Lord Noon

Lord Noon is a homicidal psychopath of unverified origins, who has been known to enter the professional wrestling circuit for mystifying reasons.

History
(Note: The following information is not known to any actual characters within e-wrestling as a whole. It is presented here solely to provide a full recording of Noon's genesis and career.)

Lord Noon, under his as-yet-unrevealed real name, was born somewhere in England, possibly Somerset, over two hundred years ago. His family held a high position in the social pecking order of the time, and he inherited ownership of a considerable mass of land, holding many farms and cotton mills, making him exceedingly rich. This in turn made him the object of affection for many women from other upper-class families looking to marry into money - this is prior to all that Suffrage nonsense, you understand. At any rate, the man who would become Noon wound up settling down with a small, pretty and often spunky lady named Cynthia, and they celebrated the birth of their first two children - twin girls, Rose and Muriel - in early September, 1809.

And then in the long summer of 1817, the man strangled his children and shot his wife with an imported Colt S.A.A.

Questions began circulating in the village when Cynthia missed her social appointments for several days in a row. Eventually, the local constabulary finally decided to do their job and investigate, arriving on the front doorstep of the once-happy couple's estate to ask a few innocuous queries. What they found instead was the man shrieking with rage, his face lined with dried tears, holding the bodies of his family close to him. Further investigation was deemed unnecessary after the officers listened to enough of his weeping, stuttering admissions of guilt.

Stripped of his clothes and all earthly posessions, the man was left to wait in a cold, dark cell overnight whilst a jury of his peers debated their course of action, pausing only to remind the man that he'd meet his fate the following day at 12 o'clock. This fact engraved itself into his mind to the point where he could no longer keep the anguish inside, and so externalised it by scratching the sign of 'XII' across his body in as many places as he could reach with his fingernails. By the time he was brought to court, he had no voice left to protest the judgement given to him: death by hanging.

At exactly 12 o'clock, midday, the man suffered his short drop and sudden stop in the centre of town. But this was not his journey's end.

Due to a failed manipulation of Eternity on a level unfathomable to the backwards minds that occupied the planet back then, the man did not die. Even as he hung there, paralyzed with a broken neck, breath still continued to fill his lungs, and his heart kept pounding at a steady rate. The townsfolk thought this the work of the Devil, and so constructed high walls around the elevated noose and the man trapped in its embrace, then left both to rot.

The years passed and the world moved on, through two cataclysmic wars and countless sociopolitical upheavals - but the broken man remained, his alert mind idling over what little stimuli was available to him as the walls were buried beneath homes, warehouses, bomb shelters, whatever the current trends demanded be built. And after going over the deaths of his family again and again and again, the man came to a realisation; he'd actually, if he was honest, quite enjoyed killing them. He'd smiled as the little ones' underdeveloped lungs had strained for oxygen, and his heart had lifted as Cynthia's godawful screeching was cut off by the dry bark from the revolver's muzzle. It is at this point that Lord Noon was officially born.

His arrival in the modern world came at the beginning of September, 2008. Jolted from his daydreaming - he never sleeps - by the sounds of heavy machinery, Noon thought at first that merely another construction effort was occurring on the surface. This was not the case, however, as his vault was breached by unknown intruders, three of them. One made him an offer; release from his longtime prison in exchange for his loyal servitude whenever it was needed. A new set of handcuffs to exchange the old ones. Nevertheless, Noon accepted, and was free to walk the Earth again, now something both more - and less - than human...

Global Wrestling Incorporated
After a month of being left alone to his own devices, Lord Noon was finally contacted by his superiors, and given puzzling instructions; he was to be employed by the glitzy island-based pro wrestling promotion Global Wrestling Incorporated (GWi). Noon obliged, and landed on the island in a flurry of mangled human and broken aeroplane. He proceeded to murder several employees of the company and win a Make Your Mark Match held on October 6th (against Amberly Barnes, Christopher Freedman, Rix Usher and Brand 'Echo' Brolin) by threatening to kill the referee.

Alas, Noon's time in the spotlight was cut short by the GWi's collapse, due to backstage politicking. Hunting for Reno Taylor and company chief executive Daniel Scott at the time, Noon was suddenly left aimless again, and simply disappeared.

Xtreme Fighting Championship
Eventually, after much turmoil, the remains of GWi were bought by the island's original master, the 'Big Guy', who restored the name of his pet project, XFC.

Lord Noon had been keeping himself busy by tending to matters for his masters over the last few months, but when XFC returned, he was instructed to return to the island; there were certain folks present there that needed to be taught a lesson, of the fatal variety.

The XFC made its official return to the airwaves with Blood Fusion on January 12th, 2009, headlined by a battle royale in a gimmick-strewn double-tiered ring. The contest was eventually won by Lucifer Hawks. Noon, meanwhile, has been scheduled to face the ridiculously large Enforcer at the next show...

Escort
In his first introduction to the eWrestling world, Lord Noon shot a girl from a semi-respectable escort service through the abdomen, then attempted to have sexual intercourse with her corpse before being interrupted. Her name was never revealed, and no investigation was ever carried out by local police.

Uniformed Male
Shortly after the business with the escort, Noon came across this man at a private airstrip where he intended to steal a plance. After getting unhelpful responses from the man, Noon shot him. His name was Jeremy Parkinson, aged 26.

Nicole Essence
Nicole was the younger sister of Aubrey Essence, GWi's former lead backstage interviewer. Nicole intended to follow in her sister's footsteps, but her career path was radically readjusted when Noon blew her brains out through her nose. She was quite a cheerful, enthusiastic girl who made up for her unprofessional manner with her determination to make a good impression.

Camera Operator
GWi Cameraman David Schuster was accompanying Nicole when she held her ill-fated interview with Lord Noon, and he was also killed by the Lord for no clear reason. He was 39, married, with one daughter.

Liz Applegate
A youthful redhead from Nebraska, Liz could never afford to fly to GWi's exclusive island hideaway, but won free tickets in a competition promoted by Martin's Pastrami Sandwiches 2 Go. She made many new friends amongst the other tourists with her bubbly personality, and felt somewhat embarassed but generally thrilled when Noon dedicated his one and only cabaret performance to her. How she died is a mystery, but her corpse was recovered from Noon's locker room after he left the island.

Jillian Foxx
Formerly a member of the XFC Eye Candy Squad - a combination of backstage interviewer and, well, eye candy - miss Foxx, for whatever reason, was not asked to resume her duties when the league reformed. She did her best to put the disappointment behind her, but her ties to the promotion's previous self may well have been what drew Noon to her on New Year's Eve, prompting him to blast a hole through her lungs before settling in for a romantic night at the bells.

Sometime later, it was revealed that Noon had 'married' Jillian, in spite of her being quite dead. Their relationship is solid as a rock, and mutually fulfilling.

Basic Moves
Lord Noon has no basic moves. He merely hits things.

Signature Moves

 * You Leave Me Breathless (From regular standing position, Lord Noon pulls the opponent's head back by the hair, then strikes the chest with an elbow whilst simultaneously driving a knee into the upper back, sandwiching the lungs between the two points.
 * Mercy! (With the opponent face down on the mat, Lord Noon steps on one of their ankles to keep it in place, before pulling the other up and outwards, as far as it'll go, and keeps it held there. Theoretically a submission move, but Noon really invented it to look up girl's skirts. And to shoot them in the naughty place.)

Finishing Moves

 * High Noon (With the opponent sat up on the turnbuckle or other elevated position - Superplex position - Lord Noon steps up top, pulls the opponent to their feet, then turns around, clutching their head over one of his shoulders. He then takes a short hop forward and falls down to a sitting positon on the mat, with the opponent taking the hit like a Stone Cold Stunner.)

Fighting Style
Brawler - Lord Noon does not see the difference between wrestling and fighting, and so treats each match like a straightforward brawl, striking with fast, calculated and brutal fists, kicks and headbutts, only pausing to grab someone around the neck and throw them into something hard. Think along the lines of how Daniel Craig's James Bond fights.

Ring Attire
Black tuxedo, stained brown with dried blood; white velvet gloves on hands; black bow tie and frilly white shirt; head covered by wooden mask resembling the head of a classic ventriloquist's dummy; nondescript shoes; all skin from the neck down is marked with scars in the shape of the number 12; jacket hides pancake holster containing Sweet Bertha Faye, his personalised Colt Python revolver.

Entrance Music
Waltz to the Death from the score to 1989's Batman, composed by Danny Elfman.
