Alignment: Lawful Evil (Heel)

Strengths:
1 - Speed: Freddie moves quickly in the ring, and also thinks quickly on his feet.
2 - Tenacity: Both a strength and a weakness, he doesn't give up easily when in difficult situations in-ring.
3 - Experience: Freddie has been in the industry since late 2009, and during his 'official' break time, continued to work on The Circuit. (This is, however, not common knowledge)
4 - Flexibility: When presented with matches which make a high-flying style difficult, he is usually well-prepared for the challenge and trains accordingly.

Weaknesses:
1 - Impulsiveness: Freddie usually doesn't think about the consequences of his actions, either in our out of the ring.
2 - Tenacity: His stubbornness can have the potential for injury risk.
3 - Childishness: Or rather, a childish disregard for others, which doesn't always make for a pleasant working experience for those around him.

Ring Entrance:

Red lighting blooms through the arena, bleeding in to mute all other colors. A woman's mournful voice sings out--

[align=center]Dark twisted fantasy, turned into reality
Kissing death and losing my breath...[/align]

Flame pyro arcs up silently on each end of the stage and Angelica walks between the pillars, Tabula Rasa's face underlit behind her for just a second before it dies.

[align=center]Dig up her bones but leave the soul alone
Let her find a way to a better place[/align]

She pauses for a moment at the top of the ramp, appraising the crowd with a faint sneer and letting Freddie meet her. They walk down to the ring, not reacting at all to the boos and jeers, unrushed. Angelica leads the way up the ring steps, holding the top and middle ropes apart for Freddie to climb in the ring. She stays on the apron, he walks to the far ropes and steps up to the middle one, leaning over and looking out without a smile for a moment.

[align=center]Broken dreams and silent screams
Empty churches with soulless curses
We found a way to escape the day.[/align]

He returns to his corner where she waits, leaning back, seemingly ignoring the goingson.

Biography:
Freddie is the only son of two well-regarded New York socialites. He followed his graduation from private schooling with a stint in a long-stay mental health facility in upstate New York. The pedigree is well-known, the 'college time' a secret. 

As Tabula Rasa, Freddie has been around in the industry for a few years: long enough to get a reputation for being difficult to get along with, while being a reasonably-entertaining enough mid-to-upper-carder to keep getting re-hired. Prior to May 2014, he hadn’t worked (officially) in about two years: just after winning a much-coveted title in a popular organisation based out of Orlando, the business folded and it seemed that he just hadn’t bothered to keep going during that period. While he did indeed have a break during this time, he also spent just over a year fighting for The Circuit. Generally acerbic and difficult to get along with when it comes to co-workers, when he’s on-game he’s reliable enough. In terms of his career, he seems quite happy to inhabit the tall shadow of his more talented wife, Angelica. An inveterate troll, both in the workplace and on the internet, his snarky nature can tend to cause tension with those around him.

Accomplishments:
2011/2012 - Evolution Champion, Evolution 21
Current - Tag titles, Innovative Independent Wrestling (With wife/tag partner Angelica)
