Eric Lawson

Eric “Lawless” Lawson is no stranger to fighting.  Having wrestled in high school, Eric was introduced to mixed martial arts by friend, UFC legend and Fight 4 Your Life supporter Urijah Faber, who he had met while attending UC Davis.  He quickly took to the sport.

Due to his successful career as a mixed martial artist, Eric knows what it’s like to step into the ring, or, in the MMA world, the cage.  His time as a professional fighter for MMA promotions Strikeforce and Gladiator Challenge taught him the keys to being a victor, not only in sport, but in life, carrying over to his career as a mortgage consultant, which he has also experienced great success in.

Another fun fact about Eric is in his youth he was a bit of a wild child.  His endless energy carried over well into extreme sports.  At one point he was a full time BMX competitor.  Many races did he win on the tracks.  Long story short, through his “live life to the fullest” mentality Mr. Lawson has found the equation for being a champion.  Success is in his DNA….a prime trait he shares with Fight 4 Your Life character and villain Hanson Hansome Kelly.

Having had a couple small roles in fighting based feature films TKO and Never Surrender, Eric caught the acting bug during his time as a professional mixed martial artist.  In fact, he claims:

 

“I actually had always wanted to act since I was a kid.  It was just one of those things that I never got a real chance to try.”

 

When the phone rang with the offer to go out for a lead role in F4YL, Eric was quite surprised.  His excitement was only challenged by his work and life responsibilities.  But in the end, after being offered the role, he knew playing Hanson Kelly was just too good of an opportunity to pass up.  No matter his schedule, he was determined to make it work.

 

“I just decided you only get opportunities so many times in life….I knew I would regret it later if I passed this movie (Fight 4 Your Life) up.  It was too awesome!”  – Eric Lawson

 

Eric played perfectly as Fleet Blackwood’s rival.  Truly, we couldn’t have asked for a better man for the job.  Thank you for all your hard work!  Look out for Eric’s future projects.  You never know where this social chameleon will turn up!

And if you’re ever in need of a mortgage revamp, please be sure to contact Eric at Pacific Funding Group in Concord, CA, where he is a Senior Mortgage Consultant.  His direct number is 925.771.4211

Hanson Hansome Kelly

Hanson Hansome Kelly

Hanson Hansome Kelly

Hanson, or Hansome, as is the name he adopted early on in his boxing career, is Fleet’s long time foe.  And, yes, he spells Hansome like that for a reason, as does he choose to leave quotations off.  Why put quotations on something that’s true?….that’s his thought on it, anyway.  Are you beginning to sense the type of guy Hanson is?

The rivalry between Hanson and Fleet goes back to high school, where Hanson relished in his own popularity while bullying other students along with his click of Hanson worshipers; his lifelong friend, Craig, being his most devoted lackey.  No one ever really questioned why Hanson was the way he was.  They were usually too busy trying to avoid his punishment.

In terms of personality, not much has changed for him since his secondary school days.  Egotistical and as arrogant as ever, Hanson is the classic guy everyone loves to hate.  But, fortunately for him, he can back up his mouth with his fists.

A true, uncontested champion boxer, Hanson would never admit it, but he does in some way feel some hesitation towards fighting Fleet.  There’s just something there in the back of his mind that he can’t get over.  And this inkling of doubt has been with him since his rivalry with Fleet began.  It’s strange to him why Fleet affects his mind at all.  He’s defeated so many excellent fighters along the path to his current title.  Who is Fleet Blackwood, but just another chump trying to take his belt and stop his greatness?

Just like Fleet, Hanson values the sport.  He trains hard and doesn’t fall victim to the hype….too much.  He also gives respect when he feels it is due.  The problem is he doesn’t feel respect is due for most people because most people are basic punks that haven’t earned &#!^.  Tony, Fleet’s trainer, is someone Hanson does respect.  In another life he may have even trained under Tony.  But that’s another life!

In this life Hanson is who he is.  And no one but him and his boy Craig really have any idea of what he’s been through.  Fleet isn’t the only one who’s come up rough.  They come from the same city, after all.  And Hanson’s not going to change for anyone.  Anyone who thinks he should can go $@%! themselves.

This includes his manager, Cecil.  Hanson can see through this snake’s games like glass.  But he also recognizes Cecil’s value and connections.  This is why he signed with him in the first place.  Plus, despite what people think of Hanson, he isn’t totally heartless.  The financial troubles of his long time trainer, Henry, quite possibly had some play into why he signed so quickly with the devil that is Cecil Claremont.

All roads since have lead Hanson to this night, the night he is finally set to face Fleet.  And he sees it as his opportunity to do what he’s been saying he would do to Fleet for years….knock him the @%#* out!

Craig

Craig aka Hanson's Sidekick

Craig

Behind every great douche bag is another great douche bag.

Oh, Craig, why can’t you just shut up?

Lifelong friend of Hanson, Craig grew up getting picked on as a youngster, that is, until he met the future champ on the playground way back in second grade.  Tired of hearing his crying, in fact, annoyed by his crying, Hanson stuck up for Craig and beat up the bully that was torturing him.  Oh, how the tables then turned…..

From that day forward Craig has seemed to never leave Hanson’s side.  He remains Hanson’s most trusted friend, doing whatever is necessary for Hanson’s safety and needs.  If you ask Hanson, Craig is his brother and nothing less, holding the loyalty Craig has shown him throughout his life very near.  Craig would say the same.

The two together are sure to always rile a crowd, with Hanson Hansome Kelly serving as the arrogant enforcer and Craig dishing up a seamlessly never ending meal of words.  Craig’s talent for vocal annoyance, aka a big mouth, has blessed him as much as it’s caused him trouble though.  One of his many duties has been to act as Hansome’s hype man.  He has also made a nice side career as a promoter and business entrepreneur.

Craig once may have been the kid everyone picked on, but Hanson made sure Craig learned to hold up his dukes long ago when they were still kids.  So, Craig is actually not a bad boxer himself, although it’s always been more of a hobby for him and a way to further help Hanson through being able to train with him.

When Hanson began training with Henry Page it was actually Craig that introduced the two.  Even as a teen Craig could see Henry was the best option for his friend.  And he continues to only want the best for Hanson.  It’s just too bad for Henry with Hanson came Craig, and with him years of utter pain in his @$$!  But Henry’s learned to deal with Craig.  He’s had to for the sake of Hanson because the champ would rather eat glass than ditch his loyal companion.

The only point anyone can make against Craig’s devotion to his friend is why he wouldn’t speak against Hanson’s decision to sign notorious slime ball Cecil Claremont as his manager.  The truth is Craig talked this over with Hanson to a great extend.  Both decided it was for the right reasons as long as they came at it with an angle in mind.  The two friends agreed Craig should learn as much as he could from Cecil while he managed Hanson, getting on the good side of the well connected manager and infiltrating his network so that one day Hanson can just drop him and have Craig step in, keeping it all in the family.  This is a major step in building their own promoting and entertainment empire.

Not too dumb for a couple of labeled punks.  Maybe there’s more to them than meets the eye.  The question is how well Craig has executed this part of he and Hanson’s “master plan”, as Cecil’s reputation shines with the ability to spot schemes from two miles away.  The snakey Cecil is an expert game player.

Indeed, all in all, Craig’s loyalty to his friend is unquestioned.  The confidence instilled in him from his years with Hanson now busts at the seams, just as his verbal tenacity seems like a beacon everyone can spot from a mile away, often rubbing people quite in the wrong way.  He could care less what people think about him and does what he wants without a care in the world.  After all, as long as he’s got his boy Hanson by his side what does he have to worry about?

The sky’s the limit.  The world is theirs.  All is in place.  Time will only tell….

Black Leavz

Black Leavz

Black Leavz, Grand Oak of the Dark Oaks

Black Leavz is the eccentric gang leader supreme of the Dark Oaks, a feared and numerous community of thugs, bandits and stone cold killers.  Although he might come off as a bit outlandish, don’t take his peculiar nature as a weakness.  He’s not a dude you want to catch in a bad mood.  And he’s likely to flip any second.  So, watch out!

Smarter than he looks, Black Leavz is constantly trying to prove his intelligence to those around him.  But this often makes him eat his own tongue, as his overcompensation can lead to him making himself sound less intelligent than he would like.  Nevertheless, he is a man of many words, which can be quite overpowering for most people as he uses his speech and bizarre ways to execute mind games.   These tactics are very often mistaken for him being a buffoon or just plain crazy.  Rest assured, that’s exactly what he wants, always keeping his victims on their toes, as well as giving them false comfort, never sure what to make of him, or overly sure of what to make of him.  There’s nothing better to this unique man than to…

 

“….fuck over a smarty nitty willy mutha fucka that thinks he’s too good for Black Leavz.”

– Black Leavz

 

However, Black Leavz isn’t all about himself.  He is also a man who has come to appreciate a good mind, showing admiration and respect for such.  For those he sees as having lesser minds, well, that’s a different story.  If you do fall into his “dumby list”, you will find it better to avoid him altogether.  He tends to look down on those persons who aren’t as intellectually savvy as he, or at least he views himself to be, especially the lesser ranked members of his own gang.  His demeaning treatment can be, uuuuh…..harsh.  And when you’re in his world you better expect nothing else.  Black Leavz plays by his own rules.

Holding the highest rank of Grand Oak, Black Leavz has built an empire throughout the city.  His strategic mind and tactics are unmatched by his rivals, earning him relentless loyalty from the people he considers more of a family than mere gang.  Such loyalty is demonstrated through his right hand and left hand men, E Bud and Rootie-too, who never leave their leader unprotected.

The fact that Black Leavz openly chooses to remain in the cradle of the streets rather than hide away in a more luxurious abode also brings much respect from his subjects, living with “the people” and all.  Some say this proves he is real to the cause, that he is true and hard.  Some say this just further shows he’s cray-cray!  He’d say it’s strategy….and that he just feels more comfort in the streets, where he was born and raised.

But little known to many, Black Leavz doesn’t just aim to maintain his empire at its current state.  His sites are set on expanding well beyond the streets and underground outlets his Dark Oaks openly roam.  Who knows where he has had his vast network of soldiers infiltrate….

With his Dark Oaks following his every word, Black Leavz is a force to be reckoned with.  Yes, his army has grown strong and notoriously intimidating.  One thing he always holds true to though, no matter the situation or his foe, is respect.  Question is, is Fleet intelligent enough to figure this out?

The Dungeon Master

The Dungeon Master

The Dungeon Master

WAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!  So laughs the Dungeon Master.

He rattles your brain with riddles of yesteryear, beckoning your humility to his call.  Will you heed his invitation?  Or will you burn in his magnificent blaze?

More than bountiful are his words exclaimed, boasting his power like beautiful peacock’s plumage to shine above all others.

His tales, mythical.  His world is one of legend…..Much sounds the way of fantasy….But what men dare lay challenge to his proclaimed truth and might?  For his minions worship his command at any moment, protecting their master.

Role the dice well, Fleet.  For no mere mortal shall pass through the Dungeon Master’s realm so easily!

Mrs. K

Mrs. K

Mrs. K

Loving mother, human example….YEAH RIGHT!  Mrs. K isn’t a bad woman…but she isn’t the most kind-hearted of people, or the most outstanding of citizen.  She loves cutting up her son in front of his friends to get her kicks….and they love laughing at him.  Poor Johnny!

One thing’s for sure, Mrs. K demands respect.  She doesn’t take s%!* from anyone.  With the mistakes she made in the past, her life’s been hard enough and she refuses to let herself be walked on, especially by her son’s band, which she reluctantly allows to practice in her garage…on her terms.  Thing is, does Mrs. K really hate her son’s band that much, or, does she secretly just like the attention?  Well, Fleet might just have to ask her….
