"Professional Wrestler" is generally not the same thing as a "Wrestler", as one is real and one is fake. The occupation titles are unfortunately used interchangeably, so if he were the SHSL "Professional Wrestler", it would imply he was a legitimate wrestler. On the other hand, SHSL Actor, SHSL Charisma, SHSL Grandstander, and SHSL Hype Man all have unfitting connotations, so I went with Swagger.[/hider][b]Gender[/b]: ♂

[b]Backstory[/b]: In his youth, he was an avid fan of professional wrestling. A bit of a mischievous child, he would often mess with fights, at first in minor ways. Since he would regularly attend events, (thanks to his parents both being professional wrestlers) this continued for quite a bit and slowly escalated. By the time he started to cause significant interference with matches, "the Ryder kid" had already gained a reputation for the excitement he induced. Every time he was involved, the matches were guaranteed some sort of subtly provided twist. Since these fights, including their outcomes, are choreographed, it was decided it would be easier to get him in on it rather than deal with a backlash that might occur from banning him. He was still too young to be allowed to wrestle of course, but he was given a wrestling persona, "Seth Ryder", which allowed greater freedom to directly interfere with fights. (For example, from the stage or out of the ring instead of from the stands) He had to abide by the guidelines he was given, but he even pushed the boundaries on that. By the time he was old enough to become a pro wrestler, his character's debut match was already one of the most hyped of the year. While he hasn't been a professional wrestler for long, writers were happy to indulge in his reputation, giving him an undefeated record.

[hider=Flint Asidea][b]Name[/b]: Flint Asidea
[b]Talent[/b]: SHSL Recollector
[b]Gender[/b]: ♂
[b]Appearance[/b]:[img]https://i.imgur.com/W5iYZda.jpg[/img]
[b]Backstory[/b]: Flint has been living as a delinquent his entire life, born into poverty and addiction. In particular, he is addicted to a drug known as "seeds of eden”, a psychoactive drug that induces a feeling of bliss and specific hallucinations. These drugs are special in that they cause the image of "god", beautiful monstrosities, to appear to those affected. Depending on the mix, the god appears differently, but the same mix yields the same visage, even through uses by different people. For reasons not hard to imagine, peddlers of the drug often thinly veil their trade as a religion, each god promising a different method to get their followers to "that special place", as "interpreted" by that god's "prophet".

The religion he was born into was one Flint is not fond of. Worshipping a "wrathful god", the rites carried out by its prophet were violent, and it was in this manner that both of his parents died.

His current religion by contrast, worships a "god of love". Its prophet, his "father" in a financial and religious sense, instead teaching his clients the importance of “saving” others, by “purifying” the “evils” from their household and helping them see “that special place”. Only in saving others from the evils of their household and finding a partner who they can show that special place to can they achieve “salvation”.

Simply put, Flint has been living the life of a thief since birth. He's committed countless petty crimes, never paid much attention during the brief time he was in school and has vivid nightmares whenever he suffers from withdrawal. His "father" has sent Flint to the academy “to further his ability to purify the evils of man" and avoid the legal attention he was threatened with.

[b]Any other information you'd like to share[/b]:
- Flint was sent off with a supply of the drug to use as he saw fit.
- Flint possesses eidetic memory and memorization capabilities consistent with hyperthymesia
- Flint’s talent was first discovered by Hope’s Peak faculty when his “father” managed to sell some of his drawings online for a high price, which Flint often makes in his spare time using his memories, real or hallucinatory.
- Picked up random Latin phrases from his "father". Uses them more often than he should.[/hider]
