In my opinion, adding Order and Chaos as the remaining realms to the MK universe was the worst thing that has happened to the storyline. It's as if they ran out of ideas, and then decided last minute to add them in the good ol' Light vs Dark fashion.

All characters that accompanied said realms were boring, bland and just plain ridiculous. Havik is probably one of the worst. He doesn't fit at all in the MK universe. Maybe if they just stuck with the Netherrealm, things might be different. But alas, we're stuck with Orderrealm and Chaosrealm... (they even have the most boring realm names I can think of)

It is very unlikely Hotaru will even be considered for DLC, but I've had quite a few ideas for a while and wanted to get them out there, see what you think. I'll follow a similar format as other threads.
Hotaru
Moves
- Designed to disdain and subdue the opponent, such as combo enders involving grapples and cracking limbs backwards. (punch, punch, popping the arm behind the back). Knocking the opponent down fast with many limb breaking moves like the knee popper and hyperextending the elbow.
Specials:
- Lock-Up
Hotaru reaches to his side and throws a glowing object that arrests his opponent's hands behaving like handcuffs, allowing a free hit.
- Jousting Stab
Charging at the opponent with his staff drawn, working similar to Kabal's dash, except the opponent is hit in the chest.
- Magma Flash
Unleashes his magma attack which is ridiculously bright, knocking the opponent back if connected.
- Seize And Desist
A multiple body crack attack, pops the knees out, pops the shoulders and twists the opponent's neck.
X-ray:
- Wraps and chokes his opponent from behind with his staff, showing the throat caving in, still from behind Hotaru then grabs the forehead of the opponent and slams them on their back hard showing their spine shatter.
Fatality:
- Guillotine
Hotaru kicks and breaks both knees of his opponent and uses the Lock-Up move listed above to contain their hands, the opponent now face down, Hotaru then lifts his bladed staff, the Naginata high above his head and in a fatal cut causing decapitation.
Story: (Basic)
- Hotaru stands against Shao Kahn, believing much chaos is being originated from him. On a mission guarding the city of Lei Chen, Hotaru became disgusted with the repeated tarkatan attacks of Shao Kahn's army. The leader of these attacks was Baraka, in an obsessive need to exhibit order, Hotaru followed Baraka ending up on the outside of the mortal kombat tournament.
Entrance:
- Marches into screens view and stands like a guard on attention with his staff at his side.
Mid Round Winpose
- Hotaru says an usual comment of "You must obey order!"
Final Round Winpose
- Puts full body handcuffs on the defeated opponent, and hoists them over his shoulder ready for some jail time.
Design:

- The insect looking armor was very interesting, so I wouldn't change that. But what I would change is Hotaru's self appearance. In the most basic way to explain it, become a germaphobe. Having no hair at all and a very clean appearance.
Alt Attire
- Insect looking armor with the mask down.

Hopefully we will see these two in the next game, pitted against eachother.

I'm seeing repeatedly people saying they don't like Hotaru and wish he was improved. And that's what this thread is about.
I spent a good deal of time considering what I think would make him better and wanted to see what other MK fans thought.
I mean this with all due respect, I wasn't looking for comments on what people think of the current Hotaru, or Seido, or Havik because that's irrelevant to these revamps. I've had an idea of an advanced, almost a futuristic version of handcuffs that can be thrown and latch on to the opponent's arms in my head for ages.
I wish I was an artist/animator, but I'm not.
I really appreciate any that have looked at my ideas.

I can see his X-ray now: He punches you in the ribs, breaking 4 of them, then in the stomach then in the face breaking your skull and you fall, then he punches himself in the face cracking his own skull.
