Name - Karl Edwards
Status - Escaped Convict from Riker's Island Maximun Security Prison.
Appearance - Standing at 6 feet and 6 inches and weighing 278 pounds, Karl is a very intimidating individual. He would either be clad in his prison issue orange jumpsuit or street clothes(Jeans and a T Shirt). His physique is very well defined. His head is shaved. He has grey eyes and is clean shaven.
History - (Sort of) - After a hard days work as a construction foreman in downtown NYC, all that Karl Thomas wants to do is go home, have a decent meal, play with his kids and make love to his wife. As he arrives at his modest home, he notices that all of the lights inside and outside of the house are off. He thinks that it is strange put doesn't pay much mind to it. As he approaches the steps to his front porch, he realizes that the front door to his house is slightly open. Again, he pays no mind to it. "Maybe one of the children left it open" he thinks to himself. As he enters the house, he sees it in complete disarray. Mirrors knocked off of the wall and shattered, couches flipped upside down, lamps broken, etc. He barely makes it past the front door when he hears a very faint cry. He follows the sound into the living room where he finds his wife, Amanda, curled in the fedal position behind a tipped over couch. He goes to her and askes her what has happened. As he does this, she turns over to reveal that she has been stabbed multiple times in the stomach. As she says "I'm sorry", she passes out. Karl frantically reaches for the phone to call 911, but the phone line is dead. He runs next door to have his neighbors call the paramedics and police, which they start to do immediately. Karl runs back to the house and tends to his wife. Her breathing and pulse are very low and almost non-existant. Again he goes over to his neighbors house and askes his friend Brian to tend to his wife while he looks for his children. He rushes up the stairs screaming his children's names "Andrew!!!! Jessica!!!!" He rushes past the bathroom first to Jessica's room only to find it ransacked and empty. he turns around and kicks down the door or his son's room, to find it the same way. Bewildered, he starts to head back downstair when something in the bathroom catches his eye. he slowly heads in and notices that there is water overflowing from the tub. He slowly pulls back the curtain to find his 2 children Jessica and Andrew laying in the water, drowned. Karl lets out a horrified scream and then pulls the two childrens lifeless bodies from the water. As he begins to perform CPR on his children, he hears some talking through his bathroom window. Two men is street clothes are sneeking over his fence and into his yard. Enraged by the death of his children and the condition of his wife, he rushes downstairs to confront the 2 individuals. On his way downstairs, he rips a bedpost from his son's bed. As he heads through his living room and then his kitchen, he can see the silouette of 1 man through the curtains of his sliding glass door. Without thinking, he runs and jumps through the glass door, tackling the individual. He quickly collects himself and sees the other man running towards him. Karl quickly picks up the bedpost and swings it at the man, knocking him to the ground. He proceeds to beat the man mercilessly with the large piece of wood, striking him only on the head. He then hears a loud pop behind him. He turns around to see the other man holding a revolver. Karl falls to the ground and passes out. He awakes to find himself disoriented, inside of a hospital, handcuffed to the bed. In the room are 2 uniformed officers, and a man that he recognizes as the man who shot him. He tries to jump from the bed but he cannot. The man in the suit says "I am Detective Ross Grover of the New York Police Department. You were shot in the back while myself and my partner were responding to a call at your home. I am the man who shot you. You killed my partner you son of a bitch!" At that, Detective Grover lunged at the bed, but he was restrained by the 2 uniformed police officers and led away.
To make a long story short, Karl Edwards was arrested for the murder of a police officer who was responding the the call that his neighbor made. Karl mistook the officers for the people who killed his family and killed one of them. He was sentenced to death at Rikers Island Maximum Security Prison.
The only way that this story will work is if the Dragon King and his minions invade Earthrealm. Rikers Island erupts in a large riot and some prisoner's escape. One of them being Karl Edwards. After his escape, he starts his own investigation to find out who killed his family and why. After turning up nothing in his investigation, he's desperate. He turns to a psychic who tells him that his family was killed by an unknown force. Something not of this world. Bewildered by this news, Karl wanders away wondering what to believe. Shortly thereafter, he is confronted by a large black man who introduces himself as Major Jackson Briggs. Major Briggs explains what happened to Karl's family. "Karl, your family was attached by what's called an Oni. A powerful creature not of this world. Somehow, it found a previously unknown interdimensional portal. For some reason, this portals exit was directly in your backyard. Literally. This creature butchered your family and then left through the portal."
OK. I'm rambling again. To sum it up, Karl joins the agency that also employs Major Jackson Briggs, General Sonya Blade, Cyrax and Kenshi. He has a score to settle with a particular creature. One that he only knows by the name Drahmin!
I know I skipped some parts of the story. For that I'm sorry. If you would like to hear more, just ask. Let me know what you think.
