--Character Outlines ----------------------------


Wolfgang Krauser
Krauser Considers himself to be an artist just like Mozart or Van
Gough. Thus he searches for the ultimate masterpiece to beat up on.

Tung Fue Rue
After the death of Jeff Bogard, Tung decides never to retire. But for
what reason...?

Cheng Chinzan
In the old days when Cheng was learning under Tung, Cheng took
advantage of his well known martial arts and lost purposely on a
Street Fight match which was prohibited by his teacher. Although he
became dirty rich by betting on the other opponent, from that day on
Cheng's reality of the world became money itself.

Laurence Blood
After crushing too many living organisms with his bare hands,
Laurence who was once a hero of Spain became a symbol of hatred among
the citizens. Krauser Took an interest in the mad matador
and made Laurence his right arm.

Terry Bogard
Although Terry started to learn the Martial arts out of his hatred
towards Geese who killed his adoptive father Jeff, he now fights in
order to make true friendships out of opponents. Perhaps he is just
looking for true love.

Andy Bogard
Andy who just loves to practice and practice his martial arts came to
a point where he can read the opponent's mind like... uh, a
gradeschool reader (ohh, that's bad. And unoriginal too). But he has
yet to beat his big brother Terry who doesn't have a mind to read.
(Ok, bad joke. He's just undecryptable like the Dead sea scrolls,
that's all!)

Joe Higashi
Joe who is seen by the adults as wacky and immature is seen as a hero
from the kids in Thai who are fed by him. But the only thing he's
thinking during his match is how cool he's looking, even when he's
being punched right in his face.

Mai Shiranui
Unlike the diligent Andy, Mai doesn't give a rat's ass about her
Ninjitsu, and she refuses to learn from her elders because they are
all old geezers.

Mochizuki Sokaku
After seeking for evil all across the globe, Sokaku found it in 3
scrolls which were owned by Geese. Fortunately the scrolls were
burned by Geese already. UNfortunately, since Sokaku fought too much
using his dark force to try to get possession of the scrolls, he,
little by little, started to become evil itself...

Bob Wilson
Ever since getting hired by Richard Meyer to manage Pao Pao Cafe #2,
for some reason Bob seems to be fighting more than before. Perhaps
Richard and Bob's intention isn't to make a living from restaurants,

but to teach the whole world a hurtful lot with their Kapoeira.

Hon-Fu
A supercop in Hon-Kong, Hon-Fu is well known by the citizens there.
He never carries a gun, not because he doesn't need it but because
he'll never be able to hit the criminal. Then again perhaps he
doesn't need a gun at all, for Hon-Fu is a master in Kunchuck combat.

Ryuji Yamazaki
Ever since taking revenge of his Mafia bro', Yamazaki just couldn't
forget the taste of blood, the noise of bones cracking, the sounds of
muscle parts ripping, and the scream of agony as his subject of torture had his knee disk scraped out of his body together with his
bare skin.To experience the Kodak moment one more time, Yamazaki
enters his fight.

Jin Chon-Shu & Chon-rei
Ever since FF3, the two normally peaceful twin bothers sometimes
become unconscious and wake up with blood all over, remembering
nothing that ever happened. Their participation to RBS may be one of
those cases (As well as FF3 and RBFF...).

Duck King
In his childhood Duck was a pretty strong kid, but he was beaten by a
blondie. Later in his life he found out that it was Terry, the
Southtown Hero. Up to today Duck still Practices in order to beat him
at least once, and make it on time to the dance floor as a famous
pro.

Kim Kaphwan
His love towards his Country made Kim a Tae-kwan-do machine. Together
with his hatred towards evil, Kim just may kick himself to victory.

Franco Bash
Ever since his comeback from retirement as a famous kick boxer,
Franco... changed. Perhaps it was the fumes from the airport.
Strong at heart as well as muscles, Franco no longer had any
opponents in the squared circle. Thus he decided it was time to step
out of the ring and into the wide world of street fighting.

Billy Kane
In a Town where the strong live and the weak die off, Geese was
Billy's ultimate idol. As time passed Billy became Geese's right arm,
and although he is as strong as the world's top two nutzoids Joe and
Yamazaki, he stays in second place because of his loyal oath to
Geese.

Blue Mary
Receiving blood from a martial arts family, Mary showed great strength in Command Sambo despite her small and not-so-strong-looking
physique. When a human body comes into her grasp, it breaks into
pieces like a windowsill during the LA Riot.
To study the weakest points of the body is what makes her a pro in
her job as a secret agent, but the ability to use her studies in
daily life is what makes her top class.

Geese Howard
Even after falling off of his own tower for the last time, Geese just couldn't let everyone alone and quiet. Thus although he is already dead, Geese decided to come out in Real Bout Special....
as a nightmere.
