Would you like a character review of Cerastes? I can post it in here tomorrow for you.

Only if you want to. ^^

I would be delighted to review Cerastes, my good sir

My thanks, then I will await it expectantly. ^^

My review of Cerastes for Jaded-Raven I felt compelled to finish this quickly as I enjoyed reading over him.

Bio: The story telling is pretty solid and easy to follow, I thought it was interesting that you described what it was like to live under Shao Kahn's rule and the taboos of discussing their Edenian heritage. I really like this bio, but I think Cerastes could benefit from an explanation as to why he was sent to the Netherrealm upon death as the character doesn't seem to be a particularly evil or corrupt individual. I like that Cerastes appears to be a wild card in this conflict, overall pretty good story telling.

Fighting style: One of the more unique fighting styles described in this tournament and I love the way Voldo moves. Very well thought out and straight to the point, while still conveying all the relevant information, I like it a lot.

Primary costume: Described with superb detail and his look sounds both unique and eye catching, making him memorable, while still referencing his occupation as a member of the Brotherhood of Shadow.

Alternate costume: Similar thoughts to the above costume, but I happen to find this one to be my favorite, don't take this the wrong way, but it reminded me of S&M gear(which is not a bad thing at all), I like innovative and unique designs and his outfit seems very intricate and I love the usage tusk like spikes.


Special Moves: A nice balance of diverse moves that show off how fluid and agile Cerastes is and puts his Psionic blades to good use, the move description were well written, easy to understand, and enjoyable to read.


X-ray: Another fresh and unique element of your character, similar to his specials moves, a good use of his tool set and easy to picture, I liked it quite a bit.


Match taunts: Establishes Cerastes's personality well, he comes off as really enjoying what he does, almost getting sexual gratification from his actions, a rather interesting protrayal indeed, it caught my attention.

Ending: I liked that even though Cerastes was loyal to Reiko and didn't blindly follow Quan chi, keeping with the wild card vibe I was getting. it really showed off his personality well and his refusal to kill Reiko really strengthens the character. My only issue is how did Quan chi and Shinnok react to this? Did they take up arms against them?

Overall: I enjoyed Cerastes quite a bit, I think he could have benefitted from an explanation of why he was sent to the Netherrealm and a little more info on how Quan Chi and Shinnok reacted to Cerastes disobeying them.

His moveset is unique and fresh, he brings a nice evasive trickster playstyle to the table which is great. I'm also a major fan of his unique and out side the box costumes, original and nothing like we've seen in mK before.

Your attention to detail in explaining his specials and costumes was impressive and easy to follow

Despite some minor issues, Cerastes is a good entry, I just recommend explaining a bit more about his origins (why he went to the Netherrealm). I enjoyed him and he's one of the most unique entries I've read.

I hope my review was helpful.

First off let me say that Daryui, you've done a nice job so far with Marek and Shiku. Shiku is definitely the stronger out of the two; Marek is looking a little plain. Maybe work off the design you have in the belt and add a bit more flair. Of course the colouring will help.

Second off, let me say that the winner of the KaK kontest should get a custom statue made by Syco Collectibles of their entry. No this isn't random promotion, this is in conjunction with all the news that's going on about the exclusive statues Syco is putting up and the suggestion thread for the unique MKO statue.

It really was, thank you. ^^
After having read my own character through and comparing him to other characters, the flaws clearly stood out, but it was too late to change them. I don't know if it would be too cheesy to post a revised version of his bio with the added effects...

Thank you! I will definitely try to make it stand out more..

And I agree. That'd be a a huge honor for the winner.

You're very welcome, and you should post it, this is the perfect thread to post fun facts about your character, updated info, story additions etc.

I'd love to read more about Cerastes.

I think I personally might post an updated visual of Deon Bordeaux, Armageddon KAK just isn't cutting it lol. I need to buy Soul Calibur 4 or use Heromachine or something.

That is partially my fault for not thinking of a less plain look, lol.
And that would definitely be a sweet award.

I guess that's somewhat true :P Maybe Daryui should take some liberties with the short description and add some his own ideas and then from there, you can see what works and what doesn't and then come up with a new, longer physical description.

For the next tourney, I'm going to use a modified version of Krimson's alternate as her primary, and an all new one for her alt.

[Her alternate is the one with the ponytail.]

Yep, sounds good.
I've already come up with a different look for Marek in the next KAK tourney, and it's a tad more descirptive, lol.

And when I get the time, I will makea Krimson avatar for mahself, a Fatality wallpaper, versus poses, etc..

And last but not least,

Edit NVM I figured it out.

Where do you guys find those heromachines? Could you provide a link?

It's a wonderful program, just made a much more detailed look for Deon, though it's faithful to his primary, they have a ton of great tools.

i decided to give a more updated look for Deon Bordeaux this time around, I decided to shrug off his urban gear (the sleveless hoodie and training pants) for an outfit that was more befitting of his agent of the Order of the Finch status and going on missions, opinions encouraged and does anybody like this better than his primary or worse?

There aren't enough customization to make Cerastes look perfect. XD

I think it is an improvement, though I really dislike HeroMachine's style...it makes the updated costume look kinda bad..

Wonder if I should attempt my version of Adsler?!!?!?!?!?!!? I like the creepiness of the character.

Merrick will return. If Rain makes it into MKX his plot gives Merrick some ready made motivation already.

THIS WOULD BE AMAZING!!!!

Very interesting! Can't wait to see what ither new twists are added to Merrick's story..

Well, Rain was adopted by and betrayed the resistance and Merrick was a healer for the resistance so it kind of writes itself
