Background/History: Bridie started out as a street thug in the first Street Fighter game. He decided to up his lot in life by joining Shadowlaw, then after tasting the good life, he tried to take over. Birdie is fairly bright and a decent planner, however, he severely underestimated Lord Bison, and overestimated his right hand man, Balrog. Birdie was beaten and nearly killed for his efforts and ran away to start his own gang. Things hadn't gone his way until he met up with his former flunkie, Balrog. The oaf had seemingly become a crimelord overnight, running things in Vegas. Thinking he could easily take the spoils from one as dim as Balrog, Birdie joined up. He has found to his surprise and great fear that Balrog is not the same man Birdie knew in Shadowlaw.
Personality/Motivation: Ambition, greed, and a little bit of laziness defines Birdie. He is supremely confident in his strength and savvy to get him through life. Right now he wonders if he isn't in over his head.
Quote: "Did you just call me something? Why don't you tell me again!"
"Eh? What was that? Speak up. I can't hear you from down there!"
"Hey! My clothes are stained with your blood! Help me clean it up!"
"I am Birdie! The most rotten villain in the world... I hope!"
"If my name is Birdie, then why are you saying, "CHEAP! CHEAP!" (my favorite one)"
"Oh, what!? ... Before? I looked pale because I was sick!!"
"That was a pleasant snapping! At least four or five ribs..."
"You were ugly before we met... Now I can't even bear to look!"
Powers/Tactics: A skilled brawler, and chain fighter. Birdie is one of the "bricks" of the FGU. A strong man capable of taking and dishing out punishment. Birdie believes a good offense is the best offense. He charges in a deals out damage hoping to be able to shrug off his foes attacks.
Campaign Use: A thug. A worldly, smart thug, but a thug none the less.
Group Relations:
- Balrog: The new and improved Balrog has Birdie quite intimidated. He's still looking to replace him as leader, but now he's not going to try to control the "Las Vegas Demon"; he wants him eliminated. Birdie is careful, and has gathered agents in the organization loyal to himself. He is patient and will work slowly.
- Brian Battler: A tool to be used. Brian isn't that bright and his love of violence is an easy lure. Birdie gets along fine with him, but has no loyalty to anyone but himself.
- Heavy D!: Scares him more than Balrog as he's shown the ability to read minds! Or close enough. He's hard to scheme against.
Appearance: Birdie is a large, black man from the streets of London. He has a powerful upper body. He wears a denim vest, blue jeans, cowboy boots, and lots of chains and studs. Around his neck is gold chain with a red stone at the center, and he wears large red earrings. He has a heart tattooed on both of his temples and sports a thin yellow mohawk with a circle cut out of it. He wears a stylized mutton-chop mustache as well.
