Anyway, to show off. Or I don't know, anyone who wrestles and reads this, feel free to use.
The character is Brother Love and The Jackyl mixed together, a preacher/cult leader sort of gimmick. His name, the one I thought of, is Anthony Christopher Gardner (Anti Christ allusion, and Gardner for "Sunshine" Gardner character, a corrupt preacher from Stephen King's "Talisman"). Basically his thing is love, the greatest power in the Universe, he loves everyone, whatever he does he does out of love, his goal is to teach people love, etc. He wrestles because he wants to exorcise vice and hate out of his opponents. His promos are outwardly pleasant, as he proclaims his love to the audience or the opponent, but then burying them by talking about how hopeless their lives are, implying everyone around him is vile and miserable, etc. He may have the host segment where he can preach or interview other wrestlers, or pick people from the crowd and verbally run them down, like the Brother Love Show.
He's always pleasent smiling, literally, even during the matches, and he has sort of a signature gesture where he raises one of his hands, or both, with index and middle fingers held together and the ring finger and the pinkie pressed to the inside of the palm, the "prophet hand sign". Talks in soft and calm voice, never raising it. In a little twist to the character, sometimes during the promos or the matches he'll stop smiling and have this angry, insane look on his face, but only for a few seconds. Then he'll get a grip of himself and go back to grinning. The idea is to show that despite the Jesus wannabe image he's trying to project, inside he's evil and probably not so stable.
He has long flowing hair, maybe a beard too, and has the words "Love" and "Hate" tatooed on his knuckles. His ring attire consists of a long sleveless trenchcoat, vynil or leather pants, boots and wrist tape, all white, and for his host segment he wears a suit, a shirt and a tie, also white, and maybe dark glasses. A theme song is Eurythmics' "Miracle Of Love" (that's off the top of my head, maybe some other song can suit him better). During his enterence the lights go out and a single white spotlight follows him to the ring, as silver flicks rain from the ceiling (think Glacier enterence) as he walks with both of his hands raised in the prophet hand sign, smiling and ocassionally shaking a fan's hand. Sometimes he'll stop and run some fan down verbally, while still smiling and being pleasant.
During the match he'll cheat and use low blows and eye pokes, but often back off the fallen opponent and encourage the ref to check on him or even helping him back on his feet. Will act cowardly and sometimes get himself counted out when in trouble. His finish can be called "Deliverance", which is a PK move from Fire Pro games (he'll get the opponent in the sleeper, then carefully sit him down, release the hold, maybe pet the opponnent on the shoulder, as if checking if he's ok, then run off the ropes and hit the knee in the face). When in trouble he'll grab a flask or a vial from his valet and throw the containings in opponent's face, blinding him and\or causing a burning sensation. The idea is that the liquid is alcohol, or some chemical maybe, but he'll insist in his defence that it is water charged with "engergy of love", and because his opponent is evil, it burns him (holy water allusion).
He may have a valet who's either in love with him or brainwashed by his preachings; kind of like Lacey during her AOTF run with Jimmy Jacobs. A shy and quiet type, she'll take abuse from him without saying a word (which is , according to him, for her own good, to help her get rid of vice and hate inside her), will let him use her as a sheild against the opponent during the match, or get on the apron to ditsract the ref. Won't physically attack her man's opponents though. On very rare ocassion, maybe saved for something special, she may throw herself in the harm's way to take a shot meant for for him, like a chair shot or something of that sort. During his promos she'll stand silently on the background and only talk when he addresses her, usually short phrases or single words.
Sometime into their run she may be either grow tired of his abuse or have some sense talked into her by her man's opponent, or fall in love with someone else, and leave his side, causing him to snap and go completely batshit (okay, I better stop, I'm just ripping Lacey-Austin Aries-Jimmy Jacobs angle off). As in, he'lll abandon the love principle and let hate consume him, turning into a psychotic and violent character with his attire changing to black, and his theme being replaced with something else.
Actually he may switch to this dark image during a particulary violent feud, reasong being that since his opponent only understands the language of hate' he'll beat him in his own game, something of that sort ( yeah... Hulk Hogan called from 1995 and he wants his gimmick back).
