Character You Would Like To Play: Wilson Fisk aka The Kingpin
Powers: None. However, he is in amazing physical condition and his strength can be measured as 'peak-human'. High intelligence and amazing street-smarts.
Basic History Of The Character (Up until this point): Wilson Fisk was born in Brooklyn, New York, to a single crackhead mother. Scraping by day to day in the rough neighborhoods of Brownsville, Wilson quickly learned how to survive on the mean streets. Often teased at school about his weight, Fisk became adamant at an early age to develop his body into a lethal weapon. By age 15 his mother had passed away and the man that would later be known as The Kingpin dropped out of school to form his own street gang. Wilson was a stick-up kid, but he was also a born entrepreneur, striking fear into the heart of the neighborhood he terrorized. After countless B&E's and armed robberies, Wilson was arrested on aggravated assault charges after he nearly beat a 65 year old man to his death. He was sentenced to 4 years in prison.
However, Fisk's reputation had preceeded him, and he did not remain in prison for long. Word of Wilson's exploits reached the ears of Don Rigoletto, long-time crime lord of Hell's Kitchen, and, impressed by the young man's
talents used his political influence to spring a 20 year old Fisk from prison after serving only 10 months of his sentence.
Rigoletto took Wilson under his wing, teaching him everything he knew of organized crime: gambling, government corruption, sex, drugs, weapons. With his wisdom and Wilson's muscle, Don Rigoletto's criminal network expanded and began to encompass Manhattan Island. Rival families were helpless and forced to succumb to what would be later known as "The Takeover".
Unfortunately for Don Rigoletto, Wilson Fisk was not content being number two, and with most of the hired guns in the city under his influence, Wilson choked the Don out in his sleep, assuming control of the organization.
10 years later... present day. 35 years old, Fisk control the underworld of NYC, with a hand in almost all of the activity going in and out of the 5 boroughs: The Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. He is one of the largest importers of cocaine and heroin in the country and is also rumored to be a major arms dealer. His influence extends into the NYPD, and possibly even into the mayor's office. And while under investigation by the FBI, The Kingpin's ability to maintain a low profile have allowed him to allude the authorities as they can not put together sufficient evidence against him. He is however, suspected to be linked to nearly 1,000 unsolved murder cases over the past 10 years and strikes cold-blooded fear into any who oppose him.
Wilson Fisk. The Kingpin of Crime.
Pre-Mutant, Post-Mutant, Or Other? (Beings unpowered or of cosmic origin): Other... Fisk has no real superpowers.
Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:
1. Bad guys are always more fun =P
2. Fisk is always overlooked as one of the premier Marvel villains because he has no superpowers.
3. I have played 'global' villains in rpgs past (dr.doom). Now, I want to focus on more of a street level villain, and take my rp'ing on a more personal level.
What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person (IE: How are you changing him or her?): I plan on taking The Kingpin back to streets of New York City. Drugs, Arms, Gambling, Murder, Corruption. This will be a Wilson Fisk that will be all about 3 things: Money, Power, Respect. He will be less high-class businessman and more mob boss. Think Michael Corleone meets Frank Lucas. This will be like the best gangster movie you ever saw.
Two Complete Sentences In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player): I will bring a villain that will challenge the street level heroes of this RPG. Kingpin will bring a different dynamic to the villainy aspect of this game.

The Thief's Theme, play me at night they won't act right...
Understandable smooth **** that murderers move with...
It's midnight in Hell's Kitchen, but in the city that never sleeps, midnight means nothing. The neighborhood buzzes with activity... New Yorkers absorbed in their own self-involvement, giving no indication to the world around them, to the city that has been slowly rotting from the inside for the past 10 years. Their city.
It's midnight in Hell's Kitchen, and a black Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up to the front of what appeared to be an abandoned warehouse. The back door slowly opened, and through the shadows, a behemoth of a man slowly emerged from the car. It's hard to see in this light, but the silhouette cast by this man's frame suggested he was nearly 6'5 and close to 400 pounds. He made his way into the warehouse, closely followed by 3 other men who, while not as large as the first man, were definitely no slouches either.
"Well?" The Kingpin's voice resonated and echoed off the walls. Rats scuffled across the floor as Wilson Fisk made his way across the darkened warehouse. He was addressing a man who was standing in the centre of the floor, and who had obviously been waiting for him.
"... Sorry Boss. There was a problem and, well... he got away." The man swallowed hard, visibly shaken.
It's midnight in Hell's Kitchen, and malice swarmed The Kingpin's body, a menacing scowl now evident upon his face. Failure was intolerable, as far as he was concerned, and Wilson kept this in mind as he grabbed the man with both of his gorilla-like hands and began to choke the life out of him.
"That, my friend..." he said as the man gasped for his life and began to cough and spit blood,
"is a problem." Slowly, the man's eyes began to roll into the back of his head until all the life was choked out of him.
The Kingpin tossed the now lifeless man aside like a rag doll, took out his handkerchief and began wiping his hands.
Take care of this," he said to the men who had followed him inside, while making his way back to the car.
"And do it properly. I've gotten enough blood on my suit tonight."
It's midnight in Hell's Kitchen, and The Kingpin was going to work.
