Congrats on being the new owner of the gym! I've been meaning to get a membership for a while, to be honest, but between the hospital and helping out around the ranch I never really have the time to actually go to the gym so I haven't wanted to pay for something I wouldn't use. But that being said, that's still a great welcome home present! And I'm sure your mother's happy to have you back?

Oh! Where are my manners. It's nice to meet you! I'm not sure when you left, and I could be incredibly self-centered when I was younger so if we've already I apologize, but I'm Jasmine Baudelaire.

Now that the paperwork has cleared and its official, you all are now looking at the new owner of Pump It Up Fitness... and seeing as a couple of my new employees have suggested that I join this site in the hopes to better acquaint myself with Bearcreek... here I am.

For those that don't know, I'm Matai Huang. Yes, the bastard son of the lawyer Amy Huang that left town to become a professional fighter and yes, I'm back. For the most part, anyway. Not exactly ready to retire and why should I when I'm at the top of my game?

But regardless, it's nice to meet everyone.

The Huang family name is a name that is well known among the hunter community, one that always produced strong and capable hunters that took down some of the most notorious supernaturals in the world, and with a name that held as much prestige as that, there were expectations placed upon Matai and his fraternal twin. Training from a young age on how to wield various weapons, Matai finding himself preferring either a bow or a knife, and the various weaknesses of supernatural creatures, the twins were more than prepared enough for their first hunt - one that would take them into a vampire den that had been wrecking havoc on the human population of a small town that was in the territory that the guild the Huang’s were in protected - and they both walked away with blood on their weapons and a kill added to their chart.

It wasn’t until the following full moon that Matai and his brother learned a hard truth.

Romeo and Juliet, Jack and Rose, Gatsby and Daisy - they all had tragic love stories but none of them were quite as tragic as the star-crossed love affair between the twins’ mother - Abigail - and a member of a were-creature pride that the Huang family had been watching to ensure that nothing sinister was happening under their watch. They kept things quiet, using the were’s enhanced senses to be able to tell if someone was nearby, but eventually things slipped… Abigail became pregnant and after confessing to her father, her father - the Chief of their hunter’s guild - grew so furious that he made a kill order for the entire pride of were-creatures and with their deaths, the secret of his grandchildren’s genealogy would be left only to him and Abigail.

At least, until the first full moon after their first hunt.

Forced to chain themselves up in the basement that first full moon, both Abigail and her father watched with bated breath to see if the future of the Huang name would be tarnished. One hour into the night of the full moon, it became obvious. While his brother was mostly scared and bored, nothing was happening but for Matai? His entire body felt like it was on fire, his muscles ached and his blood was burning and eventually, a grotesque snap echoed in the basement and everything went black.

When Matai awoke, however, he was still chained up in the basement - the basement that a great many Huang’s had used to torture their charges for information before eventually killing them - but he was all alone. For over a day, or at least he assumed it was at least a day given that there hadn’t been a clock or any windows to let light in, Matai had been left alone until finally, he heard footsteps scurrying down the stairs and he looked up to see his brother who looked… torn. It was then that he learned that his grandfather had sentenced him to death and that they were going to make it look like he had lost his life on the job but Matai’s brother hadn’t agreed and, instead, he was there to free him. And after a quick and tearful goodbye, Matai left the only home he had ever known and he had to learn how to fend for himself.

Leaving the state of Washington, Matai had to learn to do something to be able to survive and, luckily, he had found that there was one thing he was great at that people often underestimated on - fighting. Settling in California, Matai began to take part in underground fighting rings throughout the state, earning a good lump sum of cash that he was able to use to be able to afford to rent out a motel room. But more importantly, it also earned him the attention of an MMA trainer. The trainer, a dragonkin that had seen the promise in the young were, had approached him and offered him with an opportunity to come fight under him and that he’d make him great. Matai, liking the idea of great, was more than quick to follow suit.

Joining the man’s gym, suited to training supernatural creatures on how to fight - and teaching weres, vampires and dragonkin how to fight humans without drawing suspicion or seriously injuring them - Matai found a sense of family with the ragtag bunch of misfits and while Matai had long decided to forget about his mother and his grandfather, he couldn’t help but always think about his brother. Still, the more that he fought, the more that he was seeing the name Huang being talked about on the message boards as he became more and more of a Middleweight fighter that people wanted to see. And, after several years of self-loathing over his status as a were-creature, he decided that the best moniker for him to use? It was Matai “Bàozi” Huang - a way to find a sense of pride in who he was while also spitting at his grandfather’s legacy all at the same time.

Now, fresh off his third Middleweight championship, Matai has decided to head to Alexandria to see what all the fuss was about. Hearing talk about the place from both his coach and some of his fellow fighters, he figured that it might be a good place to take some time off and relax. And if he needed to somehow keep in shape and keep his moves from getting rusty? Well, he was sure there’d always be a dragonkin or a were-creature down to wrestle.

[oliviaxwestons]

I have! But apparently I'm raising a mini-Sherlock Holmes because she's starting to realize that Amazon packages in November and December tend to be birthday or Christmas presents. If I have to, though, I suppose I could order it on Amazon and just have it sent to my office at the University.

That's okay! I appreciate the attempted help, regardless. And welcome back to town! I'm sure others have said it, but still. Welcome home! I hope it's been nice to be home, at least?

This may seem like the obvious answer but... have you tried Amazon?

I can't say I'd be much more help... I've only really just moved back here, so I can't say I know what all is here and what all isn't. Good luck on your quest, though.

[unveilhq]

we have THREE new wanted connections!

did you hear matai huang (lewis tan), our resident were-creature, is looking for their fraternal twin? they’re a 34 old human/were-panther/vampire (depending on the story you go with) who arrived in the chateau UTP years ago. they look like ross butler, victor zheng, ni han jin, liu haikuan, any chinese or half-chinese character. the player does require you to contact them prior to filling this out. - matai and his twin were born to a hunter's guild and depending on your faceclaim will depend on whether they are full siblings or not (still twins, just... twin half-brothers). if full siblings, their dad was from a were-panther pride and if half-siblings, your muse could still be human or have eventually been turned into a vampire. - @unveiledveins

did you hear giovanni d'angelo (frank grillo), our resident vampire, is looking for their childe? they’re a 800-950 year old vampire who arrived in the chateau 50-100 years ago. they look like sidharth malhotra, kj apa, tom hardy, sinqua walls, open to others. the player does not require you to contact them prior to filling this out. - this is giovanni's first progeny, and the one he views as the "heir" to his empire. definitely his favorite. @unveiledveins

It's nice to meet you, I'm Caiside, but everyone calls me Cassie except my da. I'm afraid I've only been in town for the last year or so, so I have absolutely no idea who you are, but good on your for following your dreams! And I agree with the sentiment about not giving up. Why should you give up on your dreams when you're still young and in your prime? It'd be one thing if you were a bodach, but you're not. You're still young and full of life. My da was initially against me making a career with my writing, but now that he's seen how successful it can be he's supportive.

Even though you're not doing what your ma imagined for you, I'm sure she's still proud of you for making something of yourself. Especially if you're the new owner of a gym and a successful professional fighter.

Now that the paperwork has cleared and its official, you all are now looking at the new owner of Pump It Up Fitness... and seeing as a couple of my new employees have suggested that I join this site in the hopes to better acquaint myself with Bearcreek... here I am.

For those that don't know, I'm Matai Huang. Yes, the bastard son of the lawyer Amy Huang that left town to become a professional fighter and yes, I'm back. For the most part, anyway. Not exactly ready to retire and why should I when I'm at the top of my game?

But regardless, it's nice to meet everyone.

[riverjacksonx]

Well, hey, that's awesome! Congrats on the new business, and it sounds like a welcome back is in order as well. Hopefully things haven't been too much of an adjustment for you. And sounds like you're still doing the professional fighting thing? How long have you been doing that? Sorry, I wish I could say I follow the sport more, but I've always been more of a hockey guy. And even that I don't catch very many games of.
