GIMMICK: C is an enigmatic being whose sole purpose is to purify professional wrestling from those that have defiled the sport with their egotistical and unethical ways. In his eyes, it is suffering and needs to be healed before it is completely and utterly destroyed. Those who share his sentiment may agree with his mission, while others may find such lofty goals to be naive at best, or downright pretentious at worst. Regardless, C is the karma that is long overdue, and he seeks to do everything in his power to spark this necessary change.
RINGSIDE INFORMATION.
THEME MUSIC: "So Real" by Jeff Buckley.
ENTRANCE: The gentle strums of a guitar resonate in the arena as "So Real" by Jeff Buckley begins to play. For a moment, it goes completely black. It isn't until Jeff starts to croon the first verse that a lone spotlight shines onto the center of the stage. Within the light stands the man known as C. His eyes are covered and his hands hold a bunch of flowers as he makes his slow descent down the ramp.
Announcer: "Hailing from Ely, Cambridgeshire, England, he is "The Purifier", ... C!"
As the song kicks into the chorus, C enters the ring and gets into a kneeling position in the middle of the mat. Hands still wrapped around the bouquet of [insert flowers that would be a good fit for the opponent(s) here], he utters a little prayer to himself. He rises and gets to his corner, gingerly placing the flowers down. The veil around his eyes is removed, being set aside. C leans against the turnbuckle before squatting down. A calm look sits comfortably upon the young man’s face as he waits patiently for the match to get underway.

NOTES.
IN GENERAL.
C maintains a calm demeanor, but there have been a few times where he has shown to be desperate. He has also expressed his frustrations with opponents a few times.
One thing that is certain to tick him off is any insinuation that he is a selfish individual. To him, his mission is bigger than him; while championships and other accolades are nice and may even help to aid in his cause, above all else, he hasn’t embarked on this crusade to fatten his ego.
He is uncomfortable with the idea of being seen as a king/pariah/conqueror/etc. As he once said to two certain world champions: “I'm not here to be a king. I do not need to be constantly seeking praise and worship from people that I disparagingly view as being below me. I am nothing like you or Arata. Fear and idolation are what the two of you want. Not me. I do not wish to be like how you two are now. Don't you ever try and push that sort of foolishness onto me ever again.”
As shown a few times throughout his career, C does maintain a good sense of humor.
Even if he may chastise a combatant for their perceived flaws in his eyes, he still tries to see the good in people. He ultimately just wants everyone to change for the better and go back to the pure-hearted spirit they had when they initially decided to get into professional wrestling.
After his loss to Diantha Rosso, C has started to see things in black and white less. He realizes that some decisions made by wrestlers can have complicated reasoning behind them. Of course, this doesn't mean he'll look past an egregious act of '"sin" a wrestler may commit in their pursuit for greatness, but he may at the very least be sympathetic to some of the talent in OWA.
C has an interest in Floriography. As such, he often carries with him a bouquet of flowers with him to represent his opponent(s).
C is half Anglo-Saxon and half Japanese. Or, to put it simply in OWA terms: he would be the product of both iterations of Stark having a baby.
IN-RING.
His wrestling style can be considered a mix of technical, speed, and high-flying. He is adaptable and will try to switch things up in order to come up with the most appropriate strategy to utilize in a match.
Regardless of a wrestler's standing, C will always take his opponent seriously. Every match matters in his eyes, be it against a newcomer or an established name.
While he doesn't have any particular fears or a match he dislikes, he does get a bit antsy in situations where he is outnumbered. Personal experience and whatnot.
C is known for his uncanny resilience and tenacity.
Think of him as a less-experienced ZSJ/Kenny/Finn/Okada hybrid.
