Martavious

From LiberationMUSH Wiki



"Who is the happier man, he who has braved the
storm of life and lived, or he who has stayed
securely on shore and merely existed?"
~ Hunter S. Thompson; "Security" (1951)

Background & RP Hooks


Martavious Mt Dew (or Mountain Dew, you know how brands are these days) is a man who has purportedly lived in Los Angeles his entire life. A lifelong denizen of SoCal he’s always moved to the beat of his own drum having dabbled his fingers in a bit of different areas. Of things he claims to be proficient in include:
⚫️ Driving (LAPD disagrees, having given him 8 speeding tickets since he got his license and one Disorderly Conduct related to a car accident. Martavious was actually found not at fault but the ensuing argument he had even after emergency personnel arrived to the scene ended with him spending a night in jail)
⚫️ Piloting. He once took piloting lessons after winning $20,000 on a lottery scratcher after a late night liquor store run. He’s actually a competent pilot but was barred from the field for smoking in the cockpit.
⚫️ Martial Arts. He learned from a local homeless man, Flash Hands Stan, who urban legends claim had the fastest hands in the LA Metropolitan Area but lost everything due to embezzlement charges (charges he maintains he’s innocent of). Stan (if that is his real name) struck a friendship with the eccentric man over cheeseburgers and beer, as Martavious took a quick liking to the man who he said had “Goku Energy”. Stan was actually a practitioner of the martial arts and so is Martavious, even if he lacks the formal colored belts of formal training to prove it.
⚫️ Gambling. One of the side gigs Martavious dabbles in; he’s actually gotten decent at it. He claims to have won his car in a game of poker and then paid for the mountain dew soda color paint job in a game of checkers. Whether or not that’s the whole truth is another question.
⚫️ Athlete. No, really. He may not look like one under the colorful suits and eclectic wardrobe choices at times but at one point he was considered a potential Minor League Baseball developmental prospect for the MLB after lighting the scoreboard up during his senior year in high school. Martavious however, scorned he was selected in the 27th round of the MLB draft swore off baseball for good. To this day seeing a baseball makes him want to throw it into the gutter at 95mph
⚫️ The Occult. Ghosts are spooky, and they’re real! Martavious claims to have once spoken with the ghost of Curly Howard of The Three Stooges; he was actually alright though. However Martavious may or may not have fallen asleep to a New Years Eve marathon and had a cold pizza induced dream.
⚫️ Meditation. Flash Hands Stan knew how to keep his cool and to focus his attention on the crucial moment (if only that could’ve helped him in court) and Martavious picked up a few things from him here during their various sessions with burgers and beer. His version of Zen may be a bit different from the norm, but when it’s go-time he knows how to get into the zone.
⚫️ Fencing. He learned a bit from imitating Gomez Addams and to the surprise of many actually showed to have a bit of a natural, inherent aptitude and talent for it. The Fencing Association of Greater Los Angeles however eventually put him on indefinite suspension for flinging hot dogs and marshmallows at the wall in addition to using the swords to roast kebabs over the fire.
⚫️ Empathy. Is he Dr. Frasier Crane? No, but he’s listening. As a man that speaks his mind, no matter how outrageous or thought provoking he’s a surprisingly decent listener too and he loves to connect with people who are free to be themselves.
⚫️ Streetwise. Ronnie has THE BEST weed in all of south central!

Of course, a lot of questions surround Martavious, such as who are his parents? What happened to them? What is his real name? Why Mt Dew? Will The Fencing Association of Greater Los Angeles ever lift his suspension? What is his IQ score? Why did he wear that bowtie with those shoes and that shirt? Is his hair insured by Head and Shoulders? What team selected him in the MLB draft years ago? One of the things that is clear is that he’s currently in a relationship with his girlfriend, Harleen Nicole May and he currently resides in Venice Beach. For everything else, there’s not only Master Card but the crazy game called Life.

Soundtrack

Kongos ~ I'm Only Joking
There is a song
You're trembling to its tune
At the request of the moon
Licking her chops, she looks at the lunatics
She needs another fix
I'm only joking
I don't believe a thing I've said
What are you smoking?
I'm just a-fucking with your head
Only a crazy little thing I read
