Ken is a striking figure, with bulging muscles and a commanding presence. His long blonde hair cascades down his back, styled in an exaggerated forelock during the day, but often let loose when he dons his helmet. It used to be styled into a perfect pompadour, but as he’s grown older and his hair thins, it now falls in wild waves. The sunlight catches in his locks, giving them a golden hue that seems to glow against his tanned skin.



Civilian Clothes: Prefers leather jackets/vests and loose denim with combat boots. Has access to a multitude of costumes from his job. His glasses are purely cosmetic.



At work, he’s Ken Victory, a soldier cyborg who fearlessly sets himself against the heels of the programme. He’s been outnumbered, dismembered, and (almost) killed, No matter the odds, Victory comes through in the end. He changes outfits as the scenes require.



Hero Outfit:



RD's vigilante outfit consists of a carefully curated collection of top-of-the-line, form fitting, blue-dyed steel armor pieces he has acquired over the years from various online stores, custom made. It may have cost him his entire life savings, but every piece is exquisitely crafted and well worth it in Ken's eyes. The weight of the armor does make him slower, but as a man with a formidable build, the added mass doesn't hinder him much. In fact, it helps enhance his Quirk by giving him the ability to deliver powerful punches and grapples. The armor provides decent coverage for his vital areas and allows flexibility when needed to show off his muscular physique. Ken always keeps his helmet in his backpack, always ready to mask up and throw down regardless of the dress code.





Personality

Bad Habits: Ken's last name, Maverick, has become his identity. He can't help but turn every mundane task into a spectacle, always chasing after that adrenaline rush of competition. But sometimes, in his pursuit of glory, he forgets about practicality and the consequences that come with it. A constant tug-of-war between his desire to be a showman and the need to be responsible rages within him.





Goal: Ken is a passionate idealist, driven by a strong sense of justice. He sees the Pro Heroes as too preoccupied with their rankings and neglecting the everyday crimes that plague the streets. Despite having hundreds of heroes, the wheels of law turn slowly, leaving regular people to suffer. Something must be done!





General Personality: Kenneth is an American and a Pro Wrestler, so he comes with all the confidence and showmanship one should expect. He brings a competitive spirit to everything that’s easily mistaken for anger given his size, exaggerated movements and lack of personal space.

But underneath that intimidating exterior beats the heart of a true hero. Kenneth's towering presence and excitable nature often overshadow his true essence – a kind soul with an unwavering dedication to doing right by his fellow man, even at great personal and physical cost. Fearless in the face of danger and often the first to throw himself headlong into conflict on whatever side needs saving.

Full of boister and bombast, there is rarely a dull moment involving him, whether warranted or otherwise. He’s the type to call his attacks by name.

History: Born on a farm in the heart of Arizona, Ken's journey into the world of professional wrestling began as soon as he could walk and talk. From an early age, he displayed natural athleticism and a fierce determination to succeed. Inspired by the larger-than-life personas of wrestling legends and pro heroes alike, he embarked on a quest to carve out his own legacy in the squared circle.

With calloused hands and a fire in his eyes, Kenneth spent years training in the gym, competing in local events and working his way up through smaller promotions. Finally, he received his big break when he signed with the WWE and stepped into the national spotlight that he had been craving for so long.

With his imposing stature, boundless charisma, and lightning-fast strikes, he quickly became a fan favorite.

Ken's rise to stardom was nothing short of meteoric. The fans hailed him as a hero, their unwavering support propelling him forward. And soon, his victories began to pile up. In one legendary match, Ken faced a behemoth of a man known as "The Titan," whose quirk allowed him to change size. With sheer brute strength and unparalleled agility, Ken managed to overpower The Titan and claim victory, solidifying his status as a force to be reckoned with in the wrestling world.

As the cheers of the crowd echoed through the arena, Ken stood in the center of the ring, now crowned "Ken Victory," his heart pounding with adrenaline. But even amidst the glory and triumph, a sense of restlessness creeped into his bones. He knew that there was still so much more he wanted to achieve.

Ken Victory's desire for greatness extended beyond the confines of the wrestling ring. He yearned to be a hero not just in the scripted battles he fought, but in the real world as well. Inspired by his father and the pro heroes he had idolized as a child, Ken made a decision that would forever alter the course of his journey.

Leaving the realms of professional wrestling behind, Ken embarked on a new path to become a true hero, one who could protect and save lives outside of the arenas.

Ken dedicated himself to extensive physical and mental training, honing his skills to perfection. He studied various disciplines of martial arts, learning the delicate balance between strength and agility. His muscles rippled with power as he pushed his body to its limits, surpassing what he thought was possible.

But becoming a hero required more than just physical prowess. Ken delved into the study of warfare and strategy, the intricacies of justice and heroism. As he immersed himself in these subjects, his mind expanded, allowing him to see beyond the confines of traditional, if not overly corporatized, heroism. He began to question the societal constructs that dictated what it meant to be a hero and realized that true heroism transcended mere strength or fame. It was about using one's abilities to make a positive impact on the world, to inspire and uplift others.

News of Ken's prowess and showmanship hadn't stopped spreading when he switched to vigilantism, however, instead spreading far and wide, eventually reaching the ears of the legendary All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW). Known for its rich history and strong emphasis on honor and skill, AJPW was considered one of the most prestigious wrestling promotions in Japan. They were captivated by Ken's story and saw in him the potential to not only be a great wrestler but also a symbol of hope against the heels of their roster. One day, as Ken was rigorously training in his family's private gym, he received an unexpected call. AJPW had been following Ken's journey from afar and was thoroughly impressed by his dedication in training, and unwavering showmanship. Ken's heart raced, and he readily accepted the offer.

Arriving in Japan, Ken immersed himself in the vibrant wrestling culture and trained alongside some of the most talented performers in the world. The dojo became his second home as he embraced the discipline and toughness required to thrive in AJPW. The days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months. Ken Victory's hard work began to pay off as he quickly rose through the ranks of AJPW. His matches became spectacles, captivating audiences with his boundless charisma and incredible athleticism. The crowds were in awe as they witnessed his acrobatic maneuvers and flawless technique. Ken's unique blend of raw physical might, brutish toughness in the face of his enemies combined with signature American fearlessness and bravado set him apart from the rest.

But deep down, Ken knew that there was still a void that needed to be filled. Japan's pro hero scene, for all its glitz and glamour, had rusted under a business-like structure that prioritized popularity over true heroism. True heroism, as Ken had come to understand it, was not something that could be packaged and sold for profit, or conceitedly ranked. It was a calling, a responsibility to use one's abilities for the betterment of society, without seeking personal gain or fame. And so, as his wrestling career soared to new heights, Ken Victory quietly began to don a different kind of mask.

Fighting crime alongside his wrestling commitments has proven to be a challenging juggling act, but Ken refuses to back down. He roams Japan's alleyways and rooftops, ensuring that justice prevails where it seems absent. From street corner thugs to over-quirked monstrosities threatening entire precincts, the Real Deal is always ready to stand up and throw down. Pro heroes can get it, too.







Quirk



Name: Millennium Muscle

Quirk Type: Emitter

Power: Ultimate Muscle Machine! With just a touch, the user possesses the ability to imbue themselves with raw dynamism equivalent to an object’s mass, so long as they are of solid, cohesive matter. The greater an object’s mass, the greater the user’s physical attributes are amplified - like a living battery that charges up with each contact and releases with explosive and destructive power! This quirk is not passive, but rather demands intentional and precisely timed activation that puts strain on all the muscles in the body simultaneously. (Don’t worry mods, the Earth doesn’t count!)





Supermoves: Both Real Deal and Ken Victory host an exceptional array of various feats of strength, agility, and downright death defying stunts and attacks. Though the list would be actual miles long, he has a few notable favorites, whether in the streets or the ring.



Victory Bomb - Ken places an opponent's neck on his shoulder and grabs their thighs. He then jumps up and lands in a sit-down position, causing damage to the neck, spine, and groin. Renamed "Butt Buster" by his ringmates.



Kineti-Cannon - Holding an object of sufficient weight, (or otherwise tied to it by rope or chain,) Ken launches said object as far as he can, going along for the ride! He often lands with an attacking move, if he’s fortunate enough to be accurate.



Wildwind - Spinning on his heel, and using his quirk to accelerate to high speeds, arms outstretched Ken becomes a human tornado! This move has stabilized him after being thrown in the air, prevented him from drowning, and outright knocked him unconscious from misuse.





Drawbacks: When Ken activates Millennium Muscle, his physical abilities and endurance skyrocket. However, the drawback of this quirk is its potential to tear apart his body. To activate it, he must engage all of his muscles at once, which can take a toll on his stamina over time. Despite his impressive strength and condition, he is still a human being, flesh and bone. There is a maximum amount of tension his body can withstand. Much anything beyond a metric tonne, given good form, is as much as his body can stand before his bones could snap, his joints collapse, or worse. If he overly abuses his quirk or if he fights for an extended period, there is a risk of serious injury or even death from his own powers, especially when it comes to his heart - the most vital muscle in his body. Despite enduring bone-crushing blows and matching pace with nigh inexhaustible adversaries, pushing himself to his furthest limits puts him in mortal danger.

The mass of liquid and gas materials are wholly omitted from this quirk, and are thus an unconventional, if sometimes indirect, weakness of his. It's as if whatever is "emitted" from his body as Millennium Muscle activates passes right through non-solid matter and doesn't contribute to RD's dynamic energy output.





Fighting Style: Ken is a warrior hallmark - a fearless brawler and bruiser that has no shame in going toe-to-toe and blow-for-blow with his opponents, accompanying it all with a lifetime library of smacktalk and callouts. He’s in your face from bell to bell, relentless in his onslaught with merciless technique.
