ENTRANCE THEME: Play Dead - Bjork

ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION

Left for ten seconds to their own mechanisms, the crowd can only communicate among themselves. Nothing happened within those ten seconds, causing fans to look among each other for answers. Without warning, all the lights in the arena die out, leaving only darkness over the audience. Lights from camera flashes illuminate the setting before a spotlight fades in. It focuses on the entrance way. The light sound of rain begins, accompanying fog seeping from underneath the stage. In a somber whisper, a voice calls out.

“The blackest night falls from the sky. The darkness grows as all light dies. She craves your hearts and your demise. By her black hand, the dead shall rise.”

Suddenly, obtuse instrumentals blast the audience. The source, “Play Dead" by Bjork infuses with the dreary atmosphere generating on the stage. Fog tinted by rich purple lighting starts to overwhelm the stage, but in the midst of it...a silhouette appears. Stepping out of the all-consuming fog, Sophie El hides her face behind a black veil and her body until a lacy black cloak. On her head, a crown of lilacs, a symbol of passing, offsets the funeral colors that she chooses to bear. She starts down the ramp, not giving a single look to any of the jeering audience.

Sophie stands at the end of the ramp, standing with her hands interlaced. She continues to the stairs, to which she robotically climbs. Once on the ring apron, she slumps on the ropes, before quickly getting into the ring. The awkward pacing of her entrance shows some sort of discourse in the mind of Sophie El. When she gets to the center of the ring, she removes the veil and the crown. As she places it away, she leans onto her corner lazily, lolling her head side to side. As the lights come back from the baptism of deep purple, Sophie’s gaze is shown. Her eyes are glossed over as if none of the world around her matters.

ALIGNMENT

NEUTRAL EVIL

GIMMICK

THE SOPHIE CHANNEL - The most recent manifestation of Sophie El's rotting mind has taken one of her true passions into account. Sophie loves movies. They are the only things that make sense to her anymore. Therefore, she began to create what she thinks is her passion project. THE SOPHIE CHANNEL is a mysterious entity, a nightmarish television show where people have only television screens for faces and laugh in synced stereo. Sophie has split herself into multiple versions of herself, acting out every character in the show. At the end of it, there's a malevolent force of violent evil there. Sophie El wants to drag people into her world, where she's the director, and everyone else is her cast. She can use them to whatever ends she wants. Because she runs the show.

RING PSYCHOLOGY (IN-RING ATTITUDE)

THERE'S POWER IN STILLNESS - Strength is something that she has in spades. Albeit, she's not suited to scooping up people bigger than her. In equal matches, though, Sophie can easily overpower her opponents. In a past life, she was explosive. She would charge out of the gate to take her opponents down. Now, she saunters, becoming a quiet predator. Thus, she tends to gain an element of surprise on enemies not expecting her explosiveness.

WRESTLING STYLE

ENTERTAINER: Your character feeds off of the crowd, giving them what they want and using their cheers to drive them toward victory.

POWERHOUSE: Your character relies on brute strength and size to simply throw their opponents around the ring, using high impact moves - often to make up for sub par technical capabilities.

ATTITUDE TOWARDS CHEATING

OCCASIONAL

STRENGTHS

1. GOOD LORD, SHE'S MIGHTY - Sophie has incredible strength, being able to lift a man up with relative ease. For some reason, she has learned ways of being to manhandle a common heavyweight. As such, her strength has been revered. That being said, Sophie relies on powerful grapples to keep the match in her favor. It is slightly shocking to people that she can truck a grown man with a tackle. She may be supernatural, who knows?

2. GOOD LORD, SHE'S TANKY - Due to Sophie's burning sludge that is a brain, she can take a lot of damage. Her body computes it for a moment before she's back to fighting. She's akin to a horror movie monster there.

3. APATHY TOWARDS HER CAST - There's no ends to Sophie's creativity when it comes to hurting others. Everyone's replaceable.

WEAKNESSES

1. NO CHOKES / PNIGOPHOBIA - The girl only has one trigger to her. If her opponent tries to choke Sophie out, expect a violent storm to follow. Unknown to Sophie currently, but her amnesia came as a result of her last match in GPW. The horrible beating that she received ended with her opponent nearly choking her to death. As such, her mind decided to lock away all the previous thoughts for self-preservation. Yet, one chokehold opens the door slightly, activating a serious fight or flight mechanism in Sophie. The violence that comes after the attempt might grant Sophie a DQ loss and a fine for how badly she assaults her opponent. 

2. STILNESS, NOT SWITFNESS - Sophie's not going to chase around fast people. She prefers her straight up fights.

3. NO SILLY MESS - Sophie's not here for silly match types. Or silly people. Or silly whatever. She's a vengeful, malevolent spirit. She'll more likely kill someone than put up with their antics.

BIOGRAPHY
Sophie Magda Vandyne came into the world unexpectedly. Her parents did not necessarily think they were fit for another child. With five other kids, Sophie’s arrival left people flabbergasted. But like all the others, Leon and Maribel Vandyne fell in love with the doe-eyed girl. She grew up in the Kaiser Stronghold, watching her siblings learn the craft of wrestling. She, on the other hand, enjoyed painting and making things with her artsy mother.

Over time, Sophie grew and grew. Her interest in the family business only grew along with her height. She then became ambitious to follow her older siblings’ footsteps and start wrestling. She underwent rigorous training until she proved that she was fit to carry on the Kaiser name. One by one, her siblings left, going all over the world to wrestle. Sophie saw that a few had gone to America and found success. Graduating from high school, she decided that she would follow suit.

She worked small shows at first, getting used to the professional setting. That was until her older sister, Artemis, offered her a spot in Girl Power Wrestling. She went there, excited to work in the same place as her role model. There, she went under the radar. But no one could doubt her immense skill. She went undefeated, breaking the record for the longest undefeated win streak with seven defining wins. She had a five star, match of the year candidate match. Most importantly, she became the de-facto leader of The Sleepover Club, a team of upbeat girls that impressed more and more each day.

She trained her stablemates, leading them to rack up win after win. She helped them become a defined name and threat in the tag team division of GPW. However, all was not well for her. Amidst all of rivalries and friendships, Emma Carlisle sought to destroy her. She maintained a constant rivalry with the Sleepover Club until Sophie stood up, being their strongest member.

After annoying Carlisle to the point of complete, unbridled rage, they were granted a match against one another. The story of Sophie Kaiser, the Sunshine Maiden, ended there. In a brutal match, Emma Carlisle caused damage to Sophie’s skull and almost choked the life out of her. The trauma and immense pain struck Sophie’s mind greatly. To prevent further damage to her psyche, her mind decided that Sophie Kaiser did not need to exist anymore.

In the span of one match, Sophie’s relationship with her family, her girlfriend (Valkyrie Lange), and the Sleepover Club faded into oblivion. There, they were consumed and ripped apart. When Sophie woke up in the hospital a month after, she met the gazes of people unfamiliar. Those people were supposedly her family. Their grief did not affect her, only causing confusion in her mind. She was effectively no one, a new soul brought into the world as a result of a tragedy.

As unknown to the world as a newborn child, Sophie decided that her mind erased everything for a reason. Despite the many objections from doctors and family alike, Sophie left Sophie Kaiser behind. Sophie Kaiser died in the ring mentally. Her body still remained, but a new person filled it. Her name was El, Sophie El. She knew that she was a wrestler. So she decided to continue that career in honor of the fallen warrior. GPW was dead when she woke up. So she decided that she would start her new life in a new, unfamiliar place. Hard Knox Wrestling had opened its doors for new applicants. She passed all their tests, showcasing her latent skill to them. In a short while, she was signed to the new brand, SubVersion. On the first night, she became the first-ever person to appear on the show, making history.

Sophie El had become the First Daughter of SubVersion. She had not felt happiness ever before, but she did there. With her paintings, she found peace. The girl went on to meet people and befriend some. The most notable being Luke Wisia, a man who gave Sophie shelter, despite only knowing her for a short while. She also found a new love in one Nene Abruti, a woman who helped Sophie regain her sense of physicality. She had found balance in her new life, but tragedy was always a step behind.

November 23rd, 2015: After a celebration party, Sophie and Luke were on their way back to Luke’s house. As they were traveling down the Lincoln Highway, a boy named Marcus Catha leaped out in front. A bloody mess came from it and a boy lost his life that day. Sophie and Luke had made a new connection with each other. They were both the last people to see Marcus breathing. Sophie decided right then and there that she would be there for Luke no matter what. Through calamity, two friends for life were made.

As of late, Sophie has gained not only a few friends but a mentor and a lover. Lady Magdalena Lasiewicz became a figure of Sophie’s idolization. He sought her out and impressed her with her artistic ability and her potential. After this, Magdalena brought Sophie in as her close associate. Sophie began to treat Magdalena as a motherly figure, working closely with her to train herself. However, she also found herself enamored with one Anastasia Starling, a former student of Magdalena.

An attack made by Jackson Magnum resulted in Sophie's mind changing once more. Now, she stands as a mixture of the two bodies influencing her. Sophie El, the fairy-like girl merged in with Sophie Kaiser, the dark and menacing being that locked herself away. What stands now is a still fragmented, but now truly awake woman bent on doing what she wants to become legendary.

August 28th, 2016: After four months of torment and self-realization, Sophie El conquered her biggest demon, Jackson Magnum. In the second Hybrid Hell, Sophie followed her mentor, Magdalena Lasiewicz, and her fiancée, Anastasia Starling, into the death chamber. In the final moments, Sophie and Magnum stared each other down. Many say they recounted every horrific event that led to the moment. With possibly the hardest Split the Sky, she put down Magnum down for the three count. With the victory, she once again defeated Jackson Magnum. Yet, with said victory, she became the HKW Hybrid Champion, capturing her first-ever championship after such a grueling length of time.

March 7th, 2017: At Destiny 3, Sophie El organized the Ultimate Sacrifice match, a variation on the Luchas de Apuestas. Competitors must nominate something they will sacrifice. Lady Magdalena, Elijah Black, Beth Keaton, and Sophie El walked into this match. It was a grueling bout, but it ended with Lady Magdalena pinning Sophie El, thus ending the girl's historic reign as champion.

April 23th, 2017: Sophie, out of nowhere, turned on Levi Chambers in a tag team match. This settled here as a malevolent force in HKW. An embroiled feud ends with Sophie defeated, but ultimately resolute in her ambitions. HKW closed soon after.

Pro Wrestling NEO was a time, and now she has appeared in Revival.

Like the apparition she is.
