The Engineer (Persona/Virus)

Cody Fern as Michael Langdon





Wrestling Style: Pure striker, hits hard, fast, and repeatedly and then escapes. Repeat until opponent is lifeless. However, since the introduction of the Engineer persona, snap surprise submission holds have become more commonplace

Strengths: Ludicrous striking ability, especially considering The Engineer's outward appearance and age. Dextrous and extremely fast.

Weaknesses: Power and brute strength is nil, needs to keep distance from strong opponents.

Entrance Theme Music: “Botanica de Los Angeles” by Xiu Xiu



Entrance Description:
The arena goes antiseptic white, almost blindingly so, as the ominous opening notes to “Botanica de Los Angeles” hit. The main screen goes black though with nothing but the words “run engineer.exe” on them in blood red lettering that looks like computer code. Suddenly, that gives way to a strange inverted triangle, a brief flash of the words “Vox Aeterna”, and then as the music starts to kick into higher gear the Engineer appears at the top of the ramp as the bright white light starts to get pock marked with specks of red that race over the crowd. Madison Dyson appears next to him, jawing with fans and generally being a huge bitch. The main screen intersperses shots of The Engineer in action in the ring, cut with red lines of computer code, that strange triangle mark, and the words “Vox Aeterna” flashing like a subliminal message.

The Engineer walks calmly to the ring, title slung over his shoulder with Madison in tow. He will usually be wearing black lipstick, a trace of red or black eyeliner, and his curly hair will be pulled back from his scalp. When he gets to the ring, he'll slide in under the bottom rope, crawling towards a camera at apron level. When he gets close to it he'll smile playfully and whisper “How do you want me?” in time with the music before kipping up to his feet and waiting for the action to start.

Black Blood: Much like the previous Engineer, this incarnation of The Engineer is also able to produce a black acidic substance.
