Syn Heil

Age: 27
Gender: M
Height: 6'01"
Weight: 200 lbs
Allignment: Good
Enemies: Baraka, Mileena, Dragon King, Havik
Allies: Bo Rai Cho
Place of Birth: Earth Realm

A ninja, but not like the others. This ninja utilizes his stealth capabilities, and his natural given Ninja weaponry. Syn was raised under a Ninjutsu specialist, due to his parents abandoning him. He was pushed through hard and good times by the trainer, whom had lost all he had and most sanity over the years. The monk was killed one day in Syn's life, while Syn was fetching a pail of water, two slick blade marks were marked across his master (father)'s chest and neck. Syn had gone insane from that day forward, looking for the killer. His eyes brought him to a diminuishing portal to the Outworld, where Syn now hunts his prey, Baraka.

Syn uses the following Tools/ On his Uniform (Advantages+Disadvantages)

Ashiko. A tool used by many ninja to either climb walls or inflict extra damage with a kick. This gives Syn an advantage in Foot combat.

Tanto: Used mainly for digging holes and whatnot, but in Syn's case it can be used for stabbing attacks and short range strikes. This gives Syn the close range advantage.

Syn's Fighting Styles

Ninjutsu: Syn's Primary style taught to him by his master. Syn is incredibly skilled in the art of being a ninja. (His moves are the same as Cyrax's from MK DA)

Bak Mei

Bak Meu or 'White Eyebrows' Kung Fu is named after a Taoist priest of the same name. Various stories exist about it's origin, but the note of the style is its initial soft, defensive movements turning into sudden, powerful strikes to vital points. One other important factor in the style is 'wit', or the ability to outwit and outmaneuver one's opponent.

Weapon Style: CHIGIRIKI
This weapon is a 2 foot long straight stick, with a 2-1/2 chain attached to the top with a ball with spikes. This weapon is considered to be the japanese morning star. The chain could be fitted in side the stick like the Kusari-Gama/Kama, and used as a mace.

Moves:

Back Cross Syn has no magical ability, so he leaps onto the ceiling, using his Ashiko to keep a grip for a second, then drops down behind his opponent, and kicks off of their back, jabbing the blades of the Ashiko into his opponent's back.

Repeated Tanto Stab Syn attaches Tanto to each of his hands, and begins to stab at his opponent's chest area, for up to about 12 times.

Shuriken The weapon of most ninjas. Syn tosses three shurikens at his opponent, one stays jabbed in (Acting as an impale.), while the rest can be blocked or damaged added.

Blade Lift At the point where Syn can be medium distance from his opponent, he can draw out a katana and jab it into his opponent, and kick them off of it, into the air. The blade doesn't go through fully, but the opponent is knocked clear into the air.

Fatalities:

Scarab Syn lifts his arms and draws back a tube. The tube is filled with large, flesh eating insects. Syn leaps up into the air and onto his opponen't shoulders, his Ashiko digging into the opponent's shoulder blades. Syn opens the tube and jams it into his opponents mouth, where the insects begin to eat him/her inside out.

Blade Lift Fatal Drawing out his Katana again, he pulls it back and jabs it into his opponent fully, so his handle is outside of the skin. He then forces the opponent into the air and kicks him repeatedly in the face with his Ashikos into the opponent's eyes. He then pulls his blade and kicks the opponent's head again, causing it to spin off while his body falls to the ground, his head slams down behind Syn, who stands cleaning his blade.

Hari Kari Being a Firm believer in Ninja arts, Syn draws out his Tanto, and jabs the first into his chest, and then another ontop of it, so it drives straight through his heart.

Ending 1 Syn eventually hunts down Baraka, upon finding him, the ninja is ambushed. He finds himself cornered and his weapons all but useless. He is knocked to the ground and ready to die, but in a turn of events another saves his life. Rather die then another save him, he attacks those who ambushed him, dying in the fury of blades.

Ending 2 Syn tracks Baraka through the Living Forest and being a master of shadow assasination, he leaps down behind the mutant and kills him, and decapitates him. Taking the ugly monster's head as a prize.

It's all I got for now...Tell me what you think.

Well done buddy! I like everything about this concept except the name but that's no big deal still. I like the art you used to give more details about the character and the story is well developed too.

I hadn't included his palm spikes, which increase damage with open hand strikes + blows. But thanks for your feedback. ^_^

nice character I made an assassin that is sort of US lookin or something but couldnt post pictures of him cuz this site has to use jpg and i dont got it...anyways I liked everything but his fatality so far because scarabs are one of my trademarks lol...but its all good. I think he seemed a little similar to noob in his whole character type but his moves and all were very unique. I think that a few of the moves are almsot imposibble to block and others are vice versa. wonderful weapon there need to be more robe/chain weapons in the game and this looks like it would work quite well with your character. did you make the pics cuz it looks like they are all in a big set or something...just wonderin lol.

I like it a lot. Very nice work. The story is short but nicely written. I like the attacks and the tools given to Syn. My fave attack is the Back Cross. It's very cool and stealthy! The weapon is awesome!

And nice work on the reaserach. Your character was made very authentic because of that. Again, nice work!

Very cool character. I like how you used real ninja equipment on the character. That gives him a real sense of depth. Great job.

Thanks! It's pretty cool. I mean MK needs some more realistic beings, that're able to do some cool stuff. I was recently playing Tenchu, that's where this idea came from.

Cat claws are mainly used with female ninjas, or just climbing. But good idea, though.

Great character, but the name has to go. Remember the game Cardinal Syn??? New name=perfect character.
