Why did Engage Wrestling sign you?: Waving spent the following 8 years wrestling in underground fighting promotions up and down the east coast of the United States, and developing a cult following among some of the most rabid of combat sports fans, Caite decided that she was done destroying herself in ultra-violent matches for little to no money. When she heard about Engage, she reached out to them. When rumors of her signing broke, some of her 'fans' turned on her, calling her a sell-out for leaving the indies and the underground scene. Caite acts like she doesn't care, saying that it's time for her to do something for herself, but she longs to be respected as more than just an ultra-violent underground fighter, both by the fans and her peers.

Personality Overview: Caite Blackbird has, for several years now, been one of the most talked-about indy wrestlers in America. She was considered an 'indy purist' by the heavy mark fans, the sort who could never go mainstream, and who would remain their precious secret forever. That all changed, however, when Caite signed with Engage. Now, dubbed a sell-out by the indy fans who have known her for years, and facing the prospect of bringing her unique violent style to a fan-base who don't know her, Caite finds herself entering an unknown world with a hunger to earn her place.
Why they’d be cheered: As brash and as hostile as Caite may sometimes be outside of the ring, inside of it she is daring and exciting to watch. She's violent, innovative and determined to be respected for her abilities as a fighter, all of which have made her a darling of the smark mark indy crowd for years.
Why they’d be booed: Caite loves crushing and humiliating the fan's 'heroes', especially when she feels that they are her inferior in the ring or that they are popular for any reason other than their ability as a fighter.
Reasons to Compete:
- Glory: Your character is all about winning and cannot stand to lose. It sends them into a rage. They have to be the very best and they’ll stop at nothing – for better or worse – to achieve that.
- Bloodlust: Your character is a fighter at heart and gets a thrill from violence. For them, winning and losing is secondary to being able to spill the blood of another human being.
- Passion: All your character has ever wanted to do is wrestle. It’s in their blood; their DNA. They eat, breathe and live this sport and for them it’s a way of life.
Attitude towards Teamwork:
- The Lone Wolf: Your character would never work as part of a team, even if it meant life would be easier by joining forces. They cannot be relied upon to work together. They came into the world alone and will go out alone. They are the epitome of lone wolf.
Tendency to Cheat:
- Never
Theme Music: ‘Mrs. Blackbird' - Dr. Philth
Wrestling Experience: 8
Wrestling Style:
- The Spot Monkey: Relies on shocking high spots, daredevil antics and dangerous risk taking to compensate for lack of technical wrestling ability. Will put everything on the line to entertain fans and overcome the challenger.
- The Strong Stylist: Relies on hard-hitting (often stiff) moves and sharp strikes. Whether it’s punches, chops, kicks, throws or submission holds, this fighter wants to hit hard, hit fast and hurt their foes.
- The Extremist: Relies on weaponry and surroundings to abuse and punish their opponents. Their primary objective, aside from victory, is to maim, bludgeon and incapacitate. Nothing is off limits for this fighter.
- The Hybrid Fighter: Combines a variety of styles from different disciplines to hurt their opponent.
In-Ring Attitude: Caite wants to be respected as one of the most dangerous fighters on the planet. It drives every decision she makes, inside and outside the ring. To this end, she can be cruel & violent, to an extreme.
Tendency to End Fights:
- Outwrestle: Beats the opponent using their preferred wrestling style.
- Outlast: Uses their superb conditioning to wait for the opponent to tire, before ending the fight on their terms.
- Ultra-Violence: Executes vulgar displays of violence and brutality using weapons and their surroundings, leaving their opponent no choice but to concede defeat.
In-Ring Strengths:
- Experience: Caite came up fighting in some of the most ultra-violent and unlawful promotions on the planet, becoming a star in barroom basements and high-school gyms. She's fought many of the most violent fighters in the sport, and has beaten many of them.
- Hunger: Caite pushes herself hard. She wants to be respected and recognized as one of the very best fighters to have ever lived. She wants it more than anything else in life, and it is the driving force behind every decision she makes.
- Violence: Caite has developed a unique style and in-ring code. She won't cheat, but knows how to use anything and everything allowed withing the given rules of a match for maximum damage. She creates innovative spots and attacks, all with the goal of hurting her opponents in mind.
In-Ring Weaknesses:
- Lack Of Technique: While Caite has developed her own unique hybrid fighting style, there are not a lot of traditionally technical fighters in the world she came up in. As a result, she has less experience fighting opponents with these more standard technical styles.
- Instinct: Caite isn't a 'thinking man's' fighter, by any means. Everything from her style to her strategy is based solely in instinct. She is primal and fights with a quiet fury, but she can be out-smarted inside the ring.
- Drive: The thing that burs in Caite that drives her to fight, the thing she counts on, can fail her if it becomes obvious that the odds are stacked too gratly against her. This is rare, due to Caits unwavering confidence in her own ability, but if she starts to despair and believe she's beat, it can become a self-fufilling prophecy. This is most apparent when Caite is aware that an opponent is cheating and getting away with it.
