Story: Gene Ruttish had always fancied himself a ladies' man... unfortunately no one ever told the ladies. All his life he'd tried one crazy ATV stunt after another in the vain attempt to gain their favor. For years he's been living by the credo, "Bones heal. Chicks dig scars. Glory lasts forever." Years of trying crazy stunts have made him quite the skilled driver and willing risk-taker. Joining Cousin Eddy's caravan has given him a place to show off his skills and Twisted Metal is his latest attempt to "wow" the women. Gene knows exactly what he wants from Twisted Metal. When he wins, he will ask Calypso to make him the most desired man on the planet. -------------------------------------------- Name of Vehicle: Axel Character Name: Axel Age: 38 Ht: 6'3" Wt: 280 Ibs.

Story: Cousin Eddy was born in a backwater Ozarks pigsty called Sour Creek. You won't find it on any map. A textbook case of what can go wrong when cousins marry cousins, Eddy was the strongest man in town by the time he was ten, though his malformed, inbred brain had stopped developing at age three. Eddy only had two loves: "smashin' things" and collecting "shiny things". By age thirteen he owned all of the shiny things in Sour Creek. After he'd finished his smashing the place was kind of lonely, so he wandered off in search of more shiny things and more things to smash. When he stumbled across the Twisted Metal competition he thought he'd found paradise. Eddy had gathered a band of drifters - "cousins" he called them - who he coerced by brute strength into helping him transform RV into a nightmare killing machine. Now he could blast his way into Twisted Metal. So much to smash.
