Entrance Description (please keep simple and adequate for an indie promotion): Tiger Mask Red walks out onto entry way, he stops and drops to one knee, flipping off the crowd. As he walks down to the ring he stops repeated to threaten fans with the back of his hand. He jumps up onto the apron, springboards of the top rope and rolls into the middle of the ring up to one knee where he once again flips off the crowd before going to wait in his corner.
Personality (a brief description of your wrestler as a person and an athlete): When Eli Buchanan puts on the hood of Tiger Mask Red, he becomes something dark and twisted, feral at times. He uses a fixture of Lucha Libre, Japanese Strong Style and a suplex heavy offence. He is not to be taken lightly. It's often more important to him to hurt an opponent than defeat them, which has led him to use both fireballs and poison mist
Alignment: Heel
Allies (if any): Hammerstein (theirs is a complicated alliance at best)
Rivals (if any):
Strengths (2 or more): Well rounded (his broad range of styles makes him a good match for most competitors), mind games (it's as much about breaking you down mentally, as it is physically), resilient (can take quite a beating and bounce back)

Biography (extended background on your character): Born Elijah Buchanan Jr, he grew up as the son of Canada's Ambassador to Mexico and it was there he fell in love with lucha libre. At the age of 17, he joined a local wrestling school in Mexico City, were after a month's training, a fellow student tried to stab him and he suffered minor injuries. From there he was invited to go train at the BATTLE Japan Dojo in Tokyo, where he thrived. It was there he was given the mask by this mentor and became Tiger Mask Red. An injury would sideline him and when he resurfaced, it was as a madman who tried to burn down any company who was crazy enough to sign him.
With the help of his loved ones he was able to recover his sanity, but a second injury that supposedly sidelined him for good sent him back on path to insanity. Now whenever the darkness inside him becomes too much, he puts the mask back on. Run little sheep, the tiger is on the hunt.
