Complications:
Motivation (Destroying Fighters)- Remy and his sister were abandoned by their unseen father, who was a fighter. As a result, Remy hates fighters, and seeks to destory them. Therefore, obviously, he became a fighter himself. He will do this by beating the $#!& out of people.
Relationship (Sister)- Remy's sister died, and he froze her in ice to preserve her. He struggles to let her go.
Weakness (Predictability)- Remy, like all Street Fighters, cannot simply "spam" out the same attack over and over again, as the opponent will expect the attacks, and be ready for them (and a counterattack). The third time he tries the same technique (or same combo of techniques) in a short span, he will be at -2 to Accuracy, AND to his Active Defenses in that round. All will decrease by 2 every successive round the same move is done.
Total: Abilities: 48 / Skills: 48--24 / Advantages: 11 + 12 / Powers: 9 / Defenses: 18 (122)
-Remy's one of those lamer SF III characters. He looks fairly stylish, but that's because he's a riff on the SNK character design style- he particularly emulates Iori Yagami of King of Fighters fame, but honestly looks more like somebody took a look at the entirety of KoF, said "what makes these guys popular?", and instead of picking any one guy, simply created a generic batch of attributes based off of visual appearances (sullen-looking, skinny young man in stylish clothing), rather than what REALLY makes the characters popular. He reminds me of how 1990s comic book writers constantly ripped off Alan Moore & Frank Miller without understanding anything ABOUT their styles. He's got a really bad character bio, where he was abandoned by his fathe, who was a fighter, and so he hates fighters. And he fights them by becoming a fighter. Yeah. He's all brood-y and dark and I just can't get into a character this lame. He was a new creation for the Third Strike game (the final version of the SF III engine), copying much of Guile's moveset to give us a "Charge-Based Guile Character"), but never appeared in another game. Obviously, the guy just never took off.
-Remy's a big part of why I "demote" some other characters to lesser status. If I saw him become a major part of the franchise (like say, Alex or Hugo), I could see boosting his stats. But otherwise, he's just a PL 8 who is unproven. He fights rather like Guile/Charlie-types, with Sonic Boom-type moves, an obvious Flash Kick (see, another SF III "clone" character), etc. He's quick and sprightly, however, and has mastered a few ranges of fighting (his Blast is quite accurate).
