Name: Mr. Banks (Kenneth A. Banks)
Alignment: Tweener
NPC Role: Owner of WZCW

Description: The wealthy TV Media Mogul, Mr. Banks, struck gold as he acquired enough shares of the publicly traded WZCW company to make him the majority owner of the federation. He looks at WZCW and sees dollar signs if he can mold it into his own image. With his direction, he feels that he can lead WZCW to the next big step in professional wrestling.

[RPer's Note: Rpers will only be allowed to use the NPC, Mr. Banks, under very special circumstances. It requires special permission to use him and failure to abide by this mandate will result in a warning/possible automatic loss.]

Name: Chuck Myles
Alignment: Face
NPC Role: General Manager of Ascension

Description: Longtime GM of Meltdown, Myles was unabashedly biased towards the more unsavory superstars of WZCW. Delighting in making the heroes' lives hell, Myles was ultimately brought down and replaced by Vance Bateman. However, with the debut of Ascension and the need for more control, the Board of Directors opted to bring back Myles in his old position - GM of Meltdown. Since his return, he's sported the same cockiness that was his trademark in the past, and he looks to be every bit his old self... until he sold his share of the company to Ty Burna, becoming a talent liason for Ty and taking care of the newly produced Aftershock show.

He remained in this position until Ty took over the company, relieving him of his duties. Myles came back for a 3rd time, reinstated as GM of Aftershock thanks to the new owner Chris K.O. who defeated Ty Burna for the company. Thereafter, Myles was removed from his position and spent several years away from WZCW.

On Meltdown 142, Myles returned to WZCW and his position as the General Manager of Meltdown following injuries sustained to Vance Bateman, thereby making him unable to continue his role.

************************************************** **

Name: Rebecca "Becky" Serra
Alignment: Heel
NPC Role: General Manager of Meltdown
Picture:

Entrance Music: "Legs" by ZZ Top

Description: Don't be fooled by her stunning looks - Serra is as smart as any other employee in WZCW when it comes to the business and can manipulate her personality & situation to benefit herself.

For a majority of her career, Becky was one of WZCW's most notorious interviewers and earned a lot of respect from her peers for being very polite and approachable. Her hard-work eventually earned her a spot on the Aftershock commentating team where she never missed a beat. After being recognized for her skill, WZCW Owner Mr. Banks awarded her the GM seat for Aftershock, and then to Ascension where she would show her true colors and begin making some controversial decisions, causing the fans to turn on her.

As the first female General Manager in history, Becky isn't looking to break down barriers but rather do whatever necessary to rise the ranks and gain power within WZCW.

Name: Jack Cohen
Alignment: Heel
NPC Role: Color Commentator (Meltdown & Ascension + PPV Events)
Picture:

Entrance Music: "On the Run" by Judas Priest

[YOUTUBE]d8unMi5p5ro[/YOUTUBE]

Description: Formerly known as Jacob the Magnificent, Cohen was a notorious rule breaker and cheater in the late 80s and 90s who traveled across the independent circuit in search of fame and glory, at any cost. He amassed a large collection of independent heavyweight championships in his tenure, before a back injury in 2000 forced him to retire. He continued touring the country, taking autograph signings, before opting to become a commentator where he worked for various independent federations, before eventually coming to WZCW. His bad guy attitude from wrestling has carried over into his commentary work, and he always pushes for the men (and sometimes, women) that remind him of his old days in the ring.

Despite his biased opinions on how wrestling should be conducted, he is considered the "voice" of WZCW as Jack sits at the commentators table at the company's two biggest shows, Meltdown & Ascension, as well as apart of the 3-person team that calls the Pay-Per-Views.

**************************************************

Name: Sebastian Copeland
Alignment: Face
NPC Role: Play-By-Play Commentator (Meltdown + PPV Events)
Picture:

Entrance Music: None

Description: Sebastian Copeland comes from a long career of sports broadcasting, a former professional football play by play commentator, as well as hosting his own radio show in the past. He made the transition to wrestling not long before WZCW began, calling matches in various independent federations before stepping up the big leagues. He's called the action alongside his partner Jack Cohen for the duration of WZCW's existence, with a soft heart for the good guy and will always be ready to condemn the rule-breakers.

A reliable member of the WZCW announce team who won't be going anywhere any time soon, Copeland loves the business and, in his later years, has grown passionate about the company and always aims to do his best to excite the viewer (casual or hardcore).

**************************************************

Name: Catherine "Cat" Connor
Alignment: Face
NPC Role: Play-By-Play Commentator (Ascension + PPV Events)
Picture:

Entrance Music: None

Description: Longtime host of sports news shows, as well as various radio shows and calling professional sports games and matches, Catherine Connor was hired by Vance Bateman to take over Sebastian Copeland's commentary duties on Ascension. Her commentary tends toward the fair and balance but will have her own personal bias when calling the matches: she roots for any of the females working in the mostly male-dominated business and will always take the opportunity to ridicule or joke about either Cohen or Copeland, respectively. Despite these negative qualities as a professional commentator, she is the glue that holds the commentating team together during PPV's and will put Cohen in his place should he get too vocal.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

Name: Leon Kensworth
Alignment: Face
NPC Role: WZCW's Top Interviewer
Picture:

Entrance Music: None

Description: Leon is the most popular and most notable personality in the company, known for tagging along with WZCW members on wacky adventures just for the sake of capturing an interview on tape. He may not speak out much nor is he comfortable performing discussions outside of a WZCW arena but he sure can draw the best out of the wrestlers and can hang with the best of them.

If you need someone reliable to get the job done, Leon is your guy.

**************************************************

Name: Stacey Madison
Alignment: Heel
NPC Role: Standard Interviewer
Picture:

Entrance Music: None

Description: This fiery blonde interviewer is all about appearances - she will sacrifice the early hours of the morning to make sure she looks like a supermodel no matter the occasion whilst delivering some of the most hard-hitting interviews. It's not her passion for the business that drives her to dig deep in her interviews but much rather her brash and selfish personality. She doesn't care what she says nor does she care what nerves she hits, Stacey is here to challenge the wrestlers in a war of words during her interviews and does her best to make sure she comes out on top.

**************************************************

Name: "Big Johnny" Klamor
Alignment: Tweener
NPC Role: Standard Interviewer & Colour Commentator (Aftershock + Pre-PPV Events)
Picture:

Entrance Music: None

Description: You thought Jack Cohen was the only person with an old school mentality? Think again!

"Big Johnny" has never done anything other than tangle with the stars around the world, working for various international tabloids & newspapers, ever since his early 20's. If you needed someone to get up close and personal with somebody, Klamor would never hesitate to put his hand high in the air and was always causing a stir in the tabloids himself for getting too rough with his words. In his later years, Johnny jumped to the professional wrestling world and has kept this same mentality within WZCW. However, his self-arrogance and his portrayal of himself to be a "ladies man" has made him an easy target to ridicule, getting very defensive to protect his image.

With the debut of Aftershock, Klamor received the role of colour commentator for all other shows that Cohen was absent from and provides a more laid-back light-heartec version of himself compared to his interviews.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

Name: Jurou Akiyama
NPC Role: Senior Official
Picture:

Description: Akiyama was brought into the company to enforce discipline on the WZCW refereeing corps and instruct them in the ancient art of officiating. He is universally respected throughout WZCW, and only the most heinous of foes would dare cross him - making him an excellent candidate to call the most high-profile matches the company has to offer. Legend holds that he is a former World champion himself, though he never speaks of his past (when he does speak - a rarity for Akiyama). No matter what, Akiyama will always wear his signature red shoes in the ring and will never officiate without them.

**************************************************

Name: Keith Morse
NPC Role: Referee
Picture:

Description: Keith is one of the more stricter referees under the company's pay-roll, known for his very low tolerance of any shenanigans or wrongdoings occurring in his ring. He is unafraid to put his hands on wrestlers to break up contact when necessary - a practice that has earned him the ire of Akiyama-san - and will NEVER allow foreign objects to be used to the point where Keith will personally remove any weapon from his matches should he see one come into his vision.

**************************************************

Name: Elizabeth Prince
NPC Role: Referee
Picture:

Description: WZCW's first female referee, Prince doesn't think of herself as breaking down barriers, but just as another professional doing her job. She might not have any strengths or weaknesses as a referee but this "Jack of all Trades" official always makes the right calls without hesitation or doubt, earning her a higher degree of respect amongst her peers.

**************************************************

Name: Katie Shepard
NPC Role: Referee (Trainee)
Picture:

Description: Katie is WZCW's newest refereeing hire, often finding herself getting the short end of the stick by working the lowest matches on Aftershock. She is still learning the tricks of the trade but she often dreams of the day she'll referee a world championship contest. With her accelerated passion for the business, she may get too involved in the contest but there is no doubt that one day she will gain the respect from her peers, the crowd and most importantly, the wrestlers.

********************************************************************
Name: Michael Raymond McRae
NPC Role: Referee (Special)
Picture:

Description: McRae is the official referee for Mayhem 24/7, and comes highly recommended. This Irishman has a knack for tracking people down - whether they're in a boiler room, a water park, or on top of a redwood in Northern California, he will find them. Unlike the other officials in WZCW, he condones weapon usage because it takes him "back to a special time in his life". An intimidating man who sits by himself in the referee cafeteria, McRae does not play. McRae follows.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

Name: Everest
Alignment: Face
NPC Role: On-Screen Personality (Special Occasions) & Play-By-Play Commentator (Aftershock + Pre-PPV Events)
Picture:

Entrance Music: "Supernova Goes Pop" by Powerman 5000

[YOUTUBE]xzWXoP3lj1w[/YOUTUBE]

Description: After conquering WZCW inside the ring, the first-ever Hall of Famer Everest has decided to test his skills as a member of the highly-esteemed broadcast team when the commentating position opened up on Aftershock. The Pinnacle of Perfection brings his vast knowledge and experience of professional wrestling to the announcing booth, as well as making special appearances such as hosting Discussion Panels and major announcements.

************************************************** **

Name: Truman Harrys
Alignment: Face
NPC Role: Ring Announcer (Meltdown + PPV Events)
Picture:

Entrance Music: None
Description: Harrys has been with WZCW calling the biggest shows since the incarnation of the company and is generally regarded as a company-man, stating many times that he will remain with the business until his retirement. He might be passionate inside the ring but outside, he lives a quiet life with his loving family and never talks too much about his personal life.

**************************************************

Name: Selena Anderson
Alignment: Face
NPC Role: Ring Announcer (Ascension & Aftershock + Pre-PPV Events)
Picture:

Entrance Music: "What I See" by Lacuna Coil

[YOUTUBE]QzqNBc2HNbc[/YOUTUBE]

Description: Probably the only person on the roster who sings her own entrance theme, Selena was a former model and aspiring singer before she took her beautiful looks and lovely voice to the wrestling business, calling most of the events that WZCW host across the world. And to this day, there is nobody that sings the national anthems better than Anderson does.

**************************************************

Name: Bob
Alignment: Face
NPC Role: Backstage Worker
Picture:

Entrance Music: None
Description: This is Bob - Bob is a normal person who receives a pay-check from WZCW for doing his job - just another average person... who has a tendency to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time. No matter how hard he tries to avoid the action, he somehow finds himself getting his face on camera whether that be getting roughed up by one of the wrestlers; calling medical personnel after a fight; or getting Bateman's caramel Latte order wrong. Bob is just one unlucky backstage worker.
