Gimmick: A veteran performer coming out of retirement. He wants to put his past behind him, which is why he now dons a mask. He is obviously more inspired by puroresu than he is lucha libre despite this, and comes across as a firm, no-nonsense competitor in the ring. Outside, he seems more aloof and damaged. He is bitter at a world which has passed him by, and an industry that he lost love for at the wrong time. Still, a man is nothing if he doesn't stand for something, then he is nothing. Beneath the frustration is a man who just wishes to hone his craft, bring respect to the art of professional wrestling, and be the best once again, like he used to be so long ago.
The Apparition has kind of run out of options in his life. He tried to go back to being a salaryman, but it just never worked for him. Whether it was PTSD or just a yearning to go back in the spotlight, The Appaition needed to put back on his tights, yet also figure out a way to evolve himself into something else.
Tendency to Cheat: Not above a closed fist or a choke in the corner, but it's never his M.O. If there is grass on the field, he will play, but only as retaliation.
Big fan of the YAMATO move. Dunno why it took so long to notice.
