Background Information:
APPEARANCE:
At six feet and three inches in height, Sands bears a passing resemblance to Sean O'Haire, though he's more slender and his face is narrower. His chin and cheekbones are strong, the nose is hawkish, and his green eyes are slightly angular. He has dark brown-black hair that tends to be drawn back into a braided ponytail. His skin is an even bronze, accenting his already pronounced musculature. Christian's neck is quite thick, and his shoulders are pretty broad. A small death's-head is tattooed over his heart.
Sands' ring attire consists of a pair of glossy black biker-style shorts with red stripes down the outside of either thigh; the shorts have a sort of leathery texture. He wears tall black boots that tuck into black kneepads, and his hands are protected by fingerless black gloves. Black elbow pads protect his elbows.

PERSONALITY:
Sands is, quite simply, an evil egomaniacal genius. He loves only himself and believes that his agenda is all that matters. Despite this, he's deviously intelligent and highly calculating, able to scout out opponents' weaknesses and exploit them. (Think Triple H with the whole "Cerebral Assassin" deal.)

BACKGROUND:
Broke into the professional business in August of 2002, debuting on GXW's Onslaught by destroying two jobbers. Romped his way through the undercard before moving up in 2003, defeating "Kamikaze" Randy Cobb in the King of the Cage tournament and taking John Miller to his limits in that same tournament. Also saw action in SCW as a member of G.O.D., scoring victories over such notables as Sean "Triple X" Stevens, Kendall Codine, and Dallas Winston. Claimed the SCW International Title from Scott Johnson and feuded with Dan Ryan until SCW folded. In GXW, feuded with his brother Devon, who buried him under a woodpile and set him on fire to put him on the shelf for six months. Upon his return, Sands reappeared in NFW and scored a number of victories until running awry of Avery Prosser's Seven Deadly Sins. Returned to GXW with an unprovoked attack on Boogie Smallz, then wrestled Jean Rabesque at Battleground Britain 2004 in an epic 66-minute draw. At that same show Sands founded the New Team Phenom with Eric Davis and Clapper, laying out CSWA Champion Dan Ryan backstage. Also wrestled for EPW, where he defeated Beast to win his first World Title. Shortly afterwards, he signed a CSWA contract.

Typical Moves:
Style: Hard-hitting power/technical seguing into submissions. Sands can wrestle extremely long matches and is overwhelmingly technically sound for his size. He typically overwhelms opponents with suplexes and power moves in the early going, usually working on the neck, before moving to his deadly array of submissions, with which he is highly proficient. Think a combination of Kurt Angle and Triple H.

Wrestler's Entrance Description:
"Dark Machine" by Paul Oakenfold cues up, and the lights in the arena go out; the GlobalTron lights up with an image of Christian Sands gazing down from a distance, his face illuminated as if by car headlights through a window. After the first fourteen seconds of the song, a red strobelight kicks in. Smoke machines begin blowing a drifting mist horizontally across the ramp as Christian Sands emerges, striding down the ramp with the mist curling about his feet. He vaults into the ring over the top rope and stretches his arms briefly before boosting himself up to a turnbuckle, seating himself there facing inward to await his opponent.

Favorite Matches:
In general, prefers any match where he can employ his near-unparalleled technique and high stamina - that is, submission matches, ironman matches, and even regular matches.

Specific favorite matches/career milestones:
- (W) v. Beast @ EPW Black Dawn 3/18/04 (First World Title)
- (D) v. Jean Rabesque @ GXW Battleground Britain 2004 (66-minute match)

Roleplay Sample:
Sands: I'll make you a deal, Beast. If you can go one promo without dropping a trite wrestling cliché, I'll donate five thousand dollars to a special charity in your name. The Marcus Wescott Foundation for the Creatively and Intellectually Challenged. Please. I don't know how you can keep a straight face when you call ME cookie-cutter one moment before going on to drop lines like "You're gonna stare up at the lights" or "you're gonna be on your back" or "You're gonna be down for the one-two... uh... what comes after two?" In this case, kick-outs come after two, because that's about the only count you'll ever get on me - a two count.

What a joke. You calling me cookie-cutter, Beast, is like Michael Jackson bashing R Kelly for sleeping with thirteen-year-olds. You're the stereotypical Intense Big Guy, and we both know it. Get a life.
