The character could not be displayed

Sorry folks... it's about time that I take things over from here. Yeah, I know... breaking kayfabe in roleplays isn't exactly the best way to get over with the judges, but you know what? Right now isn't about beating Buck to me... this is for myself. This... this is something that I feel needs to be done, you know?

So after some debating, I... decided to take a different route with this RP. I decided to make things more personal, more focused around why this RP is being made, not how. I... hope you guys don't mind.

Dominic Pericolo is one hell of a character to write for, I've put alot of effort into him over the years for the sole reason to see his story begin and, inevitably, come to an end. From the HWF where he debuted to the NLCW where he, more than likely, will retire... Dominic's came a very long way. When I first made the character, he was what Chris would call a "machine". I think we all a some point have one of those characters... you know the kind. They lack any true emotion behind what they do or say, it's all just so monotone and grey. I couldn't handle continuing with a character like that, so as I fleshed out Dominic's back story through my roleplays I began to tweak with his emotions, eventually delving into his psychological state of mind and developing him as a human being, rather than another wrestler.

My biggest rival in the HWF for Pericolo was most definitely Chris Champion: in the beginning they were polar opposites. Dominic was the cold, calculating wrestler that the fans all loved, whereas Champ was the energetic and charismatic villain. We played off of each other perfectly, building up a long lasting fued with each other that has brought us to today.

When Dominic came here, the HWF had only just folded with Dominic having played a villain role for the better part of a few months, his pychological state of mind was completely messed up. I wanted to find a way to bring him in as a face once again in the NLCW, to find a way to work his mind around the problems of the past and develop off of them. The HWF's Dominic Pericolo was growing bland because back then I didn't know what else I could do with him, and so turning him heel seemed to be the best option.

Here, in the NLCW... I've known where I wanted to go with Dominic since day one. It makes me happy, really, knowing that everything is coming together exactly the way I'd hoped for it to. Dominic is my favorite creation, he's a wrestler who, much like all of us, writes stories and tries to live his life as normal as possible. He's not the type to let his status get to is head (not anymore, at least), yet at the same time he really does want to be people's "hero".

Recently, however... I killed that dream.


It was time for Dominic Pericolo to realize that he can't be the hero to everyone.

  • And so, after so many stories of the hero's triumphs... I decided to Detect Settings Refresh my style.

  • Gone were the days of Dominic struggling to be the hero... and now came the days where he struggled to be himself. To be happy, to accomplish his dreams... Dominic only wanted to see these things come to fruition. His love for Suk had grown over time, to the point of where before the accident happened, he was ready to hang up his boots so he could start a family with her.

    Sorry, Dominic... but that's not the direction you're going just yet.

    You see, the thing about heroes are no matter how badly they want to be normal, so many of them can't pull away from what draws them in. Dominic just wants to be with Suki, but as that time grew close to where he was ready to give it up... Suki was taken from him, throwing him right back into the fray. Now Dominic stands helpless, angry at the company that has given him so much simply because they can't allow him to breach contract to stay with her.

    Dominic DOES understand why... it's just that, well, he hates it.

  • Poor old JLR tends to be the punching bag for alot of writers around here who need someone for their characters to take their frustrations out on and, in this instance... I'm among those writers who resorted to using him. Dominic can't neccesarily march into the board and superkick everyone in sight, so I thought it would be best that he verbally go after Rockingwell.

  • The thing about Dominic is that unless you have it coming to you, he tends to be a very nonviolent person. For a character in an e-fed, this is generally unheard of... but, to be honest, it's just in his character. When I first tried to Detect Settings Detect His Character Settings, I was able to determine how he'd react to knowing he'd have to leave Suki behind, how he would deal with the memories of him leaving Crystal and subsequently losing her in the process.

  • All the roleplays that I've written here... they've all lead up to these final two months. I'll be honest with you, I never expected something like this to eventually flesh itself out the way it has; funny how these things work, ain't it? Anyway... so now, I find myself facing the guy I've faced on many occasions in the past, and I find myself wondering how Dominic's story could possibly fit itself around a man like Bucky Skyler. With Dominic's deteriorating mindset... how would he react to the "Savior" facing off against him.

    Moreso, how would he react upon finding out about the words spoken by Mr. Skyler, and the idea that should Dominic lose, Suki would die?

    Well, you'll all find that out soon enough, because I'm taking us Back into Dominic's world. I will say this, however, and I want it to be heard loud and clear.

    This is my story, Bucky... and it will go the way I want it to, or I'll end it right now.
