WHAT BRINGS YOU TO UPRISING?
Following some toxic remarks about Ricky & Nico’s lack of wrestling ability to her sister by Ricky’s girlfriend Camilla (behind their back of course) the two jumped up little shits were determined to show her. They got Isabella’s blessing... on the condition that her trained bodyguard Vincenzo Riina go with them to keep them safe from all the crazy fucks and dragons roaming around. As for why UPRISING? It’s the hottest shit on Splat right now, and besides, where better than Nevada for a bunch of rat bastards?
PERSONALITY OVERVIEW: Ricky Rhodes is the type who never had to think about other people. He was born to money and makes no qualms about throwing that capital around. There is not a problem Mr. Rhodes does not think he couldn't buy himself out of. Every issue can be solved with the right price and whatever happens if it goes wrong it's someone else's fault. If things go right all praise goes to him. Of course in UPRISING he probably won't be getting away with all the things he has up to this point, which means he will try to weasel his way out of those situations explanations and excuses are something he has about as much of an excess as his finances..
STRENGTHS:
Cerebral - Can think long-term, and use his intelligence to influence and fuck with other people. He’s a manipulative bastard.
Fleet - Ricky is quick as a hiccup, and more than capable of absconding before someone decks him real hard.
Bullshit Artist - He can lie his way out of any situation he can’t buy his way out of. Missed his life calling as a used car salesman.
WEAKNESSES:
Cowardly - In the words of Edmund Blackadder, “When the going gets tough, the tough hide under the table”. Or ring, more likely.
Insecure - Although he doesn’t show it, he takes slights and putdowns really badly. He likes to be the big man, and really hates being made to feel like a little nugget.
Cocky - Ricky talks a great game, but the trouble is, he has a tendency for his mouth to write checks that his ass can’t cash.
ALIGNMENT: Neutral Evil
WHY THEY'D BE CHEERED: Some people just wanna watch the world burn. I mean... he’s kind of an underdog. And some people really get off on those athletic small hairy dudes.
WHY THEY'D BE BOOED: He’s a snivelling, weaselly, shit-talking, bullshit-spewing, cheating, cowardly rat bastard motherfucker who thinks he is better than YOU.
REASONS TO COMPETE:
- GLORY: Your character is all about winning and cannot stand to lose. It sends them into a rage. They have to be the very best and they'll stop at nothing – for better or worse – to achieve that.
- MONEY IN THE BANK: Your character wants to be rich beyond their wildest dreams and sees wrestling (coupled with endorsements and celebrity status) as a means to achieve that.
ATTITUDE TOWARDS TEAMWORK:
- INNER CIRCLE: Your character will team with a select few ONLY. Outside of that small circle, they'd be considered anti-social, but within their group, they're fiercely loyal.
TENDENCY TO CHEAT:
- Always
THEME SONG: 'Dojo' – Wack Ass Egyptians
WRESTLING EXPERIENCE: 5 years, thought most of it as a promoter.
WRESTLING STYLE:
- THE SPORTS ENTERTAINER: Relies on their charisma and showmanship to mask their limited wrestling ability. They can fight, but not to the level of some of their more skilled peers.
MATCH TENDENCIES: Cowardly chickenshit. There’s no low he won’t stoop to, no line he won’t cross. Just avoid getting your ass kicked at all costs. Will happily take DQ or count out losses if it saves him from a vicious beating.
BACKSTAGE TENDENCIES: Bragadocious twat, telling anyone who will listen how great he is. Which will be a day one stagehand if he’s lucky.
FIGHT-ENDING STYLE:
- CEREBRAL: Overcomes the opposition through intelligence, ingenuity and superior ring psychology.
IN-RING STRENGTHS:
- Resourceful - If there’s an edge to be gained, an opportunity to be grasped, a shortcut to be taken, you can bet your bottom dollar Ricky Rhodes is ON THAT SHIT.
- Speed - Ricky can move really quick. This can help him attack opponents, but more frequently helps him get away from them.
- Resilient - While he does his best to avoid a beating, he hates it but turns out he can absorb punishment like a damn sponge.
- Cornered Rat - When things get desperate, Ricky has an uncanny habit of pulling something miraculous out of his ass. You know what they say about cornered rats...
IN-RING WEAKNESSES:
- Standing Alone - Ricky has always relied on others, and doesn’t take being left to fend for himself very well.
- Chickenshit - Will avoid serious conflict and pain at all costs.
- Mat Wrestling - Not really the most proficient grappler.
- Ego - If shit’s going a little too well, he might get cocky and complacent. Which can bite him squarely on his narrow ass.
