[list][*][b][u]Name[/u]:[/b] Beowulf [*][b][u]Gender[/u]:[/b] Male [*][b][u]Appearance[/u]:[/b] [url=http://i.imgur.com/LHc3IQ5.jpg][i]287 pounds of folded steel and sex appeal![/i][/url] [*][b][u]Personality[/u]:[/b] A hotblooded champion who loves his sport and his fans; the quintessential "face" wrestler, really. He doesn't really think things through most of the time and can be a bit boastful about his abilities, though, but aside from his bumbling he's a staunchly good person and has the skills to live up to his own hype. He cares deeply for his fans, and really for most other people, and will go above and beyond the call of duty for them if the need arises (as his promise to defeat the Skullgirl shows). [*][b][u]Abilities[/u]:[/b] Beowulf is... Just a wrestler. A really, really good wrestler strong enough to wrestle giants, but a wrestler none the less. Like all wrestlers, however, Beowulf is powered by [i]hype[/i], and by playing to the crowd (even if said crowd only exists in his head) he can come back from seemingly unwinnable situations and turn them to his favour (he's a face, after all!); as long as he believes his millions of fans are watching him, he feels he can never lose. As his hype builds up, his finishers grow in power, meaning that the longer a fight lasts the more damage he can do. [*][b][u]Equipment[/u]:[/b][list][*]Hurting: A steel chair. Despite being seemingly indestructable, other than that it's just a regular folding steel chair. It hurts to get hit with, though. [*]Grendel's Arm: The undead arm of the Gigan warrior Grendel, who Beowulf defeated in the ring several years ago. Beowulf tends to use it as a bludgeon, or to grabble opponents with.[/list] [*][b][u]Brief Backstory[/u]:[/b] The undefeated champion of the Canopy Kingdom's professional wrestling league, Beowulf became a legend for defeating the Gigan warrior Grendel (and afterwards, Grendel's enraged mother) in the ring, proving that the giants could be defeated by regular humans. Unbeknownst to him, however, the match was rigged and Grendel was drugged to make him easier to beat, something that he never found out until years later when the power of the Skullgirl caused Grendel's severed arm to twitch into undeath. Wishing to be a hero to the Canopians once more, he set out with Grendel's arm and the Hurting, his favourite steel chair, in an attempt to defeat the Skullgirl himself.
