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.

Fatalities:
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.
