Character Info
Real Name: Victoria Lynette Essex
Ring Name: Emma Carlisle
Nicknames: Death, The End of All Things, Goldie (by Joanna only)
General Info
Birthplace: Coventry, Warwickshire, United Kingdom
Resides: Malibu, California
Alignment: Heel
Relationship Status: Engaged
Age: 25
Picture Base: Katarina Waters
Appearance
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 142lbs
Hair: Dark auburn, straked with blue, purple and black
Eyes: Ice blue
Ring Gear: Standard long wrestling tights with portions artfully cut away to reveal a layer of fine mesh beneath. The top portion consists of a corset-style vest with sleeves that reach to her middle finger made of the same mesh as is beneath her tights. Matching fingergless gloves, choker and knee pads complete the set along with knee-high black boots. Literally the only parts of her body not covered in some fashion are her hands and head.
Entrance Attire: A floor-length hooded cloak and a mask that covers the entire upper part of her face, stylized to represent a fanged, bleached skull, both of which are removed once she enters the ring.
Backstage Attire: If she's seen in anything other than her ring/entrance attire, it will typically consist of ripped jeans or leather pants and a mesh top beneath a band or wrestling t-shirt. No matter the style it will hold to the attribute of covering as much of her body as possible.
Manager/Partner
Joanna Thade
Entrance
Theme: "Midnight" - The Birthday Massacre
Standard Entrance
The arena darkens while fog wafts up from beneath the stage, lights going off with a strobe effect meant to resemble lightning white the calculated notes of a synthesizer weave their way through the sound system. Twenty-two seconds in the music picks up in strength and fullness, the strains of The Birthday Massacre's "Midnight" wafting through the speakers and into the arena at full power. After a few moments before the lights come up in tints of blue and purple, a spotlight shining down on a single figure who rises from within the fog at the top of the ramp with a confident pose. Another figure, having stood back to back with the first, turns and stands at her side.
"I can't decide which one of us will leave here alive
Your fingers breaking as I place them over mine
The only thing I need is time
To change your mind, I said
When all that you know
Has fallen behind you
It's not the past that you're afraid to see
There's nobody here and no one to find you
Tonight is forever"
The first of the two, throwing back her hood and thus revealing the skull mask beneath, is the reigning World Visionary Champion, Emma Carlisle. She remains at the top of the ramp, staring out over the crowd, soaking in the mixed reaction with the title slung over her right shoulder. She walks purposefully, the Nail of Eris thrust into her belt, down to the ring with her fiancee and stablemate, Joanna Thade, the Warchild, at her side moving at a like pace. In the darkness, cell phone lights go up, the spotlight following the pair as they reach the ring apron.
"I can't decide which one of us is dreaming tonight
I'm just a shadow in the light you leave behind
The only thing I need is time
To change your mind, I said
When all that you know
Has fallen behind you
It's not the past that you're afraid to see
There's nobody here and no one to find you
Tonight is forever"
Emma pulls herself up onto the apron and enters the ring, casting aside her cloak as she walks to the center. Pulling off her mask, she glares into the camera before tilting her head back and shrieking loudly, thrusting the title high into the air. The strobes erupt anew at this, briefly, before she lowers her head. Joanna moves to take a knee before her, the maul portion of Hephty pressed to the mat while Emma places a black-nailed hand on her partner's shoulder and lowers the championship back to rest over her own, the Warchild affecting a delightedly malicious smile. "Midnight" fades out slowly and Emma, title still in hand, backs toward a corner and stands stoically awaiting the start of the match while Joanna excuses herself to her partner's corner, taking the championship when it is offered.
Repertoire
Wrestling Style: Cross-Style Shooter. Emma's move set encompasses several different styles meshed with the mentality of putting as much snap into her strikes and squeeze into her holds that she can get away with. In the older days of wrestling, she might be considered a 'hooker', someone who could legitimately injure someone with simple holds.
Strengths
[/b] Emma intimidates through presence and reputation alone in many cases. Naturally, not everyone is given to being intimidated, so this isn't always a given, but even against iron-willed opponents she still comes off as a bit creepy if nothing else.Real Name: Victoria Lynette Essex

In the older days of wrestling, she might be considered a 'hooker', someone who could legitimately injure someone with simple holds.
Strengths
Relentless: The more an opponent is hurting, the more Emma likes it. She'll gnaw on an open wound, twist a damaged limb and whatever else she must do to get a scream out of her opponent. That was always the case but lately she has 'refined' this approach, becoming more calculating at taking advantage of an opponent's suffering.
Precision Suffering: Emma strives to make even basic moves hurt as much as possible. Bringing a suplexed opponent down more on the head and shoulders than the back or throwing herself harder into a clothesline than she has to being examples of this.
Deadly Fortitude: Despite how she may carry herself in and out of the ring, Death is NOT unstoppable. Examples of a rough life are etched into her skin and she'll be the first to admit that she's not all there mentally or emotionally. She can, however, take quite the beating. Not unstoppable, not incapable of tapping out, but certainly requiring a grand amount of punishment before giving in.[/font][/ul]
Weaknesses
Death Never Sleeps: Upon winning the championship from Casanova English, Emma has determined that she will neither slow nor mitigate her mission in VoW even if it means she must push herself even harder than before. A sharp mind and lots of guts can overcome a lot but sometimes the body can't keep up with the mind.
No Prey Too Small: Despite having a veritable army at her beck and call, Emma often chooses to fight most battles, even those putting her at a disadvantage, on her own. Sometimes those close to her can talk her out of rash behavior but other times... it's head-first into the fray.
Tunnel Vision: When Emma gets a goal in mind it takes a Herculean effort to turn her from it. Smart adversaries can draw her in through this if they can weather her onslaught.[/font][/ul]

Notable Feuds
Joanna Thade: A feud that was the brainchild of their respective companies, a strange relationship formed before, during and after their sole match versus one another, a First Blood Match, which saw barbed-wire baseball bats and switchblades drawn before Emma eventually took the win. The rest is history. Bloody, violent history. Recently the two clashed again as Joanna sought to test herself against her sisters defeating Emma, Talon and Katalina Star in a handicap match.
The Sleepover Club: This feud led to the formation of the Chaossworn as they clashed with Candi, Cherry and Sophie Kaiser in a series of tag matches. More often than not, Emma and Joanna came out on top despite flashes of skill and brilliance by the SOC. Oddly enough, Candi is now an ally in the sway of Emma's fellow Horsewoman, Katalina Star.
Sophie Kaiser: A spin-off of the Sleepover Club that saw Little Miss Sunshine turn dark due to Emma's machinations though other factors played a large part as well. Their sole one-on-one encounter, a Submission Match, led to Emma breaking Sophie's undefeated streak via Melodious Nihilism, sending the young Kaiser out of GPW.
Head Office: A choice remark over Twitter led to a short yet high-level feud between Emma and Head Office. In the process she defeated Veronica Valiant to force her way into a four-way Submission Smash match for the GPW World Heavyweight Championship and took a nasty four-on-one beatdown from G.O.D., Jo MacFarlane and Veronica. In the four-way, she held up her promise of denying Veronica the championship, which was eventually won by Constance Chapin, ending the reign of Gaia Galanos.
Casanova English: Seemingly on a whim, on the Breakthrough following Fate of the Gods II, Emma, stinging from a tough loss with Joanna to the Neon Girls and interrupted by Ryder Blade, made the brash claim that Casanova English 'belonged' to her. Breakthrough 48 saw her take a disqualification win over English and at 49 she and Joanna defeated the champion and Ryder Blade in a main event tag match, spewing rhetoric and threats at one another all the while. At Heatstroke in a main event pitting English, Blade and Emma agaisnt one another with the big belt on the line and a veritable buffet of people wanting in on the action, Emma pinned English to become not only the first female World Visionary Champion but to earn her very first title.[/font][/ul]

Biography: What little is known of Emma's past reveals that her birth name is Victoria Lynette Essex, a name she kept until the age of fourteen. From the age of sixteen until the present, she has been known as Emma Carlisle, the only moniker she knew or answered to for several years. Details remain sketchy, but signs point to a trio of men working from within the company her birth parents built, warping the young woman with a combination of harsh training, psychological conditioning/torture and potent drugs that affect the mind and emotions. This was done for a purpose yet to be explained and while the effects are finally starting to filter out, they still plague her. She was off the grid for one year following the deaths of her parents, the details of their demise highly suspicious yet currently inconclusive, and it was assumed that the young woman had committed suicide in her grief. What happened during her fifteenth year even Emma herself does not know. Chance occurrences led to the case of her disappearance being reopened nearly ten years after she disappeared and through this Emma not only regained the reins of her parents' company but was also able to deal with the people responsible for making her into what she is today. The manner of this 'dealing with' goes unspoken among all save for her inner circle, the Horsewomen and her trusted confidant, Eleanor Merriweather, a woman likewise affected by Emma's own warping.
Recently, Emma began taking sessions with her fiancee's psychologist, Dr. Opeare Shields. According to these sessions and his personal records, Emma is beginning to reconnect with herself and reacquire some of the person she used to be. However the end result of where this will lead is still in question. While the 'Victoria' side has been acknowledged and is gaining traction, the 'Emma' side is still strong and demanding control. According to their most recent session, Dr. Shields fears a self-destruction if an accord is not reached within Emma's mind.
