PICBASE: Jimmy Jacobs


APPEARANCE: The most striking thing about Poena is his wide and crazed eyes, one red, bloodshot, and twitching while the other is a mesmerizing sight of slowly shifting colors and points of light almost like a nebula. Wild black hair and a crazed grin both compliment his madness, and he's done away with his tattered finery to show the tapestry of devotional scars covering him, including the strange spiral in his chest and the handprint on his shoulder. Despite all this his movements are fluid and confident, interspersed with twitches, acts of boneless seeming movement that seem to have grown more puppet-like in his repentance, and mad giggles suiting one crazy enough to welcome pure evil into his body to become a vessel for bloody salvation… or one crazy enough to think he did. After a brief brush with heresy he's thrown himself even harder into His embrace. He has accepted his role as Death, to force Rebirth and His Truth upon us all.


BIOGRAPHY

---

In a previous life before his possession, Poena had been a fanatic of a religion that was only spoken of in whispers. A religion based around the idea of pain being the only way to reach salvation, invoking flagellation and ritual acts of self-harm to bring one closer to the promised paradise by their bloody God’s side. Even in this dark place, Poena was considered an extremist, pushing his body with more and more intense acts till the fateful day of his ascendance. Before the whole of his order, he stabbed a dagger into his eye and at that moment, his God spoke to him. It told him that he had pleased it with his selfless sacrifice and asked him for one more gift… his soul. Poena eagerly accepted, thinking only of serving before his God poured his essence into this earthly vessel and shattered Poena's mind. Poena yanked the dagger out, the socket now filled with the swirling eye that marks his possession, and grinned as his God demanded he cleanse the unfaithful with pain, starting with the cultists around him that had never done enough. While all this could be down to the insane ramblings of a mad man, how does one then explain the eye? An advanced contact, perhaps...?



Wrestler Style: A natural sadist Poena delights in beating the unfaithful down with heavy strikes and brawling before tying them up in brutal submissions, screaming at them to confess as he pulls them apart. He will do anything he can to cause more pain to his opponent, using fishhooks, eye raking/gouging, biting, finger and digit manipulation, and more during submissions and any time he can get away with it. Due to his time in the Order, or just his sheer insanity, he is also able to take extreme amounts of pain. He actually thinks he's possessed by his God and is saving people by breaking them... if he is right or not is still unknown.

MOVESET, STYLE & ENTRANCE

---

FINISHERS:

• "Penance" (Hypernormalisation ) - Yells "CONFESS!" and/or “REPENT!” and/or "WITNESS!" while he has it locked in instead of “Tap!”. Might do this with any big submission hold) (Big Match Version 1) (Big Match Version 2)
• "Anathema" (Cross-legged kneebreaker Brainbuster)

• "Judas Cradle" (Orienteering with Napalm Death. Just look at the Gif.)

Super Finishers:

• "The Hand of God" (Grounded Version) - His eyes seem to glow as he holds the claw over the eyes and skull of his foe, growling as he puts more and more pressure into his grip. With His strength, it is more than enough to get a tapout, even without the horrid visions and terror that the hold seems to bring to those caught in it. He seems to also use it to convert or change those caught in His grasp as well.
  

• "The Golden Ratio"- A Twisting brainbuster that can be hit from seemingly no where. The perfect spiral into death and rebirth. (Behind Version) 

SIGNATURES:

• "Fervent Prayer" (Finger Bending/Snapping Arm Breaker) (Snapping Version used to injure Erin at Tapout 1 and the Ref at Tapout 3) ( Counter Version )

•  "The End Times" (Leaping Guillotine Choke)
•  "His Puppet" ( Using his seemingly otherworldly agility and flexability, he will Counter or Lunge at his foe in unexpected and strange ways.
• "The Eleventh Hour" (Normally used as a Counter or from this Stance, Poena will use his boneless movement to sway/Matrix dodge around an opponent's strike, swinging his body back and around, and swing a heavy punch using the momentum and his full body weight, normally aiming for the Liver Shot or other weak point.)
  
  
  
  SETUP MOVES:
  
  • "Amazing Grace" (Turquoise Poison Mist to the eyes, his opponent falls to their back in pain, shock, and disorientation.)
  • "Repentance" ( Slithers up the opponent and locks in a triangle choke with his side and leg, adding pressure by pulling on his leg  Trust me the Gif helps with this one. Can either hold the move or use it to take a foe to the ground for a transition into something else.)

WRESTLING STYLE:
Sadistic and Technically gifted Poena is a scary person to fight even without his madness. You never know if he will take his foe apart bit by bit or just go for straight maiming them. He enjoys the pain he causes with submission holds but can strike quite well. He tends to be quite disturbing to be in the ring with as well, playing mind games with eerie boneless, puppet-like movement, mad giggles, and mantic tics... Not to mention his strange emotional displays.
ENTRANCE THEME:
"Malleus Maleficarum" by Pete Gundry

ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION:






Nisi per dolorem potest salvari... The lights go pitch back as the eerie bells and words fill the arena. Each time the choir sings, red spotlights blaze down, revealing Poena standing at the top of the ramp, a black silhouette with his arms raised out to the sides with his palms and face up to the heavens. A beam of turquiouse light shines down His laugh manages to pierce the music as he curls his hands into fists, bladed chains on his fingers shifting with the movement. He seems to slither down the ramp, his arms still out as the chains sway and clink. Waiting for him, seemingly from no where, The Child takes the chains off him as he reaches ringside. Poena rolls into the ring onto his knees, laughing madly before screaming out "YOU ARE ALL CAUGHT IN HIS SPIRAL! COME TO HIS RAZOR WIRE EMBRACE!" as the turquiose light explodes into the brightest white. "I AM DEATH! THROUGH ME, YOU WILL BE BORN ANEW!" Poena screams as the lights in the arena also scream back to life and he stands and laughs his soul burning laugh. "Glory Be..."

GIMMICK: A future vessel for Poena's God, she is learning all that Poena can teach her so that she can be worthy.
PICBASE:  (N/A so far)
APPEARANCE: Long Dark Hair which is normally in a braid down her back to show off the scar running down the back of her neck over her shoulder and down her arm.

Unlike most in their early 20s that had faced such treatment she isn't broken by the experience, far from it. Each drop of pain is for Him, and brings her closer to His embrace, to the point she's even cut off one of her pinkey fingers to give to Him.

HAd to update "The Golden Ratio" to fit the Super Finisher section better. The Kick just felt weak compared to the "Hand Of God."

Forgot to add a personal highlight of my time as Poena. Added it to Accomplishments. Thanks again Jack for being so awesome to work with.
