Appearance:
Athletic and svelte. Think Chris Hero meets Randy Orton. Rugged look with sharp facial features, with shoulder length lighter sun-dyed brown hair and a 5-o'clock-shadow (occasionally sporting a handle bar mustache). Long torso with strong, muscular upper legs. Many tattoos, most in old school style; sleeves on both arms with lots of good and evil themes (angles & demons, flowers and skulls, daggers/axes and birds), eagle chest piece, banner tattoo on neck in latin translating to "actions speak louder than words" and knuckle tattoos on both hands spelling out "hopeless."

Entrance Music:
"How Heavy This Axe" by The Sword

Style and Attire:
Steve is an intense but exceedingly keen man of few words. While humor can find him at times, he has a no bull**** attitude and uses his temper and aggression to his advantage, despite it getting the best of him at times. He rarely starts fights, but always finishes them. He has a deep appreciation for the metal and hardcore subculture, and believes his tattoos are artistic representations of his inner being. He has some training in various forms of martial arts but prefers to instinctually react with his strength, quickness and intelligence rather than devise a true strategy. Will utilize all parts of the ring and surrounding area, but excels at running the ropes and delivering high impact strikes and slams. In the ring, he wears silver tudo trunks with brown and black trimming with a design on the rear of crossed axes, and has black boots with white laces and regular elbow and knee pads. Out of the ring he almost always wears faded jeans with a hoodie underneath his leather jacket, oftentimes with the hood up.

Alignment: Tweener

Updated Bio as of 1/28.

---------------------------------------

Wrestler Name: Steve Jackson
Nicknames: "Axion"
Billed From: Chicago, IL
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 235 lbs
Alignment: Heel/Tweener

Theme Music: "Home of the Grave" by Black Breath
Ring Entrance: Once the opening chord of "Home of the Grave" hits, Axion confidently walks out from the curtain and immediately beings striding towards the ring. He will glance into the crowd on occasion, usually depending on the feud at hand and his demeanor at the time, and he will trash talk to the crowd occasionally, but doesn't make a great practice of it. His attention and focus is always on his opponent, and he lets them know it. He always climbs the rings steps non-hard camera side of the ring, and climbs in between the two ropes, spins around with his arms out (think Bret Hart) and hits his signature pose; hands clasped and lifted into the air above his head, as if bringing down a two handed axe on to the skull of his opponents. Roaring/yelling usually coincides. Depending on his alignment at the time, he will either play to the crowd near the hard camera side ropes, or on the second turnbuckle of the nearest corner towards the crowd. He then will warm up in his corner; pulling on the ropes, stretching and continue slapping his thighs and chest.

Finishers & Descriptions:
1. Axe of Ruin - running backhanded discus double-axe handle strike with theatrics

• Imagine AJ Styles' old discus lariat meeting Kofi Kingston's Trouble In Paradise. Essentially works like Sweet Chin Music; can be dramatically set-up or come from nowhere. When set-up, Axion gets the groggy opponent in the center of the ring, taunts them, runs towards and comes off the ropes, and then hits the move. See below for more on the set-up.

2. Axion Bomb - fist first top-rope senton bomb

• Essentially like Jeff Hardy's Swanton Bomb, except with arms extended out and the fists making principal contact with the opponent's chest. Axion rolls through once his fists hit the opponent to minimize the damage he takes from a high risk move. This one is used infrequently, and isn't as powerful as Axe of Ruin.

3. Hopeless Driver - falling scoopslam piledriver with applied chokehold from weakside hand

• Used very rarely. Only implemented in the blowoff match to a bloodfeud or in extremely close championship matches of high importance. Axion lifts the opponent as if to execute a scoop slam, but holds the opponent in the elevated position, using his off hand to apply a chokehold. After pausing for a few more seconds, he falls forward on to his belly while keeping the opponent in the same stalling scoop slam position, with the opponent landing on the back of their head and upper neck.

Does your wrestler have any special set-up for their finisher?:
Axion uses both his signature pose and signature taunt to hype his finishers. He will raise his clasped hands above his head for the raised axe pose, and then bring them down and show his knuckle tattoos to the opponent, which spell out "hopeless." The intensity of which he shows the tattoos to his opponent will depend on the feud and on which side of the face/heel spectrum Axion is residing at the time. When he's closer to the heel end of the spectrum, he will yell "F*CKING HOPELESS" at the opponent. His signature move The Cleaver often precedes Axe of Ruin, as does his spot starting with the spinebuster corner counter.

Special Moves:
The Cleaver - high angle uranage side slam
Off With His Head - elbow drop from second rope to opponents neck
Flying Axe - diving double axehandle from top rope

Every Match Spots:
Knee strikes from body clinch into inverted atomic drop followed by standing high-impact clothesline
Snapmare into downed dropkick, pectoral stretch or rear naked choke
Spinebuster into corner into stomps (counter)

• After being whipped into the corner, Axion will step out and approach his opponent as they are running to hit a corner splash or clothesline. He then lifts them into a twisting spinebuster, with their lower back landing on the top turnbuckle. Axion then has the offensive position, and stomps his opponent down. On occasion, Axion will perform the spinebuster and then take off towards the ropes, as his opponent is walking out towards the middle clutching their back, and Axion will recoil and hit Axe of Ruin.

10-15 Moves:
Elbow strikes
Haymakers
Roundhouse and front kicks
Standing dropkick
Arm drag
Double kneedrop to downed opponent
Snap Scoop Powerslam (often done to running opponent)
Northern Lights Suplex (non-bridging)
Knee to midsection from Irish-whip
Swinging Hangman's Neckbreaker
Rear naked choke
Kneeling shin chokehold
Suicide dive to the outside (fist-first)
Running hangman/running reverse hotshot

Backstory:
Steve is an intense but exceedingly keen man, usually of few words. He grew up in an orphanage in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, and was a drifter before ending up in a gym and finding his calling at the age of 19. While humor can find him at times, he has a no bull**** attitude and uses his temper and aggression to his advantage, despite it getting the best of him at times. He prides himself on always being the one to finish a fight. He has a deep appreciation for the metal and hardcore subculture, and believes his tattoos are artistic representations of his inner being. He has some training in various forms of martial arts but prefers to instinctually react with his strength, quickness and intelligence rather than devise a true strategy. Will utilize all parts of the ring and surrounding area, but excels at running the ropes and delivering high impact strikes and slams. Not the type to band together with others, unless it directly benefits him.
