				This is where I'd like my players to post their Out Of Character questions, comments, details, etc. Try to limit OOC tags and details in the IC Thread to things that are immediately relevant to the post you include them in (details on dice rolls, results, actions being undertaken, etc.). I'll be attempting to do the same, to ensure that the IC Thread remains as free of clutter as we can make it.<br><br>Below is a list of all threads associated with this campaign, both IC and OOC - it'll be updated as more threads appear:<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>[All-Star Championship Wrestling] Backstage (OOC Thread) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=332452.0)</li></ul><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>ALL-STAR CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">The future of Sports Entertainment</span></div><br><div align="center">(https://cutewallpaper.org/21/wrestling-ring-wallpaper/Wrestling-Ring-Wallpaper-Picserio-Picserio.com.jpg)<br></div><br>Founded in 2011 by business and entertainment prodigy Holly Bradshaw, <strong>All-Star Championship Wrestling</strong> has become one of the most exciting brands of sports entertainment in the industry. Boasting a wide and evolving roster of top-tier athletes and superstars, ACW continues to grow in popularity, eclipsing many of its rivals for television ratings on a week-by-week basis.<br><br>Though still in its infancy, ACW has become a household name, and many of its founding superstars remain popular to this day, even in the face of new and emerging talent. Whilst a lot of the brand's success can be attributed to the work of it's CEO, it has ever been Ms. Bradshaw's vision to deliver to the viewers and fans exactly the kind of entertainment they want and expect: to meet this dream head on, the ACW has continued to seek out fresh and exciting athletes upon which to build its new, ten-year anniversary Roster - a new decade, a new ACW.<br><br><strong>Game Summary:</strong> I am looking to run this game as the Creative (GM), whilst also maintaining an "in-world" presence through Holly Bradshaw - ACW's very own CEO and owner. Players would take on the role of one of the brand's many wrestlers/personalities, with each fulfilling a different Gimmick from the list below:<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>The Ace*</li><li>The Anointed</li><li>The Anti-Hero</li><li>The Call-Up*</li><li>The Clown</li><li>The Fighter</li><li>The Hardcore</li><li>The Jobber</li><li>The Luchador</li><li>The Luminary*</li><li>The Manager*</li><li>The Monster</li><li>The Provocateur*</li><li>The Technician</li><li>The Veteran</li></ul><em>*These Gimmicks have slightly more complicated rules, reflect archetypes that are more familiar to devoted wrestling fans, or are representative of less action-focused wrestling personae.</em><br><br>As per the rules, a player who isn't presently involved in a specific match can take on the role of one of ACW's many Announcers for it. This has a mechanical effect, but also helps to keep things lively without the need for the Creative to (always) provide commentary for every match going on.<br><br><strong>Game System:</strong> I will be running this with the <em>World Wide Wrestling: Second Edition</em> rules, which uses a variation of the 'Powered by the Apocalypse' engine. Characters would be made and played using this system. I will also be looking to create the Promotion (All-Star Championship Wrestling) using the rules contained in the rulebook, and so details pertaining to it might change before play.<br><br>In theory, this game could support 15 players (one for each Gimmick listed above), but I'm not going into this with a set number. My only requirements are that the interested players be a) wrestling fans (you won't get much out of this if you're not), and b) happy to use a Gimmick not already claimed by someone else (no doubling up).<br><br>It should be noted that I've not ran a game of World Wide Wrestling before - I've only played it, and even then only briefly. As such, I'll be learning as I go: please be kind with your criticisms if you're more knowledgeable about it than I am!<br><br>Players do not necessarily need to have a copy of the rulebook, but it is recommended, not only because it's an awesome read, but also because it makes my job so much easier. That said, if you're a massive wrestling fan, you're still welcome to apply.<br><br>Please note that although this game COULD support 15 or so players, I will not necessarily choose to accept that many, since more players equates to a lot more work for myself. Furthermore, <strong><em>this will NOT be first-come, first-serve: I'll be choosing players based on writing compatibility with myself (since that's the best way for me to ensure my interest remains peaked throughout).</em></strong><br><br>Because of the way the system works, all players need to be comfortable cooperatively writing out a match with their opponents, using the rules as a guideline for progression through it, as the rules intend - and since the "default" winner of a match is determined by the Creative (and I may or may not determine it randomly, or based on planned Promotion storylines), players should also be comfortable with their wrestler being on the losing end of match cards, too. Unless they want to consistently break kayfabe, of course...<br><br>This will obviously not be a smut-focused game, but if you want your wrestlers to engage in sexual activities (within kayfabe or outside of it), you're welcome to put it into a side-thread which I can create for the brand (obviously this won't be "televised" to the audience).<br><br><div align="center">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e0/HollyBradshawCEO.png)</div>

				So I have two characters I could do: one is a young wrestler who could be a very talented rookie or further down her career path depending on The Gimmick I land with. The other, if somebody wants a manager that's also an important part backstage, is The Manager who comes from a very prestigious wrestling family (either the Anoa'i family or their expy equivalent) who went from an acting coach and voice actress to starting off in the business as a voice and diction coach for promos and eventually found a niche as a manager and possibly as an agent and a booker behind the scenes. <br><br>The Morrigan (heel)/Viviane (face)/Aofie McKenzie (shoot identity): The mixed Irish/Scottish Aofie McKenzie is a young up and comer who wrestles an intense aggressive style similar to Finn Balor, Daniel Bryan, Ember Moon, and Becky Lynch. As a heel (and her first gimmick) she was The Morrigan, and rarely spoke and only did so in an unidentified language. Her debut included dark and gothic promos and video packages with a lot of Celtic mythology references , again, only narrated by her in an unknown language. This was not translated at first (kayfabe) confusing the announce team but internet sleuths eventually identified the langauge as Scottish Gaelic. She eventually starts cutting promo in English although with a heavy dose of dark mythology and Gaelic words sprinkled throughout. She also keeps very careful kayfabe and so her social media is all in character and mostly promotes herself. Eventually she'll reveal other parts of her personality as a face and a shoot identity/anti-hero revealing her trilogy. Basically she's an updated version of the Undertaker's gimmick with elements of Mick Foley's 'three faces' that is heavily inspired by Celtic mythology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Morr%C3%ADgan) and Arthurian legend. She can be used in a couple different gimmicks and since I have a rough idea of where she is depending on the phase of her career she can be either a veteran or a rookie. Her face claim is NXT UK wrestler Isla Dawn (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ETkIe_IWsAgP0CI.jpg:large).<br><br>Angela Ale/Sam Anoa'i: Sam Anoa'i is the younger sister of the very prestigious multi time champion and member of the extremely renowned Anoa'i family (or expy equivalent). Literally born in the business Sam was a huge fan and met several wrestlers in her youth but seeing the stress and drug abuse that affected her older brother nearly killing him soured thoughts she had about entering the business herself by the time she got to college. In college she suffered a severe foot injury that also killed her acting and dancing career so she switched her focus on training, coaching, and directing particularly voice and diction which she got her master's degree in. She eventually takes a job at AWC through her connections when she needs a change of pace and to be closer to her aging father and her oldest brother who now works as a backstage trainer after recovering from addiction. Originally assisting with promos her enthusiasm leads to her being asked to join the booking committee and acting as a part time manager. She adopts a heel persona very inspired by Jim Cornette and The Million Dollar Man with a generous mix of the Kardashians and Martin Shkreli.&nbsp; Angela Ale is a 'social media influencer', high class fashion model, and ruthless captialist turned 'sports entertainment brand ambassador' that often threatens to have her lawyer father sue everyone out of existence. She will troll the crowd with insults about their poverty lack of fashion sense and pathetic social media following etc. Sam's 'old school' belief of maintaining kayfabe and shoot severe dislike of social media means she keeps character on social media entirely. Her face claim is the model Devon Aoki (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EdWA2pAWsAAWd2k.jpg).

				As I mention in the interest thread, I got a character using the Clown gimmick... Daisy the Farmer's Daughter. An obvious nod to a certain shorts-wearing waitress, her persona is a fun-loving and wholesome country girl seeming oblivious to her own hotness and prone to unintentional innuendos. The woman behind the character is much more streetwise.

Marley was popular in high school, being quite pretty and always up for a good time. Her status as head cheerleader made the athletes especially fond of her. She hoped to got to college but her mediocre grades thanks to her preference for getting high while listening to classic rock and fooling around with the football team over studying made that unlikely. Instead she found herself working tables at a local diner. Many of her friends had left Sunny Side for school and those who stayed seem to be at a dead end like her. Marley started to wonder if she was going to be stuck in the drudgery of doing the same thing every day just to barely make ends meet. She need more but her options were limited. <br><br>Marley decided to head out to LA and try her luck there. She had started working as a stripper when she was offered the chance to become a wrestler by "Dirty Dick" Allman, a rough and tumble brawler. This may or may not have occurred during a private dance. Marley decided to go for it and discovered she had a knack for wrestling. With her southern accent and wholesome good looks, she was given the "Farmer's Daughter" gimmick, although her dad is actually a dentist. Marley kept her stripper name "Daisy" (named after the greatest Georgia girl of them all) and added "Holiday" as a last name (after the hotel where she lost her virginity at sixteen to the varsity quarterback after the homecoming game). That would be a reminder of when she was young and innocent, the image she wanted to give people watching her. <br><br>With her pseudonym decided, Daisy Holiday hit the indies. She played up her naïve hayseed gimmick, getting laughs from the crowd even if she didn't win a lot of matches. Her outgoing and flirty personality got her a spot on the All-Star Championship Wrestling roster at only nineteen years old. While pretty inexperienced, at least Daisy is fit, agile, and pretty damn charming, always ready with a smile or wink at the fans. Daisy has decided she would be willing to do anything in order to increase her appeal. Then after a few years of saving her money she could maybe start her own business, like a fitness studio. Now time will tell if Daisy Holiday will really become a star or just a forgotten wannabe.

Marley was popular in high school, being quite pretty and always up for a good time. Her status as head cheerleader made the athletes especially fond of her. She hoped to got to college but her mediocre grades thanks to her preference for getting high while listening to classic rock and fooling around with the football team over studying made that unlikely. Instead she found herself working tables at a local diner. Many of her friends had left Sunny Side for school and those who stayed seem to be at a dead end like her. Marley started to wonder if she was going to be stuck in the drudgery of doing the same thing every day just to barely make ends meet. She need more but her options were limited. <br><br>Marley decided to head out to LA and try her luck there. She had started working as a stripper when she was offered the chance to become a wrestler by "Dirty Dick" Allman, a rough and tumble brawler. This may or may not have occurred during a private dance. Marley decided to go for it and discovered she had a knack for wrestling. With her southern accent and wholesome good looks, she was given the "Farmer's Daughter" gimmick, although her dad is actually a dentist. Marley kept her stripper name "Daisy" (named after the greatest Georgia girl of them all) and added "Holiday" as a last name (after the hotel where she lost her virginity at sixteen to the varsity quarterback after the homecoming game). That would be a reminder of when she was young and innocent, the image she wanted to give people watching her. <br><br>With her pseudonym decided, Daisy Holiday hit the indies. She played up her naïve hayseed gimmick, getting laughs from the crowd even if she didn't win a lot of matches. Her outgoing and flirty personality got her a spot on the All-Star Championship Wrestling roster at only nineteen years old. While pretty inexperienced, at least Daisy is fit, agile, and pretty damn charming, always ready with a smile or wink at the fans. Daisy has decided she would be willing to do anything in order to increase her appeal. Then after a few years of saving her money she could maybe start her own business, like a fitness studio. Now time will tell if Daisy Holiday will really become a star or just a forgotten wannabe.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Sounds good! :D<br><br>So Foxy is set on the Clown Gimmick, everyone else seems to have a few options that they're considering. Does anyone need help with anything during this step? If not, I'll let you all discuss and then jump back in when we're ready to move on to the mechanical side of creation.

				So here are some possibilities.&nbsp; I like them all.&nbsp; Anyone have thoughts?<br><br><strong>"Hardcore Angel" Heather Magnus</strong><br>Gimmick: Hardcore Angel (The Hardcore)<br>Role: Face<br>Hails From: Minneapolis, Minnesota<br>Entrance Music: Immigrant Song by Led Zepplin<br>Entrance &amp; Ring Attire: When her music hits the Hardcore Angel walks out to the front of the stage and puts her hands on her hips before she turning her back to the ring and flexing while looking over her shoulders, as curtain of silver sparks cascade around her. Her titantron video plays a montage of Heather destroying opponents with chair shots and in backstage brawls and with her Fall from Heaven finisher.&nbsp; Her ring attire is white with purple and pink accents. She switches between a form-fitting catsuit with laces crisscrossing her breasts or a white sports bra with the strategic cut outs and a pair of white short wrestling shorts.&nbsp; Her boots are white as well with the same pink and purple accents as are her elbow pads and knee pads when she wears them.<br><br>Personality &amp; Background: Heather loves getting down and dirty in hardcore matches.&nbsp; She varies her stipulations from pure bloody hardcore to sensual.&nbsp; You never know what you are going to get when you face off against the Hardcore Angel and that is exactly the way she likes it and her fans like it too.&nbsp; Heather has held the Hardcore title in a number of small time promotions before coming to ACW.&nbsp; She has been known to help out some of the newer wrestlers backstage and is generally a friendly person away from the ring.&nbsp; Inside the ring she a competitor that refuses to lose and is willing to pull out any insane maneuver or body endangering feat to take her opponent out be they friend or foe.<br><br><br><strong>Loretta Sweetwater</strong><br>Gimmick: Sexy Nerdy Underdog (The Technician)<br>Role: Face<br>Hails From: Cambridge, Massachusetts<br>Entrance Music: Short Skirt/Long Jacket by Cake<br>Entrance &amp; Ring Attire: Fairly standard entrance.&nbsp; Loretta appears on the stage with a big smile looking like she is just happy to be here.&nbsp; She waves to the crowd and high five people on the way to the ring.&nbsp; She wears her black rimmed glasses and a lab coat over her ring attire and has her hair pinned into a bun with a couple of pencils.&nbsp; Once in the ring she pulls them out and lets her hair down and takes off her lab coat.<br><br>Personality &amp; Background: Loretta is sweet and awkward.&nbsp; She wants to be helpful and is willing to share all the book knowledge she has about wrestling and its history.&nbsp; &nbsp;Loretta is thrilled to be signed to MCW.&nbsp; She loved professional wrestling as a child, but she was never very athletic.&nbsp; She was a chubby nerd in high school but wicked smart.&nbsp; She graduated from MIT at the age of 18 and had her pick of jobs but settled on being a rocket scientist at NASA.&nbsp; She worked there for a few years, but always had a yearning for the squared circle. When she heard that a brand new wrestling promotion she quit her job at NASA and threw herself into fitness and training like she never had before.&nbsp; Loretta had no business entering a local qualifying tournament for a contract with ACW and pretty much got her ass handed to her, but her infectious enthusiasm, insane good looks and bubbly demeanor made her a crowd favorite.&nbsp; Even though Loretta never made it out of the qualifying round she was hooked and continued working the indy circuit until she had mastered the technical aspects of the ring and finally earned herself a contract with ACW.<br><br><br><strong>Maria Muertos</strong><br>Gimmick: Sugar Skull Succubus (The Provocateur)<br>Role: Heel<br>Hails From: Matamoros, Mexico<br>Entrance Music: Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie (Heel), Black Magic Woman by Carlos Santana (Face)<br>Entrance &amp; Ring Attire: A slinky and darkly sexy entrance with a video package that hints at animal sacrifice and strange ritual with Maria Muertos clad only in body paint in a circle of what looks like blood on a white floor.&nbsp; Her ring attire is mostly black with red accents (accents can change to blue or pink especially if she does a face turn). She wears a bustle of red roses with a black train that flows out behind her tight wrestling shorts which she removes when in the ring. Her top is a wrestling corset with red laces.&nbsp; Her black boots, knee pads and elbow pads have sugar skulls on them.&nbsp; Maria always has sugar skull face paint on. The style varies in color and even whether it is a full or half make-up.<br><br>Personality &amp; Background: Mysterious and beautiful Maria Muertos is darkly alluring and ruthless in the extreme.&nbsp; She claims to have control of spirits from her bastardized version of twisted spiritualism that take from elements of Santeria and Voodoo and uses threats of curses and her dark giant of a bodyguard The Risen to get what she wants in ACW.&nbsp; Much of her background is shrouded as are the extent of her real powers.&nbsp; What is known is she is just as dangerous in the ring as she is outside of it and The Risen is completely loyal to her.&nbsp; It is rumored she has an unsavory relationship with her “creation” and loans him out to others as his savagery is a commodity to be traded.<br><br>The Risen would be a NPW that she can tag team with as “Dioses de los Muertos”.<br>

				<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/Hw94U5M.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Aoife “The Morrigan” MacLeod<br><strong>Gimmick:</strong> The Ace<br><strong>Role:</strong> Heel<br><strong>Advanced Role:</strong> None<br><strong>Hails From:</strong> “The Western Isles of Scotland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Hebrides)”<br><strong>Wants:</strong> TBD<br><br><strong>Entrance Music:</strong> Hang’em All by Carpenter Brut (https://youtu.be/JXtujxT9rzA?t=234) <br><br><strong>Entrance</strong>: For elaborate entrances (usually PPV main events) the houselights will be low and The Morrigan will appear at the top of the ramp her back to the audience, with an elaborate black gothic cloak embroidered with many of the symbols from Celtic mythology (primarily of The Morrigan of course). When her music hits a crescendo, she will turn, and throw off the hood. Sometimes she will take her time to make it to the ring, others she will spot her opponent, drop the cloak and run into the ring for an assault before the bell.<br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> As keeping with her gimmick, The Morrigan prefers ‘witchy’ looking leotards and other ring gear. She has a wide variety of colors (green (https://i.imgur.com/qfq7LIz.png), white (https://i.imgur.com/JK0jUF3.png), black (https://i.imgur.com/pasHbAr.png), red (https://i.imgur.com/E4FDVtP.png)) but like her cloak they will often be decorated with symbols from Celtic Mythology, often The Crow of The Morrigan.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> The Morrigan’s gimmick personality is that of deadly seriousness. She has stated the ring is her ‘canvas’ and her opponent’s pain is her ‘paint’ in creating art to please “The Three Goddesses”. She will frame the title as her ‘ultimate masterpiece’ and dedicate herself to destroying her babyface opponent in the ring and heelish ambushes. She liberally uses phrases in Scottish Gaelic during her interviews and promos and will often end promos with the phrase “Fate never wavers!”<br>Although very young (only 27) The Morrigan’s rise to the top has been meteoric and she is a darling of many dedicated wrestling fans due to her intense, stiff looking, fast, and submission heavy wrestling style combined with her complex and unorthodox gimmick. These combined have given her the opportunity to craft compelling matches and a number of four and five star main events in the recent past. She is also dedicated to keeping kayfabe and only uses social media to deliver cryptic messages, special promos, and pushing feuds. She has never given a shoot interview although she has done commercials, print advertisements, and public appearances. <br>Backstage Aoife is something of a perfectionist and, like many Aces, is particular about her opponents. Unlike other Aces Aoife is less concerned about her opponents' popularity and more with their chemistry (both in the ring and on promos) with herself. She is vocal about her dislike of the more comedic and ‘carny’ aspects of sports entertainment and while she isn’t truly snobbish about it, she is far more friendly with people (wrestlers and otherwise) who take The Business as seriously as she does.<br><br><strong>Audience:</strong> +2<br>The Ace starts and resets to Audience +2. <br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Stats:</strong></span><br><em>Body:</em> -1 <br><em>Look:</em> +1<br><em>Real:</em> 0<br><em>Work:</em> 0<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Heat:</strong></span><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Questions</span><br>Who trained with me in the dojo?<br>&nbsp;<br>Who cares about this company even more than me? <strong>Heather Magnus</strong><br><br>Who do I have amazing chemistry with in the ring?<br>&nbsp;<br>Who is trying to steal my spotlight?<br><br>When you wrestle someone you have +4 Heat with, gain +1 Audience.

				Okay I think it looks right. Thoughts?<br><br><br><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/GShxS8B.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Alexander Shaw<br><strong>Gimmick:</strong> Anti-Hero<br><strong>Role:</strong> Heel<br><strong>Advanced Role:</strong> None<br><strong>Hails From:</strong> Cleveland, Ohio<br><strong>Wants:</strong> Domination<br><br><strong>Entrance Music:</strong>: Bury the Light- Little V cover (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HqPyp1Uq7A) <br><br><strong>Entrance:</strong> The lights shut off all at once as the music starts. Red smoke billows out from the entrance ramp and the ground floor gateways for the audience, then the drums hit... Black lights kick on and slowly Alex steps from one of the random tunnels of billowing smoke and scans the arena. The moment the lyrics start the lights dim to a more natural color but still dark, suddenly strobes start and Alex makes his way towards the ring and either heckles or embraces the crowd. Lazily he stalks around the ring and glares at his opponents and sometimes his tag partners. When the chorus of the song hits he jumps up and climbs any of the turnbuckles and smacks his bare chest as hard as he can then rips the vest or jacket off and tosses it aside, ending by leaping off the turnbuckle down to the center of the ring, or right at his target to start the match with a quick shot.<br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> At exactly six foot tall, Shaw doesn't seem as tall as most of his peers but his striking appearance more than makes up for that. Often seen backstage or on the entrance ramp wearing a black vest or jacket of some sort, often with patches from death metal and scremo bands, or elaborate sharp spikes. His gear is almost always a combination of black, gold or dark red in color, and his boots are always covered with near knee high kick pads. No matter what, his dark red (almost brown) beard is always shaggy and never quite looks neatly trimmed.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> <br><br>Shaw has been doing this for a long time, coming from all sorts of smaller promotions he's been a harbinger of change in them all. He doesn't care who you are or what you want. He's looking for a fight or a title. In a fight he wears a dangerously serious glare but a sadistic smirk is constantly tugging at the corner of his mouth. He gets a sick sort of pleasure out of destroying "prize fighters" and "Power Players" but is always willing to join a fight, often seeing him as a make shift tag partner to anyone who needs one and often forms strong bonds... until you're in his way.<br><br>He takes what he does seriously... While only thirty two, Shaw has been wrestling professionally since the age of seventeen and as such will target and lash out against anyone who comes from a line of work that might imply they think they are better than him. This includes actors, MMA fighters or even reality t.v. stars who also wrestle. Unfortunately, while Shaw likes to target these types, at the end of the day he wants some action and will go against anyone simply to prove that while there may be aces, or vets, he can take anyone to their limits and come out on top. On the flip side and sometimes to his own disadvantage when he does have a championship he is often known to be a fighting champ, almost refusing to not put his titles on the line in matches.<br><br>With a wicked streak a mile wide, one might be shocked to learn that he is often moved to action when, he witnesses something that in his heart and soul he finds to be truly wrong and unforgivable. Often when it is by someone more than capable stepping on someone in a clearly helpless situation. Alex loves to goad people into giving him what he wants or into slipping up. One of his favorite tactics is mind games and he will very often play the long game and work for months at someone before ever even actually targeting them, making him seem very antagonistic from the first meeting. <br><br><strong>Audience:</strong> +1<br>The Anti Hero starts and resets to Audience +1. <br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Stats:</strong></span><br><em>Body:</em> -2 <br><em>Look:</em> +0<br><em>Real:</em> +1<br><em>Work:</em> -0<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Heat:</strong></span><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Questions</span><br>Who did I kick the shit out of to prove how tough I am?<br>&nbsp;<br>With whom do I have a reluctant alliance with against a mutual enemy?<br><br>Who have I called out as a slave to management?<br>&nbsp;<br>Who wishes they were as cool as me?<br><br>When you wrestle someone you have +4 Heat with, gain +1 Audience.

As the music kicks in, strobe lights lining the stage and ramp blink in time with the music. Wallace marches robotically down the ramp, giving no mind to the audience or his opponent(should they have entered first) as he makes his way down the ramp. His movement into the ring remains just as robotic as his march.<br><br><strong>Appearance</strong>: Wallace wears a full body suit, always in metallic colors, that gives the appearance that he is made of metal, he appears almost as an abomination of metal and man. Drawing influence from his lucha libre roots, his costumes have a variety of color schemes, each with their own name, such as “Stormtrooper” white and black, “Soldier” green and grey, and “Iron Man” red and gold. Inside the suit, however, is a heavily scarred man.<br><br><strong>Personality and Background</strong>: Kayfabe: An android programmed with styles from all over the world and over 100 years. Outside of kayfabe: Born to a middle class family in Palm Desert, California, his mother is a school teacher, his father, a contractor. While other kids watched cartoons, he would almost always be watching wrestling, both as a passion that formed in his early years and as a means of bonding with his father. He would join the wrestling team in high school, but drop out at the age of sixteen, deciding that wrestling was what he wanted to do with his life, despite both of his parents wanting him to be something better.<br><br>Taking all of his childhood savings, he bought a one way ticket to Mexico. Using his rudimentary Spanish, he eventually came to train in the art of lucha libre, spending eight years in Mexico, winning gold on multiple occasions. Needing a change of scenery, he was contacted to go to Japan. Though he didn’t relish having to start over in a land where he didn’t even have a rudimentary grasp of the native language, he did enjoy the new challenge of a different style. He would wrestle deathmatches for extra money, but after four years…Wallace would wrestle in one that left him so scarred, he was nigh unrecognizable. He would try to wrestle after that, but cries of women and children and the taunting of men calling him “Gaijin Kaiju” and other names was too much to bear. He would go home and work in his father’s contracting business for over a year.<br><br>During that period, it was get up at seven, go to work at nine, go home at five, drink an ice cold beer. Wallace became depressed. In that period, The Prototype was born. He would wear a mask anywhere and everywhere, his face would not be revealed to the public for the last eight years. He would tour Europe, working Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom…his signature style would take shape. Then…Holly Bradshaw called. The opportunity to finally work in America had finally presented itself with ACW, and Wallace would take the deal without hesitation.<br><br><strong>Audience</strong>:<br><br><strong>Stats</strong>:<br><br>Body: -1<br><br>Look: 0<br><br>Real: -1<br><br>Work: +1<br><br><br><strong>Heat</strong>:<br><br>Questions:<br><br>Who have I decided is killing the business with their performance?<br><br>Who is my protégé?<br><br>Who has no respect for all the work I’ve put into this company?<br><br>Who is desperately seeking my approval?<br><br><br><strong>Injury</strong>: 3 Injury Boxes: When injured, you can pull out of any match you’re booked in without repercussions, but you gain +1 Momentum if you don’t.<br><br><br><br>FINISHING MOVE: Weapon X(https://youtu.be/vT7gzksLTlQ)<br><br>When you’re BOOKED to win a match, roll 2d6. On a 10+, you hit your Finisher clean.

You're also welcome to begin on your Questions, too, and then write the resultant relationships up in summary - I can then bring us right into a match from there (likely after I provide a walk through of the rules for those who are unfamiliar).

				I imagine kind of like Jericho and Omega were at the start of AEW Aofie is really interested in building up the other members of the roster so long as they mesh well with her. One thought here, and this is totally just me, is the long time arc of a wrestler going through "The Game Of Death": meaning they make it big by defeating wrestlers of different styles. This especially works with a babyface who has won a title with, say, a submission/shoot fighting style defeating another shoot fighter style wrestler. They then go on to defeat a hardcore specialist, a high flier, and a hoss/monster brawler at which point they've basically built themselves as the type of wrestler who can take on anyone of any style even experts. Of course that person then has to be taken down (or go for the top title) but it's something we could play around with. <br><br>As for who would go well with Aofie, all three other characters could easily develop a good angle with her but I'm really interested in seeing how she'd work with her first intergender match and I think Wallace may be a good selection since they have a lot in common. That being said I'm totally open to lots of ideas.

				That would be great! I think Aofie would def fit with: <br><br>Who is willing to make me bleed? <br><br>Aofie is a huge fan of Mick Foley (got her idea of three personalities from him) and I would imagine has not done much hardcore work aside from maybe an I Quit match or something along those lines. I was thinking she'd want a match that is less exotic weapons, or Tables, Ladders, and Chairs and more a stiff vicious old school bloody fight (some people refer to it as "Memphis Style brawling"). The kind where you're going to get welts and bruises to the face and juice the hard way. A bone of contention may Heather wanting to bring in big spots (like this famous moment (https://i.imgur.com/QifUGp9.gif)) or using things like kendo sticks or exploding wire?

				I think if you want more behind-the-scenes conflict then "Who cares about this company more than me" but if you like the idea that Heather and Aofie will make a great match with things kept professional then "Who do I have amazing chemistry with in the ring" could work. <br><br>And in case I haven't thrown enough wrenches in the gears, it could be that Heather and Aofie clash but end up being really good in the ring together ala Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart in the run up to the Screwjob in which case: both questions.

				<strong>@LocusVonErich -</strong> With "Who trained with me in the dojo?" I was actually wondering if Aofie and Wallace went to the same dojo/school or learned from two trainers who had the same old school mentality. I was thinking this because their though process vis a vis kayfabe and (maybe) about keeping matches as 'realistic' looking as possible seem pretty similar.<br><br>Edit: With their age difference Wallace may have even helped train Aofie 8-10 years ago (although she did learn in the UK she may have traveled to the US if we need it for the story).

				That could be possible, but Wallace’s roots are in lucha libre, having been born in the California desert(I’m thinking Palm Desert or Joshua Tree). We could have Aofie under “Who is seeking my approval?” if we want to go down the route of both of them being trained old school.

				I think that would fit better especially because (like me) Aofie is something of a wrestling history buff and is probably a fan of Wallace's work especially if it's a blend of high flying lucha libre and North American/European psychology (Kind of like Rey Mysterio). Even The Ace has people whose approval they want to seek! :P

				Well, it’s a blend of a lot of things, being that his gimmick(as The Prototype, under the mask) is a combination of the scientific execution a la Bret Hart, mental warfare(Triple H), Rey Mysterio’s lucha, Misawa’s King’s Road, British catch as catch can, Benoit’s intensity(I know, probably not the best influence to have…).<br><br>It would fit, but he wouldn’t really take her under his wing until after the repackage. If he’s around long enough, I want to eventually be unmasked(preferably violently in a double turn in the vein of Hart/Austin).

				Okay so I have a similar idea for Aofie whose gimmick combines the aspects of The Undertaker (gothic, dark, and mysterious) and Mick Foley (different facets of a personality into one) along with in-ring influence from a couple different sources (Daniel Bryan, Paige, Becky Lynch, Chris Benoit, and Finn Balor). She would really respect Wallace's dedication to his gimmick as well.

Marley kept her stripper name "Daisy" (named after the greatest Georgia girl of them all) and added "Holiday" as a last name (after the hotel where she lost her virginity at sixteen to the varsity quarterback after the homecoming game). That would be a reminder of when she was young and innocent, the image she wanted to give people watching her. <br><br>With her pseudonym decided, Daisy Holiday hit the indies. She played up her naïve hayseed gimmick, getting laughs from the crowd even if she didn't win a lot of matches. Her outgoing and flirty personality got her a spot on the All-Star Championship Wrestling roster at only nineteen years old. While pretty inexperienced, at least Daisy is fit, agile, and pretty damn charming, always ready with a smile or wink at the fans. Daisy has decided she would be willing to do anything in order to increase her appeal. Then after a few years of saving her money she could maybe start her own business, like a fitness studio.

She hoped to got to college but her mediocre grades thanks to her preference for getting high while listening to classic rock and fooling around with the football team over studying made that unlikely. Instead she found herself working tables at a local diner. Many of her friends had left Sunny Side for school and those who stayed seem to be at a dead end like her. Marley started to wonder if she was going to be stuck in the drudgery of doing the same thing every day just to barely make ends meet. She need more but her options were limited. <br><br>Marley decided to head out to LA and try her luck there.

				Okay so here are my questions...<br><br>I have a name listed down below and an angle we might be able to run, let me know your thoughts. <br><br>Who did I kick the shit out of to prove how tough I am?<br>Heather Magnus<br><br>Ha, I was going to suggest something similar! Well that works out well then lets go with the pair having had a bloody good brawl and respecting one another for it.<br><br>With whom do I have a reluctant alliance against a mutual enemy?<br>Aoife<br><br>You said you wanted to have a rivalry with someone who can do shoot/submission wrestling? Maybe we can work something out where Aoife and Shaw are competing in a best of five series and over the course have come to respect each other and team from time to time when dealing with someone and needing a tag partner?<br><br>Who have I called out as a slave to management?<br>Daniel Wallace<br><br>I can imagine Shaw not respecting what Wallace has done yet and also being a slave to management due to the way they enter the ring and seems to bounce between one promotion to the next and could attribute that to the money management pay him.<br><br>Who wishes they were as cool as me?<br>Daisy<br><br>In this case I'd say Daisy, while many see as cool, is seen by Shaw as a waste of space and may even target her first just to get the dead weight out of the way and not have to worry about her any more. So in that case maybe the two questions can once again sort of work in the same story line?<br>

				Hey guys,<br><br>Sorry for my ongoing absence. Things haven't let up at home, despite my efforts to get on top of things, and it's starting to wear on me.

Once that's done I'll look to make a return. If games I'm a player in need to drop me before I do, please do - I don't want to hold you up longer than I already have; if games I'm running lose players as a result of this, I understand entirely - it wasn't my intention for things to take this long to get moving.<br><br>Thanks everyone. I'll come back once things are settled, and see what the lay of the land is.
