Character Info
Name: Cassius Reed
Twitter Handle: @xplan_Cx
Height: 6'
Weight: 205lbs
Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Alignment: -4. He's a Reed brother, do I need to go on?
Entrance Music: You Suck by Pour Habit
Entrance Description:
Physical Appearance: Afro hair style, moustache. Some hair on his chest, relative toned, not overly stacked. Some scarring is noticeably present around the elbow pad on his right arm. Picture base is Xavier Woods.
Ring Attire: Black "bicycle short" style trunks, with the word CASSIUS written on the front waistband in bold, white text. Black wrist bands, with white edging, and black boots, with white laces and soles. A single black elbow pad on his right elbow.
Gimmick: The middle child of the Brothers Reed. Not as outright offensive as Aries, not as surly as Darius, but way more arrogant. Also still carries aspects of his 70s Blaxploitation persona he used as Funky Dragon.
Personality: Arrogant, offensive, quick to get into fights. He's a Reed. And an egotistical showboater.
List up to three strengths of your character:
1. Floats Like A Butterfly: Cassius is very light on his feet. He'll bob, he'll weave, he'll matrix, he'll flip, he'll do handstands, he's amazing.
2. Stings Like A Bee: Cassius isn't the most powerful wrestoer, but he's very good at using what he has with his strikes. He has a similar boxing background to his brothers, but with more success, which he uses to great effect giving his punches added power.
3. Cheaters Always Prosper: Cassius knows that sometimes you need a bit more of an edge to get the win. And that only the truly brave competitor will take that step to do it. Cassius is not only prepared to cheat (low blows, feigning being hit by illegal objects, etc.), he's quite good at it. Think Jesse Ventura, Eddie Guerrero or Ric Flair. He also cheats by having too many signature moves. BECAUSE HE'S GOOD AT CHEATING.
List up to three weaknesses of your character:
1. Bad Elbow: Due to a childhood incident involving Aries, his right elbow has never quite been the same. By and large it's fine, but if someone targets it...
2. Double Edged Sword: He cheats a lot. Although he's good at it, the law of averages state that eventually, he will get caught, and DQed. Oh well.
3. Put On A Show: He's a chronic showboater, and can some times get carried away in doing so, leading to his downfall.
Biography: The middle child of the Reed clan. A good few years younger than big brother Darius, but uncomfortably close to younger brother Aries, Cassius has always thought himself better than his lot in life. His whole childhood was spent competing with his younger brother for favour, in school, in Pee Wee leagues, with girls, they've always been in competition with each other.
When Aries declared he'd follow Darius into boxing, Cassius stepped straight up too, and found an environment he could excel in. In his own weight category, he outstripped both of his brothers accomplishments, and when Darius went to prison, Cassius moved away to pursue his boxing career, the only tie keeping him around being severed.
But then Darius came back. Aries reached out to their older brother, and pulled him back into the world of wrestling. And Aries was good at wrestling. Very good.
Cassius couldn't have his little brother outperforming him, now, could he?
So Cassius trained, and trained hard, in secret, to enter their world. Quietly, slowly, he trained. He greased palms. Met people. And finally, he secured a deal with a new, fledgling Lucha organisation, a company he'd heard was soon to make a massive splash, and join up with the companies his brothers worked for. And so he assumed his disguise, that of the Funky Dragon, and started wrestling around Mexico. Building a rep, building a style, and just preparing himself for the day his new contract would put himself back in contact with his brothers.
It's been a long time coming. And soon, the whole world will know which Reed brother is the cream of the crop.
You'd better be wet, world, or else Cassius is coming in dry!

Entrance Music: You Suck by Pour Habit
Entrance Description:
The lights start to pulse around the entranceway, as You Suck by Pour Habit starts to play over the PA system.
“It’s not my fault your girlfriend likes me,
I do her hard like fucking warp speed.
Your Dad’s mad, it’s not my fucking fault,
That your Mom wants to fucking fuck me!”
With the bizarre laugh that follows that line, Cassius Reed comes sprinting into the arena, pausing for only a moment at the top of the ramp as he throws a pair of one finger salutes at the crowd. He laughs, before sprinting down to the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope.
Once in the ring, Cassius rises, arms spread, revelling in the boos of the crowd, his smile wide on this face. After few moments spent arguing with someone in the crowd, he flips them off, before retreating to his corner for the match.
