Wrestler's Real Name: Shilo Mythias Valiant (billed as Shilo Valiant)
Pic Base: Graverobber from Repo! The Genetic Opera (old) / Shane West (present)
Height: 6'
Weight: 196 lbs
Birthdate: March 13, 1986
Birth Place: Vancouver, B.C, Ont
Current Residence: Toronto, Canada
Associates: Marina Trent - Soul-Mate, partner


Physical Description: Shilo has a lean frame but is not a bulky person. A little over six feet tall and just over 190lbs, he has medium length black hair. He has a long black dragon tattoo that begins on his right shoulder/pec and spirals down his right arm to end on the part of his hand where the thumb meets the index finger. Within the black dragon are bones that make up the skeletal frame of the dragon, showing an open skull with long fangs on Shilo's hand. On the other arm, stretching from the shoulder to the wrist is a black tattoo of a scorpion.

His wardrobe is usually black pants and wrestling boots, long sleeve shirts and black gloves covering his hands (basic street wear). His wrestling attire is a black and green leather-zipper vest with a hood (think Cody Rhodes) and black matching black pants and boots (entrance attire). When wrestling, he will wear a dark crimson shirt with the words “HA! HA!” decorated in yellow-green over the right side and leather black pants and boots. Also, black wrestling gloves. Shilo wears a half demon skull mask on the right side of his face for entrance/segments.

Note: Shilo will do live-promos/segments with the hooded-short coat (hooded or hood off) or long coat with no hood. Mask is optional.

WRESTLING INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------
Wrestling Style: Technical, Middle-weight, Aerial, and medium power
Alignment (Face/Tweener/Heel): Entertaining anti-hero
- Shilo has no true alignment. He is an entertainer in every sense of the word. And throughout his career, he has adapted his style, attitude, gimmick to whatever fulfills that end. He can be the heel or the face depending on the opponent, scenario, storyline, etc. His style reflects that to a degree. He can taunt, mock, and even do a few heel – like tendencies if the situation calls for. One thing Shilo will never do is cheat purposely. He feels the entertainment is tainted by going such a route. In other words, he’ll sure as hell bend the rules but rarely will he ever break them.

Years Pro: 11

Finishers (primary match enders):
- The Inside Joke
- The Broken Smile (favored primary)
- Laugh-Out-Loud (or the L.O.L) (favored submission finisher)
- The Last Laugh

Finishers Descriptions (If Needed):
- Cross-Rhodes
- Judas Effect (spinning elbow): Shilo strikes the jaw of the opponent. Can dislocate or break jaw (hence the name “Broken Smile”)
- Cobra Clutch submission. Shilo will laugh loudly as he applies this hold.
- Snapmare Driver

Signature Moves: The Morning Star, The Necromantic, The E-Factor (aka the Entertainment-Factor), The Roach Motel

Signature Moves Descriptions (If Needed):

The Morning Star: Cobra Clutch Slam

The Necromantic: The Tarantula (Tajiris rope lockup trademark)
 
E-Factor: Sliced Bread (Shilo grabs the head of the opponent, runs to rope/turnbuckle, flips over the head of opponent and slams opponent's head and body into mat- can also be done without ropes or turnbuckles: Visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngl0-ETQwCM to see variations of the move that Shilo can do)

The Roach Motel: Modified Sharpshooter (Edgecator)

Theme Song: The Man Who Laughs by Rob Zombie

Common Moves:
Snap suplex
Jumping swinging DDT
Dropkick
Running dropkick
Ten punch
Hurricanranna
Suicide Dive over the ropes to the outside
Split legged moonsault
Rolling Thunder


Strengths:
Shilo is light for a middle weight contender, making him fast and hard to catch in power moves. His life has also pushed him to be able to jump high and far.

Weaknesses:
Being of a smaller frame, Shilo's speed comes with a drawback. He does not favor extreme power moves, usually as he is unable to do them.

Entrance:

“MAKE ME LAUGH!”

The voice echoes as the main riffs of "The Man Who Laughs" by Rob Zombie is heard, a spotlight shining down on the ramp
 
From the back walks Shilo Valiant, walking straight into the single spot of light. He slowly locks his arms in the X pattern of "Necro" before thrusting his right hand up to the spotlight, looking up at the raised palm that faces him. As he does, a shower of red sparks rains down upon him, seemingly from the spotlight. He slowly lowers his arm, the colors of his attire and mask glowing among the red of the rain and white of the spotlights
 
The eternally smiling one slowly walks down the ramp, the spotlight following him. He walks around the ring and up the short stairs, climbing under the middle-rope to enter the ring. Standing within its center, the spotlight still cast on him, Shilo Valiant slowly raises his arm once more to the source, his spotlight, looking up at it as his fingers reach for it.

With a one last look at such an image, Shilo commanding the spotlight on him, the lights return to normal. Shilo removes his mask and coat, placing them in the corner.

OK guys, the tournament rules are simply the EMERGE rules bar one change, that being their will be no 750 word shoot segment. Segments for the show will be written by me.

The round of 32 will be purely who won with a short comment on how and the round of 16 will be written via summaries and this will take the guise of a pre-show similar to the last Invasion in Miami.

From the round of 8 to crowning the winner, the matches will be written in full

ALL members of the roster, including tag teams are currently signed up. If you really have a problem with anyone taking part, please PM me here and let me know. I assure you that no one will be buried in the summaries so there is no issue if you decide not to rp as that character.

ANYONE can take part in this tournament, similar to the GoW tournament, so if a character knew Ricky and wanted to compete, this would be his or her opportunity. Sign ups are open till October 31st 2019 and the show is will take place on the 9th of December 2019, the LIVE draw somewhere in between

If I dont get enough (32) then I will replace with jobbers and it will become the luck of the draw if you get one first round

Obviously, if you want to replace a character with someone else, thats fine as well and there is scope for tag team / jobbers be replaced if needed

Finally, if I've missed anyone, apologies and please let me know

If you want to sign up and other characters please reply in this thread...

Thinking about it a bit lately with my general contribution to everything and it does feels like i'm burning out some. Work has a lot to do with it, Deadlines being the same day as i have to work doesn't help me much either which I can't control as much as I want to. I'm not really the person to pre-plan an rp out fully, rarely i do that and 90% of the time I've written it the day of deadline because of procrastination. 

So after dwelling on things and sitting here like a lemon, here's what i'm going to do. 

1. I want to apologise to all I've let down over the weeks and or months, namely Omar he busts his ass with all his characters and i'm here half assing everything. 

2. I'm dropping Goddard and EyeYoshi officially from here on out after Apoc. They aren't serving a purpose for SCW other than being a body to feed to someone so if olek wants to keep them around, so be it but i won't be writing anything. 

3. and lastly After Apocalypse I want to take a much needed break from SCW overall. i'll give my all for my match with Evans and for BD tomorrow but after that i'd like to not be booked because i'll probably be spent.

Instead I want to just be focusing on the GoW tournament with Lucas & Eli as its something I wanted to write when the thing was mentioned. Once they get eliminated, i'll look into going fully active again with SCW and see what shit i can get back into. 


LOA Begins: 23rd September 2019
LOA Ends: TBD

OK guys, this is it. The end of several storylines, and the beginning of others to get us to the end of the year

Thanks as always to everyone and finally

Enjoy

Invasion: Miami
