Entrance
Entrance Description:
Brandon ‘Santelmo’ Garcia steps through the curtains, his hands stretched out either side of him, his palms to the skies, ever-present grin in place. He saunters down the ramp, his head bobbing to the unlikely entrance music. Accompanying his standard wrestling attire was a fur coat, hung loosely on his shoulders, and a black chequered trilby with a flash of green. He passed through the crowd, leering and sneering at those that dared look at him, and hops onto the apron and over the ropes when he reaches the ring, immediately discarding his fur coat and leaping onto the nearest turnbuckle. He teases the crowd by almost tossing his hat towards them, but instead places it back on his head and flips them off. He drops from the turnbuckle, tosses his hat at the referee and heads to his corner.
Fan Interaction
Extremely aggressive towards fans, often vulgar and offensive, yet to be seen whether he will go as far as getting physical with any of them.
Biography/Upbringing/Influences
Biography:
He was raised by his Puerto Rican single father who had little time to parent him with the hours he worked to support him. His Irish mother left at an early age. Physically gifted from a young age, he was born with a chip on his shoulder and a desire to take on the world, he was destined to be a star, and an asshole. A former high profile football player, Garcia left the sport disgracefully after a string of wild antics, ending in Brandon attacking a referee after a seemingly standard call. He then went on to wreak havoc across Europe and Asia, landing himself in prisons and blacklisted from several countries - he returned to the USA broke. He had a notable stint in Japan and Thailand, leaving the latter in disgrace, with unfounded rape allegations. On his return to the United States he took to the Vegas underground to earn a penny, and took many a beating before crossing paths with a Russian wrestling coach in Oleg Marazhov. Not long after he found himself signed to his first wrestling promotion, CRW, where he would climb the ranks quickly, winning their annual Crucible tournament and crowning himself world champion. This came alongside international acclaim, competing in several other companies. He lost everything in one night, when an ill-fated attempt at a Hail Mary saw he plummet off the side of a cage and severely injuring himself. He lost his world title, his confidence, and disappeared from the wrestling world. He has had attempts to re-enter the sport, often touted for his previous achievements, but all of his ventures to date have had little success. And when fortunes looked like they might turn, a young girl with an Asian hint to her features appeared on his doorstep along with a lawsuit.
Personality:
Foul mouthed, no nonsense approach to discussing his intentions and his opponents, some will find him offensive, some funny, some vile, some quite innocent in comparison to other personas out there. He will sink to any depth to get in the head of his opponents, nothing is off limits to him. He tends to see the world as his playground, where anything is fair game and nothing is out of his reach. He is very confident in his abilities and his belief that he can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. There was a short period however, after suffering a serious injury in a world title loss, where he was wheelchair bound for several months and lost some of his sense of invulnerability. The years since CRW's closure have been a roller-coaster ride for Garcia that was inevitably headed toward a brick wall. Rock bottom is on the horizon, and the cracks are appearing in the Garcia that the public sees.
Traits:
Refers to his right knee as Rosary, with which hit hits his finisher.
Has little to no respect for almost anyone, but has a particular disdain for women, especially those that have 'Irish traits'.
Tendency to get caught up in the chaos of a match when the adrenaline and pain starts kicking in, this is where game plans go out of the window and he throws everything he's got at an opponent.
Loves smack talk, to the point where there isn't really a time where he doesn't feel it is appropriate to give someone shit. Sometimes to his detriment.
Doesn't think he is intelligent, but more often than not, he finds a way to get in the head of his enemies. So far, at least.
Strengths
List a minimum of three, a maximum of five strengths of your character.
1. Hits hard, and has a knack for hitting that Hail Mary at the right moment.
2. Though his physical endurance has been effected by the injuries, his heart is unquestionable.
3. He has always been a natural ahtlete, quick to pick things up, which means he can be quite inventive in the ring, often attempting moves that are unpractised.
4. Never shuts up, always in your ear, always trying to trigger something that will get you to play his game.
5. Has nothing to lose.
Weaknesses
List a minimum of three, maximum of five weaknesses of your character
1. Not particularly strong, can execute most of his moves on foes around his weight, but anyone who is much heavier he will struggle throwing around. Would adopt a more strike orientated offence.
2. Previously recorded injury has resulted in a loss of movement and endurance.
3. Is currently in a mindset which does not suit competing in the ring. He is in it purely for the cheque, and has little regard for his well being.
4. Easily suckered into a fist fight, even when the odds are against him.
5. Often struggles to see the bigger picture, a person who lives in the moment.
