## Bios

* **Battle Rhythm:** *"Reggie is an activist who fights for the environmental rights. He's known to be a friend to all living things since he saved a bird from illegal poachers and stopped them from almost killing said bird. Recently, a group of corrupt businessmen evicted him from the preservation area he's working. As a result, he decides to enter the 30th International Tournament of Rhythmic Martial Arts to stop the construction of a nuclear plant that will bring damage to Mother Nature and the animals residing in it."*

## Gameplay

This pro-environmentalist fighter competes with the purpose of stopping greedy businessmen to build a nuclear factory where the preservation area is located. According to his mirror after-match, the green substance he's mentioning is a metaphor for drugs. Reggie's fighting style is Reggaepoeira, which combines Capoeira with Reggae. Part of Reggae's motif in Reggie is obvious that the genre originates in his hometown of Jamaica back in the 60's, not to mention that his suit is inspired in the Rastafari fashion style.

## Notes

* Khary Phaton is known for voicing Cyborg in the Teen Titans animated series and in Injustice: Gods Among Us. Find a "Booyah!" reference and I give you a free cookie.
* Believe it or not, Reggie still knows Tomas Cristiano well. This is actually a callback from the post-scene of Natalie's trailer.
* Fun Fact: Reggie is currently dating Marion Hansen (one of the eight DLC characters). The two met when Marion was in a mission to clean nuclear waste in Jamaica, and Reggie is admired with her work. Both of them also worked in Greenpeace to the point of declaring themselves compatible with each other.
