How you heard about Ascended Wrestling: Ritualistic human sacrifice of Dan Lambert
Character Info
Name: Nicholas Tollman
Nicknames: "The Denver Demon", "Malicious"
Age: 23 (June 5, 1998)
Height: 6'0
Weight: 233 lbs.
Hometown: Denver, Colorado
Alignment: Tweener [Chaotic Neutral]
Likeliness to break the rules or cheat: A win is a win.
Bio: Nicholas was raised in the Five Points neighborhood in Denver, Colorado. Though his parents tried their best to keep their son safe from the dangers that came with living in one of the more dangerous areas in the US, it wasn't quite enough to keep Nicholas from getting involved in illicit activities. From a young age Nicholas had to learn how to fight and as the years passed, it turned from a necessary skill into an outlet and form of enjoyment. In his later teens he was able to turn that love into a lucrative activity; his underground prizefights eventually led to an AW scout reaching out with an offer to compete in a more professional manner.
Face Claim: Pete Dunne
Cast
Lauren McAdams
Lauren is the long-time and now live-in girlfriend of Nicholas. The pair met in school and instantly clicked; though they have a romantic relationship, they've never applied a definitive label.
Tim Lovecraft
Timothy helped get Nicholas' foot in the door when it came to lucrative fighting. He's known for booking smaller and legitimate combat sport outings, but he'll often set up shop in less-frequented parts of the Denver area in order to host cards that aren't within the athletic commission's guidelines. These bouts tend to bring in a bigger audience and more cash than their sanctioned counterparts. In addition, he's become Nicholas' business manager for all the right reasons, we're sure.
Ben Wheeler
Nicholas' best friend who's been openly skeptical of Tim's insertion into Nicholas' business affairs. He means well, but often speaks before he thinks.
Attire
In-Ring
The standard ring gear consists of a singlet that's cut like trunks at the legs and feature a stripe on either side that runs from under the arm to the hip with thinner accent striping framing the sides. "TOLLMAN" is spelled out across the lower back in a grunge-style font with a thin outline. At the base of the left shoulder strap on the front of the singlet sits a full face oni mask patch. His typical boot setup features kickpads and kneepads that sit snug to the top of the boot/kickpad combination. His wrists are typically taped.
The usual color variations are:
• Purple main (Singlet), white secondary (striping and lettering), gold tertiary (bordering)
• Firebrick main (Singlet), black secondary (striping and lettering), white tertiary (bordering)
• Black main (Singlet), grey secondary (striping and lettering), royal blue tertiary (bordering)
• Boots, kickpads, and wrist tape are consistently black.
Entrance
Nicholas usually wears an opened zip-up hoodie and a backwards flat-brimmed hat. The hoodie is almost always black and and the hat is always a piece of Colorado Avalanche merch.
Street
Some variation between jeans or shorts with a band tee and his Avalanche hat.

Entrance
Entrance Music: "Of the Abyss" by Lorna Shore
Ring Entrance Notes:
STANDARD
As the booming chorus that opens [url=https://youtu.be/KAJhswlEdTo]Lorna Shore's "Of the Abyss"[/url] fills the air, it shares occupancy with smoke on the stage. The lights in the building go out, save for a few that hold a glowing white hue on the rigging around the curtain that illuminates the smoke from behind. At the twenty second mark, "To The Hellfire" picks up in gear and the lights return with a murky red tinge. From behind the curtain and through the smoke steps Nicholas Tollman.
[color=#B22222]"Misbegotten world
Inconsequential fate
Accept your prophecy"[/color]
[b]KEVIN KIM:[/b] On his way to the ring weighing in at two hundred and thirty three pounds - he is "The Denver Demon", Nicholas Tollman!
The lights pulse with the rhythm of the music as Nicholas starts down the ramp. His focus is fixed on the ring so much so that he doesn't acknowledged the fans at ringside that have reached out towards him, even if they manage to make contact. Once at the ring he opts for the ring steps and after a few paces onto the apron, he slides himself between the top and middle rope. Nicholas doesn't even waste energy in pandering to the crowd once he's got both feet in the ring; instead he takes to his corner and discards his entrance gear while the lights return to normal and "Of the Abyss" fades from the PA.

The lights pulse with the rhythm of the music as Nicholas starts down the ramp, dragging his strap along with him. His focus is fixed on the ring so much so that he doesn't acknowledged the fans at ringside that have reached out towards him, even if they manage to make contact. Once at the ring, he tosses the belt towards the center then opts for the ring steps. After a few paces onto the apron, he slides himself between the top and middle rope. Nicholas doesn't even waste energy in pandering to the crowd once he's got both feet in the ring; instead he snatches his belt from the mat, takes to his corner, discards his entrance gear, and hands his belt off to the timekeeper while the lights return to normal and "Of the Abyss" fades from the PA.
