Entrance Music: "Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer" by Fantomas

Wrestler Entrance: The arena lights go dark and suddenly there is a pounding of a drum, akin to a beating heart as a spotlight shines down upon the OCW ntry ramp, showing where a sigil of some sort has appeared during the few seconds of darkness.

The double beat sounds once again and the light vanishes, and all is black once again. A third repetition sounds, and the spotlight is back, revealing that a black guantleted hand has torn through the metal mesh of the entry ramp. A fourth and the arena lights come back up, but in a sinister blood red as the hideous flame-hued mask of Legion appears on the jumbotron.

The monster has torn himself free of the entry ramp and raises his arms as guitars play for a moment and columns of flame light up the OCW arena, sending the lights back to their normal state. Legion walks to the ring, rolling under the bottom rope and stands, raising his left hand into the air.





Gimmick/Personality: Demonic Monstrosity



Finishing Moves and description:

Anathema Apotheosis: Straight Jacket Sleeper Romero Special

Misery I: Crucifix Bomb lift, followed by a release and pivot catching the foe in a reverse DDT

Misery II: Single shoulder lift powerbomb to lunging chokeslam

Misery III: Powerbomb to DDT

Typically the lighter the opponent, the higher the Misery variant. I and II can be done to just about everybody on the roster thus far.



Signature Moves and description:

Guiding Hand: Choke lift dropped into left handed uppercut

Blood Moon: Moonsault Fallaway Slam

Bleeding Crescent: Flipover Alabama Slam

Five Finger Crawl: Von Erich Claw, usually with the left hand.

Mirror, Mirror: Legion has a tendency to break out moves that aren't his own. This manifests as using his opponent's finishers and signatures, well known moves of past OCW/XHWF stars, and the moves of people that his opponent is a past or present rival of.

Legion also has his own version of the Undertaker/Kane-esque "zombie sit up" no sell. In his case it's a rather unnatural looking rise/lurch to his feet. I have no idea how to describe it aside from just saying picture a quasi-serpentine getting back to one's feet that starts at the ankles and goes up from their. Kind of like getting up pelvis first. It looks like something Voldo from Soul Calibur would do. There's probably a gymnastic term for it.

Wrestler Biography:

Legion is, as his name suggests, what Mr. Gaunt refers to as a "Composite Eidolon," a supernatural being melded together from many others. Gaunt tells the tale with more flair, but the short of it is as the Crusades began to falter, the Pope asked a man deep in the darkest sects of the Vatican to use whatever means were at the Church's disposal to take Jerusalem. Cardinal Marchand forged a weapon, comprised of dozens, hundreds of imprisoned spirits bound within metal.

Upon its competition, the sword devoured him, mind, body, and soul. The unnatural act of its forging staining the Marchand bloodline with the heinousness of its sin for all time. In the centuries the followed the sword was melted down and reforged into a gauntlet, attempting to alter its purpose by altering its form.

The gauntlet can only be claimed by a member of the Marchand bloodline, and with it can summon the Eidolon known as Legion into being. The current owner of the item is Mr. Leeland Gaunt, who is of the mind that the more darkness one uses to fight darkness, the more room is left for the light. A decided acolyte of dark powers, Mr. Gaunt unleashes his monster in wrestling federations from time to time, to slake the beast's thirst for combat, battle, chaos, and strife.

For the past year Legion has run rampant over the IWC, winning the No Holds Barred title, spending over an hour in the ring and outlasting over 50 mortal men to become the winner of the annual Rumble, and upon his victory, proceded to face World Champion Taylor Chase in the main event at Invictus.

Preferring to prove points, expose hypocracy, and shed light on the darkness over personal glory, Legion tore the champion's knee brace off her body, the modified medical device being a primary component of her "TKO" finisher. Both individuals used the "medical device" as a weapon for a goodly portion of the 40 minute match, at the end of which it was not deformed in the slightest.


Behind the Scenes
Legion is played by twin brothers Russell Nash-Blade and Stephan von Krieger owners and founders of B-movie production house and special effects design company Nine Rings Studios. The pair are famous for their previous character, Desolation, also portrayed by the both of them. Utilizing their decades of SFX wizardry the pair and their company create all the special effects used by the Black Crusade in order to intimidate their opponents.

With the IWC's fucking strange IC-OOC-Off Camera-On Camera-Character Development policy the brothers can also be considered to be serving as mortal hosts to the Legion entity. But seriously the IWC is silly.

Character Details

Name: Leeland Gaunt
Alias: Mr. Gaunt, the Mouthpiece of the Black Crusade
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 195 Pounds
Age: ?
Hometown: Unknown
Picture Base: Julian Richings or Gaunt's logo
Body Type: Lithe and lanky
Alignment (Face/Heel/Neutral): Mouthy, Trash Talking Face
Entrance Music: "Perfection or Vanity" by Dimmu Borgir
Wrestler Entrance: The opening strains pf Dimmu Borgir's "Perfection or Vanity" begin to play as the Carteltron fills with the demonic logo of a stylized leviathan cross, the personal emblem of Mr. Leeland Gaunt, announcing his arrival.

Mr. Gaunt strides out, his butler Hush to one side, his bodyguard Silence on the other. Gaunt raises his arms, holding his cane in one hand, grinning at the crowd, as if inviting them into his dark embrace. The image on screen flashes to various members of the crowd, zooming in on bits of jewelery, tattoos, t-shirts, posters, signs, banners, all of which have the same two traits in common: a spider and a Maltese cross.

(Place a few examples here, changing from show to show. Here are a few.)

A young man in the front without a shirt stands, matching Gaunt's pose, grinning and nodding at the camera, the spider and cross the centerpiece of his manifold torso tattoos.

A white haired old woman leans on an all too familiar looking ornate cane. She winks at the camera as it zooms in on her charm bracelet, dozens of tiny spiders and crosses of varying styles and designs.

By this time Gaunt and his entourage have reached the ring, into which Gaunt enters via rolling under the bottom rope.


Gimmick/Personality: Mouthy smart-ass, practitioner of dark arts, leader of the Black Crusade.

Wrestling Style: Technical with little to no high flying. Gaunt tends to stay out of in-ring action, but for a manager he is surprisingly competent in the ring. He also uses his cane as a preferred weapon.

Think Dean Malenko or Bryan Danielson.

Wrestler Biography
Hailing from unknown locales, with a bit of a British accent to him, a foul mouth, and a manic grin, Mr. Gaunt is a somewhat clownish sorcerer that enjoys playing the part of the devil's advocate. He's become infamous in the IWC for his big mouth as well as being able to so cunningly plan that he almost always escapes attempts at retribution.

Despite his lithe build, he is a force to be reckoned with, especially if in possession of his almost ever-present cane. Said cane hits like a baseball bat and contains a hidden dagger when the need for personal lethal force is required. But for wrestling purposes, the cane itself serves as his primary weapon.

Sporting massively scarred forearms from grabbing hold of the eternally burning Hand of the Legion, Gaunt's sacrifice resulted in great power, as with ownship of the Hand, so too comes the service of the demonic force contained within, the monster known as Legion.

Between tending to supernatural events on behalf of mankind, Gaunt unleashes his beast in various wrestling federations, hoping to slake the creature's constant driving need for battle, conflict, and chaos.

Behind the Scenes
Gaunt is portrayed by XHWF Alumni Clive "7" Moriarty, having rid himself of the numeric-related moniker, the blonde hair dye, the 7 ball contact lens, and the bright blue suits in favor of a sedate black, as befitting a modern day practitioner of black magic.

Character Details



Name: Silence

Alias: The Hellspeaker, Voice of Demons, "The witch."

Height: 5'9"

Weight: 145 Pounds

Age: ?

Hometown: Unknown

Picture Base: Her mask logo

Body Type: Compact and quick

Alignment (Face/Heel/Neutral): Batshit Crazy Babyface
Entrance Music: "If I Had a Heart" by Fever Dream

Wrestler Entrance: As the drone of Fever Ray's "If I Had a Heart" begins, the lights dim as the enigmatic woman known as Silence walks out onto the stage. Her distinctive one-eyed crown of thorns and halo mask design appear on the Jumbotron as the woman herself appears.



Walking forward methodically her gaze slowly pans back and forth over the audience, seeming to search for threats before fixating on the ring. Mr. Gaunt trails behind her, cane under one arm, and a smirk on his face.



As the pair approach the ring, the arena cameras begin to focus on familiar images and emblems in the crowd as Silence enters the ring, standing almost motionless in one corner, simply staring forward.



(This bit is the same as the latter part of Gaunt's entrance.)





Gimmick/Personality: Creepy masked lady that speaks only in a whisper.



Wrestling Style: Eclectic, random, seems capable of pulling off just about any and every move under the sun, even some that would seem to require strength above and beyond what she ought to be capable of. Usually this shows as suplexes on larger opponents and the occasional powerbomb.



Wrestling Silence has been referred to as simultaneously fighting a horse, a wasp, and a goddamned boa constrictor. She is typically grappling or clinging to her opponent in some sort of submission. If she's not torquing on something, she's kicking, punching, or clawing the hell out of something. If she's not doing either one of those, she's probably in the air, about to deliver something that is very bad news.



She tends to be uncomfortably close to opponents, positioning herself where it is very difficult to swing at her, and thus robs larger foes of their reach advantage.



She's also slippery as a snake and finds astonishing ways to contort herself into strange positions in order to break holds, grapples, or crank up the leverage on one of her own moves.



If she's not doing any of those things? Well, it's already too late. She's probably got her fingers jammed down your throat.

Wrestler Biography
Of a bloodline twice blessed, or cursed, Silence is a true medium, a speaker to spirits, as well as an oracle, able to cast divinations and see into the future. With her parents slain at an early age and raised by the state, there was no one to instruct her of her supposed "gifts." So when they manifested one dark day, the young woman found herself instutionalized and doped to the gills.

A place with a whispered history of hauntings, the asylum found her no respite from the dead. Instead it nearly brought about her demise. Bound in a straightjacket and forgotton about for the span of a weekend, Silence found herself chanelling the manifold dead of the asylum, beings that had forgotten what it is like to be alive all trying to pour their message through a fragile young woman. Her screaming started and did not cease until nearly 48 hours later, when she managed to partially free one hand, with which she clawed out one of her eyes to stop the sight of such horrors and was well on her way to tearing open her own throat before the supernatural event drew the attention of Legion and Mr. Gaunt.

Rehabilitated, taught to use her gifts, and educated in brutal personal combat, Silence serve Mr. Gaunt loyally as a bodyguard, and the Eidolon Legion as her "Master." And she serves well. A bodyguard capable of momentary flashes into the future is exceptionally effective, as is a warrior that can see what an opponent does before they do it.

While she is not mute, it seems to give her great difficulty to speak above a whisper, and even then it's in a hideous rasp.

Behind the Scenes
Silence is played by Samantha von Krieger, Stephan's wife, who was a longstanding member of DTX, the federation run by the Blade dynasty and two other families. Her career was cut short by the same car accident that cost Stephan his eye, gave Russell his limp, and outright ended the career of the promising "Hell Bent" Hale Davidson. It's taken years of reconstructive surgeries to get all the little bits in her neck working properly. Like her husband, she's missing her left eye.

As a result she's only recently been comfortable getting back into the ring after over a decade of being out of it, and thus has been on no stage grander than DTX, though she's made on screen appearances in various roles on occasion. Likely her widest exposure being shown on air as the best friend of ULW/IWC superstar Hellkat.

Character Details



Name: Mr. Hush

Alias: The technician of the Black Crusade, The Unorthodox Mr. Hush, "That weirdo," The Unpredictable Mr. Hush

Height: 6'11"

Weight: 303 Pounds

Age: ?

Hometown: Unknown

Picture Base: His mask logo

Body Type: Lean, muscular, and broad

Alignment (Face/Heel/Neutral): Comedic Face

Entrance Music: "Pink Elephants on Parade" by V for Villains

Wrestler Entrance:



Gimmick/Personality: Silent masked butler and assistant to Mr Gaunt that seems to have a sense of humor with a loud, Shakespearean voice actor.



Wrestling Style: A mix of power and technical with some amazing (and amusing) feats of agility with many comical and often outright goofy spots thrown in. Would probably be considered a comedic face if not for his association with the Black Crusade.



Mr. Hush is in generally capable of performing just about any move. The more outlandish, strange, comical, or humiliating the better. Confusion is his main weapon, as he seems to have no real set style, and often does the unexpected.



Wrestler Biopgraphy

Ostensably Mr. Gaunt's butler, the ever-mute (except when he can weasel his way out of it) Mr. Hush performs dozens of tasks, helping out his master with everything from breakfast to summoning circles. He is also very strange with some unorthodox offence. He also carries around a metal baseball bat with bits of nails, spikes, and sawblades wleded to it, dubbed "The Universal Quieter."



Behind the Scenes

Though the IWC's Mr. Hush was portrayed by Stephan von Krieger, the role has been given to Loons member Xiak Xande, aka Hardkore Havok, as to allow for double booking for the character, as Xande is not an active IWC wrestler. The universal Quiter is played by Xande's companion obkect from the XHWF, Little Jerry.

[Black Crusade]

The Black Crusade

The members of the Black Crusade share a pool of similar moves, similar habits, and similar mannerisms. Each has a shared trait, finisher, or signature move shared with one or two other Crusaders.



Legion, Gaunt, Silence, and Hush all share the peculiarity that they work over the right side of an opponent's body, whereas most wrestlers work over the left.



Similarly they tend to favor their left side for strikes and on moves where a wrestler rotates themselves in a certain direction, they will typically do the opposite.



They all utilize at least one instance of a "Straight Jacket" positioning (opponent's arms crossed, usually at the throat or across the chest) in their finishers, each of which is titled Anathema.



Similarly they also utilize a modified Romero Special (surfboard submission rocked back so that the attacker is seated and the victim is kneeling with their upper body being pulled back), all named Apotheosis.



Legion, Gaunt, Hush

All favor suplexes as their primary form of hard-hitting offense, and all three have a particular strike they use frequently. Legion has his gauntleted backhand, Gaunt is fond of knife-edge chops, and Hush likes the throat thrust.



All three are also keen technicians and can switch up the pace from hard hitting suplexes, to drawn out submission style wrestling. Gaunt and Legion favor dragging out the pace to prolong an opponent's pain, while Hush is mostly interested in amusing himself via his various shenanigans.



Silence, by contrast, is all about quick, decisive moves and holds, looking to end a match as quickly and efficiently as possible.



The three men also similarly wrestle with most of their bodies covered. All three use full length pants and long sleeved shirts/tops. Gaunt and Hush wear specially tailored suit pants and shirts for optimized mobility, but retaining a professional look. Hush wears suspenders, while Gaunt prefers a belt.



Legion and Gaunt both wear gloves, while Hush has his hands bare, but tapes them when there is likely to be some action.



Legion, Hush, Silence

All three wear masks, Hush never speaks, Legion and Silence do so rarely. All three have a subset of maneuvers that they are immune / no sell. Legion and Silence with both do that slither up to your feet pelvis first kind of thing, Legion much more frequently.



Due to all the damage, scarring and reconstructive surgery on the left hand side of her neck, Silence doesn't react quite in the same way to choke/sleeper holds applied from that direction. Lock a sleeper on her while you catch your breath, only to find her having done the very same thing.



Hush and Legion (possibly Silence, but low blows don't tend to be used against ladies, so no one knows) also both are immune to low blows. Legion tneds to tilt his head to the left, while Mr. Hush just shakes his head in disappointment. This is followed up by that individual's most frequent strike. A backhand with his gauntlet from Legion, and a throat thrust from Mr. Hush.



Mr. Gaunt, however, is just as susceptible to groin shots as any other man. If you believe him, it's some sort of "Himalayan Meditation Technique" that Gaunt is too impatient to learn. That and any time that there is any sort of extended quiet, he starts yapping in order to banish it.



The masked trio also have a tendency to occasionally take to the air. Interestingly enough Hush is the most frequent flyer, followed by Legion, then Silence (though she almost always uses ring ropes and never turnbuckles). Gaunt keeps his feet firmly on the ground.



Legion, Gaunt, Silence

A proper gentlemen brawler, Mr. Hush scoffs at using anything so fanciful as a kick. Knees yes, stomps on occasion, kicks no. The other three all utilize kicks, the buzzsaw and shuffle side kicks chief amongst them.



They also favor moves that are somewhat efficient, high impact, high damage. Though Legion and Gaunt are prone to drawing out a match merely to inflict more pain. Hush, on the other hand, seems to view a wrestling match as an opportunity for hijinks and mischief.



Gaunt, Hush, Silence

The three "normal" members of the Black Crusade with their disparate styles of wrestling and differing in their favor pace for a match curiously have one trait in common: they will all use the infamous Asiatic Mist on occasion during matches. Silence and Hush both have variant masks that feature mouth pieces that can be pulled back, or removed in order to allow it, usually with black mesh underneath that continues to keep their features hidden.



Gaunt favors red, Silence favors yellow, and Hush favors blue. This is another thing that Gaunt has a long winded story about studying in the Orient or some such nonsense.



Legion and Gaunt

The two wrestle in a somewhat similar style, engineered seemingly to make the opponent suffer as much as possible both mentally and physically. They will both "play with" their opponents, continuing the bout when they could otherwise easily finish it.



Legion and Hush

Though they shop at different sections in the Strike department, Hush and Legion have an almost eerily similar style otherwise. They have a tendency to have a very similar fighting stance, favor the same kind of transitions, execute their moves in the same way.



Gaunt, as usual, tells of this as Legion's capacity to assimilate knowledge or channel the experience of another or some such nonsense. And thus to have his monster fight a "war" in the ring, he used Hush as the basis.



The pair also seem to be immune to groin shots, which Legion reacts to by tilting his head, then backhanding the offender, whereas Hush just shakes his head and uses his throat thrust. See the blurb above regarding this.



Legion and Silence

The hulking monstrosity and the rasping witch have a lot more in common than their starkly differing physiques would lead you to believe. They are both very brutal in their in ring styles, and share quite a few odd traits and mannerisms.



They both seem to display a bit of the unholy about them, able to shrug off devastating blows that would fell normal wrestlers, coming to their feet via a strange, slithering, sinuous motion where they seem to almost "flow" up from a playing start to regaining their feet.



Despite the huge weight differential, their wrestling styles and movesets are very, very similar, though Legion wrestles at a more methodical pace, seemingly to relish the pain of his opponent, while Silence favors the same hard hitting moves and uses them at a faster tempo.



Silence often serves as Legion's "voice," as the monster actually giving voice to words seems to very frequently cause catastrophic failure in technology around him, as well as intense pain in those without the proper warding in place



Gaunt and Hush

While Legion and Gaunt wrestle at the same pace, Gaunt and Hush have differing paces, but similar styles. Gaunt's moves aren't as practiced or crisp as Hush's versions of the same thing.



Gaunt is focused on pain and suffering, while Hush seems to wrestle with amusement in mind, mostly his and that of the audience.



Gaunt and Silence

Of the four, Gaunt and Silence seem to have the least in common aside from the fact that they actually will talk, though one is hard pressed to get a word in edgewise with Gaunt.



A keen eye would recognize that Silence has some proper combat and martial arts training, whereas Gaunt has nothing of the sort. The way they execute moves, and the general similarity of their technique on moves they have in common, however, show that the two had the same wrestling instructor, which the same trained eye would likely state is Hush.



Hush and Silence

Similar hard-impact styles, but varying preferences on pace, Hush and Silence are the most common tag team pairing for the Black Crusade. Though the four all seem to be very familiar at in-ring competition with any of the other three, to the point where each pairing of Crusaders have their own tandem finishers, Hush and Silence are the most practiced at it.



The similarity in their chosen monikers may point to a shared background, at least a history as instructor and student, as Silence shows all the hallmarks of being taught her in ring craft by Hush.



The preferred pace of the two seems to even out, with Hush dragging things out because he thinks it's funny, and Silence trying to get things done quickly and is taking the match seriously enough for two people.



Aside from her own arsenal of strikes the two actually share a finishing maneuver, with Silence's version of the Anathema Expiratus being done with a Tornado DDT like spin, by starting out in the corner. The tornado portion seems to be a preference, and Silence's sole concession to her mentor's flashy style.



Finishing Moves and Description:



Legion

Anathema Apotheosis: Straight Jacket Romero Special



Misery I: Crucifix Bomb lift, followed by a release and pivot catching the foe in a reverse DDT

Misery II: Single shoulder lift powerbomb to lunging chokeslam

Misery III: Powerbomb to DDT



The lighter the opponent, the greater numbered Misery. I and II are used on just about everybody, while III is reserved for light heavyweights/cruiserweights.



Gaunt

Calamitas Apotheosis: Dragon Sleeper Romero Special (with cane under the opponent's arms behind their back if he's allowed to do it)



Anathema Aculei: Straight Jacket Brainbuster



Calamitas Aculei: Legsweep reverse DDT (with the cane jammed in his opponent's back, like his other Calamitas finisher)





Silence

Tacitus Terminalis: Mandible Claw, usually applied from a back mount in conjunction with a half nelson choke. Has a tendency to apply this, or portions of it, from strange angles. Hanging vertical suplex? Hope you like fingers in your mouth.



Tacitus Apotheosis: The Tactitus Terminalis, applied during a Romero Special



Tornado Anathema Expiratus: Straight Jacket Tornado Backcracker





Hush

Anathema Expiratus: Straight Jack Backcracker



Expiratus Apotheosis: Quasi-Romero Special Abdominal Stretch, occasionally accompanied by an abdominal claw, tickling, or belly slaps. In order to get the proper positioning for the Abdominal Stretch Hush will fold over one of his opponent's legs behind the opposing knee, ala an Indian Death Lock



Expiratus Aculei: Full Nelson Slam to DDT





Signature Moves and Description:



Gaunt

Red Asiatic Mist



Seven Sisters: Chained Legsweep DDT's, seldom actually reaches seven, usually three.



Number of the Beast: Bicycle Kick



Five Finger Crawl: Von Erich Claw



Modified Figure Four: The leg portion of Mr. Hush's Gordian Knot, kind of mixing a figure four and a leg bar.



Rolling German Suplexes (usually three)



Double Powerbomb



Rocker Dropper



Mephisto Waltz: Superkick to the throat



Silence

Yellow Asiatic Mist



Mark of the Beast: Silence will use her sharpened nails to literally carve sigils into various portions of her foe's anatomy, usually an arm, leg, back, or forehead.



Unholy Warcry: Vertical Suplex to Piledriver aka Steiner Screwdriver



Radiant Sorceress: Shining Enzugiri



M. Bison Stomp: Double Foot Stomp, usually off the top turnbuckle onto a standing opponent's head, chest, or shoulders. On heavier opponents she can chain this into another flying move, as her momentum is just about negated.



Bleak Infinity: A flip of some sort into a DDT or reverse DDT. She'll counter irish whips by doing a springboard backflip into a reverse DDT, will roll over a ducking opponent's back to do the same, or flip into a DDT



Mephisto Waltz: Superkick to the throat



Fall From Grace: Belly to back piledriver



Hush

Blue Asiatic Mist



The Japanese Fuck Bucket: I legitimately don't know what the hell this move is called aside from "The Japanese Fuck Bucket" which is Colt Cabana called it at one point or another



Essentially you've got the opponent on their belly, stand over them, bend their legs back and lock them behind your wrists whilst pulling their arms back, holding them by the wrists, and smearing their face into the mat.



The Elaborate Japanese Fuck Bucket: As above, but Mr. Hush waddles over to a corner and proceeds to ram his foe's face into the bottom turnbuckle. Or on occasion something worse. Like Bob's bum.



The Gordian Knot: With a downed foe on their back Mr. Hush places one of his foe's legs in front of the opposing knee with the ankle sticking out. It looks like a figure 4 without a leg in the middle.



Hush steps over the leg, hooking the extended leg in his armpit and the foe's other ankle behind his foot. He then leans down and applies a double underhook, effectively trapping all of his foe's limbs, then stands up, increasing his leverage.



The HUSH: Scott Taylor's "Worm," with the crowd spelling out Mr. Hush's name instead.



Big Stinky Leg Drop: Hogan-esque "You!" point, followed by an irish whip, a big boot, the People's Elbow set up, culminating in a leg drop.



Cardiff Sawhorse: Pumphandle stretch, except that Mr. Hush rams the foe's forearm repeatedly into the foe's own groin. Only used on male (and females he suspects to be male) opponents.



Stonehenge Suplexes: German suplex, followed by an overhead wheelbarrow suplex, followed by a bridging Tiger Suplex.



Buttcracker Suite: Essentially a mocking version of his own finisher, hitting a Backcracker, but quite a bit lower, targeting the backside. Will hit this from just about anywhere, and does not use the straight jacket part.



Oriental Pillbug Style: Mr. Hush curls up into a ball, protecting his head with one arm, laying on his back or backside, and having one arm sticking up into the air. All one can seem to do is pepper him with strikes, try to pin him, or grab the outstretched hand.



Mr. Hush is a tough bugger, so he will weather strikes quite easily, allowing his for to tire themselves out, will counter a pin attempt into a roll up, or drag his foe down into some sort of submission.



Psycho Crusher: Springboard or Diving Corkscrew Battering Ram Headbutt



"Dragonsteiner": Supposedly Mr. Hush will attempt to perform the vaunted Dragonsteiner, but unless his foe is absolutely huge, will instead wind up as a sommersault senton into his standing opponent's chest.



Mirror Match: Counters an opponent's move into the exact same move.



LARGE HAM!: Mr. Hush's selling leaves... something to be desired. He has a tendency to over-sell everything. HBK vs. Hulk Hogan levels of overselling.



Ssssh!: Tends to signal for finishers by standing in a crouch, an index finger to his lips. Typically the crowd tends to go "SSSSH!" Sometimes Mr. Hush will also pull out a hand puppet and shout something insulting, British-sounding, or an comfortably bad pick up line.



HUSH, YOU DIMINUTIVE LOUT!



BE QUIET, YOU TRASH-FEEDING GUTTERSNIPE!



QUIET YOURSELF, YOU WRETCHED POSY-SNIFFER!



KNOW YOUR ROLE AND SHUT YOUR LEGS!



DID IT HURT WHEN YOU FELL FROM THE FISCAL CLIFF?

Hush and Silence work strangely well together from what would be awkward positions for anyone else. Silence using her partner's strength and greater stature to swing off of, jump off of, swing around, etc, while Mr. Hush is very capable when using Silence as a weapon, swinging her, throwing her, etc.

The two seem almost supernaturally aware of where the other is in regards to the in-ring environment at all times, allowing the pair to execute moves requiring split second precision.

Just a general note, Legion is the main character, and the rest wrestle seldomly. I'm long past my days where I can RP four matches in a fucking week. They're being included for completness.
