Hometown: Dover, Delaware
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 212 lbs
Birth Year: 1980

Appearance: Nuit's got buzzcut brown hair and an athletic body frame; clean-shaven; looks a little older than his true age.

Ring Attire: Black and red boxer shorts-type of gear with black and red boots and shin guards. Sometimes will wear a T-shirt to the ring as well.

Alignment (Face/Heel/Tweener): Face

Theme Music: "I Hate" by A Breed Apart

Ring Entrance (only good if he's wrestled in the fed before and has established himself...): 
["I Hate" by A Breed Apart plays over the PA as "Statewide Sensation" Marcus Nuit comes out the entrance to a large pop from the audience. Nuit walks down to the ring, wide grin on his face and confidence ever growing, wearing his normal attire of his black & red trunks, boots, and shin guards. Once on the apron, Nuit slingshots himself into the ring and raising his arms as he lands to a crowd pop.]


Advantages:
1. Mobilty, Agility, and Balance - Nuit could walk a tightrope, spin around on it, swing up and over and back again on two feet with ease... Ok, maybe a bit of an embellishment, but gets the point across.

2. Speed - Very quick with his feet... 'Bout all I can say about that.

3. Ring awareness - For someone having served only a couple of years in the wrestling business, Nuit's know-how in the ring is unparalled to anyone else in the indepedent scene.

4. Unorthodox style - Well, maybe to some it's unorthodox. Lots of shifting around, quick hits, quick lifts, and awkward yet effective combos of his moves. Can come at you from all angles.

Disadvantages:
1. Technical skills - While his awareness is great, his ability to focus in on an opponent's strengths & weaknesses and play off them isn't so great. That and his move selection doesn't lend itself to pin-point attacks.

2. Risk taker - He'll go for the gold, even if there's a large chance he'll wipeout in the process. 

3. Pride - Can get lost in himself when on a roll

4. Strength - Against other guys his size or a little larger, he can hold his own. But when facing some of the biggun's in the sport, his moveset gets slashed in half as his power-moves are neutralized.

Wrestling Style: Kind of an all-around junior, minus the technical skills

Other/Notes: Nuit can do the praying rope walk, ala Jinsei Shinzaki, and do some simple moves off of the top rope - but nothing more than like a lariat or fist drop. He hasn't mastered it yet to do stuff like frankstieners or lege lariats. However, he can use the top rope well as a springboard to the outside or inside...

Signature Moves:
1. One Man Two - Opponent leans on the rope, Nuit rebounds on the opposite and runs up the opponent with a hagakure [double flash knee strike to the face] and then over the opponent [as he reels from the knee-to-temple blow], catching him with a psuedo-neckbreaker/snap. Usually results in Nuit wiping out with a hard tumble to the floor outside.
2. Spinning Leg Lariat
3. STO
4. Rounding Body Press
5. Falcon Arrow

Set-up Move: 51st Drop - Millenium Suplex
Finisher: Statewidesault - Twisting Somersault Senton

Background (As much of his history as you can write):
Marcus Nuit grew up in Dover, Deleware and was always an athletic person, even when young - excelled in little league, peewee football, and youth basketball. When he knew he was good, he also knew how to brag about it and hype himself up. So he became a bit less liked on the teams as his bravado grew and his snobbery of the other teammates continued to get out of hand. It grew so much that the coaches kicked him off the teams, telling his parents that he wasn't a team player and, even though he was very good, was a detriment to the teams.

Well, after that, Nuit became sort of blackballed from youth sports and, as he grew older, high school team sports as well. But they didn't capture his interest anymore. As a teen, he started watching wrestling and liked what he saw. IIWF, SCRA, EWA, and MLWO; and then later EMWC, UWF, GLCW, UEW, WWO, IWWC, G-Pro, SJPW. He especially liked the junior-weights and their rapid fire action in the feds. As well, he knew that he'd peaked in his growth by the time he hit 19 at a little over six foot, so he was small by athletic standards.

He grew up immortalizing Hakiro Matsuoko, Icehawk, Takezo Musashi, Alex Kidd, Billy Shakespeare, Juvenil Infierno, Youth Gone Wild, and later TORA Wanizame, Kashan Akuma, Macht Kraftwerk, and Steve Spector. He especially admired Spector for not letting his size get in the way of his ability. The way he saw him take control of a match and later how guys like Juan Vasquez, Luke Kinsey, and Devon Case could wrestle - or out-wrestle - bigger "power" guys made him all the more want to get in the ring himself.

So he entered himself in some backyard federations, making sure to stay away from the extreme deathmatch crap that the others put themselves in. Instead, he wrestled quick paced, big move-dominated matches. After two years of these backyard federations of practicing moves and perfecting his routine, Nuit finally entered a true federation, though a small-time federation in Deleware - DWF [Deleware Wrestling Federation]. There, he instantly became a fan favorite with his style and moves, even if he was as full of himself as he was when younger. He ticked off his share of older vets who expected respect in the ring, but only got showboating and backtalking from Nuit. He figured since he had the fans behind him, he had carte blanche to do whatever he wanted.

As he continued wrestling, he watched some other federations for ideas and found some Japanese wrestling and Lucha Libra tapes that he took to quickly. Nuit immediately practiced the moves he saw in those matches and tried his best to emulate them in the ring himself. While he had his share of mistakes while doing this in self-made simulated matches, after a couple months he got them down and started peppering them into his matches. The fans immediately took to the new offense, seeing the ability Nuit showed and soon found himself holding onto the DWL State Championship, its highest title. In the fed's ten year history, Nuit at 22 was the youngest wrestler to ever hold the title and one of its lightest at 201 pounds.

Nuit kept onto the title even as he started getting other offers, mainly from the wrestling-rich state of Pennsylvania. He took matches in Philly area feds and got the same reaction from the fans there as he got in Deleware. And just like before, he was able to chop through the bigger competition and take away the feds' top honors - all in toll three top-of-the-line titles at once. After that, he wrestled in a couple more feds [CFF, PSJW, and others] to the same success.

Nuit then started taking more committments - in Maryland and Western PA - and came away with the same results. All the success has gone to his head and that hasn't been a plus to himself. In addition to having some lapses as he self-congratulates himself, he finds he gets the ire of more experienced wrestlers and tends find himself isolated from them most of the time. He's brash, young, and to this point successful, so there's much that others who've been in the business for a longer amount of time to hate about Nuit.

But having "conquered" Deleware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, Nuit's heading west to take on new challenges in new places and hopefully continue his streak of success as he grows. Ultimately, Nuit's dream is to wrestle in Japan and then the make the big time there and in North America. Hopefully, he can go from "Statewide Sensation" to "National" and then "International". 

But Nuit needs more ring time and needs to taste some defeat and get his ego in check before any of those dreams can be accomplished.
