strong, you live. If you are weak, you perish.”, giving him a “survival of the fittest” point of view on life. A man with big ambitions, he constantly thinks about his plans for the county - to be the last man standing in the war of life, one that you don’t win, one that you survive.

Vehicle: 1990 Mazda Savanna RX-7 Infini III [FC3S]



Mods: FD RZ 13B-REW swap, S1 Suspension, Cibié T353 Fog Lights, Fujita Engineering Front Lip, Mazdaspeed Single Exhaust , 2.0 Boost Meter, Work Meister S13 Rims (Silver), 8kg police equipment, Custom Side Mirrors, Bucket Racing Seats and Mazdaspeed Steering Wheel.

Equipment: Reading glasses(secretly a spy camera for the DCPD), Timex watch, keys to the RX-7, wallet containing credit card/cash/identity, Police-issue Beretta M9 Pistol

History: Orphaned at three years of age. Taken in by abusive relatives. That was all Trent Cobb knew for eighteen years of his life. He was given impossible tasks by his uncle, to take out up to 20 kilograms of garbage out everyday as his so-called “caretakers” enjoyed the spoils of their affluent life. Trent was more of a male maid than a nephew to his newfound family - a thoroughly abused one at that. Everytime he’d stumble while being forced to carry the heavy load of both the rich’s waste and his life, his aunt would point a gun straight at his head and threaten to end it all for Trent if he didn’t pick up the pace on the chores. Despite this, however, he always smiled back as they would always stop their usual routine of beatings if he showed he didn’t feel bad about the treatment he was put through.

“Nobody would cry for you if I ended it today. Nobody would even care enough to notice your corpse lying here with a bullet in your dome, you worthless sack of shit.” he was always told.

Deep within Trent were budding feelings of resentment and longing - he knew he was always meant to be more than what he was now - a glorified slave. One fateful day, he ran away from the estate after being forced to take away yet another load of waste out into the center of the city before going to school that morning. He ran, and ran, and ran… until he bumped into Baltimore PD Detective Amber Sanders. At first mistaken for a homeless child, Amber took him into the station. There, Trent told her everything about his life - the lonely life in school as a result of his “dirty looks”, and the living hell at home he experienced at the hands of his uncle. The detective, who had always been shunned from the rest of the force for her social darwinist views, had found a disciple to pass her lifestyle and mindset onto. Trent went through two hours of brainwashing with Amber, who taught him how to withhold his true emotions within him so as not for peers to predict what he was about to do. The female darwinist instilled in him the mantra that only the strong survive, and that the weak will die out inevitably.

“Now, Trent. If you keep being as passive and weak as you are now, eventually they WILL pull the trigger. Are you the prey, or are you the true predator? Think about it. If they were in your situation, would they be as sane as you are now?” she repeated to Trent, whose eyes had widened as a result of his “enlightenment”. As soon as his aunt and uncle arrived to the station to take Trent back into hell, Amber arrested them based on Trent’s testimony. There, Trent signed on as part of the junior force under Amber’s watch to train as an officer. For eight years, the woman became Trent’s true second mother, instilling in him values of a true social darwinist to influence every part of his life.

As the years passed by, evidence of illegal transactions with the Russian Mafia piled up against Amber, until it was enough to both oust her as lead Detective of the BCPD and take her into prison. It was yet another period of living hell for Trent as the trial went on for months, as it turns out Amber was actually too weak to hang on to her rock in the proverbial sea. She left Trent parting words of encouragement to keep living the way he was, as she was sent into prison for 15 years without parole. Trent quit the BCPD as soon as the bars shut on his proverbial mother, and headed west in a car he had been rewarded four years ago, a Mazda Savanna RX-7. It had since been swapped out with its younger brother’s 13B-REW engine in RZ trim by the time 2012 hit the calendar. Doing odd jobs for various shady people in the way, he earned money to get by just another day. This was a true test of his darwinist dogma, to see if he was fit enough to survive life on the road, or if he was too weak to hold up with the constant stress of movement. By the time he had reached Darke County two years after he left Baltimore, he was only hanging on a thread. But he made it. The important thing is, he had reached his destination with his sanity intact, albeit barely.

Trent got himself fixed up with the money he saved up on his trip west, and eventually got a job as a detective-psychiatrist with the DCPD, having impressed Chief Vincent Elierts enough with his profiling training with the BCPD and a clean criminal record. Months passed, with Detective Cobb doing well in solving various murders throughout Palmont, most of which was concentrated on Kempton as crime rate was at its highest in the county in that ghetto. Having done a great job so far, Elierts eventually assigned him to a three-month long mission to observe the street racing scene in Darke County and find its weaknesses as so as to take it down once and for all. Arriving in a taxi to Downtown Palmont’s used car lot, he reunited himself with his old friend, the RX-7, which had been previously sold after Trent joined the force to get himself a home in this new piece of populated land, to fulfill his duty both as a man on a personal mission and an officer of the law.

Favorite food: Fruit Bowl

Trent likes toilet paper rolling over, thank you very much.

Occupation: Undercover DCPD Psychologist/Profiler, Ocean View Hotel Valet (cover job)

Aspirations: Turbocharged. To observe how people act in Darke County, especially the street racers, and eventually bring it down once and for all. That is, his official mission. His real personal agenda is to weed out the weak individuals from the fitter ones, to cleanse Darke County of its weak links to bring the County back to its real roots as the paradise of the strong, fit-minded men and women who not only survive, but thrive in the personal war we call life.

Skills and flaws: Trent has the ability to get into the heads of people he needs information from, and he certainly has the mental strength to pick on whatever weaknesses his associates may have. A quick and clean worker, he catches his opponent off-guard by driving in a docile manner, keeping it that way until he strikes in the most unassuming way possible - simply driving faster through a corner gets the job done, without any unnecessary attributes such as drifting hindering his way of racing. However, once an opponent sees through his ruse, there is no way for Trent to defend himself as he always assumes things as he sees them right away without bothering to look deeper into the situation, leaving him vulnerable to attacks he might even see coming. 

On a scale of 1-10,1 being terrible and 10 being best driver in existence, how well does your character think he/she drives? 8. It’s a fact and you know it.
