Mortal Kombat Character Concept

Ryukeshen Seir – Aristata

Character Description: A human of average height, he is heavily armoured. His black eyes seem to be an abyss of pure evil. Ryukeshen is transcendent in the martial art of Tekura, a hybrid of Chinese Kung Fu, Japanese Ninjistu, and Tae Kwon Do. He is also an expert in the dark arts of necromancy, and can use rapiers, being proficient in Chivalry, a knight’s art of sword control. Ryukeshen is essentially a deathknight and wears full plate armour. Some might think that he cannot move as quickly while using his martial arts skills, but he can swap armour with a snap of his fingers. In his knight form, there isn’t even any way to see his skin or his face, but when he swaps his armour to leather armour, you can see that he has normal colored skin and is quite muscle bound. As he flexes, the muscles over his chest and back ripples and tenses. The hair on his head is spiked up and is extremely black. His full plate armour seems to be created by himself in a hellforge, for it is pitch black and seems almost impervious to regular attacks.

Character Story: Ryukeshen is from another realm, one that likes to be unknown to the people of Outworld, Edenia, Earth, and the Netherrealm. He himself created a portal to the Outworld when he found out about a war between good and evil, and the resurrection of the Dragon King. Although he will not take orders, he will always serve the entity of evil itself. Ryukeshen figures that because of this huge battle, he is bound to face some opponents that will be befitting to his style of fighting and his complete and total dominance of his realm in terms of fighting. Ryukeshen is extremely manipulative and is planning to serve the Dragon King for now and then backstab him later.

Character Ending: Defeating all of the Earthrealm warriors, and eventually turning his back on the side of Evil, Ryukeshen destroys all of the main warriors of both of the realms. Scorpion and Noob Saibot are banished back to the Netherrealm, and Ryukeshen pays a visit to make sure they never get in his way again. He holds all of the head figures of the realms in a hidden cell within a castle he constructed after he came to the Outworld and there his enemies met their demise. The Dragon King is once again slain and since there are no more dragon eggs, it is forever gone. Ryukeshen stretches his dominance over 3 realms and is greedy with power. He plans to challenge more realms as soon as he finds a way to open portals. Ryukeshen is still looking for a perfect opponent, but while he is looking he will continue to exert his power over all the realms.

Character Special Moves:

Shrivel- Exerting his powers in Necromancy, he can shrivel one limb of the opponent for a while; opening them up to any attack for 2 seconds. This move can only be done up close.

Soul Spear- Extracting more power from Necromancy, he sucks a portion of the soul of his opponent, forms it into a spear and throws it at the mind of the opponent. This move can be done from anywhere, but it takes a long time and is easily blocked. If it hits, it does a lot of damage.

Backbreaker- A throw that can only be performed when the opponent is on the ground; it takes off half the health of the opponent. This move is extremely hard to connect and can only be performed after a specific combo, or after shriveled and on the ground.

Guard- A reversal technique that can only be used by a person very proficient in the art of Tekura. If a person hits Ryukeshen when he performs the move, they are stunned for 2 seconds and can be hit with any combo or move, save backbreaker.

Double Slash- Using both his rapiers, he slashes both high and low, causing this move to be unblockable. The downside to this move is that although it’s fast, it causes only a little bit of damage.

Character Fatalities:

Vivisection: Using his arts in Necromancy, he touches the opponent on the chest and rips them from the neck down to the bottom of the belly. Ryukeshen then opens them up exposing the internal organs, while the opponent is still alive. He then performs multiple experiments with the organs and eventually rips them completely out of the body, except for the heart to keep them alive for a bit longer. Then he rips out the spine and stabs them in the face, then stabs the spine into the ground behind them, making them bend backwards into the ground. The heart is then finally ripped out of the body and dropped to the ground. Ryukeshen kicks the heart away and scribbles something on a sheet of paper and pins it onto the spine. It says, “This is an example of those who mess with me. – Ryukeshen.”

Behead: Ryukeshen whirls one of his rapiers in the air and smiles at his dazed opponent. Then he leans towards them with his rapier still whirling. The neck of the opponent is exposed, but not yet cut. Then, with a lunge, the head is decapitated from the body and the opponent looks up at his/her body, a fountain of blood pouring out from the base of the neck. With a last glimpse of his/her body, his/her vision blackens.

Deliverance: Deep in meditation, Ryukeshen’s eyes are closed. A while later, they open, and are radiating white with pure energy. Ryukeshen arcs his arms towards the opponent and two white energy blades are formed out of the hands. The energy blades hit the opponent and he/she explodes in a white flame. Of course the opponent isn’t dead, as they see Ryukeshen’s form walking towards them and they catch a final glimpse of the death knight stepping and crushing his/her face.

Stage: Ryukeshen’s Castle Dungeon (Includes interactivity, deathtrap, stage fatality)
Ryukeshen built his castle after he made his trip to Outworld because he had nowhere to live while he is in search of his opponents. This dungeon is home to some of the demonic creatures of the realm that Ryukeshen lives in and they are known to enjoy the slaughter of humans. They are, however, also known to enjoy honourable duels, so they do not interfere, but if the opponents are knocked into the crowd of demonic creatures, their bloodthirsty appetite get the better of them. There are various torture devices around and caltrops littered about the floor. When someone steps on a caltrop, the metal part sticking up causes them to retract their foot and be stunned for 1 second. This causes no damage, but opens up for a combo. The stage fatality in this stage is based on the various torture devices. Each time the stage fatality is performed, a different torture device is used. Classics such as the stretcher and wheel of torture are implemented for a vicious and painfully slow death.


Muahahahaha...not a lot to do with MK, but pssh...whatever :P
