Name: Cazador
Nicknames: "El caza trofeos de los hombres", or, 'The Demon who makes trophies of men'.
Height: 7'0
Weight: 330, all muscle.
Attire: These days, Cazador has many different looks, though they're all unified by a mask covering nearly his entire face, and those gleaming red eye-pieces shining almost brilliantly. He mostly wearing wrestling singlets of various styles and colors, with knee and elbow pads, and the whole nine yards. Sometimes, if he's going to be in a more 'dangerous' environment or if he knows he's going to be doing a lot of outside brawling, he'll wear something like a simple tanktop and stretchy cargo-style pants, with more heavy duty boots and fingerless black gloves.
Alignment: Heel. Without a shadow of a doubt.
Entrance Theme: Cultura Tres, 'Crosses And Lines'.
Entrance: 'Crosses And Lines' starts to bleed into the PA system, and out comes Cazador. He strolls out almost lazily, lights strobing and his footage reel playing behind him, all that business. He's in no hurry to get to the ring, instead just moving at a snail's pace while looking around, reading the signs, doing last minute stretches, etc.
This ends when he gets to the very end of the entrance ramp, where he stands there and looks around one final time. Then, he crouches down and the very next second, he's leaping from the concrete, all the way to the nearest turnbuckle, usually the one on his right. Doesn't even touch the ring apron, instead he just quickly climbs up to the very top, hopping back down into the ring. He's right back to his old lazy pace while inside, waiting for his opponent, or waiting for the match to start.
Wrestling Style: Very much a Powerhouse, though lately he's started to fall in love with submission wrestling. (Also has surprising bursts of speed, but he saves that for big moments, or for showing off.)
More Information: Cazador, despite his size, is very much the young rookie. He's a very gifted athlete who happens to think he's a prodigy. Expect him to make mistakes, expect him to accept 'challenges' in the ring, expect him to try and prove his dominance.
Cazador loves to trap an opponent in the corner, and you may notice down below that a few of his signature moves take advantage of the edges of the ring somehow. While he can be fast, he prefers that opponents have nowhere to go, especially when they're smaller.
He's also fond of "No Selling". That is, he intentionally accepts attacks sometimes, just to show the opponent that he can take whatever they can throw at him. While this is great for mindgames, it's also terrible in the sense that he's accepting an attack instead of getting out of it's way. Expect this to stop the second he realizes that he's really hurt. Cazador also really hates it when he ends up in any kind of an "equal" contest, or one where he realizes he's losing. He'll get into a technical chain wrestling contest with anyone. Until he starts losing. He'll get into tests of strength and displays of power with anyone. Until he starts losing. You get the idea.
Finally, Cazador has to carry a lot of weight around, and that mask does a great job of protecting him from certain attacks, but it's not great at letting him breathe. Expect him to slow down if the match drags out especially long. He's aware of his size, though, so also expect him to take advantage of breathers and general resting. He'll hit a power move, recover a bit, then go after the opponent at his leisure. If he's in a situation where he's unable to do that? Or in a situation where he gets greedy or desperate? Expect him to try and end a match with something huge. A rookie gamble, but there's no way he can lose if that gamble pays off.

Fujiwara Armbars(Essentially, an armbar where both wrestlers remain on their feet. The victim doesn't always stay on their feet, however, due to the pain.)
Signature Moves:
Boot Season (Cazador traps an opponent against the turnbuckles, then proceeds to hit a large number of mudhole stomps. These are slow, and far fewer than a certain Rattlesnake lands, but he only needs two or three to drop the opponent to a seated position. Usually. Anyway, when they do inevitably drops, that's when he turns and walks away a few steps, before turning back around and charging back with a final, far more vicious 'Megaton' sort of stomp. Big damage.)
Stomping (Cazador often likes to toy with his prey. When they're on the ground, trying to get up or trying to crawl, the big man will often drop a number of big stomps to them. Just like above, these are slow, deliberate and controlled. He -wants- them to keep crawling, so he holds back until they get to the ropes, or to the turnbuckle. And THAT'S when he lands the real onslaught of repeated stomps, holding on to the ropes himself until the ref counts to four.)
Interstate Collision (This is a bigtime spear, and starts much the same way: Cazador crouches down in the corner, watching and stalking as his opponent makes their way to their feet in the middle of the ring. But what makes this different, is Cazador KEEPS RUNNING, not stopping until the opponent is driven right into the opposite corner, squashed there by the masked Luchador's full, powerful charge. Definitely not fun to get hit by.)
Powerbomb (Don't be fooled, this powerbomb is thrown with such force and velocity, that not only is the opponent nearly launched across the ring, but their backs and shoulders hit the ground so hard that very often they roll backward on to their knees. If this happens Cazador immediately runs in to hit a running spear to brutalize their front ribs just as much as the back of them.)
Finishers:
1) THE NEW CAZADOR PRESS: This is, by all appearances, a simple diving splash from the top turnbuckle. One might therefore be fooled into thinking that it is as a result 'weaker' than his previous take on a Shooting Star Press. But appearances can be deceiving, because Cazador now has far more control over the direction he flies, and can decide mid-air how softly or how hard to land. This also means that if the opponent moves out of the way, he can abort mid-air without fully committing to the landing. These are good things.
2) THE COLOMBIAN GUILLOTINE: This high-impact submission starts life as a vertical suplex, just like any other standard vertical suplex. Front headlock, hoisting the opponent up, etc. However, instead of falling backwards, Cazador's right arm lets go of the opponent, while his left is still wrapped around their neck and throat. The result is that the opponent freefalls backward until they're suddenly stopped by that massive bicep and forearm clamping around their throat, dangling off the ground with their back against Cazador's back. He holds the victim there until they either tap out, or pass out. Sometimes he doesn't need to sync it in, sometimes the sheer impact of them falling and then suddenly being 'caught' results in an instant match ender. It is only their back colliding with his that prevents the neck from breaking. And that might not always be the case...
The absolute worst part about this, however, is that after they tap or pass, or whenever he wants to relinquish the hold, he can just let go and let them collapse to the ground. Or, OR, he can flip them back around, falling backward to hit a devastating DDT as a way to add insult to injury. Cazador is not a nice man.
Taunts:
Shortly after no-selling something, Cazador will often flex his pecs, or his biceps. He's more fond of his arms being out at his sides or being lower than his chest, than he is of the traditional 'flexing' pose.
This isn't really a "taunt" per se, but Cazador, early in a match, often acts rather casual about the whole thing. Pacing around slowly, rolling his neck, often making small talk with the opponent while goading them into trying to lock up with him, or goading them into trying to do something big. Arms usually at his sides until the second he does whatever he's going to do.
And finally, when he's ready to hit that deadly and dangerous New Cazador Press? He'll exit the ring to stand on the apron, he'll put one foot on the second turnbuckle from the outside...and then he'll drop a hand and look out behind him, shaking his head and laughing. Then he leaps to the top, stands upright(showing incredible balance for a man of his size!), and then cut the air or something seconds before making that incredible plunge.
History: Cazador is back. And he is ready to reclaim what he feels is HIS.
