Reptile

Life Status:    Immortal

Friends:    Kreeya, Kiri

Enemies:    Shao Kahn

Fighting styles:    Kung Fu, Capoeira

 

PAST

Reptile is part of an ancient reptilian race, originating from the dawn of time. His ancestors were nothing but mindless dinosaurs, but as the years went on they evolved into the civilization that they are today. The race has been living in the realm known as Zaterra for thousands upon thousands of years. But the great empire of Zaterra isn’t the magnificant kingdom that it once was. Because of Shao Kahn, the emperor of Outworld, the realm began to loose its power gradually. Kahn wanted to be dominant and control all realms, including the once independant Zaterra. Though Reptile is officially the ruler of Zaterra, Shao Kahn thinks of himself as the ruler over Reptile. And because Shao Kahn is one of the most powerful men in existence, Reptile will obey his orders to stay out of trouble.

PRESENT

In a determined attempt at independance, Reptile has joined forces with another ruler from a different realm – a queen known as Kreeya. Reptile hopes that by siding with Kreeya and mating with her, then they will spawn countless numbers of indestructable warriors. With Reptile’s blood, the warriors will possess the proportianate abilites of a lizard. With Kreeya’s blood, the warriors will have unravalled skills with deadly weapons. And combining the deadly fighting skills of both rulers, their offspring will be more than a match for Shao Kahn’s power. If all goes according to plan, Reptile and Kreeya will be standing tall of Shao Kahn’s beaten body, and will have his available empire to call their own.

KOMBAT ABILITIES

Attack:
Reptile’s offence is like a rapid-fire machine gun. He loves to get in close and use his superhuman speed to his advantage. He is a highly technical-based sort of fighter, meaning that he can slither out of any tricky situation and shoot a blinding counter attack in a second. The word ‘ninja’ comes into play here, too. Reptile is astonishingly nimble, and most would agree that he is by far the most acrobatic of all the ninjas. The majority of his attacks are involved in some kind of leaping, twisting, rolling or flipping motion. As he is the only fighter who can truly use these moves one after the other in a forward-moving momentum, Reptile is a very formidable figher indeed.

Defence:
Reptile is a master of defense. Well, a master of blocking at least. Reptile rarely ducks or dodges an attack, believing it to be useless and uneffective. He thinks that by blocking and attack, he can send a backlash on his enemy and stun them with a follow up manouevre.

               

Noob Saibot

Life Status:    Immortal

Friends:    None

Enemies:    None

Fighting styles:    I.E.S.A.

Episode:    Noob Saibot

 

PAST

Noob Saibot comes from the darkest, blackest, emptiest realm of all: Netherealm. Here, he lives as a lot of the other creatures do. All of the beings that exist in Netherealm are corpses, half-dead bodies, hell demons, freaks, creeps, monsters, ghosts or maybe nothing more than shadows. Noob Saibot is a fortunate one, he has been able to maintain his sanity. His actual origin is not clear, but we do know that he is probably one of the most powerful warriors in Netherealm.

PRESENT

It’s not known how he does it, but Noob Saibot has some sort of ability to transport from one realm to the other. It means nothing to him, though. Each universe is identical to the next, in his eyes. His emotion does not vary much: anger, bloodlust, pleasure… that’s about it. Noob Saibot’s body is made from many different (and odd) materials, including the dark, shadows, toxic chemicals, ashes and oil. This unique combination allows him to slide along the floor, or perhaps become one with a shadowy corner.

All of this makes Noob Saibot an interesting warrior, especially to people who will pay him the right amount to annihilate anyone they wish. Any person who is powerful enough can summon Noob Saibot, give him orders and fork out the cash (or perhaps other services) when the deed is done.

KOMBAT ABILITIES

Attack:
Extremely annoying and bewildering to anyone that goes up against him. Noob Saibot keeps a low stance when fighting, making it quite easy for him to roll and sidestep, and making it quite hard for his enemy to land a hit. A vast array of flips, twists and rolls are at Noob Saibot’s disposal, and he uses these skills to execute razor-sharp, unavoidable moves. But some may wonder why Noob Saibot would ever need to use the iron bar, hidden inside the muscles of his arm. He can easily force the bar out of his arm when he wishes, therefore putting his opponents at a severe and unfair disadvantage.

 

Defence:
The way Noob Saibot moves, the way he switches stances, the way he whips his feet around like they were made of paper. All of this added up and you have a fighter that is almost IMPOSSIBLE to hit. Not only that, his taunting and rhythmic manoeuvres irritate his opponents to frustration, causing them to loose focus and loose important states of concentration.

         

Shadow Priests

Life Status:    Immortal

Friends:    Each other

Enemies:    Enemies of their master Shao Kahn

Fighting styles:    (of the Priests seen) Capoeira, Vale Tudo, Karate, Jeet Kune Do

 

PAST

Almost nothing is known about the past of these ruthless monsters. Since they lurk around in long, black robes and hide their faces under a dark hood, it is sometimes thought that they conceal hideous features. Sometimes it is also said that they were once warriors from different realms, fighting against Shao Kahn to save their own worlds. But the Emperor of Outworld defeated them all, capturing their souls. It is said that he then returned them to a half-life, only to serve him and fight for him in the many battles he wars he caused. Only one of them has ever been seen without his robes. This man had the features of a normal human, but he did not show any signs of human emotion. He only spoke to Shao Kahn, informing him of any important information. Whether all of the other Shadow Priests look like him underneath their clothes is a mystery. The Shadow Priests have no free will, and they have no desire to do anything the emperor hasn’t ordered them to. They are ‘blessed’ with many useful abilities, such as sorcery, telepathy and unbelievable martial arts. Though there are many of them who serve Shao Kahn, none of the Shadow Priests appear to be female.

PRESENT

The Shadow Priests are now alert by their emperor’s side, as the war between him and his enemies gets more hostile every day. They can serve him in many ways. They can tell how many forces or armies an enemy has, or where an enemy came from. The Priests also serve him by decimating any foe the emperor choses. They are masters at torture, possessing the ability to keep someone suffering even after they die.

KOMBAT ABILITIES

Attack:
Since their are many of the Shadow Priests, it is hard to tell how their fighting stye works. They fight in many different ways, with many different styles. One of the Shadow Priests fights with Brute Force, using hell-raising wrestling moves and stiff punching to get him through a fight. Another Shadow Priest stands still while his enemy pummels him, waiting for them to wear themselves out or let their guard down, before launching a flurry of sharp jabs and kicks to mark the end of the match. So the styles of the Priests vary. But they use their techniques to such an extent that they can’t recall the last time their foes didn’t met their doom.

Defence:
As before, the ways of defense differs from one Shadow Priest to the other. But whichever way the Priests chose to defend, they will make sure that it is an effective way, and they will make sure that it is an offensive way.
