Well, there we go @Bluetommy, a fightman for the fight thing.
Name: Housen
Age: 27
Birthdate: December 12th
Gender: Male
Nationality: Japanese
Height:
6ft2
Weight:
225 pounds
Fashion Sense:
Housen’s regular outfit is a pastiche of japanese combat culture, starting at his ninja-like metallic mask and kabuki inspired facepaint and going from there, with the lower half being a pair of black tights somewhat resembling motorcycle gear paired with kneepads and tall, tough boots styled after japanese armor. Over this he wears a heavy, thigh-length kimono style jacket cut similarly to the long coats of tokkofuku biker uniforms, its short sleeves sporting reinforced stitching to the shoulders and tied around his biceps with red cloth armbands, that he keeps closed with a dark red sash passed through belt loops at the waist. Light bandaging on the hands and wrists completes the look.
Distinguishing Features:
Already decently tall and sporting a very distinctive look, Housen’s image is further enhanced by sharp bright brown eyes and a decidedly enviable physique. Rather than sport the enormous hyperinflated look typically associated with strength he is built powerfully wiry head to toe, each muscle sharply defined as though he had been cut from marble, and his body sports the telltale conditioning marks, callusing and scarring that mark one as a thoroughbred fighter.

Backstory:
The Phoenix Immortal comes westward!
Many of the world’s toughest men and women call the squared circle, the sacred sport of professional wrestling, their home and their eternal field of battle, and amongst these the sensational asian warrior Housen stands out as a next generation of talent poised to take over the world. And now, after a dominant run in his native Japan, the masked warrior shall set foot in the american mainland for the first time in his career!
The mysterious fighter offers few glimpses of his life outside the mat, even his real name remains unknown, but some information is widely available and presented here for those who do not follow the bustling japanese pro wrestling scene. The man known only as Housen debuted under the mask five years ago but had started training years before this, with his instruction in japanese kempo being a point of pride for the skilled martial artist.
However it was not in Japan but in Mexico, the home of the grandiose, acrobatic spectacle of lucha libre, that the name Housen first surfaced five years ago as the wrestler developed his persona and skills. This first, enormously successful overseas tour included a short stay in Hawaii and saw him become a hot commodity in his home country, kickstarting a top run that has only recently come to an end as the warrior sets his sights on new goals.
Housen has expressed his desire to expand his horizons against new challenges, but has revealed little of his goals and intentions in the United States. For now, there's only one hard truth: Housen's coming to fight.
Abilities:
-Strong Style Champion: To say that Housen is a top class martial artist would be an understatement. Representing the Strong Style of professional wrestling, a japanese form of the discipline that encourages incorporating any and all techniques in a search to create the strongest martial art, he is a barehanded fighter of stunning caliber. Tremendously adaptable and well rounded, commanding both a deep grasp of fundamentals and a spectacular arsenal of unorthodox moves, Housen can do it all: strikes, holds, throws, submissions, the acrobatic flying attacks of lucha libre, all of it with equal excellence in execution.
-Moeru Toukon: Through willpower, fighting spirit, endless training and constant testing of himself in battle, Housen has sharpened himself into an outstanding warrior. As befit a pro wrestler he is impressively strong, though not necessarily an all out power type relative to other bruisers, using an excellent blend of speed, agility, flexibility and stamina to round out his style. He is especially, incredibly tough in particular, tougher than the neglected bastard child of a coffin nail and a cheap steak tough, equally durable mentally and quite capable of dealing with magic assaults and the like to take to current battlefields and remain competitive.
-Dramatic Ninja: Though it will end in a direct face to face confrontation nearly every time, Housen is quite capable of displaying excellent stealth skills should the situation demand it. Tailing targets, sneaking about, disappearing at the blink of an eye or turning up unnoticed in the most unexpected locations, all done to set up a dramatic entry.
Equipment:
-The Mask: A genuine article, legitimate modern day ninja craftsmanship (or close enough that it can feasibly be presented as such), it hides the identity, protects the face, and wards off breathable dangers without encumbering proper breathing. Are those last two parts really necessary? Probably not, not particularly, but it’s good to have either way.
-The Tokkofuku: Housen refers to his clothes as a tokkofuku, a “special attack uniform”, and it lives up to the lofty term. Nevermind that it’s really just what bosozoku biker gangs call their uniforms. The costume’s especially made to withstand the wear and tear a professional wrestler in this world might find on the road and he has spares just in case.
I'll show you the strength of a pro wrestler!

Personality Questions:
-You lost a fight, what are you going to do about it?
“Hah, in the ring we settle things best of three! Ready for round two?”
-What's your worst nightmare?
“Hmmm, probably not drawing a dime. Sure, unbeatable opponents or crippling damage, those are always there, but not having that rush of the audience...if you’re good at what you do people ought to care even when you can’t do it anymore.”
-Are you a bad person?
“I’m not a bad guy. I’m not a good guy. I’m THE guy.”
