The Orange Coeurl

The Orange Coeurl is a member of the C-tribe, born and raised to revere the animal from which he derives his stage name. It is believed that the Spirit of the Coeurl resides within him. He demonstrates strength, speed, and endurance beyond what his body should normally be capable of, as well as the ability to channel Levin to an extreme.Holding to the nature of the Coeurl as a hunter, he is compelled to always seek out challenges... But this is balanced against his ability to seemingly never take anything seriously. Sometimes he underestimates who he's fighting with, or doesn't bother to take things seriously until it's too late. There... may be a more noble streak in him, as demonstrated by his past actions... Maybe he's finally grown past where he started?With CRW's fate settled after the feud with Paradigm, Coeurl chose to hand the league to 'Blue Shoes' to run. The Vanguard he'd built to defend the league was entrusted to Rey del Mar to carry on. It was time for the Orange One to figure out where he stood now that he'd won. Who was he when he didn't have something to chase? Something to push him to fight?

The CRW’s Dragon herself. Bookwyrm has ever been drawn to an entertaining story, and not shy about diving in herself. Originating with a brief run as a forgettable imperial wrestler, Lux Lacerta, she migrated in and out of the wrestling scene until joining in at the founding of the CRW. After a failed team up early on in the CRW's history, Bookwyrm has grown cynical and spiteful. An angry beast willing to try and destroy anything she views as having drawn her ire. Despite being physically capable, she finds she works at her best scheming the rise and fall of other wrestlers, having facilitated the rise of multiple champions in her teammates.And support her teammates she will, Bookwyrm isn’t afraid to push (or flat out ignore) the rules. Brutalizing opponents, interfering in matches, distracting referees. Nothing is off limits when it comes to supporting those she deems worthy of her aid or even considers ‘friends’. And even less can stop her when it comes to hurting or ruining those she despises.

Blue Shoes

A diligent and determined, albeit animated, Referee who believes in the utmost of Authority. Specifically her own. Head Referee of the CRW, she ensures that all who join understand one key principle before they put the suspenders on. In the Ring is her domain and all abide by her rules or they'll find nothing but fast counts and DQs in their future.Having been promoted to the General Manager of the CRW's daily operations, it has fallen to her to handle contract negotiations, talent relations, week to week booking and ensuring all Ring Staff are up to the adequate level expected of the CRW's most crucial puzzle pieces.Even from her position outside the ring, those who still earn her ire will know torment within it. She who picks the referees, match types, and stipulations now has an even greater reach to enact her ideal of being the Absolute Authority across the whole promotion.

The Big One Tempestus

Conqueror of the Surf

The Brawling God of La Noscea, the Stud del Sol, the Breaker of a Thousand Holds. "Blazing" Tempestus had it all before coming to Cross Realm Wrestling. Loss after loss mounted. Berated and punished by men that claimed to be wiser than him, Tempestus was pushed to a violent, vitriolic breaking point. In his last match, he tapped out to rival Rey del Mar for the Crystal Facet Championship. Unable to handle what he perceived as the odds stacked against him from the start, Tempestus announced he was quitting, and stripped himself of his gear, setting it alight before leaving.But there were whispers of "The Big One" returning. Divinity soon made manifest, as Tempestus returned to CRW alongside the Wisenam, the Namazu that remade him. With a new, positive attitude and a drive to please the crowd, the Conqueror of the Surf, the Sovereign of Thunder Island, the man known as TBO earned wins and faced losses, forged alliances and rivalries, and would end up taking the Crystal Facet belt in a climactic battle.With Crystal Facet belt's gold on his waist, The Big One continues to ride the waves of fortune for as long as he can.

A masked wrestler who travelled and still travels the world to improve himself. It doesn't matter who's put in front of him, it doesn't matter what they are, and it doesn't matter what the odds are. He will fight anyone and everyone with equal energy. As for who he is, well. You better not try and find that out - he prefers his privacy and the mask and paint is there for such a thing, and invading that earns a one-way ticket to a medical ward.Despite suffering losses at the end of the second season, Rey del Mar still doesn't seem to be losing his stride, optimism, or golden retriever energy. He has even taken to referring to himself as "(the) Unbreakable)". A boast? Or a challenge.

Violet Valkyrie

Violet Valkyrie is a high-flying fighter descended from a legendary family: her mother is the former masked hero and sky-pirate Ianthe of the Cloudburst Corsairs, and her great-grandfather is the famed luchador EL REY MORADO. After the fall of her previous league, she wrestled in NHPW, sometimes unleashing a dangerous alter-ego called “Violent Valkyrie”, before returning to Eorzea to reconcile with her estranged father, the current Orange Coeurl. This reconciliation helped her mend her strained rivalry-turned-friendship with Kaguya, though she complicated matters by starting a relationship with Kuro Usagi.Between CRW seasons, Valkyrie revived her mother’s old faction to challenge her villainous uncle, EL REY MORADO II, and later won the Iron-Hime Tag Tournament alongside Kaguya. Her final NHPW match, a showdown with long-time rival Cobalt Coyote, was cut short when Capt. Keelhauler ambushed both wrestlers and declared himself the new leader of the Mad Mauve Marauders.

Showtime

And Encore

“Hello, my Lovelies! ☆ Did you miss me? (Don’t answer that, I know you did ♥)”The once Ringmaster, now self-acclaimed ‘Showrunner’, has a lot on her mind after a whole season of ups, downs, broken tables, and follies (some at her own expense). Showtime may be full of biases and many, MANY opinions, but being behind the Announce table only gets a pretty face like her so far.. So she’s taking ☆ ‘Her Time’ ☆ with a slice of Encore in the direction of a ‘Bigger’ & ‘Brighter’ CRW. Of course, her best buddy Encore is always along for the ride!Encore is a retired performer Carbuncle kept spoiled and 'big boned' (fat) over the years with never ending treats and affection from Showtime. He is very food motivated, yet doesn't veer far from Showtime's side. He may even perform tricks if you're lucky (assuming the offerings are worth it)!So get ready, folks! (Whether you like it or not,) Iiiit’s ☆ SHOWTIME! ☆

Bluff Eversmoking

Once a known protester and activist, Bluff one day discovered Fog Weed and that changed his life forever. Going from a rebel who thumbed his nose at "The Man" to a slacker more into watching TV, playing video games, and getting high. Thinking one day a number of people broke into his house, defiled a rug of his while stealing a number of lawn gnomes, a semi-high Bluff (who forgot the rug was stained due to a Mountain Dew like soda, and he donated the Gnomes to a charity.) went on a rampage and found himself in the halls of CRW taking a job as a wrestler.In that time he's slowly found himself almost having his "two best friends" broken. Has gotten knocked out a number of times giving him flashbacks to a Sci-fi show about a lost starship with a maybe villain captain. Still Bluff will still go out there and maybe will try to win a match rather than head to the back, smoke and eat nachos.

Mascarita Papas

This familiar masked face is returning to CRW after a vacation back home in Tural. He originally had come to CRW after having been forced to flee TUFF as a villain. Along with a less than scrupulous manager, Doug Daniels III he debuted in CRW. The two were thick as thieves and they stole many matches. However a freak frog splash accident spelled an end to Doug Daniels time in wrestling. Without his influence, Papas had to figure things out on his own.He figured things out, though not entirely on his own. New friends and challenges saw him find a new place to belong. Along the way he redeemed himself and started competing in matches the right way. Helping those who needed help and winning matches again. The cursed mask even stopped yelling at him.Including the match that gave him the right to return back to Tural. A tournament for Luchadors. This time he got to return a hero, and will be bringing that energy back with him to CRW.

Punchline The Clown was introduced into the world of Professional wrestling one day when she happened to come across a wrestling show that was going on at the Carnival she was working at; as a juggler. The artistry,the stories,the athletic skill... All of it caught her attention and she knew this is what she wanted to do.The Clown set out to learn this craft and brought along with her, her natural athleticism and her complete understanding of Clown-Na-Nomics. After she caught her break she ran with it and never looked back ever since. What else is in store for Punchie? She doesn't know either,but she's happy to see what's next in her path!

• Click for a Surprise

After being violently exiled from the now-dissolved Haus of Gogue, "Penny Pummel" had nowhere to go but inwards. Her fantasy life was shattered, her trust was betrayed, and her mammet best friend was bitten in half. Penny shed her childish ways, dedicating herself to tearing down the very system that led her into that life of subjugation. The newly reinvented Bad Penny came back with a lot more muscle and a new punk attitude to throw at people. They called her bad, so she was going to be Bad.Currently teaming with Toki Tornado and former enemy Punchline on the team Re:Mix Down, Bad Penny will keep TURNING UP everywhere she is needed to fight the man, smash the patriarchy, and kick @$$ in the ring. Until she gets fined into oblivion for swearing.

Hero of Tomorrow

The Hero of the Future. The Starlight Savior. Neo Time Princess. Her name is Toki Tornado and she is... Currently late for class. At least, her secret identity is. It turns out that juggling life as a magical girl with trying to get her Star-Engineer's Degree is harder than it seems, even with the ability to travel through time. It seems like every single week there's a new monster she has to fight and it's getting really obnoxious having to laser-beam them to death every time the forces of darkness rear their poorly-lit faces!Fortunately, nowhere in the Magical Girl contract was there any rules against using her powers to sneak time in for friends and other junk. Her current fixation? Carrying on the family business — Wrestling. What wrestling fan hasn't wondered "What if?" when it comes to making their dream matches happen? You could say going back in time lets her live her ultimate fangirl dream, but the truth isn't quite that simple.A shadow looms over the present, and it's Toki's duty to prevent the darkness from taking hold...! But the existence of an umbral reflection of herself may beg to differ. If that beshadowed copy has anything to say about it, the Darkest Timeline may be inevitable...

Yanki Rose

Hailing from Hingashi, Yanki Rose got her start as a heel in NPHW. An Oni Yakuza hellbent on making her rival's lives difficult through the art of the fight. But failure led to an early, self-made retirement for the fearsome brawler. Instead, Yanki Rose accepted an offer to become a manager for CRW.Nobody could say that Yanki's debut in CRW wasn't a fruitful one. Strolling in with an iron fist, she helped Reska rise to new heights. Yanki and Reska picked up Scarlette Seraf and the three of them together formed the troublesome trio, Toxik.Yanki helped lead Toxik to pure gold as Reska and Scarlette fought tooth and nail throughout the season. An effort that eventually ended with Reska becoming the CRW's Hydaelyn Heavyweight Champion. Tension arises as Scarlette seeks out the next fight... and as Reska seeks the next challenger.Yanki has evolved over the course of the season. Reska was their champion now, and that meant surely Scarlette would be the next to hold championship gold! Maybe even Yanki Rose would shed her moniker of "Manager" and put up a more ferocious fight! After all, she'd started shaking off the rust as the season came to a close. What lies ahead now...?

Primus Charming

Really, really, really ridiculously good looking

Voted as the prettiest wrestler for the second year running [By himself, of course], Primus Charming is here to turn what has become an ugly promotion into something beautiful.Last season, Primus Charming went on a journey of discovery. Going from a dashing, beautiful and courageous man that got to commentate on a show with his mentor Gaja Gezjin (who did nothing wrong) to a hideous, disfigured, mask-wearing, ugly being that sought revenge on those who caused it. Kaguya was in the firing line, and they crossed many times.They had a match after to settle everything. She ripped the mask from his visage and revealed the deepest scar that he's ever known. (A tiny scratch. Yes, it was superficial. shut up.) This sent him into a violent rage. He went to leave, but saw an opportunity to inflict yet more damage to the so-called 'Brand Queen', and charged her before punting her in the head. He subsequently sprinted from the scene and was nowhere to be seen for the rest of the season.You can hit him in the face this time, but expect to be hit back thrice as hard. He's done being everyone's punching bag. And this season, he intends to prove it.

Nekra Polis

After being hired on at Corporate Ready Works, this intrepid lawyer wormed her way into the CRW office space as Miss Fortune's personal valet instead.Nekra has a penchant for pouring over the mountains of legalese and binding rulework for the sole purpose of better understanding how to push her fingers on the scale just enough to give her clientele the edge to win their matches.Last season, the results weren't to her liking. Miss Fortune still doesn't have the belt that Nekra knows she deserves so it's time to redouble her efforts. Lie, cheat, steal, and maybe sneak a few rule amendments of her own in the pursuit of championship gold. If she needs to get her own hands dirty to advance her goals, all the better.

Miss Fortune

Exactly where Miss Fortune came from is unknown. She will give multiple answers, both actual places such as a village located in Yanxia or a cave within the Azim Steppes. Even her true name is a mystery.The only fact that has shown is that she is a woman of chaos, brutality and torment. Don't let her easy going and taunting attitude fool you. Similar to nightshade, she is a beautiful creature to look at but deadly and toxic. And her purpose for being in the CRW? Well.. That's something people will have to find out on their own.But one thing is for certain, she'll bring down anyone before her to climb to the top by any means; Be it by breaking your heart or your bones.

Justin Jitters

and Courage the Carbuncle

"Justin J-Jitters reporting for duty to uphold the laws of the ring once aga-again. And Courage will ensure things go smoothly. Nothing can go wrong!" (Things will go so wrong).A Sharlayan citizen who has an eye for observation, the referee protégé of Blue Shoes managed to survive his first season with the CRW company and somehow agreed to return once again for another season. He is joined by his trusty companion, Courage the Carbucle.With a brand new rulebook to his hip, he is assisted by Courage to ensure matches are fair and abide by the rules. He's still skittish and easy to scare, but he has grown a bit of a spine since last season. Progress!

Picto Purrfect

"CRW's most loved photographer." Striving to get the 'Purrfect' Shot, Picto Purrfect, or 'Picto Perfect' has been featured in several of the world's premier magazines. From nature, models, and even cats. She has dedicated herself to finding the shot that would be seen around the world. Picto returns this season, graduating from her role as an intern.A teasing woman that likes to get a rise out of her subjects, Picto Purrfect tries to find that raw emotion in her shots. Today, she acts as a core member of CRW's Media Team with Minty and Cam. Picto covers announcements, advertising, photos, and more. During each show, she also offers an informative, very absolutely true series of 'Picto Facts' about the cast.

The Auspice

A lone, wild auspicious entity hailed from the outskirts of the Far East away from civilization. Like most animals that exceed normal lifespans, this auspice achieved an evolution, gaining self-awareness and a humanoid-like form. He eventually settled in with civilization in the Far East, breaking traditions and leaving his wandering life behind. He has found himself to be quite affiliated with the children of Othard, going as far as to train those who are interested in seeking self-improvement and bettering themselves. Because of this, 'The Auspice' slowly became a recognizable role model. In turn, he was given sanctuary by the people and taught their ways of life, becoming a part of society as a whole.After becoming a beacon of all things good for the children, the adults of his village encouraged him to join CRW to further expand his horizons and give morale to those in need. Refusing to decline such an offer, The Auspice would agree and set forth on his quest to take to the ring...

Hollow

Hollow is an egotistical wrestler from the IPL who loathes the CRW. He views their antics as pathetic, the wrestlers as weak, and their arrogance having left them vulnerable and easy to exploit. As such, he seeks to make a mockery of the CRW and its wrestlers by showing them what he views as true strength: pain. And if he needs to get through the whole league to do so, so be it.Much of Hollow’s history is a mystery. According to the IPL, he was an Ala Mhigan captured and tortured by the Legion. Even after extensive torture, the man never broke, refusing to tell them of his comrades’ operations. The legion commander offered him a choice: If he gave up the information, he could kill the men who tortured him. Their bodies were never fully found.Hollow was born from the event, his face never fully recovering from the mutilation and requiring the mask he wears now. After this, Hollow found the IPL, where he honed himself into a merciless fighter, not content with just beating his opponents, but humiliating them by reducing them to tears. A crowd favorite for the company, he had a gruesome reign as one of their champions before finally turning his sights to the CRW.

The Wisenam

After being mistaken for food from both wildlife AND people, The Wisenam slid his way into the cities of Kugane and beyond looking to make some serious Gil. Some may think that a business-like Namazu is a dream off of too much liquor, but his inspiration from those of his home land and Golden establishments lit a fire under The Wisenam. (Not the cooking kind.)Through this, he's caught a whiff of the CRW, and figured that'd be the next step in his entrepreneurial adventure. With a tomestone, gil, and a suit that he sto- bought with his own two fins, he gears up for an interesting ride!

Toby Determined

How is this guy involved in wrestling? He seemingly knows nothing about wrestling. He misses cues, pins, sometimes he doesn't even seem to know what's allowed or not. But boy does he seem to enjoy it, usually. Just don't mind the fact that he might forget when it's time to start a count, or make a call, and even when he does remember he might be a bit slow.Same Toby place! Same Toby channel! It's Toby! There's not much more to say.

Asteria

Hailing from the ruins of the Dravanian Hinterlands, Asteria is a bit of an oddity. Schooled through an offshoot of the Sharlayan PKP, she became something of a local favorite in Idyllshire fight nights. This is largely due to her easygoing attitude and 'sleepy' style that is hotly debated as to whether it's a ruse or if she really does just tire out that easily - to the point of seeming to fall asleep in the ring. She would assure you though that it's nothing so serious, claiming that it's meant to catch opponents (and maybe the audience) off-guard.At the urging of her beloved gobbie-mentor, Asteria found her way into the ranks of CRW. Her debut was a strong one, leading off with victory in a tag team match against Gayle Thorne and the now-retired Riot Raze. But it came with disastrous consequences, as the deal she had struck with a trickster fae led her to a sleeping curse that persisted throughout many shows.But Asteria persisted, doing her best to fight against the odds as well as seek out a way to break from that accursed slumber. Finally, she managed to end the contract and break the spell. Since then, the field is wide open for Asteria to truly shine like she hopes to!

Hypercharge

Once a Turali delinquent with an insatiable taste for adrenaline, Hypercharge found something up his alley in wrestling. High flying, quick and nimble, he made himself a name as a rookie in TUFF. However his tongue matched his movesets, a sharp silver tongue that got him into more trouble than what it was usually worth.He wanted to do something grander, something more exciting. So he went in search of something that could scratch that itch in other wrestling leagues. While gaining the knowledge of other leagues and wrestlers, that itch was still left unsatisfied. Until he found CRW. Some of the largest crowds he’s ever seen with the passion to match. Instead of going back into the ring, he picked up the mic. After all, what could be more thrilling than to announce a whole spectacle and lead the crowd onto a spine tingling adventure?

Kaguya Tsukiyo

The Brand Queen

Kaguya Tsukiyo, the only daughter of a powerful Bakfu politician, grew up surrounded by influence, formality, and expectations. When she witnessed the high-flying brilliance of the Raging Raijin, she felt something ignite inside her. Determined to stand in that spotlight herself, Kaguya poured her family’s wealth into becoming a fighter... and threatened —begged— Raijin to train her personally. She met his standards in the ring, but her ego and refusal to admit fault kept him from naming her his successor. So he sent her to CRW to “humble” her… and dump her into the hands of his other student.She was built to stand at the top by herself. Then she met Violet Valkyrie. They clashed in NHPW and never stopped—fighting, shilling, arguing, competing, dancing between rivalry and absurd chaos. Valkyrie’s simple, gremlin, sunshine-powered, PRIMO-fueled clownery should have driven her mad. And it absolutely did. But it also… grew on her. Out of all the classless, hopeless plebeians in CRW… Valkyrie is the one she respects the most.Now, standing alongside Valkyrie and the “dumb rabbit” Kuro Usagi in their unhinged little stable, Kaguya Tsukiyo is ready for Season 3 with a new purpose. She's ready to show every single person—including that Orange Deadbeat—that she deserves the top spot. She deserves the crown. You know you love her... XoXo.

Beast of War

The Muscle of Justice

Forged in the Estersands of Dalmasca, and tested in the battlefields of Bozja, The Beast of War returns to the Ring once more! A man of great gusto and chivalrous moxie, he managed to find his audience but found himself wondering if he could go for more. Having joined the CRW to settle an old score with the infamous World Eater, the Beast of War has been training tirelessly for decades to bring justice for his fallen tag team partner, Dusty Squire. However, rivalries may need to be put aside as a new threat to the league arrives in the form of the IPL Invasion!Now the Beast of War has set his eyes to defend the League and its Titles from threats yet unknown. He's been training hard since Gaja's betrayal, but he's also aiming for the belt! Will he come out the Hero on top or be crushed in villainy's wake?

Gayle Thorne

'Gyr Albania's former Darling Diamond'. 'That Heavy for the Outcasts'. 'The Copycat Apex Predator.' 'The Griffin'. 'The Torama Champion.' Gayle Thorne is as sharp-edged and as neurotic as they come. She is quick to pick a fight and even quicker to lose her temper.Early on, Gayle turned to the Haus's side... which, in turn, pulled her into a fight for CRW's very soul. That's when Andseka the Direwolf attacked, bestowing a curse that nearly drove the sleepless Ala Mhigan mad. Lost and at her lowest, Gayle joined the Outcasts. With the support of CRW's rejects, Gayle proved all the doubters wrong, defeating Andseka and claiming the Torama belt.And yet. The fans can see it. The flinches, the wavers, the sour looks when her fellow Outcasts commit terrible acts in the ring. She's sided with two Garleans, and her actions subvert the League that welcomed her in. Even Gayle, stubborn as she can be, understands how this all looks... Alas, the current Torama Champion has her own brand of pride. She is an Outcast through and through. Deal with it. Gayle Thorne's made her bed, she'll lay in it. Even if it means the whole world, even her homeland, shuns her.

Kuro Usagi

The Black Rabbit of Doma

The Black Rabbit of Doma is known for his hot-headed penchant for heroics and a never give up attitude, embodying a resilient and unwavering spirit in the heat of battle. Kuro got his start at Neo Hingashi Pro Wrestling. Before that... his fighting career largely remains shrouded in mystery, other than whispers of underground cage fighting.At first, Kuro Usagi took CRW's tag team division by storm with Gaja Gezgin. When they missed the mark for the Torama belt, Kuro took a sabbatical and re-entered NHPW to refine his skills. Kuro would later return to CRW, resuming his journey to become King of Fighters. He reignited a rivalry with Kaguya, found romance with her best friend Violet Valkyrie, and was crushed by the betrayal of Gaja who would lead the IPL in a declared takeover.Today, mixed feelings plague him. Having grown up under Imperial rule, it pains him to see Gaja, someone he once considered his brother, align with his former oppressors. With growing tension behind the scenes with Kaguya amidst his developing relationship with Violet Valkyrie, Kuro Usagi has a lot on his plate balancing newfound love and focusing on toppling Gaja and the IPL in an ongoing tumultuous journey to the top.

Gaja Gezgin

The Wind Tamer

Ala Mhigan Born, his lineage kept hidden by his life in the mask. Who he was before those days are guarded closely and revealed to very few. He's had a working history with the Imperium Pugnare Legio. Trained in Wind Aspected Wrestling, Gaja Gezgin is a master of the skies and rides the currents wherever Wrestling follows! He's fast, he's flying, he will charm his way into your heart or bring the wrath of a hurricane upon your head!The way of the Mask is the way of Freedom, beholden to no history but the name he makes himself in the Ring. Mentored by the Marvelous Marid, he is but one of her pupils and may inherit her name. He travels now for a purpose he himself only knows its true end.Now he returns at the behest of the IPL's aid, to give them a foothold in seeing their wrestlers find a path that allows them to continue to provide for their families, be it by word of diplomacy or rite of violence.

Scarlette Seraf

A cold, callous prizefighter, the crimson-clad Scarlette Seraf made herself known at first in the world of underground fight clubs, racking up wins to the sound of her opponents' anguished screams. Over time, the purses she'd claim each night began to feel lighter and lighter, while her knack for excessive violence grew. Scarlette sold her "services" out to the highest bidders, bringing down her own brand of punishment to anyone caught in her crosshairs- a punishment the muscle-for-hire can only call "The Scarlette Price".Now in CRW, Scarlette has found herself comfortably seated as the designated brawn of Toxik, a stable of wrestlers populated by the NHPW legend Yanki Rose, and the current reigning Hydaelyn Heavyweight Champion, Reska. Their partnership admittedly being pushed to the limit at points, the grandeur of holding a major belt has seemingly bound them together, a flourishing business deal for all parties.So, has the mercenary found rest on her laurels of shared success... or is it just that the right opportunity hasn't presented itself yet? "Everyone pays the Scarlette Price... One way or another..."

Paradigm

previously... Dema Gogue / Gearshift

Paradigm. Formally known as Dema Gogue. Pseudo known as Gearshift. First known as... Paradigm. She began her wrestling career in the same minor leagues as The Orange Coeurl. After her first big win, she was attacked backstage. The injury left her barely able to walk, let alone wrestle. Jaded and angry, she retired. Donning the name of Dema Gogue, she became the primary investor to Coeurl's new league and married the loathsome WorldEater.'Dema Gogue' attempted to take control of the CRW, revealing that she had hidden within CRW's ranks as Gearshift. She revealed herself in a high stakes match, ending with her and Coeurl in the ring. Paradigm was given the ultimatum, exit forever. Or live out her penance as a wrestler in the promotion she desperately tried to take hold of.For a brief moment, she had glory, but at a cost... Paradigm took down WorldEater, her darling monster, at Violent Valentiones. After that victory, she held the title of Hydaelyn Heavyweight Champion... But the WorldEater disappeared. Eventually, the title was stolen from her by Reska, getting hit with a sudden cheap shot after a match.Now Paradigm is a shell of her former self. No league, no belt, no monster. She stalks CRW... desperately clawing for answers.

Azure Nightmare

Forged and tempered in the icy winds of Ishgard, the Azure Nightmare is a spectre who brings fear to the unjust. A beacon of justice and honour, he steps into the ring to push back against Heels and show the crowd—young and old—that good still exists in many forms. He fears nothing that comes his way; only the weight of his duty, which some say may lead him down darker roads than he ever intended.

Kate Cassidy

Originally hailing from Limsa Lominsa, Kate and her father traveled to Shaaloni when she was quite young, being part of the work effort to modernize Shaaloni now that Cereulum was found. Kate became enamored with the "outlaw" spirit, as it reminded her of the pirates she heard about in stories from her father.She also found out about wrestling through matches she watched whenever they came to her town, and when she was old enough. She decided to go across the salt to wrestle in various small promotions, wrestling in front of the small crowds before ending up in Hingashi fighting for NHPW, where she found her groove as a wrestler.Now she has come to the CRW as a new blood, and ready to make a name for herself. Bringing people to justice who truly deserve it.

Gregg Smith

Gregg was tired. His 9 to 5 cubicle job was getting to him and he finally decided to use that well earned vacation time to get away for a while, maybe even sip a drink on the beach or go to one of those massages his co-worker Steve keeps talking about. Anyroads, he looks around and finds a flyer looking for people for a 'resting' company. Not really sure what that means but looooving the idea of resting, Greg takes the flyer and goes and gets ready.Suiting up in his best vacation gear, dripped out in his Hawaiian shirt and shorts, he arrives at this company only to find a bunch of people in fancy leotards, beating each other up. Confused, he looks back at the flyer and shrugs.Maybe it's like a game show? Maybe like Survivor! That could be interesting.... he signs up, almost certain that the goal is to win his eventual vacation and you know what? He's gonna wing it until he figures out what the heck is goin' on or get flattened in the process!

Minty Memoir

Minty is the writer. The pen. The book itself. The promise that retells the memory of CRW in a near-mint, perfectly preserved condition. She is the poet, and CRW is her muse. Minty has a meticulous eye for the details, but her writing isn't just about the facts. Instead, she focuses on the intimate narrative of the wrestling company and its cast.Previously Miss Mint E. Memoria, an honors scholar of the Studium. Minty grew bored of her promising academic career until she discovered Sharlayan's amateur league, PKP. But that League wasn't enough. She wanted more. Spotlights. Spectacle. Minty found Cross Realm Wrestling, and the rest was history.As a member of CRW's Media Team, you will find Minty attending shows, conducting interviews, and endlessly reviewing previous matches. Despite her cheerful and adaptable attitude, Minty isn't afraid to ask tough questions. She will challenge the 'protagonists' of this tale. After all, Minty takes great pride in her work. Every word must be perfect. The audience will witness the show every night, but her manuscripts will dictate what 'story' is told for years to come...

Fedand worked under various aliases for several years doing what can only be described as work that needed 'swords, gil, and magistrates' to handle properly. What should have been just any other evening was an experience for the weary 'adventurer'. It was a cage match with Gaja vs. The Orange Coerul that got his undivided attention. He quickly studied the craft as best as he could for a single excitable lad with little time and a thin budget.However, with luck, a bit of courage, and an eye for detail that was picked up while trench fighting... He landed a gig announcing and calling the matches in CRW! Who knows, this could lead to bigger things but for now, the big Roe is just happy to be working in a field that doesn't involve pulling a 'mori' on some fools... Yeah, calling good, clean, down the middle wrestling matches... It should be a fun time.He seems determined to keep up a chipper demeanor, even as he seems upset or annoyed. An ever present item on his person is an old trench knife that he toys with like someone would toy with a quill in their fingers...

Dr. Felicity

And Nurse Bliss

As far as most people are concerned, she sprung into existence as a student of the inaugural class of Sharlayan's newest medical school- one hoping to better integrate porxies into Eorzean healing practices. Like many students, Dr. Felicity enjoyed attending matches put on by Sharlayan's PKP group. Volunteering to take care of the inevitable injuries was a great opportunity for her and Nurse Bliss to practice the things they were learning in class.After an invite from the Orange Coeurl, Dr. Felicity and Nurse Bliss found themselves joining CRW. She had barely gotten started when she received her first patient, Rey Del Mar, after his brutal encounter with Hollow. Not long after that, she took care of Mascarita Papas after his unfortunate encounter with Scarlette. Then Kaguya as well.Dr. Felicity and Nurse Bliss take their oaths as healers very seriously. They would never deny anybody care, no matter how they felt about that person. But she found Primus Charming's behavior during his match with Kaguya horrifying. She decided to punish him in the one way she could: denying him her handmade scar cream. Scars are only cosmetic, after all. But Dr. Felicity doesn't hold a grudge. She is willing to forgive and forget with a proper apology.

Hot Patootie

She is the Patron Saint of Bad Boys, Rebel Gals, and all the dangerous Rock And Roll pals. She is sung in hymnals by those who shoot up junk, are low down cheap little punks, and those who take everyone for a ride. When one channels the divine call to ask Hot Patootie to bless their soul, it is because they really love that rock and roll.Will she ever actually be able to wrestle? No, but that doesn't matter, because she has syringes full of rock and roll to get people up off their butts and back into the game...... If she cares to actually use them. Usually she doesn't unless you can prove you rock hard enough to earn her blessing/healing.

Warbling Wrangler

Trading the field for a commentator desk, this intrepid ecologist found her way into CRW and is intent on unraveling the mysteries of the wrestlers therein. Perhaps a bit confused and thinking she is dealing with wild animals vs spoken, given the temperament of many of the wrestlers this is an easy mistake to make or so she claims.Passionate and prone to shooting from 0 to 60 on the volume/energy scale. Whatever experience she seems to lack she is making up for in raw investment in the promotion. Notable for pulling puns periodically, and perhaps a small bit of alliteration. Time will tell if this newcomer finds footing for the future.

Cameron Corder

Cameron Corder was a fan like any other, attending CRW events and cheering for just about everyone in equal measure. All that changed when they brought a camera to an event and the CRW staff recognized the quality of their recordings.Following the mysterious disappearance of the previous camera person, Cameron has been brought on to capture every event CRW throws this season regardless of how it plays out. After all, they're not here to make an impact or change an outcome, they're just going to watch it all happen. It will be a tough job since they're still getting used to CRW's Media Team and all the fancy equipment they were given. Turns out there's a lot more to making good videos than pointing a camcorder and pressing record.They are a little insecure in their new position and are rather susceptible to flattery, intimidation, and cajoling as a result. It will not be difficult to get them to do a special shoot for you or bring their camera into the ring for a promo, but do keep in mind that they're also the one editing the footage and might get revenge in the editing booth if you push them too far.

Sugar Rush

The Patisserie Princess

The CRW's Pâtisserie Princess was catering for the CRW's shows backstage at The Terrarium when she was 'discovered'. How was she discovered? Simple. Management saw an opportunity in her near-constant sweets themed puns, her bubbly personality, and her willingness to encourage people to try new things!Hailing from Sharlayan, Sugar Rush is a professional culinarian and chef pâtissier first, and an announcer second! When she's at a show, you can always expect there to be freshly made treats waiting for fans and crew alike. Cookies, cakes, brownies, tarts, and even hors d'oeuvres are only a few things in her cookbook! Where she lacks the concept of cooking in moderation, others benefit, as there's a never ending supply of snacks to partake in.She is a constant smiling force in the CRW's announcing line-up. While she may be a little naive to the concept of wrestling moves themselves, she'll always find a way to make sure you enjoy the show. If just looking at her doesn't give you a sweet tooth or make you feel a bit 'gluttonous'... her puns and sparkling personality will do just the trick. This season, Sugar Rush is releasing a cookbook! Stay tuned for more info, and please look forward to it! ♥

King Crimson

King Crimson was born and raised in Imperial controlled lands. He was not of Garlean blood or heritage, but he was willing to take everything they were willing to teach for survival. Being picked up by a wrestling stable in his teens when sight of talent was found in him, he was raised on a ruthless grappler style. The rookie found more wins by tap outs and knock-outs than pins. He was quickly nick-named the bloody king of the ring... And it went right to his ego.Today, King Crimson is a near-unstoppable force of nature in any ring. Even those in his own weight class have trouble with him, not because of his speed but because of his endurance and willingness to do harm to his opponent. Management has since reigned him in to get him a chance at the CRW ring.But King Crimson wants to show them that he is number one, the true king of all rings. CRW is ready to be shaped and polished into King Crimson's crown gem of achievements! Their rightful king is here. And. They. Will. Bow.

Tigresa

Reviled by the Turali crowd, Tigresa made her name in TUFF as an Xbr’aal ruda with a record of rule-skirting and ruthless opportunism. She provoked countless feuds, each time daring contenders to gamble their honour for a shot at victory. Her career ended abruptly with a Mask vs. Career wager, a bitter loss that forced her into exile from her home turf.However… nothing forbade her return to the ring as referee. Exploiting yet another loophole, Tigresa joins CRW to flaunt her experience and, more enthusiastically, indulge her vices. The disgraced ruda rewards clever distractions and technicalities, insistent that the only virtue is fighting to win. So-called “honourable” wrestlers earn nothing but mockery and disdain. On the mat, Tigresa is a force to reckon with, meting out judgements through open arguments, threats, and brute force.Tigresa’s bias is no secret. She openly favours cunning heels who know how to bend the rules. And boy, does she hate every single goody-two-shoes high-flier that sullies her ring. Her pride keeps her sharp, and she will wrest control of the match the moment she is challenged. Any attempt to strike or out-cheat the official herself ends all pretense of fairness, unleashing a vengeful and openly corrupt arbiter.

Crimson C'en Sation

The Crimson Cen S'ation had a natural talent for scouting and developing truly vicious fighters amongst the 'savages' conquered by the Empire, which quickly gained her a reputation in the minor wrestling leagues for pushing ruthless titleholders. This fame would eventually elevate her not only to a proper citizen, but a premier manager at the IPL. It would be here that she pushed one of the most ruthless champions the league had ever seen - Hollow.Following one of Hollow's more brutal defeats and subsequent disappearance, she would lose the spark she once had, and found the remaining talent to be wanting. However, after the fall of the Empire, word would soon enough reach her of a masked fighter bearing the name of her former champion - She set off for Uldah and the CRW to show the philistine wrestling fans of Eorzea what true entertainment really is.Crimson sees the wrestling ring as a canvas to be painted in blood and brutality, and revels in the pain her chosen prospects inflict on others. She knows that deep down the simple masses crave the kind of violent spectacle that only she is inspired enough to provide.

Freyja

Coming in from Hinagashi, Freyja was initially a hermit witch, until one trip to Kugane for supplies and a few whimsical choices led her to a wrestling match put on the NHPW circuit. Enthralled with this display of athleticism and entertainment, she signed up for the NHPW circuit for the next season, competing for a belt, as well as attempting to gain more martial knowledge to further her quest for the perfect fighting form.While she was unsuccessful in earning that belt, she decided to sail over from the far east to observe the CRW matches as a referee, a job which she takes very seriously. Enforcing the ring's rules with brutal reminders, Freyja will target both Faces and Heels, but after her time in the ring, she has a tendency to favor Faces.

Ifritia

Ifritia is the Primal of wrestling, born from the visceral emotions and spirit of the crowd. Which, apparently the fans have a dark side to them sometimes, something that she would point out occasionally. She has come for the spectacle, to be the spectacle, to burn as the raging inferno at the heart of the events.As a primal she feeds off of an excited crowd and will do anything to drive them to a frenzy.

Breaker

Once a noble warrior, Jax was snatched from the battlefield by Garlean forces and thrust into the brutal world of the IPL as fodder for their training camp. What they didn't know was this man held a deep rage and a tenuous grasp on his sanity. As he was thrown to the wolves, he only grew stronger, splintering their up and comers.In a bid to keep a handle on fresh talent, they turned their attention to other promotions, more than happy to let loose their new beast and move out of the way. Victory was rewarded with the next match, while losing meant a fresh hell. And by the Twelve, the Breaker does hate to lose.
