Character Info
Name:
David Cross
Height: 6' 5"
Weight: 269 lb.
Hometown: Oil City, PA
Alignment:
+4
Cross is a +4, if only for the reason that he has certain triggers, in which case, you will get destroyed and he won't care a bit about the consequences. In the ring, outside of matches where such things are legal, Cross doesn't cheat, use weapons, attack people who are defenseless, and so on.
Entrance Music:
''S*kt It Up' by (hed) PE"
Entrance Description:
The lights go dim and a slight strobe effect begins as the crowd buzzes a bit.
#DESTROY#
'S*kt It Up' by (hed) PE screams over the PA as the crowd cheers Cross. As the song continues, Cross walks out on the entrance ramp to a pop as he raises his black-gloved fist to the air as he comes to the ring. While making his way to the ring, Cross slaps a few outstretched hands at ringside, but mostly he's focused on the ring, whether it's the squared circle itself or his opponent inside.
Before stepping into the ring, David kisses the small cross around his neck, before sliding off his leather jacket and removing the cross and entering the ring.
Physical Appearance:
Entering his late 20's, Cross is decent looking guy with shoulder length black hair, green eyes, and a build that's closer to "throws around tires and chops wood" than "P90X with a side of steroids." Cross is ruggedly handsome, not that he cares that much about picking up a new girl after every show. On his right arm, he has the classic tattoo of the 'cross in the heart' with 'Joan' written in it, in honor of his late mother. Finally, he has a long scar above his right eye - cause unknown to everybody but Cross.
Ring Attire:
Keeping it simple. Black full-length tights, t-shirt he takes off after getting into the ring, small cross around his neck, and a black leather jacket. Both the jacket and cross were given to him by his late parents. Not responsible for death or dismemberment if you steal or damage them.
Gimmick:
Badass in a Longcoat? More seriously, Cross is here to balance the scale of justice, destroy those who would take advantage of the weak, and focus on his own mission.
Personality:
Honestly, David's kind of a gruff son-of-a-bitch. With his past, he's not one to go out to the bar and have a few brewski's while watching a Padre's game on TV. That's not going to happen. He isn't in the wrestling business to make friends, influence people, or even make money. Largely, he's here to avenge those who can't do it themselves, mete out some justice while he can, and if it comes down to it, win some matches.
But, when Cross goes to bed and dreams, when he can dream, his dreams aren't of holding a World title at the end of the PPV. If that helps his overall quest, so be it, but for the most part, the battles keep the blood flowing, his body at peak condition, and allows him to add contacts in the underbelly of the world - after all, at it's core, wrestling is still a carny business, no matter how mainstream and legit the business becomes.
List up to three strengths of your character; they can be in-ring related, personality related, whatever you think helps define your character:
1.
VITALITY - I'm not going to say endurance, because 60-minute matches will not go well for Cross. But, this is a guy who has gone through Boot Camp, other advanced training, and has dealt with street fights where there are no referees or even rules. So, a Boston Crab or a few stomps on the ring floor ain't gonna' stop Cross dead in his tracks.
2.
POWER - A large man already, Cross is even stronger than he looks, able to easily suplex almost any man in professional wrestling and in addition, his various kicks, punches, and other moves pack a bigger punch thanks to his size.
3.
HIS MISSION - Cross isn't here for shiny gold belts, PPV bonuses, or to increase his Twitter followers. As a result, the various ways that wrestlers will try to take him away from his path won't work as well. Sure, send his stable mates after him. Try to cost him a title match. You aren't suddenly going to make him care about those things. If it's justice or a World title, Cross is going to choose justice _every_ damn time.
List up to three weaknesses of your character:
1.
TRUST - Simply put, Cross doesn't trust a damn soul who isn't himself. After various promoters, Colonel's, and even parents of lost children lying to him, Cross had retired the phrase, 'Verify, Then Trust' to simply 'Verify.'
2.
ANGER - Cross had a few hot buttons. You can probably guess them. If you hit those buttons, he will not care about victories, losses, TV contracts, or the rules of the ring. He will end you, consequences be damned.
3.
SPEED - In the ring, let's be honest. He's a big guy. Smaller wrestlers will be able to use a hit 'n' run style to take advantage of Cross, especially if they're smart enough to stay away from him for the most part.
Biography:
David Cross was born David Tadwell, on a small farm in small farm in
a rural area of northwestern Pennsylvania called
Corry. He had a simple, rural life. Fishin' on the
stream, playing with buddies on the next farm, helping
his Mom & Dad on the farm, going to school & church,
all of that fun stuff that looked like a 90's version of Little House on the Prairie, only with Game Boy's.
All that changed when David was twelve, when his
parents got in a car wreck. His Aunt took him in, but
David was never the same. He became more insular and
introverted. Even as he hit his growth spurt and
played Defensive Line for the local high school team,
he wasn't the typical 'jock.' He'd be more likely to
have his nose in a book, or watching TV, than going to
a party. That helped when he graduated. Usually, a
country boy from the middle of nowhere wouldn't get
into a top-flight university, but a 3.7 GPA, a 1270 on
his SAT's, plus being 8th all time on the state sack
record gave him a full ride to Florida State. But, the
good times wouldn't last for long...
In his second game, David's knee gave out. Simple
freak accident. But his football career was done for.
In a heavy depression, he sought out a new career.
Surprisingly, he sought out pro wrestling. He took the name David Cross as a tribute to the small cross his mother gave him when he was a small child. However, after a few years of training and doing local indies, Cross was broke, living on savings, and barely getting by. Realizing that maybe the wrestling business wasn't meant of him, he did something a kid from a small town with no other choices in life would do - he joined the military.
In the military though, the brass quickly realized David was more than just a broken down former football/pro-wrestler. David moved up through the ranks and within only a year or two, was getting involved in things way above his pay grade, partly due to his skills and partly due to the fact that as the anti-social human he continued to be, he wasn't one to spill secrets.
However, after one too many missions that ended in dead bodies of civilians and lies upon lies to tell visiting journalists, politicians, and officers, David left. Letting several of his CO's know that he'd been saving the real After Action Reports on a cloud server, he was quietly given a honorable discharge and put on a plane back to the United States.
But, the problem was, now not only was David a washout wrestler and football player, he was a washout jarhead as well. Thankfully though, there are options for men like David. Especially when stories are spread by friendly CO's to various private agencies. Quickly, Cross became known as a man who could acquire and retrieve anything _or_ anybody you needed. Unfortunately for some though and likely his bank account, David had kept his moral compass. For every job he did that involved million dollar pieces of art being used as pissing contests between billionaires, David took a job pro bono that involved entering cartel territory in Mexico or searching for lost girls among the sex slavers of Albania.
In addition, he drifted back to the wrestling business. Not because of any great need, but because it worked. It trained him, it paid him well, it gave him a public reason for appearing all over the world, and most importantly, it was a business with horrible people of it's own that loudly proclaimed their villainy to a worldwide audience. What better place to take residence in?
Wrestling Style:
A powerhouse suplex-friendly wrestler who doesn't mind pulling out a few martial arts moves from his other training to get the job done. Think Scott Steiner if he hadn't gotten insanely on the gas or Mike Awesome if he had been more than a spot monkey. Can fly very occasionally, as in Undertaker in the late 90's/early 00's level of occasionally.
