Entrance:
The lights in the arena suddenly go out. Over the buzzing crowd there’s the low hum of a guitar, slowly building louder. The voice of Bianca Evans is heard.


Bianca: “Ladies and gentlemen…”


The crowd boos at the sound of her voice.


Bianca: “And those who identify as giraffes…are you ready for this show to suck a whole lot less?!”


“Black Sheep” by The Clash at Demonhead suddenly kicks in, the bass thumping loudly throughout the arena. The bottom of the stage is softly lit up and strobe lights flash around to reveal just the silhouette of a man in the middle of the stage with his back turned to the ring while the music continues to build.


“Oh yeah?”


He throws one arm out.


“Oh yeah?!”


He throws his other arm out.


“OH YEAH!”


He flexes both arms before spinning around, but the lights and music build both cut out before he reveals himself to the crowd. The bass continues to thump.


"Hello again,
friend of a friend, 
I knew you when"


With each strike of the guitar, the stage briefly lights up, giving us glimpses of the man facing the crowd.


“Our common goal, 
was waiting for, 
the world to end”


Again, the stage lights up in rhythm with the guitar. The man strikes various poses, still obscuring his face.


“Now that the truth, 
is just a rule, 
that you can bend”


Each flicker of the lights reveal a woman walking towards the man on stage.


“You crack the whip, 
shape-shift and trick, 
the past again,
I’ll send you my love...”


The arena is fully lit up as the chorus of the song hits and we see both Cornelius Locke Issac Thomas and Bianca Evans standing in the middle of the stage. Cornelius rips open the leather jacket he’s clad in to reveal his toned abs with an arrogant smirk on his face. With great confidence, he starts to make his way down the ramp, Bianca following along with a look of annoyance as she looks out into the crowd.


Phillips: “Making his way to the ring and accompanied by Bianca Evans, hailing from An Alternate Reality Where You Don’t Suck, he is Cornelius Locke Issac Thomas!”


Cornelius stops at the steel steps and looks at the nearby fans with a look of contempt as they continue to boo him. He slowly takes off his leather jacket and hands it to Bianca without even looking at her. Bianca takes it but just drops it to the floor and walks away while Cornelius makes his way up the steps, unaware of Bianca. He steps onto the apron and through the ropes before leaning back against the ropes, testing their elasticity. He walks along the ropes to get to the corner, leaning his back against the turnbuckle as his music begins to fade.



Biography:The Second Student of Ethan Von Aaron. Brought to SCW by Von Aarons Sister Bianca as his manager. Accompanied by the first student Dirty Dawg. Cornelius is a prodigy of the meltzer seven star classic wrestling. He is known to make wrestling youtubers/writers have massive cases of premature ejaculation from watching his matches.

While I've been thinking about the future of my characters I've come to ask myself a simple question: in today's age, is there such a thing as a "good guy" and a "bad guy" anymore? Does "heel" and "face" really apply in today's world?

Let's look at an example: Eddie Guerrero's WWE Title Run

How would you describe that version of Eddie Guerrero? He lied to people all the time, including referees. He'd do whatever it took to win, including hitting opponents with concealed weapons, or outright smashing them with foreign objects. He'd even trick people into getting disqualified or caught by the referee "red handed" with an object they didn't even use. This is the behavior of a heel. However, he did it all in a comedic way, and he focused all his antics against people that the crowd hated. Therefore, in spite of the fact that he was a terrible cheat, he was actually a babyface...

Let's look at another example: Triple H during the reign of terror

For the most part, Triple H was an honorable guy. I know there are exceptions when there was outside interference, but for the most part Triple H lived by a moral code. He'd beat people in the middle of the ring using underhanded tactics, but every match wouldn't devolve into outside interference spots galore in order for him to win. He also wouldn't run away from every fight. He didn't have ALL the characteristics of a typical heel, but he was most definitely a heel. The sledgehammer shots also didn't help with that. Contrast that to, say, Kenny Omega today, and Kenny constantly has Don and the Good Brothers interfering whenever he's slightly in trouble. I would argue he's more of a heel today than Triple H was in the reign of terror... in spite of the fact that we all like Kenny Omega and hated Triple H.

Now they're two examples I pulled out because everyone remembers them and knows them. They're not necessarily the BEST examples I could have chosen to demonstrate this point.

Therefore, I don't think saying "heel" really works anymore. And I've NEVER liked people who say they're "neutral", because to me neutral has always just meant "not over". If you're "neutral" then there's an argument to be made that that means nobody cares enough about you to consider you good or bad, and you'd struggle to get bookings if nobody gave a fuck about you.

What's the solution?

Well, it's funny you should ask: The Dungeons & Dragons alignments give a perfect answer to this problem. Now you don't need to be "face", you could be "Lawful Good". You don't need to be "heel", you could be "Chaotic Evil". You could also be "Neutral Evil" or "Lawful Evil" as well, giving a far wider range of possibilities for your character than just "heel".

For those of you unaware, let's run through the options double quick:

Good:
A common misconception of "Good" on the D&D scale is that good doesn't mean "ultimate babyface, loves the red, white and blue". Good, rather, means "pro-social". A good person is someone who'll actively strive toward altruism, benevolence etc. They are the people who'll help a stranger up on the street rather than just walk past them, or help someone in need because that person is in need.

Evil:
A common misconception of "Evil" on the D&D scale is that evil doesn't mean "Foreigner who hates America". Rather, bad means "anti-social". This does NOT mean walking past someone on the street who needs your help, however. It means actively working against that person on the street. It means someone who endorses torture. Someone who seeks vengeance above all else (rather than acting in self-defense). Someone who actively works against good people.

Neutral:
So then, what's neutral? Well, neutral is someone who'll trend toward good, but not go the extra mile. The fact is MOST babyfaces in the world of professional wrestling are neutral. They prefer the side of good, but they won't actively fight for good. Rather, they're more concerned with themselves and their own ambitions.

Then there's the other half of this equation...

Lawful:
Another misconception is that "Lawful" means "obeys the law". This is not true. Lawful means obeying a set of rules/laws that apply to that individual. If you're lawful then you have a moral code - that moral code doesn't necessarily have to mesh with society's moral code, however. 

Chaotic:
This one is harder to define, because this does not mean "breaking the law". This means having no set of laws that you obey, which can also extend to actively working against someone else's set of laws. Chaotic characters would "lie", "cheat" and "steal" with a clear conscience because it's how they believe they should live their lives.

Neutral:
Here we have that goddamn neutral again. In this example, a neutral person would not care about either extreme condition. Someone who is out for themselves and neither has a moral compass nor is actively against having one. If the only power you believe in is your own, you could well be neutral.

When you combine these, you get nine possibilities of characters that I think are WAY more interesting than the stand "heel" and "face" roles. Let's work through some examples...

Lawful Good:
A Lawful Good character is someone who believes in a set of rules (whether self-imposed or imposed upon them by a higher power or society) and who goes out of their way to be a good person. This does not mean a boring individual who's always obeying the law. It could mean someone like Daniel Bryan, fighting for what's right inside the system. But it could also mean trying to tear down an evil system to replace it with a Lawful Good one. In professional wrestling, a Lawful Good person would be a babyface who comes to the aid of those in need, rather than pursuing their own agenda.

Neutral Good:
A Neutral Good position is actually far more complicated than it appears, and I would argue MOST people are Neutral Good. This could mean promoting your own agenda and working to find others who'll do the same thing, as long as that agenda is about helping others and being a good person. In professional wrestling, a Neutral Good person would be a babyface who puts in the work, but doesn't necessarily believe in the system they're working inside of. They're people who'll trend toward helping others whenever appropriate, but who won't necessarily rush to the aid of the owners plans.

Chaotic Good:
This is the one everyone thinks they want to be, but in actuality I disagree. They are people who'll fight for good no matter what the system around them is telling them. They are freedom fighters (who could easily be seen by others as terrorists). They are people who want the same for everyone, so much that they may support the ideals of communism. In professional wrestling, this is NOT Eddie Guerrero, because Eddie was not actively seeking good but rather actively seeking his own gains. This would be a person who fights against evil and fights for good, but does so in a way that could be considered bad. In professional wrestling this group could easily be heel as they could be babyface, because they don't believe in the laws that govern them and work against those laws.

Lawful Neutral:
This is possibly the most interesting group of people. These are people who believe in the law, but don't necessarily believe in being Good. They'll trend toward Good, but never actually be Good. An honest politician would be Lawful Neutral, in that they believe in the Law but they also believe that they are the way to go about achieving that. In theory, every Judge in the world should be Lawful Neutral, applying the law without considering the person who's in front of them. Is there an example of this type of person in professional wrestling? I suppose an authority figure who cares more about enforcing the rules than they do care about who they're enforcing them on.

True Neutral:
If you don't really care about the laws, but obey them because it's not worth breaking them, then you may be True Neutral. If you're willing to break the laws to get what you want, but still consider yourself a good person, you're probably also True Neutral. This applies to way too many people in professional wrestling. Those out for themselves and not caring how they go about getting what they want.

Chaotic Neutral:
These are people who embrace the Chaotic side, but also the Neutral side. They are good people who's actions don't always fit inside the law. They are people who value their own freedoms above anything that which society would tell them is the right thing to do. In professional wrestling, they are neither heel nor babyface. They are also more than likely the group that'll never "get over", because they don't particularly fight for Good or Evil, but rather just do their own thing outside of "The System".

Lawful Evil:
To be Lawful and Evil would mean seeking power for the sake of power. Seeking power to laud it over others. Seeking power but not caring what horrible things you've got to do to get it, nor caring about who you hurt along the way. In professional wrestling, someone who wants to win the World Heavyweight Championship and who'll willingly cripple others to get it is most likely Lawful Evil, because they believe in the system and want to reach the top of it no matter what.

Neutral Evil:
These are people who put their own concerns above anyone else. They are people who care more about making money than obeying the law, and definitely don't care about helping others (unless it somehow furthers their own agenda). They don't care about the system or the people in it, they care about themselves and what they want. In professional wrestling, Neutral Evil people would not care about winning the World Championship so much as they would care about making money or doing what they want to do. They would actively fight against Good people, but not care if that person is for or against "The System", and have no moral code to speak of.

Chaotic Evil:
Chaotic Evil people, at it's extremes, are serial killers. They are people who are evil for the fun of being evil. At lesser extremes, they might be nice to their friends but they'll screw over and/or kill people they don't like just for looking at them funny. They are the people who do whatever they want without caring who it affects, even if what they want to do is absolutely wrong. They are also people who'll tear down "The System" in the worst possible ways. In professional wrestling, "The Fiend" would either fit into this category or the previous one. In professional wrestling, these people don't care about championships or money. They care about evil for the sake of evil, and because it's fun.





Disagree with any of the above? Let me know.




I'm not saying we should use this system to define our alignments... but I do think it opens up fun possibilities. Where would you put YOUR character(s) on that list? Has it made you rethink what is heel and what is babyface in today's world? More than that, has it made you think about this in the way I currently am... in the sense that could Lawful Good and Lawful Evil people get along? Would a Lawful Good and Chaotic Good person be friends or enemies?
