Hi there, my name is Sam, and I'm going to be trying a new idea (at least for me) within NFW. Deanofthermodynamics (yes, I don't know his real name/fwrestling moniker--just his PTC handle) offered it up and I jumped on that **** hard (cue terrible gay jokes). Essentially, what it'll be is a Piper's Pit type of thing, except with my character, Fred "The Poet" Cook. If you're unfamiliar with him, I competed a few times in TEAM and I'm pretty sure there's at least one match there with my competing...I think it was Poet versus Beast versus Hiroshi? Regardless, I'll throw a character description anyways:
The Poet is a flamboyant, over the top lover of himself and the art of poetry. He does what he wants when he wants, and as much as that sounds like a "bad ass" character, he's actually quite the pacifist; his wrestling repetoire consists of no real moves other than his finisher and set up moves, and the rest of the arsenal are just him trying to straight up pin you any way possible, be it a small package, school boy roll up, sunset flip pin, etc. His love of poetry usually outshines everything else, though. Often he'll break out into poems, refer to obscure works that aren't even that good, and make terrible analogies. Essentially, he's an over the top poet that's wicked terrible.
His show, which for now will be called "The Poetry Reading" for lack of a better name, will be an interview type of thing. It does not have to be solely interviews, though; if you wanted to include some sort of angle with another wrestler, he could interrupt and cause crazy ****. If you wanted to do...well, anything besides wrestler on it, you can. But, ultimately, it's a place where you interact with The Poet in an interview setting.
Why you should care:
In the most modest way possible, I think I'm a pretty good writer who can happily push other wrestlers as long as they're willing to deal with the off-beat and tangential ways of the Poet. Your character can be put over on the interview, you can use him as a higher-profile interviewer, or whatever. Essentially, for now, he's an NPC that's handled by a real dude. So instead of trying to awkwardly write for an interviewer used by everyone and trying to maintain his "status quo", you can focus on your own character while I focus on mine. I'm sitting by a computer from about 8:30 am to 5 pm until the end of August, so I'm easy to find via PM or e-mail. Additionally, back-and-forth interviews via e-mail or PM are possible, or if you want for me to give you a set situation of what will happen in the interview, we can work from there. I'm very excited to get started since I haven't done any sort of showcased writing for a while now, and since this is my first time with a "full-time" embarkment into the fwrestling world, I think I'll bring something new to the league.
And, uh, yeah. That's about it. Holla at me:
landry.sam@gmail.com or even PM.
Thanks,
Sam
