Some people were unhappy about the inclusion at the addition of the vampiress Nitara in the MK world. Most didn’t like the ideas of vampires in the series. Others, like myself loved the idea and have become fans of Nitara. But has anyone stopped to realise what Nitara could become if her full vampiric potential were to be unleashed? She’d be feared and definite boss material. She or another of her race could easily become the new evil in the coming games after the Dragon King or maybe alongside him.

On top of the traditional blood-sucking vampire, there is another type of vampire. The Psychic vampire.

Nitara is a good character in MKDA. She is very fast, very powerful and intimidating in the right hands. However, not many of her vampiric powers were given attention in the game. Improving her would mean on a level, adding some of these powers to the game. Here are some vampiric powers and how some could be implemented into the game for Nitara or another vampire to use.

Powers of the Vampire:

Flight – (some vampires change shape to fly – not needed in Nitaras case.) I don’t know how eel flight would work in this game now. It’d be interesting to see.

Misting or vaporizing: This idea I’ve posted several times. Basically, Nitara can attack from a long range by turning her fist into mist and having it reappear in front of the opponent reforming and smacking them in the face.

Strength: Nitara has plenty. Giving her more power would be suicide for everyone else.

Hypnosis: Could be used in a similar way to the fanlift except the character would be made drowsy for a few seconds. (Limited range of course)

Control the elements: This attribute should be left alone as we have quite a few elementals already.

Control of animals: Summoning a creature in battle would be great as an attack. Could also summon pumpkins and watermelons. (Both fruits are regarded dangerous. According to vampiric lore, both can become vampires, but are harmless, as they have no teeth. Could be used as a projectile)

Scale walls: Seeing Nitara climb a wall and flip off it over the opponent would be a great move in game.

Transformation: (Vampires can turn into bats, cats, dogs, wolves, butterflies, insects, rats, birds, fleas, mice and locusts.) This opens up many Fatality options. Also, if she could have a second form to fight in.

Drain life or psychic energy: This is an attribute of the psychic vampire.

Given all of these powers, Nitara and her race are formidable opponents and it is no wonder Raiden says they are a threat to Earth. Given that there are other vampiric powers and how these listed could be added, what ideas for Nitara do you have?

A pic may help in the description part. ;)

Anyways, good thread, my point of view to the vampires has changed :P, and now I'd like to see another vampire in MKD, heh.

Hmmm you have some great ideas tgrant. Giving her flight and mist thingy abilities would be awesome. I was skeptical of there being a vampire being in the MK series at first but later on, I accepted Nitara as a good addition to the series. She looks good and is quite powerful. I'm not so sure that her styles suited her though...

But anyway, great ideas....it'd be awesome if at least some of them were implemented into MK Deception for her character.

I LOVED THE IDEAS!

I have to say I'm one of the many fans of Nitara. She is simply one hell of a character. Her story has simply so much potential, and in the game she was one powerful fighter.

You did a great job on the ideas tgrant! I have to say that I'm very into the transformation and control of animals. It would be awesome to see her turn (as a special move) into a black cat in the middle of the battle and attack you furiously!

Also the Misting or vaporizing idea was brilliant! It could work very well on the game, but one of my personal faves were the wall climbing idea. It would kick ass to see something like that!

I would actually like her to fly, BUT I actually don’t want her too. I rather see that in someone else, maybe Sindel?????? Besides, the fly is one of Sindels trademark moves. ; )

Overall, excellent ideas that could definitely improve Nitara to the maximum!

Good ideas, but there is one more vital characteristic to Vampires, and that is incredible speed and celerity. Although Nitara didn't play as such, they could adjust her character in all these was to make her possibly even a Sub-boss.

The thing is, we never really saw her wings put to full use. There is a lot of potential in her, but I'm not certain if she'll have a role MK6. But I definitely hope she does, and the odds aren't exactly against her.

She has those large wings so she should be able to use them.

But all you did was slap together every Vampire mythos and want to give them all to her, But no. I'd like to think of her being part of a race in the MK world rather then a cult of supernatural creatures.

There was one awesome idea about blocking with the wings. That would be cool!

I think the vampires will have a lot to do with the future of Mortal Kombat. Nitara is twice as powerful as they let on, IMO.

I have a feeling that the biggest deception of the game, could in fact be the vampires. Now that they have their orb, I think we could see them become a really devastating force.

Queve: The fly should probably be left with Sindel. I’d prefer her trademark to remain a trademark. I like the idea of the black cat! That’d be so cool! I loved that blocking with the wings idea too! That’d be cool!

Temp: Speed and celerity are vampire traits, not powers bro. All vampires possess those two things. The vampiric powers are only known by some. I hope they’ll let her use her wings sometime too.

GraveDigger: I merely suggested some vampiric powers that could be given to her. I never said they all should be given to her. That would be silly.

Vikiv: No problem! I’m glad you liked the ideas. Nitara as I said is one of my faves too!

You-Know-Who: I hope the vampires are involved a lot too. I think they will and they’ll help liven things up a little too.

I hope she's back too queve! Although given the storyline, I'm certain we'll be seeing her again! And now Sindel is back, the fly move could easily return.

The wings must stay! They are a unique trait to Nitara's species of vampires and I think they look great!

why not just call the game vampire kombat,or better yet robot kombat?I like the characters,don't get me wrong...but I just can't see a proper storyline with the MK universe that I can accept them in this earth VS outworld scene.

The storylines are ok. There is only one vampire so far and three robots. They are not messing up the story line at all. Nitaras inclusion has helped make things more exciting. The three robots stories need a little work, but Sektors has become interesting also thanks to MK:TE.

The transformatuon idea would be an interesting thing to incorporate. It'd open up all new move options for Nitara.
