I live in the south side of Detroit born and raised. My grandparents brought me here after my parents died of age I was sent to an orphanage and across from it was a wrestling gym. One day my friends dared me to go to the gym for a few bucks. I agreed and went there. the door took some effort to open and when I walked in no one was there it was barren, empty, and hollow I walked around the dusty place, and in the distance, I could hear a loud bang and noise across the gym. I walked towards the noise to see a man in a jaguar mask practicing on the dummy. I turned and an old man grabbed my arm. The man in the jaguar mask saw me struggling and signaled the old man to let of my go hand. ever since then he has been my teacher
I get money from wherever I can find it. I usually get cash from wrestling matches or street fights. or whatever can pay the bills. I put most of my money towards the orphanage I grew up in if it's for water bills electricity food whatever I can scrape up. The best way for me to make money has been from contracts even though sometimes I don't like what I have to do but there are always lines that I won't cross. I also make money playing lead at blues joints it always helps from time to time to keep my mind off things and pays ok.
Marcus King, known in the streets of South Detroit as "The King," is a formidable fighter with an iron will and a heart of gold. Raised in a rough neighborhood, Marcus learned to channel his anger and frustration into the discipline of martial arts. His ambition is to rise above the violence and poverty that surround him. By day, he works tirelessly at a local community center, mentoring at-risk youth. By night, he rises to battles in underground fighting rings, earning respect and money to support his dreams. With every fight, Marcus gets closer to his goal of opening a better orphanage and martial arts school, providing a haven and a path to a better future for the children of Detroit.
Rico was a towering figure with a heart as vast as his frame, always pushing Marcus to be his best while keeping him grounded with his wisdom and loyalty.
Jasmine was another significant figure in Marcus's life. A local youth counselor, she had a knack for turning troubled lives around. Jasmine's fierce independence and compassion inspired Marcus to channel his strength into community service.
Finally, there was Mac, the owner of the neighborhood gym where Marcus trained. Mac was a former heavyweight champion with a gruff exterior but a soft spot for the kids he mentored. From day one, he saw potential in Marcus and became a father figure, guiding him through the highs and lows of his fighting career.
