The Book of Johnny Cage

[Lazy Orang]

Could someone help with the bio so I can bring this guy to On Deck?

I tend to prefer not to scavenge from Wiki articles (particularly since it's hard to tell what information is most important to make a concise bio, but also because they tend to be written in a fairly dry way), but if it comes to that, it comes to that.

Yeah, Wiki bios are lame. I'll gladly write bios up for people, since I can do it pretty easily at work. Just say please and thank you.

For Johnny, it'd be an honor:

You know him, you love him. He's the OG badass of the kumite, one of the premiere competitors of Earthrealm, and he looks damn good doing it! At the time of the first Shaolin Tournament, Johnny Cage (born Jonathan Carlton) was "just" an internationally renowned movie star and martial artist. Now? He's the real deal baby. And sure, he's not afraid to go for a low blow or talk some trash here and there, but can you blame him? The fans love it! And Johnny lives for the fans. He would break your legs and still sign an autograph after the fight... that's just the kind of guy he is.

Sounds good, I'll use that - thanks!

I propose moving Johnny Cage to On Deck.

I haven't really been following this but this wording seems weird to me:

If you roll a skull on every die, and the defending figure rolls defense dice, the defending figure receives one automatic wound, that figure subtracts one shield from whatever rolls on defense for the rest of Johnny's turn, and you may attack again with either a normal attack or Shadow Kick Special Attack.

Doesn't the defending figure always roll defense dice? And what are these "whatever rolls"?

I believe the idea on that first line is that Spidey would sense the Nut Punch and dodge. Similar thinking applies to Batman, and any other dodging character. It is something we’ve never really done before though, right?

[Lazy Orang]

That was the idea. It felt wrong for Spider-Man to swing away or Hal to throw up a power shield and still suffer from a punch to the nuts.

[Ronin]

nay

As quozl points out, wording still needs fixed.

I thought that was what you were doing?
