NOTE: As I said at the end of this, this is a very long post, but I wanted to cover all of the characters that were important to me, and that covers a lot of ground over a decade and a half. If you don't have the time, I totally understand, but if ya do, thanks for reading.

Take care.


I chose 'Boogieman' by Twiztid after thinking about a few others, of course some Manson songs were in the mix. But I settled on Boogieman because, for one thing, it's a song one of my best friends loves and she thought it'd be perfect for the character. We both especially love the chorus. Also, it just covers his dark gimmick, and how he and his friend/manager Alice are different from the norm. For my old character raYne [which many people here know infamously]... I used stuff like "Believe" by Cher, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper, "Rain" by Madonna, "Can't Stop the Rain" by Kropp Circle and "Return to Innocence" by Enigma. He's basically me amped up; a bi-sexual, androgynous, free-spirit who's "fierce" and isn't ashamed to be who he is, so anything that fits that I'd choose. On the flip-side, he had an alter ego, Reeve, who was the darkness to Rayne's llght. "Dope Show" by Manson, "Shout 2000" by Disturbed, "I Hope You Suffer" by AFi, just a handful of his themes...

I also used myself as a character early on, using my school nickname I had used for my comics in the school newspaper; $hane-o-mac Bry, who's namesake was of course Vinny-Mac's son, Shane McMahon. He used "Back in Black" by AC/DC mainly cuz his stable was the sWo and, due to the black and white scheme among other things, it just fit somehow. He als used "Come With Me" by Puff Daddy, "Money" by Pink Floyd, and a couple of others. I had a character named Viruz who had Hayabusa (R.I.P.) as his pic base, and as he was a hacker, he used both "Reload" by Rob Zombie and "Twisted Transistor" by Korn as themes.

Another of my characters, Axl VanHalen, started off as what was basically the gimmick of a poor man's Vinnie Lane (of course using "Welcome To The Jungle", what else :^P )... but he shed that and became a goth poser (this was all in a parody fed called Brawlers on a Budget, so of course the gimmicks were jokes, until...) ...he shed the false images and became his true self, a grungey, Raven-esque type of guy who had a serious edge to him. He started using "Do You Call My Name" by Ra, and focused on himself, instead of the people. He took on a manager named Tifa Bon Jovi (who took her name from, well, you know >_< ) and she became his corner stone, his rock. She led him to a World Title, and this parlayed into a relationship, which in turn led to the two of them bringing in two of their friends, Kevin Slash and Bing O. Hall, who call themselves the "WildSiderz" after the song by Motley Crue whch again, of course, they use as a theme song.

Collectively they referr to themselves as the Crue World Order, who use "Hero" by Skillet as a team theme and travel globally working for indies as a 'World Tour'. Tifa uses "Fight Like A Girl" by Emilie Autumn, and Axl now uses "Save Us" by Mushroomhead. Another character I played here in XWF for a bit, Jack Hoff, used "Bawitabah" by Kid Rock, and raYne's cousin, snOw, used "Are We All We Are" by P!nk originally, "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks sometimes, and "Weatherman" by Dead Sara other times. Her girfriend "MuddaFukkin'" Martha Faulken uses "Poison" by Alice Cooper, and Tifa [who is also a member, as she is raYne's best frend and snOw trained her] uses "F.L.A.G." as well as sometimes "Die For You" by Megan McCauley;



And finally, I have a character named JJ Mynuz, who's the only cardboard record selling artist. Meaning he sold one copy... to himself. Though, he's also the only character other than Reeve and Axl who I've led to a World Title. In my first fed no less, way back around 2002 or so. His theme was "X Gonna Give it to Ya", as DMX has always been one of my fave 'current gen' rappers. I've had a few other characters other than these, but these are the main ones that pop into my mind. I know this was a long post, but I just knew I'd have to mention all of my main characters to show how diverse both my character array and taste in music are. Normally I'd post all the vids but that'd have to take up some bandwidth. >.< Sorry if this is too long, trying to work on that. :^/

Peace. ^.^
