I now this maybe folly seeing as the the second tournament hasn't even finished yet, but I'm left with a question. I have already entered ny first character in the next tournament, but if it requires more characters (doubtful as it is), which one of these should I enter next.?
This is a new character that I have created which hails from the same realm as slim3ddi3g's Keilienaten. He's not done yet and I'm only posting him up to get some thoughts on if I should continue or not.
Name: Kamon
Age: Unknown (Rumored to be a couple of years older then Keilienaten)
Eye Color: Glow with sapphire blue flames
Height: 6’4
Weight: 234 pounds
Alignment: Neutral (Serves Anubis)
Hair: Black goes down past shoulders.
Skin tone: Copper, (Greyish blue in his true form)
Disciplines: Egyptian Martial Arts, Judo, Jujitsu, Pyramid Staff.
Place of Origin: Realm of Rahankutat.
Current where-about: Hamunaptra (City of the Dead)
Power: Can control the Plagues as well as a hidden power unknown to all but Anubis and himself.
Status: Undead General in Anubis' army.
Quote: "Like the Plagues, my wrath is unstoppable."
Weapon Description: The Pyramid Staff is an other worldly weapon. It is given to a general in Anubis' army and can only be used properly by a warrior with exceptional skill. The staff is made of an unknown metal. However, its eerie glow in the night sky resembles the light of a dying soul, glowing with a brilliant sapphire blue. On each end there are three blades, which come to a point, resembling a pyramid on both sides of the staff. They also glow a brilliant blue. The staff itself has a golden luster and has a intertwined serpent stretching the length of the weapon. There is a slit down the middle of the weapon which allows it to be separated with an ethereal chain and used as a flail type weapon. It must be noted that with this transformation, Kamon's reach infinitely increases as the chain isn't made of solid material.
Design
1st outfit: Desert Ninja
Kamon's whole head is wrapped in a turban to keep his identity secret from those around him, allowing him to move freely through the masses. The turbine covers his mouth, nose and head leaving only the eyes open. He wears a white vest with no sleeves and is opened in the front. The vest is kept on by a blood red sash that's wrapped around his waist. He also wears white pants which look much like the Prince of Persia's pants. They are tucked into black boots which have golden shin guards. He wears white arm guards which have curved blades coming from the middle of the fist and extend six inches past the fists. The blades are dual edged for easy inward slashes as well as outward strikes. This whole outfit renders Kamon virtually invisible in the desert sun.
2nd Outfit: Undead General
Kaman’s true form. He wears a jackal headdress in honor of his god. It's cobalt black with sapphire blue eyes. (Think Anubis from Stargate the Movie). He still retains his wrist blades, as well as his arm guards. He now wears a robe around his waist which has shorts underneath. He wears an upper bracer on his left arm in the shape of a cobra. He wears two golden gauntlets. However, these aren't in one piece. The wrist piece which holds the gauntlet together has five small apendages which go down the knuckles and are connected to five slots which is where the fingers go. The guantlets basicaly outline the bones on the back side of the hand. The tips of these gauntlets have diamond etched claws which makes them suited for a very effective close range weapon. Kamon's headdress is opened, revealing his face when he's not in battle, however when he sinks into his stance, the helmet closes and he sees through the sapphire eyes of the Anubis helmet. His boots are made of an unbrakeable steel, said to be used for the weapons of Anubis' army.
Moves: Serpent's Bite: Kamon sperates his whip and turns it into its flail form. He then shoots one end of the staff at the opponent. The blades at the end open up as the head of the staff gets close. When it makes contact the blades snap shut around the opponent's chest causing massive damage and heavey blood loss as Kamon pulls back to retract the chain.
Demonic Sling: This move uses the flail function of the staff to catch an opponent's projectile in between the blades and then shoot it back at them with twice the power and twice the speed.
Clawed Frenzey: Kamon locks his helmet and his eyes flare up. His body glows an undead sapphire blue flame as he rushes the opponent with his hand blades burning blue and unleashes on them a swift ten hit slash combo.
Savage Assualt: Kamon unleashes a series of strikes with his hand claws. However, they stay right infront of him until twenty slashes are suspended in mid-air, right in front of Kamon. He then lifts his hand and points to the opponet. The suspended slashes suddenly shoot out with blazing speed cutting and lacerating the opponet on the pass by.
Wave:(An update to Jax's Multi Slam) Kamon shoots one end of his staff into the opponet. The blades dig in, just like in Serpent's Bite. However, instead of letting go, Kamon starts to toss the opponet around the stage multipile times while holding on to the other end of the staff.
Undead Wind:Kamon charges a ball of spectral energy in his cupped hands. He then releases it in a blast of ethereal wind, filled with the hungry souls of the Undead. If this move makes contact, after the initial blast, the left over souls latch on to the opponent slowly draining his health.
Flaming River:Kamon powers up his hand and shoots it into the ground, unleashing the river Styks into this demension. The river burns like fire as it courses through the stage and at the opponent, surounding them and then igniting them from the feet up.
Strength of the gods:Kamon channels the power of his master into his body. This boost of power will increase his attacks exponentially as well as repelensish his some of his life.
Skeletal Cyclone: Kamon surrounds his opponet in a violent cyclone. The cyclone then rips the skeletal remaints of dead warriors from the ground and fuses it into itself. The bone shards become deadly projectlies as they shoot at the opponent inside.
Fatalities:
Scarab Eruption: Kamon shoots his staff into the ground unleashing a shock wave. Seconds later the ground splits open and a sea of flesh eating Scarabs shoots out of the cracks. The scarabs spot their prey, being the opponent and rush towards him. The opponet tries to flee, but it's too late. The scarabs overrun him and dig into the flesh. You can see the scarabs running around underneath his skin. The opponet screams in agony as blood drips out of his pores. Scarabs start pouring out og his mouth and on to the surface of his body. Soon the opponent is coverd in scarabs and then you hear a sickening crunch. The scarbs retreat, only leaving a hallowed out corpse, filled with holes and only parts of their bones.
Final Dawn: Kamon uses his power to cast the final plauge. He eclipses the sky. The fading light focuses on the opponet as the shadow envelopes everything. As soon as the shadow touches the opponet, he is instantly engulfed in flames. His skin melts, his organs rupture, his muscles burn. He bleeds uncontrolabley. The sky turns black and a cinder grey as the clouds are set on fire. A meteor storm starts and on of the meteors comes down on the victim. On impact the remaints of the opponents disintegrate in a cloud of blood and fire. As a visual flare, just to show the sope of this, the camera pulls back out of the areana showing the undead army of Anubis, numbered in the billions swarming the surrounding landscape, all summound by Kamon.
Story:
As a young boy, Kamon belonged to a well off family, which served under the pharoah Akhenaten. His father was a high priest and grand counceler to the paroah. As a young child, Kamon was a free spirit. He always ran off on adventures and caused mischief. But the kind hearted pharoah would only dismiss this as childs play. As Kamon grew older, he became intreseted in the art of combat. He wished to join the pharoah's mighty army. His natural ability to fight made him one of the top candidates for the position of General in the pharoahs army. His prefered styles were anything with short strong strikes and take downs. He learned the anatomy of the human body and therefore increased his knowledge of combat by studying the affects of pressure points and critical hits in important zones on the human body. His prefered weapon was the bladed staff. It's long reach and twin blades on both sides, made it ideal for long range and short range combat. As the years went on, Kamon's training increased as well as his skills. At the young age of 200 he became General in the pharoah's army. He lead them to countless victories against a rival empire. Kamon had a good heart, and instead of finishing off his opponents, he recruited them into his army, and made took rival empires under one rule. The pharoah's kind heart and Kamon's military expertiese allowed the empire to flurish, eventually encompassing the entire realm. However, their were still pockets of terrorists who threatened to break the ties of the empire and throw it into chaos. Among these terrorists, was the former general of Akhenaten's army, Sekhmet. He always held an ever deepening hatred for the pharoah's new general after being bested in combat, and loosing his right eye, to Kamon. His ties to the underground terrorists called, The Eyes of Ra. They were called so, because before a new member could be sworn in to the faction, he had to gouge out one of his eyes and replace it with a golden one, modeled after the Eye of Ra. Sekhmet developed a plan to get rid of Kamon and establish his rightful place at Akhenaten's side. In the fallowing weeks, their have been a number of strange disappearnces in the capital city. The officals believed that the Eyes of Ra terrorist faction was gathering hostages, for an upcoming ransom demand. Knowing that the pharoah would not want any harm to fall on his subjects, it made him an easey target. The officials reported to Kamon, telling him that they have uncovered the location of the hostages. It was at Scorpion's Gorge at the Desert's Bones, a rocky wasteland devoid of all life. Kamon lead a small task force to retrive the hostages. As his forces got closer, they were ambushed by a guerilla attack. Kamon was the only one who survived. Filled with anger at the death of his comrades, Kamon rushed towards the location. As he got their he witnessed a horryfic sight. The so called hostages where skinned and put on pikes as markers of the terrorist factions. The fouls smell of death filled the gorge as rotting flesh decomposed in the heat of the sun. Within minutes the Eyes of Ra jumped out of numerous outcroppings in the gorge, surrounding Kamon. Against all odds, Kamon, fueled with rage abondoned all honor and dignety and slaughtered the terroist factions. The caves of the gorge ran red with the blood of his enemies. He, did not come out unscathed however. His injuries severe, he knew he wouldn't be able to return. As Kamon wandered through the gorge, his life coming to an end he said his final prayer."Ne reku, no ham ne kewam ishtan amshare. Ti setzu ki kon aruer, no remier de rue karistar." "As I pass through the valley of darkness, I'm not afraid. And with my dying breath I am at peace." Kamon collapses and dies in the gorge. However, as his spirit passes into the next world, he is met by the death god Anubis himself. Anubis tells him, that Kamon's life was cut short. His valor has no meaning, he was decived and therefore threw his life away by surrendering to hatred. Anubis tells Kamon that he has a strong spirit and great potential. If Kamon agrees to a pact, he will be returned to the world of the living, to avange his death, and possibley save the lives of many others. In exchange, he turns over his soul to Anubis and becomes his general. Kamon agrees to the pact and is instantly returned to his body. He feels a new sense of purpose, and a new power growing inside. Anubis tells him that he has been bestowed with tremendous power. He can tear apart the heavens and bring forth the Wave of Drakness, Anubis' army. In exchange, he gives up almost all of his free will to Anubis after his revenge is complete, and honor restored. Kamon returns to his beloved city in disguise. He finds out that Sekhmet has once again become general. As he searches for his traitor he runs into the young princess Kielienaten, who doesn't recognise Kamon at all. Kamon's new gift lets him see a darkness growing inside of her but says nothing. Kamon finally corner's Sekhmet in his chamber. Before Sekhmet can react to his ressurected rival his blood is spilled on the walls, and entrails littered all over the room. As his opponent dies, Kamon can feel his free will being torn from his body. He is now the bringer of death, and weilder of plagues under the command of Anubis. His orders are simple, increase the army of Anubis, and crush all who stand before him. In the upcoming years Kamon would lay siege to what he helped build, as Anubis' army swept the realm. the pharoah and the queen are dead, and the empire has all but fallen into chaos. Keilienaten rules mercylessly, and the ranks of the Undead increase. Soon they will be unleashed like a plague on all the realms, ending the existance of the second race of humanity, just like they did eons ago, with Kamon leading the charge, from his own throne at the city of Hamunaptra a dark time will fall to the human race.
Kim Shao was a character I created a while back, shortly after Hatsuma. I decided to rework him into a new concept.
Name: Kim Shao

Special Ability: Chi exertion
P.o.O.: Thailand, now roaming the deserts of Outworld.
Quote" To master an art, everything else is meaningless."
Look: Kim Shao follows the tradition of his heritage, and wears the standard shaolin uniform, only crafted to his liking. He wears a dark blue sash which drapes over his left side and slightly down his arm. Hw wears black pants which tuck into his steel shin gaurds. He wears white socks and sandals, as well as arm gaurds. His right side has a tribal tattoo covering his entire right side up to his neck and stoping before the forearm. He has nine dots, aranged in three rows on his head indicating that he is of the highest calibur of warrior in the Shaolin community.
Moves:
Shaolin Fist: Kim Shao energies his fist with dark chi and unleashes it in the form of a violent ball of energy at his opponent.
Thundering Palm: Kim Shao lines his plams with his spirit energy and delivers a three hit combo to the stomach, ribs, and spine of the opponent, causing hem to roll in the other direction.
Awakened Power: Kim surges chi energy into all parts of his body, causing him to glow in a dark aura for a short time. By doing so, his physical, as well as energy attacks become greatly increased. The sacrifice, is that ever strike drains some life. This move taps into the persons spirit, there by draining it every time it's used.
Wind Walker: Kim channels his chi into his legs, giving him an incrdible boost of speed, to fast for the naked eye. While in this state, Kim moves faster then sound. The only trace he leaves is a gust of wind and faint shadows were he was. By pressing an attack button the move also changes to Howling Wind.
Howling Wind: While using Wind Walker, Kim can preform a series of augmented strikes at his opponent in rapid sucession, each being indicated by a blinding flash on the opponents body caused by the release of chi powered strikes. The move happens with the span of several seconds with the opponet being tossed around like a rag doll.
Rising Whirlind: A four kick combo which starts out with a pop-up sweep and then goes into a series of three rising flip kicks.
Dragon Stomach Breaker: Kim take the opponent and tosses him into the air. He jumps after them and kicks them back towards the ground where he waits. He raises his foot straight up into the air, and the opponent falls right on top of it.
Fatality:
Stone Crusher Stomp:
Kim runs up his opponents legs, then chest and then leaps twenty feet into the air. He does a couple of front flips charging up his feet with his dark chi energy. He then comes down directly on the opponents head, driving it down between the shoulders and into their abdomen. The pressure is so great, that anything, and everything inside, shoots out the front of the opponents chest, leaving the head to fall into the open mid section. The initial force also causes the persons body to split vertically in half.
Death Touch:
To start off the fatality, Kim shoots his two blades into the opponents thighs, stapling them in place. He then charges his palm up with energy and walks up to the opponent. He then carefully looks them over and then touches their right arm. We are shown the persons own chi energy building up in the same place. The persons arm beggins to swell and pulse. Suddenly, the opponet's arm explodes. The opponent starts screaming in pain. Kim then looks them over again coldly. He then touches their other arm and again it explodes. The person is now a fountain of blood. He finally touches their chest and we see a type of x-ray with all the energy building up into their heart. Kim then steps back and walks away, we see an over the shoulder shot of the opponents center starting to swell up and pulsate and then being blown away, leaving a hole in the middle, where their heart, lungs, and ribs were with blood spewing out in gallons. Kim then retracts his blades an the corpse falls to the ground, shooting blood out in short, but violent bursts like a fountain.
Hara-Kiri:
Kim Shao takes his twin straight swords and throws them into the distance. He then uses Wind Walker to run past them and stop infront of them, inches before impact. The blades lodge themselves into his body, one in the head, the other in the chest.
Story:
Kim Shao grew up in a small fishing village in Thailand. At the age of 13, his village was showered by a Napalm Strike from the a strange group of mechanical soldiers, led by a warrior clad in red and black armor under the suspicion that they were harboring guerilla troops. Everybody in the village was killed, either by the strike or shortly after by a clean up crew who was sent in to search the area. The river ran red with the blood of Kim's family, friends, and elders. Kim was the only one who escaped the clearing by fleeing into the jungle. He hid their for several days, avoiding the ongoing search parties. Shortly afterwards he was found by a couple of monks. It seemed that he had stumbled onto a shaolin society, living in isolation from the everyday world, very rarely having contact with the outside. The monks heard his tale and felt sympathy for the young survivor and took him in. In the coming years Kim learned the ways of Shaolin. He learned discipline, balance and inner peace. The temple became a second family for him and for a time he was happy. However, soon after that, he started to have a reacuring nightmare. He kept seeing visions of his old village, and the Napalm strike. He kept hearing the voices of little children and adults alike, screaming in pain as their flesh was scortched from their bone by the napalm. He saw how the survivors begged for help from the clearing team for help, only to get shot in the head and get dragged into the river to cover up everything. This nightmare soon became a part of Kim. It consumed his soul and twisted his mind. He used the brutality and hatred in his training. He rose to the ranks of his mentors. Many feared his skills and questioned his sanity, they were right to do so. Kim became a walking embodiement of opressed anger. His training becam difficult, opressing his anger was not something that he could do so easily. Because of his drive however, he ascended in spirituality although, not the way he intended. his ascention gave him the gift to master his chi, but pushed him to the limit of sanity. One day during a match against a fellow monk. Kim was consumed with rage, his dark chi taking him over. Without thought and hesitation, he charged his "brother" and killed the young monk with one lethal strike through the chest. In the Shaolin tradition this was a cardinal sin. Spilling the blood of a brother in blind rage was of the highest disgrace. As he came to, he saw the broken body of his brother on the floor with a look of horror and sarrow that ate Kim alive. His hands soiled with blood Kim cast himself out of the temple. Seeking revenge on those that implanted this evil seed in his body, Kim has abandonned all honor and morale. He will kill anything, or anyone to get his revenge.

Story:
Sarakishi Tomukagi was a great samurai in the sixteenth century feudal Japan. His skills were on matched on the battle field. His disregard for death made him the perfect candidate for suicidal missions. He killed swiftley and silently, without regret and without mercy. His slices were presice to the point of inhuman. Before every mission it was said that he bathed his swords in holy fire to imbune them with mystical properties which would guide him on the battle fields. This was thought since, on late and foggy nights the only thing of his that was visible was an eerie blue glow from his twin kitetsu. He rightfuly earned the title Hitokiri Batoetsie with the list of people he killed.
On one of his missions for the Shogun however he was ambushed by the Kunai Clan a pack of renagade Shinobi who were sent by a corrupt businessman called Sekora Terakumo. He hired the Kunai clan to take out Tomukagi because he got wind that he was his next target. Terakumo was suspected of selling large quantities of Opium to small businesses. Tomukagi was well on his way to finishing the mission when he was shot through the heart with a poison arrow by one of the memmbers of the Kunai clan. As his last momments came to a close, he made a pact with the Genma lord that if he gave him one more chance at killing his target and diying with a perfect record he would sell his soul. His wish was granted. The wound in his heart, and the poison in his veins were removed. It was a rainy night, two days into his assassination and Tomukagi once again was imbuing his kitetsu in a holy flame. However, he accidently cut him self over the flame, and his tainted blood corrupted it and his kitetsu. As he grabbed the hilts of his weapons he felt a dark power surging through him. Any sense of honor and remorse was instantly stripped away. He finally apeared in front of Terakumo's door, with lighning shining and his kitetsu glowing blood red he came in with a sinister smile. Terakumo tried calling for help but Tomukagi slaughtered all of the maides, mistresses and servants in the house. The final things heard in the house were Terakumo's last screams before he was diced into pieces. With his mission completed, it was time to keep his end of the bargin, his body was then engulfed in a white flame and he was sent to the Genma Realm. The Genma Lord decided that Tomukagi would serve him better as on oni. The Ceremony of Blood was preformed. He was layed on a stone alter as lesser oni fested on his organs and drank his blood while he was still concious. The Genma King then made him drink his blood out of a goblet, which was his wife's skull. He resisted but then was force fed his blood. By swallowing it, he made a pact with the Oni Genma and he was transformed into an onimusha. A demon samurai who is sworn to serve his new Shogan, the Genma Lord.

Weight: 243 lbs
Alignment: Evil
Eye Color: Completely Black with red irises.
Hair Color: Red and black with white streaks, tied in a pony tail
Special Power: Regeneration and Chaos wielding
Place of Origin: Nahuran
Skin Tone: Slightly red, mixed with copper.
Weapon: Demonic Chain Swords- Rapture wears two arm guards which have two swords attached to them by chains. They can be swung around like a mace and have incredible reach. The swords are also segmented, and can separate like Ivy’s whip for additional reach and more possibilities in combat. The swords are said to be created in the depths of a demonic volcano in Rapture’s realm.
Signature quote: “I weep for nobody, and nobody weeps for me.”
Disciplines: Apocalypse, Chaos, Chain Swords.
Apocalypse: This style is a forgotten art in Raptures realm. It focuses on heavy blows to vital body parts as well as pressure points and grappling. Considered to be the ultimate fighting style it uses raw power, and speed to drop opponents within seconds. Its origins are unknown since the practice of this style was deemed too dangerous and was discontinued. All literature has been seized or burned almost erasing it from history. However, secret underground factions have kept it alive and only trained the most elite of its brood in this style of combat.
Chaos: A fighting style which balances acrobatics with speed and power. It emphasizes both short and long range strikes along with dodging and countering to drive the opponent mad. It has elements of Jeet Kune Do, Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, Drunken Fist and Muay Thai Kick Boxing, as well as Wushi Kempo. If used affectively and to its full potential, this style renders the wielder untouchable and seemingly unbeatable. Its focus on all aspects in combat makes it a style to be feared, and desired to be mastered.
Chain Swords: These weapons serve to cover all distance in combat, from close, to medium, to far. The swords are attached to a person’s wrist with chains. This covers the swords ability to be used in close and mid-range combat. At close range the swords are long enough to keep some distance from the wielder and his opponent, yet light and maneuverable enough that it makes taking somebody’s safety zone fighting in close range, to the point of within inches possible. The chains which are attached to the handle and wrists give the swords almost a flail like quality. The can be swung around with great reach and can be used to ensnare the opponent. For its far reach, not only are the swords chained to five foot long chains, but they themselves can also extend an additional nine feet, greatly extending its reach and changing it from a sword to a bladed whip. The swords are said to devour the soul of their weilder if they are not constantly soaked in blood.
Design:
Rapture wears a red hood and scarf around his face. His mouth is covered with a metal face guard, covering his nose and mouth. His hair drapes out of his hood and across his chest. The hood completely masks his face in shadow, only showing his metal face guard and black and red eyes. He wears a black, leather, sleeveless top, only covering his torso. He also has two pieces of steel shoulder pads attached to his top. He has four straps going down each side of his torso. His arms are wrapped with red fabric, as well as his arm guards which his chain blades are attached to. He wears a belt with a strange medallion as a buckle. It’s in the shape of a demonic skull. He has two red sashes that come down from underneath the buckle and hang on his legs. They are also connected in the back, giving them a draping design. He also wears a red tunic which the two sashes are connected to. His pants are black and have belt straps going down the side and tuck into his boots. His left pant leg is covered in silver armor. His boots are also heavily armored. They have spikes jutting out the sides. He also has several spikes going down the shin as well as two more on each knee which come out of the demon skull shaped knee guards.
Special Moves:
Chaos Shock: Rapture channels pure chaos into a ball of energy and shoots it into the ground. The blast then tears up through the arena floor in giant pillars of dark energy.
Steel Inferno: Rapture charges his blades with hellfire and starts to swing them above his head. When it turns into a swirling spire of fire, he directs it at the opponent. As it surrounds the opponent in its eye, it closes in and incinerates the opponent.
Chain Grapple: The chain blades shoot into the ground and then come up underneath the opponent, entangling them. Rapture then lifts the opponent into the air and starts tossing him around the arena, slamming him into the ground, ceiling, and anything within reach.
Entwine: Rapture uses his chain sword to full extent and turns it into a razor whip. The whip entwines the opponent, constricting them. The blades dig into the flesh, as the demonic sword begins to glow and amber red and not only cuts into the opponent but also sears their flesh.
Savage Strike: A follow up move to Entwine. While the opponent is immobilized by the first chain, Rapture uses the second one to savagely lash the opponent’s body, kind of like how Ivy does in Soul Calibur II.
Chaotic Storm: Rapture extends his chain swords and powers them up with Chaos, and the swords come to life. The swords spin in an upward fashion releasing waves of energy at the opponent at blazing speed. The energy waves take the form of sickles as they shoot towards the opponent, causing great damage and heavy blood loss as they dig into his flesh.

Chains of Carnage:
Rapture channels Chaos through his chain blades, bringing them to life once again. The chains begin to roar and twitch violently. They then lunge into the ground, glowing hell fire red. After a split second they shoot back out of the ground and through the opponents’ shoulders, and through their stomach completely cutting through the flesh. They lift the opponent into the air as they struggle and scream in pain. The chains get longer and sear inside the wounds. They then reach down and wrap around the persons’ arms and then the legs. The blades extend and while one wraps around the torso, the other wraps around the neck, both in the razor whip form. With one swift motion the chain blades pull in opposite directions and shred the opponent into tiny pieces.
Armageddon’s Fist:
Rapture charges a ball of energy and then shoots it into the sky. A few seconds later, the sky literally shatters and turns blood red and ash grey. The blast comes back down like flaming rain right on to the opponent, incinerating anything it touches, the opponents’ body is covered in many tiny explosions as his body is blown apart from the head down to the feet. The whole event is a grotesque display of fireworks and flesh as the opponent is dismantled in a cloud of blood. In the end, all that’s left is a flaming crater, gore and entrails everywhere and as the move finishes a demonic face is seen in the flames. The camera pulls back revealing a meteor shower in the background.
Hara Kiri: Redemption
Rapture shoots his blades into his stomach and pushes them completely through. They extend once more and shoot through his neck, decapitating him instantly and his body falls to its knees.
Stage: Ruined citadel of Ragnarok
This temple is on a floating island in a storm filled sky. The fight starts in the central chamber. The floor has a pentagram design and the negative spaces are filled with bond fires. There are four pillars holding up the surrounding balcony, each one is a depiction of the Four Horsemen, Death, War, Famine, and Pestilence. The central chamber is a very gory place. It has bodies thrown on pikes, there’s not only blood on the walls and floor, but there are fountains which also run red with blood. Small touches like candle holders light small areas of the temple and give ambient lighting effects for some great eye candy. There are four mega weapons in this stage, each one held by one of the Horsemen. War holds a giant battle axe, Famine holds a giant rune enhanced sword. The runes actually glow when the sword is held. Pestilence has twin sickles, and Death obviously has a scythe. Each deal incredible damage, and as a cool bonus, come with their own set of powers. Also each weapon is possessed by one of the Horsemen, so if you equip the weapon, your character also becomes possessed by the Horseman. They glow a ghostly blue and the spirit of the Horseman floats above the fighter, kind of like Unknown in Tekken Tag Tournament. In the background the main wall has collapsed, revealing giant floating spires, a dark sky and an ensuing lightning storm. There is a crack near the edge of the collapsed wall. If the person is shot through it, they fall into the catacombs. The catacombs are a lot more alive than the central chamber. The catacombs serve as a doorway to Hell. It bends space and time, so the level is kind of like the Arcane Sanctuary in Diablo II. The catacombs are littered with bones, and flesh. There is a dark portal in the background where demons are constantly coming out of. There are pillars of fire constantly shooting out of the ground, and they destroy the fighting arena floor little by little. There are two stage fatalities here. On is on the top floor where you get knocked out of the main wall and fall to your death in a lightning storm. The other is in the catacombs, where you get knocked into a pit of demons that tear you to pieces.
Story
Rapture is part of an underground cult known only as Ragnarok. When he was a boy, his village was slaughtered by the cult insearch of a candidate to imbue with their power. Even at a tender age Rapture, who's original name was Remeius seemed to have potential as a great warrior, he's main attribute being his unwillingness to give up, surpassing all pain and turmoil. When his village was attacked, he was coming home from a day in the mountains. As he approached the village, the smell of smoke, and death filled his lungs. He quickly ran home only to see a massacre take place. He witnessed unspeakable carnage, his parnets, friends, and siblings were slaughtered in front of him. He remembers how his mother was lifted by her hair infront one of the cloaked men and then was impaled through her stomach, and sliced in half. As he witnessed hi mothers' body fall to the floor, he became fueled with rage. He attacked her murderer in a blind frenzy. The cloaked figure instantly took him to the ground with one punch to the stomach. Remarkabley, Remeius recovered with in seconds, ignoring the pain he continued his assault on the cloaked figure. One of the other memmbers of the cult saw how the young man's abandonement of all things good and evil gave him strength to continue. The cult had found their candidate. Remeius was taken prisoner and was submitted to the most grueling torment. He was trained to show no mercy. His mentality of honour and goodness was torn to pieces. It was replace by the simple fact that an individual is worthless and that only a whole survives. He was trained in forgotten combat. Within the cult, mercy was considered a weakness, so if you let yourself down, death was the only solution. During what seemed to be an eternity of pain and suffering, Remeuis began to cross over. He began enjoying watching others suffer. During one of his combat sessions, Remeuis was almost beaten to death by one of the cult leaders. The leader revealed himself to be the one who killed Remeuis' mother. he said it gave him pleasure looking into her innocent eyes as his sword went through her. Her face, a delightful look of anuish preserved in a scream. Remeuis flew into a rage and attacked the leader. Using what he learned in the past years, he revived the Apacolypse in an instant. He brutaly slaughtered the leader, bare handed by punching him through the throat. As the leader fell,and his blood spilled on the floor, it was in that instant that Remeius completely surrendered to the dark ways. As a sign of his victory, he took the cult memmbers' cloak, as well as his clothes as his own. By wearing that which he hated most, it fueled his dark rage. The other memmbers knew from then on that their investments were well made. As a final test, Remeius was sent to Tartaris, an active mountain volcano to complete his trail. Legend spoke of two weapons, formed from the pain, and anguish of all who were killed in the realm. The trek was long and hard. At one point, Remeius got too close to a nearby fissure as it erupted and singed his face. Although most of it was untouched, the skin on his mouth, along with his lower jaw were melted away. Unphased, Remeuis continued, and finally reached the summit. He saw the weapons that legend spoke of. They were incased in a red crystal near the bottom of the volcano. As he climbed down, he began to have second thoughts, yet he couldn't turn away, it was as if the weapons were calling out to him. By the time he finally reached the crystal, his body was already dead, yet his spirit refused to pass. He approached the crystal and in one strike, caused it to shatter. The crystal began to bleed on to his hand seeped into the wounds that he had acuired. The weapons inside came to life and thrust themsleves into his shoulders as if they refused to be tamed. The blades shattered and extended into their whip state as the "blood" from the crystal now, fully covering the inside and outside of Remeius' body incased him into a cacoon, surrounded by the chains. Shortly after, the caccoon began to pulsate, along the chains. Inside, Remeius is driven to the brink of insanity, as he swrils inside, drowning in blood. He eventually looses all strength and drowns. The blood inside the cacoon rushes into his body, and breaths a new life into him. His body surges with energy and in one violent explosion the caccoon is shattered. Remeius stands up, dripping in blood. He feels no pain and rips the rips the blades out of his shoulders. As he grabs them, they let out a type of scream. He comes closer to the crystal and reaches for the handles of the chain blades. As his hands get closer, his new and untamed aura brings them to life and the swords instantly shackle themselves to his wrists. His head is filled with millions of screams, relentless pain, unspeakable agony, to him time seemed to stand still. It felt as if the swords dug their claws into his soul. Remeius screamed in pain and fell into the nearby lava flows, seemingly ending his life once in for all. All went silent, and when all seemed over and done with, Remeius reched for the surface, completely fused with his new weapons and completely taken over by darkness. His tortutred soul, coupled with his wild aura and constant pain and insanity have truely made him into chaos incarnate. The constant hunger of his chain blades would lead him to slaughter countless just to satisfy them. Every place he went, genocide was a common sight, along with complete destruction. Infused with the power of chaos and his clan Ragnarok, Remeius would take the name Rapture, and symbolize all that comes with the END.
