As an aspiring artist I have to say that I am impressed with Annette's visual presentation. She seems very reminiscent of renaissance portrayals . She gives me a french 17th century lady vibe ;d

@ICEgrenade: Serenity's great, love her story a lot. Give me your thoughts on Marek when you can.

I've created a roleplaying thread for those interested in it here. Please read over the few rules there are and go have some fun if you so wish!

@colt1107:

On the subject of Annette's sexuality and her association with pearls......

I am a little ashamed to admit but you are entirely right in your grossness. Her association with pearls is intended to be symbolic of the male seed, while her association with the sea is intended to symbolize the womb. I'll talk about that more when Annette is up for voting, don't want to give too much away. But no, Annette is not pregnant.

I haven't listed that as actually happening in my character's ending, but it's hinted towards.

Woo-Hoo!! Thanks, Crow!!

thanks! and i just finished Marek's story, and im sorry to say but i really LIKED it! lol i can picture a shadow priest fighter and ive always wanted one! The story is really good but the only problem (if you can even call it that) is that you put marek as a neutral character but while reading the story i got the good guy vibe from him lol also loved your second fatality!

It's not too gross, I think about 90% of men think of spilt seed when they see a women wearing pearls. I actually think it's quite primal, and kinda a tease to wear them.

That's okay though. I updated my original post with my thoughts on Ravyn, nice job on her, great look.

@Shesgotclaws:

I like the way you think.

Also, thanks folks for indulging me, I feel much better about my sailor now.... Was getting quite insecure.

Yeah, I kinda messed up with the alignment, but thanks for the praise all the same.
And that makes yet another positive comment for Death from Within.
Creativity FTW!!! lol

there are 3 characters that i'm blown away in terms of appearance, moves and story and makes my character seem less important. i have not read every ones but the ones i have looked at so far are really good.

here are the 3 i'm impressed with.

malice awesome work, love the design and very cool specials. every one of them feels unique.

ravyn cool design and the fact she wilds that unique weapon she could be more popular than scorpion, which is one of my favorite mk characters. your fatality was pretty sweet.

luna could replace nightwolf and i'd be thrilled. i like the spirits and such incorperated in the moves and whatnot.

i'd like to know what you guys or girls thought of kevshi if possible. it's hard for me in terms of story and whatnot because i have not played the new mk. plus kenshi will be downloadable so i don't know what he will play like or even his story which makes it hard for my character since kevshi is the brother of kenshi.

Yay! Khibok has a fan! Feel free to draw him, so long as you share the final product of course

I thought you did a good job on Ekimaru. I thought his origin sounded like an actual story you would hear in mythology. I liked it. I also really liked Master Hiroshi Hitokaze's last words to Ekimaru. it really tugged on the heart strings.

Make that a couple of fans for Khibok, love that monkey man.
Given Marek a look yet?

Firstly thank you I'm glad you liked Malice
I thought your character was written well written and was glad you didn't Mimic Kenshi at all. I'm also liking the sound of his fighting style very interesting indeed.
My only criticism is that his ending could use a little fleshing out, but its s fighting game and he's fighting style whats most important.

Wow. There are a LOT of typos in Krustacean's bio. I guess that's what I get for doing it in notepad, one draft, no revisions, final destination. Hell, I forgot half of what I'd written.

@sanguinius:

It's okay though, because he is a crab man, and that is all that matters. Come to the RP thread and Annette will gladly be his groupie.

Yay :D
I'm sure Malice would agree to an alliance with Keilenaten although that depends which Malice she asks ;p

i can't wait to see the others .

Of course it's a super busy day at work when all the kharacters are revealed. Guess I've got my night reading lined up.

Thankyou for adding Khaali's pic Crow. xx

Still don't know from who the 'powers' line came from though, hehe

Just read Kevshi...I must say he seems a bit of the oddball demon type. Reminds me of the types of demons I see on anime like InuYasha and so on. I like how he is simple minded and one track minded. I would liked to have seen more in his ending and maybe a few more moves that negate to Kenshi. I like the colors you picked and the image I get in my head of his costume and appearance...he would look good as a Bleach character lol.

Looked at the pic and I must say Khaali greatly reminds me of Andariel from Diablo 2. I don't know about the nudity and how that will go over with others though.EDIT:sorry double posted...am not awake entirely.

Much obliged.

Originally Ravyn took the chain spear because she was to Smoke what Frost was to Sub-Zero, and she emulated his old spear from the old games. Since he didn't have it in MK9, though....I changed the origin to her taking it out of respect of the Shirai Ryu clan, despite her training as a Lin Kuei. Despite the rivalry and bad blood connecting the Lin Kuei to the Shirai Ryu, Ravyn decides to be the oddball and be a little of both. This gets her into a fair amount of shit with Sektor, who already thinks she'll never be a capable assassin.

I believe Andariel had the same inspiration as Khaali, Hindu deities. Which is of course where she gets her name. Sheeva is a play on Shiva. Khaali is a play on Kali. As for the nudity, I think people are fine with it. This is an adult forum for an adults only game. I doubt anyone is sensitive to nudity around here.
