WOW! (Women of Wrestling, Glow-inspired Interest Check, Possible System Game?)

[Foxy DeVille]

And maybe once the camera is off... 

[Odanrav]

As far as the "fans bring the weapons" idea goes, I'm not sure it's a good idea for dozens of fans to bring used dildos that they then toss at the wrestlers =P. Because you know that's what they'd bring.

Plug on a Pole Match: Loser gets anally plugged.
Strap-on on a Pole Match: Implied that the loser gets dominated at some point later.

I'm imagining Remy arguing with one of the girls that they have to actually put the butt plug in the next time she goes on TV after she lost a "Plugged" match, or else it will look fake =p. The people need to see the vivid detail of the plug base pressed against her wrestling tights.

Oh, I'd forgotten about those other characters Odanrav! Kassidy was awesome. I think I will have to draw on that to introduce someone who's a bit of a handful...

Real Name: Ellie Eisner
Wrestler Name: Lola “Lol” Garrett
Height: 5’6’’
Weight: 125lbs
Age: 21
Billed From: Knox County, Tennessee
Face/Heel: Psycho Heel
Stable:
Tag Team:
Appearance: At first glance Ellie can seem a fairly conventional fit and curvy wrestler, but she is far from wholesome. The cold sparkle of her heavily-shadowed blue eyes betrays the mean streak behind her deadpan features. A brazen bottle blonde with a rather unhealthy, pallid complexion, Ellie has a few enigmatic tattoos around her wrist and ankle which add to her ‘rough diamond’ vibe.
Background: Ellie is... difficult. Troubled trailer trash who skipped out on school and family at the earliest opportunity, Ellie fell in with a bad crowd.  The epitome of ‘bright but lazy’, impulsive and indulgent Ellie wasted away her teens smoking and stealing things she really shouldn’t have smoked and stolen. Tolerating a low-level drug-dealer jerkass boyfriend for far longer than was pleasant, Ellie eventually sickened of him, taking a large stash of dirty money and heading for the coast. (It’s okay though, since she’s dyed her hair blonde, those guys will NEVER find her...)
The subset of people who frequent both a gym, and the adjacent bar at 11am, was small enough to ensure that Ellie eventually locked eyes with Ryan over an early morning vodka. Abrasive Ellie immediately demanded to know what the fuck “Santa’s deadbeat brother” was looking at. Fortunately, the answer intrigued her, and she showed up for WOW training the next day.
Ellie initially tried to play an upbeat face cheerleader character, but taking knocks in wrestling school would elicit such massively inappropriate, expletive-filled invective, that they gave up and gave her the ‘mad heel’ role instead. Despite all this, Ellie is not a total bitch... she will only screw you over if she can justify it to herself. However, she is also quite good at seeing the bad in people, so it isn’t wise to leave her unguarded with your credit card.   
Attire: Athletic shorts and tank top, usually white, pastel blue or girly pink, for an almost cheerleader-like vibe. Utterly incongruous with her unpleasant ring persona, but somehow that emphasises her savagery.
Gimmick: Lol’s the crazy chick. With Ellie uninhibited about playing a kind of mad, sadistic clown, she treats her matches like a cartoon, showing off, making smartass comments, and bending the rules wherever possible. Dangerously unpredictable, she loves cruel physical comedy and subjecting her opponents to painful slapstick punchlines. Has a loud maniacal giggle. Often talks to a white rabbit glove puppet, which is useful for her finisher.   
Catchphrases:
Finisher: Mandible Paw (A variant of the Mandible Claw, Lol produces a glove puppet and uses it to apply a savage nerve hold to the opponent’s tongue)
Entrance Music: You’re Crazy – Guns n Roses
Ons/Offs: Ellie let herself be dominated quite frequently back in the day by her degenerate hometown boyfriends, but she is trying to move away from being subbie, despite her sometime nihilistic moods. Her move west has engendered all manner of experimentation and she’s pretty much bisexual. A black sense of humour and a love of risk-taking leave her a switch, drawn to d/s play and humiliation themes.

Lol's a cutie! I love her.

I mean, the "fans bring the weapons" are a horrible idea in real life too, some of the dumbest deathmatches ever invented

I love the idea that even if the naughtiest stuff is kept off-camera, Remy would insist that they actually wear the plugs and stuff in the ring, "for authenticity"... there's all kinds of things you can do while still playing around the fact that things aren't explicitly shown!

Yay! Since you made a heel who is secretly nice backstage, I thought I would make a heel who is also unpleasant backstage :) I can actually see Hannah winding Ellie up the wrong way completely. Ostensibly because they are both playing variants of the 'trickster heel' archetype, but in truth because their backgrounds are so different.

It certainly adds a new dimension to the sketches between matches. Lol votes for a remote control vibrator and a button she can press at the most inopportune time for the victim.

[Odanrav]

I remember Lol as well, Hamish! By the way... I never asked, but is it pronounced "L.O.L." or "Loll" or "Lull" etc.? ANyway, every wrestling roster needs a little crazy, and Lol is perfect for that. Welcome aboard!

So I made an OOC as well where we can begin talking about storylines, feuds, bookings, etc. but we still absolutely need some more wrestlers! Either the three so far doubling up or a couple new people!

So, if I did make a second character to fill the ranks (I'm not totally sure I want to yet, but I'm thinking about it, if it's needed!), I'm thinking I could do something vaguely similar to a girl I've tried to get going in a previous wrestling game... a Japanese-born girl whose dad was a famous wrestler and she's a bit of a prodigy herself, but she's never gotten a chance in a bigger promotion. She'd run her own popular Youtube channel where she vlogs about wrestling and gets inside scoops and interviews, so she would already have a bit of a fanbase she might bring to the promotion (and Remy could try to leverage it in some way!).

Gimmick-wise, she'd probably be a bit of a "jpop idol" / "cosplay girl" / "anime girl" kind of an excitable, fun, high-energy, high-flying, easy-to-like babyface:


That is, IF we want/need doubling up... how are people feeling about it?

[hamish1024]

Even if we don't double up on wrestlers, an interviewer character is a great idea.

[Odanrav]

Even if we don't double up on wrestlers, an interviewer character is a great idea.

That is a great idea, but might best be served as a side character for someone to control. I don't think an interviewer could have a persistent enough presence to merit being somebody's "main", you know? Which is why that would be a good direction for snowdrop to take with her. Maybe she starts as a cute interviewer and is involved in raunchy skits before she transitions to the ring?

[Azuresun]

A bit late to the party, but here's my character. I thought it'd be fun to go for a wrestler with an overdone supernatural gimmick. She could work as a heel or face, either "punishing the wicked" or marking the faces for a dark fate--she'll go along with most things so long as she gets a chance to chew on the scenery. 

As for specific bookings, I'm very much open to suggestions!

Real Name: Marina Becker

Wrestler Name: Ebony Dove

Height: 5' 8"

Weight: 139

Age: 27

Billed From: The darkest reaches of the Transvaal (a joke on her part, referring how her family moved from South Africa when she was a kid)

Face/Heel: Either

Stable: None

Tag Team: None (but if anyone's interested....)

Appearance: Ebony styles herself as the classic goth beauty, with pale skin, black hair and heavy makeup. She is beautiful in a somewhat scary way and often wears a slightly unhinged smile. Her body has some nice curves, and a generous chest. Out of character and makeup, she looks like an entirely different woman--it's not just her appearance, her posture is much more relaxed and her attitude more subdued.

Background: Possibly the least cool teenager ever to occur in nature, Marina was a shy and withdrawn middle-class kid who discovered her true purpose and changed almost overnight when she discovered the goth scene at college. The confidence she gained from expressing herself and embracing a persona as a dark creature of the night also propelled her into taking to the stage. And one other interest she discovered was bondage. Though she had a useful combination of skills for erotic wrestling, it was largely coincidence that led her to that career. A friend of hers from the theatre group got hired by WOW as one of their writers, and he suggested the company to Marina, putting her in touch with Remy and prompting her to pack in her previous day job as a driving instructor. She found it was the perfect stage for her overly dramatic vamp side, and she relishes the attention she gets, delighting in putting on a show. She's started attending an MMA class in her own time since getting the invite--she's not an expert fighter by any stretch of the imagination but makes up for her technical limitations with passionate over-acting.

Attire: If if it's black and lacy or shiny, you'll find her in it, sometimes accessorised with an opera mask, a parasol a pair of mirrored glasses or whatever else she thought looked cool. The tighter round her body or skimpier around her chest, the better. Her pentagram necklace has become her trademark.

Gimmick: The Midnight Mistress, a force of dark justice here to punish the wicked! Or if management decide she'd work better as a heel, a terrifying dark force haunting the company, whose evil can only be held off in the ring! In either case, Ebony is a very hammy and over-dramatic persona, playing her role to the hilt and striking a balance between being amusing and honestly unsettling and a little scary. She always has suggestions for how to enhance her matches, most of which would exceed the props or effects budget. She's surprisingly mellow (and geeky) when she's out of character and she is quite anxious to be liked, always ready to help out a rookie or offer some advice. The way she sees it is, she wants to help other people let go and have as much fun as she does.

Catchphrases:
"Surrender to the power of darkness!"
"(opponent name), this is your last night on earth!"
"The dove is....out for blood!"
And many, many more.

Finisher: The Midnight Mass, essentially a reverse chin-lock. If successful, sometimes followed with a feigned vampire bite to "enslave" her victim to her will for the night.

Entrance Music: Village of Whispers (Killer Instinct Soundtrack)

Ons & Offs: Ebony is mostly comfortable with the lewder side of the company, seeing it as just another way for her to show off and receive adoration. While she prefers a dominant role (and if she's getting a chance to tie her fellow wrestlers up, even better), she's fine with the tables being turned every now and then. Anything that gives her an audience is a thrill, though she also enjoys getting creative with toys. She strongly prefers women to men (but would consider a threesome), and prefers to steer clear of watersports or anything anal.

[Odanrav]

Ebony looks amazing, Azuresun! As already mentioned over pm. We've now got the farm girl, the stuck up girl, the crazy girl, and the goth girl. That's a damn strong quartet in my opinion! :) as well as, maybe, the j-pop girl if snow decides to use her.

[TeacupTwink]

I LOVE Glow.
Just to be 100% , is this taking place in the 80's or present day?
EDIT ; Read the other profiles and that answered my question. 

[AlphaWolfQuin]

I actually just binge watched the whole series and loved it. I'm gonna read through everything and if you still got room I may have a character idea.
