This year, I thought I'd bring the Youngbloods back. I'm going to have them sync up as a tag team again, so expect no more shawn hawk, and an older shawn youngblood design scheme, using white instead of gold, alongside blue and black. When making up their backstories, what they've been going through since they last appeared anywhere (very early svr07), I've decided that the brothers are "going gothic!"
Jason Youngblood
After campaigning at the end of TNB for Christian MoneyMaker to bring a more hardcore environment into play, Jason Youngblood breifly showed up in XWA, NEW, Project X, and not finding competition that was 'extreme enough' in his opinion, he stepped away from the sport. Find ing himself bored and lacking competition, he has decided to re-enter the wrestling ring in search for other weapons experts.
Shawn Youngblood
The former movie-star has finally walked away from the glitz and the glamor. Or rather he has seen his star power fade, and has become bitter and jaded with the whole entire film industry. He turns to the other most prevailent past time in his life, wrestling, to fill the void. Knowing Jason wanted hardcore competition, Shawn manipulated his little brother, and together they're set to return to XWA... both with a darker attitude.
Elijah Aries
My old SVR08 PS2 design scheme for him was gold/black on white; whilst my two Xbox360 designs were a white/black on gold colour-swap, and a new version which never got shown publically, and was left on the cutting room floor. With the release of SVR09 I've been looking at my CAWs from SVR06-08 seeing which ones I wanted to keep, and which designed I liked the best. Elijah will have his SVR08 'left on the cutting room floor' attire for SVR09. Unfortunately, as with a lot of my recent creations, Elijah doesn't have much of an efed bio or character background, he's just 'a body with moves' that I created for my own personal roster. I hope to be able to flesh him out to become a fully functional character, and I've started with the moves and appearance. It might not appear to be anything at first, meaning I might still need to touch it up some more, but his arm tattoo is meant to be a black sleeve, showing skin in the shape of a cross in the middle of it.
Toxic
Due to the mask/mask designs/facepaints being either different sizes, or positioned slightly differently on SVR09 than they were on SVR08, I had to tweak the mask design. However, with some minor tweaking I managed to get a good-looking Toxic mask going on. Things continued on reletively fine with his upper body attire, but it all fell apart on the bottom half. I couldn't get the kneepads over the leg paint, and even though they were the same leg paint pieces, something looked different to his SVR08 tights (perhaps they were positioned differently like the facepaint and mask designs seemed to be). Sooo... I've gone with a new look for the tights, and an updated mask. You can just about see the new tights in the poison mist screenshot. For some reason I kind-of get a 'Reptile from Mortal Kombat' vibe from him, from one of the middle ones where he's practically a full lizard (MK4 was it?). Although I think that's probably because of the green Iused in his design, due to his name being Toxic.

I have seen people's replys/pm's/comments requesting formulas (elsewhere), and I have good and bad news.
The good news is that I have most of the intricate stuff like tatts and leg paints already typed up, from when I transfered the CAWs from 08 to 09. It shouldn't be very hard to knock up the other parts of the formula, especially since I rarely touch the face/body morphing (most CAWs have the default Xbox360 face and bodies).
The bad news is that since my university is full of sadistic teachers, I have classwork to do in my lessons, and coursework to do in my free time, one of which has to be handed in 31st Nov, the other mid-Dec. So there'll be no formulas until after the 31st at least.
I like SVR09, I don't miss C-A-Belt as much as I thought I would; C-A-Finisher and the [real] 3D CAW parts make up for it being gone - doesn't make it right for them to remove it!. The problem is that I'm actually getting REALLY sick of playing as and looking at my own CAWs as I take them through Career Mode to get them their abilities. I can see this becoming a major problem for me soon...
