Past + Personality
Not much needs to be known about Isaiah Graves...He was a solid student with a good home life, blessed with an athletic talent far beyond his peers...one he decided was suited for more extravagant avenues. Basketball and baseball weren't that appealing. After all, why share the glory when you're the star player of the squad? That's how Isaiah came across professional wrestling, a place where he could use his talents to earn all the accolades possible for himself BY himself. However, despite all the swagger and flair he possessed, he didn't have much of a reputation to carry his name into serious conversations. A few years into his career on the indies, Isaiah rolled onto the scene into a new promotion...one consumed by chaotic, troubling times...a company trapped in dire straits with no bright future ahead of them...There was turmoil backstage as a punk-ish bruiser was tearing through just about everyone, from the competition to the staff, causing problems for management everywhere he went...which included putting the company's top champion on the shelf due to causing an injury.
Despite all the outrage, it was ruled as an accident, and management's hands were tied. Now walking away scot-free, this big brute went around causing more havoc, seemingly unstoppable as he mowed through anyone who tried to get in his way. When no one else dared to step up and face this barbaric behemoth, Isaiah saw an opportunity to get his name out there. So he struck a deal with upper management. If he could put a stop to this problem wrestler's reign of terror and clean up their act, he'd receive TRIPLE the pay. Let's just say that Isaiah came to collect after putting on a wrestling clinic, bashing and barraging the would-be monster heel with all sorts of quips and tricky attacks that left them reeling and writhing on the canvas, finishing things off by dumping them into a nearby trashcan to be slowly counted out after spending the last fifteen minutes giving them the ass-whooping of a life time. With that problem sorted out and a handsome payday, Isaiah found himself becoming the fixer to a lot of people's problems, taking on a new role as a sort of bounty hunter, a mercenary for hire who wasn't afraid of any job, no matter how big or small. Tag team partner out of action? Done. Need some backup against a faction? No problem. A smart-ass rookie that needs to be taught a lesson? Consider it handled.
Eventually, Isaiah built up a proper reputation...and with it came connections...GOOD connections, ones that landed Isaiah a fancy contract in a rather prestigious wrestling organization, one with far more bounties to collect and far bigger rewards to cash out. With such a sizable boost to his reputation on the table, and a mighty fine paycheck staring him in the face, the keen-eyed hitman would pack his bags and make his way over to Japan, his sights set on targeting some of the biggest and best names this sport had to offer.
Personality: Isaiah is a slick, wisecracking rebel without a cause, simply looking for a good time or a nice payout. He's got a wannabe rogueish charm to him, paired with a cocky attitude and swagger like that of a football jock. Wherever he winds up going, he always acts like he's the biggest and baddest in the room. An unapologetic loudmouth, it takes a lot to shut him up. Given that, he likes to openly provoke others into getting into a scrap with him, having already analyzed that he can likely take someone down on his own, so what's the harm in putting belt to ass? If you start a fight with him, he'll make damn sure to be the one who ends it. As a self-proclaimed bounty hunter, Isaiah offers his "services" to other wrestlers, taking on challenges or going after specific wrestlers who need to be taken out. So long as the "bounty" is worthwhile, there's rarely a job that Isaiah will turn down.

WRESTLING INFO
Strategy: Isaiah likes to perform recon at the beginning of his matches, sticking to basic grapples, arm drags, and other maneuvers to keep one step ahead of his opponent. He likes to gauge their styles from a glance, learn their moves, and formulate a plan on how to take them down as if they were a target...which, to the head-hunting hitman, they are. After gathering enough information, Isaiah makes his move with a series of snappy attacks aimed at shaking things up, pivoting and adjusting as needed based on his opponent's perceived specialties. If they're a submission specialist, he'll stick to keeping them at bay with hard-hitting slams and avoid putting them in submissions they might know how to resist or reverse. If they're a striker or high-flyer, he'll wear down their limbs so they can't perform their attacks and moves as effectively. If they're a powerhouse, he'll see if he can match or exceed their strength, but if not, he'll target their core and legs to make all those powerful attacks far more strenuous to pull off. In short, Isaiah likes to create and exploit weaknesses surrounding his opponent's build, devising a strategy tailored to whoever he's facing.
Preferred Attacks: Dropkicks, Piledrivers, Chokes, DDTs, Suplexes, Springboards, Stunners, Coast-to-Coast Attacks, and Tree of Woe Set Ups.
Preferred Matches: Standard, Multifall, Ironman, Hentai, I Quit, Hardcore, and Falls Count Anywhere.
Attitude towards Hentai: "I always hit my mark...in more ways than one-"
