[ Rose Suit ] | [ Business Casual ]
Name: William "Bill" Pryce
Gender: Male
Age: ~30
Race: Human
Home: Aster City
Alliance: Kirin Canyon
Alignment: Neutral
Family: Buck Pryce (father), Penny Pryce (mother), Dolores "Dolly" Pryce (sister)
Friends: Chiyoko Uzuki
Rivals: ?
Enemies: Camber; the Fire Kingdom
Likes: The color red
Dislikes: Fire
Job: Kirin Canyon Agent/Manager for Chiyoko Uzuki
Relationship: Though he has a professional relationship with Chiyoko, managing her paperwork and the like, he does care for her well-being. He's on neutral terms with his mother, but estranged from his father. He dreads his younger sister, Dolores, and often tries to keep his conversations with her brief.
Personality: An overenthusiastic agent and manager with a fondness for loud, obnoxiously patterned suits. He's highly persistent and seems to love hearing himself talk. He often jokes (such as making awful puns) and makes light of things, though this is also just a means of brightening the mood. This also seems to help him remain unfazed in situations, such as quickly recovering from having a knife pulled on him. He seems to dote on his client Chiyoko, doing whatever he can to keep her happy and comfortable. In spite of his fast-talking, carefree demeanor, he can speak frankly, and has done so on rare occasions when caught off guard or confronted with a personal situation.
Powers:
He is an ordinary human whose best skill is negotiation, diplomacy, and overall dealing with people. Though it usually only pertains to business matters, he's used it to help talk down more physically threatening foes before. It's not always successful, though.
History:
An energetic agent and manager, Bill's talent for negotiating seems to run in his family. With his mother a diplomat and his father a politician, he learned how to appeal to people from a young age, using this skill to earn favors and approval. However, he disliked the thankless, high pressure work of both of his parents, and opted to pursue a job in the entertainment industry at a young age. He ended up joining Kirin Canyon, a media company noted for mostly employing women. Though a bit out of place, he nevertheless served as a manager for many clients over time.
Almost a decade later, the company decided to conduct an experimental venture. Hoping to appeal to a wider audience, they sought to put one of their idol singers into professional wrestling. It was a difficult task, as most of the company's employed performers were adverse to the idea of being physically harmed. When April Suzuki volunteered for the task however, Bill overheard her lack of fear in the matter, and was even surprised that she thought the venture would be a fun experiment. Determined to prepare her for the rough road ahead, Bill requested to manage her.
Now under the name Chiyoko, she proved to be highly successful. This was in part owed to Bill's meticulous management, encouragement and friendship with her, especially when she doubted herself. He did what he could to make her comfortable, heeding her rare requests. One of these requests was for a trainer to help hone her fighting abilities. Bill ended up hiring Casey Calhoun, who had saved Bill himself on Aster City's streets from a thug.
Unfortunately, Casey was put off by Bill's behavior, which Casey perceived as shady and underhanded. When he mistook one of Bill's idle jokes as a threat, Casey's resentment of him began to build up over several months. The gang leader eventually lost his temper, cornering Bill in his hotel room while Chiyoko was out, confronting him. He accused Bill as a manipulator who saw Chiyoko only as a tool to make money, but was surprised when Bill had several counterpoints calling out Casey's own behavior. This resulted in Casey storming out and leaving his employment. Shortly after, Bill was immediately kidnapped by goons sent by Chiyoko's opponent at the time: Camber, the Queen of Flames.
Camber held Bill hostage in order to play mind games with Chiyoko, which proved to be successful. It eventually lead to a series of events that ended with Camber personally throwing Bill through a flaming table, hospitalizing him. Though Chiyoko ended up avenging her manager, defeating Camber in battle, she left wrestling to look after Bill and emotionally recover from the trauma of her failure. Bill himself gained a horrifying fear of large fires, and generally cannot stand to be around any sort of flame larger than a stove top gas flame.
While Bill's since healed up, he's been taking it easier lately. He's relocated to Aster City and lives in the same apartment building as Chiyoko, who he still manages for Kirin Canyon.
Anything else:
- He originally wore a full rose patterned suit. The sleeves were damaged when he was held captive by Camber. When he was later freed, he got rid of them completely and converted the jacket into a vest. It has some sentimental value for him as it was the suit he wore for Chiyoko's wrestling debut.
- His entire family's names are based off of nicknames for money, with Bill referring to dollar bills.
