With his family sword, Soul Reaver, at his side, he intends to unleash his berserker rage at the tournament. What plans does Baldur have for Destro at the tournament? We will have to wait until the KUMITE to find out! Fighting Style: Various medieval sword techniques Weapon: Custom made Great Sword (Soul Reaver) passed down from his family.

Name: Tristram McCullen
Code Name: Bloodwulf Bio: “He doesn’t care about dying, just losing.” Seven years before Alexander McCullen was born, Destro fathered another son, Tristram McCullen. His mother was a gypsy whore who died giving birth to the boy. Tristram was born blind and with a genetic disorder called, Ectrodactyly, sometimes referred to as the “Lobster-Claw Syndrome.” Where most people would call him a monster, Destro called him son. Growing up Tristram was provided with the finest teachers in philosophy, military tactics, history, and science, along with his other studies. Tristram always asked his father why he must learn all these things. Tristram believed he could never lead men into battle or be a great leader with his defects. Destro would just stroke his hair and tell him, “one day you will know why.” On Tristram’s 18th birthday Destro finally revealed to his son the path he was destined for. He told him how his empire, M.A.R.S. Industry, had the technology and resources to replace the things god so cruelly cursed him with; new legs, arms, and the gift of sight. He told him, “Kings, presidents and emperors will bow before you. Armies will cower at the very sight of you. You will be my greatest weapon.” Eager to please his father Tristram went forth willingly. After 64 hours of surgery Tristram was reborn, Bloodwulf. What nature denied him, modern science provided through cybernetic implants. Were once he had two useless hands and arms, now was gifted with four magnificent marvels of modern technology. No more would he be bound to a wheelchair and looked upon as a cripple. Speed and agility were now his allies. Whereas once he was surrounded by darkness, now optic implants showed him the way. After Bloodwulf fully healed Destro brought in the finest war masters and soldiers to teach him. Destro told him, “You have one of the finest minds I have ever known; now we will train your body to be its equal. It’s been 10 years since the procedures were done and the training began. Destro now believes his son is ready to stand by his side. Fighting Style(s): Trained by former Spetsnaz soldiers and Ninjutsu, Aikido and Kendo Masters Weapon(s): four Japanese katana swords Kumite Record: 0-0 Parts List: Head: Wraith Body: RoC Cobra Commander Upper Arms: Star Wars General Grievous Lower Arms: Ironman Mark II Hands: Star Wars Clone Wars ARF Clone Troopers Upper Legs: RoC Firefly Lower Legs: PoC Alley Viper Feet and Swords: Snake Eyes City Strike Work done on the custom: I started by breaking down the figure completely, and then modified all the parts that needed it. After cleaning and washing everything he was completely repainted. There is no original paint showing. I used green stuff and styrene tubes to modify the mask.

Bushmaster intercepted the squad and quickly took three of them out but one stood his ground in a hand to hand fight. As Bushmaster started to get the upper hand an explosion knocked him unconscious and the viper escaped. Later the commander sent word to storm shadow to deal with bushmaster because most of his viper recruits were being sent to the infirmary by Bushmaster.

Name: Dragon
Bio: Living and training around Longhu Mountain, Dragon has become a force within the region judging those who cross his path as they wander the dense forests and rivers. A custom Kwan Dao Wushu Steel was forged and painted to blend in with Dragon and the forest around them so that a victim won't see their death until the last moment. Locals have taken to believing Dragon represents the opposing force to their simple ways of life and try to avoid traveling too deep into the area beyond the main roads connecting villages. As such, Dragon's only companions are a snake he has trained to attack anyone who isn't him and the various weapons & clothing he has taken off the bodies of his victims. Fighting Style(s): Fujian White Crane, Wudang Boxing, Fu Jow Pai Weapon(s): Kwan Dao Wushu Steel, Tekagis x2, Sai x2, Long Sword Kumite Record: 0-0 Parts List: Head: UBP Cobra Commander Torso/Arms/Lower Legs: DVD Serpentor Upper Legs: Pilot Destro Waist belt/Keffiyeh: PoC Storm Shadow Accessories: custom Kwan Dao Wushu Steel, Tekagis (PoC SS), Sais (PoC SS), Long sword (Hardmaster), Hat (Elizabeth Swan PotC3), Snake (DVD Serpentor) Work done on the custom: Full coat of black and then three different greens dry brushed across the body. The Kwan Dao Wushu Steel combines DVD Serpentor's staff split down the center with a wing from Marvel Legends Wasp trimmed down heavily to become a blade. Notes of special interest: The face mask says "Dragon" and the back says "Hate". The Kwan Dao Wushu Steel's snake head is painted to match Dragon's pet snake so one never knows which serpent is coming their way. Last edited by daremo; 01-14-2016 at 11:11 AM.. |

Name: Count Vasco de León
Code Name: El Conquistador Bio: After failing to win the first Kumite, Vasco felt so ashamed that he decided to end it all and kill himself. He went back to his room, fashioned a noose from a rope, threw it over one of the supporting beams and hung himself. As he dangled there, feeling the life escaping from his body he had a vision. He saw himself standing on a mountain of butchered bodies. Other fighters ripped limb from limb and him standing atop, victorious. Just before the last breath escaped from his body the beam snapped and he fell to the ground. As Vasco laid there on his back looking at the broken beam he knew right away what he needed to do. He knew why he was spared. Vasco gathered his belongings and returned to Spain to start the preparation for the next Kumite. During the first Kumite he was fast, but he knew he could be faster. He redesigned his battle gear, trimming away all the fat to give himself full motion and to give himself lightning fast speed. After his gear was completed, he trained and trained. He believes this will be his year. Fighting Style(s): La Verdadera Destreza (Spanish system of fencing), Kendo, Eskrima Weapon(s): Two Bladed Gauntlets called, The Serpent’s Fangs. Kumite Record: 3-1 Parts List: Head: Chronicles of Narnia “King Miraz” Torso, Arms, Legs: Snake Eyes V.48 Feet: Prince of Persia “Setam” Belt: Night Creeper V.11 Gauntlets: Firefly V.22 Body Armor: Star Wars Trooper Work done on the Custom: He was completely broken down and repainted (except for the belt and his eyes). I used an x-acto knife to remove his helmet and sculpted hair using green stuff. I modified the Night Creeper’s armor to just leave the belt. His blades were made from Firefly’s gauntlets, styrene and fodder pieces. Last edited by daremo; 01-14-2016 at 11:13 AM.. |

Name : Euriga Oriotto
Bio: The Oriotto Clan was the very first assassin clan from Japan. they ruled everything and owned everyone at that time. all of this ended when the Arashikage clan emerged, founded by a group of rebel assassins that wanted to bring balance to the country. so then the ancient war started between these two clans. Euriga is the last member of the Oriotto clan, his only goal is to destroy everything about the Arashikage. He wants to find out what happened with him and his memories, and know how the Arashikage exterminate the Oriottos. there are a lot of things Euriga ignored because the person who raised, trained, and taught him about the clan wars was his own uncle, the mastermind behind a plan to finally destroy the arashikage. Euriga is the perfect tool for that work, so he makes his way to the Kumite to face a high ranking member of the Arashikage clan and start the whole Oriotto plan. Fighting Styles: Oriotto kai dragon Weapons: dragon fang katana, left gauntlet shield, Oriotto basic warrior armour, Euriga is trained on a several martial arts including Arashikage fight arts Kumite Record: 0-0 Parts list: head (serpentor) upper arms, torso, lower torso and feet (wraith) upper legs (iron grenadier) lower legs (crimson guard) left hand (MU spider man) right hand (chuckles) work done on the custom: sculpted the hair shoulder armour, chest, lower torso armour, gauntlets, arm protectors, belt and crest, knee protectors, shin guards, upper legs armour. the blade was made out of a chocolate steel bottle and added the sculpted handle. notes of special interest: the most difficult part was to choose the color scheme, I wanted to use blue and silver but that made the custom look a lot like sub zero so I decided to add gold to the scheme and maybe change the blue for purple.
