A little something more…

One of the ensured results of an level 1 common or level 2 intermediate intervention is a temporary “blocking period,” where, for a set time frame made by the fight ring’s owners , a fighter is prohibited from returning for more matches afterwards for around 2 or 3 weeks. This is done both to prevent a similar incident as the one that caused the intervention in the first place, and as a way to ensure the fighter’s return doesn’t result in the owners of the ring being labeled “too lenient” with “disorderly” fighters…

Restricted fighters, however, are still allowed to view fights and place bets online, though there have been petitions from deceased fighters families to different fight ring owners, encouraging them to temporarily restrict the accounts of blocked fighters as long as they are not allowed to return to the ring. Fighters like Reshi, who actively seek interventions as a way to boost their reputations, often spend more time off the ring placing bets, while under restriction, than fighting.

Full time permanent disqualification for a fighter is impossible unless carried out through summary execution in a level 3 intervention…

Drew Reshi at school and wanted to add a few facts about him:

- He was born missing the front upper half of his snout…

- He’s a chronic insomniac and takes frequent medication for both his sleeping problems and pain that he gets during or after his fighting matches…

- Despite being illegal, the fighting that Reshi does is widely practiced in secret by other members of the society he lives in, most people just don’t enter into the matches since it’s prosecutable to both be seen at, or participate in one…

- Reshi’s fur often reflects his mental state. If he’s been taking his medication and sleeping well, his fur often lies flat, but his fur also becomes rough and jagged whenever he doesn’t sleep or when he’s in a bad place mentally…

- He has little patience for small talk and only enjoys conversation if the other person has something they genuinely wish to talk to him about…

- The style of fighting he does is done in two phases: the first phase is with the hands like regular boxing, but much more brutal and violent with bare knuckles without the use of protective gloves which is how he lost the fingers on both hands (minus the thumbs) and the second phase is with blades or blunt objects with zero quarter given…

Gonna start using this blog as a place for worldbuilding for my OC’s. This is just gonna be a backstory to one of them…

Born with a missing upper jaw and snout in 2003, Reshi is a grey wolf-dog mix, who grew up ostracized in his hometown mostly due to his facial deformity paired with the natural social stigma of having a dog father who he never knew and wolf mother. Early in his teen years and after multiple run-ins with the law and dropping out of school, he developed an hidden interest in the nearby city’s most popular illegal underground sport: Kuroi-Ruka, a high stakes, often no holds barred fighting matches that sometimes involve weapons and can result in fatal injuries for one or (rarely) both of the fighters…

After years of watching and betting, Reshi decided to enter into the matches himself after turning the minimum age required: 21. (Dog years are similar to human years in this universe.) During the first several months, Reshi faced ridicule from both his former friends and other fighters for his decision to join the fighting, until he ended up accidentally killing an opponent during a late-night match. As a result, he faced his first common-level “intervention” (a fight-host-sponsored physical beating of the offender by the deceased victims family or friends as a way to send a message to any other fighters. Mostly done in response to a fighter killing their opponent in a ring that was advertised and intended to be non-lethal. Seen by fighters as a mark of honor rather than a punishment.) As a result of the intervention, other fighters and sponsors began to take Reshi and his fights more seriously. Pretty soon, he was doing high-level fights in more popular venues. As a result of the later fights, he lost the fingers on both his hands minus his thumbs, forcing him to find new methods to fight his opponents and rely more often on weapons he could sneak in with him, even in matches where weapons were prohibited….
