Main vs. Impact Character Synopsis:

Ogume brags that Etuweh wouldn't have matched him, and that his surving children would not
even stand a chance, that they are even living under their father's shadow. They should prove
themselves by challenging him if they have the courage. People buy into the propaganda.
Osuya gets enraged and falls into the temptation and gets beaten by Oguma to a coma. Onah,
Osuya's sister in her anger falls into the temptation from Ogume to face him and reclaim the
trophy. She begins to training with the top coaches in town, fuelled by her anger towards
Ogume (and some to her brother). She has a mixed feeling of fear of going through with the
challenge and anger to go through with it.. She eventually faces Ogume at the tournament.

Main Character Backstory:

Onah gets to deal with the rumors with her brother that they live under their late father's shadow.
When her brother loses the fight to Ogume and confirms the rumors she impulsively feels the
need to prove what her brother couldn't.

Impact Character Backstory:

When Ogume was growing as a child, he encountered a number of bullies at school and on the
street; they kept taking from him whatever they wanted and he was helpless against them. It got
too much that even his father was upset with him for not making much of an effort to fight back.
His father then enrolled him in a dojo, and kept filling his head with the mantra, "This life is the
survival of the fittest, you have to bounce back so people stop taking you for a fool and you
must be strong and aggressive to be able to accomplish that." Ogume began to apply his
father's theory especially with his new found confidence in training sessions. He went back to
look for his bullies and roughed them up. He felt a lot of rush from it, as he had never felt that in
control in his life. After his father died, he got out of control, and he transformed from being the
bullied to the bully. He lacked a moral compass and empathy as he grew older.

Main vs. Impact Story Backstory:

Ogume beat up Osuya, Onah's brother, almost to death before her eyes; in addition to winning
her father's trophy off Osuya, which annoyed her because they gambled with and disrespected
her father's legacy and memory.

Restitution Level Three StoryGuide

Main Character Resolve: Change

Onah, using her anger against her brother to prepare for the fight is a problem, so she changes
to letting it all go, even to the point of not caring about the tournament anymore.

Main Character Growth: Stop

Onah gets to forgive her brother and stops being aggressive and bitter in order to find clarity and
balance.

Main Character Approach: Do-er

Trains on her own at first, gets Tem to look for a good coach, she trains with a couple of coaches
whose ways are extreme, she settles for one who is unorthodox, she goes all out and faces the
cause of her annoyance, gets past it, gets into the ring with Ogume, fights him and wins.

Main Character Problem-Solving Style: Logical

she believes the best way to get her father's trophy back is to face Ogume, so she begins a
series of training; because
she believes she needs the best kind, she gets Tem to locate the right coach. She initially felt
Asuai was all talk and no action so she ditched him, but knowing he is the only viable option left
she considers some training is better than none at all.

ABOUT YOUR PLOT

Story Driver: Action

Onah trains herself for the fight against Ogume, Tem goes in search of a good coach for Onah,
Onah trains with each of those coaches and settles for Asuai, Ogume goes training with his own
coach Ossai

Story Limit: Optionlock

Onah on the day of the fight, though ready, has decided not to go through with the fight, but
Ogume won't let her go without a fight, even though she no longer cares about winning back
the trophy, she has no other option than to fight him, when he threatens to go and finish off her
brother at the hospital if she doesn't go through with the fight.

Story Outcome: Success

Onah achieves her original goal of winning back her father's trophy in addition to being liberated
from the anger of her brother losing it.

Story Judgment: Good

She finally sees that the true honor is abstract, she draws her power from a more powerful
source. She learns to be free from attachments and as a result is free of inhibitions which allows
her to take advantage of Ogume's weakness (his own brute force) to defeat him.

Overall Story Problem: Pursuit

Overall Story Solution: Avoidance

Main Character Problem: Pursuit

Onah, is angrily in pursuit of regaining her father's legacy. She, like her brother, is in pursuit of
the respect they believe they deserve independent of their father's legacy, while trying to win it
back.

Main Character Solution: Avoidance

She has to avoid fighting Ogume in a game of strength since he is way stronger than her, but
concentrate on his weak points. she also has to avoid fighting him while still bearing a grudge
against her brother.

Main Character Focus: Support

She'd rather patronize coaches that feed her anger i.e. the Bone Cracker and Su-Tech.

Impact Character Problem: Logic

If he can claim the late champion's trophy it's also as good as defeating him. And his children are
no good either so he must win them in combat and be recognized as the only true champion.

Impact Character Solution: Feeling

the satisfaction tht comes from winning his opponent is gratifying to him

Impact Character Resolve: Steadfast

Ogume, despite the fact that Onah has decided not to continue with the fight, wants the fight to
go on anyway; and to make sure of that he forces Onah's hand by threatening her brother's life
if she doesn't fight him.

it was his legacy when still alive. Ogume, does not care about whether the trophy is a legacy or
not and whether the family members feel bad that he put one of theirs in the hospital and took
the trophy of another who had passed.

Main vs. Impact Story Solution: Temptation

Onah still gives in to the temptation of fighting Ogume to win back her father's trophy, especially
