OC Wrestling Federation - Recruiting!

[Primarch]

I'm looking to start up an RP revolving around a fictional Wrestling Federation, it will be OC characters and bar some very brief numbers to let us all know where someones strengths are it will be freeform. This game will run with the "narrative" of "Wrestling is real." This is a world where people solve disputes by having a cage match on national television! I shall GM the game through the Company owner (or the General Manager, cause you know...GM?) Players are welcome to take up Wrestlers, Divas, Managers, Commentators and all the usual individuals that pop up in something like this.

The plot will be centered around the supposedly biggest and best Federation to be found, its the one controls the largest portion of the market. The owner of this Federation however has noticed a trend he does not like, being the biggest names on the block and enjoying all the glitz & glam that goes along with it has caused his roster to get lazy and arrogant. This is made worst when it becomes apparent that the fans are starting to notice. To fix this problem he buys out a smaller company filled with a roster of wrestlers that need to work twice and hard to get half the recognition. The new roster is brought into the main franchise and set loose, giving the resident champions a swift kick in the ass as they make their arrival known.

The RP would take place at the first show since the arrival of the Invaders/New Bloods, who previously kicked seven colours of snot out of the Old Blood (we'll work on the names) and people are scrambling to find out what exactly is going on. Matches will be set, titles will be defended and no doubt, drama will ensue.

Age: 55
Sex: Male
Height: 6.2
Weight: 220 lbs
Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia
Alignment: Tweener
Gimmick: Mark Crane is The Boss. He runs the show, calls the shots. His wrestling days are behind him he's still got some of his old tricks though when he enters the ring these days its in a suit and with a mic in hand. He's firm but fair, he'll give you your chance but double cross him and he'll have you on proverbial firing line. Not above taking some muscle with him to the ring either, just in case. When he does take a group of wrestlers into his own little stable they become known as "The Board" of which he is the Chairman.

Hi Primarch,

I'll be keeping my eyes on this Group. Possibly interested in creating a 'Diva' character, who starts off as an escort of some kind to a male Superstar. (Would need to collaborate with someone on this idea, but we'll see how things go. Please feel free to PM if anyone is interested in this idea.)

- Rainbow ♥

[Primarch]

Sounds good to me! Got a preference someone coming to the Federation or a part of the old roster?

Hmmm, I will have a think as I'm not sure which group she would best fit.

[TheSithChicken]

I'm interested. Most likely going to be a member of the new blood coming. Almost certainly actually. I am curious about the kind of gimmicks you are looking at. Wrestling has so many different eras that that is important to clarify. Are we looking at old school 4 color wrestling with champions of good and undead sorcerers or Monday Night Wars pushing the envelope style or ECW barebones style, etc. I am good with any style. I just want to ask before putting a character together.

[Primarch]

Well the Attitude Era was my bread and butter, but I'm pretty flexible on providing some wiggle room to incorporate elements that would appeal to the interested members.

[Urbanzorro]

Would a Mexican Luchador work? Someone who has recently made the jump from the Latin American federations and is trying to cross over into the American market?

[TheSithChicken]

Attitude Era works for me. As soon as I feel a little more human - been sick for the last couple days - I'll put something together.

Its been going around, I got something too.

Certainly, might be better for the Invader/New Blood group.

[Urbanzorro]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. He would have been a relative newcomer to the company that was recently bought out and eager to make a splash in the larger name federation he's now a part of.

[Crash]

I will keep an eye out here.  Wrestling games are hard to get up and running on E.  I have tried.

[freeko]

What exactly is this?

Is there smut to be had?

[Primarch]

Yup. Its not my first but fingers crossed.

What exactly is this?

Is there smut to be had?

Its not a smut game but Edge & Lita once had sex in the ring, I'm sure you can work out something if you set your mind to it.

I have placed the Company Owner bio in the opening post as a sample, feel free to start submitting characters.

You know Crash I can dust off that manager I had made. Based off Stacy Keibler!

Hmmm HMMMMMMM!!  ;D ;D >:)
O:) O:)

[xPeachyPuff]

I've had a thought, and I'm thinking that my character is going to be apart of the older group, as opposed to the 'Invaders/New Bloods'. I've started her sheet, so I'll hopefully finish it soon to share with you all (:

- Rainbow ♥

[Primarch]

I was going to make an Invader but there seems to be more popularity with them so I'll balance it out with one of the older crowd too. Might throw in an Invader later.

I also shall set up titles, any preferences on what I include?

[Praxis]

Interested!

I'm thinking a relative "new guy" who was part of the old management style and being put through the current system; overlooked for opportunities and pushes because the "old guard" is still holding on strong.

He'd be torn between staying loyal to the group that hired him and the new group that are looking to disrupt things.

Does that sound alright?

[Primarch]

To be honest until we actually have a roster of "Old Guard" that are fulfilling the initial role required of them I'd rather not include characters that operation within one faction but outside their role in the plot.

[Foxy DeVille]

OK, got a member of the "Old Guard" for ya...

Played by: Foxy Oni
Stage Name: "Real America" Nikki Dixon
Age: 26
Sex: Female
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 132 lbs.
Hometown: Fairfax, Virginia
Alignment: Heel
Gimmick: Nikki Dixon is a patriot. A shallow, self-absorbed, judgmental, xenophobic hypocrite but also a patriot. She feels she is always right and everything she does is justified because she is what "Real America" is all about. Exactly what that means varies depending on the situation. To her wrestling is a means to an end, like a career in politics or her own talk show. 
Style:  Technical
Signature Move(s): Gun Rack, Premarital-Plex

Stage Name:Robert Rich
Age:28
Sex:M
Height:6'2"
Weight: 235lbs
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Alignment: (Face, Tweener, Heel) Tweener/heel
Gimmick:  hotshot former NCAA wrestler, fell into (said company) and shined with his amateur wrestling style. He's had issues with respect in the past and doesn't see why he has to 'pay tribute' to anyone before they earned it with him. He and veterans don't get along.
Style: Olympic, Technical.  (What kind of wrestler are you? Classic, Power, Hybrid, Striker, Guile, Speedster, Acrobat, Technical, Hardcore, Unorthodox, Olympian )

Played by: Primarch
Stage Name: Victor "The Imperator" O'Connor
Age: 30
Sex: Male
Height: 6'4 ft
Weight: 285 lbs
Hometown: Cork, Ireland
Alignment: Heel
Gimmick: Victor's gimmick is an aggressive dominator, established with high impact moves and short matches. Labeled as 'The fastest big guy in the game,' Victor won over early crowds with his impressive displays of athleticism and occasional dry wit. His in-ring ferocity, after match attacks and general unsportsman like behaviour quickly saw a heel turn.
Style: Hybrid (Power/Speed)
Signature Move(s):
Shield Breaker
Clothesline from Hell
Superkick
Trademark Taunt:
Victor has two trademark taunts, after performing his 'shield breaker' move or a similar high-impact slam and achieving a pin Victor taunts "Broken!" over his still 'unconscious' opponent. His other taunt is a reference to the Classic Roman origins to his nickname 'Imperator.' Victor extends a fist with his thumb pointing out sideways before tilting his thumb down. This is usually followed up with a particularly aggressive or callous attack.

And finally - one hospital trip and several days later - my Invader. Hope you like him but everything is negotiable. If you need a spearhead for the Invasion group War would work for that real well. If you have any questions let me know.

Played by: DarkPrince
Stage Name: War
Age: 30
Sex: male
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 230lbs
Hometown: Kansas City, MO
Alignment: Heel
Gimmick: He's the hard nosed beast who does his talking with violence. The guy who doesn't play well with others who only truly seems to care about being the champion. Part Lesnar and part Ambrose. The violent face of wrestling the indy circuits love. A wrestler willing to bleed and leave people bleeding in his quest for gold.

When speaking he is surprisingly well spoken and given to a ruthless, menacing manner. Likes to quotes Bible verses. On his way to the ring wears a trench coat and red tinged round sunglasses.
Style:  Power
Signature Move(s):
The Red Horse (Finisher) - A release straight jacket german suplex done Lesnar style

Triple H style Spinebuster, Lou Thez Press, One Armed Backbreaker

Trademark Taunt: Falls to his knees with fists outstretched to either side and head thrown back. His catchphrase is "War is hell."
Theme Music: Starts with him speaking - as part of the music - "Be sober. Be vigilant. For thy adversary is the devil and he walks among you as a lion choosing whom he may devour." Then breaks into Five Finger Death Punch's - You (Remix)

Here she is, finally! Sorry for the delay. I'm open to changing pretty much everything really and would love to hear some feedback if anyone has any.

Tattoo (see 5th image): Kanji for 'Dream for an Eternity'

Played by: xSnorkleRainbow
Stage Name: Chloe Faye.
Age: 22 Years Old.
Sex: Female.
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 105lbs
Hometown: Nottingham, England.
Alignment: Face.

Gimmick: Chloe Faye is a trained woman's wrestlers, however she has been kept on the side lines as an escort to other faces in the company for the few months she'd been at the company. She fought the occasionally matches, but was never really given the chance to shine and do what it was she loved; wrestling. Until the company decided to hire in the 'new bloods', Chloe didn't really think she had much of a chance to succeed in the business. Although her persona is timid, non-confrontational and overly feminine, she is not a push over when it comes to her ability in the ring.

Style: Hybrid (Speedster/ Acrobat.)

Signature Move(s):
Shiranui, Black Widow Submission & Split Legged Moonsault.

Trademark Taunt: Blowing a kiss toward her opponent, usually from a few feet distance away from them, but maybe closer when she's feel especially confident.

Theme Music: I Like It Loud - Myah Marie.

[Primarch]

Unless there's something I've missed I think the characters look fine for the most part. rrichmon if you just want to put in an image.
I'll get a character thread up later.

On another note, I was thinking for the time being we would just include a single title, the "World Heavyweight" which would be a title viable for anyone. Mostly a single title just because we don't have the numbers at the moment to make use of more. I would like to include a tag team later and possible others. Opinions?

Also do people have a preference for which board we set this in?

[Urbanzorro]

Still working on my guy, almost done though ;D

That having been said I'd say that one title right now is probably good enough. If numbers grow/later on maybe a tag team title would be the next one needed.

[TheSithChicken]

What I would do is make there be other titles but make them background events. Things the announcers are talking about as you come out to your match. That way there is already a sense of them being and you don't have to create new titles in game as more people show up. As for the board I'd go Bondage or Noncon - Human for the greatest freedom for storylines.

[Primarch]

Well yes there will be other titles "in the background" but from a game perspective we won't start off with 4 champions and a tag team champion duo. Its just not necessary with the numbers.

[Crash]

I may submit a female wrestler.  Any other one of the ladies want to go for the tag team title when Primarch releases it up for grabs?

[Darkcide]

I'm thinking a New Blood.

Played by: Darkcide
Stage Name:Trent Rollins
Age: 28
Sex: Male
Height:6'2"
Weight: 250 Lbs
Hometown:Chicago, IL
Alignment: Face/Tweener
Gimmick: Originally got over in the Indies, and was a star in Japan. Charismatic, brash and resilient. His trash talk is a big part of his appeal, as is his aggressive and MMA inspired moveset. He comes off as a larger than life punk icon who has proven to be an edgier alternative to the squeaky clean baby faces. Still firmly a face, even with his frequent shoot promos and heelish tactics at times. A huge draw, but he also doesn't really endear himself to promoters for his outspoken nature.
Style:  Hybrid Striker/Technical
Signature Move(s):
Trendkill - A modified Crippler-Crossface, typically follows after a Judgment Slam.
K.T.K - Flying single leg high knee, sometimes done from an elevated position.
Succession of Thai-style leg kicks followed by a rolling heel hook.
Thai-Clinch leading into elbows and knees, followed by a flying Gogoplata

Trademark Taunt: Interlocked fingered wrist rolling.

Stage Name: El Toro
Age: 23
Sex: Male
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 190lbs
Hometown:Mexico City, Mexico
Alignment: Face/Tweener
Gimmick: Having previously competed in several Mexican/Latin American Lucha Libre federations his gimmick in the United States is that of an exotic & and unusual take on the sport. His moves play heavily on the emphasis that Lucha Libre places on high flying attacks and acrobatics. While his persona in the ring plays off the standard character tropes for a Luchador. No one seems to know his name or who he is under his mask, which he never appears out of when in public, and he is both gracious to the fans and relatively respectful of his opponents. Despite the fact that he started his career as a heel in Lucha Libre he has been cast as a face leaning tweener in America.

*Kicks door to thread open* Ooh OHH pick me! I have an Invader character, I just gotta make it fit your format.

The Invaders appear to be significantly more popular. We're going to need more Old Guard to keep it balanced, or rejig how things will pan out for the sake of a balanced game.

Stage Name: Jack Frostic
Age: 23
Sex: M
Height: 5'11
Weight:185
Hometown: Wintergreen, VA
Alignment: Heel
Faction: New Blood
Gimmick: Physical: Mild tan, ice blue-dyed shaggy hair, slim face.
Ring Attire: Black and blue full-length tights with blue accents, with matching boots and fingerless gloves. Likes to wear sunglasses and throws them to the crowd.
Personality: Snarky with all forms of paparazzi, confident, comical in presentations, playboy mentality. Uses a crap-ton of strikes, heel tactics and parts of the arena to compensate for small build. Struggles picking up those 235 and heavier, but can do it if opponent is weak enough, or has momentum.

History: From a young age, Jack Frostic always looked to wrestling to escape his life. Growing up in a poor neighborhood, always getting kicked around, picked last for sports, you know the drill. But in WRESTLING, it was the little guys who got over, showing that it was all about skill, not just size. While he couldn't always outfight his attackers, he learned to outwit them, talking trash to throw them off their game. But more importantly, he always could outspeed them.
Graduating high school at the average age of 18, he chose to study wrestling in a dojo in the rural outskirts of Kyoto, Japan. After about two years of martial arts and technical training, the dojo began sponsoring its own wrestling competitions, allowing the students to test their skills in a public setting. He fared very well, enough to get attention from various onlookers in the local area. With all of his success going to his head, the ladies in the area, enamored with such an exotic and attractive Jack, began calling him "Frost" at events, because he was too cool for the dojo. One night, he agreed to slip out of the dojo for a night on the town, his FIRST EVER since making it to Japan. He fell in love with the culture, the lights, the fame, the fun, the fornication. The high life that he never could obtain at home.
This is what he wanted, no one was going to stop his rise into the history books of wresting. Focusing on image and fanfare, he began to use various underhanded moves to get by, whatever it took in ring to keep him on top. Forgoing his discipline for flashy maneuvers, his in ring style became a combination of agile moves, swift strikes and moves with fanfare. Adding technical marvels to his moves as well, mainly to impress an audience, he also added submissions to nail in the fact that HE was the best. He knew it, now the world just has to catch up to HIM. But, there's nothing wrong with picking a up a couple chicks on the way top the top, huh?

Style: Hybrid (Focused on PuroResu and Acrobatic)

Signature Move(s) Finishers: "Tip of the Iceberg" , Out Cold
Signatures: Samoan Drop, Step-up Enziguri, Full Nelson, Lionsault/Asai Moonsault
Common Moves: Various arm bars (Cross, Standing,) various dropkicks (Running, Missile, Turnbuckle,) kick combos, forearm strikes, Various Suplexes (ONLY if he can pick them up! Vertical/Snap, Inverted, German, Superplex, Fisherman) Reverse DDT, Various Hurracanranas/Dragonrana, various rollups, Calf Crusher, Dragon Sleeper, Front Face Guillotine, Rolling Leg Lock
Cheating: >:) ::) Mule Kick Low Blow, Eye Poke, various leg chokes, Tarantula

Trademark Taunts: Catchphrases: "I'm here for one thing, and that's the bling! And I'll stop, just as soon as Hell freezes over… I'm as cold as ice, and twice as nice. If you like what you saw today, keep watchin' 'cause that's just the tip of the iceberg." ~ Jack Frost's catchphrases.
Taunt: Diamond with his two hands, sometimes pointing it at the opponent as if he is aiming.

Theme Music: "Ice" - Kaskade and Dada Life

Entrance:
"I'm Ice!"
As the chorus of "Ice" by Kaskade plays, a series of blue, ice blue, and white spotlights creates a terrific lightshow around the arena!
Fog begins to spray from beneath the top of the ramp.
As the various spotlights swiftly point to the entrance, Jack Frostic busts through the light fog, making various motions to the camera as he makes his way to the ring
wearing his black and blue tights and gloves with blue sunglasses. He runs his hand through his ice blue hair. He has an arrogant smirk as he proceeds down the ramp.
Entering the ring through the second rung, he hops onto the turnbuckle, making his signature "diamond" hand sign, then tosses his sunglasses to a swooning female fan out in the crowd.

Hey Tyr, the number of spoiler tags you're making use has left the CS a bit erratic, if you could clean it up and get a real/live action PB it would be great. Cheers.

On another note I shall be setting up the dedicated Character thread & OOC thread today. We'll go with the Non-Con board for "general freedom" of what to include. So you can all feel free to work things out among yourself if you want to plot things out within the confines of that.

If anyone's sheet doesn't make it clear which faction they are a part of I would appreciate it if you could make it known, need to know the numbers.

If anybody has a character from the older group of wrestlers that would like MC to be their escort (in any fashion) at the start of the game, please feel free to PM me!

A suggestion (Should the game get too New Blood heavy, which it seems to be:) Have the entrance of the New Blood be a point of contention, but then perhaps the faces would try to get in the good graces of the Old Guard, or choose to go it alone, or simply let their in-ring skill get them to the top, rather than directly participate in Old vs New.

Also, any ways that matches are to be determined? Round/post length?

[Primarch]

Well if there's only one Heavyweight title and multiple New Blood options to go after it, they'll likely have to fight between themselves to get the chance. We'll work out something.

As for how matches will be decided, being an RP I would hope people can plot things out to create the most interesting story, failing that I'll get involved to work out something to move forward.

Stage Name: Samantha 'Sam' Crane
Age: 25 years old
Sex: Female
Height: 5'10
Weight: 145 lbs
Hometown: Savannah, Georgia
Alignment: Face
Faction: ASW Staff. Publicly supports New Blood, privately supports Old Guard.


Gimmick: Little Sam Crane has been around since her earliest years, always around her father or her mother, the woman a public face in the wrestling world next to her husband. Little Sam grew up behind the scenes, a fixture her entire life every summer on the circuit before returning home and to school. When she grew up a beautiful woman, and Vanderbilt MBA grad, in her own  right she would return to wrestling full time.

Initially a behind the scenes junior executive known only to hardcore wrestling fans and wrestling insiders, when her mother decided to bow out of the limelight it was a fully matured Samantha Crane that took her place. Rumor has it Sam isn't thrilled with her father's latest moves, rumors that seem curious given her father's decision to appoint her the New Bloods' General Manager.

Sam's primary attribute is her favorite status among fans; as she goes out of her way to cater to fans, and will spend all night signing autographs if that's what it takes. She is just as ruthless as her father, and no surprise to many behind the scenes there is talk Sam has developed an in ring gimmick that she is simply waiting for the right moment in order to reveal: the Goddess, a Greek goddess of war inspired persona.

Style:  Classic.
Signature Move(s): Death Valley Driver.
Trademark Taunt: "In your little dreams."

If anyone wants to set up some sort of connection or narrative with Sam, just let me know. Given her position I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to conceive of something for everyone honestly. Thanks!

If nobody else wants to, I'll take it. That said, I think it would make more sense for one of the old guard to be holding the title at the start.

Yes I think we'll keep it with the Old Guard at the start.

I will say that I am sort of interested.  If I were to join, would you mind a Diva that is a total rebel who will play by her own rules (except when directed by The Head of the Company)?

I am thinking that she would change her allegiances between the Old Guard and the New Guard on a whim in order to get what she really wants... the Women's Championship.

Apologies for the few days absence, but the OOC thread is now up and IC will be soon to follow. I've added links for both the Roster & OOC to the opening post. With nobody in the Old Guard after expressing an interest in being our starting Champion I'll make Victor the current Champion.

Well at the moment the only title in the game would be the World Heavyweight, others will hopefully come in if the game expands to the point of them being viable. That being said a rebel who plays by their own rules and switches faction on a whim sounds like they might be running their own angle too much to be contributing to the main overall plot which is something I want to avoid with the current roster being at the size it is. Well I expect we'll have some characters jumping faction but ideally that would be switching teams once, maybe twice if the game goes on long enough but someone doing it on a whim just sounds like it might cause more trouble than it would be worth.

Well... it was the first thought that came to my mind when I thought of the idea.  I sort of got the idea from the WWE with the "Wyatt Family" who was in their own agenda but as you mentioned, that gets thrown out eventually by 'The Powers That Be".

I'll see if I can come up with someone that is to my liking.  She would be attached to the New Guard for sure so I have to come up with some sort of angle for her.

Stay tuned!

Hey guys, I'm just getting back onto E after a long break and this game caught my eye. I've been reading through and at this point the game looks fairly balanced player wise between the old and new factions. My thought for a character would be something of a middle man not immediately associated with either faction (though we all know how quickly alliances form and break down in wrestling). How I would like to prose it is my character is an 'old' guard who was forced to retire in a big title match several years ago but due to the buyout of the new company which he developed a minor association with in the mean time he's able to renter the ASW again. Will he pick up old rivalries and help the new blood, or stand beside the company that once betrayed him to defend it from the rabble seeking to defile the belt he once held?

Of course I'm not saying he has to be 100% neutral or uncooperative, but I thought it would be an interesting starting point. Thoughts?

Faction:  Old Guard

Gimmick: Part warrior philosopher, part raging caveman, and undeniably 100% bad ass Adam Black was one of the most prolific ASW champions of the last generation. In a brutal championship defense five years ago he lost and was forcibly retired from ASW as a stipulation. As an independent he soon found himself bouncing between various minor league federations holding limited obligation contracts around the world. However with the latest ASW purchase, a loophole once again allows his return to the house he helped lay the foundation for and only time will tell what he plans to do with the opportunity.

Hey Cyrus, Adam looks fine for the most part with the exception of:

Faction:  Initially Ambiguous

The purpose of that is actually something I need to know so I know our numbers and can work the plot to suit.

Ok sure that's no problem. Looking at the character breakdown so far there look to be 2 divas and 2 superstars representing the Old Guard and Four superstars representing the new blood. So to balance that a bit Adam will represent the Old Guard. Also I will be changing him to a full face rather than tweener to further balance out the character load in the Old Guard. I will make the corrections and submit to the character thread, thanks everyone.

Do we have a description of the arena? Size/sides of the ring, ramp appearance, location of commentary?
(might belong in the OOC, so sorry if it does)

[Evil Tim]

Is this game still being recruited for?  If it is I would love to join in.

[Primarch]

We have actually not started yet due to some delays on my part, so yes feel free to submit a character!

[yuki92]

i'm interested in this.... i'm thinking of a new blood diva, maybe a heel...

and is there intergender match? or can the diva have the title shot for the main title?

[Primarch]

Right now there is only a single title and all characters that are wrestlers may go after it so yes.

Stage Name: Chris Campbell
Age: 29
Sex: Male
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 217 lbs
Hometown: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Alignment: Heel
Faction: New Blood
Gimmick: On the indy scene, Chris Campbell was known as the king of tag team wrestling, leading three different teams to tag team gold.  As the saying goes though, you can have too much of a good thing.  Campbell became sick of tag team wrestling and attempted to distance himself from it, however bookers and promoters believed his only drawing power was his tag team ability and ignored his attempts to break out on his own.  Campbell's final rebellion came in the form of him walking out on his tag team partner during a match, and returning after the match to deliver his finisher, the Dead Man's Hand, to his former partner.  Campbell welcomes the coming of ASW, as he believes this is the place that will recognize his ability as a single's competitor.
Style: Hybrid (Arcobat/Speedster)
Signature Move(s): Dead Man's Hand, Shooting Star Press
