Description In honor of LGBTQ appreciation month I figured I would update this character since he is my LGBT character!


Another commission from who never disappoints! 

Wraith may not have a great record but it can't be denied that his wars are the fights are the stuff of boxing legends! He hasn't won any belts and he has been knocked down a number of times he has always gotten back up and finished the fight. Even when he is trying to stay on his feet he'll weather the storm. He's always moving forward, even when he's hurt. He brings an intensity into a fight and he's always right there... right in your face with an intensity and determination that intimidates even the most seasoned professional fighters.
Like most of my characters he has a supernatural background and his name is intentionally on the nose. People walking around passing him on the streets or boxing him in the ring wont ever realize that wraith is a wraith. He was an angry and terrorizing ghost. When his curse was broken and everything that tied him to the earth was gone he had decided he would stick around a while as one of us. His life was cut short and when he had the opportunity to have a good life living like one of us, then what the hell, why not? He is tangible and doesn't do anything spectral in the ring, you'd never know it just shaking his hand. Only his closest friends know his secret.

He is a hard guy not to like. Outside of the ring he's a laid back dude. He's a drummer and a surfer dude and prefers sleeping under the stars on the beach. He'll crash at a friend's house if the weather is too bad but will always carry his weight even if it's for a night. He'll cook dinner or wash dishes or whatever, he'll behave more like a host than a guest. 

 

When I designed him as a fighter I was watching the Arturo Gatti vs Mickey Ward trilogy and he has a little bit of both of them in there. Mickey Ward was a fighter who was brought back into the spotlight when his career was damn near over when he took on Arturo Gatti. Both of them had their careers on the ropes and the all out WAR on each other. At one point they beat each other up so badly they both went to the hospital and as if by fate it turned while they were there they found out they were sharing a room at the hospital! They both thought it was great and when Ward retired he became part of Gatti's team as Gatti went on to become a big deal. It's hard not to be inspired by stories like that, especially when those kinds of things happen for real!
Wraith belongs to me. 
Art belongs to and if you fave it here for me, then go to her account and fave it over there for her. She deserves it!

He is looking badass here, as well as damn determined.

Yeah, he uses that to break through an opponent's defense. The moment his opponent opens up to throw a punch even in the slightest suddenly there he is, right there, with all of that intensity as those bright blue eyes cut right through the soul and the opponent thinks "GEEZUS!"

I haven't done much character development with him, but am taking more interest in him. Which is kind of sad because he's one of my oldest creations. Until the past few months he hasn't even had a real solid name. He came back into my imagination when I was popping in old WWE games where I created most of my characters, co workers, and friends and had a big battle royale and thought, "I can work with this."

I actually like hearing that. You're taking characters that you thought you had little use for in the past suddenly give you inspiration.

I'd like to hear more about this guy. What's he like? What does he like to do? How old is he? What's his favorite food? When's his birthday?

What I do know about him is that being a ghost he died in his early 20s. He tried to make a move from boxing to muay thai and was folding over from a knee strike and his over excited opponent threw a kick on his way down and caught him right across the face with a kick to the face with the shin. The bridge of his nose was shattered and both eye sockets. They were able to do reconstructive surgery but his eyesight wasn't restored enough for him to continue being a fighter, he was legally blind. Depression took over as he couldn't find things he could do and eventually did the unthinkable and took his own life. That's what kept him from moving on and he was tied to where he was buried and his anger grew, he hated that opponent and all he wanted was a chance to haunt that opponent that kicked him. He was released from that hell when that opponent visited his grave saying he had heard what happened and had been looking for his final resting place and Wraith got to see inside the opponent's soul and realized his opponent was distraught over what happened, never wanting to hurt Wraith and blamed himself. Wraith couldn't hate the guy and that's when he was able to move on, but chose to stay because he was still young and was offered a chance to kind of pick up where he left off by Dusty. So he has a great passion for life and lives it to his fullest. He doesn't have need for material posessions, just having fun and being a boxer. 
He surfs, hangs out on the beach, and is a rocker. Usually you'd see him wearing a jean jacket with the sleeves torn off and a band T shirt. He can dress like that without coming off as a punk mostly because of the way he carries himself and how his face naturally rests. 
As for favorite food, I'm not sure off hand, most of my characters have a favorite, Repo is a cook at heart so he'll eat anything as long as it's meat, though hamburgers are his favorite. Sierra likes Tex Mex. Prowl is all about Chinese food. So I'm not real sure on Wraith. My gut says probably sushi.
