List up to three strengths of your character; they can be in-ring related, personality related, whatever you think helps define your character:
1. Veteran: With 45 years under his belt, and competing against fighters from all over the world, Diego is truly a veteran of the game. Nothing is new to him, he has seen it all, twice. He's not unbeatable, but he is very, very good.
2. Popular: Although not so known worldwide, Diego is immensely popular in his native Mexico. The crowd is virtually guaranteed to be on his side when performing in his home nation.
3. Patriarch: Diego is the father of a large wrestling dynasty. His children, both Tecnico and Rudo, often show him massive respect, and will often come to his aid. In addition, he stands as a father figure to many who he has trained over the years, who treat him with the same respect.
List up to three weaknesses of your character:
1. Age: He's not as young as he was. The knowledge is there, but the speed, the strength, the agility? Not so much. He's in excellent physical condition for a man of his age, but he's not the man he was when he was half his age.
2. Tecnico of Tecnicos: He is straight as a nail. He won't bend the rules, even a little, and if he even finds himself in a situation where he has accidentally cheated, will own up, allowing himself to be disqualified. This lack of flexibility can be a downfall.
3. Father: He is a father first, wrestler second. He can struggle to develop the competitive spirit required to fight his own offspring.
Athletic Background: He's been a Luchador since he was 15.
Biography (Optional):

Entrance Description:
(Espíritu)
As Holy begins to play, smoke floods into the entranceway, as the lights simultaneously begin to dim. As the drum beat starts, Espíritu Santo strolls out through the smoke, tendrils of it clutching to his heels as he walks. The crowd bursts to life as he slowly strolls to the ring, waving at them as he goes. His pace constant, he walks up the ring steps, and with a flourish, removes his black and gold cape, casting it into the crowd. He enters between the top and middle ropes, spreading his arms wide as he basks in the cheers of the crowd. He shakes hands with the referee, before retreating to his corner.
