Wrestling Style
Axel primarily wrestles a strike heavy style, looking to beat the opponent down with fast yet precise kicks and punches, before moving to a more high-impact approach with his moves, the more he gets his opponent beaten down. Although he may struggle, he can sometimes find the strength to slam even the much heavier opponents.
Signatures
The Punchline: Axel sprints toward his opponent, leaps, and hooks his arm around their neck mid-spin, twisting his body horizontally before dragging their head down into the mat.

The Curtain Call: Axel lifts and inverts their opponent for a tombstone piledriver, but bends their calves inwards as he stretches their body out, painfully bending them whilst their head is trapped between his thighs and against his crotch. Axel may make use of the positioning to tease/attack the opponent's crotch.

Axel has a manic and unpredictable personality, balancing delusional theatrics with a sadistic streak that can switch at a moment's notice. Beneath the chaotic and flamboyant charm lies someone who lives on pushing boundaries and turning every fight into some form of twisted game.
Backstory
Axel Vayne, real name Johnny Campbell, grew up in the slums of Redvale. His childhood filled with neglect, his father was a violent drunk following the death of his mother at a young age which left him to attempt to make a life for himself among gangs and criminals. By the time he was sixteen, Axel (or Johnny as he was known as at the time) had already built a reputation for a sharp tongue and unpredictable behavior. Things forever changed for him when one night his best friend, the one person keeping him from going off the deep end, was murdered in a personal attack from a rival gang leader. This combined with the following night when his father took his abuse too far, Johnny snapped, beating him down violently with a baseball bat.
Johnny disappeared that night, before returning to Redvale days later, looking almost unrecognisable with his pastel-dyed hair, smeared makeup, and eccentric clothing. But behind this new look was someone who had become dangerously efficient, seeing violence as an art form and finding disturbing pleasure in the unpredictability of life-or-death encounters. Johnny Campbell was dead, and Axel Vayne was born. Axel "took care" of the gang leader and his followers that night, before leaving Redvale, never to return.
Now 25, Axel is infamous in various wrestling circuits, where he thrives in high-stakes chaos — from cage matches to no-holds barred rules. Despite his erratic demeanor, he is methodical when it comes to in-ring strategy, and can play by the rules (to an extent). To Axel, wrestling is an art form where the opponent's body is his canvas.
