Blade
A very well written piece. You responded well to the swerve of Karnage turning on you, yet still give hope to him that he'll turn around. You bring up a lot of history and issues between you and Mr. Baller. You've let Baller get under your skin, which is uncharacteristic of your character, and use it to channel and new rage and different feelings. We also see your character playing up being a face more, due to the removal of tweener and your gimmick of being your own anti-anti-hero. While you did a fair job at it, some of your jokes/remarks seemed a little forced. I pegged you as a rebel without a cause type, but now your developing a cause (Karnage) and more trying to get cheers out of the fans, rather than call it good or bad. Not something bad if you have a plan to it all, just something to note. You can be funny, but you shouldn't force it out so much. Best jokes are the natural, he didn't just say that, ones. Writing was good, good focus on everyone who's been a part of your Baller feud. I like the audience reactions that come with all your RP's. It stands out as something different, which is great. Just try not to force all of them and otherwise, you have it down pat to writing consistent good rp's. Good work.
Mr. Baller
Interesting piece to say the least. In most cases if I were to use an opponent or other wrestler in an RP, I ask their permission and give them a rough outline of what I want to use them for and get their input. I hope you went and approached Dave about using him, thou I know he wouldn't mind. I gotta say the whole thing seemed unbelievable. There was no explanation as to how you kidnapped Karnage, no where in your character description does it include mad scientist or diabolical sociopath. It says your an ex bball player (we'll assume basketball you lazy contracters), yet I've seen barely any mention of that, aside from dropping names like LeBron or Wade, or any attitude in your RP that would lead me to guess that. It might be time to freshen up your character and give him a deeper gimmick, something you can use in your RP's. This is just reaching out desperate. 'Good strategy is all about making plays'?. What does that mean? If your comparing it to pissing off Celeste, but backing her up, and kidnapping Karnage, then yes I see it but you need to make the connection clearer. The two paragraphs seemed basic reiterations, addressing roughly the same points and really put over your opponent while not really putting over yourself much, or what you will do if Karnage doesn't help you. This is uncreative and lacks story or emotion. Sorry to be so harsh.
Karnage
Interesting concept of first person. While I liked the piece and it worked really well in this particular instance since there was very little actually said by you, I just don't know about it. In my view when I look at an RP I imagine that it's on TV, what I write would be broadcasted, so I generally try to keep deep thoughts to a minimum, unless it's voiceovers. Yours reads very much like a story. Honestly yours couldn't be expressed the same way on TV, but this is a minor concern that's based only on the fact we write differently. It was a terrific RP in my mind, scary, and had me waiting wanting to know what happened and why. It's good to see you've gone back to the more aggressive, dangerous Karnage. When we first started, I feared you would go too deep right away in the 'I'm a sociopath and I'm gunna kill you', but then you pulled it back to the bizzare, which worked at first till you became a face and then acted silly. Now this piece is chilling. It really highlights how dangerous you can be without any all too common bragging or tough guy crap. You explained well about why you turned on Blade and set it up well for a future feud. The pace was excellent and you set the stage for the match. And all this and your only refing. I look forward to the outcome of this match, great job.
Rush
Considering you felt it was rushed (ha!) and thought it wasn't that good, I'll tell you it was pretty good. We've seen better, but it was not bad. You paint a good setting to start then go though a long thought process. I had completely forgotten your first match was with Celeste and a loss, so this is really full circle for you. Just like for me and Anoki, this is your chance to break off and begin a new. You do a good job of that, re-capping your time in WZCW and explaining your feelings and how they relate to your past. I must say while your trying to make a point, I feel bad for how you clumped Blade into your group of lowly competitors you beat, considering your both faces and he's beaten a few ppl as well. The last bit, Blade beat Celeste, you beat him, was necessary, but the first wasn't, thou I know the point you were getting at. Your very poetic and your words flow together well. I've been seeing a lot of use of the word destiny thrown out by a bunch of different wrestlers and some need to try something different. Your character being one of the few vets, I think a focus more on second chances, rather than out right saying destiny, would work better. You tied history between you and Celeste and everything inbetween very well and put over her very well also. It is a shame your opponent couldn't get their RP up in time as this could've been a really good battle, but in the end it's good news for you. good job.
The dark match and the tag match I'll do tomorrow. My opponents and the rest of the world title match I hope to have done by friday.
