REIKO

Tendency to Cheat: Sometimes – Unlike her brother, Drexel, Reiko is far more concerned with winning and will do whatever it takes to ensure that happens. She doesn’t go that direction if she doesn’t have to but if a match is going south, she’s not above utilizing her surroundings or even a foreign object to secure a win.

Gimmick Description: Reiko is quiet, but her arrogance shines through in her demeanor. Not only is she dangerous, she’s smart and she knows it. As the only adopted daughter of Charles Adler Grimwood, she fancies herself as “chosen.” Obsessive personality.

Brief Biography (optional): After the mysterious death of her birth parents in Japan, Charles Adler Grimwood adopted Reiko as an infant and bestowed his surname upon her. It is believed that this gesture, for reasons unknown, might have led to his dismissal from several covens. While unusual that he would do such a thing, Reiko quickly began to show her worth, proving to be competent in the dark arts and proficient in… pretty much everything else she put her mind to: piano, violin, martial arts, and her favorite hobby, professional wrestling. Seeing the sport for what it is, a breeding ground for the seven deadly sins, Charles allowed Reiko to indulge in this fantasy so that he may harvest the dark energy for his own purpose. Reiko has genius level intellect and a ruthless killer instinct to go with it, making her especially dangerous in that she can be even more creative while destroying her opponents. She also has skill in conjuring and has shown signs of having the ability to see moments in time, past or present, with the right motivation and triggers. She is the daughter he always wanted, much to the chagrin of his actual daughter, Hawlee. Reiko lives for two things in this world, her loyalty to the First of the Fallen, and her own competitive nature. With the Grimwoods having been hidden in the dark for so long, she intends to see them thrust back into the spotlight and with that, all of the credit.

Entrance Description (optional): Not going to break down a full-on entrance here but will state that, unless circumstances called for it differently, Reiko is typically cold and focused during her entrance, like the thrill of competition puts her at ease. This would likely change if there were actual heat with her opponent or if this were a pay-off to a blood feud.

Additional Notes about the Character: Reiko’s confidence borders on arrogance and often crosses the line. Prefers to start out slow and then “explode,” firing off salvos of high-flying maneuvers and flurries of strikes and offense intended to end the match suddenly. Reiko has no concern for her own well-being, much less her opponents. She wants to win, that’s all she cares about. Reiko will become harsher as the match drags on or as desperation begins to set in.

1. Charles Adler Grimwood – The patriarch of the Grimwood family. He is the manager and the money behind this endeavor. Charles is an old time Satanist and conjuror who has traveled all around the world in pursuit of the ultimate power. Sensing that his estranged son, Drexel, is on the cusp of discovering such power, Charles has welcomed him back into the fold.
2. Hawlee Grimwood – Hawlee is the curator of the Grimwood family. She is the “normal” Grimwood sibling, having accepted The Desolate One as her master but never pursuing power beyond her mortal form like the others. She is tasked with managing the family fortune and maintaining their legacy. Kind and quiet demeanor, despite her devotion to the Master of Abortions. She is the worst.
3. Mordo – Mordo is one of the Grimwood family’s loyal servants. More than a little creepy and unsettling, Mordo knows every nook and cranny of Grimwood Manor and uses that knowledge to his advantage. He’s been with the Grimwood family for years. You could say… he’s always been here.
4. Suvi – The ageless, seductive maid who dwells about Grimwood Manor. Natural rival of Mordo which may date back longer than anyone truly knows. Devoted servant with no sense of personal space.
5. Belshazzar – Loyal pet and family mascot, a black goat that wanders the grounds.
