Entrance Theme:
"Ghost Brigade" - Two Steps From Hell
www.youtube.com/watch?v=abpAkzciDEI
Entrance Description:
There’s the sound of a clock ticking on the PA, growing steadily faster and louder - the strobes flashing rapidly in time with the ticking until suddenly it stops
“Ang mga ghost ay hahantong sa paraan …”
With that the opening of Two Steps From Hell’s ‘Ghost Brigade’ begins as Mister Grey walks clamly out onto the stage, he steps to the side after surveying the crowd a moment to allow Tala Multo to stride past him. She stays focused on the ring as Grey follows her down, not interacting with the fans whatsover.
When she gets to the ring she takes the steps, walking to the center of the outside apron she holds her arms out a moment, looking away from the ring. After a moment she shrugs off her ring coat, tossing it to Mister Grey before she steps between the ropes and walks to her corner, using the ropes to stretch as she awaits the beginning of the match
Gimmick Description:
Tala is a former semi-professional kickboxer and shootboxer in her native Philippines as well as in Japan, winning several titles in lesser known promotions. However with the market for women's kickboxing drying up as Mixed-Martial-Arts become ever more popular, she was desparate to find some venue to continue to grow as a fighter. Luckily for her the enigmatic Mister Grey had selected her to pluck out of obscurity and turn into his star... to what end even she doesn't know, but as long as she's getting paid and staying out of a dead-end in her homeland, she'll follow him to the ends of the Earth.
Her and Grey's relationship is based upon not only a beneficial working partnership, but also a healthy dose of respect that goes both ways.

Bio/Brief History:
Personality: Tala is quiet, professional and focused, but lacking much in the way of education she finds herself largely reliant on her manager Mister Grey. She does love a good fight… and actually hides a genuinely warm sense of humor past all the face-kicking, a product of having many siblings and a generall close family upbringing.
Personal History: Growing up in the poorer half of the city of Manilla, Tala is the third youngest of seven children, all of whom were expected to contribute to the family, ranging from chores to doing tasks for neighbors for money. Despite her busy home life she and her siblings were still expected to attend public school, which is where Tala discovered the joy of intramural sports and her escape from the tedium of her home life.
The sports in particular she got into were that of combat sports: kickboxing, Muay Thai and boxing. Finding she had a flavor for martial arts she started devoting more time and energy into her extra-curricular studies, often finding herself sticking up for her siblings at school besides.
At the age of fifteen she dropped out of school to persue and opporunity her trainers - who’d seen her promising talent at her shoot-boxing amateur events - afforded her, booking and travelling fights for actual purses and even getting her fighting tours in Japan.
After several years fighting on the semi-professional fighting circuit Tala found herself getting frustrated with the glass cieling she was hitting, both in pay and in challenge. Her motivation had started to dwindle around the age of twenty-one, opportunities drying up with the age of Mixed-Martial Arts taking over and the training for it being beyond her financial means.
Luckily before she was forced to find a new profession and abandon years of training, she was approached by a mysterious man named Mister Grey, with an offer and an opportunity: Make money and fight for him in the United States. He would be the provider, and all she would need to do to continue her lifestyle is what came naturally and make a living while doing so.
She’d fight
Professional History & Accolades:
~SPIRIT SHOOTBOXING UNLIMITED (Fictional Canon/Shootboxing)
~Manilla Kickboxing League - X1 Bantamweight , X2 Featherweight Champion (Fictional Canon/Kickboxing)
~WARPATH Strike Association - X2 Catchweight Champion (Fictional Canon/Shootboxing)
Other:
While she often finishes fights with the Gator Kick, it is by no means the “big move” as coming from a sport where “Puncher’s Chance” is law, she believes that any move that wins the match will work, be it a short jab or a nuclear head kick.
Does absolutely no high-fling, both because she hasn’t learned it in wrestling school AND because she simply doesn’t see the need for it.
Does not believe in using weapons… she’ll make full use of her five count, she’ll choke people and she’ll occasionally go for the eyes, but she sees no need for weapons, as such will be out of her element in a hardcore match
Everywhere BUT the actual match - from backstage segments to even travelling - Tala can often be found with the translator Mister Grey hired for her
In Filipino : Tala means “Goddess Of The Stars” and Multo means “Ghost”
