PERSONALITY
Tends to keep himself to himself outside the ring, gets done what needs to be done, then kicks back a little. In the ring, he prefers to remain focused on the match and become noticed through wrestling, rather than talking trash, pandering to the fans and the like, taking a somewhat dim view of those who "take their eye off the ball".
RING ATTIRE
Wrestling trunks with a Scottish themed design, combined kickpads/kneepads with similar designs over plain boots, along with elbow pads and wrist tape. Colour schemes include the Scottish flag, an inverse Scottish flag, and Heart of Midlothian FC. Recently, he has come up with a number of attires themed on his favourite video games as well.
CASUAL ATTIRE
Almost exclusively jeans, sometimes scuffed at the knees a little, with a T-shirt supporting some sort of rock band or other music-related entity, such as Fender. Red Andy-Z Converse shoes or plain black/dark grey trainers. Black hooded top if it's cold.
THEME SONG
GUN - Welcome to the Real World
ENTRANCE
DISPOSITION
Tweener, leaning towards face.
BIOGRAPHY
Nicholas was born in Edinburgh, where he would live for most of his childhood. Unlike most of his school peers, he didn't take much of an interest in sports such as football or rugby, preferring to follow his interest in rock and metal music. It was when he was 14 that he encountered professional wrestling first-hand, attending a small independent show in England, and his interest was captured from that moment on.
Leaving school when he was 16, he initially spent just over a year wrestling in the UK, but then moved to Canada in order to broaden his experiences. However, just after turning 19, Nicholas began to experience pains and stiffness in his left leg near the end of matches. He was later diagnosed with patellar tendinitis, an inflammation of the tendons around the knee joint. He put his wrestling career on hold for a few months while he reucperated from the injury and altered his training regime to prevent it returning.
He later returned to the ring with a slightly altered style and a taped-up left knee underneath his attire, partly in the belief it would help prevent the tendinitis returning, and partly because he just liked the look of it. After a few sporadic appearances for various minor promotions upon his return, he felt he was ready to try his hand at a bigger stage. His first opportunity would be in The Power Plant, where he impressed the more experienced talent in the locker room, but after hearing of Robbie Scott's Gym from O'Ryan James during a PR event, he signed up almost immediately, eager to expand his knowledge of the game.
In his short tenure with The Power Plant, he did not compete for championships, instead engaging in a heated rivalry with fellow newcomer Scythe. This allowed him to both develop his promo style, and learn how to effctively use weapons when required, helping him progress into a more rounded performer. Following The Power Plant's closure, he returned to the independent scene, where he has continued to develop his in-ring style, both facing and learning from some of the more experienced wrestlers in the industry.
WRESTLING STYLE
Predominantly submission and mat-based stuff, generally working over the opponent and softening them up, but with an element of high-flying as well, such as springboard moves and dives to the outside. Can either use his quickness and agility against particularly large opponents, or ground and outpower smaller foes [/center]
