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.

Played by: Primarch
Stage Name: Mark Crane, The Boss
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.)

[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?

Yup. Its not my first but fingers crossed.

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!!

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
Trademark Taunt: Nikki salutes her opponent, then turns around and slaps her ass.
Theme Music: "4th of July" by USA Gal

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.

Signature Move(s): Cashin' it in brainbuster, sharpshooter

And my Old Guard.....

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.

Sounds good man.  Thanks for the heads up.  :)

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.

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.

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?
