Personality (His personality and gimmick if he has
one):  The man known only as Tasogare no Prince -- The
Prince
of Twilight --  has spent his adult life in pursuit of
what he refers to as his "Destiny."  However, just
precisely what that Destiny is, is apparently known
only to him.  the Prince chooses to maintain an air of
mystery about him at all times, something he picked up
while training in Mexico and seeing the luchadores who
even kept their masks on in public outside of the
wrestling arenas.  He literally lives his character
and some even wonder if he truly believes that he is
the chosen of Destiny!

Theme Music:  Tasogare no Prince enters the arena to
calm, sombre, yet somehow soothing cello music that
brings to mind images of flower petals, borne gently
on the wind, tumbling across the Twilight sky.

Ring Entrance: (Write this out in the [ ] format, this
will be copied and pasted when your
wrestler is introduced on the show)

[Calm and somewhat sombre cello music plays, as the
arena's lights dim.  Purple, pink, and blue spotlights
come on, giving the inside of the arena the appearance
of the evening sky at sunset. Through the curtains,
Tasogare no Prince strides smoothly and confidently.
He pauses at the top of the ramp for a moment,
smelling the white orchid in his right hand and
smiling to himself.  His eyes appear to be almost
closed as they walk slowly and gracefully to the ring,
enjoying the orchid's fragrance as he does.  Upon
reaching ringside, he pauses and smiles at the young
girls at ringside which scream his name.  He steps
towards them, and presents the orchid in his hand to
one of them.  As she looks up at him in a mixture of
gratitude and admiration, he leans forward and kisses
her gently upon her forehead.  He then climbs into the
ring and takes off his long purple trenchcoat to
reveal a thin, yet well muscled frame.  He smooths his
silver hair, which goes straight down his back between
and past his shoulder blades, and turns to face his
opponent...]

History (Backround information):  Tasogare no Prince,
the Prince of Twilight, made his
debut in the now defunct WHCW, where he quickly rose
in the ranks to become that federation's Cruiser
Weight champion.  After holding that belt for about 2
months, he left WHCW in search of greener pastures.

He ended up in IWC, and was one of the main reasons
for the introduction of a Cruiser title in that
federation.  Although he failed in his quest to become
the first IWC Can-Am champion, he suceeded in
obtaining the belt after almost 2 months of constant
battles with the champion, the only man to beat him in
Cruiser weight competition in that federation thus
far.  After holding the belt for almost 2 months,
during which time he defended it on an almost weekly
basis, he lost the belt, and left the IWC to join the
re-opened Super Japan Pro Wrestling.

Upon his debut there, he was immediately entered into
the tournament to crown the promotion's first ever
Welterweight Champion, a tournament he went on to win.
After holding that title for almost 3 months, he lost
it to his bitter rival, Yukio Murakami.

After the closing of SJPW, the Prince kept out of the
public spotlight for several months.  He began taking
students and training them.  His 2 most gifted
students, Tooga and Sayonjii, now wrestle as part of
his stable, the Shadow Dynasty, as the tag team known
as the Bishonen.  The Prince is now ready to return to
action as the leader of the Shadow Dynasty and obtain
the status that he feels has eluded him for too long.

Eventually, the Prince returned to action in UEW,
leading a heel faction known as the Kageouchou, or
"Shadow Dynasty."  His students, the Bishonen,
established themselves as both the TV and Ultimate Tag
titles, and the Prince wasted no time in becoming the
fed's Cruiserweight champion, a belt he went on to
retire.  He then became the fed's Television champion,
and was pursuing it's American title when that august
organization finally closed its doors.  Since then,
the Prince has stayed out of the spotlight, waiting
for the proper moment to fulfill his Destiny...


Wrestling Style: (Multiple styles are okay just don't
over-do it)  The mysterious man known only as Tasogare
no Prince, is the epitome of cruiser weight wrestling.
He has obviously trained in both Mexico and Japan,
and
combines the best elements of both styles in the ring.
He feels that only the type of wrestling he embodies,
namely, high-flying, high-risk, acrobatics, is worthy
of any mention, and frowns on wrestlers who rely
solely upon strength and power.

Three Strengths:

1) Tasogare no Prince's major advantage is his uncanny
natural sense of balance.  He can land on his feet
easily from backdrops and other moves which take him
off his feet.
2)He is also deceptively strong for his build, able to
lift opponents much bigger than him.
3)Tasogare no Prince is at home on the top turnbuckle
and ropes, and almost never falls or is knocked off
them.

Three Weaknesses:

1) He is obsessed with maintaining an air of mystery
about him at all times
2) Tends to underestimate opponents who do not wrestle
the same style he does, thinking other styles are
inferior to his own.
3) Tasogare no Prince is convinced that he has
knowledge of his own "destiny" and knows that he will
eventually achieve all that he wants.  This sometimes
causes him to overlook opponents since he feels he
cannot possibly lose to them.
