The year is 1951. The World Boxing Circuit has finally been assembled, and it's calling for challengers from all over the world to fight in the ring against the baddest the world has to offer. The biggest of warriors, the toughest of athletes, and the meanest of sluggers, but it's not that bad, right? What for? The pursuit of riches! Money! Fame! Fortune!
But... you're not that champion. You are a nobody from nowhere, and you've traveled miles upon miles to the recruitment facility; where you'll meet your coach. Welcome to Manhattan, USA. Your new home. Here's where your journey begins.
Hello! This is a simple, hopefully long running, adventure focused around a Pugilism minigame I found and want to test, with some changes to the rulesystem to make a more engaging combat experience. The rules presented for the game are right here. Most, if not all combat in the game is done through a puzzle-based card game, and said adventure focuses on these games. (Far more interesting than just rolling for unarmed strikes.) This adventure's setting is a somewhat "modern" setting with fantasy elements and creatures, taking place in the nifty fifties. Asides from the occasional elf, dwarf, or orc, it's modern society.
I'm looking for just two or three players, maybe four or five should the circumstance come. Apply with the following:
Name (Who are you?): Race (What are you?): Class (Level 1, please. You are not limited to any of the martial classes! Different classes gain different abilities in the form of "Specialties" as the adventure goes on, so don't feel pressured about what you pick!): Ability Scores (Any method's fine.) Background: (What were you?) Backstory (What's your story?) Country of Origin (Where's your character from? Hometown and country. You can make up a town, but try to keep it at real countries.) Why do you want to box? (Feel free to put this in your backstory section.)
Backstory: A troubled young man from Cairo, constantly getting in fights since his childhood due to his violent tendencies, sometimes winning, sometimes ending up in the hospital
Place of origin: Cairo, Egypt
Why do you want to box?: A sport where you can punch people in the face and get paid for it? That's an easy decision for him

Hey, I will be able to post my character in about half an hour if you'd consider it. Should I use 2014 or 2024 rules?
Yeah, sure! The class features don't matter much in boxing matches, but I'd prefer 2014 as it's what I'm used to. But either's fine!

Okay. That's what I was hoping, so works for me.
What should I do about equipment? What with the whole 1951 thing.
Just start with gold.
