Wrestler's Name: Rembrandt
Height: 6'3
Weight: 240
Orientation: Heel
Manager/Valet (Optional): None
Hometown and origin country of character: Kyoto, Japan

Appearance and ring attire [please be descriptive]: To start, Rembrandt is
half-European (he doesn't know who his father is, and will not discuss it)
and half Japanese.  He's not especially big, but keeps himself in tremendous
shape.  He's got black hair, fairly long, which he always wears tied back.
Pale blue eyes, almond skin, and no visible markings round out the physical
traits.

Outside of the ring, Rembrandt always looks his best- appearing always in a
suit or a tuxedo.  You'll never see him in anything else.  In the ring, he
wears a pair of loose-fitting black cotton pants, black boots, and blue/gold
shin guards.

Wrestler's personality: Perpetually angry, as a
result of his treatment in KCW.  He is very intelligent and very strong
willed.  Furthermore, he's incredibly full of himself, so his treatment in
KCW served to convince him that he was above professional wrestling, period.
Consequently, once the bell sounds, he's frighteningly violent - capable of
crossing lines that most people wouldn't dare approach.

Entrance:

# WHEN YOU'RE RIPE, YOU'LL BLEED OUT OF CONTROL, YOU'LL BLEED OUT OF
CONTROL! #

["Elite" by the Deftones kicks in over the PA system, and the crowd
immediately reacts - some of them cheering, others booing.  The man known
simply as Rembrandt steps through the entranceway and walks down to the
ring, not bothering to acknowledge the reaction of the crowd, much less
their existence.  Dressed in a pair of simple loose black cotton pants,
black boots, black gloves, and blue and gold shinpads, Rembrandt is focused
solely on the ring. Rembrandt quickly approaches the ringside area, ascends
the ringsteps, and enters the ring - shouting an instruction or two at the
official, shakes his head, and moves into his corner to complete his
prematch warmups.]

Strengths:

Style.  His lack of a specific finishing move makes him that much harder to
fight, because his opponents do not have one single move to focus on & to
learn how to block.  He used to throw a Fisherman's buster as his finisher,
but in his down time [he's been out of action due to a suspension in KCW for
some time], he learned enough of his offense that he's capable of winning a
match with any move, if he hits it properly.

Explosive.  Physically, Rembrandt may not seem like much- like he's the
kind of guy who talks a lot of shit, and isn't able to back it up. Rembrandt
has the ability to muster up sudden, intense flurries of offense
(combinations of strikes, mostly) that can stun, and in many cases, take
down any opponent.

Straight to the point.  Rembrandt isn't someone who looks for a big
finish to his matches, he isn't out there to wow & amaze the fans... He'll
almost always be looking for a quick win, unless it's an extreme situation.
He isn't above trying to win a match on a what would be considered a "low"
point in the match - after a strike-related knockdown, or a basic
throw/submission hold.

Weaknesses:

Prone to frustration.  As you might expect, when you go for 5 pinning
combinations in the course of 3 or 4 minutes, without victory, you're going
to become unsure of yourself and lose some confidence.  When this happens
(and their should be times when he actually does kick someone hard enough to
knock them out & score a quick win), Rembrandt'll start taking
risks, slow down his offense, and try and throw harder strikes- in other
words, he'll slow down the pace of his match, intentionally or otherwise,
and go for a harder offense.

Excessively violent.  Rembrandt tends to compete now more to make a point-
that he commands respect.  If he should be disqualified or counted out in
the process, so be it.

Untrustworthy.  Because of his overinflated ego, Rembrandt isn't going to
trust _anyone_, face or heel, period.  In point of fact, the only way one
can get on Rembrandt's good side is either by proving themselves to be
almost as violent as he, or on the same level intellectually as he... And in
the world of professional wrestling, not many people are going to be capable
of doing either.


Profile:

Rembrandt is one of wrestling's few renaissance men.  Rembrandt was born in
Berlin, Germany, and moved to Kyoto, Japan when his mother passed away when
he was 6 years old (his father being originally from Kyoto).  Rembrandt grew
up with an appreciation for hard work, thanks to his father, and an
appreciation for the classics, as were his mother's wishes.  Rembrandt had
an on-again off-again relationship with martial arts & professional
wrestling as he was growing up, and, for reasons unknown, chose to make it
his business on his 18th birthday.

Rembrandt trained almost entirely in Kyoto, his goal being to make it to
America.  When his training completed, Rembrandt caught a flight to South
Laredo, Texas, and joined the fabled LWC.

Upon joining the LWC, the ground fell out from underneath Rembrandt.

Taking on the last name "Drache", Rembrandt sucked it up in LWC, reaching
his ultimate low when his arm was broken by Dave Cigliano.  After that
injury, Rembrandt fell into a deep, nearly fatal, depression.

As his arm healed, Rembrandt began to feel better, and eventually went into
training to rehab his arm and make a return to the LWC.  Unfortunately, days
before he was scheduled to return, the LWC closed it's doors- leaving
Rembrandt out of work.  That brought him northeast, to the KCW, with hopes
of starting his career anew.

And indeed, KCW brought a great deal of success for Rembrandt, as he
literally ended career after career up until his most brutal attack, against
the mush-mouthed pseudo-human Billy Higgins, landed him an indefinite
suspension.  Rembrandt is currently on the verge of getting that suspension
lifted, and has signed onto RCW, probably, to find further success in the
business.
