Reno Rabbit

Best 2 out of 3..?

-- Reno Rabbit

An anxious rabbit man who has a gambling addiction and is 1 billion dollars in debt. He kicks good.

Backstory

Once a professional gambler, now a rabbit with crippling debt and addiction. Reno has lost it all, tirelessly trying his luck to repay his debt of a whopping 1 billion dollars. 

It seems ever since his city got taken over by the wicked Mr. Avidita', everything went to baloney… Prices rising impossibly high, more and more people oddly falling into unpayable debts, barely being able to scrap by or inevitably fall into poverty. The city he called home was changing, undergoing rapid gentrification. He HAD to do something. But what?

The crossroads sounded too good to be true… but what other choice did he have? He hopes to wish for his life and home back.

Personality

Reno is very cowardly and cautious. He’s quick to run away and hide from any sort of confrontation, and even attempt to talk his way out of it. Despite his cowardly disposition, he LOVES to take risks like the seasoned gambler he is. If it means putting his life on the line for securing a victory, Reno will make the unwavering resolution to do it. Feeling the rush of adrenaline run through his veins drives him mad. 

Reno despises the upper class and mistreatment of those less fortunate (since it reminds him of himself). After garnering enough courage, he'll come to their aid and try to help those in any way he can. 

Bro is a compassionate and overall normal guy. If, you know, you can look past him being a compulsive gambling rabbit man failure.

Abilities

Enhanced Agility & Speed

Reno possesses great flexibility and fast reflexes. He can jump great distances/heights thanks to his strong legs and can do backflips and acrobatic movements with ease.

Capoeira (& Taekwondo)

Undergoing harsh training when he was a lad definitely paid off! (he doesn't remember too much though-)

Reno is skilled in a mix of the Capoeira fighting style and Taekwondo kicking techniques. Capoeira is a Afro-Brazilian art form that utilizes dance and acrobatics to conceal fighting moves. It is a very fluid fighting style and focuses on the lower body. Movement is constant. 

A playlist I made for reference: Capoeira Playlist 

How Reno's fighting style works: 

Reno isn't exactly a total professional, it's more triggered by natural reflexes/unconditioned responses.

If Reno senses that he is in danger, his body will automatically react to what's happening. Like fight or flight response, if you will. 

As the rounds go on, Reno will progressively be more confident in his fighting abilities.

Double or Nothing

Focusing his strength into his legs, Reno can move insanely fast. Distributing his force can deliver devastating kicks, able to break bone, damage internal organs, and in worse cases, stop the heart. 

One major drawback is that Reno will lose his energy more and more until he's completely drained of stamina. 

「DOUBLE DOWN! - GAMBLER'S RUSH」

This move can only be used if Reno establishes an unwavering resolution (placing a bet) with another opponent. 

If Reno is on the ropes, he will ask the opponent to make a bet with him: placing their lives on the line to win the "jackpot" (victory). No matter what the opponent chooses, Reno will enter a hyperfocused, zombie-like state: Gambler's Rush. He'll block out everything around him and focus every fiber of his being into pure speed. Reno will move faster than the eye can see. Utilizing his speed and momentum, Reno can replicate super-strength through bursts of speedy kicks.

Reno only has a few sparing minutes of energy until he will eventually collapse from exhaustion. 

If he loses, he'll be a good sport about it and happily accept his fate.

Strengths

Quick-witted

Reno is quick to think up random solutions to almost any situation. It might be the stupidest, outlandish idea ever, but it just might work..

Gambler's Intuition

Being a professional gambler, Reno knows how and when to take chances. He has good observation and can sometimes read people (e.g. if they're bluffing).

Never Back Down, Never What?

Once Reno overcomes his fear and is set on doing something, he'll go ALL in. He is very resolute and will do anything to try to achieve his goal. Even if he gets knocked down over and over, he'll get back up with what little strength he has.

Weaknesses

Cowardly

The textbook definition of a coward. He will usually be paralyzed with fear and start babbling nonsense or skedaddle the frick out of there. He'll try his darnedest to not fight.

Just a Little Guy..

When Reno fails, he fails HARD. If he loses the simplest game, drops some ice cream on the floor, trips over a rock, etc. he might cry and break down in unironic despair. One might describe him as a "sopping wet creature."

Weak Physique

Reno has a scrawny and weak build. A much stronger and intelligent opponent could likely beat the snot out of him.
