Face and Heel: What are you and why?

Post » Sat Jan 11, 2014 7:04 pm

In the wrestling world, there exist two terms: Face, and Heel. When simplified, these terms mean Protagonist and Antagonist, Face being the first and Heel the latter. Faces are supposed to be the person most people route for and look up to, as they are the heroes, the upholders of what is right and established. Meanwhile, Heels are often the people that get booed and resented. Some heels are hated simply because they are boring, shallow personalities whoms only job is to be a jerk. Other heels are loved for being so controversial and unafraid to voice their opinions, and the ones truly sincere and passionate become more of a Hero in the eyes of the crowd than the Face is.

So evaluate yourself throughout the year of 2013. Were you a Face, or Heel? The protagonist, or villain?

Anyone that was watching my post 2013 will likely know that I was going for Heel status that year. I was "rude," and very honest in all my input. Whenever a post came up with the name "Blackhand" in it, it was my intention for people to say "Oh, this will be fun to read." Meanwhile, in the real world, I was going through my final semester of High School, and oh boy was I mean. Someone said something stupid, I made them feel like it. If one of those two-faced people that you know talks about you behind your back tried to smile at me, I'd wipe that stupid smirk off their face in seconds.

The funny thing is, never before had people wanted my attention more than when I intentionally treated them like the dirt they would act like. Before, when I tried to be Mr.Nice Guy and fit in with everyone, I found myself uncomfortable and still left out. The moment I decided to be a villain, I became two things: Relevant, and Respected.

But that was High School. Here I am now, finished with it, unemployed, and looking at potentially being homeless in a month. Being a bad guy was fun in an environment where despicable people thrived, and I'm sure I could continue the streak if I wanted to. But being a villain and being a kiss ass in retail is something that doesn't go hand in hand, and I do believe I am approaching a neccesary Face Turn. It's about time for one, considering I have been playing the bad guy for nearly two years.



So there's my story. What about you? Are you a Face, or Heel? Maybe some weird combination? (Hi Tallest.) Or maybe you're niether, but just a commentator or member of the audience? Tell us about who you were last year, and tell us who you're considering being this year.

Guess I'd be considered a Heel by many on these forums. But in real life I'm in between. I try to nice but when I get aggravated or annoyed all my filters come off. In all honestly though, I don't really give a crap how I'm perceived. I'm me and if you don't like me oh, well.

I'm half-way between the 2. Maybe a navel?

I usually try to stay out of sight, so I guess I'm a bottom.

Personally I don't assume I'm playing a role as a good or bad person. I don't really consider an overall annual picture how other people perceive me, I just do whatever seems the best course of action at the time.

Maybe I'll aim for neutral, and the best people will be able to say is that I exist and have been known to carry out activity. :hehe:

What, like the TV series? :blink:

I'm the observer on the side that notices everything but I don't get noticed myself. In short: the spectator.

Don't care. If you do end up homeless, I might have a place you can sleep in for a couple days though. At least while I am on Oahu. Jan-mid-late May.

I love being a heel in forums and would surely be a hilarious heel if I was a wrestler. However, I'm sick of getting warned and banned off forums, like seriously, I've been banned so so many times off various forums. Mods really seem to struggle with the heel concept and the value of a heel, so yeah been trying my hand at babyface lately.

I guess I'd be the annoying guy that insists that the Face and Heel don't actually exist because the real world isn't that black-and-white.

So....the Heel.

Faces are liked, Heels are respected by some. Neither would ever apply to me, so I think the closest thing to describe myself in 2013 is "[censored] Blemished Ass-Wipe".
