*''Z's bike, Big Red, is a massive hog. Its heavy, and packs a powerful engine... making it extremely fast. Anyone who drives it gets +1 to any rolls made to operate it. Once per episode, Z can spend a fate point to give his vehicle a third aspect with one free invocation that lasts until the end of the scene. This new aspect represents some hidden feature of the vehicle that hadn’t been revealed before. ''

'''High Concept:''' ''"Famous Harley Duo Glide"''
 
  
'''Trouble:''' ''"High Performance, High Maintenance"''
+
===Background===
 +
'''High Concept:''' ''Bionic Biker''
  
A classic 1961 Harley Duo Glide, lovingly restored with a crimson paint job and chrome trim. Beyond mere appearances though, Big Red has been tricked out and suped-up over the last 2 decades, making it one of the best bikes in Gang City... if not ''the'' best.
+
Z was experimented on by the government, his strength and resistance enhanced greatly. He eventually escaped, but was too ashamed of his earlier mistakes to return to the school. He took up with a vigilante motorcycle club known as the Knights Errant, who chose to fight back against the criminal gangs. Z always struggled with the 'pacifist' nature of the Master's teachings, and relished the opportunity to do some good. As far as the cops are concerned however, the Knights are just another gang.
While it's performance is beyond question, it takes a lot of time and resources to keep Big Red operating at peak performance. The owner of the Big Red needs to be ready to pay the price of riding such a fine machine.
 
  
It started out as the bike of a renowned biker and street racer, Li Fang, of the Ten Tigers motorcycle club. When he was too injured to ride, he passed Big Red on to his best friend. The famous bike has changed hands several times over the years, sometimes via bets, other times via bloodshed. Z received it from a local mechanic when he saved the neighborhood from a gang riot. He's volunteered to keep iti n peak performance... as long as Z can fit the bill.
+
'''Invoke:''' ''for a bonus when his greater than human speed or strength would be a factor, for knowledge about the various gangs in the city, or when the reputation of the Knights Errant carries some weight.''
  
==Story==
+
'''Compel:''' ''to have the cops go after him like he was a common criminal biker, to have the government look for him to retrieve their 'merchandise' to have his bionics short out or overload at a crucial moment.''

===Rising Conflict===

'''Trouble:''' ''Errant Ways''
  
'''Aspect:''' ''Bionic Biker''
+
Z likes to think of himself as a Big Damn Hero. He rarely misses the opportunity to help people in danger. This has gotten him in trouble on multiple occassions. He found a home with the Knights Errant who shared a similar code... they wouldn't stand by and let the gangs ruin the city. They even wore white leather vests with red markings to stand out... those this make sit easy for the gangs to single them out.

I can see Z trying to stop Nikki because he thinks she's just another criminal (drug running?) racer. (maybe because of the car she drives?) It sounds like racing is one of Nikki's big things, so I can see her getting away, but Z catching up with her when she's out of her vehicle later on. A minor conflict ensues, and Z realizes she's not a criminal... other than breaking speed limits... so she's not really the type he's after.  
 
 
 
 
===War Story===
 
'''Aspect:''' ''????''
 
  
Z met Nikki before he actually ever ''met'' her.
+
Maybe she even volunteers to put her pink slip up on a race to lure out the street racer he's really after?
  
He was hunting down a group of Necromancers... a gang that peddled a harsh deviant formula of meth that earned the streetname 'deth'. He was sneaking into their den but they heard him coming and started chasing him. When he ran back outside to make a getaway, his saw a grungy little slip of a girl trying to steal Big Red. She got away before he could grab her, and he was forced to jack one of the Necromancer's muscle cars and chase her down... all while trying to get away from the pursuing gang.
+
Maybe he caught her trying to steal his car/cycle/ride but she managed to give him the slip. Later, one of the trainers at the school say, "Z, have you met our newest member? Meet Nikki Montoya..."
  
The girl was good and Big Red a powerful bike. Z stayed on her tail for a while be he really didn't stand a chance. She got away clean... leaving Z to deal with the Necromancers.
+
I kind of like it... Z was in the middle of something important, but somebody tries stealing his bike. A street race ensues, but in the process she wrecks his bike and gets away.
  
Z was battered and bloody from his skirmish with the peddlers of deth, and went back to the school to lick his wounds. He was allso pissed... knowing that he'd probably never have a bike that good again. Kyle, as acting head of the school, introduced him to one of their newest students... Z recognized the grungy little girl who stole his bike immediately.  
+
We meet at the school... (which is probably when Z returned to the school after being gone for a few years) and after a tense confrontation she ends up being his getaway driver for whatever trouble he was already embroiled in.
