Now Kneel!: Against a dazed opponent, Alex will throw an uppercut into the center of his foe's stomach, strong enough to lift everyone except the heaviest targets jump off their feet with the force of the blow before bending over. Then while the victim is doubled over, he puts his hands together for an axe handled smash into the exposed back of the head, leveling them so that they are face down on the canvas, usually on their hands and knees. Usually yells 'Now kneel' while delivering the last strike.

Not Enough...: A demonstration of his ability to take punishment if it means he can get a clean shot on a foe, Alex will expose his head, daring an opponent to hit him usually with either a punch or kick. After taking the strike Alex will reel backwards for a few steps, before suddenly lunging forward with a furious running lariat at an off guard and possibly off balanced foe. So far, in AFW's developmental league, the hardest strike he's shrugged was a quickly delivered superkick. Usually takes a moment or two to collect himself afterwards, depending on the attack he's taken.

Finishing moves:
King's Blade: A running European uppercut. A hard impact finishing strike, usually set up by Alexander running into the ropes to build up speed and momentum before rebounding back at his opponent, throwing himself into a spin as he strikes, getting as much power into the blow as possible!

Subjugator: Lifting a stricken foe onto his shoulders in an Argentine back breaker rack in a display of strength, Alex will then drop down into a sitting position while turning his opponent in midfall, converting the finish into a sitout powerbomb. Although dubbed the Subjugator, he learned the move as the Towerhacker Bomb, made famous by Lioness Asuka, a wrestler whose matches Alexander watched while trying to learn the ins and outs of wrestling.

History/Personality: At first glance, Alex seems imposing, with a thousand yard stare, his natural size and his desire to win at every form of competition in the AFW. Not to say the warrior prince is entirely a facade. But most of it actually stops once he's outside the ring. Once you get past that, you find a friendly soul who likes to cook for and eat with friends. It's just that, after some recent failures, Alex is bound and determined to find success in the wrestling business, within the AFW. And so when he's in the ring, he's there with the sole purpose to win, to prove he's not a failure.

If you told Alex in his youth he would be in the wrestling business, he might have had a good laugh with you. While fun to watch, it wasn't something the young slacker saw himself doing. But life take some strange turns sometimes. Growing up in Honolulu, Alex had the strange feeling of being one of the few Caucasian people living on the island instead of just vacationing. But his father was stationed at Fort Shafter, a US Army base on the island, so Ryan had the distinct pleasure of calling home what others called a paradise. Naturally athletic, Alex played a lot sports during his high school days, mainly football and basketball. But he wasn't exactly the brightest of students. With the exception of history, that was. He found his attention held by warrior cultures such as the samurai, Spartans and Vikings. After he graduated, he seemed ready to spend his days as a professional slacker, drinking the days and partying the nights away while trying to bed any pretty woman or man that caught his eye. But his father put a quick halt to that, kicking him out of the family's home after Alex wound up in jail when a party got way out of hand. With no real alternatives, Alex wound up joining the military, ironically enough. Although he saw no combat action, Alex learned about two things while in the Army that would become passions for him. The first was physical fitness. There was discipline there, structure, and then the reward of both feeling and looking better than you started. And then the second....cooking. While being stationed in various bases around the world, Alex would make it a point to learn about the food culture where he was at.

After a four year tour, and reconciling with his father by apologizing for his former slacker tendencies, Alex borrowed enough money to start a restaurant in Japan, after a brief stint on an airbase there. His thinking was that he could do well making and selling American and other styles of cooking in Tokyo. Unfortunately...he was wrong. There were many with the same idea, many that also knew the ins and outs of Japanese culture and business better than he did. His restaurant failed, but Alex didn't want to return home a failure. He was still in good shape, so he tried male modeling, and found a little more success in that, although his large and muscular frame didn't really mesh with what was in for Japanese male beauty at the time. But during his time there, a photographer referred him to the AFW, a wrestling league that needed, at the very least, fresh pretty potential jobbers to be put up against their talented roster. Running out of options, and money he signed on, but was determined to find success.

Although he had misgivings, Alexander's size and strength, and his military history gave him an advantage in being stronger and tougher than most of the other new faces coming in. The American could take and deliver strong blows and slams, impressing trainers and talent developers. For his part, Alex drew upon his Army background, remembering the grueling basic training let him press on through the AFW's notoriously punishing training programs. He also rediscovered his love of warrior cultures, and became inspired to become become a conqueror, of both the AFW and his failures. After a year in the lower leagues, he has developed enough skill to make it to the main AFW league. Although he's relatively new at the wrestling end of things, he goes through each move in his skillset over and over again, making it hit as hard and be as effective as he can possibly make it. The same work ethic he has in the kitchen and in the gym shine though whenever he's in action, and he's determined to make it in Japan!


 





 

Appearance:



Ring attire, although minus the sword. Removes headpiece, cape and kneeguards before match.
From the AFW Information/Bio Page: There is no shortage of those in the AFW who think they are kings and queens, that to rule is their mandate. But this man aspires to be a conqueror, a warrior king who proves his right to rule through face to face combat. "Only those with true strength should find greatness here. And I will the strongest one here. It doesn't matter if you're man or woman, strong or fast, sensual or brutal, I will best you. If you test me, you will fail, you will kneel, and then you'll call me 'king.'"
