Character

Nickname(s): "Your Hero and Mine"
Gimmick: Storm proclaims himself as 'Your Hero and Mine', but he doesn't act in the way a conventional hero does. He's vicious at times, cold and calculating, showing a mean streak of a veteran with his punishing strikes and tactical approach to matches, doing whatever necessary to gain the advantage. For the most part he keeps himself to himself, a lone ranger of sorts, who fancies himself as one of the pillars of the industry.

Strengths:
1. Intelligent (been around long enough to have seen things that many haven't, has incredible ring intelligence in terms of awareness, as well as studying his opponents prior to facing them, knows how to control the tempo of the match and does so effortlessly against those less experienced)
2. Unorthodox Style (a mesh of styles combined to create his own, hard for opponents to study as his wide variety of skill-sets have brought an element of surprise to his opponents)
3. Attitude (the type of fighter that isn't going to be beaten easily, with a never give up attitude that forces his opponents to raise their level in order to put him down)
4. Tolerance / Endurance

Weaknesses:
1. Risk Taker (the risk and reward game, but when the risk is too high - this can prove to be costly, as Storm does love to entertain the fans as well as attaining victories, with the entertainment factor sometimes getting the best of him and costing him heavily)
2. Easily Distracted
