Entrance Description:
[div style="text-align:justify;"][span style="font-size:x-small;"]★ We passed upon the stair [/span][/div][font size="1"][div style="text-align:justify;"]We spoke of was and when [/div][div style="text-align:justify;"]Although I wasn't there [/div][div style="text-align:justify;"]He said I was his friend ★[/div][/font][div][font size="1"]
[/font]The whole arena's feed slowly falls into a grayscale. Stepping onto the stage with his head held high, SHIDO makes his appearance to the Elysium audience. His body clashes with the singular lighting fixture hovering above him, making a shadowy figure out of the man. He stands there, solemn in his aura, and slowly brings his head down. SHIDO drives his fingers through his hair, forcing it down for only a moment, an action to tide the storm raging inside of his mind. With a single crack of both sides of his neck, SHIDO starts down the ramp. He flaunts his black jacket white specks polluting the front of it. As he walks with intense purpose, the camera catches the back of his jacket--"Human" is the only word that can possibly describe SHIDO.
[div style="text-align:justify;"][span style="font-size:x-small;"]★ Oh no, not me [/span][/div][font size="1"][div style="text-align:justify;"]I never lost control [/div][div style="text-align:justify;"]You're face to face [/div][/font][div][font size="1"]With the man who sold the world ★
[/font]SHIDO drags himself onto the ring apron, relaxing on it. He lowers his body down, hanging by his arm on the rope. When he hits the apron, he stretches all the way out and slides into the ring. Lying there for only a second, SHIDO shoots back onto his feet with a kip-up. Twirling around, SHIDO finds relaxation in his presence, stopping in the center of the ring. He spreads his arms out for a moment, tilting his head back up. When his arms fall, his head falls, and he stands in the center of the spotlight, of his own reality. From there, SHIDO, the enigmatic figure that he is, readies himself for what is to come.[/div][/div]Gimmick:
SHIDO (noun) - someone who doesn't believe he's human, but someone not of this plane of existence. As such, he sees himself as better than the meager world that humans exist in. In order to convince others, he has to prove such. This has made something truly horrific in the mindset of the formerly homeless man.
Heartless and vain, Shido operates himself via the notion of being above everyone because of his nigh-egocentric mindset. He doesn't talk about the past or does he care about it. With a single glance, one can perceive his individualistic morals, but never truly see or understand what he's thinking. When faced with a foe, it's important to understand that he doesn't see his opponent as anything but a being that stands in the way of his perfect life and goals. Thus, he has a misanthropic view on his fellow co-workers. Beyond that, he's likely to forget the names and faces of people that doesn't get in his way constantly, but even that's not entirely true. He recognizes threats, and proceeds to antagonize and tease them to sadistic levels. A morbid trickster, Shido will fully try to break apart his opponent's mindset throughout a match or a feud to orchestrate his perfect scenario. He's a liar, but not a cheater, seeing no point in doing it unless he truly desires to.
A step away from the Cowardly Heel role, Shido's want to prove himself the best disallows him from taking more dramatic shortcuts, which is one of his key weaknesses. Another weakness of his is his pleasure in harming those he genuinely "sees". If he recognizes you and sees you, then you'll suffer his presence. Him making sure of that makes him untrustworthy in any team situation or social situation. He can work with people, but no one should trust him, because they're mostly right about him. Shido radiates a sinister aura. In the world of professional wrestling, it tells others to be on guard around him.
To fans, it can be even frightening since they never know if he's willing to lash out at them physically or not. Lighter-hearted people may find themselves victims to suggestive situations. He doesn't mind showing that he is tantalized by fighting stronger opponents or painstakingly annihilating his enemies. He licks his lips, makes obscene gestures, and get physically personal with someone (touches their face, run his fingers through long hair, minor signs of morbid affection).
Sometimes, it's almost easier to describe Shido as something not human.
Matches are depicted with him playing a personal nerve with his recognized enemy. In a standard affair, he will spend a good amount of the match "stealing" the pace away from his opponent. He'll let them play their game before taking control with a clever move. That's his primary strength. His perceptive ability outranks many, operating on a NFL quarterback level. However, that shifts him away from being able to dictate a match. He's so used to his style that he doesn't know how to deal with surprises nor those who have perfected their own style. 100% technical wrestlers will always give him trouble since they can disable him over time. He excels against high flyers since they need momentum to beat him. Victory comes for Shido when he can put down his opponent after he shocks them and renders their burst of offense obsolete.
Fighting Style: For a general visualization, he moves around the ring like Tama Tonga, rolling and scooting around to get a better footing against her opponents. On an offensive level, he's very grounded in King's Road wrestling from AJPW. You get slow, methodical, and stiff blows meant to demoralize and show off how much superior he is. The takeaway from this is not the usual establishment of "WOW, HE KICKS REALLY HARD", but more so that he's a scientist in terms of martial arts. Finally, stack on top of the psychological nuances that classic Goldust brought. He's very...personal. He doesn't care for your feelings, but he does like to make you uncomfortable. Feel free to have him get a bit...perverse in his matches. He's a creepy dude.
