Ultimo Phoenix Biography

Ultimo was born... and now we're here. He probably attended school somewhere in the middle there. Now he's ready to don his homemade luchador mask and make his idol proud in DEFIANCE! 

 

 

 

Ultimo has taken it on himself to assume the mantle of the original Phoenix, a revered luchador whose innovative style and iconic look revolutionised pro-wrestling. The only problem is that Ultimo is just a tubby kid who got fleeced out of his money to graduate from a disreputable wrestling school ran by some sleazy never-was. But maybe dreams do still come true? Ultimo is a kind soul who does the right thing. He has has the heart of a lion and will do whatever it takes and endure any beating if it means making his hero proud. 

Heart - Ultimo feels butterflies and shows fear, but he's not a coward and he can take one hell of an ass-kicking.

Fired Up - Just when Ultimo is on the brink of defeat, he can channel The Firebird and turn the tables on his opponents, blocking all offence just long enough to make a comeback.

The Faithful - Everyone loves an underdog, and a lot of the DEFIANCE fanbase see themselves in Ultimo. They will grow to love him over time, and their belief in him wills him on.
 

Green as goose shit - Presumably just about everybody in DEFIANCE will have more experience than Ultimo, and will wrestle circles around him. It'll be luck on the part of Ultimo or his opponent's own hubris which gives him a fighting chance.

Hero worship - Ultimo idolises the original Phoenix and has modelled his entire fledgling career after him. Insulting the legacy of The Firebird is a surefire way to rile Ultimo up.

Easily manipulated - Wrestling is a seedy business filled with unsavoury characters. Ultimo is a good kid who thinks the best of people and may not realise when he's being taken advantage of.
