Background: A veteran wrestler for more than a decade, Krash has traveled the globe via dozens of promotions, creating allies, finding enemies, and winning gold all the while. Trained in VCAA under the questionably-professional teachings of Murphy Dreyer, Krash didn’t seem to have that bright of a future, being used as more of a punching bag for Murphy’s more prized students to hone their skills on. His big break came primarily by accident - a more national-sized company named OWW: Takedown was having a battle royal to showcase talents across the globe, and after Murphy tricked them into thinking his own company was ‘the biggest in Australia’ when it was barely more than a developmental without a parent company, he arranged for his best student to take part of it.
Except his ‘best student’ tore his Achilles tendon shortly before the show, forcing Murphy to find a replacement. Krash was the first person he saw, so he threw a plane ticket at him and told him not to disappoint. From there, his career took off - following success in Takedown, to CGS, CAW, APW, CWA, and finally FWA, with countless championships, treasured allies… And more than a few enemies.
Previous Personality: A polite, dramatic thespian with a habit of talking a little bit too much, Krash tended to hold a dry optimistic worldview, often attempting to avoid conflict and opt for a pragmatic solution. As the saying goes, ‘you catch more flies with honey than vinegar’, with many an opponent letting their guard down by his affable, pleasant demeanor.
And yet, as one vagabond once alluded to, that silver tongue of his is surrounded by sharp teeth. And as a former mentor once said, he’s burnt so many bridges he should be choking on the smoke. There is a reason he’s won countless titles and accolades throughout his career, after all. While there is no doubt that the treasure of genuine companionship is something Krash is dearly fond of, with a reputation for being endearingly friendly, others hint that a conniving, backstabbing scoundrel lies somewhere beneath the surface.
The truth is likely somewhere in between.
Current Personality: Following the Jeremy Best incident, Krash has grown withdrawn, reserved, an empty shell of the man he once was. Up until very recently, he was emotionally numb, unable to feel much of anything from an emotional standpoint, be it the companionship of a treasured friend, or the rush of fighting within the squared circle. He was, and in a way still is, a hollowed husk of himself. The connections were severed, and while he’s still trying to keep up the appearance of the affable, good-natured man he was before the incident, it’s increasingly apparent to those who listen that something is missing, something he’s trying to force into existence through will and effort, and failing to do so.
Burying Jeremy alive was only the first step in the long, long process to becoming himself again. It will take time, and effort, to be who he once was.
Previous Gimmick: High-flying veteran showman. Talkative gentleman, or someone passing as it.
Current Gimmick: PTSD-induced trauma. Frequent spells of dissociation. Reserved. Withdrawn. Aware that he is not the person he once was, aware that he is currently missing his emotional state and his ability to feel things, and will do anything to recover them and be himself again.
Wrestling Style: Showman high flyer. Excels at crowd control and bringing a crowd to life. Favors a strong speed and defense base, utilizing his agility to stay ahead of the game. Or, to use the H.A.T.S ™ wrestling-based stat styling system…
Hardcore - Third strongest trait. Has experience digging deep to inflict and withstand pain with weaponry attached..
Aerial - Strongest trait. Poise and balance is second to none, graceful like a swan. A step behind what he used to be.
Technician - Weakest trait and aware of it. Will try to avoid going hold-to-hold and fall into that gameplay of matwork.
Striker - Second strongest trait. Favors quick and efficient footwork to strike opponent with dazzling kicks.

Hey. Figured I should put this up somewhere for when I decide to come back. This thread will also double for any other characters, like Violet, so expect her profile to pop up in this thread in an hour or so.
