Character Info
Name: Daniel Lanning
Twitter Handle (if applicable): @dlmerc
Height: 6'2
Weight: 213lbs
Hometown: San Diego, California
Age: 32
Alignment: -3
Having fully embraced his mercenary status and with his new standing in the Pantheon, Lanning's stock with fans has dropped dramatically. And he doesn't give a shit.
Entrance Music: "Nobody" by Skindred
Entrance Description:
Physical Appearance: Summer Blockbuster Chris Pratt
Ring Attire: In the ring Daniel wears a white tank top, dark red wrestling pants, boots, and taped wrists.
Gimmick: A mercenary who only cares about the paycheck.
Personality: Lanning has lost his humor and is now a far more serious, cynical man. He's started to view friendships in RW as superfluous garbage, and that the only thing that matters to him is to make his money no matter what he has to do to get it. And yet, despite that, he is oddly selfless....
List up to three strengths of your character; they can be in-ring related, personality related, whatever you think helps define your character:
1. Iron Fist - Daniel might be the best pure striker in RevPro, his fist packing an incredible amount of power to make anyone crumble.
2. Experience Against Bastards - Due to having spent years as a legit bounty hunter, Daniel has a lot of experience fighting in less than ideal situations. Like against violent criminals that will do anything to not go back to jail. So, he's picked some things up.
3. Reason I Punch - Something (money) drives Daniel to do what it is he does to the best he can, it drives him hard, forcing him to fight harder than others would in the face of losing or possible injury.
List up to three weaknesses of your character:
1. No Love Lost - Daniel doesn't really care about wrestling, he's just in it for the money. And while this isn't usually a problem, it's been shown that those who are most passionate about wrestling can sometimes give that extra push, an extra push Daniel can't replicate.
2. Pay Me To Stab My Friends - Lanning's a mercenary, and as a servant of the almighty dollar, he can be paid to do anything. People who trust him should do so VERY warily, as he'll happily take money to use his fists against them.
3. Trigger - There is one thing that can cause Daniel to snap, and fly into an unending rage, only desiring to pound into the ground the person who triggered it, something that, at this time, is thankfully unknown. If it's found though, it can easily be used against Daniel to cause him to fly into a frenzy and easily get himself DQ'd.
Athletic Background: An amateur boxer through high school, he continued to do fight sports into his 20s before moving onto bounty hunting.
Biography: Daniel Lanning was once wrestling's only bounty hunter, a distinction he was quite proud of. He gained popularity quickly, teaming with Carey Dean and Jackie Fowler as the Booze Brothers, and quickly rose the ranks to earn multiple (R)W World title shots, and was seconds away from winning the Call Your Shot invitational. But that's the problem.
He was always second.
And second place doesn't pay.
After failing to gain the RW Title again, this time finding himself forgotten after being assaulted by Jaina Frost, Lanning took some time off, to deal with whatever he deals with when he's off the clock. And in that time off he seems to have come to a realization: that bounty hunting in wrestling was a cute little bit that didn't pay, and that wasting time building friendships didn't pay. So he abandoned both and when approached by Chris Strike, a man who had beaten down one of his best friends more than once, he happily accepted Strike's money. Reappearing as the Hermes to Strike's Pantheon, Lanning stands ready to do anything...so long as there's a paycheck at the end of it.

Entrance Music: "Nobody" by Skindred
Entrance Description:
[div align="center"][font size="6"][b][i]My sound we come to take over
M.C. you better look over your shoulder![/i][/b][/font][/div]
As the intro for "Nobody" by Skindred starts, the crowd turns to the entrance to give a decidedly negative reaction for RW's resident mercenary, Daniel Lanning! Having his jacket rolled up to his elbows, he comes down to the ring taping up his wrists as he nods his head to the music. Daniel enters the ring and moves to the center of the ring, looking straight into the camera as his boot starts stomping the mat for a moment before slamming the mat a few times before it looks like he's aiming an imaginary gun at the camera, looking like he's pulling the trigger at the sound of a heavy beat during the chorus!
