"The Morning Star" Andreas Lasiewicz

Physical Appearance: Lasiewicz’s fashionable styled espresso coloured hair is now growing out of control. It’s hanging just above his shoulders, and whilst he has started tying it back in public, he lets it go wild during combat. He still has the trimmed moustache and goatee beard combo, though now it is slightly longer with faint hints of distinguished grey. His eyes are a natural piercing, cold blue… Though seem to be a bloodshot crimson when he is angered. Physically he is very muscular, with a thick mat of chest hair and a line running down to his navel. He has a large leafless tree of life tattoo on his back, and the Silver Eagle emblem on his right forearm. A new addition is an inverted crucifix upon the back of his neck.

Ring Attire:
Lasiewicz now has several outfits. He wears his black fingerless gloves, black armguards and black boots with all of these. He also wears a knee brace on his left knee.

The Morning Star

This tends to be his gear of choice at the moment in EXODUS. He wears yellow tights, with a golden blood drenched Morning Star frail on his left side and a crimson mane of hair on the other, which flows all the way down his leg (In reference to his time as Reno.). He wears a gold studded hooded leather jacket in crimson on his way to the ring, embroidered with the words “The Morning Star” on the back in crimson.

The Silver Eagle:

He wears grey tights with a large silver eagle on the side of each of his thighs. On route to the ring he wears a grey hooded leather jacket with 'The Silver Eagle' written in jagged silver letters on the back.

The Gambit:

A rarely used old skool outfit. He wears green tights with a purple trim. He has a four aces emblem on his left thigh. On route to the ring he wears a green hooded leather jacket with 'Come N' Place Ya Bets' written in purple letters on the back.

The Polish Spirit:

He loves his home country of Poland, and so has this outfit as well. His pants are in white and red halves, the colours of the Polish flag. His hooded leather jacket is exactly the same colour scheme. On the back is a picture of a bottle of Polish Vodka. On the bottle's label it reads' 100% Polish Spirit. He will carry the Polish Flag with him on route to the ring.

Gimmick and Personality: He is a dark and brooding borderline psychotic. He never seems to let his guard down, except with his closest allies. He has some personal regrets involving his family and loved ones, but not his career. He is a Ten Time World Champion and a multi time Hall of Famer, he knows he has won everything possible and is confident in his ability. Most of the time he tends to speak in cryptic parables, most not realising what he means until it is far to late. His determination to make his goals is legendary and he will not quit... even AFTER he has reached them. Has a tendency to appear or disappear from everyone's eyes, and has a strange fascination with crucifixes. It seems he is currently waging a mental war within himself..

Personal Biography:
His first love Jessica Corey (a former GDW, IDW and IWA interviewer.) was killed in tragic circumstances rumoured to have involved former GDW wrestler Nosferatu.
He was married (now divorced) to fellow GDW Hall of Famer, Angelica Jones. They have a daughter, Jessica Corey Lasiewicz. His daughter, now 19, is an active competitor. He also has twins, Duncan and Paige, aged four years from his relationship with Kayla Jones.
His closest friends and allies in wrestling are “Howlin' Mad” Murdock, ‘Big Pimpin’ Silver, Gabe Gambino and Jonathan Collins. He is also known friends of LJ Black, Sally Talfourd, Kat Grayson and Chandler Scott. He has a little sister as well, Lady Magdalena. Currently in a relationship with former World Champion, Heather Halliwell.

List up to three strengths of your character; they can be in-ring related, personality related, whatever you think helps define your character:
1. Experience: Lasiewicz has been in this business for a VERY long time. He doesn’t make rookie mistakes and his technical abilities are second to none.
2. Never Say Die: He has a never say die attitude. He would rather be crippled or killed than give up.
3. The Morning Star: He will go to any means to punish those who have done wrong in his mind, never relenting the damage and sometimes going to extreme lengths to do so. But if he REALLY goes into a rage, no one is safe. He truly lives up to the nickname. No one is safe…

List up to three weaknesses of your character:
1. Unwavering Loyalty: He is fiercely protective of The Turks and the GoW. If his allies are in trouble, this could distract him
2. The Morning Star: The other side of the coin is that if he snaps and goes into a blood rage, this could easily get him DQ’d if he brings in his baton, doesn’t release a submission hold or he ignores the referee’s orders. He will harm anyone around him, even friends and allies. Only a select few can calm him down and if they aren’t around… Trouble awaits.
3. Age: Andreas is no spring chicken, and after 20 plus years in the business he’s been through a lot.

Biography: Andreas Lasiewicz is one of the most decorated stars in wrestling history. For over twenty years he has been breaking records and winning titles in every federation he has entered.

HIs career started in a violent travelling Polish fed called the PWL. The PWL would tour Eastern Europe alongside gypsy travellers and perform at Carnivals and Fairgrounds. The schedule was brutal, fighting almost every day, usually in a steel cage. He knew if he was going to progress in this business, he would have to get out. He wanted to compete in the sport of wrestling, not in nightly blood baths. He quit the Polish Wrestling League and headed west.

After travelling around England for a couple of years, honing his craft at seaside wrestling towns such as Blackpool and Morecambe, and wrestling capitals of Doncaster, Guildford, Preston and Blackburn until he came to the States. After his time in small regional and Independent feds, He caught wind of the ReC making a contract available to whoever could beat the winner of an Underground tournament that had been held off-camera. This stated the Pole’s ‘American Dream’ in the late 90’s. Since that day, Andreas has plied his art in the ReC, FoH, AWA, IWA, IDW, FRONTIER and most notably GDW. During this time he accumulated ten World Title reigns and multiple other title reigns. He is now well respected by both the fans and his peers for his accomplishments and technical ability. But even in all this, he is feared for some of his past actions when he wreaked havoc on all before him. His mind-set was called into question many times, even his sanity as his dark, some say evil intentions came to play in the mid 2000’s. This is when he gained the nickname ‘The Morning Star’. Those dark days seemed over when he found himself once more alongside his beloved Kayla.

Most recently, he came to EXODUS as The Turk ‘Reno’, alongside Elena (Sally Talfould) and the man known as WEAPON. He came here to take out LEGION, to take vengeance in the name of his fallen friend. After The Turks unmasked to reveal themselves, they aligned with the Seikigun and alongside them they defeated LEGION. Andreas and Sally later claimed the Tag Team titles and numerous awards between them.

During his early days in EXODUS, he was unceremoniously fired by GDW. The full reasons have never come fully to light, but in the aftermath it caused the disintegration of his friendship with former GDW Owner Dan Herrera and his once loving relationship with Kayla Jones. Andreas mood has grown darker and colder over the past few months, and even the arrival of his allies, the world renowned ‘Godfathers of Wrestling’ hasn’t lifted his spirits. More and more often that darker side of him is creeping out in his matches…
