Personality

Whatever he may have been at one time, Prayuth’s came to embrace the rock star lifestyle of an international movie star. Quite frankly, he’s come to think he’s invincible - he’s got the money, he’s got the talent, he’s got the drive. When he sees something he wants, he can just go and get it. Anything his money can’t handle, his fists can.

This sort of lifestyle has turned him into a very impatient, brash and cocky individual, someone that many believe is in dire need of having some humility beat into him. No one’s rushing up to take the challenge, though…

Despite his often lackadaisical nature, Pray can be a fierce fighter when angered enough, and isn’t one to be underestimated. His rage can work against him or for him - it makes him a beast to deal with, but he can be easily goaded.

History

Though you’d never know it to look at him now, Prayuth actually started off with fairly humble beginnings. Born in Thailand to a poor spinstress, Prayuth’s father was a vacationing American she hooked up with. He left Bangkok without even knowing that he’d conceived Prayuth, leaving the boy to grow up fatherless.

The first few years of Prayuth’s life were quite difficult - he was often picked on growing up, teased and taunted and beaten up by a little gang of youths that hung around the neighborhood. To help him out, Prayuth’s uncle trained him in the art of Muy Thai, and it was quickly discovered that the boy had an affinity for the style. Naturally gifted, he very quickly mastered it and went on to win championships and national acclaim.

Though Muy Thai was the love of his life,  Prayuth had always had a second passion: cinema. He was a great lover of film, so when the offer came up for a small role in a martial arts flick being filmed in the city, he jumped at the chance. While he didn’t have a noteworthy role, he did the best with the ten second fight he had in the movie, and managed to turn a few heads his way..

Prayuth had a unique look - thanks to his heritage, he has a rather unique face, one that can easily pass for just about any Asian nationality with the right makeup. With blonde hair, he even looks convincingly American, and he’d learned how to speak English and fake a decent accent. This, along with her prowess in Muy Thai and understanding of film, made him a good fit for action films. A small time studio took a gamble on him with Red Castle, a brutal action film about a cop who finds himself trapped in a apartment complex that doubles as a gang hideout and has to fight his way out.

The movie did well critically, becoming an underground hit, and Prayuth soon found himself staring in other lead roles - Red Castle 2, the Destroyer, and he played Joe Higashi in a Fatal Fury movie adaption. As time went on, Prayuth became more and more accustomed to the luxurious lifestyle, to the point where he barely visits or even thinks about his roots anymore…

Looking to pry his trade a bit more, Prayuth’s agent convinced him to try a stint out in the AFW’s Tension league, and he happily agreed, thinking that it would essentially be a vacation -  show off his skills, spread his name, while also wrestling about with hot women and making more money. Couldn’t go wrong.
