Synopsis

JUST SAW DIEGO'S STORYBOARD AND THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING..I wanted to edit this post after seeing it but thought maybe it could help in furthering what we need to focus on somehow..

EDIT:
Maybe this takes place on a rather smaller scale that relates to Diego's storyboard ideas..A small town where a couple of goons (terrible and nitro girls) are just being ridiculous, riding motorcycles and imagine theyre are making some huge difference? eventually it all winds up at school?

UNEDITED

So, while talking with everyone the other day and bouncing ideas around about this story we've decided to tell, Paul brought up an interesting point that had got me thinking. He was focused on how an ordinary girl in this world we've created is able to fight extraordinary wrestlers. I'll admit it doesn't make much sense to me either. I think I've come up with a solution though that may be able to fill some of the other plot holes as well and allow us to focus on the story a little more.

Solution:
Make story similar to Dragonball? X-men?
How? Certain people in our world are either already gifted or have chance of becoming more like the mutants of x-men. If we do in fact consider this being one of problems we have with our ideas..this will be able fix a few other things as well.

In this imaginary world we've created, although very similar to our real world, feelings of intense love and hate (power of love Tillman said to include) could somehow evolve DNA cell structure of regular humans. Mutations are uncommon but do happen from time to time. To help you understand a little better, imagine for a second that if here in the real world all the immensely terrible or wonderful things happen as a result of these mutations and the mutations being a direct result of the type of loves, hates or interests a person has.. think MLK (his love of activism gifted him with unordinary speaking ability), Hitler (his hate for a great amount of the population granted him ability to influence them), Einstein (his love for science and the unknown gifted with unusual brain activity), Jackie Chan (love for martial arts gave him unfathomable abilities.)

To demonstrate how this fixes things I've quickly written a synopsis that may help in allowing us to focus our attention creating plot points for our "warrior's journey" and move along with our story. Here goes.

Synopsis:

Once upon a time, the world was a very dark and scary place. Seemingly created without purpose, society walked among animals, hunting, gathering and survivng. Unbeknown to us at the time there were random sparks of light in the darkness though that granted great and fearsome abilities to each and every one of its recipients. Society on one hand fought and eventually grew wise with knowledge we gained from our experiences. This gave us the ability to outwit our competitors who were given sharp teeth and long claws. Others were able to breathe under water. The light that granted these abilities brought with it balance to our ecosystem. We eventually began to find strength in numbers as we formed groups that grew into capitals. Through our interactions grew a wondorous Golden Age. A time of growth, prosperity and mutual aid. Greatness walked with us in the streets, each and every man/woman granted abilities contributing to preservation.

Wrestling in these times evolved as a means of debate and elaborate storytelling. It was graciously acted out by it's loving participants, sacrificing, warriors in their own right aimed at to promoting societies values through its use of epic symbolism. Wrestling grew famous and became the center piece of culture and with it the cities thrived. Over time society flourished and cities grew into epicenters made of steel, electronics and glass. Each and every person had their place.

In great light though darkness still lurked in the murky shadows of its own depths, stewing, waiting.

One man, in and out his sacrifice, grew resentful, confining himself a metaphorical cage, another spark. He became dissatisfied putting his body on the line for spectacle and began feeling entitled to more than what he was getting for his efforts. Not realizing the error of his ways, madness and conceit grew within him like a wildfire. His ideas began to seethe outwards, spreading to others close to him, souring and corrupting the natural order of things. El terrible the terrible was his name and pain was his game. From the shadows he recruited among the ranks of lower tier up and coming wrestlers, gaining a stranglehold on wrestling's underbelly. The elite four was eventually formed of a group of so-so wrestlers with extravagant personalities that were loyal to his cause. They took on the wrestling world by storm..gaining a bit of notoriety due to their unflinching vanity and futuristic looks. One night after a nailbiting win, El Terrible and his crew, drunk with power sought a way to gain more power and influence with Terrible's rotten plan for the populace. It was decided in a clandestine corner of town away from the prying eyes of society that the band of misfits would become the new faces of wrestling and monetize the industry. Soon they would start charging premium prices for merchandise and selling tickets at outrageous costs just to witness the spectacle that was wrestling with wrestling's foudation fueling Terrible's egotastic sadistic system.

El Terrible first had to launch his campaign going against the script. He began by ignoring public concern and effectively ripping through wrestling bracket, amassing a record number of wins unprecedented at the time and seating himself in the number two position behind the then champion. The public was outraged but wrestling was the law and in fairness he was reluctantly slotted to face the champion. El Terrible was hungry. This in turn lead to an event only known as The Original Sin. During El terrible's championship contention, a grueling match, the pendulum of momentum swung back and eventually favoring El Terrible's opponent. In an act of desparation one of El Terrible's crew members distracted the ref by jumping up to the platform and yelling and screaming. El Terrible took the fleeting oppurtunity with reckless abandon and landed a low blow on his opponent sending his opponent into near catatonic shock. The referee returns his attention to the match at which point El Terrible unflinchingly performs his finisher, the gutwrench suplex and TKOs his opponent to win the match and become the new world champion. The crowd was in shock. At that point he announces that the crowd should not be worried and there will be changes in the way things work but does not elaborate further. He announces his elite four, the Nitro Girls as the leagues commissioners and also invites everybody to his after party that takes place at Club Suplex where they will serve free punch and cookies. Behind the scenes he buys the deed to the club which he eventually plans on turning into a giant party palace. These events set in to motion what is known as the reform and leads to the events at the beginning of our story.

As part of the reform takes place, other entrepreneurs, in hopes of getting rich follow suit to privatize themselves. Terrible's cronies then start extortion rackets and distributing money vouchers through the city. People scramble to get in where they fit in. In a show of good faith Terrible hosts a Potluck for the town and where he also coaxes local business owners and bribes them with money and power as long as they follow the rules. The gears beginning turning and new order of things begin. Terrible also begins paying gangs that are popping up around the city to quiet rioters that are outraged at hearing of these events. The public is largely unaware of what is happening, confused by the vouchers but continue business as usual. Terrible begins gaining more support in elitist circles and in the spirit of competition goes on a series of less than admirable victories defending his Championship against rebels . Without anyone to stop him, El terrible and the elite four have amass a good amount of fame and fortune through this power move. The public being impressionable wrestling fans follow suit. Capitalism ravages a once democratic society and with business booming Terrible has started construction on his nightclub to build a giant golden wrestling pyramid, the likes of which no one has ever seen, that will hover over the middle of the city for the world to see and bask in it's glory. The Suplex Center will be known as the new mecca for wrestling and its grand opening is a year away on terrible's birthday, an event simply known as BIRTHDAY BASH. Due to El Terrible's business model only winners play and only players win.With that being said, will a champion arise from the ashes and awaken in the midst of such a destructive force. Can a light shine on through the darkness and will there be hope for a brighter future? The future of the city lies in the balance.

I think with this synopsis we can keep a lot of the story Paul and us have created and work on figuring out all the exact plot points as far as the warriors quest goes.

This story is about a little girl's quest of finding the patience, humility, strength, wisdom and loyalty to eventually represent herself and a city and take down a king
