    Background

    Ernesto Castel grew up poor in Paraguay. His parents were farmers and barely kept their family feed. Ernesto unlike his siblings grew into a strong muscular man. A traveling wrestling promoter broke down outside the Castel farm, and took one look at Ernesto who was chopping firewood and instantly knew the boy would make a great wrestler. Ernesto was sixteen at the time. He was also developing super-human strength at the time.

     

     

    The promoter gave Ernesto his mask and costume, and a year later he was headlining in Mexico City as the El pingüino de Paraguay or the Penguin of Paraguay. Ernesto proved to be quite the success, making the promoter quite rich. When the Ultimate Uberworld Wrestling Confederation was formed Ernesto was invited to join. His promoter tried to discourage Ernesto, but he was sure it was be his big break. Now Ernesto is wrestling with the most powers professional wrestlers in the world. El pingüino de Paraguay is going to make his mark.

     

    Personality

    Ernesto is a cocky young man who doesn’t think twice about showing off how great he can be. This has gotten him into trouble in the past. His bout with Anaconda left him in the hospital for six weeks.

     

     

    Ernesto has developed a passion for wrestling. He has few hobbies outside of his sport. Ernesto rarely waits for a bout to start; instead coming in with feet a flying.

     

     

    For all of his bravado, and his superhuman strength Ernesto hasn’t ever killed anyone. He isn’t planning on starting any time soon. Of course a few of his opponents in the past have tried to end his career, but El pingüino de Paraguay always seems to come out on top.

    Powers

    Ernesto is a gifted professional wrestler whom has been wrestling for several years now. He’s a wily fighter with a lot of different moves. As El pingüino de Paraguay, Ernesto fights in the style of Lucha Libre, or in a fast flying style of professional wrestling.

     

     

    Ernesto is superhumanly strong and resilient. These are his only real superpowers. However, coupled with his wrestling moves, makes him a daunting foe. Over the years Ernesto has developed a few wrestling moves from his Pingüino Jump Kick, in which he climbs to the top rope before leaping at his opponents delivering a crushing kick to his Pingüino Backbreaker, where he throws an opponent across his shoulders and then pulls down on their legs and neck causing a lot of pain to the opponents back.

     

     

    Ernesto also is quick footed, and wears a reinforced costume. In addition he wears a mask that protects him from flash attacks.

     

    Appearance

    Ernesto wears a skintight costume that covers his entire body, except for his head. The costume is mostly black with a white part running from his throat to his boots, making him look like a penguin. His boots are yellow. On his head he wears a mask that is vaguely bird like that is black like his costume with a yellow beak.

     

     

    Outside of his El pingüino de Paraguay persona, Ernesto is muscular man with dark skin and curly brown hair. Ernesto likes to wear flashy clothing along with a lot of jewelry. He has been successful at the professional wrestler business for years.

    I'm currently watching an anime called "Rosario+Vampire", in which a human boy attends a school populated by monsters. I took the liberty of doing two of the other students.

     

    Kurumuru: She's a succubus

    I know I must be sounding like a fanboy at this point but I do wish people would stop judging Heroes as if it were comic television show. It has roots in superhero comics (and I think it offers up nods to them and doesn't smear them like so many "modern" supers stories do) but it's doesn't seem to be written as a superhero story but a people with powers story. The two styles are related but not quite the same thing.

     

    You know this go me thinking about a show that was on awhile back called Earth2, real sci-fi stuff. However, the really interesting thing was that the writers didn't have a background in sci-fi, but in soap operas. And I thought it was a great show. So just because a person doesn't have a background in what they're writing doesn't mean it's going to be bad. I'm a big fan of Heroes and can't wait until September.

  4. A few years ago I wrote an NPC named Major American, who was a pro wrestler turned super-hero. Recently I got thinking about returning to that idea, a wrestling group made up of super powered wrestlers. I came up with a few ideas. Do anyone else have any ideas for super powered wrestlers. Heels and Faces welcome.:)

     

    Anyways, here's a few drawings of ideas I came up.

     

    The Foreigner-The ultimate bad guy. Who knows what country this heel comes from but he spits on all of us God fearing Americans. Booo!

     

    Red Lucha-A high flying luchador from South of the Border. Look at him fly...

     

    Hannibal the Cannibal-Watch out for those teeth.

     

    Mr. Slappy-This clown isn't too funny.

    Mmm, the guy just put up the Brute Archetype

     

    Behold, my American Patriot who can never go home again, and is deformed into a monstrosity...both due to a curse.

    The press knows him as

    "The Ugly American"

     

    The hair and horns are supposed to be somewhat merged, the horns being more rhino like in structure.

     

    Ookla the Mok???:eek::eek:

    "Wow!

    With a step to your left and a flick to the right

    You catch that mirror way out west

    You know you're something special and you look like you're the best.

     

    Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand.

    Just like that river twisting through a dusty land.

    And when she shines she really shows you all she can

    Oh Rio Rio dance across the Rio Grande.

     

    I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on T.V.

    Two, of a billion stars, it means so much to me

    Like a birthday or a pretty view

    But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you

     

    Hey now (wow), look at that. Did he really run you down?

    At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive you make me feel

    alive alive alive

     

    I'll take my chance 'cause luck is on my side

    I tell you something I know what you're thinking

    I tell you something, I know what you're thinking

     

    Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

    Just like that river twists across a dusty land.

    And when she shines she really shows you all she can.

    Oh Rio Rio dance across the Rio Grande

    Her name is Rio she don't need to understand

    I might find her if I'm looking like I can

    Oh Rio Rio hear them shout across the land

    From mountains in the North down to the Rio Grande"

    Here's a group I'm currently working on called the Provos. They are a band of Irish super-villains who didn't agree with the IRA making peace with the Brits.

     

    BTW-The uniform worn by Holligan is based upon the rugby uniform worn by the Cork Constitution, an Irish rugby team.:)
