So i have working on this the last couple days. Now normally I know this would get posted in the character development section, but I also that many a handler do read and/or respond to things posted on the character development forum and as title says I need your help. I have posted a very short roleplay from Simon Lyman. What I want to know is based on this (and yes I know it will have to be longer) do I still have what it takes to be competitive in SCW? Be honest too please, because I do not want to start if I just do not have what it takes anymore.

Thank you for your time and your feedback, and now without further adieu, the roleplay.....



Storms of Life

Some days are better than others.

You know what I mean, some days you get up in the morning and everything seems great while other days you dont even want to get out of bed and face the day ahead.

For Simon Lyman on May 17, 2016 everything seemed to be going great. He was relaxing around his house, just doing some work on his laptop when he started to feel a tingling sensation in his right shoulder. Assuming he just slept wrong and it would be fine in a few minutes, Lyman went back to work on his laptop. Soon though, the tingling sensation went all the way down his right side and what started every 45 minutes became every 10 minutes before Lyman decided to call his doctors office to get an appointment. Only he didn't get an appointment, in fact he didn't get to see his doctor at all, instead he headed right to the hospital

Simon Lyman was suffering a stroke.

Its Christmas time and everything is in full bloom for the holiday season. Chestnuts roasting on a open fire, a pile of presents around the brightly decorated Christmas tree, and the smell hot cocoa slowly being smelt throughout the house. This house is different though, because it is the house of Simon Lyman and Cailey Carter. This Christmas is different too. Since Simon had a stroke in May he has many, many good days as opposed to bad. But every now and then he still remembers what life was like without that wheelchair, or how it is to think of something or someone and be able form his thoughts completely without searching for words now and then.

When these things happen, Simon starts cry to himself, and yes it does happen more often than before, something else that happens because of the stroke.

And that is when Cailey is there like she is now.....



Cailey: Your at the window again...

Cailey Carter slowly encircles Simon Lyman neck from behind, while he just sits there in his wheelchair saying nothing

Cailey: Come on, let it out babe, talk to me. What's wrong?

Simon: Why?

Cailey: Why what?

Simon: Why do you even bother with m....

Cailey puts a finger to Simon's lips and softly though sternly chides...

Cailey: I love you, and this is all I need to bother with you, end of discussion ok?

Simon doesn't back down

Simon I just don't understand. You are 28 and gorgeous and not to mention bright and talented. You could be with any man you would and instead you waste your life with a cri....

And Cailey has had enough.

Cailey: A cripple? Is that what you were going to do, call yourself a cripple? Because let me tell you something Simon, there are a lot of things you can call yourself, but the one thing I will not tolerate sir is you calling yourself a cripple.

Simon is about to speak again but Cailey will have none of it

Cailey: No let me finish. Yes the stroke has made things a lot harder on you but it is only temporary. Babe you make incredible strides every week in your recovery, which in the beginning nobody knew if that was suppose to be beyond a vegetable. I know are going thru a lot, but we will get thru this together.

Simon starts to tear up...

Simon: You think I have made incredible strides in my recovery?

Cailey: Babe, the six days after the stroke I did not even know whether you were going to live or die. Now here we are only seven months later and you can walk with very little assistance. Yes, I think all things considered you are truly remarkable.
i
Simon: Its just so hard to make you understand what this is like for me...

Simon cries softly, but Cailey won't let him go

Simon: My whole life....I have been the one....who people have depended....on when they needed something....now...

Simon cries a little harder

Simon: Now....

Cailey: Now instead being the one people can depend on, you have to depend on other people right?

Simon: I just do not want to burden to anyone Cailey...

Cailey: Oh hon...

Simon: What?

Cailey: Simon you going to come all of the way back. You are going to wrestle in that ring again and when do?

Simon: I'll be an inspiration?

Cailey: No, your already an inspiration every single day. When come all of the way back, you will be the greatest champion the ring has ever seen without ever wrestling a match.

Simon: I love you so much

Cailey: I love you more than words.

Cailey and Simon hug each other tightly, both of them in tears as the scene fades


Find Your Way Back


Voice: 269 over 150....

The voice is one we have not for a very long time, but it is unmistakably only one man. As he is into view even being seated inside of a wheelchair while wearing an Ohio State sweatsuit that man is definitely Simon Lyman...

Simon: Its been a long time since I have had the chance to talk to all of you and the first I want to say is....

Thank you..

Simon looks like he is about to cry but he composes himself

Simon: Thank you to the greatest fans in all the world who never gave up on me. On May 17th of this as all of you now know I suffered a stroke. 269 over 150 was my blood pressure at the time I was brought into the hospital with the stroke hence 269 over 150 a numbers I will never forget again for as long as I live.

There is a huge sigh again then Simon continues

Simon: Lets talk about that right now well we are at it. No matter what you have heard from any place I am going to live, and I am going to do it for a very long time. The stroke was incredibly hard for me to take, but it has also strengthened my focus and resolve. My motivation is at a all time high as well because I know what the majority of everybody expects for me and that is ok because I am going to prove them all wrong. I have been proving people for this last seven months now because I am willing to bet the were a lot of people who did not think I was going survive just to start with. I can't blame them for that either because they were just listening to the doctors. The funny thing about doctors though is can't measure heart and the will to live....

Simon look he is about to start crying again but flat refuses to...

Simon: I told myself I would get all of the way through this and so that is exactly what I am going to do. The point is though that seven months ago I started proving the majority of everyone wrong and I don't plan on letting up any time soon. First I beat the odds and I lived, given my stroke was a hemorrhagic stroke of which 10 to 15 percent do. Then June 19th, exactly one month since the stroke with the assistance of two men and sat up on the side of the bed for thirty seconds before being helped back to bed.

Then of course there is this....

Slowly Simon gingerly with the help of his cane stands up on camera for the first time in 7 months...

Simon: There are a lot of first yet to come, but I promise all of you this...

Simon wipes away a tear....

Simon ….You are going to want to be watching SCW in 2017 because one way or another I will be back...all the way in ring as a professional wrestler!

So I guess there is only thing left to say....

Welcome to the show!

Simon looks into the camera and winks...

It is going to...


BE SENSATIONAL!!


Simon is still smiling into the camera as we fade

He's still the overbearingly caring and passionate Simon I remember. By all means, continue writing. SCW may be a competitive powerhouse in regards to efeds but it was still just as enjoyable and heart warming as always. I used to say David Helms for me was the best face, within the last year Simon changed my mind in that regard. I can definitely still say the writing is just as effective. I know it will take time to get more into it all and really get it going but I see nothing wrong with this. It flows, has deep characterizations and the dialogue doesn't feel forced nor am I questioning it.
