He does this so he can mold the way he wrestles to whoever his opponent is. He could easily be hoping off a turnbuckle or locking someone down on the ground to wear them out. He's also very flexible and can move in ways most can't. He uses his body type to his advantage and plays with his opponent like they are a toy. He's a master of mind games inside the ring doing whatever he can to freak the Heebie-jeebies out of everyone watching ESPECIALLY his opponent. One thing he commonly does is when he knocks an opponent down he will sometimes lay down opposite the ring of them and mimic every move they make as they get to their feet.

Only uses it when 'inducting' someone to his Coup d'état, or when expelling them from said group. [b]|[u]Theme [/u]|[/b] » Starts with quote from the movie and then [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqydHk_fyVc]Not Gonna Die - Skillet[/url] [b]|[u]Gimmick [/u]|[/b] » The Initiate is not just a person. Not just a wrestler. The initiate is more of an idea. Challenging whatever status quo exist. The Initiate seeks to change the way AWE works by gathering forces to eliminate the current hierarchy and make AWE a true land of opportunity. As of right now though he lies in wait for the trigger that will set off his so-called revolution. His attire is unlike most wrestling attire. His [url=http://nowyld.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/nomads.jpg]attire[/url] is a full body suit without the jacket. He wears the mask and it has black mesh at the mouth and eyes so he can see through. He also wears [url=http://ep.yimg.com/ay/dtdistributors/hatch-sog-hk300-hard-knuckle-operator-gloves-10.gif]gloves[/url]. For his entrance he wears the jacket but without all the logos. The jacket does say Coup d'état on the back of it. [b]|[u]Face or Heel [/u]|[/b] » Depends on the fans. If they want to change things up he's a face. If they like what's going on he's a heel. Some just call him a flip floppy tweener. [b]|[u]Backstage Rep [/u]|[/b] » The thing about having a backstage rep is people have to actually know you. Mathys likes to keep to kayfabe so much that he does what he can to hide his identity. The only people who know his face and name are Roddy, past promoters he's worked under, and whoever Roddy tells him to reveal himself to. He goes to difficult lengths to make sure he is never seen with his mask off at a show or when in the vicinity of the stadium. He also doesn't really talk unless it is to say something weird in regards to starting a revolution. To add more to the effect of his gimmick sometimes he will hide in random places and just appear when people come by. He wants everyone backstage to actually be weirded out by him. He is a method actor so getting others to actually feel a certain way about him, in his eyes, helps them when actually performing a promo or match. He showed up to AWE about five weeks ago but has done nothing other than squash matches when he shows up on air. [b]|[u]Other [/u]|[/b] » Mathys Jacques was and will always be a passionate wrestling fan. As a little boy he watched his father go across the world wrestling just as he watched his father. It was expected of Mathys to follow in his father and grandfathers footsteps. He didn't need their incentive to want to be a wrestler but it definitely didn't hurt. At a very young age Mathys would train with his grandfather rarely letting anything distract him. When his father had a early retirement due to injury Mathys blamed the promotion for hurting his father because of unsafe practices. His father assured him that this was not the case, but Mathys didn't entirely believe him. This was actually how the Initiate persona was created. When Mathys was old and skilled enough he joined the promotion his dad was injured at wearing the mask in front of everyone even the promoter. In this promotion Mathys crafted a gimmick that he only created in spite of the promotion but quickly rose to stardom among the fans. From there bigger and bigger promotions kept trying to get a hold of him because of how easy it was to sell his gimmick. Not to mention the loads of merchandise from selling those ridiculous masks. Promoters wanted him merely for the money factor and not his skills as a wrestler. That's when he went completely of the grid. Well, as the Initiate that is. He went to Mexico under a different name, La Revolución. He fought with no real gimmick under that name because he wanted to hone his craft. Mathys bounced around the luchador scene and was getting tired of the new persona. He started bringing hints of his old gimmick in but made sure it wasn't obvious he was the same guy. Eventually people started catching on though and the stray Initiate mask could be seen in whatever promotion he was wrestling at. That's when he was brought under the radar of AWE. Before it wasn't that big of a thing and was just a way for promoters to rake in some dough, but now that he was even better at his wrestling he felt he was good enough to actually consider himself a wrestler. Far from a household name many people still knew what the Initiate was. So, when he had a meeting with Roderick he decided to put the old mask on and requested to bring the original gimmick back. » FC : Andrew Garfield » Note : His very first debut for his original promotion was on November 5th.[/hider]
