GRAHAM BAKER

Subject: GRAHAM BAKER August 2nd 2023, 8:45 am

LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN.

BASIC INFORMATION
Wrestling Name: Graham Baker
Picture Base: Mark Davis.
Current Nicknames: "Guillotine", Gaijin Kaiju
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 230 lb.
Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by way of London, England.

CHARACTER INFORMATION
Disposition/Alignment: Chaotic Neutral.
Gimmick: Force of Nature. Violence personified. Graham Baker's hands itch to be stained with ichor as they were in the past. If death in Tokyo split his life into two paths, this is the dark one. This is the excised tumor. This is that which we dare not speak of.

RINGSIDE INFORMATION
Theme Music: "Gimme Shelter" by the Rolling Stones.
As the arena lights go down, the opening guitar strums to 'Gimme Shelter' blast out through the arena speakers. We see a silhouette in the entryway, backlit by light as smoke floods forth, before the lyrics start.
OH, A STORM IS THREATENING.
MY VERY LIFE TODAY.
IF I DON'T GET SOME SHELTER.
OOH YEAH, I'M GONNA FADE AWAY.
As the chorus picks up, Baker bursts forth from backstage to a (presumably) mixed reception, holding both hands high and letting out a cry of rage. He turns his sole focus toward the ring, rushing toward it and sliding in, clearing his path of anyone else as lyrics rip through the arena.
WAR, CHILDREN!
IT'S JUST A SHOT AWAY!
IT'S JUST A SHOT AWAY!
WAR, CHILDREN!
IT'S JUST A SHOT AWAY!
IT'S JUST A SHOT AWAY!
YEAH!
As Baker mounts up in a corner, the announcer steps forward.
"Fighting tonight out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania...weighing in at two-hundred and thirty pounds...he is The Gaijin Kaiju..."GUILLOTINE"...GRAHAM...BAKER!
Baker throws a hand up as his name is announced, before turning his sole focus back to his opponents in the ring.

MOTIVATIONS
What are your character’s motivations for competing?: Kill them all, let God sort them out. Graham Baker's achievement of the SSW Puroresu Championship has brought the darkness back out to play. He wants glory, and he wants gold, and most importantly he wants gore on his fists, beneath his fingernails.

Tendency to Cheat: Choose from these options: Rarely-Baker's trying to rebuild himself, and has become averse to cheating for that reason. He'll return the favor if it's done to him, though.

Common Moves: Minimum ten (10)
1. Suplexes - Time away has refined Graham Baker’s techniques, and so he’ll usually toss his opponents down with some violent and brutal efficiency. This old dog has learned to keep his tricks in fucking tip-top shape, and so Baker will break out any variation of suplex to keep an opponent off their feet.
2. Kicks - Baker utilizes his legs and speed to do major damage to an opponent, especially when combined with his lariats and other arm-based offense. Roundhouse, hook, switchblade, back-heel, superkicks, and dropkicks fill out his arsenal, with other variations coming to use as they're applicable. Baker often combines kicks to set opponents up for his devastating Half Life Bomber lariat.
3. Knee Strikes - Much like his legs, Baker's knees also provide some crippling offense. Whether drilling an opponent with a bicycle or single leg knee strike, or driving his knee into an opponent's skull repeatedly, Baker likes to keep variety with how he manhandles the people he finds himself in the ring with. His knee strikes are the crux of his snap-offense, and often his go-to counters when nothing else seems to be working.
4. Arm-based offense - Elbows, forearms, lariats, punches, chops, slaps, the whole nine and then some. Baker's got some tree-trunk ass arms and he's not afraid to use them to welt the shit out of any opponent unfortunate enough to come across him in the Squared Circle. Most often, he'll use combinations of chops, slaps, and strikes to soften an opponent up for one of his killing blows.
5. Short-range stiff strikes - If an opponent finds themselves too close for comfort, or Baker finds himself in an uncomfortable situation, he'll often respond with barrages of stiff strikes such as headbutts, forearms, punches, slaps, and kicks. These barrages are usually combinations of his other offense, but to greater effect. Often, he'll end a sequence with a headbutt or a particularly gunshot-like chop to take an opponent down for good.
6. Powerbomb Variants - Much like with the suplexes, Baker will hit a good variety of powerbombs, but it's not much for the looking. Unless going for a specific move to piss someone off or to set up for a specific maneuver, Baker will scoop an opponent up and just drop them with a nasty powerbomb.
7. Slams and Power Moves - Baker is a fan of powerslams and using his weight against his opponent. Usually done when an opponent is caught out, Baker will slam them into the fucking canvas with zero hesitancy.
8. Manhandling - Baker is well aware of his size, and as such will throw his opponents around with great efficiency.
