Character Info
Name: Emi Watanabe
Twitter Handle (if applicable): @thehumankaiju
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 214 lbs.
Hometown: Nagasaki, Japan
Age: 25
Alignment: -3. Watanabe's (R)W incarnation is far more prickish than she was in EXODUS, taking great pleasure in bullying around the rookies and generally causing havoc and mayhem wherever possible. Couple that with a chip on her shoulder for having to be IN (R)W to begin with, and...yeah.
Entrance Music: "Godzilla" by the Blue Oyster Cult
Entrance Description:
The Blue Oyster Cult's “Godzilla” begins to play, and amidst the driving guitars, one figure appears at the top of the ramp.
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down
Dressed for battle in her usual white Gods & Monsters t-shirt, cowboy boots, and dark blue jeans, the woman who calls herself the Human Kaiju marches towards the ring on her way to raise Hell. She flips off fans liberally, a scowl on her face.
Helpless people on subway trains
Scream, bug-eyed, as he looks in on them
David Zinkus: Introducing at this time!
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
David Zinkus: Standing six feet, one inches tall, she weighs in at two-hundred and eleven pounds! Representings Gods & Monsters, this is THE HUMAN KAIJU... WATANAAAAAABE...EMIIIII!
Emi ascends the ring steps, before stepping into the squared circle. With an almost bored look on her face, she settles back into the corner, giving the official a few choice words as she limbers up for battle.
Oh, no, they say he's got to go
Go go Godzilla
Oh, no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla
Physical Appearance: Light brown/dark brown layered hair, hanging down about neck height. Her forehead is somewhat scarred from competing in street fights and deathmatches back home. Built thick, very much like on again, off again tag partner Ryuji Kamigawa. (Pic base is Yumiko Hotta; think of Emi as essentially an upsized Hotta with Tsubasa Kuragaki's hair.)
Ring Attire: Watanabe generally dresses for combat as if competing in a joshi street fight. Her ring attire consists of a Gods & Monsters t-shirt (white, always, to soak up any blood spilled by either combatant), cowboy boots, and dark blue jeans. She is well aware that Gods & Monsters no longer exists - but she likes the shirt and what it stands for, and will continue to wear it. Don't like it? Go try and take it off of her.
Gimmick: Joshi puroresu styled monster heel. HYPER-aware of the fact that she's beating up rookies, and smiles about it every day. Huge bully to people she doesn't like. Generally a giant prick heel who you want to see get her ass kicked.
Personality: Arrogant and dismissive to most people. Loves to curse whenever she gets the chance. With her friends and such, she's much more laid back, but you're probably not one of those, so sucks to be you.
List up to three strengths of your character; they can be in-ring related, personality related, whatever you think helps define your character:
1. Hard-hitting. Watanabe hits like a truck. All of her strikes, for what they lack in technicality, are thrown with malicious, hateful intent.
2. Monster Heeldom. She feeds off of the crowd's dislike – and often uses it to encourage her to beat up her opposition more. When fighting outside the ring, she'll throw an opponent into the barricade and get right up in the face of fans, scream at them in Japanese, the whole nine yards.
3. Experience. In terms of (R)W, Watanabe is a VETERAN, in spite of not having wrestled that many matches in her five year career. It's something she'll use to her advantage.
List up to three weaknesses of your character:
1. Lack of technical knowhow. Emi's actual basic wrestling knowledge is minimal, so getting her down and working a few good holds will tend to help her opposition immensely. It tends to be the getting her down that's the problem.
2. Hateful Arrogance. Emi tends to enjoy punishing her opposition, at times to the exclusion of going for pinfalls when she perhaps should, and even pulling "beaten" opponents up at two. This gives opponents chances to get back into bouts that she should likely have had iced minutes ago. This is even worse now due to how goddamned arrogant she is about the chance to beat up rookies/young boys & girls.
3. No Strategic Variation. She basically has to try and bully people. It's all she has. Against significantly larger opponents, she has a much tougher time, even with cheating like a motherfucker, especially as she's too stubborn to try anything else.
Athletic Background: Rugby throughout most of school. She also has more experience in ring than most of the (R)W roster, a fact that she'll flaunt whenever she gets the chance.
Biography: She's been on the main EXODUS roster - hell, she's brawled with Wulf Erikssen and Steve Lenton for the EXODUS Pro World Tag Team Championships. So why the Hell is Emi Watanabe in Revolution Wrestling? Simple.
In a seemingly inocuous handicap match against Zack Lifer, Watanabe partially tore her ACL planting to hit the ropes. The injury was set to take three months to heal, but setbacks made that time closer to four to five months, during which her contract with EXODUS was terminated.
Returning to Japan once healed, she participated on several Four Islands Pro Wrestling shows, seeing it as a potential road back to EXODUS due to the company's collaboration. Eventually, officials contacted her - but not for EXODUS. Instead, (R)evolution Wrestling offered her a year-long deal in a stint that would be intended as equal parts learning expedition and rehab trip. Privately, Watanabe was aghast and humiliated, but wanting to return to American rings, she swallowed her pride and agreed.
Once arriving, though, she realized that she was a big fish in a small pond. More experienced than everyone, she set out to destroy pretty much anyone in her path. There are roughly three people not in her path, so it's probably bad odds for you.
Wrestling Style: Joshi monster heeldom and uber-dickery. Lots of cheating and arrogant posing and throwing her weight around in between stiff as Hell strikes. She generally wrestles as if her opposition is beneath her at all times.
Finishers
1. AK-09 (Unfathomably stiff rising left elbow strike, thrown uppercut-style, and designed to land under the chin.The name is, of course, a play on the AK-47 assault rifle, with 09 = 2009, the year Watanabe debuted.)
2. Descent to Yomi (Back to belly piledriver, aka the Bull's Poseidon/Beach Break. Watanabe's “limit break” finisher.)
Signature Moves
1. Ghidorah's Hammer (Running lariat to the back of an opponent's head.)
2. Crown of Thorns (Pulling piledriver. Think Mick Foley)
3. E-M-I (Left elbow → right elbow → delayed right spinning back fist. Pronounced Eee-Emm-Eye)
Regular Moves You don't need to fill out all the slots for moves.
1. Clubbing forearm strikes to the face/back/chest (primary striking offense)
2. Kneelift to the abdomen.
3. Double stomp (standing, to prone opponent)
4. Running back senton to prone opponent.
5. Kneedrop to the back of an opponent's neck.
6. Vertical suplex (delayed vertical suplex against lighter foes)
7. Flapjack (elevating an opponent in the air, and then simply letting them fall style)
8. Hair mares (she's different from most in that she does them to guys, too. Anyone with hair is fair game! Plus she likes to LAUNCH people)
9. Samoan drop
10. Front powerslam (aka, the World's Strongest Slam)
11. Inverted sidewalk slam (imagine a gutwrench suplex lift simply dropped face-first to the canvas)
