WHAT BRINGS YOU TO UPRISING? Ethan has come to Uprising after becoming Talia Skye's most recent play thing. The veteran scouted several talents before finding Ethan and being impressed by his explosive power, strength, and agility. He is the brawn to her brains.
He is also in Uprising as a means of hoping to convince his family that his dream of being a professional wrestler is in fact a "worthy goal" and that the sport he loves is a "real career". Ethan was always a major fan of wrestling as a kid, mainly watching it at his friends' houses. He wanted to go into the business, but his family always shut down the idea as they didn't feel it was a valid life path. The compromise was letting him join the amateur wrestling team in high school as his father believed that was at least a "real sport". Once in college and out of the control of his parents Ethan pursued pro wrestling and has been determined to prove his family wrong.
PERSONALITY OVERVIEW: Ethan is a bit naive, well intentioned, and chummy. Big himbo energy. He constantly wants to prove himself and impress the people he looks up to and shut down his doubters. Around Talia especially, he is a bit of a puppy dog. Following her around, loving affection.
STRENGTHS: He is initially intimidating which is both a strength and a weakness depending on his intent. When past that initial wall though he is a bit of a dopey golden retriever of a man.
WEAKNESSES: His initial intimidating energy can be a barrier for interaction. He also is not the smartest or wisest.
WHY THEY'D BE CHEERED: His athleticism is impressive, the fans also may love his himbo vibes. His association with the Aces may give mixed responses.
WHY THEY'D BE BOOED: His association with the Aces may give mixed responses. Particularly his willingness to help Talia decimate opponents and inflict attacks and injuries at her behest.
ATTIRE: Black boxer brief style trunks with a gold band and gold line art of the globe on the back, with ATLAS over it. Black knee pads, a black elbow pads with the same globe outline on his right arm (his dominant arm), black and gold athletic shoes.
For his entrance he also wears a black and gold varsity jacket with his Atlas/globe logo on the back.
THEME SONG: Born Ready - Zayde Wolf
Entrance: "Born Ready" by Zayde Wolf blasts through the arena and gold lights flood the stage. As the song's lyrics kick in Ethan Atlas marches onto the stage flanked by the Ace of Spades Talia Skye. He hypes himself up a bit on stage as Talia watches on with pride. She gives Ethan some words of encouragement before ordering him to head to the ring.
Atlas and Skye strut down to the ring, the whole way Talia coaching Ethan for the upcoming match. Talia walks to the ring steps and ascends as Atlas leaps onto the apron. He holds the ropes for Talia before jumping over the ropes and joining her in the ring. He stands in the centre and kneels down with one first on the ground. Talia stands beside him as he rises up, arms high as if lifting the world high above his head, prompting boos from the crowd.
