Character Info
Name: Roy Valentine
Age: 32 (probably)
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 219
Hometown: Cape Elizabeth, Maine, USA
Alignment: Heel
Likeliness to break the rules or cheat: Valentine will do anything to retain his image. If he's losing, he'll happily bite, gouge eyes, target old injuries, or perform some illegal move to turn the fight in his favour. Valentine loves to antagonize those who aggravate him, and will perform back rakes or four-count holds against opponents who he believes have embarrassed him. While Valentine has gone on record admonishing cheaters, he's not opposed to interference from his allies in the form of secreted weapons and referee distractions to maintain or regain momentum in a match.
Bio:
From atop his cliffside estate in the coastal rainforest of Washington, Roy Valentine plots to become the undisputed lord and master of the Ascended ring.
The Valentine family name (by Roy's account) descends from French landed nobility, and its halls are filled with adventurers and scholars of global renown: from the humble Lord Henri Valentine, poet and peer to Byron and Shelley; to the nazi-hunting abbess Lady Isabella Valentine, the Wicked Angel of Auvergne. Today, the Valentine family has the decorative and naturopathic botanicals markets cornered in a wide host of states - a floral empire on which Roy rides high. Roy himself made a name on the New England circuit as an enigmatic playboy with an elite clique of the federation's upper crust, winning crowds with his shows of strength and shining smile. Business and climate eventually brought him to Washington, where he continued his life of posh hedonism and domination of the regional amateur league. Valentine regularly hosts private soirées for his entourage, and they are always seeking worthy members; for although Roy pines for the Emerald City belt, what he truly desires is immortal stardom among Ascended's greatest... and for that, he needs strong allies. After all, every King needs his Court.

Entrance Music:
Four Seasons (L'inverno, Winter), Vivaldi - Metal cover by Marcin Jakubek
Ring Entrance Notes:
Heavy operatic guitar blares through the stadium. The screen follows a trail of twisting, thorny vines as they wind over a pitch-black floor towards the foot of a marble throne. As the thorns begin to engulf the stone, the camera rises to reveal Roy Valentine lying sideways across his marble seat, legs pitched over its arm. The plants trace a deferential space around Valentine, but utterly consume every inch of bare throne. When the vines finally stop twisting, Valentine snaps his fingers, and the all-encompassing wall of green bursts into bloom, red and gold roses spelling out the name, “ROY VALENTINE”.
Valentine then makes his entrance in the flesh, accompanied by his ever-steely assistant Anastasia Keller. Tonight, no shower of petals greets them. There is neither fanfare nor grandstanding. Standing stone-faced in a sable suit of cashmere with accompanying crimson tie, Valentine soaks in the spiteful crowd. Behind Valentine, Keller unclasps a hidden seam in the suit. Both jacket and shirt split and shed off smooth. Valentine dismisses Keller with a snap of his fingers, then struts to the ring, sneering at jeering fans, brushing their hatred away with a wave of his hand. His body language speaks of leashed ferocity, all slow breaths and quick motions between pauses, as he takes his corner of the mat.
