BUMPAGE!!!
For those who have knowlege of the history of Afro-Americans is wrestling, Ron's should sound fairliy familiar. His first name "Ron" is taken from Ron Simmons. His last name "Atlas" is taken from wrestling great (Who's still wrestling and still looks amazing despite being 51) Tony Atlas.
His look is barrowed from a younger wrestler who wrestles down in houston named Prince Fontenot, who is a wrestler/Body builder/powerlifter (Also where I got Ron's gimmick).

I've seen him live! Uh, Thrush is my CM Punk ripoff, and IBC is me in a nutshell. Unlike other people, I actually tried to get my body type correct as well... |

For those who are unaware of the history behind Simon Fierhart, allow me to delve back into his past...
Simon was amongst my 1st ever caws on a little game called WWF Warzone, the FIRST game that ever let you create your own wrestler (Note: This is also the same place were many of my older guys were created as well, Stan The Man, Mr. Showtime, Terry Smith, Dru Romeo (Now Mr. Nedermer), ETC). This was 1998 I believe. He of course back the was know as Kaos (Later re-spelled Kayos do to the number of caws with the same name). His initial idea was based of Sting & Taker, in that he was a dark, brooding, almost supernatural kind of man. Shrouded in mystery, and capable of unspeakable feats of evil. Essentially, as the games kept coming, Simon evolved. Year by year I'd make him darker, more sinister and more relentless. It was when the 1st Smackdown game came out that I gave him an actually name, Simon Fierhart. The Kayos persona had already been worked on, including "how" he bacame Kayos, but of course he needed an actual identity to make it believable (though it was clearly fiction of course). It was also here that the OTHER Fierharts were made, Heather and Ryan.
By the 1st SDvR game, I had decided that maybe it was time to lay the character Kayos to rest, and make him Simon Fierhart instead. Since then I've always made two versions of him. Kayos and Simon. Same moves, but two separate looks. 2008 will make the 10th year of Simon/Kayos' existence, and as such, here, and next season (which much like Dru in APW will be Simon's last in an efed) is where I delve into the character of Simon himself. Kayos is already WELL documented in the annuls of Efedding history. So now I finish of his story in XWA before retiring him from Efeds.

I have also been making Kevin Killer since Warzone. He started out as a cruiserweight and over the years I bumped him to heavyweight then finally superweight. But Kevin Killer also has a brutal darkside named Synyster Sam Stone. I might type up a formula for him.

^ You don't RP much, do ya? ^
ANYWHOOO.. Ryan's has been made since HCTP. I had the idea for him back when Shut Your Mouth came out, but I never got the game, and I didn't want to make him on JBI cuz my "main" caw, Cobra, woulda pwned him hardcore.
My original idea was based on Arnie S. ... Yeah.. lol.. I had invisioned a beastly movie star that had a cocky attitude, but I decided to make him somewhat scrawny because I wanted him to go for the I.C. title in HCTP's story, mostly because noone was challenging for it.
I guess that's Ryan Blaze.
EDIT: Comment directed at Kevin Killer.

I can't really remember any direct inspiration for Vel. It was one of those "what the hell I'll give it a shot" moments. I was bored and it was rainy out so I popped in 07, mixed and matched pieces and thus Vel was born. And Thr33X did some work on her and created the Vel that you see before you.
So yeah, Vel is definitly a new character.

As mentioned before, Simon was born from inspiration of Sting/Taker. Last year I opted to base his face off Disturbed front man David Draimon.
Ryan was originally morphed as a younger version of Simon, with slight face variants. But for 07 I decided to mix elements of Simon and Heather's face morphs to create the version you see today.
Evan Fate...self explanatory. A little Sylas Styles, a Little Riot, and ALOT of my own personal character traits.

Kris Cade has been my main guy in terms of originals. Usually I just remake my favorite real life wrestlers, but since I was introduced to Caws.ws, I've taken a few stabs at originals. Some come out like Cade, some don't work out so well. But Cade's definatly my best original to date. I took some attire and morphing ideas from such members as Kaoz, Sila, and Remedy and basically put him together in 06. Aside from some obvious design tweaks and a move update, he remains unchanged from his 06 version.
His gimmick is all me though. S.B.D., Silent But Deadly. He's not going to cut super flashy promos, or have witty one liners. He is what he is, a shooter. His in ring style is like William Regal or Kurt Angle in that he's technically sound, and will hit you hard enough to hurt, but not hard enough to injure This is my E-Fed Debut, so I'm hoping to do well with him ic posting and in the ring.

Hmm...
For Testudo, the name is from a Roman defense technique where they would lock all their shields together, like a turtle.
And considering how big they usually are, I thought the name would fit this big man.
So yeah, makes sense doesn't it?

Tyler has been made since WWF No Mercy and basically on any wrestling game I've ever had. My main inspriation came when I got No Mercy and before making a CAW, I watched a old WCW tape, with the Original Horsemen and on that tape was a Ric Flair promo. Tyler was mainly created as a heelish Ric Flair type, but then transitioned into a Shane Douglas like character and now he's just a whole mix of alot of people.

Harris was created in SD vs Raw 06 and his attire looked like Orton's, so I guess you could say my first inspiration was Randy's attire. This year I tried something completely different and this is how he came out  . |

Heather started out as a mere Valet for Dru and another of my caws, Elai Kolenovic (There Team name was "The Impact Players"). In fact, back then her name was Hannah Friedel (Kayfabe name now). When I decided to give Simon some siblings, I opted to make "Hannah" one of them. This was when the 1st SDvR game came out, and one of the default names was "Heather", hence she became Heather Fierhart. Since then it was only those 3 I would make, but then I came up with the idea of there being 5 Fierhart siblings, which became Raymond, the "middle child" and Alexandre, the oldest of the 5.
As you guessed, Heather's come a long way since the 1st Smackdown game. Before I'd just recycle Simon's moveset for her, but since last years game, I've been giving her an exclusive moveset based more on submissions then striking (which is the Fierhart forte'). This year's Heather is the best version yet, both Attire and move wise. ;D
