A Vignette is aired for Harry Jackson
A taxi pulls up outside a single bed apartment somewhere in Virginia. A tall figure with his hood up steps out of the cab and throws a few dollar bills at the cab driver. As the cab pulls away, the hood comes down and Harry Jackson looks around as rain splashes down his leather jacket. He walks to shelter, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it. He takes a long, slow drag before dropping his duffle bag to the floor beside him. After exhaling the smoke, Jackson looks into the camera breaking the fourth wall
"Stay in School I guess. That's the only advice I can offer anyone really. Anything else would technically be bad advice as I only left prison this morning. I completed a 6 year sentence for a string of felony's including Criminal damage, assault, position of a fire arm, position of a bladed article and drug trafficking. I'm not proud of my past but it is what it is. I can't change it. Time goes forward, not back. So with that in mind, I have to go back to bring you to speed before this particular chapter goes forward"
Harry finishes his cigarette and lets out one final smoke cloud before stubbing it into the wall
"Crime hasn't been the only thing in my life. From 13 I wrestled at amateur level for my high school. I was fostered and my adoptive parents weren't really that interested in my well being. I was just another paycheck for them as they already had 3 kids of their own. I was free to do what I wanted and at that time, I wanted to Wrestle. But Amateur Wrestling wasn't for me. I'd seen guys like Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero and Juvi Guerrera on Nitro in the late 90's and that was what I wanted to do. To fly through the air knowing when I landed, the other guy was gonna feel it. He wasn't going to know what hit him"
Jackson picks up his duffle bag and heads in the apartment complex. The old man at the desk barely lifts his head up from his newspaper to acknowledge him. Harry gets to his new room and stops at the door before looking over his shoulder
"But all of that is just the icing. There are several more layers to this particular cake as the saying goes, but for mow, that's all you need to know"
He turns the key and heads inside the apartment door, slamming it behind him. The number 7 drops off the door as it shuts OT - More vignettes to follow tonight when I finish work. Initial thoughts on this character?? Great job and great vignette as well! I can't wait to see what else becomes of him! ((Also not trying to nitpick but in his last quote you spelt now wrong lol))

Tyrant is seen mulling around backstage. He can be seen constantly dragging his gloved hand along the wall as if he's either searching for something or bored out of his mind.

A second Harry Jackson vignette airs A small cafe in Norfolk, Virginia is the setting. The camera slowly moves towards Harry who is sat in a booth with his back facing us. As the camera pans around, Harry is sat with a lit cigarette burning away between his fingers. A slight smirk just peaks at the edge of his lips "It's a possibility that the last time we had one of these little chats I might have mislead you. You may be under the impression that I'm not all that bad despite my criminal convictions. I can categorically tell you that is incorrect. I am a bad person and I'm about to tell you why" The waitress slowly walks over to Harry with a fresh pot of coffee and gives him a refill. As she slowly tops up his cup she gently smiles at him with a hint of flirtation. Harry just observes her and doesn't break eye contact with her until she's done. He then proceeds to place his half smoked cigarette into the ash tray, taking a sip of his coffee "When you think of crimes, Hollywood has created this illusion that it's all extravagant high speed chases and death defying shoot outs. It's a facade, of course. The reality is an ugly truth. It's a dark, desolate and cold existence. Living that lifestyle changes a man's mindset, it changes everything. It can even turns the lives of the most well adjusted upside down and inside out, leaving a fearful shit storm in it's wake, like a trail of destruction, the kind a hurricane would leave behind. The four walls of a prison cell are tame. Utterly soul crushing. The world outside those four walls keeps moving, but your direct timeline freezes, and while the people on the outside get to work, party, drive... the simple things, all you get to do is think. Each one of those four walls projects a different regret. A continuous reminder how you fucked up and how long you're going to pay for it" Harry picks up his cigarette from the ash tray which has gone out while he's been talking and relights it, looking up to the clock. He looks back to the camera exhaling "All that thinking wasn't all bad. Some of the inmates would hold bare knuckle fights in the yard during everyone's one hour exercise. The guards would look the other way because they'd place bets. It was during this time that I learned I wasn't very good at fighting, but what I did learn was no matter how hard or how many times I got hit, I could always get back up. I lost all seven of my fights but that didn't matter. Before I got locked up I had been competing all over Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina and Tennessee for small independents. I'd successfully transitioned from collegiate amateur wrestler. I'd adopted a high risk style giving me an extra edge. But prison had given me a gift. Taking excruciating pain became a specialty" Harry pushes his cigarette down into the ash tray, putting it out. He grasps his cup, slowly drinking his coffee. His eyes wander around the cafe. Towards the door sit an elderly couple enjoying some breakfast. Then he notices a man sat a few booths down from him in his mid thirties, shuffling through documents inside his brief case in a panic. At the other corner of the room is a seventeen year old girl with lots of make up on, dressed like a tart. She talks loudly on her cell, presumably with a friend, letting out an irritating laugh that echoes through the cafe. As he observes all the different faces, he lowers his head, shaking it, placing his coffin back to the table "I hate people. They disgust me. Vile, vile creatures" Being the chain smoker he is, Harry slides his pack of smokes out of the top pocket stitched to his leather vest. He flicks open the pack and pulls the top one out with his teeth, reaching for a light with his free hand, sparking it and taking a puff "ECWW is my land of opportunity. There is a buzz surrounding the roster that's being assembled but I don't mind how many men I have to put down. This is my turning point. I've made a hash of my life due to bad decision making. I've got a criminal record that's going to hang over my head for the rest of my life. I'm living in a shitty one bed apartment on the suburbs of Richmond, I've got no cash and the second hand car I bought today is an abomination. That's simply a roadblock" Harry inhales a drag of his cigarette and looks down for a moment of reflection before looking across the table and out the open window the other end of the cafe before looking back into the camera "I'm going to be a game changer" OT - So I'm really finding my feet with this character!

HE'S BACK!
Oblivion is seen inside the arena sat talking with two Road agents A man comes up from behind Oblivion, as he signals for the road agents to keep quiet, as Jayson Tyler then lunges himself into Oblivion, wrapping his arms around Oblivion's chest, giving one of the more paralyzing hugs he's ever gotten from a fan.
JAYSON TYLER "It's me, friend! It's me!"

JAYSON TYLER "It's me, friend! It's me!" Oblivion lets out a thrust of air from his lungs
"Hi...Jayson.... wow... that's....a tight grip... fella.."
Jayson Tyler lets go, not out of guilt of stepping his bounds too far, but just to get in front of Oblivion and he shoos the other two guys away.
JAYSON TYLER "Long time, no see my friend. I see you've kept the beard working and hard and hardly working. I've done so myself."
Jayson Tyler just scratches at the tiny stubble he's got on his cheeks.

Jayson Tyler just scratches at the tiny stubble he's got on his cheeks.Catching his breath from the initial struggle, Oblivion composes himself and nods at Jayson
"Long time no see Champ. You look great. But don't be disheartened. You'll get the facial hair you want one day brother"
A small grin crosses Oblivion's face
"So Jayson, have you been working out? You look like you're in the shape of your life!"

"So Jayson, have you been working out? You look like you're in the shape of your life!" Jayson Tyler smiles and nods, still in shock mode to see Oblivion.
JAYSON TYLER "I have been lifting, thanks for noticing! I've also hired a personal trainer, he's tough, and he even tried getting me on this diet, where I drew the line at. I knew I could prove him wrong by working out and not giving up my Chips Ahoy!"
Jayson laughs before smacking Oblivion on the arm playfully.
JAYSON TYLER "How about you? Your arms look a little limp, Skimp."
