Tiger's Full Story:

Name: Tiger

Alignment: Unknown

Race: Human?

Age: 22

Height: 6'0"

Weight: 250lbs

Status: Renegade ninja/warrior

Fighting Styles: Tiger Claw, Judo

Weapon: Katana

Apperance: (I will be posting a drawing I've done in the Fan Art Forum as sonn as I've scanned the sketch)

Tradtional Ninja Outfit (MK1 Scorpion style) which is orange with lots of black claw like marks running down both sides of the entire outfit. Looks like a tiger has actualy ripped his outfit (Check out Cameroon's new soccer team uniforms for the perfect example, puma.com)
Face mask is orange, but has two black fangs as an overbite - like a Saber-toothed tiger.

Story: Once NIghtwolf's greatest student, the old man had found him in the jungles of Asia and soon realized he was the quickest warrior the shamen had ever seen. He took Tiger under his wing and promised to make a champion out of him. But his temprement was not focused enough to be a Grand Champion - Tiger became cocky and let the adulation of his master swell his already large ego. He began to question the teachings of his trainer and after a short while forgot most of what Nightwolf had taught. When he began to lose to the other students of the shamen he blamed it entirely upon Nightwolf and disappeared once again into the jungles. No one had seen him since, until he showed up at the tournament to prove he is the best fighter EVER!!!

Special Moves: Jugular attack - bites at the neck of the opponent.
Eye gouge - Rips at the eyes of the opponent.

Stage: The jungle of course! Interaction: Anyone of numerous animals in a jungle can attack you.
Death Trap: A tiger (Tiger's faithful attack tiger) chained in the background gets a tasty meal!

Fatality: More of an Animality, he either transforms into a tiger and mauls the victim to death, or he uses the power of the shamen and summons a tiger to do the same.

Stage Fatality: Like a real tiger, he takes his vanquished foe up a tree and begins to devour them.



A once mighty stealth ninja from Japan, Tiger belonged to a clan that was long forgotten. Minimal knowledge exists of this clan - we don't even know the name, but they are rumored to worship a jungle creature - they did have a distinctive outfit however. A bright orange, a colour not typical of his country. Tiger was a skilled warrior but lacked experience. Once on a thievery mission to the temple of a rival clan, he and his fellow ninja's were ambushed by the very people they were planning to rob. EVERYONE but Tiger was slaughtered, he managed to escape using a combination of his quick thinking and skilled fighting. After seeing his Master die right in front of him he grabbed the fallen wise man's ceremonial Katana and fled to the East, where he eventually ended up in Mongolia. He was welcomed into the home of an old master, who could see his warrior clothes and took pity on the young ninja. The old man taught the young student the technique of the Tiger Claw on a daily basis. But the wise old sensai was very critical of him, in reality the master was only trying to improve his student, but Tiger began to feel hatred towards the Mongol master. One day during a routine training session, the two were sparring with Katana's. The man critisized the young trainee once too many, and during the next bout Tiger laid a fatal blow to the jugular of the old man. For a split second, Tiger's eyes gleemed at the sight of the poor man stuggling to survive. But he soon realized that he could not face the widow and her child, so he fled, eventuallly settling in the jungles of India. There he hid alone - some say it turned him a little mad, but he may have been in a fragile state of mind already. He had seen his comrades massacered in front of his very eyes.
Nightwolf had gone back to his homeland after the Outworld Invasion had subsided thanks to the efforts of the Chosen Warriors. He decided to go on a spiritual journey around the world, and he began his trip in the jungles of India. While there he encountered a man that was eating the raw flesh from a dead carcass. His clothes looked ninja in origin, but orange? He also had what looked like claw marks running down either side. And what looked to be a ninja sword strapped to his back. Nightwolf approached this former warrior, but was met with hostility. After some initial scrapping the Shamen was able to convince Tiger he was not a threat. He soon learned that Tiger was a very skilled fighter, particularly in Tiger Claw (Mongolia) and Judo (Japan), but he also found that his deadliest asset (besides his insanity and sadistic tendancies) was his ability with a sword. Not any sword, but a Japanese Katana - a most deadly weapon if placed in the wrong hands - and these were the wrong hands!


Nightwolf had calmed Tiger down enough to begin talking about his past, and his unusual attire. Tiger explained that his clan was so secretive that if he even mentioned the name to an outsider, he would be marked for death. Seeing that Tiger would not reveal anymore on the matter Nightwolf asked where he was from, before he joined the clan. Tiger told the shamen that he was once a student at the Wu Shi Academy and had been taught by Liu Kang and Kung Lao. He had been their mightiest young warrior, the next Chosen One, but he lacked the discipline. More importantly though, his soul was tainted by evil. This was never more evident than in the annual Wu Shi Academy tournament, a contest to determine the best student at the Academy, and judged by Kang and Lao. Tiger annihilated all comers before reaching the final where he would face another promising fighter, Chong Wei. This was the first proper competition Tiger had encountered during this exhibition, and he soon realized this was a worthy opponent. Wei fought with intelligence and avoided many of Tiger's attacks, infuriating the arrogant student. In one swift move, Tiger incapacitated his opponent - but illegaly. Chong Wei had been a victim of Tiger's eye gouge special move, something that was strictly against the rules and left Wei blinded. But before Kang could stop the fight and disqualify Tiger, he had lunged at Chong and bit into his neck. He died quickly, but in agony. Tiger was banished from the Academy for ever and was almost sentenced to death. Fortunately for him the Order of Light decided he should be exiled and told that if he was ever seen again by Kang or KUNG LAO (at the next tournament perhaps??) he would not escape next time. He wandered Asia for months aimlessly, stealing to survive, a skill he was surprisingly good at. One day he was attempting to pick pocket someone at the local market in Tokyo, it turned out to be Chow Chan - a leader of a very secretive clan. He saw the young man's potential for thievery and invited Tiger to join his clan.
Tiger accepted.....

So in a timeline, The Wu Shi Academy happened 1st,
He joined his clan 2nd.
He was ambushed with his fellow clansmen and escaped to the East 3rd.
And then he kills his trainer and hides in the jungles of India where Nightwolf finds him after having visions that he should go on a spiritual journey and start it in India.
Next I will write about how Tiger becomes Nightwolf's best student and then leaves, again hiding in the jungles, until the start of the next tournament. (Where the reigning champ is Kung Lao, who leads the White Lotus Society with Kai after Liu Kang's death and avenged it by winning the title of Grand Champion for the Order of Light)
[If I'm still in the tournament]

Whens the next elimination?

are you going to keep this post alive still or are you going to use the other one with the stats etc.?

Thanks.

this is the main one, the other is just for the judges to post the stats and makes it easier for us to find the characters. We are about to update as soon as one of the judges gives their final vote.

*UPDATE 12th Elimination*

We have come to a conclusion on what we are going to do to Althea. It was a hard decision, we the judges commented on her back and forth trying to come to a conclusion and we finally have. Althea.........................booted. Im really sorry. Her moves werent very descriptive. Her fatality was very similar to the one of raiden in one of the past MK?s. Her story started of interesting but by the end it failed to interest me. Thank you very much LadyRaiden for participating . And We are about to decide which are the 2 first character to go the hall-of-fame. Only 2 will be going there in the next update and obviously the ones with more stars will have greater possibilities of moving on. So look forward to seeing who the two first hall-of-famers will be.

when is this going to end?

when 10 hall-of-famers are chosen. we have 4 already who we think are going to go. So once who start posting who those people are, there are less probabilities of your character being part of it until the next one. Once the 10 hall of famers are there the judges will pair up the characters, and have a 1-on-1 elimination. Where the judges individualy vote for the better one. The votes will be displayed as each judge decides. We are looking for judges still so the final voting will be extremely fair.

*UPDATE 13th Elimination*

OK now we have another elimination. The next one regards Kithak Scorne. This character was very well done. We thought the story was interesting. Sorry to make this brief explanation. Im in a hurry sorry. Well he will be replacing................

Hey Lady Raiden, I thought I would put in my 2 cents on your character. Story wise, I really liked it. I liked the fact that she was half god. The thing that needed work, IMO, was her special moves and fatality. They needed more flair and descrpition. But still, you did a very good job. I hope you enter again.

*Updated Hellscream Biography*
-added more detail to special moves
-added more detail to story
-added more detail to character weapon
-Generally went through the whole bio and added stuff here and their to make it smoother.

*coming soon*
-character ending
-another fatality
-possible new stage interaction
-hari kari
-fighting styles

If you have any suggestions please don't hesitate to IM me!!! I really need some ideas for fighting styles if you can point me to a website that lists some i would be very greatful.

--------------------------------------------------

Character Name: Hellscream

Character Looks: Oni demon necromancer. Pale "gollum" like flesh that is concealed in a dark cloak. His hands are very reptilian and have large claws that he will often use in combat. Large red fiery eyes and small pointed teeth. While formidable at hand to hand combat, Hellscream's forte is in his vast knowledge of necromancy.

Height: 5'8''
Weight: 160lbs
Origin: Netherealm
Affiliation: Evil but has not taken a dark or light side yet, key word YET.

Character Special Moves:
Soul Rot - A dark cloud of demonic energies is engulfs his enemy, damaging the enemy by corrupting his/her soul with demonic rage.

Skeletal Shackles - Being adept at necromantic magics, Hellscream is able to summon his skeletal minions forth from the ground... hands sprout up at the opponents feet and grab him and hold him in place... giving Hellscream a chance to perform a kombo or other move.

Necromantic Channeling - Hellscream is able to channel the dark energies of the Netherealm into a powerful orb at which he hurls at his enemy. When this orb makes contact it erupts as you can see the faces of souls fly in different directions.

Character Weapon: Schmitar forged in the fires of an unknown plain in the Netherealm, and cooled in human blood. His day's as a shaman he would often practice swordsmanship as a pass time, as a result he is a quit formidable swordsman... relying on precise strikes and combos rather than brute strength.

Character Fatality:
Death and Decay - A spell is casted which makes his opponent slowly rot and decay... limbs and flesh falling off while their body as a whole begins shriveling up while the opponent screams out in agony.

Stage Name: Altar of Darkness
Stage Interaction: The Altar of Darkness is Hellscream's main temple used to pay homage to his dark demonic gods. Becuase of the dark energies surrounding this place there are a number of hazards. Firstly, there are several Heretics that are watching the fight, occasionally these Heretics have been known to lash out and do damage to the combatants. Secondly, this building is far past its prime. Due to this; the ceiling has began to crumble during intense moments of combat, heads up!

Stage Weapon: Slayer's Axe... a large double headed axe that had originally been used only for ceremonial sacrifices... the beheading and slaughter of other men. Very good range and damage but slow and leaves you vulnerable to attack if a hit does not connect.

Stage Fatality: Hellscream Grabs the Slayer's Axe, kicks his opponent to the floor, then grabs his head and places it on a large nearby stone slab. Hellscream then raises the Axe high over his head and decapitates his opponent while pronouncing an incantation to pay favor to his gods.

Death Traps: Sacrifice - the loser of the match is then sacrificed by the heretics to a large creature in order to appease the gods.

Story: Hellscream had once been a once proud and noble Shaman of a peaceful tribe in the outworld. When Shao Kahn's armies began to take up war this peaceful tribe was enslaved by Kahn and forced to give up their peaceful magics and shamanistic way of life. Kahn's council of sorcerer's was able to convert this peaceful race into practicioners of the dark necromantic magics. Commanding hordes of undead Warriors, HellScream had been a very powerful asset for Kahn. However, the use of these dark magics attracted the attention of the council of elder gods. Infuriated at the resurrection of this forbidden magic, Hellscream's entire tribe was executed.

Hellscream however was doomed to a far worse fate. He was banished to the Netherealm. The twisted energies of this land slowly began to corrupt Hellscream... and his human form slowly began to corrode into that of an Oni. Surprisingly however, due to his incredibly high intellect, Hellscream did not lose his human emotional state and intelligence. infuriated that the Elder Gods banished him to the Neatherealm for something he had no control over, Hellscream dedicates his life to finding a way out of the Neatherelm. He finds his salvation in a strange amulet he had stolen off a pale sorcerer that worshipped Shinnok. With his escape, the Outworld and Earthrealms have much to fear.
His mission: To destroy all who support the elder gods... and eventually find a way to destroy the Council itself.

EDIT: Gave Phoenix a new fatality, as well as updated his fireball special move} (Wanted to post, so you guys would not forget about me. lol)
Name: Phoenix

---

Alignment: Good

---

Race: Part-human, part-cyborg

---

Height: 6' 4"

---

Weight: 328 lbs. (with robotic parts)

---

Fighting Styles: Tae Kwon Do, Jeet Kune Do, Hookswords

---

---

Apperance:Even though he was partly converted to a cybernetic assassin, he still retains many human traits, but not all are visible. His eyes, nose, and mouth are seen only through a red visor plate shaped like an I. His titanium chest has been covered by a thick short sleeve shirt, and his hands are pure metal, but the rest of his body remains human. He is forever scarred because of the cruelty of the former Lin Kuei..

---

---

Description: A former member of the Lin Kuei, Phoenix has the ability to control fire, much like his mentor Sub-Zero has the ability to control ice. Chosen as a prototype for a new breed of assassins with more human-like features, as he was being converted, something went wrong. The machine short-circuited, getting only half of the conversion done. For years after the experiment, Phoenix wandered the deserts and wastelands of Earthrealm and Outworld, looking gor someone to help him rid himself this cybernetic "poisons". Upon learning of Sub-Zero's defeat of the former grandmaster of the Lin Kuei, he returns to where he grew up, asking Sub-Zero to help him. Instead, he helps Phoenix maximize his powers and enancements. Now, with the Lin kuei reformed, Phoenix returns to his former mentor, Sub-Zero, to help train the new generation of Lin Kuei warriors prepare for the coming of the Dragon King, and his undefeatable army..

---

Special moves: Homing fireball --Phoenix slams his hands together forcing out a massive amount of pure fire, then circles around the arena seeking out it's target. Iceball --A trick Phoenix learned from Sub-Zero, he cools his internal temperature enough so his fireball freezes before it is launched, but in the process, loses it's homing ability.

---

Fatality1: Hooksword Hanging: Phoenix takes his Hookswords, and hangs his enemy by the shoulderblades, and hangs them on the edge on the arena, then proceeds to beat them until they explode, his hookswords fly in the air, Phoenix jumps and catches them, and and re-hooks them on his back.
Fatality2: Rain of Fire: Phoenix throws his hands in the air, shooting about 8 or 9 fireballs up. Nothing happens for a moment as the enemy wonders what the [censored] Phoenix is doing. Then, they look up, and see the fireballs coming down about 5 times their original size. They come raining down on the enemy, burning off limbs, until the last fireball strikes them in the head, leaving just the neck, and that is still on fire as the enemy's torso falls backwards.

---

Hara-Kari: Phoenix takes the handle of his right hooksword, and tosses it up, and it impales him through the top of his head.

---

---

Hidden weapon: Electric Blade--A high-powered blade of pure energy, it does massive amounts of damage, but it is a short-range weapon

---

Death Trap: In the NW corner, there is a pile of live wires that, it knocked into, snare the enemy, and roasts him.

---

Stage fatalty: Half-finished prototypes like Phoenix grab the enemy, and start ripping them apart.

*UPDATE 14th Elimination*

It has been decided that Darkness Rain is booted from the competition. His move set and character design weren?t well developed. The story wasn?t very interesting either. Thanks you very much darkshift for participating. As you can see, there are now 8 slots left we have 2 people in the hall-of-fame. It is going to be harder to replace these characters.

*Update 15th Elimination*


At the request of buterbals113085, I shall update the next round. The challenger is Erebus. I really liked this character, and I think his demon/oni story and background were killer. His moves and fatals are also really good. He deffinately has much potential. So Erebus shall be replacing..................

Senim! Sorry thatguy, Senim had a really cool concept, but he was the most underdeveloped of all the other contenders. His story needs a little more work and should try to make him a but more interesting. Thanx for entering, and if you think of a new character please post it. Anyway, we now have 7 contenders and no challengers. Sorry if this post wasn't too great. I am new at this.

Uhhh is it just going to be 1v2 3v4 etc... or are you going to mix it up???
Is it going to be a round robin? It may not be fair if two excellent characters meet up right off the bat... and one gets elimated because he loses to the #1 ranked character.

I have a character. He needs a little work,but he's not done. I hope finish in time.
