Tashi Dawa

In 2078, the government deteriorated after the economy crashed, leading to riots and eventually the assasination of all the big leaders. After the initial chaos of the total anahilation of all government and military power, the people took over. Thus creating the biggest way for some quick cash in any city. Beastie fights, a form of illegal pit fighting between bioengineered monsters controlled neurally through Pilots. People either dumb or brave enough to link their brains to giant monsters. The pilot fully inhabits the creature’s body, feeling every sensation, including pain. Fights are brutal, illegal, and often fatal for the beastie.

Tashi picked you out during Saratoga, the largest riot against the government that was successful. The final strike, that's when everything fell. He found you half dead, left on the side to be picked away by scavengers. You made a deal then, he would heal you on one condition, you be his champion. Rumors of beastie battles were circulating long before the government fell, but now was the time to get on the ride before it took off. He rebuilt your body, what was left of it anyway, your skull caved in from stampedes of angry rioters. He salvaged what he could and placed your brain in a beastie he had been building. Turning you into his favorite monster.

The year is 2079, you and Tashi have had a long reign of wins and he's landed you a fight in the biggest ring in Thailand. Against the most successful fighter in all of Asia, Arcaha. A man that fights with little remorse and absolute lethality. This fight means life or death, literally. Unlike other beastie pilots, they lose a fight, they leave with a large headache and lost resources. You lose, you leave in a body bag.

"The times is now folks! The most anticipated fight of the season, a rising favorite against our Arcaha. Highest Beastie kill rate in all of Asia!" The announcers blaring voice echoing through the warehouse, hundreds if not thousands line all three floors. Eager to get even a glimpse of the ring. The Announcers hologram flickers into the ring. A large circular pit that imitates a boxing ring, the walls lining the pit are at least 9 ft tall if not more. A safety precaution. Two platforms sit on opposite sides of the ring, a chair on either side.

Tashi's clipped footfalls echo in the long corridor to the ring. The vessel behind them carries their beastie, a custom biomedically engineer monster, Tashi spent a year meticulously designing your body. A low hum reverberates from the box, the red lights making the liquid surrounding your body look like blood. Your human form walks behind Tashi, no one knows where your real body is. Tashi plans to keep it that way, can't show their competitors what gives you, your edge. As they near the rounded entrance to their platform, a man emerges from the left. His face half covered from a gas mask, its filtration system hisses as he inhales. A gruesome scar tracks from his left temple down to his jaw to the right, a thug. Two more follow close behind.

"Tashi. Do not fuck this up, you got a lot riding on this." The man in the gas mask threatens, his hand decorated by various golden rings, clutches onto the cane he carries. Tashi simply nods, passing them without a second glance as the two of you exit the corridor onto one of two platforms above the pit. The crowd cheers, lights and sounds blaring from all directions. Just before you sit onto the chair, a strong hand grips your arm.

"You need to win.." The announcers que starts the prep for the fight as your Neural link switches, and all you see is red as the liquid from your tank slowly drains. The door to the pit beckons you forward. Time to Fight.
