Five prodigal wrestlers, met 13 years ago in 2006 in Japan as young lions.
Ace Sky former backyard wrestler, 8 years pro at 23 years old
Max Power, 22 years old, 8 years pro
Felicia Firefly -former backyard wrestler, second generation of the same circuit as Ace, rookie/trainee
Grace Park- 29 years old, 12 years pro
Fox Faumuina-6th generation of a Samoan wrestling family, 8 years experience but 1 year pro at 18 years old.
Masuta Kumari saw their similarities and due to the popularity in Super Sentai in Japan and the American version Power Rangers he chose them to team up. They bonded well, becoming fast friends. They all experienced not fitting the stereotype of what a wrestler in America was, it's a catch 22 in a way that they have been doing what everyone has been copying since the 2010's and has become modern pro wrestling.
They were viewed as getting special treatment for doing what everyone else did, being gaijin ( foreigner) did not help , though
they were pushed harder and treated stricter in an already VERY no-nonsense enviroment, a normal schedule was 5 nights of wrestling a week, they had all 7 days for 50 months ( 4 years, 2 months), that above style mentioned was what was used, this wasn't soft style American Sports entertainment, this was super sonic speed and STIFF striking, rubber necks, chest chops wouldn't leave any bruises, multi-person matches without the tag team rules of USA style, exactly like this:

By today's standards they are viewed as a progressive team in America.
Ace a Jewish Texan, Felicia African American Texan, Fox a Samoan Canadian , Max a Filipino American and Grace Park is Korean-Canadian. Although respectful and becoming Japanophiles Ace was constantly in trouble with
Masuta for his usage of marijuana which ended up becoming more playful and like a running gag.
When they aren't wrestling, they work at a secular youth center/ health club and fight crime.
When not doing that they play video games, fantasy tabletop role-playing games and love stand up comedy, attending improv and stand up comedy attending shows both amateur and pro, as well as pop punk, punk rock, ska , bitpop concerts.
