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: The strong and silent type. He says little, and does what is best for business.
STRENGTHS:
Loyalty - He is indebted to the Pazzinis, and will do their bidding unwaveringly.
Fearless - He will back down from no man, woman or dragon. He will fight to the end, damn the consequences.
WEAKNESSES:
Babysitter - Vincenzo would probably fare better if he wasn’t babysitting these two buffoons.
Unassertive - He does what he’s told. Offers little in the way of original thoughts and ideas.
ALIGNMENT: Neutral
WHY THEY'D BE CHEERED: He’s a big tough handsome guy, and by far the least detestable of the three.
WHY THEY'D BE BOOED: Association with the idiotic chickenshits. Also, he's a mean motherfucker in the ring.
REASONS TO COMPETE:
- BLOODLUST/VIOLENCE: Your character gets a thrill from the violence. For them, winning and losing is secondary to being able to spill the blood of another human being.
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:
- Rarely
THEME SONG: 'Song L’italiano' – Toto Cutugno
WRESTLING EXPERIENCE: None as a wrestler. Fifteen years as a sworn bodyguard for Isabella Pazzini.
WRESTLING STYLE:
- THE HOSS: Relies on brute strength and size to dominate their opponent. They don't have much talent in terms of actual wrestling skill, but they can still hurt you.
- THE EXTREMIST: Relies on weaponry and their surroundings to abuse their opponents. Their primary objective, aside from victory, is to maim, bludgeon and incapacitate. Nothing is off-limits for this fighter.
MATCH TENDENCIES: Protect those he is sworn to protect. Destroy all before him. Be unwavering in his purpose.
BACKSTAGE TENDENCIES: Standing by silently while Ricky & Nico do their thing. Will step in instantly if anyone fucks with them.
FIGHT-ENDING STYLE:
- ULTRA-VIOLENCE: Focused around brutality, using weapons and their surroundings, leaving their opponent no choice but to concede defeat.
IN-RING STRENGTHS:
- Power - He’s a big bastard. He throws people around as big bastards are wont to do.
- Callous - His loyalty is to the Pazzinis. If you’re not Nico or Ricky, you’re dead fucking meat to him.
- Violent - Bodyguard work is often slow, if no-one’s hurting your charge. Now he can let the shackles off and really fuck people up.
IN-RING WEAKNESSES:
- He’s Not Really A Wrestler - He knows basic throws and slams, but he mainly is just a violent fighter. He’s not an accomplished grappler by any means.
- Blind Loyalty - Will always go out of his way to protect his partners, even to his own detriment, and potentially the detriment of the team.
- Agility - He’s a big bastard in his forties. He can’t keep up with these quick young whippersnappers.

BACKSTAGE APPEARANCES: Do you want segments and/or backstage interactions to be written FOR YOU or would you prefer to submit your own?
