Things You Didn't Know About...

[Carmella Blackheart]

(Insert Character Name Here) ;D

With this thread, I'd like to put out some things about your character(s) that may be common knowledge to you, but not to the rest of the league. They could be major personality traits, minor factoids or just your basic "Did You Know" bits, so that your fellow members have some more info about your character that a profile/bio doesn't cover. To begin this, I'll start with the boss lady.

Things You Didn't Know About...Carmella Blackheart

1) She is the head of a vast corporate empire, The Blackheart Foundation, of which XWA is one of several "child" companies of. It just happens to be her favorite though, but her other subsidiaries range from consumer products to information technology to military contracting (as in weapons manufacturing).

2) Her actual age is 34 years old.

3) Carmella was once a member of an investigation/enforcement bureau that will remain unnamed. As result, she has many ties with the governments of several nations. She's also a battle-hardened individual with years of experience around the world (Similar to Miss Balalaika of the anime/manga series "Black Lagoon").

4) She's not intimidated by anyone...and I mean ANYONE. Another result of her past profession. She may well be the most fearless woman in the world. Having dealt with criminals, terrorists and the like, she brushes off the "bravado" and "bitchiness" of any XWA Superstar/Diamond with a laugh.

5) She's an avid practitioner of Sado-Masochism. While she's more the "dominant" type for obvious reasons, she's known to be submissive to a certain romantic interest.

6) Most likely a side-effect of her affinity for S&M, she loves leather and lace outfits, chains, buckles and other constricting accessories and is known to on her personal time wear form fitting catsuits of one of the other, or both.

5) Her birthplace is Barcelona, and she considers herself to be a Spanish-American.

6) Though her past and hobbies wouldn't suggest it, Carmella is a kind-hearted woman with an overtly maternal quality to her. She believes in using her wealth for good purposes, and on a personal level is generous to all her employees. She's respected by all surrounding her, and gives it as well as many riches in return to those who show her respect.

7) She's the romantic interest of one Vincent Fate (aka Riot, my flagship CAW), and has possession of his original mask (my excuse for not being able to re-create it with the new CAW set-up, lol).

8) Her only known living relative is her half-sister, Callisto Dark.

9) She's a devout martial artist, and at one point held held private fighting tournaments, inviting fighters from around the world to compete, a tradition founded by her father, the patriarch of the empire she now controls.

10) Secretly, she had always had the desire to have become either a female wrestler or fighter herself, had things not obviously turned out where she became a millionairess. Fancy that.

[Lilith]

- The One And Only, Lilith Creighton -


1.) She's 29 going on 24.
Lilith cannot stand the fact that she ages period, especially after having the Lilium Strain Virus dragged forcibly out of her body in recent years. Now the aging process will actually have an effect on her. Bastards.

2.) She absolutely loves to 'Love-Hate'.
Her more memorable feuds with Claire 'Crymson' Arlett and Lessien Melwasul were always on boarder line fences of Love & Hate. [You know, in Lilith's mind] However this was more prevalent in her 'relationship' with Lessien, as the two were both fully aware... if it ever happened - It'd be the last thing they ever did.

3.) She's insanely jealous.
Though Lilith possesses attractive features and somewhat high standing fighting skills, she is incessantly jealous of a majority of females she comes into contact with. Regardless or not if this jealousy is actually FOUNDED. [I.E., she can be BETTER looking or better AT something than the other female and STILL have a seed of jealousy deep rooted in her mind]

4.) She adores cute things.
Despite being a utter bitch 24/7/365 to mostly just about anyone or thing with a pulse, Lilith has a inner most weakness for things that are absolutely undeniably motherfuckin' cute. She hides this well, but in her personal life it's quite prevalent. [Frills are in]

5.) She doesn't ACTUALLY hate men.
In order to hate something you have to recognize it's right to exist. Lilith has however had a spot in her heart for very special and select men. Obviously Jon Pryor and Brent Starr are these exceptions.

6.) She's Skin-Sured.
Though it's common knowledge that her infamous thighs and vivaciously known and lusted after/despised, ass; are both covered by insurance. Her porcelain skin tone, another point of her fame in it's own right, has also been taken under her coverage wing. Wonder if the hair's next?

7.) She's Fear - Less?
Outward appearances are a great thing, you can twist them to however you want people to accept them. Despite the way she appears in the ring at times, and outside of it; Lilith is NOT fearless. There have been many in-ring instances, and even scuffles outside of it [Some of which she herself caused] which have shaken her confidence and psyche to it's very core. A particular Parking Lot 'Dance' with Claire-Bear is a prime example of how even 'The One And Only Lilith Creighton' can feel true, terrifying, Fear.

8.) She hates Wasps.
Despite being an avid fangirl of anything to do with Spiders and or Snakes, Lilith cannot stand anything to do with the Bee/Wasp/Hornet variety. She isn't afraid of them, she just wishes for them to not be alive, anymore. She can't explain why, but something about the creature in and of itself, just pisses her off.

9.) She cooks.
Lilith can't stand the idealistic stereotype men have of women needing to be able an cook cause it's their 'job'. But despite this hatred, Lilith learned how to cook at a young age, and has been perfecting this hobby ever since. Just don't ask her to make you a sandwich. You will die.

10.) She has a heart.
Despite being a more than obvious duh moment, the general impression of Lilith Creighton over her tenure in the world of Professional Wrestling is that she is some sub-human demi-slut who home wrecks and destroys marriages. Now, while it is TRUE she ruined a couple relationships and marriages.. a couple of times. She did actually feel guilt in the process. You know. Like, deep down in the cockles of her heart. Sub-cockle area.

[Manami Kuroguchi]

1) Manami is Bi-sexual
Being a former pornstar, she has learned that both sexes can offer something exciting in the bedroom.

2) She values her privacy.
If she is walking through the airport, eating, reading, working out, or has her Ipod on do not bug her.

3) She has a weakness for karaoke.
Despite not having a good singing voice, if there is a karaoke machine nearby she is there making a fool out of herself but having tons of fun doing it.

4) She loves country-western music.
Her favorites being Johnny Cash and Hank Williams Jr.

5) She can play the violin
As a child her father forced her to learn to play because he did as well. She can also play the piano, and bass guitar.

6) She has a gay brother.
Her younger brother is gay, and she is one of the few members of her family who is supportive of him.

7) As a teenager, she had a crush on Screech from "Saved by the Bell"

8) She owns every Pokemon handheld game and has managed to catch them all.

9) She used to be a licensed masouse.

10) Before she got into porn, she considered herself to be ugly.

[Dante Cervantes]

1.) Dante uses sunscreen all year round.
- In order to interact with other people during the day without burning to a crisp, sunscreen comes in handy for a creature of the night.

2.) Dante keeps a good supply of blood 'donated' to him from the blood bank.
- By 'donated,' I mean, he 'borrows without asking.'

3.) Dante is a big fan of the theatre.
- Whether it be films or on stage, Dante loves to watch actors and actresses do their thing.

4.) Dante has a soft-spot for nature.
- He enjoys being outdoors and being around nature. He seems to have a Disney-esque attraction to animals.

5.) Continuing off of number 4, Dante's favorite animals are kittens and cats.
- For some reason, he likes felines in particular. Maybe it's because they're the kind of animals you have to earn their love and trust. They make you work harder than fickle canines.

6.) His love interest is Christina Valentine/Cervantes.
- This may be common knowledge as far as character background goes outside of the feds. But did you know Christina is the reincarnation of Dante's love interest back when he was still human? The More You Know... Da-da-da-da-da.... (That doesn't mean he can't find others outside of my own personal canon. ).

7.) Dante despises posers.
- He has a great distaste for any human beings pretending to be vampires. He has nothing against those who do it for fun when it is Halloween. But those hardcore goths who want to be vampires have no idea what it is like to be the immortal undead. It really gets quite lonely and those kinds of people really take their life for granted.

8.) Dante is a fan of classical and rock music.
- He enjoys bands such as KoRn, Disturbed, Linkin Park, and so on. This is even more evident by his previous job as being the lead singer of a band called "The Night." Performing vampire based music. He also enjoys the classics like Beethoven and Mozart.

9.) Dante is what we consider to be a 'good vampire.'
- He doesn't exactly like being a vampire, but there really is no changing that. He's not 'evil.' He doesn't actively pursue human beings as being his next meal. He tries his hardest to not sink his fangs into the jugulars of those he meets on a daily basis. In the wrestling business, those First Blood and Extreme matches can really be tempting for a monster like him.

10.) He always keeps an umbrella handy.
- As an extra protection the suns harmful rays, Dante keeps an umbrella by his side even when it is not raining. He can be seen outdoors using his umbrella to block the sun from beating down on him. He may get some weird looks by people walking by, but the man has to survive.

[Manami Kuroguchi]

Forgot to add, when she gets drunk all self control goes right out the window.

[Tha Nightmare 187]

Things You Didn't Know (Or Maybe You Do) About... Tha Infamous 187. I could probably list tons of little fun-facts about 187, but I'll just list of some important ones for right now.

1. 187 Currently Suffers From Dissociative Identity Disorder
- Otherwise known as Split Personalities. This is a recent development that might have always been there. There is currently 3 (or 4) sides to the man.
- There is Adrian Taylor, the real man that's hidden deep down inside.
- There is Murda, the dark, demented psycho who controls his more sinister thoughts and actions. Whenever I mention that 'dark shadow' or any references to Adrian's 'other self' in his inner monologue/actions, it will be references to this guy. He practically hates Adrian's lifestyle choices and lives by his own set of rules.
- There is Tha Infamous 187, who is a mixture of the two trying to duke it out for control in his head. This is the version of him that'll probably be most prevalent. It's why you get the contrasts of him being this super violent and hate-filled being who seems to have a soft and caring side. You'll see the boat get rocked one way or another depending on the situations.
- Or there's Mickey Knox, who's a false personality that was created as some kind of safety net that appeared in Atlanta. He is more so a personality that was developed through the experiences and people that Adrian has met or known being meshed together.

2. 187 is an Alcoholic.
- Probably nothing new to those who are more familiar with the character, but 187 is actually an alcoholic. Not like 'one too many drinks and he gets crazy' kind of alcoholic. He's more like a 'drink so much, he can barely carry himself home' kind of alcoholic. The sad kind. lol

3. 187 Currently Takes Anti-Depressants.
- Any 187 historian could probably tell you the path he's been on has not been a good one. Given his history, and what I've mentioned dozens of times throughout the course of my time RPing him, he has depression. He's only recently started taking anti-depressants to help, since his other options don't pan out too well for him in the end.

4. 187 Seeks Therapy.
- This is actually a new development in his character that I've started. 187 seeks professionaly help from a therapist to work out some of his inner demons. He currently is seeing a Dr. Isabel Knightly in New York right now. He doesn't tell her the full story about why he comes and see her. Can't really say he has homicidal urges to someone without getting weird looks and emergency phone calls. But he figures he needs to talk to someone about his problems. This could also be from a familiar or friendly face or whoever. It doesn't have to be an appointment with the doc.

5 187 Does Indeed Have a Soft Spot.
- Although, generally anti-social and constantly spitting out obscenities like a sailor, 187 does seem to care about people. This can be seen if he encounters someone mourning or dealing with a loss or personal issue. He can relate. He's been there. Many times. And 187 hates it when people get down on themselves. He'll give ya a little pep-talk to get that bounce back in your step and keep you moving forward.

6 187 is Connected.
- He may not have as many connections as his longtime business partner, Jayceon Williams, but 187 does have some connections to the underworld. He's well-known among criminals and gangs and the other assorted happy faces on the bad sides of town. Whether or not he's in good standing with these acquaintances remains to be seen. lol

7. 187 Has a Guardian Angel Somewhere Out There.
- Another common theme I've mentioned maybe once or twice, but 187 may have some kind of divine intervention spell put over him. lol He's survived death numerous times and always manages to escape with his life by a thread. I've mentioned it a few times. I'm not saying there is any truth to it or that 187 believes in that kind of stuff. But he's avoided some pretty ugly situations like Jules from Pulp Fiction. lol

8. 187 Isn't Really Religious
- Despite there being the possibility of some kind of intervention of a divine persuasion as mentioned above, 187 isn't really religious much. He just doesn't feel strongly one way or another. It might be because he's become disillusioned because of his bleak outlook on life or the tragedies he's endured that has caused him to be this way. But he's not really the church going type.

9. 187's Only Living Relative
- 187 has one living relative in his immediate family. This would be his sister Allison Taylor, who he has lost contact with after being 'Black Sheep'd' from the family for him criminal activity. His brother died from a stray bullet back in 187's pre-fame days during a shoot out with rival gang members. His mother has died from Cancer. And he has no clue who his father could be, but he considers that man dead to him for making 187 a bastard.

10. 187 Has a Fake Glass Eye
- One minor fact that I barely bring up, but has been mentioned in past RPs as far back as Toronto. 187's left eye is a fake. The scar underneath his eye is evidence as to why this eye has been damaged. It's no secret that 187 has somehow still got a pulse despite the multiple injuries he's suffered in the ring (and outside). His left eye is a fake due to a fight he had prior to entering the squared circle when he was hit in the face with a glass bottle. Some glass got in there and did some damage. Rather than wear an eyepath, 187 opted for a glass eye so he wouldn't have to explain to people. It looks more natural anyways.

I could probably list more, but these are some fun ones to know for now.

9) Even though he is an out going person, Kayn normally isn’t the conversation starter. This may explain why he doesn’t have many friends.

10) While he's known as "The Death Metal Goliath" for being a fan of death metal music, Kayn has a soft spot in his heart for polka music. It reminds him of the simpler times when he was a child spending time with his late Grammy Efferson.

[Romeo Davis]

Romeo Davis

• He is of Haitian and Jamaican decent. His father is from Haiti and his mother is from Jamaica.

• He has won various dance competitions around the United States.

• He is injury prone. He hasn’t gone an entire wrestling season without an injury yet.

• He is a big fan of 1800 Silver Tequila.

• He has never been in a serious relationship because he has never found that one girl.

• He often sings and is pretty good at it. He chooses not to sing in front of people other than his family though.

• When he was younger he used to play the violin and the piano but hasn’t touched either in about ten years.

• He is a pretty shy guy at some points but once you know him he will open up.

• He is a cook. The first thing he wanted to do when he was little was be a chef but sports got in the way of that. Though he never became a chef, he did spend a lot of time in the kitchen learning to cook from his mother and father.

• During the summer time he often likes to sit on the beach watching the sunset and reflect on life. He believes it calms him down and is very peaceful. Before he started going to the beach to do so, he used to go onto the roof of his house and watch the sun set into the horizon followed by stargazing.

[Kenji Katana]

1) Kenji used to co-run a gang called the American Dragons with Tato Uchiha, who does MMA under the name TatSuo Uchiha.

2) Kenji's cousin and brother were both killed due to 187's involvement

3) Kenji used to be an unknown millionaire, due to the compton drug trade.

["The HellCat" Hayley Jonas]

1) Hayley's taken a life.
She was only 17 when it happened, but after meeting with an older guy (20), she was nearly sexually assaulted. In self-defense she beat him with a loose brick and he died in the hospital. Because of her age and the fact it was self-defense, no charges were ever brought up.

2) Hayley likes chocolate.
It's known that she dates XXL, but even before then with the exceptions of the above stated "acquaintance" and another, she's had more of an attraction to black men. This might have a lot to do with her upbringing in the inner city and the foster system of Michigan.

3) Hellcat Ink
That's the name of her tattoo parlor in Detroit. She took a liking to tattoos years ago, and learned the craft by actually inking herself up. Her arms and the Old English "D" on her collarbone were done by her, little by little, in a mirror.

4) Exact tattoo count:
-Numerous on her arms (believed to be at least 50 different designs or more on each)
-The tribal ring around her torso
-The Old English "D" on her chest (symbolizing pride in her hometown of Detroit)
-A tribal design on the outside of her right calf (rarely seen because she often wears boots covering it)
-The letters "H-E-L-L" on her left hand knuckles from the pinky to the index finger, and "C-A-T" with two paws running opposite on the right (rarely seen because she wears gloves frequently)
-A tribal feline design over pubic area (rarely seen because she...wears clothes )

And she's not done. She claims to want to get a tiger tattooed to her back, but hasn't had the time to get it started.

5) Hayley's an artist.
Coinciding with her tattooing work, Hayley is also an avid artist and does lots of painting. She also paints on other places than canvas (see below)

6) Hayley Jonas: Graffiti Girl
Growing up in the streets and already taking a liking to art, Hayley did graffiti up until she began wrestling in 2005. If you're in Detroit and you see the tag "HAYZE" emblazoned on a wall or a roof, you know who it is.

7) Hayley knows the rule about "Fight Club"...
Because for years she was involved in them. As an organizer, a bettor and a fighter herself, she and her brother frequented many fight clubs through Detroit to make money.

8) Hayley Jonas: Model?
It's only something she's dabbled in, as she found out there was a market for hot, heavily tattooed girls, so she's done some pin-up model work here and there. Non-nude, so you won't see her on SuicideGirls.com anytime soon.

9) An unspoken one-night stand...
As mentioned above, Hayley's officially slept with only one white man, and it was Jon Payne. Albeit there were two other women involved as well. The event took place in Las Vegas toward the end of the League Of Xtraordinary Wrestling's existence, and involved those two, his then wife Caitlin and her then girlfriend Eliza (whom both were wrestlers as well). Nothing long term came of it of course, and the two remain tight lipped about it, not even mentioning it to each other.

10) Hayley's failed attempt at MMA
And it's not because she sucks. After training extensively with Payne the last year and a half and trying out, she was denied a contract by Strikeforce because she was "too rough". Guess they didn't want to see her bloodying up Gina Carano on national TV. That would kill their ratings. ;D

[Michael Embers]

Wonder how Kayn got his tattoos due to his fear of needles or what happened to the tattoo artist lol.

Eight misc facts about Michael Embers.

1.)He was given the nickname Heartbreaker by his friends because every relationship he's been in has failed and to date that's 8 failed relationships with 8 females who absolutely hate his guts cause he called it off with them.

2.)He wears a cowboy hat to the ring because even though he lives in Los Angeles he was borned and raised in Texas on a farm.

3.)He's a big fan of Zorro, which is why sometimes he'll wear the Zorro mask.

4.)He prefers to fight giants, freaks of nature, or just down right brutal people even though most could probably swat him away like a fly.

5.)He's not fearless when he calls out the biggest and baddest that he can. He's just too damn stubborn to admit he's in over his head.

6.)He's gotten in trouble with the law a couple times. Nothing major, usually trespassing while he works on his free running.

7.)Despite being considered a party animal, Embers has never been drunk. Not that he hasn't had alcohol, he just doesn't burn through it the way others do.

8.)Although he's reliable when he's obligated to do something, he often does things on a whim. If he feels like hanging a piece of paper on a wall, covering himself in paint and run into it, he will.

1) She has a degree in History and absolutely loves anything ancient Egyptian.
