"The Evangelistic Slayer" Draven Rook

[rosslambert]

DRAVEN ROOK

[/U][/I][/size]

[/center]

Real Name: Draven Mordekai Valenforshen Rook
Ring Name: Draven Rook
Nicknames: "The Light", "Hand of God"
Age: 29 (September 25th, 1978)
Weight: 238 pounds
Height: 6’2
Nationality: English
From: Maidstone, Kent (England)
Billed From: “The Church of The Dark Divines”
Poser: Jimmy Jacobs
Gimmick: Devout Ex-Reverend looking to rid the world of wrestling sinners. Considered an Anti-Hero somewhat, he’ll attack Heels for their wrath and their hatred and he’ll attack faces for the greed of fans approval. Ultimately, Draven is the biggest sinner because of the pride rush he gets from it.
Theme Song: Raining Blood by Slayer (starting from the actual song and not the speedy thrash intro)
Fighting Style: Heavy Mat-Wrestling and Neck Based Submission combined with sickening strikes and the occassional kayfabe "Divine Interventions".
Description: While the stereotype of any priest, never mind an evil one is an unhealthily skinny old white guy with wispy white hair in black robes with purple jackets and etc or a fat black guy in aviators yelling "Praise the Lord!". Draven defies this in many ways, he has a full head of shoulder length raven hair, he has a black goatee beard and if he chooses to be can be quite the lady magnet. He is also in great shape and can compete at a world-class level. Incredibly hard hitter, he opts to use his hands.

Hyping Taunt: Draven will fall to his knees begging for mercy while doing the Catholic "Sign of the Cross" touching his forehead, the middle of his chest, his left and then right shoulder before letting go of a green poisonous mist.
Effect: Power Sappage, the stuff will come off but so long as it's on the skin it will slowly drain the vicitm of it's power until he's passing out on the floor at a fairly steady rate.

Holy Fire
Description: White-Hot Fireball (fast burning paper)
Usage: ++
Hyping Taunt: None, it will normally be when he's getting beat down and needs a way out of a situation. Can cause a victim to become fully ignited.

Usage: ++
Hyping Taunt: Draven will raise his arm in the end as if clasping onto something and then he'll leap and drop to one knee slamming his palm on the floor.
Effect: Allows Draven to escape a multi-man beatdown or an awkward situation, this will primary be used in segments, also allows him to blind-side an opponent.

[silencio]

You should've stayed with Jimmy Jacobs >_>

[rosslambert]

Nah, Aragorn fits the bill better TBH.

[rosslambert]

Updates. New moveset and poser.

[silencio]

Now that poser is just plain gay.

[rosslambert]

I'd use Jimmy but Eddie Torgo has him.

[xs3]

Mainer and his fascination with old people >_>

Go for it, Mainer! I don't have time to write for Torgo

[rosslambert]

Thanks McKaye, bump again for "Powers".

EDIT: Also, Silencio, do you reckon it'd be worth bringing Dormieux in for a bit at some stage?

[silencio]

Bring her in

[rosslambert]

Only just got onto this, yeah I've made a massive load of changes to the original character as well as of course added Lilith (who when I was gonna' do my Fallout run was going to be brought in after I'd got Draven established). Obviously, Draven is now American and not English and his moveset is a lot better polished.
