#Seris' favourite patient is Inara

[paladins-moshpit]

Flying fists aka Boxing au

This is a mess born from discord but everyone wanted me to post it so here it is.

All anyone needs to know jumping in are the divisions i’m using which are: fly > straw> bantam > jr lightweight > lightweight > welter> middle > jr heavy > heavyweight

The two main organizations/Gyms that sponsor tournaments and everyone knows their names, that would the Magistrates and the Paladins, the rivalry is 100% fake but they play it up as much as physically possible for the hype factor.

Ash is the Middleweight headliner for the Magistrate gym, possibly even the champion. Her matches against Inara, the Paladins own middle-weight headliner, are something to look forward too as they fight for the belt. The two are both known rivals and household names.

Tyra is a Lightweight who’s trying to do the impossible and take on the entire middleweight division aiming to face Ash. Originally from the Sentinel gym who transferred over to the Magistrate after its collapse she’s now swapped over to the Paladins after her contract ran out. while her main goal is to defeat Ash she’s always wanted to fight her own gym-mates where there are real stakes lines up.

The sentinel was an Old gym that fell apart shortly after Viktor lost his title as Welterweight champion and was forced to go into rehab due to injury; Everyone just moved on to other gyms. viktors finally making his return to the ring on the Magistrates side with a new but shortly lived hairstyle. Not even strix would let him keep it.

Terminus is the Magistrate’s prime Heavyweight headliner with an undefeated streak coming out of a 3 year retirement. Previously he fought for the paladins and is a big point of contention for fans and papers alike.

Mal’damba is an ex-boxer forced to retire due to being a sufferer of Fibro, He created his own gym, uncreatively named Wekono with a certain snake as its mascot and pet. He now spends his time training and coaching other boxers, primarily Flyweights. This includes Ying a newcomer, 2 of her sisters,The eccentric Willo, Pip, and previously Fernando who is now the Middleweight headliner and champion for the Magistrate. The latter of which unfortunately is a personal headache of his due to actions in the aka “I didn’t train you to act like this”

Fernando joined the magistrate in order to emulate his old Shining Knight, the previous Middleweight champion that unfortunately retired when Nando was brought on board. The magistrate gave him a very hype-focused backstory believing he would be one of their hottest ticket sellers and Fern unironically believes it. Mal is usually brought back to assist in his training via personal request. This flirtatious disaster will flirt with just about anyone and can never seem to catch a break, even Skye wont return his flirting and is completely exasperated with him. 

Alongside Ash, Skye is a Major headliner for the Bantamweight women’s division on the Magistrate’s side. Her fem-fatale personality an over the top act put on for the audience and her opponent alike, while off the ring she has a somewhat different personality. This doesn’t stop her from briefly kissing her opponents mid-match in order to throw them off, especially if it happens to be Evie or Maeve. Evie (bantamweight) is an odd sort living with Skye that travels between gyms and orgs on a near daily basis, clearly not set to a contract but rather brought on for individual matches and thus you’ll never quite know who she’ll be fighting for next.

Maeve is an off the streets bantamweight up-and-comer quickly climbing her way up the rankings as the Sole Headliner and reason for the Cats-eyes gym staying afloat. Previously she used to fight in underground matches, where she would bluff defeat by letting her opponent get the upper hand early on before decimated them when most bets were placed on them; her opponents included both men and women. She was forced to take things legit when her face started getting recognized and thus started making less money.

Kinessa is a Lightweight who likes to hop around between gyms and tends to find herself sticking with the magistrate more often than not. The girl started off in the underground fighting in any ring she could until she caught the eye of Strix an ex-sentinel and current trainer for the magistrates main gym. While mostly fighting in legal matches nowadays this doesn't stop her from going back to the underground when she feels like it.

Khan is the Magistrates Jr. Heavyweight headliner and has the personality to boast for it with Lian standing in as his second and personal trainer right beside him. as Lian is a second for him so is Khan as second for her when she enters the Lightweight ring. The two are considered their own little team within the magistrate and are allowed to for lack of better term wave their own flag, House Aico is greatly respected within the ring.

Like Mal, Jenos has his own gym, granted established far earlier than Wekono. While never really producing any noteworthy Boxers before, Jenos managed to snatch up Buck an ex-wrestler and ex-sentinel and magistrate boxer for his own. In order to sell tickets the magistrate and jenos both love to play up his leaving as a treacherous rivalry.

Zhin is a self proclaimed lightweight “Heel” that does his best to hype his image as a ruthless tyrant, from his own little hole in the wall gyme that not many have heard from, however with him as its lead boxer it’s starting to grow a name for itself. No one has been able to tell him heels are not a thing within boxing yet.

Cassie is a Lightweight who’s new to the scene fighting for the Paladins trying to make a name for herself and attempt to stay out of her fathers shadow, Arturos who was considered a legendary boxer in his day. unfortunately people still remember him and keep refering to her as “Arturos’ Daughter” instead of her own person; she hates this greatly and goes to great lengths to distance herself even moving out on her own and living with Kinessa.

Like other paladins Cassie is currently training under Makoa, an old boxer and trainer who’s well established in the community, and Barik a commission for hire Trainer who’s seen traveling between both big-names. Usually can be seen making friends with Makoa’s grandson and second-in-training Talus who is far too young to be in the ring and very hyped to witness all the matches.

Seris works occasionally works as a cut-man for either side but her main focus is to be the on-site medic for emergencies alongside Grover the old doctor who’s been around long enough to see many champions rise, fall and return; including viktor and terminus.

Grohk is an ex-Boxer who took far too many blows to the head with a skewed perception of things, due to health concerns he now works as a hype styled secondary announcer for a small time gym alongside Ruckus. (Bolt is a big benefactor for both the paladins and the magistrate)

Kharne and Valera are both announcers for their respective organizations, sometimes even joining in on the other’s desk during tournaments to provide insight, with Vivian and Torvald sitting right beside Kharne. Torv more so focused on the analyst aspect of his work.

Interactions i couldn’t fit in:  Fernando consistently tries to flirt with Skye while shes training, getting completely ignored each time but when he hardcore falls for someone he begins to beg her for tips. Skye tries to ignore him but he just gets too annoying for it and threatens to tell someone she likes that she wasn’t just messing with them on the ring forcing the flirtatious master to help the disaster.
