Entrance Music: Sober - Tool

The lights in the arena dim; the venue is subsequently filled with a dark ambiance, acting as a catalyst for those in attendance to cheer or boo the man next to emerge. Those already standing do just that, and soon the small arena begins to swell with vociferous noise. Now the arena lightning begins to cast only vague shadows and silhouettes - the only source of light and illumination is that of small red glows on the EXIT signs in the corners of the building. Stone Sour's new single,"Gone Sovereign" begins to greet the spectators. As the drums begin and the song picks up, a few moments pass of slight ponder, as to the whereabouts of Magnus Gunner, his entrance music signaling his presence. The confusion, bewilderment, and wide-panning out of on-foot cameras continues until the Michigander is finally spotted, in the middle of the far bleachers with a sea of patrons surrounding him. The Rock Messiah takes a step up onto the seats and stands over the masses, now visible to all in the arena while his theme begins the first verse.

[color=Teal][i]"There's a shadow just behind me,
Shrouding every step I take,
Making every promise empty,
Pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path of "must we"
Just because the son has come."[/i][/color]

Gunner stands still on his perch, his face blank, his burnished hair damp and wavy as usual, posing in a crucifix. Magnus dawns his black, leather jacket, and beneath it, his bare chest. Completing his brilliant ensemble is his usual blank trunks, kneepads, a pair of long length black boots with white laces, and taped wrists from knuckle to forearm. Magnus gazes far in the direction of the ring, as an uproar from the crowd sounds, mostly negative at the manic depressed star. He then climbs down from his pinnacle, and down the bleachers, gradually navigating across the arena floor through people and steer chairs alike, sauntering with a casual amble, a slow methodical walk- his arms leanding and dangling loosely, and carefully with pompous bearing, a sort of swagger and sway which would emphasize a very ostentatious person.

[i][color=Teal]"Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past is done?
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past is done?"[/color]

Magnus climbs over the guardrail to the ringside area, and makes his way to the ring. Gunner knees up onto the apron, slowly pulling himself up with the aid of the ropes. He turns to look at the camera, his eyes staring directly into the lens which captures his smoldering soul, and then into the outskirts of the arena, the jeers and boos of the patrons merely deflecting off of his aura. He slowly marches along the apron before climbing the turnbuckle. His head is lowered, as his fist are planted into the top padding; as he sits on his perch a top the ring he takes a deep breath, thought after thought rushing to the surface of his cerebral.

Magnus climbs down from the corner and drops down into the ring, his feet landing on the green canvas with a slight thud. With Haven Silver at ringside he hooks his arms back on the ropes, and bounces off of them a few times, limbering himself up. Afterward he backs into the corner, crouching slightly, his eyes narrowed and cold-blooded as his theme fades away.

Physical Appearance: Usually clad in a torn black leather jacket, ripped denim jeans and boots.

Ring Attire: Magnus wears black trunks with "MG" on the back in bold, white text, white wrist tape, black knee pads, and a black and white pair of boots.

Gimmick: Manic Depressive

Personality: Gunner is a severe, major manic depressive. He often sleeps excessively, can't eat, and loses focus in things that usually interest him, such as wrestling, which garners the ire of those around him. His depression stems from a number of things, including feelings of inadequacy and semi-self-hatred, feelings of being disrespected, and disappointment. Because of this, he also exhibits sociopathic traits, and feels the only way to make himself "feel happy" is to hurt people, or make them feel as low as he does. His habitual drug abuse, and alcoholism only adds to the chaos consuming him, yet despite urges from the few people around him to seek help, or counseling, he refuses.

2. Arrogance - Gunner enjoys dishing out punishment, and will often marvel after moves and such, leaving himself susceptible to mistakes.
3. Lapses In Focus - Because of his desire to hurt people, he often loses sight of his main goal, to win matches. He is prone to disqualifications.
