[Character Personal Information]
Real Name: Unknown. No, really. A variety of aliases have been used throughout his career.D.O.B.: 06/11/1981
Ethnicity: Maternal: Bulgarian-American. Paternal: Unknown.
Hometown: You could call NYC more of an origin point. For the first 2/3rds of his career, what he gave for this was as subject to whim as his name was. If he's going to be quizzed on his life, he prefers multiple choice.
Pic Base: Andy Whitfield. Well, kinda. At this point, it's like trying to cast the movie version of a book series you're so far into that nobody really fits, but you compromise?

Character Biography: Once upon a time he was that tall kid in class that on first glance looks like he could kick your ass, but after you watch them for about five minutes you realize they're kind of a pushover and a nerd and the last person you'd ever figure on being a fighter. Then some ugly life shit happened and lit a fire in him, and without a target for the real cause? Explosions. He still wouldn't have ended up a professional fighter if small time bookies hadn't waved badly-needed money at him out of curiosity. Initially he was pretty shit at the actual fighting, but since he wouldn't stay down, he had time to figure it out, didn't he?
Being in the wrestling business has changed him over the years, and he's not proud of it. And over more years, after hearing about what a piece of shit as a person he is over and over, he just reached the point of "you know what, fuck it, maybe it's true, and I'd rather say it myself than let people keep throwing it at me."
Has been part of Anonymous since Project Chanology, though doesn't advertise which ops he takes part in. Used the skills he started to learn there, plus a background with plain old-fashioned crime, to start gradually picking off the records associated with his original name, as well as weaving wild goose chases with the false identities he built. 8 years later? It's pretty thorough.
Career History: He hasn't even kept tidy record of his title record, much less his win/loss. Drugs plus concussions leave some things lost to time. Partial lists?

Gimmick: Imagine the kinda wrestler who says obnoxious shit, and sometimes it's kinda witty or funny, but he's still not really likeable to most well-adjusted people. Sometimes a bully. Sometimes just can't muster a fuck to give about whatever's going on that he really should care about. Maybe Kevin Owens, if you need a more specific picture in your head.
Now imagine one day there's something going on in the ring that's awful, babyface-in-peril stuff, gross stuff to people with a moral compass... and this annoying asshat just shows up even though it doesn't involve him. And he's not joining in this beatdown or whatever, he's... rescuing the good guy? No big speech, no grandstanding, leaves the medics to take care of them. When he's asked about it later? He basically goes "eh, I was being stupid" and shrugs and that's it.
But it... keeps happening. If you're paying attention, you might notice that he seems to gradually be losing a taste for tearing into underdogs but there's no clearcut line either, no real moment of heel-face turn. He's uninterested in any confusion it generates; he's here to fight, not to pander. When parts of the audience start getting behind him, it basically gets a "hey, that's cool", and it's genuine, but that's about it.
He has his reasons, he's just not sharing them with you.
Entrance Music: 'Phantom Limb' {by Alice in Chains}
Entrance Description: The lights around the arena go completely out as fans hold up lighters and cellphones to try and restore some light to the otherwise dark arena. They wait with baited breath, until...
Jerry Cantrell's guitar rings out aggressively from the sound system, Alice in Chains' "Phantom Limb" invading the arena. Platinum-hued spotlights roam the arena and the form of a man steps out on the stage, squared shoulders of a fighter in an immaculately tailored black suit, the lights casting strange shadows on his face.
He walks down to the ring without a rush. As he makes his way up the ring steps he grins at the people who are on their feet, who answer back with a cheer which flows over the arena.
[Moveset/Arsenal]
Fighting Style: Started as a teenager in the type of local basement fights that seem too small-time to call "underground". Things gradually snowballed from there. Wound up in wrestling and added power-technical with Japanese influences bit by bit, through assorted trainers. Often uses ugly-ass smashmouth brawling to wear down an opponent enough for the big impact moves. In-Ring Strengths: Vicious, experienced, intelligent. A student of human nature who finds the most interest in mentally deconstructing people to figure out how and why they tick. Was a cheating heel when he was younger, so when somebody pulls something dirty on him, he usually takes it as the opening salvo in a game of oneupsmanship.
In-Ring Weakness: Often not too great at teamwork, abysmal tag record and has never won a battle royal. Tries to resist efforts to make him run around or jump a lot, as he's aware that even with cardio work he'd be at a disadvantage at a faster pace. Not all mentally together, not in that "OOOOH LOOK HOW CRAZY I AM" way, but he'll make logic jumps that a well-adjusted person wouldn't, and he'll stick to them like his life depends on it. Difficult to motivate, but when is? Blind rage can take over. Known addict, though no longer a heavy user.
Old injuries. So many old injuries. Both lower legs were reconstructed after a car wreck and basically have as much steel as they do bone, and his knees aren't great either. His left shoulder joints were torn apart sickeningly on live television. His left thumb, where it joins his hand, is immobilized by scar tissue and muscle damage. Most recently he ended up tangled in razorwire and hanging by his neck from it-- major damage to the muscles and ligaments, nearly compromised his windpipe and blood vessels, career-ending and nearly life-ending.
Favorite Match Type: As his mental condition deteriorated, his tendency towards the kind of matches you'd label "deathwish" snowballed. Even before the career-ending injuries to his neck, he'd decided to leave competition because it was too difficult to care about a standard wrestling match anymore. It's another tendency he acknowledges as stupid, though, so he's not likely to inflict them on the roster willy-nilly all the time.
Favorite Weapon: Opportunist.

In-Ring Attire: Previously, black long tights or MMA-style trunks, kneepads, boots, heavy wrist tape, heavy shoulder tape on the right side (mostly to obscure a camera-unfriendly tattoo, later also a scarecrow to divert attacks from his actual bad shoulder).
Current, either an all-black tailored suit with black leather dress boots; or a black leather jacket over a t-shirt, relaxed fit button-fly jeans, and motorcycle boots.
