Name: Rio Rollins Tachibana
Nationality: American
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Fighting Style: Meihuaquan
Individuality: Counters throws and crushes low strikes while in a stance (similar to Anna Williams' Chaos Judgment stance)
Tag Partners: Zack (Former employer), Lisa (Former co-worker at Zack Island)
Personality: Cheerful, Adventurous (her anime titled, Rio: Rainbow Gate shows how she faced all the ridiculousness challenges of casino games called "Gate Battles" just to get the "Most Valuable Casino Dealer" title)
Appearance: Pinkish-red hair, vivid green eyes that are always wide and awake
Favorite Color: Hot Pink
Favorite Food/Drink: Gingerbread cookies, ginger ale, cherries
Story: Rio was temporarily employed for 2 weeks by Zack on his island as the casino's hostess and blackjack dealer. As she was on her way back to Howard Resort, Rio overheard a discussion about the 5th Dead or Alive Tournament coming in 2 years from some of the female fighters while on the plane, she got curious and went to witness the tournament as a spectator from the audience. She noticed the familiar faces of the girls she was with on the island and saw the sheer power from them as they fight against each other in the tournament.
So filled with hype, she called her manager and asked for a long vacation leave then with a smile, went to train herself to compete for the upcoming 6th Dead or Alive Tournament.
Trivia: Like Zack's "Zack Beam" taunt, she can do a damage-dealing taunt by accidentally tripping herself down while shuffling a deck of cards directed towards the opponent and guarantees a 10-hit damage when the opponent get hits without blocking.
Intro quotes:
"Have a lucky day!"
"I got the ace in me."
Tag intro quotes:
Zack: "Lets get this party started!"
Rio: "We're gonna have a ball!"
Rio: "Lets show them what we're made of."
Lisa: -stretches arms while walking forward with Rio-
Win quotes:
"I am the Goddess of Victory."
"Lady Luck is smiling on me."
"Rina...? Is that you?" - To Christie
Tag win quote:
Rio: "That was awesome!"
Zack: -tired and collapsed to the ground-
Rio: "Are you alright?"
Lisa: "All in the days work, my friend."
Rio: "Mhm. -giggles- "
Losing quote:
"The cards were probably not on my side."
You made a really good job!
I agree with you, and your character looks great on paper. I could see him training in an old Chinese courtyard, with his cat watching him. He could have a costume like Shun Di in Virtua Fighter, with his cat on his shoulder. ^_^
The thing is, when I try to create new characters, I also try to make characters that could become popular (or at least characters than would not end up like Tengu, characters would have as much priority as babes). Not icons or overused characters, but I want people to enjoy them as much as possible.
I'm not saying an old master is a bad idea, but I tend to think people have issues identitying themselves to the "Chinese grandpa" stereotype : Look at Gen Fu, he was almost cut in DOA5 and Wang is rarely used online in Tekken. No one uses the old guy in fighting games apparently. So I'd rather see TN work on Gen Fu a bit more..
I do love that type of character, they represent the "core", the spirit of fighting.
Sometimes, developpers try to find something to make them "less unpopular". It can be a gimmick (Boschonobitch's comic relief in Tekken, Shun Di's indispensable fighting style). Or you can make him Top Tier (like Gen Fu).
On another hand, I would love to have a Japanese guy on his 40-50s, someone like Hitomi's father, performing Shaoling Kung Fu. He could have like 5-6 different stances. Oh and, ahhhh, the moustache !
I agree with this idea: I would like a similar kind of character me too (btw Hitomi's father is German).

Oh yeah, that's Hitomi's mother who is Japanese.
But you got my point : someone like Hitomi's father would be HOT.
This guy with white or pepper-and-salt hair.

Tried working a bit more on my character idea:
I imagine this guy being very delicate with pretty smooth motions until he enters his stance where he holds his hands behind his back (bottom two drawings), where he starts getting really agile begins ducking, jumping and kicking all over the place.
I kind of get the vibe that he's a man of few words, so I think his intro and win poses shouldn't have him say very much (e.g.: "Amateur" or "Pitiful") - or maybe just not say anything and just utter sounds like "Feh!" or "Hmph!"

I like it. But again, I wish they could give to Gen Fu all these features (the defensive stance, the quotes, the attitude). I really like the concept.
Do you imagine your character having Yoda-like choregraphies too ?

Fighting style : Changquan
Individuality : It's a fighting style similar to Pai's. It incorporates fast jabs, weak holds, acrobatic kicks that cover great distance, and gymnastic moves. Somehow, she is Pai's heir
Name : Fiona
Gender : Female
Age : 21
Nationality : Tunisia
Personality : Confident but humble (like Sheva), loner (like Leon), commited and eloquent and sometimes unethical
Tag partners : Leon (ally then rival), Lei Fang (detective)
Appearance : Short brown side ponytail, lot of tribal jewels with modern clothes, kaffiyeh options
Story : Fiona has just started her law school, back in Tunisia, in order to become a lawyer/detective. One day, she hears about Donovan's new project : he plans to construct a lab in the desert of Nafta, with the risk of removing Berber people and the fauna. She takes part in the 6th tournament, looking for new figthers to join her case. In the desert stage, she meets Leon and tells him a lie : Lauren isn't dead actually, and she knows where to find her. She will tell him the truth if Leon accepts to help her [...] At the end of the tournament, Leon discovers he had been fooled by the young lady. A new rivalry has started. During the tournament, Lei Fang asks Fiona some information about Jann Lee, in order to stalk him. Fiona refuses, telling Lei Fang "she doesn't believe in love anyway".
Trivia : She isn't just an exotic girl to fill the cast. I mean, yes, the more diversity, the better. But I hope she won't just end up being a Zafina clone, just like Lisa wasn't a Christie Monteiro/Elena clone. Sure she belongs to the "ecologic" stereotype, trying to save the wildlife, but she isn't dressing like a wild chick and she has that "lawyer" attitude. She can wear Rachel's suit too (in brown).
________________________________
This is how I see the female roster so far :
Lolis : Kokoro, Ayane, Kasumi, Hitomi, Mila, Lei Fang, Fiona, Nikki
Femme fatale : Tina, Christie, Helena, Lisa, Momiji, Rachel, Ji Yeon

Fighting Style: Fujian White Crane / White Crane Boxing
Individuality: Autoparries high punches like Jacky Bryant
Name: Paolo
Age: 22
Nationality: Filipino
Personality: Optimistic, obedient and loyal only to Bayman's orders
Tag Partner: Bayman (His squad leader)
Appearance: Short spiky hair, 3 leather wristbands on the right hand covering a small x-shaped scar
Story: Not much is known about Paolo other than coming from a wealthy family and being sent off to military school at a very young age. While on a mission with Bayman and his team in the Middle East, they were attacked by an unknown assailant wearing a black cloak. Bayman survived despite being severely wounded with scars on his face and chest. He fled off to Helena in the Freedom Survivor for an explanation after treating his wounds. Unknown to his knowledge, Paolo was actually still alive and tried to seek help and assistance in getting himself treated. Paolo managed to survive.
After the events of the 5th Dead or Alive Tournament, Bayman received a phone call from Paolo and wishes to reunite with him.
Trivia: He's meant to be portrayed similarly like Piers Nivans with how he looks up to Bayman like Chris Redfield. Rig and Leon even regards him as Bayman's new "puppy".

I like it. I love the fact your trying to give Bayman a new partner, for a change. Also, the Piers Nivans comparison is cool. Maybe we could give Rig/Jake his own Sherry Birkin. Could be Kokoro or a new Swedish loli.

Thanks. Bayman needs a Piers in his life now that he finally redeemed himself as a mercenary. The poor guy's been working solo as a freelance assassin ever since MIST didn't gave his pay check for killing Fame and betrayed him.
Rig should definitely have Jake's costume. They look like twins honestly. A Sherry Birkin working for MIST? That would be nice to see. I doubt Kokoro would work for it as I know Helena will take advantage on getting Kokoro in her side. (despite not really having a care on her affiliations with DOATEC and MIST)
Maybe Miyako could have either a Wing Chun or Lui He Ba Fa fighting style. Ba Ji Quan is out of the question, since Kokoro already has it (and since some people will bitch about it, even though we have four Ninjitsu practitioners and two Sambo fighters).

You have my vote!
I am a bit worried about her moveset thought, but I think Wing Chun or Lui He Ba Fa with these individualities could be nice :
- same speed as Pai Chan
- not too many acrobatic moves
- same weak holds with potential
- pressure points with unique stuns
- close range like Gen Fu (tag partner ?)
Now, about the story.. well.. that's too hard. I'll try to make a story later. I don't want something too similar to Bass with Tina tho.
Story wise: May have something to do with Helena and Kokoro.You have my vote!

Not too good at characterization. :X
How about a Seven Star Praying Mantis style? (If we're not gonna put Lion in...)
Speed character like Kasumi/Pai, low strike/combo damage. But, also a grappler (i4 throws, heavy Hi-C damage, offensive holds).
Holds do minimal to no damage, but confer ridiculous amounts of stun (let's say a full +30-60 on each).
Hmm, would that be broken?

Judo Girl
I've been thinking DOA needs this type of character for quite some time. In fact, I was hoping for a Judo-girl when they announced the arcade will have a new char. Hopefully we can see something like her in DOA6
Fighting style : Jitsu or Judo or a fighting style soldier uses
Individuality : Can counter throws and combo throws with frame advantages, directional tsukamis like Goh
Name : Ji Yeon
Gender : Female
Age : 25
Nationality : Korean
Personality : Mature (like Juri and Lulu from FFX), mysterious (like Zafina/Viola)
Tag partners : Bayman (ally), Rig (ennemy), Brad (flirt)
Appearance : Short dark hair, blue bang, haircut similar to Faith (Mirror's Edge)
Story : Working for the KCIA, her job is to stop Donovan, investigate on the Douglas' deaths. Tries to collect informations from Brad with alcohol, then Christie arrives and fights her, because she knows her identity. Refuses to work for Helena Douglas. Bayman accepts to help her to infiltrate MIST.
Trivia : She would be our first "soldier chick" to fill that stereotype
