Pale skinned and scarred. Deceptively strong as he appears more lanky than muscular at 6'3" and 207lbs. Long black raven’s hair in a half-shaved style. Has an "X" scar carved out into his right temple (the shaved side). He has a bloody smiley tattoo on his left pectoral and a crappy looking barbed wire tattoo on his right bicep. Has a blood dripping styled "friends 2 the end" tattooed across his abdomen. His ring attire consists of black boots with orange laces and olive trim. He wears a pair of long wrestling tights with blood spatter patterns on them and the picture of Lady Justice with her eyes gouged out on his left leg. A symbol of hands cupping an eyeball in ancient temple worship on the outer left leg. "AP" at an angle on a spiral on the outer right leg. One would think a psychotic motherfucker like Arthur wouldn’t wear knee pads, but he does. More ironically, than anything. They’re, uh, black.

ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION:
THEME SONG:
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION (OPTIONAL): The horrific screeching of violins cut through the arena like a rusty, dull knife through flesh as “Danse Macabre”, the classic orchestral piece written and composed by Camille Saint-Saëns and condensed into a much more frightening version for entrance theme’s sake, plays throughout the arena. Soon thereafter enters Arthur Pleasant. Standing with his arms out and a sick smile plastered on his pale, evil face, Arthur Pleasant sniffs the air with his eyes closed.Taking in the derogatory chants from the Faithful, Arthur simply begins skipping down the ramp in utter delight. Arthur enters the ring by sliding underneath the bottom rope and promptly runs the ropes a few times, making a mockery out of colleagues who like to warm up before a match.
Retreating to the corner furthest from the ramp, Arthur hunkers down with his arms holding onto the top ropes at his sides and sitting on the middle turnbuckle. A lustful look bearing the need for violence and mayhem, Arthur grins as widely as his jaw and skin will allow him to while he waits for his opponent to make their presence known.

GIMMICK: At it's (im)purest form, Arthur is just a really dark and disturbed person. He is an irredeemable soul who loathes the wrestling industry due to his childhood being adversely affected by it. Because of this, he takes out his hatred on all those around him in the most violent, sadistic ways imaginable. He loves violence as one might love their Grandma. When he speaks he does so in a contemptuous, cynical tone. Every visceral word is hidden beneath a thin veneer of kindness. Every malignant syllable is hidden beneath a wicked smile and a sickening laugh. Arthur defines the term “sociopath” with uncanny accuracy through his boundless charisma which enables him to take control of others with a cult-leader type of personality.

BIOGRAPHY
At the young age of twelve, Arthur Pleasant murdered his own adoptive Mother, Loretta Pleasant, in cold blood. Shooting her right in the heart in front of his adoptive Father, Roy Pleasant, Arthur determined from a very young age that a conventional lifestyle was not in the cards for him. After the murder, Arthur had been subjected to various psychological evaluations and spent a significant amount of time in an undisclosed institution somewhere up in Washington state. At the age of eighteen, Arthur had been released and made his way to Japan with very little in the way of money. A life of crime would follow him all throughout the rest of his teens and well into his twenties as he would find admittance into one of the most dangerous criminal organizations in the entire world - the Yakuza.
It was through the Yakuza that Arthur Pleasant found direction in his life and a means to continue inflicting pain upon others. But it was through their crime syndicate-funded Dojo that he learned his craft as a professional wrestler, eventually becoming an icon of the Japanese Death Match by winning various tournaments, titles, and the admiration of the blood thirsty audiences that saw him as a hero inside the hallowed halls of Korakuen.
Three years into his budding wrestling career, Arthur found himself excommunicated from the Yakuza after a series of unfortunate incidents that involved the death of the daughter of an Oyabun. Not many details are known about this incident, other than the fault of it can directly be tied to Arthur Pleasant. Refusal in performing the ritual of “Yubitsume” would have otherwise condemned him to death if it weren’t for a friendship with a future Obayun named Masahiko of the Inagawa-kai clan.
At the age of 24, Arthur found his way back to the United States. It was in Alpha Pro Wrestling where Arthur Pleasant made his American professional wrestling debut, though to little to no fanfare as they only saw him as a “Garbage Wrestler”, despite Arthur’s Muay-Thai prowess and ability to put on a wrestling clinic from time to time. Pleasant fed off of their derision, however, and performed shocking acts of violence in various hardcore matches, eventually finding himself in a controversial match over in, of all places, Chernobyl.
Meandering from bingo hall to American Legion for the next few years after he was deemed “Too HOT for TV” in APW, Arthur Pleasant made his way to various promotions across the country. In Las Vegas, he found SHOOT Project. In New Orleans, he found DEFIANCE Wrestling, and in Chicago, he found High Octane Wrestling. The Provocateur, as he became known as, led a group of criminals and psychopaths called "The Collective" in SHOOT Project. While remaining undefeated, Arthur Pleasant captured one of SHOOT Project's most elite championship accolades from its 20-year storied history-- the Iron Fist Championship, after defeating legend and Hall of Famer Azraith DeMitri for it. It was also here where it was revealed by a colleague that Arthur Pleasant’s real last name was “Van Warren”, and that he was the son of SHOOT Project Hall of Famer and 7-Time World Heavyweight Champion, X-Calibur.
In High Octane Wrestling, Arthur Pleasant side-stepped politics and found himself rapidly climbing up the ladder, and even accomplishing the unthinkable, gaining entry into the coveted WAR GAMES where the HOW World Championship was always on the line. Though failing to bring home the gold, Arthur did take a chunk of Scottywood’s ear after swinging a mace. To this day, he can be seen wearing the shriveled piece of flesh in a vial as a necklace.
Over in DEFIANCE Wrestling, Arthur Pleasant became ostracised for his penchant for violence as he mixed it up with former World Champions, Lindsay Troy and Bronson Box, even defeating the former in a straight up wrestling match. For nearly a year, Arthur has led a group of forgotten undercardsmen to prominence, calling themselves the Scourge.
Competing in each company and finding a measure of success everywhere he went, Arthur Pleasant has not stopped himself from trying to find the right audience for his “next act”. Each scar on his body tells a story, and as he sets his sights on Project: Honor, one can count on Arthur adding a few pieces to the grand narrative.
