Brief Description: Tankman is an older gentleman dressed in military regalia, although nobody really knows if he's served or just some nutjob with stolen valor. He stands at roughly 6'0" and carries himself with importance and a love for vehicle based destruction. His tank is a heavily customized M-18 Hellcat that looks like a mishmash of different car parts, extra tank room for his crew, and a lot of duct tape. [break][break]


[Passive] Ruler of the Road - In his great might and awe, Tankman is unable to be targeted directly by any attack. Instead, his personalized Tank will take the damage for him. This tank is [Custom Made] and has several unique buffs that Tankman benefits from. [break][break]

These are targeted directly and take increased damage from piercing or multi-target attacks. When enough damage is taken, these parts become [Destroyed] and negate the benefit offered while debuffing Tankman. [break][break]

Heat Vent - [Dented] Allows Tankman to use [Overheat] and allows the engine to cool off. Probably not that important. Don't touch. [break][break]

Turret Barrel - [Damaged] Allows Tankman to use Money Shot and basic attacks will always deal [B-Rank] PWR. [break][break]

Tank Treads - [Damaged] Tankman's [SPD] will match the highest [SPD] between Noelle and Rory. [break][break]

Hot Hatch - [Operational] Allows Tankman to use Hot Potato. Very hot. [break][break]

Radar Jammer - [Dented] Tankman is immune to exterior stat reductions. Gives the tank a blue sheen and adds for resale value! [break][break]

[break][break]

[Basic] Attack - Tankman fires off a weak shell, dealing B-Rank [PWR]. This can be avoided [SPD], blocked [DEF] or deflected [STR] if the chosen stat outclasses Tankman's.

[break][break]

Money Shot - Tankman's crew loads an artillery shell into the canon and fires off a round into the track. This deals [PWR] rank damage, but cannot instantly kill Noelle and Rory's car. If hit, their [SPD] is reduced by two ranks.

[break][break]

Hot Potato - One of Tankman's crew aims a portable launcher out of a side window and fires off several molotov cocktails across at the target. This reduces the victim's [SPD] by 1 rank and deals D Rank [PWR] damage to both every second post.

[break][break]

Overheat - Tankman orders his crew to overclock the engine, as the next attack will gain a bonus rank's worth of damage. At least, as long as that heat vent is operational!

Well, that attack was a bust. The shell disappeared into that weird mist thing that blocked the shot that was fired at them. They'd duck into a small tunnel as the Tank gave chase, bulldozing through the minor roadblocks inside of it. Again, the other cars were crunched as the tank continued to speed up behind them. Tankman would be shouting out more things through the speakers as they'd drive single file behind him in order to fit through. The cards, however, were a different story. Two would impact with the tank, causing a visible dent in the affected areas, while the other took just bounced off.
[break][break]
"Pretty smooth moves for some two bit card player and his...what the hell even are you? Some type of depressed scene kid?" His attention was taken away by Rory, who would come out from the car in an attempt to talk with him. Of course, the man was flattered that anybody would pay attention to his brilliance and would looked across at Rory.
[break][break]
"Yes, it is I, the one and great Tankman. Hold your applause until after your skull is crushed into the pavement." He said in a faux hoighty toighty accent. He graciously accepted the buff from Rory, having it applied to his [PWR] and tanking the damage, literally! Sure, there was a sudden dent on his tank, but it was worth it. "Yes, yes. Shower me in praise and maybe I'll think about letting you live."
[break][break]
Rory's offer was quite enticing. It made him seriously consider the offer put forth. He'd rub his chin with a worn, gloved hand while mulling it over in his mind. "Well, I do love high impact violence, but I also love loot. A lot of it." Ge said, gleefully pumping his fist. "Why don't we discuss it now? Here, I'll start off the negotiations!"
[break][break]
The barrel aimed itself at the car again before firing a [Money Shot] at the vehicle the two were currently driving in. This actual round was considerably more damaging, as chunks of the road were uprooted in a wider radius than before. As the smoke cleared, regardless if Noelle dodged the attack, Tankman would give a hearty chuckle. "All of your points, items and valuables in exchange for me not turning you two into blood splatters on the road. Consider that my starting offer! And as an extra bonus, I'll throw in some free booze!"
[break][break]
The portside hatch was opened, with one punkish looking man with an orange mohawk and similar military fatigue that would be holding a strange device on some kind. It was a large firearm but with an open hatch where several alcohol ridden bottles were stored. He took up aim and fired the lot of them at Noelle's car.
[break][break]
"Hahahaha! The booze is actually just molotov cocktails! This is my kind of humor!"

RACE POSITION: 1 / 6 [break][break]

RACE RULES: At the beginning of every NPC post, the two racers in last place are destroyed and the max racer count is adjusted. For example, This post destroys 10th and 9th place, so 8th place is now last place and so on. In addition, every rank reduction in [SPD] causes the party to drop 1 race position for rank of [SPD] lost. Avoiding being hit for a cycle will advance their position by 1. [break][break]
