| Bio: | Fandom: Air Gear Version: DCAU Name: Ringo Noyamano Age: 22 City of Residence: Steel City (going to school in Gotham City) Background: For easy compare and contrast, there’s a summary of Ringo’s canon backstory and current role in Air Gear here. WARNING: THE PICTURE ON THAT PAGE IS JUST A LITTLE NSFW. It’s surprising, to most, what lengths some people will go to for their fifteen minutes of fame. Ringo was one of a group of children bred by Cadmus Labs for a project funded by Maxwell Lord that would eventually unleash the Ultimen on the world. The generation that Ringo was born into and all of the previous generations were considered failures, not up to the immense task of saving the world. With the risk of the secret project being discovered, however, Maxwell known to those kids that could speak as Uncle Maxy thanks to the head scientists) decided it would be best to get rid of the evidence and so the rejected children were sent out to foster homes. That was how Ringo and two of her “sisters” from the experiments ended up living with the Noyamanos and their eldest daughter, Rika. Ringo enjoyed it there and the newly found sense of family, especially when a boy her age named Ikki also came to live with them. The two of them grew close and the five of them grew even closer after both of Rika’s parents died, leaving her in charge of raising the rest of them alone. Most of the money they lived on came from Rika’s stint with the local professional roller derby team the Steel City Gravity Kidz. That lasted for several years before they were forced to disband and Rika took up wrestling instead. The wrestling brought in more money than the roller derby had, but it also meant that she was away from home a lot more, which left Ringo (not the oldest but the most responsible) mostly in charge of the household. It also meant that, when Rika’s former teammate and co-founder of the Gravity Kidz, came over for a visit, Rika wasn’t there to stop him from recruiting Ringo and her sisters to the new team that he was starting. Ringo was sixteen when she joined the Steel City Gravity Girlz, an all-female, all-meta team. There was only one real problem: According to the National Roller Derby League Association’s (NRDLA) official rules, metas were prohibited from participating under the same principal that prohibits steroid use -- the unfair advantage. That was why the “all-meta” part of the team description was kept a secret to anyone outside the team. It didn’t take long for Ringo to find out that the reason the Gravity Kidz had disbanded was because a few of the members had finally decided that they didn’t want to cheat anymore. She wasn’t too eager to do the same either, but it was decent money and Rika’s wrestling money had them just barely getting by. The Gravity Girlz quickly became the best league in the NRDLA with the help of its metahuman teammates. They were stronger, faster, sturdier, and more calculating than every one of their opponents, and, when a team actually threatened their spot at the top, they were ruthless. Roller Derby was already a fairly violent and occasionally even dangerous full-contact sport, but when an opposing team showed to potential enough to break the Gravity Girlz’s undefeated record, the coach had them pull out all the stops. Most, if not all, of the other team’s players would be in the hospital by the end of it, the competition was taken that seriously among them. So seriously, in fact, that when Ringo finally decided that she’d had enough cheating and slapping people around, her sister and now-former teammate threatened her should she ever out them to the NRDLA officials. She’d had no intention of doing so, so it was an easy promise to make; she knew that, like her sisters, many of the girls on the team needed the money they made from it to get by and she just couldn’t bring herself to take that away from them. Besides, she was pretty sure that the officials would eventually catch on, no matter how careful they were. After four long years in the roller derby, Ringo, who had long since graduated high school, decided that it was about time she went to college, now that she had the time. She received a scholarship to Gotham University and used the money she’d saved away for herself from her roller derby earnings to pay for the rest of her expenses and started working towards finding a new direction in her life.
