Brief History (Tell us a bit about your character!):

[trentsteel]

Name: Trent Steel

Home Fed: OWF (Outsider Wrestling Federation)

Appearance: Trent is an Italian american in his early thirties who is covered in scars of various situations (knive wounds, barbwire, bullet wound in his right shoulder etc.). He has long dark hair, clean shaven, and tanned skin. The only off thing about him is his blue eyes which go against his heritage. Trent always wrestles in a black t-shirt, blue jeans, black fingerless gloves, and black combat boots. Trent is often found wearing a long black trench coat and a signature pair of shades, black oakleys with red lenses. Trent has no problem hurting himself so if he ends up getting banged up he really doesn't give a damn.

Pic Base: Vampiro without the makeup

Height/Weight: 5'11" 190-195 pounds

Entrance: "Bleed the Freak" by Alice in Chains starts to play as a light smoke comes out of the entranceway and Trent Steel emerges. Rather the audience cheers or boo's him he doesn't care. He walks down to the ring and poses for a minute. He then removes his trench coat and shades and waits for the match to start by hanging out in the corner of the ring designated to him.

Basic Moves:

Variety of suplexes and submissions holds. Trent's background is highly technical despite his small frame he rarely does high flying.

Various elbow and knee strikes.
Various armdrags
Ring rope moves (clothelines, high leg clotheslines, etc.)

Signature Moves:

The Eradication(Crucifix powerbomb into the turnbuckles)

Finisher:

Past Accomplishments: Former 3 time OWF World Heavyweight Champion, Former 2 time OWF Network Champion, Current OWF Public Display of Aggression Champion (Held title a total of 4 times ), Former 1 time OWF Cruiserweight Champion, Former 2 Time OWF Tag Team Champion. 1 Time OWF Triple Crown Champion.

Brief History (Tell us a bit about your character!): Trent Steel was born one of the younger children in the famed Pittsburgh Steel Wrestling Family. Trent, and his twin brother Troy, were the runts of the litter as all their brothers were the classic strong bodied power wrestlers. Troy never went into wrestling really, but Trent ended up making up for his size with being a technical wrestler and a innovator of a new style of hardcore. If body's could tell stories Trent Steel would be a greater read that war and peace. Trent has fought in every kind of hardcore match there is. Trent's childhood was also marked by a very violent situation resulting in the nine year old Trent Steel having to kill a man who was about to kill Troy. Since then, mainly due to the guilt from that, Trent has seeked punishment for his crime that only he is convinced he is guilty of. Trent Steel has spent a lifetime becoming one of the most hated men in professional wrestling. Few friends, many enemies, and a whole lot of wrecked bodies in his wake. Over the past few years though all the pain, self hatred, and anger finally got to him resulting in Trent contemplating retirement. The OWF fanbase basically did something that no one expected and started to cheer him. Trent started to turn his life around, although at a huge cost. Partially responsible for not being able to stop his friend, Dude JoB, from having his back broken by Trent's nephew Trent now carries even more guilt for his misdeeds. Convincing himself that he has to do what's best for OWF no matter the personal cost Trent Steel joined up with friends and rivals to form "The Inner Circle". He's coming back to the tournament this year to get the OWF name out there and also to once again prove he's one of the best in the business.

[Job]

Name: Freedom Kid

Home Fed: OWF (Outsider Wrestling Federation)

Appearance: A wiry young man with piercing blue eyes of an indeterminate shade and medium brown hair shot through with gray protruding from beneath his signature star-spangled wrestling mask. He is tall, muscular, and carries himself well in terms of posture. Without his mask, a sight viewers at home are entirely unfamiliar with, it is apparent that his face has suffered some severe lacerations in the past that have faded to small, white puckers of scars. As more and more of his body is revealed, more scars come into play. His knees and elbows are shredded from years of wrestling in a hardcore environment without pads. His nose has been broken once, but expertly reset. His back is dotted with tiny dots of calcification from being thrown onto thumbtacks and various other sharp objects throughout his career. He has the word "PERMANENT" tattooed in small letters into the crook of his left elbow. To the ring, he wears a Stars and Stripes luchador mask tightly laced around the back of his head, a single handcuff on his right wrist, a pair of durable dark bluejeans, and red, size 13 Converse All-stars. If he's expecting a more hardcore fight, he'll occasionally opt to cover his torso with a white tanktop or T-shirt.

Pic Base: Del Wilkes as the Patriot

Height/Weight: The Freedom Kid stands at 6'3" and weighs in at 210 pounds.

Entrance: The distinctive opening bass line of Anti-Flag's "Stars and Stripes" kicks through the arena, followed by a bored shout from lead singer Justin Sane and the addition of the drums and guitar. Images flash on the screen to the rhythm of the song, alternating between resistant and revolutionary historical figures--such as Chief Logan, Tecumseh, and Little Turtle--and images of the Freedom Kid in action in the ring.

"Welcoming with open arms and with open hearts"

Freedom Kid rolling through a sunset flip power bomb for a modified victory roll on an older opponent.

"In the end they found their arms in shackles and their hearts torn out"

A lithe female wrestler succumbing to the Impressive Display of Agility from an exhausted Freedom Kid, having him flop across her in exhaustion as the referee counts.

"This country named 'America' is built on graves"

A technician countering the Freedom Rally with a sequence of a waistlock, an Irish whip, and a kick to the gut of the Freedom Kid only to have a powerbomb countered into a ring-shaking hurracanrana with a pinfall.

"Of the natives who lived here before genocide took place"

The Freedom Kid floating behind a ducked superkick and countering with the Freedom Rally.

"The word 'America' means 'freedom' as in"

The flashing images stop on a crude rendering of the American flag, upside down and left with bloody holes in the place of the stars.

"'Free to kill the free'"

The mockery of the flag is overlaid with the phrase "REMEMBER YOU WERE BORN FREE."

"Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me!"

Red, white, and blue dollar signs begin to pour from the bloody holes.

"Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me!"

As the currency symbols continue to gush from the flag, the video cross-dissolves with a simple black frame holding white text of the words "Say you want a revolution" centered both horizontally and vertically.

"For me..."

The curtain jerks aside and the Freedom Kid steps through as Justin Sane continues to sing about the militarized protection of United States corporate interests. The Kid's face is bowed to the ramp at first, but he lifts his head to face the crowd and throws his arms in the air for a double peace sign in the style of Richard Nixon. His pace down the ramp is slow at first, but as he recognizes the reluctance of those in attendance to slap his hand he quickens his gait until he has sprinted his way to ringside, at which point he slides in under the bottom rope.

Basic Moves: front dropkick
flying headscissors
hurracanrana
swan dive plancha
fireman's carry
belly to belly suplex
fisherman's suplex
German suplex
Dragon suplex
schoolboy rollup
superplex
sunset flip bomb
and a wide variety of punches

Signature Moves: Seven Gun Salute (A series of punches, starting with a right jab, then a left jab, another right, another left, yet another right, still another left, and then a right power cross)

Finisher: Freedom Rally (From a front facelock, he floats behind his bent over opponent and somersaults over said opponent's back to hit an Ace Crusher/Diamond Cutter)

Past Accomplishments: Former OWF World Heavyweight Champion
Former 2x OWF Network Champion
Former OWF Public Display of Aggression Champion
Former 2x OWF Cruiserweight Champion
Former 2x OWF Tag Team Champion
1x OWF Grand Slammer
Former President of the Parma Piter Svoboda Fan Club
Former Self-Appointed General
Former Corpse

Brief History (Tell us a bit about your character!): He's a Leo. He's a father of one, but prefers not to take his girlfriend and son on the road. He's getting too old to be taken seriously as any sort of kid. His first pro match was on May 31, 2002, roughly two months before his sixteenth birthday. He keeps his personal life and professional life separate as much as possible, a barrier that is easier maintained with the mask. Whoever is under the mask uses professional wrestling as a vehicle to agitate for a vaguely-defined societal revolution. He is a bit of a hot head, but more than that he is an idealist.

[Deleted]

Home Fed: Outsider Wrestling Federation www.owfwrestling.com

Appearance: Inside the Ring: Looks like the picture below, but her wrestling gear also has the word "DYNAMO" running down her right leg in the same silver-lined fuchsia as the other embellishments on her attire.

Pic Base: Goya Kong



Height/Weight: 5'7" - 187 lbs

Entrance:

Over the PA system, a young woman's voice is heard.

Lights Out!

On cue, the lights go out throughout the arena. A second later, "The Only Difference Between Suicide and Martyrdom Is Press Coverage" by Panic! at the Disco begins with immediate vocals.

Sit tight!
I'm gonna need you to keep time
Come on!
Just Snap!, Snap!, Snap! your fingers with me!

Good! Good!
Now we're making some progress!
Come on!
Just Tap! Tap! Tap! your toes to the beat...

As distorted, percussive guitar riffs add persistence to the musical intro, fuchsia-colored laser lights shoot through the arena and silver lights strobe in time, giving the darkness more of a "pop concert" feel.

And I BELIEVE
This may call for a proper introduction
and, well, don't you SEE
I'm the Narrator
and this is just the prologue...

The music begins to crescendo towards the chorus, the arrival of such accompanied by a sudden and momentary outburst of light from the entryway creates a "flash-bang" effect that causes the audience to have to avert their eyes briefly.

Swear to shake it up
if YOU SWEAR TO LISTEN...

After the moment of flash, the lights go back to normal and as fans look back at the entryway, Kem Dynamo is standing there, beaming a smile of infectious enthusiasm, and waving to the crowd, as if trying to thank every single one of them for being here tonight to watch her fulfill her dream of performing as a professional wrestler. She remains on the entryway, diverting her attention to as many different points in the audience as she can as the brief chorus continues.

Applause! Applause!

The second verse comes suddenly, and the dynamics of the song decrease noticeably. Kem takes that as her cue to excitedly approach the ring. Her pace toward the ring is quick, but she still tries to acknowledge as many fans as she can on her way. Reaching ringside, she picks up to a run for a few steps and slides into the ring under the bottom rope, popping up quickly to her feet and continuing to try and energize the crowd until her music fades out, reminding her to put her focus back towards the match at hand.

Basic Moves: possessing deceptive speed (weighs <200 pounds!) and efficient power (well-practiced execution of moves rather than using raw strength to throw people around), Kem's moveset includes low-risk lucha libre moves (more flying kicks and headscissors than crossbodys or moonsaults), technical moves that require less strength to achieve full impact (DDT and flying/spinning variations; enziguiri, rolling cutter), and submission moves that focus on the head/neck (Dragon Sleeper, Headscissors Submission, Crossface).

Signature Moves:

Hangover - Top Rope Somersault Guillotine Legdrop

Out of Nowhere - STO (as name implies, often performed without warning or as a counter)

Finisher:

Lights Out - Cradle Hammerlock DDT

Blackout - Reverse STO into Figure-Four Necklock Submission

www.youtube.com/watch?v=bP0uCIpAYZw

Past Accomplishments:

Nothing tangible, but she's still young. Won a 32-person tournament in CPW and IPW's "Evolved2" Battle Royal, each earning her #1 contendership to the promotion's respective top title, but in each case failed to bring home the title.

Brief History (Tell us a bit about your character!):

Kem Christa Williams was born November 2nd, 1997 to a prostitute mother who gave her up as a newborn for adoption, and a father - professional wrestler Kid Dynamo - who didn't know anything about it until she was 15 years old. By then, she had been adopted by Seth and Angel Anderson, who just happened to be Kid Dynamo's arch-rival and ex-wife, and lived a normal life. Seth, also a professional wrestler, chose to operate and compete in a San Diego-based indy rather than travel the world for his profession, so Kem stayed in San Diego had a normal childhood, unremarkable save for a BFF since kindergarten, Ingrid "Io" Europa, and an intrinsic thirst to compete, made stronger by watching Alexis Cage break through the gender barrier and become the first female OWF World Champion.



Upon turning 16, rather than a car, her fathers each offered her a foot in the door to the wrestling business. Seth gave her a mask and entered her in the CPW "Only One" 32-man tournament, which she won, but then decided to go with her biological father to OWF and work behind the scenes as an on-call sparring partner for wrestler on the actual roster.

Two years later, Kem watched her toiling be for naught as her dad formed a mentor/rookie tag team in OWF with someone else, so she quit and sought her own way. Fortuitously, she was called by her childhood friend, Io, about a reality show competition for NSFW, where entrants would form a team with a completely inexperienced partner and train them up to compete. Through Kem's savvy and outside-the-box strategy, Kem & Io won despite being the youngest, smallest, and only all-girl team.



Along the way, they picked up a third member, Venus, and when NSFW folded, the trio headed east to Indy Pro Wrestling. Shakedown, the team of Kem and Venus with Io as manager, failed to win gold but were instrumental to the success of IPW's formative first year. However, frustrated with their inability to achieve consistent success, they left IPW. Kem continued training, waiting for a chance to get back on the OWF payroll, while Io and Venus...



Come to think of it, no one knows what happened to them. Huh. Weird.
