The Darkspade is my first ever e-Fed character made up in 1998. I have made so many characters I have lost count. The Darkspade was built for my own personal e-Fed: CreatureWrestling. To help understand this character is to first understand the historic overview of the universe of CreatureWrestling... which is still ongoing today and its chapters written. You may read an "overview" of a lot of things covered here: CW HISTORY
(OOC: Darkspade was originally built at my other eFed as a "Supernatural" wrestler- a literal vampire. For the sake of SHOOT, Darkspade has transversed seemingly from a multi-verse rift when he first arrived. There is a strong hint of his powers of the Unholy Darkness but it is unclear that this is moreso a gimmick, parlor tricks, or the real thing).
The promos that are seen are intended to be different; they hint at his mental state, cryptic real-life videos, and the way they are presented reflects his obsession with taking "souls" (perhaps as fuel for something?)
Darkspade's true name is Spade Deathen (he changed his last name from "of Death" for his distain for his family). In CreatureWrestling he is the Guardian of Balance... long long long story... if you REALLY want to read a 'summary' of everything then look here: https://creaturewrestling.com/history/

Darkspade is one of the original pillars that made Creature Wrestling infamous! He has held the top titles and amassed an impressive career. Darkspade not only rises to any challenge, but he provokes them. He tends to intimidate his opponents before the bell rings with his elaborate entrances. His entrance video typically features his past, including the death of his wife, Julie, her locket, and the contrasting actions of Charon #2, who interferes, along with an inference that the Dark Sincentius lured Julie into the woods to kill her (although it was Darkspade, with Sincentius controlling his mind). The other half of the video elaborates on Darkspade's twisted mind and lust for destroying his opponents with the phrases "I am the darkest hour, it strikes three," which also implies that at the count of three in the ring, his opponent is defeated. Darkspade is a supernatural "CreatureWrestler," also known as an energy vampire, which feeds on fear. Darkspade belongs to one of the oldest vampire families: The Death Family. Darkspade has/had two other biological siblings: Damien Death and Serin Death (who died). Eddie was an adopted brother who later assisted Mortismere in killing Serin. Eddie later grew up to become Red Spyder.
Darkspade, who originally was called "Spade Death," was eventually abducted by Mortismere and trained in the Unholy Dark Arts- this acceptance of the Unholy Darkness is what separated Spade into three forms: Darkspade (the body), Unholy Knight of Darkness (spirit), and Darkgeist (a ghostly apparition of himself, the soul).
Darkspade was possessed by an entity called, "The Dark Sincentius" an entity which embedded itself into the Death Family DNA for eons as an ancient compromise with the first Charon Death- and was to emerge once the Death Family prophecy was to take place (At the last stroke of midnight- two twins will emerge with immense powers). Initially, The Dark Sincentius thought Spade and Damien were twins, and thus Sincentius attempted to take over Spade's mind, ultimately causing Spade to kill his wife, Julie.
Physical Appearance Descriptor:
Darkspade appears to be in his late 30s (but, in actuality, he is over a hundred years old), caucasian. Medium build and intensely powerful. His hair is a dark silvery shade (this is due to his being ripped apart and thus any saturated hue is eliminated). Darkspade has a tattoo of a "spade" on his upper back. It depicts a scene where flocks of deathly birds collapse into the "spade" symbol, which contains a hint of a skull in the center.
His manner is very confident, cold, calculated, and mysterious. When necessary, he can explode and overwhelm his opponent physically- he tends not to care what happens to his body when inflicting or receiving damage. On the mic: The Darkspade chooses his words carefully and tends to speak in terms of morbid thoughts and destroying his opponents. Darkspade is obsessed with obtaining the top title of any organization.
Although that said, Darkspade is a face and a heel, and is respected by his peers. In the past, Darkspade commanded a faction that nearly took over the CreatureWrestling Federation until DX prevented it, but then, Darkspade was controlled by Mortismere (a higher power). There are numerous parallels with Darkspade's fascination with The Undertaker, but Darkspade's agenda is typically ensuring that there is controlled chaos in and out of the ring.
Darkspade willingly accepted the Unholy Darkness which inevitably caused him to be separated into 3 parts. The part which interacts with the living and in the ring is the Body of Spade Deathen: Darkspade. The part is regarded as the consciousness of Spade Deathen- however, the absence of his soul and spirit causes Darkspade to grow insane at times and unpredictable.
For creature wrestling fights: Darkspade is well known for his unmatched ability to use psychological attacks typically starting from even his ring entrance! Often the entire arena is attacked by the presence of The Unholy Darkness which is at Spade's command. Darkspade is obsessed with his motto: The Darkest Hour Strikes Three... symbolizing that the end is near for his opponent and there is no escape from their untimely demise.
Even though Darkspade is considered a medium-sized wrestler at 6' 5"- his greatest ability is using his own body as a deadly device of destruction. Spade simply will use everything in his arsenal to hurt and destroy his opponent--- even using his own body to do it! So, Spade's style is very hardcore, very brutal and surprisingly very technical. A mixture of high flying and orthodox power moves completes the picture of Spade's style.
Another unique trait to Spade is his ability of longevity in the ring. Because of his separation, Spade has a very high threshold for pain. Even if Spade is pummeled to death, if giving enough time to recover- Spade can develop a second wind and come at his opponent with a vicious streak. 
Weaknesses: Spade's body can only sustain so much punishment before slowing down. Many wrestlers can knock Spade down- but they need to keep attacking him and not allow him to recover. Another determining factor is that Darkspade is not the perfect high flier- he is a hardcore ring tactician. Spade has a weakness for high flying moves and moves which high velocities. Surprisingly, Spade can survive many powerhouse moves but not too many in session.
Ring Attire:
Outside of the ring and walking down to it, Darkspade sports a dark ceremonial cape reminiscent of his days as the leader of The Unholy Ministry. His cape typically features an embroidered 'spade' symbol etched into the fabric, which can be made of leather. In the ring, Darkspade sheds any subsequent attire and sports a black leather top featuring the spade symbol, which is sometimes prominently displayed, either dead center or in the back. Darkspade would have worn contrastingly dark grey or blood red tights and blended boots, featuring either the spade symbol or a symbol of the Unholy Ministry.
Darkspade's entrance begins with the lights abruptly cutting off, allowing the "eternal darkness" to overtake the arena, followed by a cold, dead aura permeating the atmosphere. The Tron is a depiction of past events that have plagued Darkspade many, many years ago. It starts by presenting his dead wife Julie and scenes of remorse and infers a steep decline in his mental state... The music is interchanging with "I Will Not Bow" as its first (or second) verse. The other theme music is Megadeth's "In My Darkest Hour," and in some variations, an eerie song from "Iridium." This kaleidoscope of alternating music represents his fragmented state of being - always in conflict with one another, yet harmonious in that it alludes to his erosion.
The entrance theme also has his voice reiterating several crpytic sayings such as "Bow down and pray...", "I am the taker of hope, the bringer of knightmares, I am the darkest hour", "the darkest hour it strikes three" and "There are those that call themselves creatures of the night, I however, embrase the darkness in a completely different light" (what refers to the creatures of the night back in the mid-1990s when the Undertaker used to refer to his fans as "Creatures of the Night"- since Darkspade is a COTN, but one which has treded a path of constant conflict of his moral values and viewpoints and even distain for other COTN- he believes he approaches the "darkness" differently in that he has embrased the Unholy Darkness- a cult, a power, that he obtained by accepting the teachers of his master Lord Mortisemere.
A modified pile driver where the opponent is lifted upside down and dangling from Spade's right shoulder. The opponent's arms are crossed on their chest- Spade typically runs and/or drops his legs outward causing his own weight to drill his opponent's back of the spine into the canvas causing instant paralysis.
A devastating snap spear in which he lunges forward at the very last minute before impacting his opponent- mainly aimed at their chest.
A chickenwing DDT which delivers a sharp, sudden blow to the forehead and back of his opponents.
A high-flying, high-impact leap from the top rope, often to the outside of the ring, wherein he starts the move by performing the 'spade formation' with his hands.
Darkspade loves to use an inverse suplex leading to his Finisher or a setup to his Gothicrusher.
Ace of Spades: A variation of the death-lock. Spade will lock his opponent's legs while they are on the canvas and face down. Bridging over- Spade will complete the move with a chicken-wing lock across his opponent's neck and arm.
"The Evil Intensity" (Ramped up hypertension leading to succession of moves without hesitation and ending in a Gothicrusher or Breaker)
Unholy-Elbow drop (calculated tip of elbow)
