IN-RING
Attire:
In the ring he wears either long tights, shorts length tights or brief cut trunks in a royal blue and silver colorway - The only thing that is really uniform is that the word "I C O N" is stamped across the right thigh of the gear, and "ICON/TRIGGER" is stamped across his rear end. Small, tight elbowpads, and varying degrees of white athletic tape on his fingers and wrists--it can be just wrist tape all the way up to fully taped fists and forearms. Kneepads that match the color of his tights, boots that match the color of his tights as well, with matching kick pads.
Comes to the ring in a hooded, belted, and sleeveless ring coat, the colors matching his gear.

ENTRANCE INFORMATION
Theme: James Williams - "Satellite" by Rise Against
Entrance Description:
Strobes begin to blaze everywhere as the opening riff to Satellite begins, as smoke also fills the entryway. The silhouette of the Icon can be seen in the smoke, before he steps through the entryway, extending one hand to the sky as high as possible with his pointer, thumb and middle finger spread out--The "Iconic" Pose. He holds this pose, looking up at his hand, until the smoke gets blown away and a spotlight shines down on him. He looks down out at the crowd, a manic smile on his face as he makes his way to the ring, whirling around and tagging hands and just being a ball of energy everywhere he goes. He reaches ringside and hops up on the apron, entering the ring in one fluid motion through the ropes and pinging off the opposite ropes like a super-ball, throwing his arms out and yelling out to the cheering crowd, every muscle taut and flexing tight as he displays intensity. Springing up a buckle, he plants a boot on the top rope and repeats The Iconic Pose one more time before dropping off the buckle, disposing of his entrance coat then settling into his corner.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Biography:
The definition of a "blue chipper". Bringing a package of exceptional physical ability, natural pro-wrestling talent and a relentless work ethic to PRIDE shores has many fans thinking this kid could be the future not just of PRIDE, but of pro wrestling. Calls himself "The Icon" more as a goal to live up to, as a revolutionary act in his own mind, rather than an ego type of thing. One day, he will TRULY deserve the name.
Accomplishments:
Reached the finals of FIW's Cutthroat Wrestling tournament.
Strengths and Weaknesses:
STRENGTHS
- A superhuman athlete. Capable of crazy high flying moves and high spots, including hitting the I Trigger from almost any position you can think of.
-Great resillience and mental toughness which allows him to stay in tough matches.
Weaknesses
- He's still considered a rookie because he has less than a year of pro competition under his belt. Makes a good amount of the mistakes you would expect a rookie to make.
-He's not very big, so bigger wrestlers will have an easier time with him.
Other Information: This'll be updated as necessary.
