CHARACTER INFO
Nicknames/Monikers: DGS; The Sovereign; The Blackstar; The Electric Eye; The Everlasting Dragon; The Arbiter; The Eschaton

Cheating Tendency: Never
Synopsis: He's been called many things over the course of his sixteen-year career. The last of a dying breed; an avatar of destruction; a vestige of old blood and ancient power; wrath and ruin incarnate. These things are all hyperbole, of course, but the truth - comparatively lesser in style, though not necessarily in substance - is that the professional wrestler known the world over as DGS is exactly that: a wrestler, in an older and truer sense of the word than most of his contemporaries can even conceive of, let alone claim for themselves.

Outside the ring, David Gideon Smith is the definition of stoicism. He speaks rarely and softly, never raising his voice, losing his composure, or mincing his words; such reticence, however, belies supreme intelligence and insight. Smith is extremely perceptive, displaying the unerring ability to hone in on his opponent’s doubts, fears, and weaknesses and tear them apart at the seams, sometimes with as little as a single sentence. These traits hold true in the ring as well, where his nearly two decades of experience have forged him into a hyper-athletic master tactician with an encyclopedic knowledge of his craft. All this, combined with the aura of eerily detached calm he projects even while mounting savage and overwhelming offense against his opponents, has earned him widespread recognition as one of the most offensively dangerous wrestlers on the planet.

But all this is immaterial – the question, as always, is why. Why EAW, one of the few corners of the wrestling world he’s left untouched? Why now, after so long? Why at all, after all he’s seen and done and been?

Questions without answers, for the moment.

WRESTLING INFO

Special Entrance: Coming soon.

Favorite Weapon: Dislikes using weapons in general, but if pressed or cornered will take up a length of steel chain.
Wrestling Style(s): All-Inclusive, Headhunting Strong Style Hybrid; although his technical and athletic chops stack up against even the most specialized opponents, Smith's true strength is that, almost without exception, he hits harder and possesses more pound-for-pound raw power than anyone else in the game.

ACHIEVEMENTS

PRIOR TO EAW (click to expand/collapse):

First and foremost, welcome to EAW! You have a good looking sign up coming together. However, there is a little bit of an issue concerning your pic base. The pic base you've assigned yourself is by no means taken, but it is a pic base that doesn't lend itself to our graphics department due to a lack of PNG files or Renders. This may be an issue seeing as we are very proud of our graphics department here in EAW. If you would, please consider using a pic base of a wrestler to help this process along. We are partnered with a very helpful site in psd-dreams that could give you a few ideas should you look into it.

That all being said, welcome to EAW. Be sure to promo regularly and interact with our community. Above all else, have fun!

Welcome, profile looks good! Nice classic feel to it! Have fun.

As per the picbase, we over at Psd-dreams have a request section where you can request images to be rendered for your use as a pic base, so also consider that

Welcome, have fun.

Welcome! Enjoy your stay!!

Welcome. Good concept, good sign up. I think Josh Holloway is an awesome picbase and hope that something gets worked out there. Post around and have fun!

Pretty awesome sign up! Welcome to EAW and hopefully we can get your pic base situation figured out. Would be cool to see him used.

Like everyone else has said, make sure to promo regularly when scheduled for a match, interact with the community, and just have a great time!

Welcome to EAW Goldilocks!

Oh goodie, that name followed me here.

Thank you for the kind welcome, everyone. This seems like an amazing fed, and I'm really excited to start working with you.

As far as the picbase issue goes, is the only issue that there aren't many/any available cut images of him? If so, I'm pretty sure I have a few backed up from before PSD-Dreams' servers wiped or reset or whatever. Just gotta go back through my hard drive at some point to find them. Hell, I could probably make a few myself if it turns out I don't have them anymore.

That would be awesome if you can find them! Either way, I would contact someone in regards to that. You can view the Staff HERE!

I hope everything works out!

Welcome to EAW, my fellow David.
