These are all the traits that best define a Wrestler but those that would walk alongside him. Ruled by nothing but their Ideals Unlike alignment choices that you may use to dictate how you play a character of another class, a Wrestler can be categorized into one of three moral guidelines that you may choose to use to help you in roleplaying aspects or just define a general personality for your Wrestler. These three are: The Babyface: A Wrestler defined by his honesty and good intentions. This is a Wrestler who thrives on performing to the crowd's liking or defending his loyal friends from evil's clutches, head held up high every passing day knowing that he is making the world a better place, step by step. Tends to respect the art of Wrestling and opts not to do anything that would undermine his adversaries. The Heel: A sleazy, sneaky and dirty Wrestler who does what he can to get things his way. Usually cares only about himself and has no qualms or worries about sabotaging other people if it furthers his goals, whatever they are. Focuses on handling his opponents in an arrogant and unsportsmanlike manner like cheap shotting them and gives no fucks if anyone else thinks badly of him, solving that issue many times with a simple chair shot to the face. The Tweener: With good and bad, face and heel, there is also balance, that is the essence of the Tweener. This is a wrestler that categorizes himself as being morally neutral or ambiguous. At one point he might offer a handshake to a defeated opponent while in the next second he might be ripping it's arm out. A wrestler truly defined as trudging between what he considers good and evil.
