 The Saint Dojo was a small dojo operating in Tokyo, Japan. While never holding huge shows, its students were dedicated to their training in the art of pro-wrestling.   The most famous member (and most prized student), the late Saint Joey, adopted the name of the dojo as an homage to his training there. Since then it has housed many rising stars who wish to break into the wrestling world. Will these youngsters rise to become bigger stars? Will they fade into old age without ever seeing the spotlight? Only time will tell. ((Basically, this thread is serving as a profile dump for characters I've been working on/have worked on in the past. Criticism is always welcomed and appreciated.)) Profiles Incoming...

Age: 21
Height: 5'7"
Weight 115lbs
Hometown: Venice, Italy
Appearance:
Entrance:
In-Ring:
Backstage:
Entrance Theme: James LaBrie's MullMuzzler - Venice Burning
Entrance:
Vapore rises from the floor as "Venice Burning" begins to play. After a few secondi, a strange shape emerges from the curtain... the front end of a gondola! The boat pushes through the smoke, and stood in the center of it with her arm raised is una bella donna named Alessandra da Venezia! She jumps from the front of the boat and sprints down to the ring, jumping onto the apron and then oltre the top rope! She raises her braccio as she waits for the opponent.
Finishers:
The Venetian Mask
(Straightjacket Double Knee Backbreaker, transitioned into Straighjacket choke)
Plunge from the Basilica (/w Rialto)
(Straight jacket suplex /bridge)
Signatures and Commonly Used Moves
Rialto (bridged nothern lights suplex)
Campanile (Counter - when opponent is on turnbuckle, Alessandra runs to the turnbuckle, jumps up, aims a straight punch to the jaw, and excecutes a very quick superplex)
Call of the Doge (Jumping Hurricanerana)
Gondola Hold (Ankle lock/single leg boston crab combination)
Bio:
Una bella donna from Venezia, Alessandra is from a family of disgraced nobles-turned-thieves. She seeks to escape this life, and fled to America, where she trained to become a wrestler. Highly acrobatic, with a fighting spirit which matches her Italian passione and fire.
"Chiami i pompieri, 'cause tonight, I light al fuoco in the ring!" (Call the fire brigade, because tonight I light a fire in the ring)
"Stasera... I take you out! " (Tonight...)((Author Thoughts: A character I came up with a couple of years ago, and definitely one of my more fleshed-out characters. Keeping with my love of foreign characters, not speaking a lick of Italian did not deter me in the slightest. I thought it'd be a fun challenge, and hey, might learn a few phrases along the way. Useful for a holiday. I absolutely adore her moveset, and it was fun making it. I think the Italian theme pulled everything together quite nicely. Unfortunately, she never got used due to my prior retirement.))

Team Details: A team hailing from the land of the rising sun, they met while training in the Michinoku Dojo. They decided to try and break into the American federations. However, since neither of them speak good English, they decided on a rather controversial team name!((A couple of characters made to compete in tag-team divisions a couple of years ago. They had one match (I forget which guild), but were forced into retirement when I left. A shame, they were great fun to play as. It's always fun to play the reverse language barrier without trying to be offensive (see: Tiger Hat, although these two are far more obvious as stereotypes). Honestly, more of a parody of silly stereotyping than anything meant to be taken seriously. Fun to RP as, though.))

BRANIMIR PERICGaian Name: Extremist-Saint-Joey Character Name: Branimir "Bran" Perić Nicknames: "The Serbian Superior," "Slavic Strong-Style" Age: 27 Weight: 310lbs Height: 6'7 Heel/Face: Heel Gender: Male Hometown: Belgrade, Serbia Appearance: Entrance: In-Ring: Entrance Theme: Party Like A Rockstar (Rock Remix)Entrance Description: - PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR -
"Party Like a Rockstar (rock remix) begins to blare over the arena. Violently parting the curtain, "The Serbian Superior" Branimir Peric walks out on to the stage. He pops his collar, an obnoxious grin forming to twist the cigarette in his mouth. He does not acknowledge the audience as he walks down the ramp, throwing the cigarette butt at them before reaching the ring. He rolls under the bottom rope, swiftly taking his jacket off with a motion of his arm. He climbs the corner, ripping off his shades to glare at the audience. A seriously angry look on his face, he slowly puts his shades back on, his toothy arrogance returning, before jumping off the turnbuckle and heading ring-centre, his arms folded as he waits impatiently. Trademark and Commonly Used Moves: Belgrade Buster (Elevated Gutbuster) Belgrade Boot (running Big Boot) Belly-to-Belly Suplex Sit-Out Powerbomb Finishers: "A Serbian Move" (spinning double powerbomb) "The Slavic Schism" (Hellevator) Bio: A rough, tough, no-bullshit Serbian man, trained in the Saints Dojo. At almost complete odds with everyone else trained there, he works a heavyweight style, being far too tall and heavy to work the fast-paced style of the others. That being said, he became adept at throwing the others around, his natural arrogance and strength making him an ideal heel character. Very short tempered, fiercely proud of his heritage, and tough as nails, Bran takes s**t from nobody.
((A more recent character, I wanted to work a heel character but didn't really know a direction to take. Fun fact: I've never used a character above 250lbs before. Serbia was chosen by closing my eyes and pointing at a map, but it got worked heavily into his profile in the early stages. The profile is, quite clearly, not entirely complete, but I had nowhere else to go with it.))

CLAIRE NEONGaian Name: Extremist-Saint-Joey Character Name: Claire Neon Age: 20 Weight: ???lbs (she wouldn't say) Height: 5'6" Heel/Face: Face Gender: Female Hometown: Milton Keynes, UK Appearance:   Entrance Theme: Pretty Rave Girl 2010 - DJ S3rlEntrance Description: - STROBE LIGHTS - - TIME TO FIGHT? -- INTRODUCING TO YOU -- CLAIRE NEON -A nightcore remix of "Pretty Rave Girl" begins to play, strobe lights of every colour penetrating the darkness of the arena. Claire Neon, dressed as bright as a rainbow, skips out onto the stage, a glow stick in each hand. She throws her arms up, pointing to the sky with colour, as two sparkling multi-coloured fireworks erupt from behind her with a bang. Keeping one arm raised, she makes her way to the ring, paced at a fast jog. She rolls under the bottom rope, speeding to the ring's opposite corner. More strobe lights flash across the ring as she points the glow sticks across at the audience, before throwing them to her fans. She rips her shades off, throwing them into the crowd too, prompting a cheer. Hopping down from the corner, she jumps up high, full of adrenaline and ready for the night's challenge! Trademark and Commonly Used Moves: Snapmare Dropkick Missile Dropkick "With Flying Colours" (Whisper in the Wind) ROYGBIV (Strike Combination - 3 head punches, 2 body punches, a roundhouse kick and a spinning back kick) Finishers: Neon Nightmare (Regal Stretch) Over The Rainbow (Tornado DDT) Bio: A British girl who went to the Saint Dojo after being scouted by Saint Joey. Best described as "a stupid girl who likes bright lights and dancing," Joey nonetheless saw great promise in Claire, and he wasn't wrong to doubt her - her cruiserweight maneuvers are quite a sight to behold. A big personality, Claire always lights the room up when she walks in - because she's always dressed in obscenely bright colours and carrying her trademark glowsticks. ((Fun Fact: Claire was actually a character before she had a profile: she's loosely based off of an avatar I made to help me host the WWF:G Dance Contest (it can be seen in "Joey does LMFAO"). Another character that I just wanted to be a bit of fun, with a very definable and obvious gimmick.))

TIGER GIRLWWF:G TAG TEAM CHAMPION!
w/ Eliza Monteiro (The Slamazons) The Slamazons defeated The Beached Whales!Gaian Name: Extremist-Saint-Joey Real Name: Cristina García Character Name: "Tiger Girl" (Tora Shōjo) Age: 19 Weight: 112lbs Height: 5' 5" Heel/Face: Face Gender: Female Hometown: Bogotá, Colombia (hailing from Tokyo, Japan) Appearance: Entrance:  Ring:  Entrance Theme: Shakira - "Whenever, Wherever" (Instrumental)
Entrance Description: [Normally accompanies Tiger Hat - if not, her entrance is not broadcast] A pleasant instrumental version of Shakira's "Whenever, Wherever" plays over the PA as Tiger Girl merrily makes her way down to the ring. She moves at a quick pace, waving to the fans. She slides under the bottom rope, slowly getting to her feet and raising her arm again as her music fades out. She smiles as she waits for the opponent to enter. Trademark and Commonly Used Moves: Has no particular ring style. Learned some signatures from Tiger Hat - rarely has the chance to use them. Finishers: Tiger Suplex (learned from Tiger Hat) Biography: Trained in the "Saint's Dojo" in Japan, Cristina soon developed a very close friendship with the wrestler "Tiger Hat." Adopting his demeanour and trademark look, she worked hard to become a competent wrestler, but often found herself as Tiger Hat's valet, thus her training fell somewhat to the wayside. Luckily her happy-go-lucky attitude and pleasant smile kept her a popular attraction at the small shows. ((Oh come on, as if I need to explain this one. Doesn't Tiger Hat deserve a little happiness in the form of a young colombian woman? But I digress. Not a very fleshed out profile, because she's a valet - not meant for in-ring action, other than occasionally jobbing or a mixed tag match (in which she would avoid entering as much as possible). After Tiger debuted, I figured a valet might keep him fresh, and would go well with the crowds.))

 The Future Is Bright
The Future... Is Me

Legacy took his name shortly after - he sees himself as the last, and greatest student of the dojo, and will give his life to honour its glory. However, he'd rather give others for the cause, as he reaches for the golden BBW championship, to further both the legacy of the school, and to forge a legend of his own. Moveset: Past to The Future ((Mark of Excellence)) The After-Death Experience ((Falling variation of the guillotine choke)) Hallowed Shot Mk. 3 ((Double Spinning Powerbomb)) Tiger Driver 2020 ((Tiger Driver '91)) Reinvented Tiger Knee! ((Rising Jumping Knee from Clinch)) Ancient Tiger Suplex ((Stalling Tiger Suplex)) Plunge to the Future ((Bridged Straightjacket Suplex)) The Old Nerve Hammer ((Hammerlock into Burning Hammer)) Finishers: Remember This ((Running Big Boot)) The Birth of the Hero ((Stalling Emerald Flowsion Kai w/ Taunt)) "The legend will never die. Not as long as I breathe. The past catches up with everybody... so tell me, what will you do when it catches up with you?"

All good stuff, very well fleshed out characters.
There is something though, usually when people are from the same dojo/training thing.
They all have a signature move or something in their arsenal dedicated to main person from it.
For example, the Dungeon. Most of the Hart members used the Sharpshooter, and the rest is history.
Maybe the Saint Dojo has it's own move, or at least the others have a move from Joey's arsenal they all use
(but not as main primary finishers, but it is included in their arsenal)

I'll have a think about it.

...You know, now I'm tempted to do something like this...mostly for putting character concepts on the back burner until I want to start utilizing them.
