Kim Shao was a character I created a while back, shortly after Hatsuma. I decided to rework him into a new concept.
Name: Kim Shao
Age: 22
Height: 6'ft
Weight: 187 lbs
Alignement: Neutral/
Hair: Bald
Eye color: Red and black
Fighting Styles: Spirit Dragon, Shaolin Kung Fu, Mantis, twin straight swords, Drunken Fist
Special Ability: Chi exertion
P.o.O.: Thailand, now roaming the deserts of Outworld.
Quote" To master an art, everything else is meaningless."
Look: Kim Shao follows the tradition of his heritage, and wears the standard shaolin uniform, only crafted to his liking. He wears a dark blue sash which drapes over his left side and slightly down his arm. Hw wears black pants which tuck into his steel shin gaurds. He wears white socks and sandals, as well as arm gaurds. His right side has a tribal tattoo covering his entire right side up to his neck and stoping before the forearm. He has nine dots, aranged in three rows on his head indicating that he is of the highest calibur of warrior in the Shaolin community.
Moves:
Shaolin Fist: Kim Shao energies his fist with dark chi and unleashes it in the form of a violent ball of energy at his opponent.
Thundering Palm: Kim Shao lines his plams with his spirit energy and delivers a three hit combo to the stomach, ribs, and spine of the opponent, causing hem to roll in the other direction.
Awakened Power: Kim surges chi energy into all parts of his body, causing him to glow in a dark aura for a short time. By doing so, his physical, as well as energy attacks become greatly increased. The sacrifice, is that ever strike drains some life. This move taps into the persons spirit, there by draining it every time it's used.
Wind Walker: Kim channels his chi into his legs, giving him an incrdible boost of speed, to fast for the naked eye. While in this state, Kim moves faster then sound. The only trace he leaves is a gust of wind and faint shadows were he was. By pressing an attack button the move also changes to Howling Wind.
Howling Wind: While using Wind Walker, Kim can preform a series of augmented strikes at his opponent in rapid sucession, each being indicated by a blinding flash on the opponents body caused by the release of chi powered strikes. The move happens with the span of several seconds with the opponet being tossed around like a rag doll.
Rising Whirlind: A four kick combo which starts out with a pop-up sweep and then goes into a series of three rising flip kicks.
Dragon Stomach Breaker: Kim take the opponent and tosses him into the air. He jumps after them and kicks them back towards the ground where he waits. He raises his foot straight up into the air, and the opponent falls right on top of it.
Fatality:
Stone Crusher Stomp:
Kim runs up his opponents legs, then chest and then leaps twenty feet into the air. He does a couple of front flips charging up his feet with his dark chi energy. He then comes down directly on the opponents head, driving it down between the shoulders and into their abdomen. The pressure is so great, that anything, and everything inside, shoots out the front of the opponents chest, leaving the head to fall into the open mid section. The initial force also causes the persons body to split vertically in half.
Death Touch:
To start off the fatality, Kim shoots his two blades into the opponents thighs, stapling them in place. He then charges his palm up with energy and walks up to the opponent. He then carefully looks them over and then touches their right arm. We are shown the persons own chi energy building up in the same place. The persons arm beggins to swell and pulse. Suddenly, the opponet's arm explodes. The opponent starts screaming in pain. Kim then looks them over again coldly. He then touches their other arm and again it explodes. The person is now a fountain of blood. He finally touches their chest and we see a type of x-ray with all the energy building up into their heart. Kim then steps back and walks away, we see an over the shoulder shot of the opponents center starting to swell up and pulsate and then being blown away, leaving a hole in the middle, where their heart, lungs, and ribs were with blood spewing out in gallons. Kim then retracts his blades an the corpse falls to the ground, shooting blood out in short, but violent bursts like a fountain.
Hara-Kiri:
Kim Shao takes his twin straight swords and throws them into the distance. He then uses Wind Walker to run past them and stop infront of them, inches before impact. The blades lodge themselves into his body, one in the head, the other in the chest.
Story:
Kim Shao grew up in a small fishing village in Thailand. At the age of 13, his village was showered by a Napalm Strike from the a strange group of mechanical soldiers, led by a warrior clad in red and black armor under the suspicion that they were harboring guerilla troops. Everybody in the village was killed, either by the strike or shortly after by a clean up crew who was sent in to search the area. The river ran red with the blood of Kim's family, friends, and elders. Kim was the only one who escaped the clearing by fleeing into the jungle. He hid their for several days, avoiding the ongoing search parties. Shortly afterwards he was found by a couple of monks. It seemed that he had stumbled onto a shaolin society, living in isolation from the everyday world, very rarely having contact with the outside. The monks heard his tale and felt sympathy for the young survivor and took him in. In the coming years Kim learned the ways of Shaolin. He learned discipline, balance and inner peace. The temple became a second family for him and for a time he was happy. However, soon after that, he started to have a reacuring nightmare. He kept seeing visions of his old village, and the Napalm strike. He kept hearing the voices of little children and adults alike, screaming in pain as their flesh was scortched from their bone by the napalm. He saw how the survivors begged for help from the clearing team for help, only to get shot in the head and get dragged into the river to cover up everything. This nightmare soon became a part of Kim. It consumed his soul and twisted his mind. He used the brutality and hatred in his training. He rose to the ranks of his mentors. Many feared his skills and questioned his sanity, they were right to do so. Kim became a walking embodiement of opressed anger. His training becam difficult, opressing his anger was not something that he could do so easily. Because of his drive however, he ascended in spirituality although, not the way he intended. his ascention gave him the gift to master his chi, but pushed him to the limit of sanity. One day during a match against a fellow monk. Kim was consumed with rage, his dark chi taking him over. Without thought and hesitation, he charged his "brother" and killed the young monk with one lethal strike through the chest. In the Shaolin tradition this was a cardinal sin. Spilling the blood of a brother in blind rage was of the highest disgrace. As he came to, he saw the broken body of his brother on the floor with a look of horror and sarrow that ate Kim alive. His hands soiled with blood Kim cast himself out of the temple. Seeking revenge on those that implanted this evil seed in his body, Kim has abandonned all honor and morale. He will kill anything, or anyone to get his revenge.

His backstory is AWESOME, his bloodlust cause him to kill a fellow monk. But instead of doing the traditional i.e. right thing most shaolin monks would do he goes out for revenge. So much character personality there.

awesome, but he'd need another name. shao is too much like shao kahn, so there'll probably be some retard who (if this character did get created somehow) thinks that they're related or that it's shao kahn in disguise or something
