What Is The Inspiration Behind Your CAW?

[fninfamous]

Some of you might remember me making a thread like this in the other place. ;D Here we go again. Just for fun.

What is the inspiration behind your CAW? There’s got to be a reason why you made the CAW and why he is what he is. And why his personality is the way it is. So I just wanted to ask, what inspired you to make your CAW the way he/she is?

[King Vegas]

Hmm...Simply put? Mob Shit lol You name em', I took something from em' and tossed into Vegas and the Flush. From The Godfather, Casino, Goodfellas to the Last Don. That whole organized crime, money and power aspect basically built these guys from the ground up...That and my naturally smart ass mouth. ;D ;D ;D

There are many inspirations for my character 187. I wanted to create a gangsta character, but not the typical kind.

He may be a gangsta, but more specifically, he's a gang member. Member of the Piru Bloods. Which I believe makes him more unique than the average everyday gangsta wrestler. But he is a much deeper character than just the trash talking, hot headed, foul mouthed gangsta that is seen before you.

The inspiration for the name I think was pretty cool. Even though his original name was coincidentally the nickname of a real wrestler. In the beginning, as most people already know, The Infamous 187 was originally known as Tha Notorious 187. "Tha Notorious" came from the late great rapper The Notorious B.I.G. The "187" came from listening to music to get an idea for what to name him. I was listening to the Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg song called "Deep Cover." In which the chorus says, "187 on an undercover cop." I took the "187", knowing that it means homicide, and added it to "Tha Notorious." And boom, he had a name. Coincidentally, it's also the nickname of the wrestler Homicide. Which at the time, I knew nothing about him. I had never heard of him. Not too big on the big famous indy circuits. Never even heard of ROH at the time. But it just so happened to be Homicide's nickname as well. As for the name change for "Notorious" to "Infamous", I figured he could step up a level. ;D

I've taken things from movie characters such as Birdy (Above the Rim), Bishop (Juice), O-Dawg (Menace II Society), Dough Boy (Boyz In Da Hood), Bunz (Belly), Rodney (Baby Boy), Big Meat (Waist Deep), and probably many others I can't think of off the top of my head. I've taken certain characteristics from certain people here and there to help build up 187's personality. A lot of it goes to a "Don't F**k With Me" and Boss-ish type of attitude as I like to call it.

Another thing that gives me inspiration from time to time would be gangsta rap. Not that watered down, commercial stuff that's heard today. I mean real gangsta rap. Usually from the West Coast and usually California rappers. Which explains his hometown being Los Angeles.

[Elizabeth Knight]

Elizabeth... basically was an idea I had at work for a British intergender tag team... and she got popular... somehow. I couldn't really RP her... and she still gets hard for me at times, but I make due. For looks? I used Jillian Hall's face and Victoria's body as inspiration, and attires have been made entirely by me, but the one she wears now/end of LXW's season last season was sort of an homage to the British Bulldog, trying to keep her looking like that type of style. She may go to using Jacob Knights tights I designed this year, since he's had a bit of an overhaul from his new handler.

[blaze]

Blaze was originally based somewhat around the wrestler Raven. (Yes, the original Blaze wore a skirt ) I just basically wanted him to be a dark gimmick...Which eventually molded more into a gothic gimmick. Appearance wise...He's not really based on anyone, it was just a stroke of luck that he came out looking as awesome as he does . Then, from then on I slightly began basing him a little off of wrestlers I like...Such as last years version of Blaze had some slight similarities to Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton. (That being how I decided he would use the swanton and RKO as specials) Because he was basically a highflying, arrogant wrestler...This year though, i've based him a bit more around Edge....With the occasional dose of Jericho when I call someone an assclown or junior ...and thats about it

[pornstar]

I was just made for XWWS to make an adult, hardcore wrestler... and got modified a bit after XWWS tanked due to a simmer or something... Everything comes right outta my cranium look wise... but notice the Quagmire in the character? ;D

[Big Red]

Dare I say that Nathan was a fluke? Yes...its true. I created the original version of Nathan' moveset and all within about 20 minutes for a new league that had started (you know what I'm talking about) He was based on a LOW character I had created named "Canadian Crusher" so I had basically took his look and body type, applied it to Nathan, used my real first name as his last name; gave him a funky nickname with "The Canknuckler" and he was pretty much set. But as a change of pace from my spiky headed freak that I usually Role Play I decided to make him a face, pure face actually, the best of the good guys. He was also SUPPOST to be a jobber to help put people over; any time a 6'6 man built of pure muscle gets beaten its always viewed as an upset. But then the unthinkable happened; he won his first 8 matches and claimed 3 titles during that span to become a triple crown champion and continued to dominate. That through me for a loop and I had no idea about what I wanted to do with him. Personality wise, like I said he was the best of the good guys, but he has a bit of Bret Hart tossed in him to give him a bit of gloating power, and technical prowess. So a man who started off as a nobody turned out to be Mr. Grand-Slam

[Elizabeth Knight]

I love when that stuff happens. Liz was one too. And PornStar. I think Jonny Pyro is my most paid attention to CAW because he's supposed to be my main eventer... and then these other ones just pop up that tear it up too.

[fninfamous]

Nice. ;D I forgot about my attire. When I make an attire for 187, it's generally the usual old school ECW type of thing. You know, like Dreamer, Raven, Balls, New Jack, Sandman, ect. Usually they would all come out with some kind of shirt, pants or shorts, with elbow pads or knee pads, you know the deal. lol The usual ECW wrestler kind of attire. That's kind how I did 187's attires. I'd try and come up with a good shirt design, pants, gave him some gloves and elbow pads, some sneakers or boots, and if I had any layers left I'd throw something on the pants.

Though I still say Randy Orton stole my nWo-styled shirt and replaced it with an RKO. I could swear he was watching me play HCTP when 187 first dawned that shirt design.

[christina]

Well Christina started to be character to help people training their RP skill over in another fed. It was first only for RP, but then she was promoted, and I had to send in a save with her.
Bud sadly I had a problem with my memory card and my save device so that she get deleted.
Just because I was in the mood i brought her back and I also created a new caw for her. She rped quite well the big evil girl in the other place but somehow she never had an match.

So Kenisha vs Christina will be her first true match........ and I hope she win, but who knows.

[nobbs]

I based Andrew Walker off of Dru Nedermyer. I wanted him to be big, and unbeatable. He's kinda like the mean pitbull puppy form of Dru. Easier to kick, but still vicious.

Look wise, well, he's just original.

[mswilliams]

Kenisha was originally made simply for a certain Diva search contest in the other place. Didn't really have much practice in making Divas. I don't believe I'm too good at making any but somehow Kenisha came out alright. Unfortunately Kenisha wasn't sexy enough or something I guess and she lost. After that, I was planning on scrapping her but I was asked to keep her around as a manager by a certain someone. They know who they are. lol Thus is why she stuck around for so long. Then I just grew used to having her around. Though as a manager, I really hadn't had much to use her for. I was going to scrap her again after what happened in the other place but that's all forgiven now. Then I was asked by another to bring her back to APW. They also know who they are. And here she is. ;D

Her attire, well, pretty much original. Her personality and such is still in the making.

[alex]

Alex Price IS:

1 part Shawn Michaels (Post Rockers HBK, when he was running with Diesel)
1 part Alex Shelly (A bit excitable at times. Kinda clueless, but witha hidden mean streak)
1 part Shelton Benjamin ( a natural athelete. He'll powerbomb you one minute and spring board plancha you the next)

and last but not least-

Evan Fate (yea another Kaoz666 mention. Evan is by far 1 of the most stylish caws i've ever seen, and seeing him made me wanna create someone who has that look. Alex's attire is a straight mock up from Evan's)

Oh, and Mr. Price was created solely for the purpose of APW. this is the 1st year I've ever made him.

[dru]

The current rendition of Dru...DUH!!! Brock Lesnar/Batista.

But as many may or may not know, Dru has evolved substantially over the years. When I 1st made him WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back on WWF Warzone, He was a 19 year old cruiserweight named Dru Romeo (Classic cocky, young punk type gimmick). But as the years progressed and he aged, I figured I'd make him bigger. He went from cruiser, to light, to Heavy before I dropped the Romeo and used Nedermeyer (got the name from 1 of my fave hockey players Scott Nedermeyer). Once SD: SYM came out, I decided I wanted to make him Lesnar-esque, so he went from 250 to 300 even, and I modified his moves with bigger, badder stuff. To match his new, bigger look, I gave him the nickname "The Invincible". On HCTP, during the course of the season mode I fought Lesnar for the WWE title, and after the match Dru waxed him with it, the 1 and only time that ever happend. From that I decided to make him heel for the 1st time since he was a "rookie", and The Monster as wee know him today was born. I ditched The Invincible name and opted to keep The Monster as his nick name. Now I'm toying around with putting so age on him. Chronologically is his "History" 11 years have passed, making him now 30 years old. Bigger, faster, stronger, and wiser, but I'm retiring him after SDvR 2012...LMAO

There is a pic of him for those of you who havent seen him.

Well many of you will find this surprising as well as unsurprising but Joe Bruiser was originally made on the original Fight Night back in like 04. One day I just got the crazy idea to make him on 06 and thinking of what a cool gimmick it could be so I went ahead and tried and man I couldn't believe what It came out as lol. Everything on him attire wise and his afro was exactly what he had on FN and I originally wanted him to wear red shorts on FN but didn't have the money at the time to buy them for him.(I'm a Sucker for Red) So I put everything on him from FN on 06 and he turned out to be more popular then my fav. CAW Johnny Phoenix lol.

[Kimberly Masters]

[glow=green,2,300]Really nice Mr. Bruiser. Well I can't say match to my person, as it is top secret. Just one thing I can allow to be known to everybody on the roster. If you want to see Candice, you have to see me first. And i like it when people answers my posts ;D[/glow]

[fninfamous]

Here's a thread TT can revive.

[terra]

I was checking to see if a thread like this was already up before I started one myself ;D

OK, Terra is a hybrid in appearance between Test and Tyson Tomko...two new school type "big men" who I like. He'd have tats like Tomko's if it were possible in 2007, but the spiky Test wig like he has now.

Persona wise, I've decided to give him kind of a "Devil's Advocate" personality. Nothing too evil or "bad ass", but he damn sure isn't a good guy...something like Shaun O'Haire's gimmick when he first came to WWE before he hooked up with Piper and got caught up in that whole Hogan/Mr. America mess.

[bar]

Ach! Pryor's not in here yet!

Well, Jon basically is me... even in the face, although not as similar as last year's due to some transparency's being taken out, he still looks like me...



More than a year old, but still holds true....
See<<<<<<<< (avatar)

Anyways, i was going to go into the Army right outta high school and, aside from the definitioon, my body looked like that at the time. Moveset wise? I love technical wrestling... suplexes and submissions... that is what he has, witha slight RVD/Shelton twist with the kicks, because I can still move for being a fat fuck, and kicks are more my thing...

Attires? Basically whatever I'm feeling like at the time, with the tattoo, I do like Dragons, thats about as fantasy as I go, and I built up around it with the sun in the background... the back was just to put something there. and thats' the gist of it...

[tortura]

As I eluded to before, Marisol was "blessed" upon me by my good friend Mr. X...so she facially and bodily resembles Columbian actress/model Sofia Vergara...one yummy lady I must say ;D. I'm trying my hand at making her attires, but I do have help in that department from a couple of ringers, so you'll know their work when you see it .

Now intially, I had planned for her to be a basic Spanish version of Amber Gianni, but the more I work out her backstory, the most satisfied I was with making her classy, but not as uh...free spirited. She's very loyal to her roots and her family, something that most Hispanic people are anyway (half Columbian myself). For now, that's all I have on her...as I'm basicially building the character through her RPs here...work in progress.
