BIRTH NAME: Hayley Claire Drake
PLACE OF BIRTH: Leeds, England
AGE: 30
FACE CLAIM: Blair Davenport (current)
RING NAME: Hayley Dark
NICKNAME(S): The Protector
BILLED FROM: Leeds, England
HEIGHT: 5'02"
WEIGHT: 118 lbs
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO UPRISING?
Pushing the agenda. Dark has brought together a group of misfits and also-rans, people with their backs against the wall and society breathing down their necks. They look to persuade the underbelly of society to take up their cause, and overthrow the established status-quo from underneath. With UPRISING’s trios division needing a kick up the backside, Jackson brought in Dark; an established tag and singles wrestler in her own right, and her disciples to inject some life (and possibly some poison) into the fledgling division.
PERSONALITY OVERVIEW: Forever the butt of everyone’s jokes, and compared unfavourably to her peers... Hayley Dark suffered from her early days in the wrestling business, her friends turning against her, a plain girl in a sport full of beauties. Over time, this gradually caused her to snap, and now she considers herself a mother and protector of those whom society has wronged. She is often calm, caring and friendly, but has tendencies to fly off the handle, particularly if anyone slights her or those close to her. Has a vicious dislike for those beloved by the fans, and will call out any kind of privilege she sees. Rumours abound that her role as the leader of the Belonging is a crazed power trip, but there is no significant evidence to substantiate this claim...
STRENGTHS:
Resolve - When you are beaten down and belittled for years, you kinda learn how to take a few lumps. Dark is an expert at riding the waves when they get too fierce.
Spin Doctor - Hayley Dark will always look to spin the narrative to suit her own agenda. A big studier of the art of propaganda, Dark always knows the right thing to say to sway public perception in her favour.
The Hook - All Dark’s disciples are loyal to her. This is because she has a hook on each of them. Dark will use anything at her disposal to gain such hooks on people she feels can be useful to her.
WEAKNESSES:
Napoleon Complex - Dark tends to anger quickly if people make fun of her size or her looks.
A Mother’s Love - Dark cares deeply for those who follow her. Anyone under her wing who is hurt or put in a compromising position will cause her to fly off the handle, and she may even concede on behalf of the Belonging to protect her own if the situation is dire enough.
I Am Serious - Dark, above all else, likes to be taken seriously. Anyone who tries to mock her, or turn her into a joke will really, REALLY upset her.
ALIGNMENT: Lawful Evil
WHY THEY'D BE CHEERED: Dark’s agenda is that of caring for, and protecting those beaten down by society. Considering many wrestling fans likely fall into this category, it is perfectly plausible that the Belonging could pick up a cult following amongst fans.
WHY THEY'D BE BOOED: Many people are smart enough to see through Dark’s agenda, for one thing. On top of that, her quick temper and the savage beatdowns she can incite her group to dish out are more than capable of turning people against her quickly.
REASONS TO COMPETE:

- PASSION: All your character has ever wanted to do is wrestle. It's in their blood; their DNA. They eat, breathe and live this sport and for them it's a way of life.
ATTITUDE TOWARDS TEAMWORK:
(Please select ONE and delete the rest)
- 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.

- Rarely
THEME SONG: 'Past In Flames' – Greg Dombrowski
VALET/MANAGER: Chance Gamble
VALET/MANAGER FACE CLAIM: Mike Bennett
VALET/MANAGER PURPOSE: Chance is Hayley’s second in command, and as a result stays at ringside rather than fights in the ring, where he can remain protected. He is impulsive, and may try to interject himself if the situation looks bad, though such actions are not officially condoned or encouraged by Dark.
WRESTLING EXPERIENCE: 12 YEARS
WRESTLING STYLE:
(Please delete ALL that DO NOT apply to your character)
- THE AERIALIST: Relies on speed and aerial prowess to overwhelm their foes. What they lack in size and brute strength, they make up for in agility and accuracy.
- THE STRONG STYLIST: Relies on hard-hitting (often stiff) moves and sharp strikes. Whether it's punches, chops, kicks, throws or submission holds, this fighter wants to hit hard, hit fast and hurt their foes.
MATCH TENDENCIES: Stick and move. Hit before they hit you. A whirlwind attack, blowing and blustering until someone stays down.
BACKSTAGE TENDENCIES: Hayley will usually be flanked by her followers, but from there, anything is possible. She may try and bring passing staff and wrestlers into her ideals. She may condemn those whom she deems sick and opressive. Dark is unpredictable, but also measured in said unpredictability. She knows what she wants. Does not mean it is easy for others to figure out.
FIGHT-ENDING STYLE:
(Please delete ALL that DO NOT apply)
- CEREBRAL: Overcomes the opposition through intelligence, ingenuity and superior ring psychology.
- SUPERIOR STAMINA: Uses their superb conditioning to wait for the opponent to tire, before ending the fight on their terms.
IN-RING STRENGTHS:
Speed - Dark made her name as an aerial assassin, and even past the age of thirty, she is quick as a hiccup. Agile too, as her free-running based training regimen leads her to use superior movement and conditioning to leave opponents in the dust.
Intelligence - Dark is a veteran, and for all her dazzling speed, she can also think quickly on the fly. In free-running, it is imperative to correct oneself when things go wrong, and Dark is highly adaptable; more than capable of baiting larger opponents and bailing out of trouble when things go against her.
The Following - Wherever Hayley goes, her followers lurk in the background. While Dark herself does not tend to break the rules in matches directly, her group can always strike from the shadows.
IN-RING WEAKNESSES:
Size - While her persona may be larger than life, Dark herself is not. Even by female standards, she is quite small. She is more than capable of being caught by a larger opponent and flung around like a rag doll.
Mat Wrestling - Dark is a speed demon, but can be slowed quickly by a good ground game. She doesn’t have the power or technical prowess to fight effectively off the ground.
Power - Dark will hit quickly, and often. However, due to her small frame, each strike, outside of her big match moves, will likely not be a significant damage dealer. She wears you down with a flurry, but is largely incapable of hitting a big shot out of nowhere, or winning any kind of power contest.
