Still very much intersted, I was just out of circulation for a bit.
What do you  guys still need?

[Batman4560]

We can always use another British guy for our faction.

[Rex Pacis]

Countdown, my opinion is your character is missing a legitimate finisher.

I think spine busters are usually set up but you could go with it and while you could go with the heel hook I think it would be weird to have a submission be a hardcore brawler's finisher. A monstrous missile dropkick could work too like Daniel Bryan's and your body splash has no stars...if you catch my drift. xD The chair and super-plex seem too gimmicky to me to be counted as finishers. Other than that I think David is good to go.

I was thinking also, Knight, is it okay if we separate our moves into a finisher and signature section, like Zenpai? I was thinking maybe two finishers and four signatures? Something along the lines of the Smackdown games. Two and two could work too.

[Countdown0]

Hmm... that's true. I don't have a real finisher... >.<

There, now that problem is solved :D

[BlackestKnight]

Any ideas then? I'm open to changing him, as long as its not something that ruins the base idea of the character.

I think I know what it is, your guy is just kinda dry, you know what I mean? Even if you can wrestle your ass off, you need a trademark look to establish your character.

I'm fine with the hardcore gimmick, it's just that I'm not sold on the presentation. You're missing the superstar flair.


Note: I probably won't accept another generic badass type character unless they're quirky in some way.

Yes.

I think most of our characters can be compared to particular wrestlers either as direct inspiration or fitting the archtype/trope. This character is obviously Mick Foley, he's described to match the part but he doesn't look the part.

[Laughing Hyena]

I should specify, I'm not looking for a face champion right at this moment , rather I'm looking for someone who can become champion down the road but for whatever reason hasn't reached that level yet. So your character would not be a champion at all , but a contender most likely. Other than that, welcome to the game. Right now in the story, the championship belt is vacant again, there is no current owner, but there are a lot of people vying for that.

All three characters are approved.

Whoops. I'll adjust accordingly.

[Primarch]

Not to make the game too complex or anything but should there be a cap on the stats? or some means of deciding how many points each character has to distribute? Because right now there's nothing and its mostly leading to slowly rising increments and its already gotten to the point where "The World's Most Dangerous Man" whom is a passing the torch former Champion has the second highest total stats.

Stats have no actual bearing in game aside from mere psychological bragging points, it's just there to establish the aptitudes of a given character, but even then if someone were the most overpowered wrestler in history it wouldn't amount to much if the fans don't receive your character. You would just end up being another shelton benjamin, an uber athlete talent who couldn't get over with the crowd because he's doesn't have the "It" factor of a superstar. If anything, how interesting your gimmick is and how well you can do promos will affect your placement. I don't care too much if people overcompensate with their characters abilities , but at the end of the day you have back it up with substance.

Fair enough.

[Batman4560]

Its funny you mention Shelton. I was just saying how I really liked him in the ring and I liked his promos.

[Laughing Hyena]

Any real life examples we wanna name here? I can name a few. ^_^

[Rex Pacis]

He was the gold standard. Nobody took a super kick like Shelton. :'(

I'm gonna throw Lance Storm out there....if I could be serious for a moment. Good stuff.

[Laughing Hyena]

Anyway I adjusted Pulse's numbers since they were a valid point and I have clarified the gimmick.

[xPeachyPuff]

How many characters can we have Knight? I might be interested in making another 'Diva' (:

I like the marks around Dive. :P Shall we except this gal to be a touch less than the traditional understanding?

I'll allow 2 for now. I'll also get around to making a list of NPC wrestlers that anyone can use.
