COTG Prime 2019: Infinity, Infinity-Plex & Tauran
Catch up with COTG Prime 2019 and meet Infinity, Infinity-Plex and Tauran and experience the calm before the storm coming in Battle Lines.
INFINITY-PLEX
Infinity-Plex is Infinity from an alternate universe!
He is the “anti” Infinity. He hails from Regulus in a mirror dimension, an antimatter universe. And he has been carrying on a war with Infinity for nearly 80 years.
Infinity-Plex has ruled over Regulus in an alternate dimension for 150 years, and in that 150 years the planet has suffered tremendously under his heel. Once a mirror image of the beautiful Regulus ruled by Infinity, Regulus ruled by Infinity-Plex no longer resembles a healthy planet or society it once was.
Towns once filled with people now rot, abandoned after many wars and deaths. Starvation has plagued the planet after Infinity-Plex allowed hordes of orcs and giants to steal from, ravage and destroy farmers who refused to hand over their crops. Once all the farmers were killed off, the crop supply died too, leaving monsters of the land to feed off of the corpses of their defeated enemies. Infinity-Plex has turned Regulus into a horror show and now Infinity fights to keep his home planet from suffering the same fate.
Infinity-Plex has a master plan to destroy Infinity, take his place on Regulus in Infinity’s universe and start the destruction all over again. It’s Infinity vs Infinity-Plex on Kronos and the fate of Regulus hangs in the balance!
Infinity-Plex is pure evil. His mere presence on Kronos is causing a natural rift between heroes and villains who previously kept emotions in check in the spirit of competition. But no more. Villains are acting out more violently and heroes are stepping up to defend the integrity of Crossroads of the Galaxy. How long before black and white battle lines are drawn and a full blown galactic war explodes on Kronos?
Infinity-Plex is the most powerful villain on Kronos, and one of the toughest wrestlers in any universe. INSTABILITY GRIP is a weaker version of Infinity’s INFINITY GRIP. Secretly Infinity-Plex fumes that he is unable to duplicate the power of INFINITY GRIP, but yet still tries desperately to defeat him with his own move in attempts to humiliate his rival.
INFINITY SUPERPLEX is an incredible sight to behold as Infinity-Plex uses his immense power and agility to perform an agonizingly long delayed superplex from the top turnbuckle.
“Life exists only because of death. I have cleansed Regulus in my universe of the weak, allowing the strong to survive, as it should be. The ash and rubble that remain is a warning to Infinity. Soon his home will undergo the same cycle of life. But the pain and suffering on Regulus is temporary, as new will soon spawn from old, and I will rule supreme over both planets in both universes. Infinity will however not be awarded such a generous fate. The pain I leave him with will not be temporary, instead torturing him for an infinity!”
INFINITY
And now Infinity is the biggest superstar on Kronos!
Both Infinity and Infinity-Plex are members of an alien race of people who live an average of 800 years. Both fighters are in their 300’s, so they are just hitting their prime!
Infinity has ruled over the star of Regulus for 150 years. The planet thrives under Infinity. He is insanely popular with his people due to his fairness and leadership on Regulus and is one of the most respected and trusted fighters in all of the galaxy. He is an awesome warrior, leader and hero. Infinity is the total package!
Infinity vs Infinity-Plex immediately becomes the biggest feud on Kronos. But what reason does Solaris have for bringing their war to the Crossroads of the Galaxy and why now?
Infinity is the ultimate hero on Kronos and his aura is infectious to the heroes in Crossroads of the Galaxy. He is naturally motivating, inspiring and brings the very best out of everybody around him.
STABILITY PLEX is a slightly weaker version of Infinity-Plex’s INFINITY SUPERPLEX. INFINITY GRIP is just what it sounds like, a nearly inescapable sharp shooter that Infinity locks in for as long as it takes to get the submission! Infinity uses Infinity Challenge (a full Nelson bridging suplex) to set up his finishers.
Note 1: INFINITY GRIP is a 1-6 roll finisher. The result of the roll of the finisher rating.
When Infinity wrestles Infinity-Plex INFINITY GRIP can be countered by Infinity-Plex (presumably because Infinity-Plex knows the tendencies of Infinity so well). When Infinity rolls INFINITY GRIP in matches vs Infinity-Plex, roll one die. On a roll of 1 Infinity-Plex counters the move and rolls on level 3 offense. On rolls of 2-6, the result is the finisher rating. Infinity-Plex rolls his pin plus the finisher rating.
Note 2: Once you receive your COTG Promoter Prime Q4 3 Pack - you’ll notice both Infinity and Infinity-Plex are strapped with multiple ch charts options - ex: Moonvault - 3 (ch G/H).
This is because Infinity and Infinity-Plex are versatile fighters capable of processing information and thoughts at infinite speeds. What does this mean for promoters? It means even more choices and control in matches involving Infinity and Infinity-Plex. It’s up to you Promoter!
“The war vs Infinity-Plex and his army of monsters has not gone on for over 75 years because it’s an even battle - because it is not. I have thrashed Infinity-Plex time and time again just like I will continue to do on Kronos. The war rages on because evil never rests. But Regulus in my universe remains safe and that will not change. Infinity-Plex will never defeat me, never destroy me and never take my place. Our war can rage on for another 75 years and nothing will change. I am Infinity. Infinity-Plex loses because he is a loser, never forget it.”
TAURAN
The fate of Tauran unfolds on Kronos.
Tauran was last seen in 2132. Reverse aging at a rapid pace and approaching his age 20, Tauran had just enough youthful risk taker in him to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Tauran in his youthful decline begrudgingly approaches the vampires on Draco and submits himself to them in exchange for eternal life. He is bitten and transformed into a vampire in exchange for his eternal loyalty and services during a mysterious Draco ritual. It is not known if it was Coven Black, Necros or an unknown vampire who bit Tauran, but it is believed that the vampire who drank the blood of Tauran gained immense power from the ritual. Will we see this vampire on Kronos one day?
Tauran lives! But with eternal life comes new problems for Tauran. A hero his entire career, he fights new urges to shred and maim opponents as warm vampire blood flows through his veins. Can Tauran control his new found rage or will it consume him?
Struggling with intense emotions about his decision Tauran quietly leaves Draco and heads to Kronos where he has banished himself as he battles feelings of guilt. Will Tauran live with eternal shame and doubt or grow to fully accept his new vampire self? And how soon before the vampires come looking for him on Kronos?
BITE OF THE VAMPIRE is a new natural reaction when Tauran is moving in for the kill. VAMPIRE BLOOD DROP is an awesome move where Tauran places his opponent slumped against the bottom turnbuckle, climbs the top turnbuckle on the opposite side of the ring and hits a full ring length flying dropkick to their face! Lights out!
“Draco vampires whispered in my ear for many years. I never gave the idea a thought. I could never turn on the FDF. Not even in exchange for a solution to my backwards aging. Then I got younger and sicker. I was dying. So I could sit there and suffer until I died or I could stop it from happening. Finally, I had an opportunity to have control. Will eternal life be a cruel and ironic punishment for avoiding uncertain death? It’s the risk I was willing to take. Now my eternal life will be lived out in secrecy on Kronos. In peace, for once and for always. Nobody from the GWF shall ever know my fate.”
The Survivors
COTG Prime Quarter 2 - 2020 introduced the Survivors to the COTG Galaxy.
TIMELINE - Unknown Settlements, Badlands of Tarkania, Centra
Day 1
The first case of an unknown virus in a remote settlement located in the Badlands of Tarkania. Scientists are so far unable to determine its origin.
Day 8
The novel virus has been spreading rapidly. Officials have been worked to slow the spread, but the infection rate is rising rapidly. After doing thorough contact tracing, Centra health officials believe that all cases seem to be linked to a single individual who had spent time at the Ruins of Antilia. No further information about the individual is available. A temporary hospital is being constructed because the remote settlement does not have the facilities to handle the large number of infections that are being reported.
Day 10
The first death from the “Antilia Virus” (as the media has dubbed it) occurred today. More and more members of the remote settlement have been coming forward with symptoms, which include numbness in extremities, severe headache and difficulty breathing.
Day 20
Chaos has consumed the settlement. In just over two weeks, ten percent of the population has died from the Antilia Virus. Dead bodies are beginning to pile up in the streets as there are no real coroner facilities in the settlement. Those not yet infected are fighting among each other, stealing from one another or worse. The entire settlement and three others have become lawless. Centra officials have quarantined the entire area and no one can get in or out.
Day 40
The worst nightmares have come true. The settlements are under attack from a zombie apocalypse! Over half the population in the area has been killed by the rabid Antilia Virus. 13 days after death, Antilia Virus victims have been coming back from the dead. Nobody is safe. If you can hear this transmission, find cover now!
[Sounds of zombies breaking down doors can be heard]
Be safe! May God have mercy on us all!
[Gun shots]
No….NO!!
[Screams are heard before the transmission cuts out and all we have is dead air.]
Day 41
An automated news cam catches three Survivors walking carefully down a set of train tracks in a dust storm. They are scavenging abandoned box cars for gas, weapons, food, medicine and tools.
Day 42
All hope is lost. Zombies are everywhere all across the settlement and the surrounding area. If there survivors still out there, they are alone. All communication has been lost. The last roaming news cam stopped broadcasting.
Day 45 (All footage hereafter was recovered from cams with that were found in the recovery effort)
Bobby Lee stands with slumped shoulders leaning against a wall in an ally. Dead bodies of zombies the Survivors just killed lay at their feet.
Thriller: WOOO! Hell yeah! What a rush! You think there are any more coming?
Nikolai quietly digs through the pockets of the dead, collecting their supplies and weapons.
Day 50
Bobby Lee sits alone on a couch of an unidentifiable military bunker wearing a thousand yard stare. Dead bodies of zombies the Survivors just killed lay at their feet.
Bobby Lee: I knew that guy. I knew that guy and I killed him.
Nikolai: Who did you know?
Bobby Lee: [Pointing toward one of the zombie bodies] I played against him in high school. I hadn't seen him in years. But I recognize the man. He went off to play ball somewhere else the same year I was drafted here.
Nikolai: That was no man. That was a monster.
Thriller: That’s right man! And you tore his stinking head off like it was nothing! HA!
Bobby Lee finally breaks his thousand yard stare and fixates his gaze on Thriller.
Day 55 Christmas Eve night, unnamed settlement, Badlands of Tarkania
The Survivors are weary, sitting together around a fireplace in an abandoned home contemplating their final moments. The sun is almost down and soon hordes of the undead will be upon them for what is likely the final time. Bobby Lee rises to his feet, ready to face the challenge. His fellow survivors join him.
Thriller: This is the end! WOOOOO! See you on the other side, gentlemen!
Nikolai: If tonight is our last, so be it. We go down with a fight!
A blinding light fills the room as the fireplace is suddenly replaced by a time portal.
A voice in the light speaks: If you want to live, come with me now.
Nikolai: Who the hell are you?
As zombies begin destroying the walls of the home, Nikolai fires a shot at first attacker entering the room. Bobby Lee takes a final look around before grabbing Nikolai and Thriller in a big bear hug. He takes a deep breath before jumping through the portal.
BOBBY LEE
Before the zombie apocalypse, Bobby Lee Donaldson was a popular young second generation gravity ball player for the Tarkania Wildcats.
Bobby was a known for being a team player and a quick thinker with a fun loving and calming personality off the field. On the field, Bobby Lee was a vicious player. He was nicknamed “Throwback” by his coaches for nasty playing style and his insistence on wearing his father’s old school helmet. Powerful and alert, Bobby Lee made a living protecting his quarterback. In the new world, Bobby Lee protected his new allies in the streets using all the same skills.
REMOVE THE HEAD is similar to a camel clutch, without the grace of a pro wrestler. Bobby Lee simply sits on the back of his opponent, grabs their head and cranks back as hard as he can. The opponent is forced to give up before Bobby Lee rips his head off!
THRILLER
Thriller is Centra stunt man who was shooting a spy movie in the Badlands of Tarkania when the outbreak occurred. It was his fearless dare-devil style that kept him alive in the most dangerous situations.
Thriller is an avid risk taker and adrenaline junkie. He is the life of the party and relaxes others around him with his good nature personality and ability to make others laugh. But he is also total wild card, never hesitant to jump into the face of danger with a smile.
Thriller maxes his adrenaline out with Thrill Seeker, a diving stunt fall onto the opponent outside of the ring and DEATH DEFIER, a fearless cannonball drop from the top rope down onto his opponent. Both moves do damage to Thriller too, but he lives for it. What a rush!
NIKOLAI
Nikolai is the founder and leader of the Survivors. He is ex-military, though his exact branch and rank remain muddied. He is natural and charismatic leader. When the outbreak in the Badlands of Tarkania began, Nikolai was working as a shady underground smuggler. A master of the black markets, Nikolai was making his living selling drugs, weapons and other illegal paraphernalia from the darkest corners of the planet before zombies consumed the Badlands.
How Nikolai was able to recruit Thriller and Bobby Lee remains a mystery for now, but they are as tight of a three man group as strangers can be (if they are strangers at all). Thriller and Bobby Lee are good people turned bad by circumstances out of their control. Who they used to be and who they have become are different people. Nikolai was already a bad guy. A cerebral threat to everyone around him. But the outbreak made him stronger. Once a loner, Nikolai has evolved into a dangerous psychological predator.
Nikolai leads the Survivors with no apologies. He carries around his signature cattle prod and is not shy about using it. This can get Nikolai disqualified, a foreign concept to the Survivors who know no red lights inside or outside of the ring. Survivor Slashing is a ruthless thumb spike to an opponent’s throat. CURB STOMP is a heartless finisher developed by crushing zombie skulls.
In trios matches, Nikolai unleashes SURVIVAL INSTINCTS. It is a calculated gang attack where Bobby Lee and Thriller smash the two wrestlers not legal in the ring and knock them off of the ring apron, taking the opponent’s tag team partners out of the match for the moment. With the referee distracted trying to restore order, an undetected Nikolai uses his cattle prod to smash the opponent in the head and and go for the pin.
Note: Because the opponent’s tag team partners are temporarily incapacitated during SURVIVAL INSTINCTS, no pin saves can be attempted when this move is rolled.
COTG Prime 2020 Q3
Johnny Rocket gets a new Kronos playing card plus more.
JOHNNY ROCKET
