[hider=Hawke Grisham, the Wrestler][h3][i]"It's time! The hero has come back to Pyramid City!"[/i][/h3] [Human] [u][b]Data[/b][/u] [hider=Appearance][img]http://i.imgur.com/pfC0tDC.jpg[/img][/hider] [b]Name: [/b]Grisham, Hawke [b]Nicknames:[/b] “The Next Hercules” / “Brokest Back of the Ring” / “The Son of Heras By The Flesh Reborn” / "The Self-Proclaimed Television Hero" [b]Occupation:[/b] A soon-to-be wrestler inspired by his heroes… yet, he never seems to see the light of fame even through a series of miraculous events that could’ve made him famous. He works as a troubled part-timer who can’t find the right job… until he finds out about some interesting troubles arising around Pyramid City. [b]Faction:[/b] “The Constantinople Duo!,” or at least, that’s what Hawke calls it whenever he goes out for groceries with Bang Constantine. In reality, he’s technically independent like Bang. [b]Nationality:[/b] Greece [b]Age:[/b] 26 [b]Gender:[/b] Absolutely Male [b]Blood Type:[/b] O [b]Biography:[/b] There was once a day and age where Corum Nobis- an organization that had long fallen into silent obscurity- had publicly stated its strong hatred for the rise of Espers and Magicians amongst normal human beings. Leading a battalion of projects meant to potentially stop such powers from going out of control, the entire organization itself fell apart and almost became like a terrorist organization. Monstrosities left its gates, and, attracted by the chaos such failed projects brought upon communities, Clowns gathered and further worsened the effect. A good chunk of them scattered into the grounds of Greece and took advantage of everyone’s lack of familiarity with them there. A wrestler dubbed Hercules emerged on a massively known wrestling ring- the Neo-Coliseum- one day as he proclaimed that he would take on ALL kinds of opponents, including those who were truly dangerous even outside of the wrestling scene. The people of Greece held their hopes low when he proclaimed that he could defeat anything in his way, but they soon cheered him on as he made efforts into actually helping the people of Greece. He challenged the Clowns and even criminals who had already been lurking in the country as he invited them to an empty Neo-Coliseum. There, a live broadcast showed off Hercules defeating every challenger without a single scratch getting on him. His Esper power allowed him to go far, but not until he met his strongest opponent yet! What truly received everyone’s attention was his duel with an incredibly odd composition of metal and flesh- one of the cancelled prototypes of Corum Nobis’ ATLAS projects. Standing his ground against what appeared to be one of the Espers’ most competent enemies, Hercules tore its metal arm off as he defeated the mechanical monster- in front of the camera! Greece was filled with hope, and people not only labelled him as a hero, but also inspired people to further strengthen the country’s plans on preventing such invasions from happening again. By the time Hercules cut the camera, which was set up by himself, the hero fell and bled to death, for the monstrosity had done its toll on him. Hawke Grisham happened to be passing by when he spotted the Neo-Coliseum in shambles. Confused, he rushed in and found Hercules in his last breaths. He had been a huge fan of the wrestler, and considering that he was a maniac when it came to loving wrestling, Hawke was heartbroken at the sight of a hero fallen. The man handed Hawke the robotic arm he used to slay ATLAS and told him to keep it safe. Before Grisham was able to ask why, however, the hero closed his eyes. Hawke now resides in Japan, participating in community service activities once in a while as he lives in a rather shabby apartment. He made some good friends there, including a boxer whose fame was not in danger and kind neighbors, but alas, he could not help but wonder what Hercules meant when he entrusted the arm to him. Times seemed to have changed once more, however, as odd activities began to brew around Pyramid City… And this seems to have stirred the once inactive relic back to life. Believing that he must carry out the legacy of one of modern Greece's fallen heroes, Hawke Grisham decides he must make his debut to the world as soon as possible. The question was [u]how[/u]... [b]Personality:[/b] Hawke can become almost painfully loud when he gets excited, and tends to be fueled by people who cheer him on even by small amounts. Being ignored by others pains him, but that never stops Hawke from being the outgoing and naively trusting man he is. While he does claim that he has a heart that greatly resembles a merciless hero’s, as a wrestling fan who has done tryouts for pro wrestling, he understands what it’s like to pretend to be in pain and actually inflicting real damage on others. Challenging him may put him on the edge of excitement, but the thought of wounding people is a pretty hard one to get across to him. He may be very childish in his own right, but he is one of the few people who hides very little-if not all- secrets from others. When he's alone, he studies random things to keep himself not as stupid as people think he is. Not that it changes a lot of things, but it's the thought that counts. [u][b]Quirks[/b][/u] Likes: Hawke loves attention, and he’d try to do anything for any fans he happens to make if they request of him to do something. His favorite kind of role to play ever since he watched wrestling shows was the role of a “hero,” and receiving compliments easily makes him a happy man. Dislikes: Being called a “villain” easily triggers Hawke due to his love for not only his country, but helping people in general. He can also easily be angered if someone calls him stupid for not knowing certain things that are completely out of his league. [u][b]Talents[/b][/u] [b]Skills:[/b] As a wrestling fan with above-average wrestling skills, he’s great at… wrestling. Fortunately for him, his wrestling style is based on actual combat wrestling despite having its own quirky flashiness to it. Hawke can practically blaze through crowds of people due to his crowd-controlling grapple attacks, thus making him incredibly useful when facing enemies such as Clowns or unidentified human targets. He does not have any specific immunities to Esper or magic powers, thus making him susceptible to such attacks. Unique to Hawke is the super-powered arm he carries around, which is what truly makes him special during combat. The hidden power of a prototype ATLAS machine still residing in it, the ATLAS arm, which he dubs the “Power Glove,” has enough power to supercharge itself and withstand supernatural attacks, even if Hawke himself isn’t. Its power is not to be trifled with due to the raw power it has, and for some reason, it only allows Hawke to wear it. Hawke can usually be seen lugging this arm around on his back, as it is about three times the size of his muscular arm. Hawke also has the unique ability to turn any kind of surrounding into some sort of wrestling scenario: if there are ladders, he will gain access to overhead attacks that are guaranteed to cause a shockwave when he lands with the Power Glove, and if there are chairs, he can kick them as if they were projectiles. Some of his clear weaknesses include, but are not limited to, a lack of an actual ranged attack aside from gapclosing dashes and the lack of immunity against Esper and magic attacks, despite the Power Glove itself being quite resistant to such abilities.

Bang is so far one of the few non-Espers who has defeated Espers head-on without knowing it.[/hider]
