CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Disposition / Alignment: Chaotic Good
Fighting Style: Powerhoss (Powerhouse wrestling blended with that vintage old school swagger)
Brief Explanation of Character's Gimmick: Once an Army Ranger and Olympic Wrestler, Luce lost everything after a lengthy prison sentence, but with a second chance at life, the Luce Cannon wants to prove to the world and himself that he can compete at the highest levels. Outside of the ring, Luce is a kind, but extremely passionate man that wears his emotions on his sleeve. But never mistake his kindness for weakness, for in the ring? The Luce Cannon carefully walks the line between controlled passion, and unadulterated frenzy. The large man fiercely believes in honor and respect. Always willing to give the respect that is deserved, but demands the same in return. Bar none, he hates nothing more than those who abuse their strength.
In-Ring Strengths:
Absurd strength: Luce is capable of feats of strength that are normally considered “impossible” by most competitors.
Olympic Wrestler: Luce learned how to wrestle shortly after learning how to walk. Even with ring-rust, Luce is a natural in the ring.
Anger: Ever seen the Incredible Hulk? If properly provoked, Luce can channel his anger into incredibly short bursts of near-superhuman ability. Which could be just enough to overcome otherwise impossible odds.
In-Ring Flaws:
Anger: To follow up on Anger, it is exhausting. If pushed to an outburst too early, Luce will be too gassed to finish the fight victorious. Additionally, an angry Luce, is to put it simply, a dumber Luce. In a frenzied state, Luce can easily fall into traps, lethal counterattacks, or even lose by disqualification.
Mileage: Between age, wrestling, and a career as an Army Ranger, Luce’s hips and knees suffer from chronic joint pain. Luce is slower than other competitors, less likely to take high-risk spots, and generally less agile and flexible than the other competitors.
Stamina: Wrestling is a young man’s game. Luce can still “go” but it’s clear that Luce can’t keep a high-tempo and needs to keep matches moving at his pace if he wants to last.
Ring Attire: Wrestling singlet, with knee pads worn well-below the knee.
Backstage Attire: Modest clothing, either baggy workout clothes or a humble collar shirt and slacks for more professional appearances.

MINI BIOGRAPHY
Believe it or not, Luce Canaan was once a frail, sickly Jewish child. Combining that with a girl’s name, Luce learned quickly the importance of strength. In order to be violent, one must be strong. Luce wanted to use that strength for good. To be a protector for those unable to defend themselves. Luckily for the Luce Cannon, puberty hit the young boy like a truck. Luce dominated the nation at the 235+ weight class, and with his physical stature still growing, colleges from all over the nation wanted Luce to attend their school. (An often-disputed rumor was that EWC offered Luce a singles contract at the age of 17. Both President Mac and Luce refuse to comment.)
Instead, Luce enlisted with the US Army, and joined the special operations force, the Army Rangers, and served as a rifleman. The young, romantic man thought it best for him to use his strength to defend his country, and to defend people from evil. Luce served the Rangers honorably, even once being awarded the Silver Star for his feats of bravery in the battle of Haditha Dam. And while Luce made it out relatively physically unscathed, the emotional turmoil weighed heavy on the young man’s massive heart. Leading him to develop an infamously short temper that more often than not got the better of him.
First-hand sight of the aftermath of war disillusioned Luce to the cause. After finishing a tour in Afghanistan, Luce successfully tried-out for the US Army’s Olympic team and returned to the sport that originally gave Luce his strength, wrestling. Tragically, Luce in a bout of drunken rage, inadvertently killed a fellow service member in a bar fight. After admitting guilty on all counts, Canaan was removed from the Olympic team and served a 6 year prison sentence in Colorado.
While Luce qualified for parole early into his sentence, Luce took years to be approved. Largely in part to the prison guards using Luce as a prizefighter. Five years into his six year sentence, Luce was finally a free man. But with only a high school diploma, and a Dishonorable Discharge looming over Luce, the Luce Cannon had to find work as a bouncer for Jason Anderson and his Gentlemen's club. On his nights off, Luce worked various independent circuits. He'd fight anywhere that would book him. Eventually, Luce finally got the call of a life time and a chance at redemption. While significantly older than the rest of the NextGen roster, the passionate Olympian brings several lifetimes of experience.
