Predict the KC card to the best of your ability with the current members of the Fed.
Did Cerberus make you proud at LL?
Not sure Cerberus "made me proud", but I appreciated the effort and hard work you guys have put in to not only get better but take that step towards the championships. You've certainly earned those and I can very much respect that.
KC card seems very up in the air right now. Like, extremely up in the air...to the point where I don't know what's going to be booked because no one really seems to have a clear direction in terms of next steps of feuds. It's certainly different to how the Lottery usually plays out, that's for sure.

Could you explain to me what's been going on here for the last 2 years or so without requiring me to read rp's and shows? Just a broad outline or feuds or whatnot will do.
Christ, a lot. You were around here last...KC IV I want to say? Well more or less between then and KC IV the main event was pretty much Showtime, who won the belt of Kurtesy, Drake Callahan and myself. Drake won the belt off Showtime at Redemption, Showtime won it off Drake at Apocalypse, I won it off Showtime at Lethal Lottery and Showtime won it again in a three-way at KC V.
In the midst of that, Holmes began a power couple relationship with Celeste Crimson where she helped him win the belt and then sealed the deal with a nice snog. People were surprised, it was awesome. Since then, Holmes and her have been tag champs, gotten married and had a baby. Very exciting news I know.
In that time period also, Saxoteur (Saxton/Saboteur) became the greatest tag team champions of all time, holding the belts longer than any other team. There was then a cluster-fuck title situation (largely thanks to yours truly) which involved Strikeforce, The Sacrificial Altar (TSA, stable ran by Numbers' new (at the time) character The Grand Mystique who was a bit like Ty but more mystical and less ghetto) and somehow spun itself into Saxoteur winning the belts back and Saxton retiring while Mikey Stormrage, James Howard and others went out for blood against TSA which blew off in "the best match in WZCW history - Klunderbunker, 2013", AKA War Games at KC V.
From LL to KC last year there was a large change-over of staff; myself, Showtime, Falk and Kermit all ended up standing down. Harth became head of creative pretty much far quicker than even he anticipated as a result. One of the last things the old guard put in place though was a Gold Rush tournament, not too dissimilar to the one you yourself won to elevate the other guys because Drake, Holmes and Showtime were more or less done to death in the main event. Ricky Runn, yes the one who was calling you out for giving him shit when he was...well, relatively poor and it was arguably needed, won the whole thing and became #1 contender.
Meanwhile Barbosa won the title from Showtime at Redemption, then dropping it to Ricky at Apocalypse. Ricky then went on one of the best heel runs in WZCW history being an utter monster of a douche and being so painfully annoying that he was brilliant. Was a sight to behold. Beard meanwhile, won King for a Day, which has been moved from KC to Apocalypse to give that show some more box-office.
Ty, now back on creative as you'll likely have noticed, returned (the character I mean now) and finally ended the "Swaggtastic era" (see what I mean by douche monster?) at AoN, only to himself drop the belt to Beard on, I believe the Meltdown following who cashed in his King for a Day and then dissapeared himself (storyline) which is why the LL match this year was for the WHC, which Tastic won to some surprise.
The Mayhem title's been retired and instead the Elite X belt has been gimmicked up - it's a limited reign title so you have up to seven defences per wrestler and after the seventh (succesful) defence you get a shot at the World Championship and vacate the belt. No one has been able to accomplish this yet. This was done so as to avoid a situation like the one we had with Sam Smith and Rush who held both the Elite X belt and EurAsian title for months but never broke into the main event scene.
Dr. Zeus (Haiku Hogan's character, not sure you're familiar with him, cool dude anyway) debuted and shook things up. He rhymes (like Dr. Seuess, and Haiku's...) and shiz, had a long feud with FalK's set of characters (first Sandy Deserts and then Kurtesy) looked nigh on unstoppable, formed a stable called the Pale Riders which included himself, Beard (who he turned after he'd won the KFAD), Fallout and Amber Warren which really should've been great, but various things crippled the ever loving shit out of the angle and it has gone nowhere as a result.
Various people have left and come back (myself included) as you'd expect and I think that's about it. Blimey Charlie.
With a new character, what's the best way to start up a real story in your RP's?
Were you happy with your showing at LL?
Find something you're passionate about and tell a story about that thing. I know it sounds cliche, but it works. Sinking your teeth into something you a) won't be bored by and b) allow you to flesh out aspects of your character will lead to discoveries and decisions being made about that character.
As for my showing, not particularly. Thought I was a little short changed, though not as much as the Elite as a unit. I thought we could've and maybe should've had periods of dominance, dumping people out singularly and together. Instead we didn't look great really. Showtime and I were having a chat last night and he brought up that Tastic would've looked even better if he were left alone with the Elite in a 3-on-1 situation and somehow eliminated all of us to win the gold. Sounds good to me.
I do sympathise with creative though because the Lottery is one of the worst matches to write. It is energy sapping and a bear pit of repeating yourself.
I also wasn't a fan of the knife angle and felt that was out of character...Holmes would
hire someone to threaten Granpa, not do it himself. That and, I'm not overly found of the use of weapons (I.E. non-wrestling gimmick weapons)
