Background Information:
Appearance: Daymon bears a resemblence to, let's say, Henry Rollins. His skin complexion is pallid, but he's bulked up from years of pumping iron. No tattoos, but scars here and there, namely on his right shouder, where he was once attacked with a power drill. His hair is shoulder-length and dark brown. The color is the same as his eyes. No noticable facial hair, though he usually comes to the ring sporting a five o'clock shadow. In terms of dress, Rocko Daymon never goes anywhere that isn't a formal occassion without wearing jeans. Denim is the way of life for Rocko Daymon. He usually pairs this look with sneakers and any of various shirts, whether they be t-shirts, flannel, dress shirts, or hooded sweatshirts. In the ring, he fights in denim cut-off jeans, paired with black pads and boots, and black fingerless gloves.
Personality: About a year after promising his fans and his loving family that he would be hanging up the boots and retiring from professional wrestling, Rochester Vincent Daymon yet again feels the road calling for him. Against the advice of his friends and loved ones, Daymon steps back into the world of wrestling to rediscover his identity, and find his niche in life. Due to the recent death of his father, as well as the stress burdened upon him by his personal life (coming mostly from his wife), he is rarely pleased to be back in the ring. Though he means well as a fan favorite, he may be considered as a loose-cannon who is easily irritated.
Background: Daymon was born Robert James DeLion in Williamsburg, Illinois, the son of Edward DeLion, former United States Marine who served three tours through Vietnam. Being one of two sons of a marine set strict standards for the young Robbie DeLion. Ed DeLion carried with him an elite philosphy for the upbringing of his children. Naturally, Robbie and his brother, Roy, grew up unhappy. Though part of a white, middle-class community that seemed to run on its own two feet, the young DeLions were trapped in a world of conservative and religious views, constantly molding them into an uncomfortable conformity.
Robbie was a quiet and shy child. He didn't make friends well. His closest friend was his older brother, who had a more prolific and extravagant personality. Many of Robbie's friends were Roy's, who introduced them to his younger brother. This continued for many years, even after Roy met the love of his life, Veronica Price. Veronica was a sweet girl from a somewhat lower-class liberal family. Ed DeLion and his wife, Susan, did not approve of her. Friction built between the parents and the eldest son. The one day, Roy DeLion told them he and Veronica would be expecting a child. This was the straw that broke the camel's back. After a heated fight in the den of the DeLion household, Roy stormed out of the house and never looked back. He later married his girlfriend, and the two moved to Denver, Colorado to raise their son.
This absence of a mentor and friend was catastrophic for the young Robbie DeLion. He was cut off from his dependency link, and virtually ignored by his overly flustered parents. In this time of need, the person who came to him was probably the most important person of his life, for better or for worse. Tony Vintelli was the youngest of three sons of the Vintelli Family. The Vintellis were known as a local upper-class dynasty, rumored to have ties to the mafia. The rumors proved to be true, as Tony, right hand man to his brother and capo, was very involved in smuggling and laundering. Much of this was not known by Robbie DeLion.
When Tony Vintelli approached Robbie about a job, DeLion saw his ticket out of Williamsburg, and an opportunity to reunite himself with his brother, or at least a way to break free from the shell of conformity. Robbie's stint in the mafia consisted of tedious courier jobs, where he was assigned to deliver packages or vehicles from one destination to the next. But on one occassion, Robbie buckled under pressure when he noticed a cop car parked nearby, and aborted his assignment. The disappointed Tony Vintelli said he had to make up for this mistake, and gave him a mission that was too much for the young boy living in a shell to accept.
Robbie DeLion was in a predicament. He was caught between morality and his own well-being. To follow through with Tony Vintelli's orders would mean putting his future and reputation at risk, but denying his order would mean vengeance on the side of the mafia... which could end in death. He had no choice but to confront his parents with this issue. A terribly disappointed Ed DeLion gave his last son a cache of life savings, and told him to leave Williamsburg and never come back.
With money in hand, DeLion set off to escape the grip of the Vintelli family. He came to Denver to settle with his brother and his family for a couple years. Then when rumors surfaced of mafia activity in Denver, DeLion sought out again, this time legally changing his name to Rochester Vincent Daymon to throw off his pursuers. Once again, he was seperated from his brother, and his own, living life outside the shell.
When he came to Los Angeles, Daymon met with a young rich kid named Zack Tseng, who was interested in starting a band. Daymon joined up as the bass player, where he met new friends, Dustin Downs and Kyle Valentine. Valentine as well was the only son of a wealthy family of Northwestern entreprenuers. He also had three charming younger sisters. Among these was the middle child of the sorority, Caitlyn Valentine.
If you're still with me, you may take this time to get yourself a coffee, or a snack...
After the two met each other, Rocko and Caitlyn began to build a lasting relationship with each other. When he wasn't playing in the band or with Caitlyn, Zack Tseng was showing Rocko his second hobby: professional wrestling. The Tseng dynasty were reknown wrestlers in several Japanese and Pacific circuits. Zack had picked up a number of moves and established quite a reputation. Much of this he passed on to Rocko, who modified Zack's style with a bit of his own improvisation.
Eventually, Daymon set out on his own in professional wrestling to earn a little cash on the side. His girlfriend Caitlyn joined up as his manager. The two started out moderately. Eventually, Daymon captured the Television Title, and formed an alliance with SpookMaster. The two combined forces to go against Spook's natural rival, Lord Ariakan. Daymon eventually became involved in a building feud between himself and Brazillian Bombshell, Equtis Genesis. Genesis had the last laugh when he brought a power drill to the ring while Daymon defended the TV Title against Ariakan. Daymon was cost the title, suffering damaged muscle tissue where he was drilled in the right shoulder, and brain damage from a severe blow to the back of the head.
He was on the shelf for a few months, but when he returned, he brought a few friends. Under the stable name of the Turks, Rocko and his crew recaptured many titles, and were aiming for Heavyweight gold, until SCW abruptly closed its doors.
When the fed reopened, Daymon came back strong, taking the Television Title in his grasp again the third time. Eventually, his "convincing mic skills" netted him a shot at the Heavyweight Title in a triple threat match. Thanks to a renegade interference, Daymon whisked through with the belt over his shoulder. He held onto it for the following few months, going head to head with the likes of Stalker, Winter, and SCW's own color commentator, "Delicious" Danny Darwin. But Daymon ultimately lost the title after a vicious feud with Devon Jackson, and left SCW again, uncertain of himself.
He and Caitlyn had recently seperated, taking time away from each other to bring things into focus. Daymon underwent a long depression, stepping back into SCW once or twice under a variety of different gimmicks and monickers. Nothing fit well. Finally, after a long break, he reunited and married his wife, Caitlyn. The two eventually bore their first son, Kincaid, and began to develop a family. Daymon decided then to return to the ring.
He came back with his wife Caitlyn, and the two worked together to recapture the SCW Television/Extreme Title, which later became the Unified Title. This led to a bitter feud against the High Rollaz, Marcus Wood, Devon Jackson, and Dallas Winston. Daymon eventually lost the belt to the three, and couldn't come back due to continuous screwjobs. Things got really tense when an individual called Clapper began stalking him.
Finally, he announced that he would yet again retire, leaving SCW for good. Clapper interrupted his speech, identifying himself as one of the agents of the Vintelli family (recently gone idle after Tony's incarceration), who wanted to give him one last match to settle the score. Daymon accepted, and the two met. They fought a long hard battle. In the end, Clapper limped away with an injured arm. Daymon was carried out with a herniated disc in his neck, which would leave him on the shelf for at least a year. There was no announced victor of the match, even though Clapper delivered the final blow.
After his injury, Daymon worked hard to settle down and comply with Caitlyn's wishes to build his family. But after long, his wounds had healed, and he found himself restless yet again. He began to think about his identity, and how he could fill the gaps in his head. Eventually, he came to the conclusion that he could only find it in the ring. Much against the wishes of Caitlyn, Daymon returns... to find the answers to the questions that haunt him.

Manager Name:
Caitlyn Daymon
Description of Manager:
Appearance: As Daymon is semblant to Rollins, Caitlyn Daymon bears a resemblance to Kari Wuhrer. Her complexion is much like her husbands, only it comes more naturally for her (Rocko's comes from being out of the sun). She has a petite and shapely form, but bears more resemblance to an actress than a supermodel. She's modestly built, in other words. Very athletic. To the ring, she usually wears typical women's clothing, only modestly covering herself up. That means long pants, or skirts, and nothing low-cut.
Personality: Though tension exists between her and her husband, Caitlyn is loyal to Daymon's attempts in the ring. She strives to give her fullest support, and to keep things equal in case outside sources choose to get involved. Her main priority is to manage his training, help him succeed, and do anything she can to help him rediscover himself and move to an early retirement.
