APPEARANCE
Tall and powerful, his body is covered with hideous keloid scars, enduring welts from primitive sutures and strangetly unexplainable excvrescenses. These are the reminders of the pain he cannot feel, and are on display whenever he enters the ring. His face is a ghastly pale with no color whatsoever except for a sickly yellow and the dark circles around his sunken eyes. On either side of his mouth, long, jagged scars extend from each corner into each cheek, forever giving him a sinister, maddening grin.
In the ring, his upper body is bare and black jiu jitsu pants hang from his hips. His forearms, fists and ankles are wrapped in flex tape.
FIGHTING STYLE
Spiral has a long background in ameteaur and professional wrestling. Early in his professional career he also trained in boxing but never persued it professionally. While in prison, he began training in the Filipino Martial Art Panantukan, also known as "Dirty Boxing." The art primarily consists of upper-body striking techniques such as punches, elbows, head-butts, shoulder strikes, and groin punches, but it also includes low-line kicks and knee strikes to the legs, shins, and groin.
During fights, Spiral uses Panantukan to land several quick, hard strikes to the eyes, nose, jaw, temples and neck of the opponent. He will especially focus on the "soft tissue" areas of the body, such as the groin, and will also try landing strikes to the spine and kidneys. Fishhooking, eye-gouging, and rabbit punches are also often incorporated.
Defensively, Panantukan prefers parries and deflections over blocks or "eating punches" (like normal boxing). As such, emphasis is put on minimizing contact from the opponent, perrying and countering quickly any strikes from the opponent.
Ultimately, Spiral will look to break down the opponent with his strikes and then get him down on the mat. From here, he prefers a Ground and Pound method, beating on his opponent mercilessly until the fight is called. However, his strength in wrestling gives him plenty of submission options, including chokes and neck cranks. He will also quickly implement small-joint manipulation, such as bending, twisting and breaking fingers or toes.
