Been waiting a while to open one of these. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask them here.

How did you become so passionate in Graphic and Design things? Lol.

Do you watch other sports beside Soccer? Lol.

Time to ask some questions:

1) (Obligatory) What inspired Harvey's gimmick and why choose to write a character like him over a character like Atilano?
2) If Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne (because I swear you told me you wanted to use him) were not available, who would be Harvey's picbase?
3) What's your favourite Cupcakke song and/or Cupcakke remix?
4) Who do you think should beat Pete Dunne for the PROGRESS Championship (or should he just die with the belt)?
5) Are there any indie wrestlers you want to see in WWE/NXT?
6) Could you ever see Harvey being a face character?
7) What would be your dream wrestling card if you could book any wrestlers from any promotion to be on it?
8.) Who would you most want to fight here in EAW (as Harvey)?

Believe it or not, it was because of e-fedding. A friend of mine (who no longer is involved in efeds unfortunately) would make signatures using free photo editing software like GIMP and Pixlr. I thought that was the coolest shit ever, even though in retrospect, most of his work was placing renders over a Google Images background and god-awful generated text from some website I can't be bothered to remember. Still though, he was friendly enough to teach me how to use Pixlr, and from then on I started making sigs for anyone who asked. TRE was the head of GFX back in a fed known as AWO, his work pretty much inspired me to push myself farther. I've made graphics for about 5 or 6 years, but since the beginning of the year, I think I'm finally at a level where I'm satisfied with my abilities.

Nobi wrote:

Yes, to an extent. I only watch sports whenever my dad is around or when there's a big event such as tonight's Warriors/Cavs game. I watch the Super Bowl every year as well, but I mainly watch for the advertisements and the half-time performance.

What made you want to use Tyler Bate as a picbase?

1) (Obligatory) What inspired Harvey's gimmick and why choose to write a character like him over a character like Atilano?

If his name wasn't so obvious already, Harvey Dent/Two-Face inspired elements of the character. Two-Face has and always will be my favorite comic book character. Like Dent, Yorke had an event that happened in order for him to become the self-proclaimed devil that he is today. I was also inspired to create the character due to my love of sci-fi and crime shows. A while back I binge-watched shows like The X-Files (an all time favorite), Gotham, and Daredevil and was inspired to make the character like your typical antagonist. I chose this character over Atilano Castillos, because simply put, he was easier to write. Writing Harvey as a character that is mentally ill and apathetic was something I could relate to.

2) If Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne (because I swear you told me you wanted to use him) were not available, who would be Harvey's picbase?

Yes, Pete Dunne was my initial choice for Harvey's picbase. I suppose if the two weren't available, I'd use Axel Dieter Jr., although there's not much renders of him available. His mannerisms fit the character in my opinion. Though that means Harvey would lose his curled mustache.

3) What's your favourite Cupcakke song and/or Cupcakke remix?

Not gonna lie, CPR gets a kick out of me every single time. Queen CupcakKe snatched me bald with that hook. An honorary mention goes to LGBT. CupcakKe has done a lot for our community, and I think it's amazing that she wrote a song for *AJ Styles voice* the gay community. My favorite remix has to be this one. Hypocrites is one of my favorite MATD songs, add CupcakKe's barking to the mix and it's an automatic bop.

Ryan Marx wrote:

4) Who do you think should beat Pete Dunne for the PROGRESS Championship (or should he just die with the belt)?

He should die with the belt, tf kind of question is this. In all honesty though, I'd like to see Tyler Bate snatch it from him to avenge his loss at Takeover Chicago. Travis Banks would make a great PROGRESS Champion as well.

Ryan Marx wrote:

5) Are there any indie wrestlers you want to see in WWE/NXT?

I'd like to see Rush jump ship from CMLL to NXT. He was Cien Almas' tag team partner back in Mexico, and I think they'd be good challengers for the Authors of Pain's titles. I'm not too big on lucha libre like I used to be, but Volador Jr., Ivelisse, Fénix, and Sexy Star would all be good picks for NXT. As for the main roster? Bring in my mans Marty Scurll.

Ryan Marx wrote:

6) Could you ever see Harvey being a face character?

Honestly, I can't really tell. The plans I have for making him turn face are ones I constantly think about. What nearly always stops me from making him or any other character of mine face is the fact that I don't have the experience of writing one. During my entire efedding career, my characters have almost always been tweeners or heels. If ever made Harvey face, it'd be a challenge to write his promos. I do hope to make him face somewhere a lot farther down his career, if I'm still using him by then.

Ryan Marx wrote:

7) What would be your dream wrestling card if you could book any wrestlers from any promotion to be on it?

One match I can think of at the top of my head is Pollyanna vs Jinny, if Polly ever came out of retirement and held the PROGRESS Women's Championship at least once, I'd be shook. I feel like Shinsuke Nakamura vs Tyler Bate would be fun to watch, considering the two have some of the best movesets in wrestling right now in my opinion. For the main event, I'd book Pete Dunne vs Marty Scurll, purely just to see who the better heel is. I'd add more matches to feature my other favorites like Cien Almas, Asuka, Trent Seven and AJ Styles, but at the moment I can't quite think of anything.

Ryan Marx wrote:

8.) Who would you most want to fight here in EAW (as Harvey)?

I feel like the obvious one is Ryan Marx. Surprisingly enough, I was able to defeat your other character in EWC, and since we've formed our tag team over there, I've been taking a few notes on how to defeat the Zeitgeist (as cliche as it sounds). I'd like to have a crack at guys like Jamie O'Hara, Lannister, and Lars Grier. Regardless of the outcome, I'd have fun promoing against some of the goats around here.

What made you want to use Tyler Bate as a picbase?

The character was already pretty young, and it made sense to use a picbase that was equally as young in real life. When I first debuted the character in EWC, I had intention of using Pete Dunne. He was taken, so as a last minute change I settled with Tyler Bate. At first, I wasn't too keen on the change, but I later found out Bate was the perfect fit for Harvey Yorke. Especially with his recent bearded look. Now, I feel like Bate is the picbase choice for Yorke. I have no intentions of changing that.

University's been a bit of a drag so far; send me a few questions, perhaps?

Would you ever change bases?
Is there someone you would like to team with in the future for a possible run for the tag titles?
How do you think your character is doing so far?
Is there a specific belt you would like to win this season?
Do you have a specific goal you would like to accomplish this season?
I know a lot of people don't know this about Harvey, but he is gay, what caused you to make your character gay?
What are your main influences when you created this character?

1) Favourite opponent so far since returning to EAW as Harvey?
2) If you had to leave Voltage, which brand would you want to go to and why?
3) When will the #HATE shirts go on sale?
4) When are you going to accept the Five Pillars in your life and team with me?
5) Any matches you've seen recently that you enjoyed?
6) Any wrestlers you've discovered lately that you've become a fan of?

Who are your favourite EAW promoers right now?

Why bearded Tyler Bate?

Is there anybody who you'd like to be in a feud with on any of the major brands?

When will you stop slandering my GFX? 

Who are your favourite wrestlers in WWE and outside WWE?

Are you really dead inside and you drink bleach like you say you do?

I've joked about switching to Pete Dunne before, but yeah, not really. Tyler's the perfect base for Harvey.

No comment on that right now, sis.

Way better than I expected. In between my hiatus from efedding to my eventual return, I've learned not to let losses effect me too much. As Atilano and as a less-experienced writer, I'd take this game too personally. Now, not so much. Completely blown away about making it to the finals of the Interwire title tournament. Still in shock about facing Jamie O'Hara as well...even though I no-showed due to some mental health issues. Being in two main event matches back-to-back like that was a complete surprise - hopefully it's all great from here.

The Interwire Championship hasn't left my sight just yet. I'd love to have another rematch with Amadeus, he put out some really great stuff the last time we faced each other.

вrσdч spαrks . wrote:

OOC, I'd like nothing more than to be able to improve my promo game. I feel like I've gotten better in the last year, but I'm still not quite at the level I wish to be at. IC, I want to turn people's heads honestly. I trust Oasis' booking and writing, and I'll admit, he's been taking great care of my character. I just want people to see what I'm made of, whether it be on the mic or in the ring.

Whether anyone knew it or not, I'm gay. For a while, I avoided saying that in the chats, but since I'm being asked, I guess it's time to spill the tea. When I was coming up with the idea for Harv, I wanted a character I could relate to on an OOC level, so it would be easier to write character development in the first fed I put him in. Plus it's 2017, I think that the community can be open to diversity. If not then, oh well. I'm not here looking for people to accept me for who I am or to trash my existence for my sexuality - I'm simply here to have fun and write.

вrσdч spαrks . wrote:

I answered this question previously, but I've got a few more influences now that I think about it. His general promo mannerisms come from characters like John Constantine (Hellblazer, I refrenced the one-shot 'All His Engines' when coming up with the gimmick), Jessica Jones (Alias/Marvel's Jessica Jones/Marvel's The Defenders), and Alex DeLarge (Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange). I'd say that my knowledge of the punk rock movement back in the 80s inspired his 'I give zero fucks' attitude. Also, he's greatly influenced by my need of drinking Red Bull to write promos at 3-4 A.M. because I'm a mess

1) Favourite opponent so far since returning to EAW as Harvey?

I enjoyed promoing against Amadeus for the IW title. Everything about the match had excitement, a good build-up, as well as a great ending. At first I was worried I wouldn't be able to come back from that ending, but when looking at it from a different P.O.V., it had meaning. And it's always great to see someone take Harv's ego down a few notches.

Don't know if this counts, but promoing in that 3-on-3 tag team match the Showdown before PFP X was fucking magical. Those promos were my favorite that I've written since coming back.

Ryan Marx wrote:

2) If you had to leave Voltage, which brand would you want to go to and why?

I like it here though :/ I guess if I had to leave, I'd go to Dynasty just for the hell of it. I'd like to face Darkane one-on-one, since he's one of my favorite promoers right now. I've faced Scott Oasis before as Atilano, but I feel like I could've done better, especially now with this character. If for some reason I couldn't go to Dynasty, I'd go to NEO. It's always great to face some of the new faces in EAW. Plus, they've got guys like Finnegan Wakefield and Moongoose McQueen - both of which would be fun to promo against.

Ryan Marx wrote:

Whenever you decide to get better at GFX, kys.

Ryan Marx wrote:

I can't answer that, sis.

Ryan Marx wrote:

5) Any matches you've seen recently that you enjoyed?

I've only watched the first two episodes of the Mae Young Classic, and from that, I enjoyed watching: Princesa Sugehit/Kay Lee Ray, Xai Li/Shayna Baszler, and Rhea Ripley/Miranda Salinas. Looking forward to episode three and four to see more of my faves, though.

Ryan Marx wrote:

Not recently, no. Although I will say I've become a bit more of a Cena fan after the segment he had with Reigns on Monday.

Why won't you look at me during?

Lars Grier wrote:

Not in any particular order: Jamie O'Hara, Brody Sparks, Finnegan Wakefield, Ryan Marx, Amadeus, Revvy, Darkane, you, and Pizza Boy.

Lars Grier wrote:

Why bearded Tyler Bate?

It just came to be, I guess. Ryan Marx suggested Tyler as a picbase long before he had the beard. I don't know though, personally I feel that the beard gives the base that extra "edge" that is Harvey.

Slandering GFX is my kink. No really though, it's all for the memes. Keep doing your thing with GFX - you've improved a ton since PDG.
