Height: 5'9"

Weight: 175 pounds

Hometown: Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England

Backstory/Important Character Details: Sir Lionel Pennyfarthing was once the most prestigious stage actor in London (at least, according to his Wordpress blog)…

Unfortunately, he rolled the dice investing all his cash into a self-produced version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats where he played all the Cats. He insisted on delivering his line as one Cat, leaving the stage, wiping off all makeup, applying new makeup as a second character, going back on stage, delivering the next line, and repeat for every bit of dialogue.

The show as-is took 57 hours.

Disgraced and humiliated, he was completely unable to find work on the stages of London theatre, as leading man, supporting actor, extra, or even stagehand!

Desperate, he begged his agent to find some role... Any role, where he could perform! To regain the stardom he so deserves!

After a phone call and a number of tear-filled voicemails, Lionel's climbing his way back to stardom, performing on the largest stage of them all… the wrestling ring of the XWF!

Strengths: Charisma, Performance checks, Enthusiasm, Commitment to any Role, including this one as XWF wrestler!

Weaknesses: ...Might not actually know how to wrestle. Or that this is real.

Entrance Theme Music (Provide YouTube link as well as name and version):

Ring Entrance (PLEASE write one out for use in match/show writing):

Lionel prances to the ring, dressed straight out of an off-Broadway production of Hamlet.

He does vocal exercises as he strides confidently down the ramp. He steps up the ring steps, and takes into the ring, doing a series of deep knee-bends in the corner as he waits for the show to commence.

In-Ring Style (Technician? High Flyer?): Consummate professional

10 or More Standard Moves:
Dramatic turn to Stage Left
Cheat-out to the Audience
Subtly Turn Face to Contrast Shadow, Appearing More Villainous
Monologue Quietly to Draw the Audience's Attention
Facial gestures that make his sorrow and anguish clear to the back of the theatre arena.

Trademark Move Name(s): Grotowski technique
Description(s): Lionel, mid-performance, loses himself and becomes the role, fully embodying the character. In doing so, he reveals a subtle truth about himself and humanity at large.

Finishing Move Name(s): Curtain Call
Description(s): Lionel bows, having successfully delivered the performance of a lifetime.

Favorite Hardcore Attacks/Spots: Willing to perform nude theatre.

Additional Notes (What are some things that they would ALWAYS do? Or would NEVER do?): He would NEVER break character! And he would always ask how attendance is at the theatre. Given that XWF shows are constantly sold to capacity, he will be quite pleased, convinced that they're here for him.
