What is CHIMPANZEE, really? 3. Style of the fed 4. Important characters 5. Championships 6. Shows 7. Application 1. What is CHIMPANZEE? ---------------------- The year is 6565. War has raged for the last millenium between the people of Mercury and Neptune, themselves descendents from colonists from the former planet Earth. CHIMPANZEE is set in a prisoner of war camp on Mercury run by the corrupt Monaco Jake; with Neptune winning the war and their warships coming ever closer to Mercurian space, Monaco has turned his prisoners on each other in one last desperate attempt to generate the credits needed to bribe his way out of an inevitable execution. Prisoners are forced to face each other in combat, and the fights are broadcast via pirate signals throughout the solar system. There are no rules, though Monaco reserves the right to make special stipulations or forcibly dissolve makeshift teams. As with any competitive fighting league, there are a number of championships that the fighters battle over. Though Monaco has given them different names and ranks, each title carries with it not only immunity from the Mercurian execution squads but also the rights to $500 billion in credits should they possess a title when they are freed. 2. What is CHIMPANZEE, really? ----------------------------- CHIMPANZEE is a bottom of the barrel American lucha libre fed run out of Southeastern Michigan and Northwestern Ohio. The promoter developed an elaborate albeit pitiful backstory to set his company apart from the rest of the business. The fantastical backstory for the promotion has created a fairly family friendly atmosphere, as the wrestlers simultaneously entertain the older wrestling fans with their fast-paced style of competition and capture the imagination of the younger fans with their goofy characters and outrageous gimmicks (though everything is tongue-in-cheek). The promoter, who only goes by the name of Jack Monaco, insists that the majority of his talent wear masks or otherwise have some kind of outrageous gimmick. In real terms, think of this fed as something similar to Chikara and Dragon Gate in terms of style, only a lot more ridiculous. 3. Style of the fed ------------------- As mentioned in the above point, matches in CHIMPANZEE are typically sprints -- free of psychology and other kinds of traditional wrestling storytelling tools. While having a cultish following on Youtube and in the Toledo area, CHIMPANZEE cannot afford to bring in any mainstream stars; any names who do work this promotion are either washed up and broken down, mentally unstable, or both. In storyline terms, any "name" who works in CHIMPANZEE is said to have time-traveled into this horrific future and had the misfortune of finding themselves in this promotion. There's no real specialization in this fed, and so it's pretty safe to say that all wrestlers have identical movesets depending on their weight, strength, and propensity for risk-taking. 4. Important characters ----------------------- JACK MONACO, WARDEN & PROMOTER. Jack Monaco is a former corporal in the Mercurian Army who suffered a serious injury that forced him off the front line -- Monaco was an infantryman in the service -- but 200 years of outstanding service earned him a glorified desk job running Action Neptune Zone EE. As the outlook of the war began to look exceedingly bad for Mercury, Monaco began to think of his own service record and the likelihood that the Neptunian government would order his execution -- Monaco's brother was executed by them on Jupiter, and he is not yet prepared to join his brother in the great beyond. Monaco never appears on the air; some doubt he even exists. CAMERON DAVIES: The play-by-play announcer, it turns out that the former GLCW announcer was a cyborg sent back from the future to assassinate Nyx Dunne; failing in that mission, he has returned to Mercury to serve as the play-by-play announcer for CHIMPANZEE. HUNG JERRY: Popular prison streaming radio DJ, Hung Jerry scored a spot on the announce team in exchange for sending promising ringrats Monaco's way. Loves to hear the sound of his voice, but completely incompetent and incapable of framing events in any meaningful way. In other words, he's your typical conceited self-important prick. Kind of appeals to the popular sentiment, but really just an idiot. SUPERDEATH PIRANHA MASK: Color commentator, got his job by ratting out a twenty-man escape plan that resulted in the largest mass execution in Action Zone EE history. Superdeath Piranha Mask was a competitor up until he sold his soul to Monaco Jack, and has every intention on joining his boss on the last ship out of town when the war ends. Until then, he's happy to bury any sorry son of a gun who tries to take an honorable approach to CHIMPANZEE. THE ROBFATHAH & KRAKEN: Facing a security crisis, Monaco Jack used his time traveling technology to go back to the early 21st century to kidnap "The Robfathah" Rob Christie and Kraken, making them his own personal bodyguards and personal assistants. The Robfathah is basically Monaco's yes-man, and guides Kraken in destroying anyone deemed unworthy of CHIMPANZEE. Any executive orders regarding the direction of a given match of CHIMPANZEE in general are announced by Monanco Jack via The Robfathah. GREG CURTIS: The only referee CHIMPANZEE has, Curtis is very unpopular for reasons unknown to you, the viewer. 5. Championships* ---------------- WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE - An ironic name, since the world is going to end in a few years. This title wouldn't be very desirable under ordinary circumstances because of the amount of prejudice against Mercury, but the free pass to a better life. Typically restricted to wrestlers weighing 230 pounds and above, but Monaco will give titleshots to competitors he thinks will increase the buyrate and sell a lot of merch. NEPTUNIAN HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE - The emotional favorite among virtually the entire roster, this gives them their chance to honor their homeland while simultaneously getting insurance that they'll survive outside of Neptune Action Zone EE. WORLD MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE - The Middleweight Title is the same as the Heavyweight Title, but restricted to wrestlers weighing between 205-229 pounds. WORLD CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE - Same as the Heavyweight and Middleweight Titles, but restricted to wrestlers weighing less than 205 pounds. YOUTUBE HEAVYWEIGHT TROPHY - If you think Youtube is big now, just wait until the future. If you can. The Youtube trophy is defending in matches stipulated by subscribers to CHIMPANZEE's youtube page. ACTION ZONE: VIDEO ON DEMAND! SPONSORED BY PEPSI, TACO BELL & CHEVROLET CHAMPIONSHIP - Sponsorship is important, and so are Pepsi, Taco Bell, and Chevrolet. WORLD MINIWEIGHT TITLE - Small people are used in numerous special operations missions in the future, and have earned their place in CHIMPANZEE. To win the Miniweight title, competitors have to be less than 4'11" tall. Competitors weighing less than 140lbs will be considered on a case by case basis. *In addition to the bonuses and freedom holding a championship guarantees upon the inevitable collapse of CHIMPANZEE, champions are also allowed to challenge other champions regardless of weight or height. While it is impossible to obtain multiple pardons from the execution squads, holding multiple championships does guarantee increased money on release- making it possible to come out of CHIMPANZEE with 6.5 trillion credits! 6. Broadcasts ------------- Destroy All Wrestlers!: CHIMPANZEE only has one show; there are no supercards or pay-per-views. The name of the show is Destroy All Wrestlers!, a name Cameron Davies brought with him from the past. 7. Application -------------- Name: Height: Weight: Maximum bench press: Propensity for risk taking (1-10, where 1 is not at all and 10 is no regards for his own health): Rank in the Neptune military (if not applicable, why are they in Neptune Action Zone EE): Entrance music (nothing serious, please): Entrance (cut and paste version): Backstory (within the context of the fed): Backstory (who is he really?): Strengths & weaknesses (these can be traditional or within the context of the fed; of course, any kind of supernatural or otherwise impossible strengths and weaknesses will be worked into the context of real (bad) indy wrestling. I reserve the right to ignore any bad ideas.): Merchandizing (money makes the world go 'round; how capable is your character of selling tickets and pushing merch? What kind of products has he made to promote himself? Is he selling autographed polaroids after the show, or does he just take off?) Signature moves: Finishing move: |
