Control.
It's the definition of autonomy. Control is access - it's options - it's wealth, it's sustainability, it's everything. For Santiago, it is everything.
After his first major career win in a fight, Nathaniel was left with one gift - adaptability. There is no mountain Nathan cannot climb twice. Whether it's stamina, strength, or skill, Nathan consumes part of his opponent in a loss and understands how they beat him. It's let him understand what control truly is. Better yet, what it truly isn't.
Winning?
Being part of the most dominant stable in the network?
Holding two title belts?
Being able to beat down anyone without fear of consequences?
It's all a fucking distraction. Control isn't about being able to do what you want - that's an immature, ridiculously absurd way of framing the issue that Nathaniel once subscribed. Having control means taking it away from others. Control is gravity. You don't notice it when you have it. You absolutely notice it when you don't. This is Demon Drago's world - the rest can free-float endlessly, subject to the consequences of his actions.
VITAL STATISTICS
RING NAME: Drago
NICKNAMES: the Hero-Killer, the Final Boss, The One-Winged Angel,
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5'10" tall, 210
HOMETOWN: Kalamazoo, Michigan
AGE: 29
ALIGNMENT: Heel-leaning Tweener
GIMMICK:
Where to start - in Nathan's matches, he's typically extremely focused and attentive while trying to measure opponents, getting them to unveil their strategies, or recognizing their preferred weapons. He's a slow, steady, and methodical fighter. His bragging right is his absolutely high threshold for punishment - pain is his communion, and he's interested in taking all of his opponents to church. After he recognizes the strategy of his opponent, he begins to try taking apart his opponents by disarming them - fast, quick fighter? Have fun trying to move with your legs kicked to pieces. Strong, bulky fighter? Have fun getting your shoulder slammed into the ring steps. After calculating opponent's strategies, Drago uses his offense to weaken their defenses, then he finishes the match once they've taken too much damage to stop him.
PICBASE: Oli Sykes

BIOGRAPHY
Nate was born in 1990, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He lived in a Military family for a father in the Army. He has lived in Japan, Hawaii, and Germany as a child before relocating to DC. Was a state-ranked tennis player, before injuring his wrist and missing scholarships/professional opportunities, picked up Krav Maga under his father's advice. Used this as a therapy to cope with his own injury, eventually began exploring professional routes but loathed the MP route his father took into a position with police. Drago ultimately went from using social media to advertise and sell fight videos to professional wrestling in 2016. He ran a federation known as HEAVY METAL for a few years, but had to shut it down after co-owners made a blasphemy of the organization due to advertising/sponsoring from the attention it picked up in West Canada. He did a quick tour to wrestle across the world, before getting an offer from a friend to establish a career.

FIRST COMMANDMENT: ABTOF- Always Be Twisting Opponent's Fingers
SECOND COMMANDMENT: Ring Veteran - Always know where the ring ropes are, and use them or leave the ring as needed.
THIRD COMMANDMENT: Strategic - Pick your enemies apart! Find a weakness, latch on, break them!
If it's sickening, Drago probably does it. Stomping on ligaments, cracking fingers, bending things in ways they're not supposed to be bent, Drago lives for it. His goal is to make the crowd say 'you sick fuck' everytime he enters the ring (in a violent way, not a WEIRD one)
(Note: Trying to move away from cowardly heel, more geared towards psychotic monster. Ty.)

ENTRANCE THEME:
"Advent: One Winged Angel" - by Nobuo Uematsu
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION:
The screen at the entrance ramp shows a mysterious white force making impact with Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, leaving nothing but rubble in its aftermath. The moment it reaches Earth the scene ends, and that screen at the stage entrance goes white, as do all of the screens in the stadium. White lights begin to strobe and flutter around the arena, guitars, violins, and drums begin to play. Rising from the screen at the ring entrance is the dark silhouette of a man, and as he climbs to his feet, a long, black, feathered wing appears on his silhouette, as well as an absolutely massive sword.
With his arrival, the music plays together.
With his arrival, the music plays together.
"Advent: One Winged Angel" - by Nobuo Uematsu begins to blast from the arena's speakers, perfectly synced to the red blaring lighting replacing white. The light of the screen dies, and red lighting blasting across the stadium reveals Santiago standing at the stage entrance. Per rising, Drago 's stoic, scowling face looks over the crowd, the referee, and his opponent. He ignores hands reaching forward from the crowd for high fives, knocks posters out of the way, and taunts the crowd on his way to the ring.
