Mopar Rally RP?

[Orca]

So, we know we got characters to spare with their own histories. Do we have any ideas as to a central storyline?

With this in mind, I had an epiphany while at school today. I'd imagine some Rally participants would bring their spouses and kids along. What if there was a clique of troublemakers among them, sort of like the DRH? Every race has its bad apples; perhaps a few teens aren't to thrilled about having to attend and decide to raise a little mayhem as a means of relieving their boredom.

Or maybe we need something more sinister than that. I don't know. Suggestions?

[ebonyviper]

Anything sinister is where I draw the line in whatever RPs I participate in. The town of Radiator Spring had already had its fair share of trouble and it's unlikely the town residents would allow someone of that nature run amok in their town like a Tony Blitz or a Sam Diamond. I don't think that either Strip or Ebony, who may officiate such a large event, would allow it.

But teenage trouble-makers I can handle.

In a way, I don't know what kind of events would be held at a Rally, so I'm in the dark about that one.

[Insane Pirate Dragon]

Well theres races of course and then for the ones who don't race they have other things.

I'm familiar with Pontiac meets and Firebird rallys (Obsessed with Pontiacs if you can't tell) and they have different awards that they give out.

Here's some basic ones:
Best in Show
Class Awards
Sponsor's Choices
Sponsor Awards
Popularity Vote Awards

I could scan in a better list if you need me to, to get a better idea.

And they have specialty contests as well. Like at some Firebird meets they have a 'Best Kitt' category. Along with a few customs as well.

[ebonyviper]

Heh. I have a thing for classic Ford Mustangs (*coughSlaytorcough*) and Chargers.

So, anyway, I'm wondering what these shows would be like in the Carsverse and how they would be set up in Radiator Springs, since it is a small town.

And how would the locals be preparing for just such an event?

[Evangeline]

I imagine it would be much like a pageant in the Carsverse. There would probably be divisions by age and sex, including classes for mixes and juvenile throwbacks, and might include performance events like a road rally or drag races, as well as social events like parties and cruising. The locals would be preparing venues and accommodations, putting up banners, doing logistics and coordinating with event organizers, etc.

[ebonyviper]

Ah, I see.

I figured that this would take place a few years (I don't know how many that would be) after the end of the Main Cars RP. Huntress and Lyle would be taking their son (I always figured that they would have a son) to his first Rally and introduce him to his model brethren.

Then there'd be the events, all held in different locations of the town, although the races would be held out in the desert for safety reasons.

[Insane Pirate Dragon]

I don't want it to far into the future, unless they want a curious boy that seems to always find a spot of trouble.

But I think I have an idea for a Mopar OC, either a Roadrunner or a Charger throwback. He worked with her in Hollywood and had a thing for Phoenix, who's never returned the same feelings to him.

[ebonyviper]

I think it would be about three years in the future.

So Huntress's and Lyle's son would be about two years old and Ebony's twins would be about three years old.

And a spurned lover relationship is always interesting.

Also, I'd welcome some sabotage in the rally races. One participant really wants to win and sabotages his opponents to make that happen.

[Insane Pirate Dragon]

So we need a sabour of some kind then.

Phoenix by now would probably be well known on the circuit. He comes to the rally hoping to reconnect with Phoenix since she lives in town, only to find her dating Boost. And more than likely he tries to frame anything that goes wrong on Boost or anyone else in what he thinks is a way to win her over and impress her.

I'll need to work on him some, and what creativeness I have is being drained because of finals.

[Orca]

Shawn wouldn't be as shy as he first was, but he wouldn't be keen to participate in any of this, besides probably watch a road race.

I was thinking was that, inadvertantly, the teenaged trouble-makers come to learn of his being in town and maybe the oldest/leader of them decides to do everything in their ability to find some way to lure him out of hiding just to see what it is he's so leery off.

If no one else wants to handle them, I wouldn't mind drafting their profiles. If you do, speak up.

[Insane Pirate Dragon]

Here we go. Just his basics right now. He's still getting worked on. I hate college.

First Name: Vince (Vin)
Last Name: Coopers
Make: Plymouth
Model: Road Runner
Class: Muscle Car
Year: 1969 (Throwback)
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Eye Color: Brown
Current Paintjob: Green and black
Origin: Las Angles California
Profession/Job: Drag strip racer
History: A purebred, Vin with the occasional appearance on film, he first met Phoenix on a set where he was being a consultant for drag racing. He was quickly drawn to Phoenix and tried to impress her with his show-boat ways. But Phoenix made it clear she wasn't looking for a relationship, she just wanted to be friends.

Vin wanted their friendship to be much more than just friends, but never knew she didn't feel the same about. When she left for Radiator Springs, Vin thought she would return back to Hollywood and pick up her line of work, but was surprised when she made the move out there and took on the Piston Cup Circuit.

Now with a Mopar rally being held in the small town of Radiator Springs, now Phoenix's home. Maybe this is his chance to see his old crush again…

Had to take a really long nap.

You know, I think Vince could just as well be our sabatour. He could probably prove to Phoenix that he's a better at rally races than Boost is, which would put the latter in a foaming fury.

Heh. Clash of the ex-boyfriend and the current boyfriend, so to speak.

[Evangeline]

Darcy would be eighteen by now, about to enter university and still an item with Johnny. Trav and Aaron would be preteens by now, and still hanging around.

My other usual suspects would be working on putting this together, of course.

I might bring in my Sideswept truck kid as a juvenile being introduced to classic Mopar society. A youngster of his type would be extremely rare.

[ebonyviper]

I might bring in General Lee and Amber Weathers-Duke, with their toddler daughter, Chelsea Duke.

[Insane Pirate Dragon]

And new/old boyfriend meetings are always awkward enough as it is. Boost probably won't let Phoenix be alone with Vince for to long.

But what would make Vince become really eager to frame Boost is if something happens that guarantees that he's not gonna get that second chance with Phoenix that might add an edge more to him, like a proposal.
