History: Elliot is one of those adults who never really grew up from their childhood. His very first dream ever was to be a superhero, someone who stood up for peace and defended the innocent from nefarious and cunning people. He'd run around his house as a child with a cape, often chasing his poor family cat. He's always perceived them as cool and collects a huge amount of superhero merchandise. As he got older, he took an interest in comics and shounen manga and anime, and soon began cosplaying regularly from his favourite shows. In high school, he often stood up for those who were being bulled...and ended up getting beaten to a pulp himself.

When he left school, he found himself in a dead end office job that seemed determined to sap every ounce of his zeal and passion for life. His workspace was plastered with superhero and sentai posters, reminders of his childhood dream which he often fantasied about. Whilst out drinking after a particularly boring week, he got to chatting with a man who revealed he was part of a pro wrestling company, and that they were looking for someone to fill in the gimmick of a superhero. Intrigued and feeling excitement stir within him, Elliot offered to give the sport a try. Quickly making his own costume, he made his debut in the ring as The Red Sparrow, going up against a much larger, muscular and imposing foe.

The match itself was kind of a blur – a painful one that still causes Elliot to wince every time he recalls it – but even though he lost, he remembered the cheers and appreciation the audience fed him. They adored his silly, energetic persona and the ridiculous poses and monologues he spouted. And Elliot himself found the experience to be a thrilling one, that allowed him to live the dream he had always held close to his heart. So the male decided to continue his career in pro wrestling, proudly embracing his gimmick as a hero of justice within the ring. His techniques and moves left much to be desired, but fans always appreciated his bold and daring nature. When he heard talk of AFW in Japan, a country big on sentai and shounen manga, stars practically glistened in his eyes. Rounding up his belongings, he got on a plane and flew to the land of the rising sun, with the aim of dispensing some justice when he got to the league...

Personality: Something of a man child due to his obsessions with heroes, energy practically explodes off Elliot in droves. He tries to always keep his spirits high, even when on the losing end of a match (which is incredibly common). He finds the idea of cheating and doing dirty tricks abhorrent, and would never perform such a deed. In fact he purposefully seeks out heels who are more than comfortable with such tactics. Elliot also tries to be a model citizen in many ways – if he sees a cat stuck in a tree, he'll clamber up and try to bring it down no matter how hard it scratches him. If he discovers litter on the ground, he'll make certain it goes in the nearest trash can. Although young at heart, he's not stupid. Rather, Elliot is very naïve who believes the first explanation for anything explained to him. He's also very talkative around justice and loves to practise and create new poses for his appearances in the ring.

Do You Even Pose?:

Alternative Gear:

The red hero suits Elliot wears are made from his own design and materials. Due to being made on a budget, many wrestlers will find it easy to tear the costume off Elliot in even one swift motion. This will leave him clad in just his underwear, which he will be hugely embarrassed by.

RP Hooks:
Are you a heel? If so, expect Elliot to challenge you. After all, what does a hero have to do without some villains? Alternatively, are you a wrestler with a superhero gimmick yourself? Elliot's always keen to meet other heroes! And if your character is the type to impart techniques and skills unto others, Elliot will hugely appreciate being given some top tips!

Trivia:
-Elliot chooses not to wear a mask to conceal his identity in the ring. The main reason for this is that he wears his identity as a 'superhero' proudly, and also wants people to be at ease when he flashes them with his plucky grin when he debuts.
-He has two parents and an older sister. While they love him, they also find his superhero obsession to be a little embarrassing.
