Character Info[/u]
Name: Silver Squid
Height: 6'0
Weight: 227lbs
Hometown: Taco or Consequences, Mexico
Alignment: Face
Entrance Music: Mexican Hat Dance played poorly by a live mariachi band.
Entrance Description:
Physical Appearance: Hard to say due to his ring attire.
Ring Attire: Exactly the same as the Orange Octopus, except silver... and a squid.
Gimmick: The Silver Squid is a lucha libre expert... in his mind. In reality, every single lucha move he attempts, he botches. Every single one. During matches he is known to continually get annoyed at his ability to not land any high flying manoeuvres (aside from your top rope dropkicks or elbow drops), that he tends to snap mid-match and revert to a more ruthless, traditional style of wrestling. Talks Spanish, but pronounced all wrong (in roleplays, I will be spelling out the words how he pronounces them) giving the impression he isn't actually from Mexico. Often slips in an English word while attempting to talk Spanish by mistake.
Personality: The Silver Squid comes across as a light hearted character, but gives the impression on occasion that his demeanour is all an act, especially when he loses his temper during matches or in interviews, showing his ruthless, cut-throat side.
List up to three strengths of your character; they can be in-ring related, personality related, whatever you think helps define your character:
1. Ruthlessness
2. Technical wrestling ability
3. Versatility
List up to three weaknesses of your character:
1. Lucha Libre style
2. Ability to speak Spanish
3. Hot headed
Biography: The origins of the Silver Squid are unknown. There seems to be no record of such a character before.
Wrestling Style: He begins matches attempting lucha libre, botching all high flying manoeuvres that he attempts, before getting angry and switching to a more technical, ruthless, pure wrestling style.
Finishers
1. Calamari Special - An attempted springboard superkick, usually attempted after coming off the ropes, ducking past the opponent and catching them unawares as they turn around with it. Usually misses the ropes and slides right out.
2. Squid Jam - Double-kneed backbreaker. Costume doesn't allow him to grip his opponent well enough and usually ends up not pulling him down.
3. Superkick - Predominantly his main finisher. Always used after he loses his head and reverts to a more dominant, traditional wrestling style.
Signature Moves
1. Black Ink - He spits black ink in to the face of his opponent, often times missing and resulting in a kick to the face.
2. Squid Squeeze - Essentially the Tarantula
3. Squidward Splash - Top rope big splash. Again, often missed.
Regular Moves You don't need to fill out all the slots for moves.
Lucha moves usually botched:
1. Hurricanrana - either forgets to lock legs and bring them over or gets powerbombed
2. Springboard Moonsault - Never manages to flip over, usually lands straight on his back, but sometimes landing on his opponent
3. Suicide Dive - Often missed
4. Dragonrana
Plus any others you can think of which could lead to amusing/frustration situations.
More ruthless moves when frustrated:
1. Short arm clothesline x3 - Doesn't let go of the arm, picks them back up and does it again
2. Single leg Boston crab
3. Corner splash
4. Floataround DDT
5. Spear
6. Impaler DDT
7. Scoop slam
8. Flying forearm
9. Sitout Powerbomb
10. Spinebuster
11. Figure Four
12. Crossface
13. Top Rope Elbowdrop

Entrance Music: Mexican Hat Dance played poorly by a live mariachi band.
Entrance Description:
Guitar strings being played poorly is heard throughout the arena, as a mariachi band walks out from behind the curtain. The song is barely recognisable as the Mexican Hat Dance, as the Silver Squid makes his way out behind them, straddled on top of a donkey. He waves his tentacles to the crowd as the donkey makes its way towards the ring, before it abruptly stops. The Silver Squid tries encouraging it to move forward but the donkey refuses to budge. The Silver Squid is forced to ditch his donkey half way towards the ring and while visibly upset and shaking his head, makes his way towards the ring. Sliding under the bottom rope, he gets in to the ring and climbs the turnbuckle, once again raising his arms into the air.Physical Appearance: Hard to say due to his ring attire.
