Either Rath or Toshu because they'd be the most likely to slow down and give me a fair chance, or Riddick because he'd be the most likely to let me get a bunch of free hits in.

Rath is quite loaded from the classes he teaches as well as the prize money from all the fighting tournaments he's won.

Toshu is pretty loaded, too, making sizable profits from his business, in addition to receiving the occasional donation from his brother (whose mercenary work pays him handsomely).

Riddick isn't exactly rich, but he does earn enough of a commission with security work that he can spare enough to pay gym membership fees for a certain scrawny lion.

The rest are not particularly wealthy, but also not impoverished, either. They can definitely live comfortably.

As of answering this question (March 2023)...

Rath: 43
Mercer: 28
Hamza: 35
Riddick: 36
Toshu: date of birth TBD, around 26-28

Honestly, I'd love to get some stuff of my characters at the beach sometime. Mercer would probably wear a pair of black Bermuda shorts in addition to his usual eyepatch and gloves -- maybe some sunglasses, too. Rath, I could imagine in a speedo with sunglasses, assuming he isn't just showing up in his gi to practice karate instead. And Riddick... he'd definitely go nude, even if he's not at a nude beach and there are rules for how much to cover up. But who's gonna enforce those rules against him, anyway, right?

Best to worst: Chicken, eggs, fish, beef, pork.

Same as always: a bowl of oatmeal (sweetened with raisins and agave syrup), and two slices of toast with a fried egg on each.

He's gonna be getting a knife in a planned minor redesign, but aside from that, he's pretty pragmatic and could use just about anything in a street fight. Two-by-fours, metal pipes, chains, baseball bats, you name it.

All of them. And all of my friends' OCs, too.

Mercer's parents are alive and well, and he has a healthy relationship with them. Toshu's only biological family is his brother, although their former master is simultaneously their adoptive father. Rath is estranged from what family he has left, and Riddick's family is either missing or dead.

On his hands and over his eye.

For the most part, they all like a mix of loose-fitting pants with tight-fitting shirts (short-sleeved or completely sleeveless). Exceptions being Toshu, who likes loose-fitting stringers that leave his pecs almost completely bare, and Riddick, who generally picks whatever clothes show off his entire body the best

Mercer is the best kisser, no question, but when it comes to best hugger, it may be a toss-up between him, Rath and Riddick.

He does have the tendency to make anything he wears look good, so it might be a little bit of both. Sometimes he just grabs some random clothes to throw on, other times he intentionally picks out a certain outfit. Depends on his whims.

Rath teaches karate and also enters tournaments for the prize money.

Hamza gives yoga classes.

Riddick is a security guard for hire, currently indefinitely employed by a friend of his.

Toshu runs a wellness resort.

And Mercer... honestly, not sure. Aside from the findomming of some of his victims, though, I could kinda-sorta see him as the type to be an influencer.

Everyone is gay, with the exceptions of Rath (grey-ace, but still mlm) and Toshu (male-leaning bi). None are currently in a relationship, though Riddick used to be.
