The Nihilists (Esmur/Gebin/tag team) [July 2024 Update]

[The Nihilists]

Wrestler Name: Esmur
Nickname: -
Age (D.O.B): 40 (July 4, 1983)
Height: 6'
Weight: 205lbs
Hometown: St. Louis, MO
Pic Base (For Network/Global Events): bald Aiden English/Matt Rehwoldt
Wrestling Attire: Long tan tights, dark brown belt, black tape on his hands, black boots
Entrance Theme: Saviour of Nothing by Disturbed
Short Bio: Shrouded in mystery, little is known about these two men except that they have taken an interest in Fireside and that something happened to them in their lives that caused them to forsake belief in anything but in each other and their talents. They only aim for victory. They don't show much in the way of emotion in terms of joy or sorrow or anger and tend to be very monotone but with a quiet intensity in the ring. They forsake pandering to the crowd, or taunting at the crowd or the opponents. They are all business and want to reclaim their place atop the XHF Tag Team Division. They extol the virtues of nothingness and frivolous beliefs in silly things. They discovered the AWF in their quest to find meaning beyond themselves (a quest they consider complete and a failure), and claim to have once taken part in the Church of Hyperion though left early on when they felt he was another charlatan. Esmur clearly has a background in the technical side of wrestling. He can fly but prefers to ground his foes and let Gebin do the flying. Having returned from a long hiatus after Gebin was seriously injured by their former ally Natasha they have decided to return to what made them great and to bring the darkness to a new place and just maybe … extinguish the fires of those in Fireside. As of February 2021, Esmur has claimed a world championship and Gebin has returned to singles action as well. The two have made it their mission to use their unique viewpoint on the world to get more people to live life to the fullest now and make life worth living. After having his face burned by MAJESTY, it has taken him a year to heal and he is scarred on his face and angry at the world.

~The arena dims down to pitch blackness. Two male voices are heard saying, “EMBRACE … ETERNITY” The Xtremetron begins to show images of the Nihilists, Gebin flying around the ring and Esmur grounding his foes. It flashes the masks of the Nihilists before burning them away and revealing the two men standing back to back on the screen. "Saviour of Nothing" by Disturbed begins to play and a single light brown spotlight illuminates the stage. On the stage stands Gebin, hair flowing, wearing his light up Covid Mask and illuminated battle gloves. He raises his hands and the columns of LED light illuminate the stage in purple. Stepping into the brown spotlight walks Esmur complete with his luchador mask. He steps up and stares into the ring before looking out at the XHF Network faithful. He is wearing a tan robe that is adorned with religious iconography from pretty much every religion, the symbols are all drawn on fire for emphasis. He pulls his robe off into his arms and tosses it at his feet as a column of red light illuminates it. This reveals his XHF Junior Heavyweight Championship, which he pats as he begins to move. He steps ten feet onto the ramp before stopping as flames erupt all around him. He shakes and shudders as if reliving some nightmare. He slowly reaches for his face and finally he tears off his mask, revealing his scarred face and his bald head and goatee. He rubs the scorch marks on his head before hurling his mask backwards as he marches to the ring with purpose. Gebin follows him and catches the mask as he tosses it. Esmur rolls into the center of the ring and the spotlight illuminates his Nihilist-themed bodysuit which is long and dirt brown. On the right leg is the SCCW logo and a flame decal. On the left leg down the side reads Embrace and Eternity in two columns. His name adorns the seat of the pants. Esmur slowly lifts his head as he appears to nearly be frothing at the mouth. The spotlight becomes flame orange as he throws his arms to the side and shouts, hyping himself up. He then slowly lowers his arms and laughs a sickening laugh as he leans against the turnbuckle, flicking a lighter open (and lit) and shut as he awaits the bell, staring a hole in his opponent. The song and lights fade back to normal as he hands the timekeeper his XHF Junior Heavyweight Championship belt and lighter, as Gebin takes his place at ringside near the commentary booth in a steel chair he has set up.~

Gebin leaps to the apron and in one swift hop, goes over the top rope. He bounds to the middle rope as Esmur walks around the ring to the commentary area where he sets up a folding chair and sits down, basically frothing at the mouth, playing with a lighter. Gebin holds up his right palm, blasting the purple laser light from his gauntlet as he soaks everything in. He leaps down and walks to the opposite corner and leaps up, tossing his mask and gauntlets down to Esmur as he taunts to the crowd. He leaps own and bounces on the balls of his feet, awaiting the match to start.~
