Background/History: Originally a worker at an oil refinery, Zangief came to the attention of the Communist Party due to his great size and strength. He was recruited to become a wrestler and began learning Sambo (an acronym of "SAMozaschita Bez Orujiya" which is Russian for "Self-Defense Without Weapon"). He excelled at the sport, but his strength was such he quickly tired of "normal" opponents and sought out greater and greater challenges. He ended up wrestling bears in the cold wastes of Siberia, but even these matches soon tired him and proved to be not much of a challenge.

Zangief was then sent to fight in a Street Fighter tourney in the Middle East. He won easily, but discovered that some of the fighters were quite skilled and provided a challenge he hadn't experienced before. He then joined the Street Fighter circuit, and rapidly rose through the ranks.

Personality/Motivation: Zangief is the strongest man in the world and he knows it. He also wants you to know it, and will not hesitate to prove his superiority in or out of the ring. He is not so arrogant he cannot accept others as equals, and will easily befriend anyone who can live up to his personal standards of strength and might. Zangif also feels he represents the strength and greatness of Mother Russia, and wants to show the world that despite the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russia's true strength is in her people (who are the strongest in the world).

Quote: "Stop blocking my fists with your face!"
"Ha! No one can withstand the might of Russia's strength!"

Powers/Tactics: Zangief is virtually fearless. He will absorb a great deal of punishment in order to get close to an opponent, at which point there is a good chance the fight will be all over. When in close, Zangief will usually try to grab his opponent, and then execute a Bear Hug followed by a Pile Driver. Against agile opponents, the Footsweep and Suplex are favored. Really tough foes will find themselves on the receiving end of the Spinning Pile Driver, which is usually enough to put anyone out of the fight. The Spinning Clothesline is used to put down large numbers of people at once and is useful for fighting gangs and the like.

Appearance: Zangief is simply huge, standing 7" in height and weighing 402 pounds. He is almost as tall as Thunder Hawk, and he is taller and bigger than every other character in Street Fighter (only Sagat comes close in size). His body is covered in scars (from fighting bears), and is he mostly bald except for a thick black mohawk and a large bushy beard. A thick mat of hair covers his chest as well. When wrestling he wears red trunks, wrist bands and wrestling boots.

Designer's Notes: This character sheet is adapted from the Street Fighter game originally published by White Wolf. Characteristics have been derived using the conversion notes given in The Ultimate Mentalist. Skills have been derived from skills and skill descriptions given in the White Wolf RPG. The values for skills were derived from the idea that 1 dot = 8-, 2 dots = 11-, and each additional dot as a +1 to the roll. Other skills, powers and disadvantages are taken from material given in the RPG sourcebooks.
