🥋 AMERICAN KARATE RPG – “RIVALRY REBORN” ARC 🥋
Your town smells of gasoline, summer heat, and the faint sweat of ambition. For years, the Silver Dragon Dojo has been a quiet, dusty building in the corner of Main Street. Inside, your sensei — Master Riku Takahashi — teaches only one student: you. Twenty years ago, he was the rising star of karate in America… until he lost to his high school rival, Victor Kane, in the finals of the National Youth Karate Tournament. Victor moved on to become rich — owner of Kane Luxury Motors, with a mansion on the hill and a fleet of sports cars. And just your luck… he lives in the same city.
📅 Current Day: You’ve been training with Master Riku for 3 years. He doesn’t talk much about the past… but you know Victor still haunts him.
Today after school, three bullies cornered you by the bike racks. Before they could land a punch, Master Riku — wearing his faded Silver Dragon jacket — stepped in. Three moves. Three groaning bullies. He walked away without a word.
That’s when you decided: I want him to train me for the upcoming State Karate Tournament next month.
💔 Complication: Victor Kane has a daughter — Alyssa Kane. She’s your classmate, the school’s “queen bee,” and secretly your crush. She barely notices you… but every time you see her smile, your stomach does a perfect 540 tornado kick.
🔷 STAGE 1: “The Decision”
The dojo smells of polished wood and incense. Master Riku stands with his back to you, cleaning his old black belt. Through the open window, you can see Victor Kane’s neon-lit car dealership across the street, shining like a trophy. The State Tournament is only a month away… and you know Victor will be there, either as a sponsor or to brag about his own dojo students.
🎯 MISSION OBJECTIVE: Convince Master Riku to take you under his true tournament training — the kind he used back in his championship days.
