Post by “Demon Slayer” Warren Harper on Jul 9, 2023 16:55:39 GMT
Show Preference: Sacrifice Exclusive
Competition Preference: Hardline against inter-gender competition, thanks to seeing a lifetime of women victimised by both his stepfather and biological father, albeit in different ways. He has no wish at all to follow in their abusive footsteps, even in the spirit of competition.
Wrestler's Name: Warren Harper
Nickname(s): “Demon Slayer”
Gimmick: The son of one of the most legendary wrestlers in History, Spike Kane, Warren's career has been a long and hard campaign struggling under his father's shadow while being repeatedly manipulated by people who wanted to use his strength for their own gain. Years of abuse left Warren a psychological mess that culminated with the death of his mother, causing him to snap entirely.
After going through a process that removed many of the memories from his IWF career, Warren went on a long trip around Europe reconnecting with himself. Now returned, from a significant time away in therapy yet again at his husband Dean’s request as part of an effort to save a rocky marriage, Warren looks only to salvage any person or place he values, everything else can burn in Hell with the rest of the demons he’s slain throughout a lifetime not entirely comfortable with who he is or who other people expect him to be.
He has never quite belonged anywhere, being beaten regularly alongside his mother and being largely shunned by his biological father for being a disappointment to the Kane family legacy. His husband, Dean Harper is his only port in a storm with whom he is ever completely open about how he feels about anything.
Birth Name: Warren Michael Kidd
Height: 6ft 1in
Weight: 205lbs
Date of Birth: November 7th, 1997
Place of Birth: London, England
Alignment: Neutral
Pic Base: Finn Balor
Appearance/Attire: Black leather jacket, black boots and black tights. Simplicity is key, a stripped down bare bones version of himself. Notable for keeping himself in incredible shape, especially his abs which he is particularly proud of.
Theme Music: "Done With Everything” by Line So Thin
Entrance:
The lights change, flickering purple briefly.
The lights settle on a softer, more stable yellow in time with the opening drums and guitar riff of “Done With Everything” by Line So Thin. The crowd are divided for Warren Harper as he emerges from behind the curtains wearing a simple leather jacket, with his hands at his hips and a smile on his face.
He then heads towards the ring, solely focused on his own business in that ring. At the edge of the ring, he closes his eyes and takes a breath before jumping up onto the apron, walking along it and climbing the turnbuckle.
He then perches himself on the corner, head bowed towards the canvas, eyes closed. He takes a series of slow deep breaths, relaxing himself in a brief meditation almost. Warren finally raises his head, no longer looking down on anything, but ahead. He slowly opens his eyes and relaxes, smiling again.
The music slowly fades away and the lights return to normal as he hops down into the ring and waits in the corner. A true fighter and sportsman unlike so many in this business and in his bloodline before him. Warren was a much better man, he just had to hold onto that belief.
Primary Style: Technical
Secondary Style: Brawler
Other Style: Hardcore/High Flyer
Strengths
Durability: Due to his training Warren has built up an endurance to an obscene amount of pain. He will often take more than most people would think possible, at great cost to himself, just to try and pull out the victory.
Well Schooled/Adaptability: Trained by a renown world class wrestler, hall of famer, and legend. Warren is capable of switching up his styles at the flip of a switch.
Likeable: Warren is easy going, and easy to get on with. People tend to warm to him, or at least they used to. Whether they still will now remains to be seen.
Weaknesses
Haunted: Though he only remembers flashes of his old life, Warren is haunted by occasional flickers of memory that come matched with intense emotional responses that can have an unpredictable impact on his behavior both in the ring and out.
Desire: Warren is hungry, he wants to make an impact. He wants to be a superstar like his mentor and his desire can often cost him by not accepting a loss when it's the easier outcome (for example staying in submissions longer just because he thinks he can get to the ropes etc) which causes more damage in the long run.
Temper: As of late Warren has started to grow an ego, and with that the renowned "Kane Temper" it can sometimes trigger a lot easier than Warren would like.

-------------Manager Info-------------
Do you have a Manager: Yes
Manger's Name: Shea O’Hara
Manager's Pic Base: Becky Lynch
Does you manager get involved in your matches when Possible?: Unless specifically stated, she does not even accompany him to ringside. Her capacity is primarily as moral support and as a reality check for Warren when she feels he needs it and may have lost sight of things due to unresolved trauma and mental health problems. A long time friend and former flame from a time and life he barely remembers, Shea O’Hara insisted on watching out for Warren this time herself, still blaming herself for all the times she let him down and let him be taken in by cults and fall easily under the influence of people, that will not happen this time, she will make sure of it…personally…
