Adventures in South Town
Adventures in the world of South Town are like adventures in our real world. Of course, the differences
start with the use of powers and the existence of North Town. The fighters will compete in cool tournaments
of their styles, and the ultimate tournament is the King of Fighters, a gritty mixed-style tournament held in
South Town, but one that can yield a lot of glory and fame.
South Town is not one of the largest cities in the world, but it is not a village either, nor is it a place that
justifies major fight by organized crime to control. The power of Geese Howard's criminal group is law in the
back alleys and in the underworld, authorities are manipulated by their bosses.
Nevertheless, South Town has heroes. And many. But few of them are able to overcome all the
challenges and get to face Geese and Big. Fewer still are the ones who have the potential to beat them.
They must either enter the King of Fighters tournament and work their way through the stages, or else
venture out into the streets and bars to face their henchmen and demand the right to a fight against the
heads of the organization.
The race for victory has just begun.

RYO SAKAZAKI
 History: Ryo is the son of Takuma Sakazaki and Ronnet Sakazaki

and the older brother of Yuri Sakazaki. As Ryo was destined to
become Takuma's successor, he began his training as a child. Later
he gained a close friend and training partner when Robert Garcia
entered his dojo. After his mother died in a car accident when he
was 10, his father Takuma left home and left Ryo to take care of
Yuri. Ryo did this by working in construction and continually striving
to defend his dojo. One day his beloved sister was mysteriously
kidnapped and thanks to this, Ryo and Robert decided to look for
her, thus clashing with the criminal world of South Town. After more
battles, Ryo became stronger and began to be called the The
Invincible Dragon. During your adventures you also meet the fighter
King, for whom you have feelings, but do not know how to express
them.
 Appearance: Ryo dresses in traditional Karate clothing, however he

likes to wear bright and flashy colors such as Orange. He has blond
hair and a determined look in his eyes.
 Personality: You are serious during fights and very loyal to your
friend Robert and to your family. You are very determined and
sometimes stubborn, which upsets Yuri. It seems difficult for you to
express your emotions, so you sometimes get into fights with Yuri.
For you, karate is not only a sport and a hobby, but a whole lifestyle.

ROBERT GARCIA
 History: The Italian Garcia family was very wealthy and

prestigious, and Robert did not want to have the easy life of a
millionaire playboy. Robert and Ryo had been raised together, as
brothers, partners and rivals. In contrast to the Tiger that Ryo
resembles when fighting, Robert models his techniques under
the Dragon symbol. The Tiger and the Dragon, considered two of
the most dangerous animals according to ancient Japanese, are
also known to be the fiercest in rivalry. Many of their attacks can
be compared. Robert seems to be stronger than Ryo, however
he lacks speed. His relationship with Yuri is they have some
feelings for each other, but Ryo's proximity makes him avoid
touching on the subject of relationships.

seductive look. He's always well-dressed, has an expensive car

Takuma - whether it's teaching classes, fighting in tournaments,
or saving Yuri. It's time to show off your skills as a fighter and
repay the Sakazakis' generosity! Despite your wealth, you are
not the typical snob one might think you could be. You cherish
friendship and brotherhood above all else. You also seem to be
the adventurous type, and are always up for a party.

- in fact, it was not just ONE humiliation. He is currently away from
South Town, but is still waiting for a chance for revenge.

Expensive and eccentric clothes contrast with his bald head and cynical
smile.
 Personality: You are highly amusing and sarcastic, and you love to
enjoy everything that dirty money can offer you. Beautiful girls, a
limousine, presidential room... However, you also care about your
potential as a fighter, setting aside an hour for your training. He has a

them.

disbanded due to internal problems. Jack picks fights in the back alleys
of South Town to show his superiority and bring more members to his
gang. Until he is defeated by Mr. Big, who, recognizing his strength,
begins to work with him. Jack became one of Big's highest ranking
subordinates, and this gave him freedom to act as he wished. Jack
one day received orders to kidnap a schoolgirl in the Asian quarter
of the city, and he did so, taking the girl to a place away from the
center of South Town. He was then challenged and defeated by
Ryo and Robert, humiliated and with the name of his gang in
the mud, Jack disappeared for a while. Returning a year
later at The King of Fighters tournament to show that he
was still a good fighter. Jack did well in the tournament, but

KING
 History: King was born and lived in France for a long time yet gained fame
after defeating a great Muay Thai champion. She proved herself as a great
fighter, but to avoid trouble and scandals for being a woman, she began to
dress as a man. A few years before the events of Art of Fighting, she suffered
a humiliating defeat when she was found by Jack Turner and his gang. Later,
she was invited by Mr. Big to work in his nightclub. This is how she had her
first encounter with Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia, and Ryo defeated her,
thus discovering her secret by hitting her and tearing her clothes. She went on
with her work and with fighting, and eventually competed in King of Fighters
after money to pay for surgery for her younger brother who was toplegic.
Rumor has it that she has taken a liking to Ryo, however the two are too shy
to confirm them.
 Appearance: King likes to dress as a man, but after she was defeated by Ryo
she began to wear clothes that showed a little more of her femininity.
 Personality: You are elegant, kind, and reliable, but you try to maintain a
posture that hides your femininity, acting how people perceive a boy would
act. You struggle to become more and more resilient and strong, not so much
for the fight itself. She rarely shows her loving feelings near her friends
(because when she does, something wrong usually happens). She always
dressed in men's clothes, but became more and more feminine as time went
by, with an earring, high heels.

YURI SAKAZAKI
 History: She is the youngest daughter of Takuma Sakazaki. At the age of 17

she was kidnapped by Mr. Big's men to force Takuma to obey Mr Big. After
being rescued by Ryo and Robert, the young Yuri wanted to learn
Kyokugen-ryu Karate from her father. Takuma accepted the offer and began
to teach her without the knowledge of Ryo, who did not agree with the
training. Yuri uses the lowest level of Kyokugen-ryu Karate, called Raiou,
even though her father authorized the more advanced training. Yuri believes
that the other forms of Kyokugen are too offensive, so she sticks with Raiou.
She learned quickly, mastering the famous Haoh Shokoken faster than Ryo
and Robert. Now, Yuri ended up enjoying the fight. She finds out that there
will be a new King of Fighters and trains, challenging everyone who comes
along.

THE BIG VILLAIN!
GEESE HOWARD
 History: King of crime in South Town since the early 80's,

he has always been "tolerated" by the police due to his
financial power and the number of henchmen he has. He
was behind Mr. Big's plans to get involved with the
famous Sakazaki dojo. Geese is the son of an American
businessman and an Italian mother, and lived well in the
USA until one day his mother passed away. During this
time he discovered that his father had another family in
Germany, and this made him furious. The following years
are a mystery, but it is known that at the age of 15 he
tried to kill his father, but was stopped by his younger
half-brother Krauser. Humiliated, he returned to America
where he met Tung Fu Rue, the master of the Hakyaku
Seiken. He then became his disciple, and met Jeff
Bogard, who became his best friend. The years went by
and some traumatic events ended up causing Geese to
abandon his master and swear death to Jeff. Since then
he has developed his skills by mixing what he learned
from Tung Fu Rue with Aikido moves. Years later he tried
to use Takuma Sakazaki to kill Jeff, but unfortunately for
him, Ryo, Takuma's son, got in the way of his plans.
Geese then lured Jeff into a trap and killed him with his
own hands. Since then he has taken over as leader of the
South Town Mafia, and every year he organizes the King
of Fighters Tournament in order to recruit prominent
fighters or to annihilate possible rivals. A few years later,
Terry defeated him, and everyone thought he would have
died, but he only fell into a coma, returning a few years
later to his rightful place.
 Appearance: A tall, strong, blond man who wears
traditional aikido clothing. Even with his Western ancestry
Geese often uses a lot of Japanese and Chinese culture
in his home and ways of life.
 Personality: You are mean and ambitious, and you
believe that nobody can stop you, but Terry is still a
problem. That is why you still plan revenge. You like the
fast and modern life, and especially knowing that the people around you are afraid of you. You hate any
form of insubordination, from a grumbler to outright disobedience, and you punish in the strictest way
possible.

THE HEROES
TERRY BOGARD
 History: Terry and his brother Andy were street kids who were
adopted by Jeff Bogard, a prominent South Town fighter. The
most famous disciple of Tung Fu Rue, but Terry's life was never
easy, and one day he saw his father murdered by Geese
Howard, the biggest gangster in town. Swearing revenge, he and
his brother, guided by Tung Fu Rue, his father's master, split up
to seek to improve their own fighting skills, returning to the city
only 10 years later. Terry followed the path of the lone wolf,
adopted no home, no bonds, and learned to fight by mixing the
movements of the opponents he faced with teachings from
eventual companions on the fighting circuit. Eventually, he added
his own modifications to the moves he learned, forming a unique
and unpredictable style. After years of practice, Terry and Andy
meet again in South Town and decide to enter a tournament
created by Geese the famous The King of Fighters, at this point
he and his brother were only looking for revenge. The brothers
eventually meet Joe Higashi, a Japanese Muay Thai champion
who joins them on their journey. During the tournament, Terry
defeats Geese and manages to free South Town from the
clutches of the gangster. Years later he will have to face other
great villains, such as Geese's brother Krauser.
 Personality: Initially, you can be considered a rather relaxed and

lazy fighter, especially when compared to your brother Andy, but
wherever you go, you are the central focus of children. In battle
you seek not only revenge, truth, and justice, but also friendship
(like Kim). You never seem to be satisfied with your skill level.
This could be because of your ally and rival, Andy.
 Appearance: Terry is tall and blond, and ties his hair in a ponytail. He wears a red jacket, but without
sleeves, and jeans. He has a strong personality and is often charming to others with his confidence,
cheerfulness, and willpower.

skills, returning to the city only 10 years later. Andy, unlike his brother,
followed a more traditional path. He learned several martial arts,
focusing on Koppo-ken, which is derived from Chinese Kenpo (Kung
Fu). During his fights around the world he met a prominent Muay Thai
fighter, Joe Higashi, with whom he developed a strong rivalry. Later
Joe helped him in his revenge, and together with his brother Terry they
participated in The King of Fighters to obtain his revenge.
 Appearance: Unlike his brother, you are always dressed impeccably,

even casually. In combat you usually let your long hair down and wear
a white suit which gives you a lot of freedom of movement.

feelings with others, and you are a peaceful man except when it
comes to Geese, for whom you harbor a mortal hatred. You are very
stubborn and impulsive, when you get nervous, rage takes over you,

avoid showing them.

revenge, but accompanies the Bogard brothers for the challenge that
their journeys provide.

fashion by wearing fight shorts and wrist and leg bands.

LAWRENCE BLOOD
 History: A world-renowned bullfighter, easily able to gracefully

dodge bull charges and kill them with one stroke of his sword.
Few people suspect what lies behind Laurence's incredible
career. From an early age, Laurence's family had close ties to the
Earl of Strolheim. Having served the Krauser family for
generations, the Blood clan always played the role of faithful
followers. Laurence did not forget this vow and served the last
successor of the Strolheim heir in exchange that Krauser himself
would support Laurence's training as a bull fighter. The trade fared
well, as Krauser had a respected and feared bodyguard in the
form of Laurence, and Laurence himself earned a name for
himself in the bull arenas. Always the man who knows how to pay
his debts, Laurence answers Krauser's call when the Dark
Emperor decides to host the second King of Fighters tournament
in hopes of finding the man who defeated Geese Howard in the
first tournament. Laurence was in charge of protecting Castle
Strolheim, while Krauser was thrashing worthy opponents to prove
his power. Laurence was not counting on the power of the Lone
Wolf. Although Laurence was a formidable opponent, he was
finally defeated and had to witness the downfall of his lord. After
Krauser's defeat, Laurence disappears from the bull scene,
possibly to serve his master Krauser for all eternity to make up for
his incompetence.

who zealously took to his new duties for Krauser. Disregarding the
feats of others, you raise your own skills and abilities above
others, as you feel your noble heritage has earned you a place

kill bulls for pleasure.

years old, a boy tried to murder his father, this boy was none other
than Geese his half-brother. Surprisingly, Krauser defeated Geese,
but was prevented from killing him by his father. When Krauser was

family. Elza also passed away at the same time. When Wolfgang
was 16, he challenged his father to a duel which resulted in
Rudolph's death. Since then he became the lord of Strongheim

RYUJI YAMAZAKI
 History: Yamazaki was a young orphan on the streets of Okinawa.

His life was utterly miserable and boring - with American troops
constantly patrolling his city - until he met a Yakuza (Japanese
mafia) boss named Sorimachi. Impressed, Yamazaki left his town
and joined the crime syndicate. Eventually, he worked for the man
he admired treating him as a surrogate father and found happiness
for the first time in his life. Unfortunately, Yamazaki's restlessness
took a heavy toll during a fateful business trip to Osaka alongside his
boss. They were caught in an ambush by a rival gang and thereafter
their boss Sorimachi was tortured and killed. The shock of
Sorimachi's death gave birth to Yamazaki's insane alter ego.
Although he has little recollection of his past after this incident, he
remembers with certainty that he murdered his boss's rival and fled
Japan for Hong Kong. He remains an influential middleman, arms
dealer, and drug dealer having with Kowloon Walled City as his base
of operations. He is usually at odds with Hon Fu, who tries to catch
and arrest him in the act. Ten years later (1995), he joined the
Chinese mafia and was hired by Jin Chonrei and Jin Chonshu to
protect them and the scrolls of immortality.
 Appearance: Ryuji likes to dress always in black. Besides that he
has a punk hairdo with colored hair. He has a large stature that

don't even bother taking one or two blows to make your opponent suffer! You use dirty tricks like fencing
your sharp knife and kicking sand in your opponent's eyes. You don't have any patience, but you love to
simulate calmness so that your rage grows stronger and stronger.
 Yamazaki constantly fights with his hands in his pockets, to humiliate his opponents. Fighting this way
carries some penalties: the fighter will have -2 Speed on his punches and lunges, as well as - 2 Soak on
his blocks. He may give up doing this at any time, but if he manages to fight the entire combat this way,
he will gain +4 Glory in case of victory. The opponent defeated in this way will lose -2 Glory in addition to
his usual losses.

JIN CHONSHU E JIN CHONREI
 History: Chonrei is the elder twin brother of Chonshu. And when

they were six years old, they lost their parents to an illness. Before
his father died, he spoke of Qin Wang Long, one of the family's
ancient ancestors. Long was a celebrated general of the great Qin
Shi Huang, who single-handedly killed 1,000 men by the hand.
Their father convinced the brothers that they had the same blood
as this warrior and they soon passed on. Left to fend for
themselves, the brothers worked together to support themselves
and live up to their family name. As they grew older, they also
began to hate other people. When they were fourteen, they were
beaten by other children and left in a near-death state. It was then
that ancestral spirits over 200 years old incarnated in their bodies,
giving them uncommon strength. The spirit that possessed

in battle. The spirit possessing Chonshu was Qin Hai Long, who
was also Kong's younger brother. During the Qin Dynasty, they
created the "Qin Book of Secrets" (known in modern times as
"The Forbidden Scrolls"). Within these scrolls lies the soul of
Wang Long, who is actually Kong's son. Knowing that they cannot
exist in this realm without these scrolls, the spirits seek them out
to resurrect Wang Long and his original bodies. The brothers
know that the scrolls are in South Town and send Ryuji Yamazaki
to research the town, however several other characters are also
researching the scrolls for different reasons.

frivolities and resolves things as quickly as possible. He does not like to make much effort, and is

hurt, he gets angry and won't stop until he gets revenge.

CHAPTER 3:
GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES
Ten years after Geese Howard's death (in the year

2006), Southtown became a more peaceful town.
However, during the events of the NESTS saga,
the town is destroyed and rebuilt as Second
Southtown. A new fighting tournament called "King
of Fighters: Maximum Mayhem" begins in the
area, and several characters related to the fighters
from the old era of the King of Fighters
tournaments participate within it.
Organized by Kain R. Heinlein, brother-in-law of
Geese Howard. Second Southtown is a set of
reconstructed neighborhoods within old
Southtown, which became the scene of many
organized fights and the gang fights. These
neighborhoods have become places of great fame
and status.
During the events of this tournament, Kain
would try to liquidate all of his criminal rivals in the
city in order to conquer the entire city. During the
events of this tournament Rock ends up defeating
him, but is convinced by him to seek his destiny,
thus abandoning Terry.
61
The Villains
KAIN R. HEINLEIN
 History: He is the mysterious host of the tournament. His birthday is on February

16, he is 26 years old, 183cm tall and 76kg. Being the younger brother of Marie
Heinlein (Geese Howard's deceased wife, and thus Rock Howard's mother), he is
Rock's uncle. He had a difficult life of poverty, being protected by his friend Grant,
and abandoned by his sister Marie, who went to live with Geese. His ambition for
power was born from his experiences on the streets of Southtown, where he saw
extreme acts of violence, where even children were not spared. He was adopted
by the family of a gang leader, Don Papas, at the age of eight. Growing up, he
betrayed his adoptive father and became the leader of the gang, expanding its
business to a level never imagined by the members. One of his ambitious dreams
is to declare Southtown independent from the USA, and to found a nation there,
totally exposed to violence, where the weak are dominated by the strong. He is a
calm person, with an impressive willpower, careful, yet also a megalomaniac. His
fighting style is Ankoku Shinkuuken, in which he uses acrobatic blows and adds
flames to his attacks. In the outskirts Kain resides at his dark palace, a formidable
mansion demonstrating his power and natural wealth, in the center of the mansion
is a large hall, to contemplate the memories of his beloved sister. Near the
staircase Kain challenges his opponents in a beautiful arena.
 Personality: You are calm, careful, and a serious man; you are also very ambitious, but not a
megalomaniac. Your antagonism stems from you being a crime boss to impose your moral ideals, the
value of life and your life, and not anything close to greed, evil or control, as your geisha's son-in-law
would be.
 Appearance: Kain is always well-groomed. He likes light clothes that give him a more "benevolent"
appearance. He has long blond hair like Rock's, and terribly frightening eyes.
Style: Ankoku Shinkuu-ken School: The streets and the Don Papas gang. Concept: Gang leader. Signature:

obscure fighting style known as Ankoku Karate. He was born on
January 8, is 201cm 105 tall, and weighs 105kg. He is Kain R.
Heinlein's best friend and his personal bodyguard. Although they are
not brothers, his and Kain's names were inspired by the biblical
characters, sons of Adam and Eve. As a child, he protected Marie and
Kain, and as an adult, he became their bodyguard and partner, taking
the name Grant. A few years before the tournament, Grant saved Kain
from being shot, but the shot hit him near the heart. He recovered,
however, the bullet was almost impossible to remove, and it gets closer
and closer to his heart, which makes him live each day as if it were his
last, and live in search of the biggest battle of his life. He made a pact
with an entity of the shadows, to obtain the power of Ankoku Karate
(Karate of Darkness). His attacks are shrouded in darkness. He
proclaims himself "The Martyr of Might." He is defeated by Terry, and
shatters like glass after losing. Red Skull Cave is an island little known
even to the residents of Southtown. There is a secret temple where
there is a cult that worships the red skull in the form of a jewel, is
currently dominated by Grant, and uses the center of the hall as an
arena. When it appears, Grant is conjured into a pile of stones and a
skull in the center.
 Personality: You show no mercy. You are calm and maintain composure at all times, becoming honorable
to anyone who has the courage to face you.

Some white hair can be seen behind it.

TERRY BOGARD

from Fatal Fury, but older and more experienced. Now he has a pet monkey,
named Ukee. In his last encounter with Geese, the latter falls from the top of a
tower, leaving behind his son, Rock. Terry then feels guilty for the accident,
and decides to train Rock. Terry no longer wears his trademark cap in the
series, as he gave it to Rock.
 Role Play: Initially, you can be considered a rather relaxed and lazy fighter,
especially when compared to his brother Andy, but where you get to, you are
the central focus of children. In battle you seek not only revenge, truth, and
justice, but also friendship (like Kim). You never seem to be satisfied with your
skill level. This could be because of your ally and rival, Andy.
 Appearance: Terry is tall and blond with shoulder-length hair. He wears an

aviator jacket over a white t-shirt and the gloves that his father gave him.

ROCK HOWARD
 He is the son of Geese Howard and Marie Heilen (sister of Kain,

organizer of the Garou: Mark of the Wolves Tournament). Rock had a
life of poverty with his mother, he was born on June 24th. His mother
died when he was 7 years old. He hated his father, because when his
mother was sick, she went to ask him to help her with medical
treatment, and that Marie wanted to see him. Geese said it was none
of his business, and told the boy to go away. That same night his
mother died. He saw the final fight between Terry and his father, when
Geese decided to let go of his enemy's hand and fall from the roof of
the building. He felt no hatred, only loneliness and joy in knowing that
the man who would not help his mother was dead. After this, Terry
raises him as a son and teaches him martial arts. His fighting style is a
mixture of Terry's and Geese's. He first learned boxing, karate, kung
fu, kick boxing, and street fighting. From his father, he inherited
Kobojutsu techniques. Rock is a formidable bass player, and can copy
any song he hears.
In the Live House "Old Line" area, Rock spends his nights at a concert
hall, playing in a band, and when he is challenged, he usually fights in
the parking lot of this venue. Being Geese's son is one of Rock's
greatest burdens, and he fears that the dark side that his father had,
will take hold of him as well. He is childhood friends with Kim's sons,
Jae Hoon and Dong Hwan. His Honda motorcycle is one of his
passions, along with the cap Terry gave him. Rock is the finalist of the tournament in which the
characters participate during the King of Fighters Maximum Mayhem tournament, where he faces his
uncle Kain. Kain tells Rock that he organized the Garou: Mark of The Wolves tournament just so he could
bring him closer to him. His uncle wanted his help in his plans, so Rock decides to help him, with his
uncle's promise to give him information about his mother, who he says is still alive. Rock has moves from
his father, such as Reppuken, Double Reppuken, and Raising Storm, and variations of his master's
moves, such as Power Dunk, Rising Tackle, and Burn Knuckle.
 Appearance: Rock is a thin boy with beautiful blond hair. He likes to dress in a red jacket that reminds
him a little of the clothes that Terry used to wear. But with a bolder and more modern design.
 Personality: You are a shy man with an inner conflict. Normally, you are quiet and are usually nervous
around women, with the exception of Hotaru Futaba. You are also a childhood friend of Kim Kaphwan's

the Reeling Knights), and is somewhat similar to Savate. She adds the
element of wind to her attacks. Instead of a ship, the Lillien Knights use a

ambitious about money, however, and is seen growing angry at the Lillien

Ikari Warriors, a mercenary tomilitary force that could support
his revenge. Gaining prestige and resources he entered the
1994 event known as the King of Fighters and contributed to
the death of his enemy Rugal. Later, he investigated the
powers behind Rugal's Omega form and found out about the
legend of the Orochi. During his investigations, he found
Leona, a girl who had killed all of her family when she was
possessed by the power of the Orochi. He decided to adopt her
and train her as a kind of weapon, but he became fond of her
and adopted her as his daughter, including his surname.

Commander Heidern and often follow his orders to enter
King of Fighters tournaments. In 1996 he was introduced to

investigation of Geese Howard. However, while participating
in one of the tournaments, Leona attempts suicide and he
tells her that even though she has no family, she is not
alone. During the NESTS saga, Ralf and his squad are
invited to participate in the tournaments to investigate what
is happening behind the scenes. They are also introduced
to a young soldier named Sally, but who due to her
incredible whip skills ends up nicknamed Whip. In the Ash
saga, he and his team search for the origins of a mysterious
airship. Due to the Orochi seal being broken, Leona

getting her out of control again.

is currently under the orders of Commander Heidern and
Colonel Ralf Jones. Previously, he was a spy before joining the
service. Clark is known to be a focused and loyal soldier who
specializes in gathering information for his missions. He
apparently wears his sunglasses to hide a scar in the middle of
his forehead that was caused by Ralf playing with his knives
during a mission in the equatorial jungles. Like the other Ikari
Warriors, Clark is usually required to enter every tournament by
Heidern. He continues to play a supporting role in Ralf's
decisions and often defends the views of his superior. He and
Ralf help Leona overcome her dramatic past in late 1997. In
1999, his team is asked to investigate the NESTS cartel. They
were also previously introduced to a new recruit, Whip . She
immediately took a liking to Clark as he seemed more
professional than Ralf. When she disappears in late 2000, he
joined the search effort for her whereabouts in 2001. After the
events of the Ash saga, Heidern orders Ralf, Clark and Whip to
investigate and find evidence of the true creators of the
tournament. And Clark will not give up until he has
accomplished his mission.
 Personality: In contrast to the loud and outgoing Ralf, Clark is

taciturn and rarely shows much emotion. However, a
melancholy streak is hinted at, and his loyalty to his companions
is never questioned. He is known to sometimes poke fun at
Ralf's stubborn and serious nature.

military uniform, including his cap. Always serious, he smiles
sometimes and jokes from time to time. On his left hand he has

LEONA HEIDERN
 History: Leona was born in an obscure village where she lived

with her family. When she was a child, Goenitz came to her
home and demanded to speak with, Gaidel, her father and
village leader. He asked Gaidel to join him in his duties to serve
Orochi. However, Gaidel refused, since he and his family liked
peace and not the violent tendencies created by Orochi's blood.
Furious, Goenitz awakens the blood revolt in Leona who,
overcome by madness, kills everyone in the village. She is later
found by Heidern, who was investigating Rugal's strange
powers. Adopting her as his daughter, he raised her to be a
perfect killing weapon, however he ended up creating fatherly
feelings for her. In 1996 she received her first mission as a
member of the Ikari Warriors, to enter the King of Fighters
tournament under Colonel Ralf Jones. Her mission: Investigate
Geese Howard. During the final events of the tournament
Goenitz confronts her and reminds her about her Orochi
heritage. Eventually she remembers her past and during the
semifinals of the '97 tournament she has another Orochi-
induced blood revolt. She often feels lonely, but is comforted by
the new family she has found with the Ikari mercenaries. Since
her suicide attempt, Leona decides to take control of her own
Orochi blood, using this only when the situation calls for it, until
then she has not had a new blood revolt.
 Personality: You have difficulty expressing yourself not knowing

how to act outside of combat or a mission. You live under the
fear of losing control and hurting your friends because of your
Orochi blood. Apart from Ralf, Whip, Clark, and Commander
Heidern, you don't talk to anyone.
 Appearance: Leona is a beautiful young woman. She wears her

military uniform, with shorts instead of pants. She has blue hair
on a face that shows a strong personality, but a fragile girl
inside. Leona has green eyes.

older sister made by NESTS. During her childhood she came
to believe that Krizalid was her brother, but she escaped from
captivity and began to lead a life as a mercenary and assassin.
She soon came to the attention of Heidern, who offered her a
place on the Ikari Warriors team. She then entered the King of
Fighters tournament to investigate NESTS, and took
advantage of this to get information about her and her brother.
After discovering the truth, she abandons the Ikaris and joins
K'Dash with the goal of destroying NESTS. After the
organization's downfall she meets up again with Ralf and Clark
who convince her to return "home".

VANESSA
 History: Vanessa is seemingly an ordinary housewife who has a discreet job

as a mercenary agent. Initially under the orders of Commander Ling, Vanessa
and her colleague Seth are hired with the job of entering the King of Fighters
tournament, held by Ling himself. They must follow in the footsteps of the
NESTS cartel, which Ling and his agency have pursued. The two agents
setote from each other with Vanessa recruiting the prime suspects, K ' and
Maxima, as her teammates. She also scouts the talents of Mexican wrestler
Ramon to complete her team. Her goal from then on is to observe the
activities of the NESTS defectors based on Ling's orders. She becomes a free
agent after Ling's defeat, and ends up being hired later by Heidern as part of
supporting the Ikari group. She often teams up with Ramon and Seth to
participate in their investigations into The King of Fighters tournament. During
one mission, she turns out to be an old acquaintance of Blue Mary's ex-fiancé,
Butch.

THE VILLAINS
RUGAL BERNSTEIN
 History: Rugal, the mere mention of this name causes a

fear and dread in both the political world and the fighting
circuit. Rugal was an influential arms dealer who
operated aboard the aircraft carrier Black Noah. For
those who opposed his will, he would beat them and
then preserve their bodies in liquid metal as part of his
horrific trophy room. He used to work with his younger
brother, but they parted ways due to a conflict of interest.
When Rugal was still young, he was attacked and
defeated by Groetiz, but it caught his attention, and he
gave Rugal a small portion of Orochi's power. Since
then, he has a bionic eye to replace the one he lost in
the fight. Sometime later, in 1986, Rugal wanted to test
his power, and invaded a secret military base in Brazil,
arriving there he murdered everyone he found. The only
survivor of the massacre of about fifty men was Heidern,
who lost his right eye during the attack. At that time, he
was too displeased with the strength of his victim to add
him to his "collection," so as a form of punishment, he left Heidern alive, but killed his wife and son as a
form of humiliation. Before 1994, he recruited two secretaries: Mature and Vice. With their help, Rugal
organized a King of Fighters tournament, to find worthy opponents to test his powers. During the
invitation phase, Saisyu Kusanagi came to Black Noah and challenged Rugal. Although Rugal won the
battle, he did not kill him, preferring to brainwash him. Rugal has 2 children, Rose and Adelheid, but they
are still children during the events of this tournament he created.
 Personality: You are a cruel and powerful man who will kill anyone who gets in your way. You believe
yourself to be a god among men. Due to your arrogant nature, you do not accept defeat, preferring death
to accepting it.
 Appearance: Rugal is a tall, strong man. He has straight blond hair and a black mustache. He wears fine
clothes, even when fighting, sometimes only removing his blazer. He always has a smile on his face.

HEROES:
ATHENA ASAMIYA
 History: Athena is a young high school girl in Japan. During her

childhood she discovered that she possessed strange psychic
powers. It is said that these powers actually come from her ancestor
from 2000 years ago, Princess Athena, but later it is discovered that
she is actually the reincarnation of the Old Goddess, and therefore
her symbol is the Phoenix.
Together with Kensou this power made her a "heroine of light", a
warrior to fight for justice.
Under the tutelage of Chin Gentsai she joined Kensou and faced
various problems, protecting her city from the forces of Shiguma.
She has spent most of her life isolated in the mountain training of
China. Her team participates in the tournaments as a way to test
their training and to save the population from an apparent future
threat. Other times they enter to disrupt the forces of evil, living up to
their title of "heroes of light". In 1996 Chin seemed disturbed by the
energy he felt and did not want his students to be involved with it,
however Athena surprised him and managed to excel during the
stages of the competition.
Their success in the tournament is shown the following year, where
they receive a mountain of fan letters. Athena in particular got a
boost of popularity and stardom. The following year, however, Chin
rejects his offer to join King of Fighters, as he doesn't want his
students to forget the purpose of training. However Athena shows
him an inspiring letter from Kaoru Watabe, the contents of the letter
help convince Chin that the Psycho Soldiers' fame can make people
better. Convinced that his students are improving, he allows them to
join once again.
In the following years Athena becomes a famous pop star who is
climbing higher and higher up the charts with her concerts.

Iori's Team - Team of Villains
IORI YAGAMI
 History From childhood, Iori Yagami was trained to kill the members
of the Kusanagi clan. Growing up amidst hatred he was practically
programmed for this and that was the reason for his entry into the
tournament. Like the Kusanagis, Iori can use the flames of his fire.
However, his flames are a different color... They are purples! That's
because years ago the Yagami clan (formerly called Yasakami)
made a pact with the Orochi, and now the fire the Yagami have is a
different color and strength than the Kusanagi. But this brings a
problem: the flames that Iori uses are poisonous to humans. And
for the Yagami this is no exception! Most members of the clan die
young as a result.
 Appearance: He is tall, red-haired, unkempt, and looks like a punk.

With a cruel look and a thick voice, Iori often frightens his weak-
minded opponents.
 Personality: You are serious and even though everyone sees you
as a man who brings destruction wherever he goes, you actually
hate violence and that is why you always try to end a conflict as
quickly as possible. You much prefer to spend your quiet days and
nights playing with your band in the local pubs. You see that killing
Kyo is the only way to end this cycle of hatred between the clans.

108
VICE
 History: After the death of her boss Rugal, Vice enters the King of
Fighters tournament along with her partner Mature. Apparently she
hates the Kusanagi Clan, but it is later revealed that she is a
servant of Orochi and her work for Rugal was just an excuse to
spy on him. Even staying by Iori's side is a cover. It all started
when Rugal discovered a mysterious source of power during one
of his business projects. Vice and Mature were professional
assassins who were sent by the Orochi Clan to keep an intimate
eye on him. They are both members of the Eight Hakeshus Class,
Orochi blood warriors led by the Four Divine Kings. But that didn't
stop Iori from killing her, just like he did Mature.
 Personality: You are much more violent than Mature, and you
seem to act very spontaneously. What you like, you like, and what
you dislike, you hate. You can probably be compared to a cat, in
this respect. You love conflict and violence, and it is very obvious
that you are a terribly good fighter.
 Appearance: Vice is of medium height. She has short black hair,

revealing her assassin personality. She wears dark clothes, and
red colors as well, showing her taste for killing others.

MATURE
 History: Until the '96 tournament, Mature was Rugal's secretary, and was
not at the tournament to fight, but to handle the pretotions. Although she
may seem weaker in comparison to Vice, Mature has a lot of agility,
and very powerful punches. Mature is definitely the team's strategist.
During the tournament, she became interested in the power that Iori
carries, a mixture between the powers of the Yasakani clan and the
sacred Hakkesshu of Orochi. She and Vice decided to fight with him
against Goenitz, one of the Four Divine Kings and Guardian of the
Winds. With this Mature planned to betray his support, but he did not
even suspect this. However, Iori killed her before he could do
anything.
 Personality: You are the most mature of your team. You take great
pleasure in working with machines, and your insetoble partner in
tournaments is your lap-top. You love snowboarding, and your cold smile
hides a very fearful desire behind your beautiful lips. In fights, she prefers to
stay close to her opponent, so that she can launch her fast attacks.
 Appearance: Mature is of medium height and has blond hair. She has a very
distinguished face, and a contemptuous look. He wears classy clothes and
even acts this way during fights.

THE NEW FACES TEAM
CHRIS
 History: With Yashiro and Shermie, Chris enters the Fighter Tournament for the
first time. He is the lead singer of a band, and also the mascot. Chris especially
hates people who treat him like a child, like those who casually touch his hair.
This could be due to the fact that he always accompanies Yashiro and Shermie,
and wants to be treated as mature. He is very fond of Yashiro and Shermie, and
is also one of the Divine "Four Kings" of the Orochi clan. His domain is in fire,
and he can call down flames like Kyo and Iori. As an Orochi, Chris can be a
great threat. His innocence as a child makes him an inhuman fighter. Chris is
usually considered extremely intelligent, and does not need to educate himself. It
is also his intelligence (and ability to read the thoughts of others) that makes him
think the human race ignorant and idiotic, and deserving of extinction under the
power of the Orochi. He has the innocent face of a child and the cruel brutality of
a teenager within him, and is known to be the type to kill another with an angel's
smile. Despite his feminine looks and tender age, Chris is definitely no child!
 Personality: You are mature and serious, and you hate it when people treat you
like a child. To do so is to become your enemy. You are very fond of Yashiro and
Shermie, and you know your great destiny, for the mighty Orochi is in your body.
 Appearance: Chris is short, as he is very young. He has brown hair and is

always seen surrounded by flames, his forte. He wears strange but common
clothes for his profession, and always has a sarcastic smile on his face.

111
SHERMIE
 History: Shermie, the mystery girl from TKOF '97, is a member of the
New Faces Team. She is part of Yashiro and Chris' band, and plays
keyboards in it. Although the primary reason for their entry into the
tournament is to publicly humiliate Iori, Shermie seems to lead a
normal life, and even during fights, finds time to talk on her cell phone.
Despite her somewhat provocative appearance, Shermie is an
excellent fighter. Her long legs become lethal during battles. In one of
her special attacks, she puts her opponent between her thighs, and
slams him into the air! With a wide arsenal of throws, Shermie is
literally an explosive grenade. Although she seems to be a girl with a
very cheerful nature, her affinity for any other fighter is extremely low.
And this is for a good reason. Shermie is one of the Divine "Four
Kings" of the Orochi clan.
 Personality: You are showy and fun with your electricity prowess, and
you don't give a damn what others think of you. You wear clothes that
show off your stunning legs and love to kick and trap opponents with
them. Without a doubt, you are more extroverted than your own
element!
 Appearance: Shermie is tall, and has the pose of a model. She wears
very sexy clothes and has a very provocative gait. She is always seen
trying to appear and wearing a lot of strange outfits.

YASHIRO NANAKASE
 History: Yashiro is the leader of the New Faces Team, and the great
confidence in his abilities makes him seem arrogant at times, but he is
definitely having a good time in the ring! He and his teammates
(Shermie and Chris) entered the Tournament to avenge their humiliation
by a competing team, led by Iori. Like Shermie, Yashiro is one of the
"Four Divine Kings" of Orochi; the Guardian of Earth's powers. What
began as a personal conflict with Iori has turned into a sacrificial
ceremony for Orochi. Yashiro says he travels as a hobby, but it is
known that his travels were actually to seek out Chris and
Shermie, the other two Divine Gods. The leader of the Eight
Warriors of Orochi was not Goenitz, but Yashiro. In the human
community, Yashiro lives as the leader of the band, known as
C.Y.S., which he is the guitarist. It is quite obvious that Yashiro
is a strong fighter, and most of his attacks do enormous
damage. However, his lack of speed can be relatively critical
at times. And the lack of long-range power can be a bad
characteristic of this fighter.
 Personality: You are calm and serious (by a guitarist's

standards, of course...), but in combat you change
completely! Especially when the blood rushes; then, poor the opponent... But being the leader of the
Kings of Orochi, you behave as you should, being a great commander and knowing everything about
what the Kings should do.
 Appearance: Yashiro is tall, strong, and menacing. He has white hair, and wears very exotic clothing,
clearly showing his profession. Even his manner reveals the leader that Yashiro is.

GOENITZ
 History: The last of the Four Divine Gods of Orochi,

Goenitz is the wielder of the powers of the wind. Gifted
with great power, he arrived pretending to be the leader of
the Orochi Warriors, but in reality this is Yashiro. It was
Goenitz who gouged out Rugal's right eye when he tried
to conquer the Orochi's power. He, knowing the fate of
humans who have Orochi blood in their veins, let Rugal be
conquered by power. It was Goenitz, too, who sent his two
secretaries, Mature and Vice, to watch Rugal and, soon
after he died, to watch Iori Yagami. He already seems to
be an old acquaintance of Chizuru and his sister, who,
incidentally, was killed by him. Like the other Divine Gods,
Goenitz has the power to awaken, in the one who has the
blood of Orochi, the blood fury. That is what he did to
Leona, when she was still a child, and she ended up
killing her parents. The only way to make him go is to seal the power of Orochi by uniting the Kusanagi,
Yagami and Kagura families. That done, he left. However, he had accomplished his mission...
 Personality: You know about your power, and believe that you will never be defeated. You just want to do
your duty normally, without humans interfering. In fights, you fight anyway, because you have all kinds of
blows for all kinds of opponents.
 Appearance: Goenitz is tall, has blond hair, and wears heavenly clothes. He always looks like this (but
this is not so true, as he has only been seen a few times). He acts in a sovereign way and shows that he
knows everything.

OROCHI
 History: Orochi was considered an evil entity, a messenger from

the gods to purify the world of the human race. Many fight
against this, however, one thing is certain: Orochi possesses
incredible power, able to defeat any human with ease. He
first appeared 1800 years ago in the human world, where
he began to cause destruction and death. The world
was shrouded in darkness until three clans, the
Kusanagi (the sword that seals), the Yasakami
(the protection that holds) and the Yata (the
mirror that watches) faced Orochi, ready to
sacrifice their lives to eradicate the entity.
Despite the incredible and devastating power
displayed by Orochi, the Yasakami managed to
control him, while the Kusanagi eliminated him by sending a few
blasts of fire. Once Orochi was defeated, the Yata clan imposed a
seal on Orochi's power that would never allow him to return to the
world again. However, Orochi planned revenge, and tried the
Yasakami clan, which was the most troublesome. The Yasakami
thought it would be a good idea if they had Orochi's power so they
could overcome the power of the Kusanagi, the clan considered
more powerful at the time. So, Orochi made an unholy pact with
the Yasakami, who were granted a portion of his power in their
blood, and turned their flames into purple flames of destruction.
This caused the two clans to go to war, a war that exists to this
day. Orochi was held captive until 1986. In that year, one of
Orochi's Four Divine Kings, Goenitz, killed the heir of the Yata clan,
and broke the seal that was imposed on Orochi's power. Still weak
and unable to display his full power, Orochi sought a host for his
power, which was found in the figure of a child, a young Divine King
named Chris. Not long after the seal was broken, a very rich man
named Rugal Bernstein, whose ambition was to be the most powerful
man in the world, sought to claim his share of Orochi's power, and
although Goenitz stopped him, he got some of that power, which is why he was killed in 1995, thus
proving that mere mortals cannot withstand Orochi's power. Goenitz also did not live long enough to be
Orochi's guardian, and his task was taken over by the other three Divine Kings of Orochi: Yashiro
Nanakase, Shermie, and Orochi's host, Chris.
 Personality: You know that the pathetic humans Kusanagi, Yagami, and Yata will never defeat you. Not
even with the help of other heroes, like Terry Bogard and Ryo Sakazaki, will that happen, because you
are the best. In fact, what you want most is for everyone to face you at the same time, so you can have
fun... and get revenge!
 Appearance: Orochi is tall and slender, representing great agility. His gaze is as blank as it is frightening,
and his strength is greater than all of these put together. He wears white pants, and has white hair
(representing his power). Orochi also has black drawings on his body, of unknown origin.

THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE TOURNAMENT
Japan Team - Team of heroes

KYO KUSANAGI
 History: Being of the Kusanagi Clan, Kyo can use red flames. His
strength as a fighter and natural ability to use flames have
compelled him to take the position of a "dragon slayer" thus
representing the Kusanagi Clan in this generation of fighters.
Actually that is what his family name, Kusanagi, means. His rival
is Iori, of the Yagami clan. Since time immemorial, Kusanagis and
Yagamis have fought battles, and the rivalry of the two clans has
continued for years. Now the representatives are Kyo Kusanagi
and Iori Yagami. The fighting has just begun.
 Appearance: Kyo loves to wear jackets ranging from black to

white as well as jeans. He has black hair and is an idol at his
school.
 Personality: You are a very confident guy, sometimes seeming

arrogant, but your good nature comes out. You hate hard work,
and the tests and subjects that come from school. School? Yes,
this is the consequence of so much laziness, you are still in
school despite being 20 years old! Luckily this doesn't hinder your
fighting skills, and you prove to be a very good fighter.

119
BENIMARU NIKAIDO
 History: Benimaru was the runner-up in the tournament to

determine Japan's representative in King of Fighters. After
their confrontation in the finals, Kyo and Benimaru
became close friends. But unlike Kyo, Benimaru has a full
life outside the ring. The son of a multimillionaire and a
model by profession, he is very famous and has many
fans. Known as a star, he is always seen with beautiful
women wherever he goes, which increases the hatred his
rivals have for him.
 Personality: Although you appreciate his friendship with

Kyo, his thoughts are always in contradiction. Quite the
ladies man, but also a feminist. Although he seems to
have an indecisive mind, Benimaru has a heart of gold.
His loyalty and respect can go a long way. In fights, you
prefer to stay at medium distance, just waiting for your
opponent to come and receive you with his arsenal of
kicks and electricity.
 Appearance: Benimaru is tall, slender, and has long,

straight, blond hair. When he fights, the static from his
powers causes his hair to stretch upward into a long
topknot. He always wears tight, extravagant clothes.

120
GORO DAIMON
 History: Goro Daimon has been a close friend of Kusanagi's

family for years. Years ago, he was Kyo's closest friend and
companion. To Kyo, who only had one sister, Goro was the
brother he never had. So when Kyo and Benimaru were
considering entering the Fighter Tournament, Goro did not
hesitate, entering with them. Goro was an Olympic Judo
champion once. But due to the Olympic rules and other
competitions, he couldn't evolve his technique, and so he
soon decided to quit the sport, and went to the mountains to
train his techniques.
 Personality: You are the one who keeps the team in

harmony by stopping the daily bickering between hot-
blooded Kyo and arrogant Benimaru. Without you, this team
would probably have been setoted a long time ago. You
don't have much experience with women, but you are
already thinking about getting married. You prefer women
with an old fashion style, and it's interesting to know what
you think of Mai. In fights, you prefer to stay close to your
opponent to deliver your powerful thrusts.
 Appearance: Goro is the most different one on the team,

being very tall and heavy. Another big contrast between
Goro and his colleagues is his "fashion" (or lack of it). It is
common for Goro to go into the cities always wearing his
sandals. Goro fights with only his gi pants, being a very
peculiar fighter.

The Korean Team - Kim's Team
Kim Kaphwan - View Chapter 2: Fatal Fury
CHANG KOEHAN
 History: Chang was once a feared and violent criminal in Korea. Although
Chang escaped from prison easily, he was caught by Kim and forced to
undergo Kim's "rehabilitation project" in KOF. During this time, he
befriends another convicted felon who was also caught by Kim, Choi
Bounge. Together, they devise various ways to escape, but eventually
enjoy a certain companionship with their "master"
.
 Personality: Once full of brutality, Chang Koehan today is a very
calm and rather silly man thanks to Kim's "Rehabilitation
Project".
 Appearance: Chang is over 2.30m, and knows how to use

all that size very well. He is bald, has a big beard, and is
very fat. Cheng wears the black clothes that he wore in jail.

124
CHOI BOUNGE
 History: He was a Serial Killer who stalked innocent
victims during the nights, but one day he decided to stalk
Kim during one of his nightly outings. After being
overcome by Kim's strength, Choi was forced by her to
participate in the "Rehabilitation Project" in hopes of
using the criminal's skills "in the name of justice". During
this time, he also met and befriended fellow criminal,
Chang Koehan. Since then, the two have tried to escape
Kim's training with little success, starring several times in
the series' most comical scenes. The situation has
become no more forgiving with the arrival of Jhun Hoon,
who shares Kim's excessive passion for justice and
rehabilitation.
 Personality: Very goofy and annoying, Choi wants to be

free of Kim's hands. He is sadistic, since he loves to cut
things up, especially human flesh. Although, Kim's
"Rehabilitation Project" seems to be working, since Choi
has lost some of his desire to kill.
 Appearance: Choi is very short, less than 1.50m. He has

a rather sarcastic face, and a psychopathic smile. Choi
wears only the top half of his Tae Kwon Do gi, wearing
black pants.

OTHER CHARACTERS
SAISYU KUSANAGI
 History: Saisyu is Kyo Kusanagi's father. He taught his son to fight

and taught him about the past and the history of the Orochi.
Saisyu is powerful like Kyo, but no longer fights. He retired and left
his son as the representative of the clan. However, he received a
visit from Rugal. Upon realizing his intentions, Saisyu attacked him.
But Rugal defeated him easily. Saisyu was already in agony when
his mind was overpowered. He went with Rugal to serve him,
unable to do anything to resist.
 Personality: You are usually serious and obstinate, but

you are not that rigid. You act with a little
impulsiveness, but nothing harmful. Now that Rugal
controls you, you just obey him. But you wage a
never-ending fight against him inside.
 Appearance: Saisyu has rather long black hair,

and a beard and a mustache, also black. He
wears traditional clothing of his clan and has a
challenging and penetrating gaze.

126
SHINGO YABUKI
 History: Shingo studies at the same school where Kyo, Athena and
Kyo's girlfriend Yuki study. He watched TKOF '96 and was soon
fascinated by Kyo's skills. As soon as school started the next
semester, Shingo begged Kyo to teach him martial arts. Kyo, of
course, thinking it was a joke, ignored him for a while, but finally
agreed to teach him after seeing that he would take it seriously.
Considering that Kyo is his idol, it is natural for Shingo to wear clothes
similar to his. Shingo wears a blue school uniform without the
Kusanagi sun on the back. Since Shingo is not of the Kusanagi clan or
the Yagami clan, he cannot summon flames (but he believes that one
day he will be able to). Unlike Kyo, who is always lazy, Shingo is a
dedicated worker in everything he does. He is very loyal to Kyo, and
dedicates his victories to him, as well as apologizing to Kyo when he
loses.
 Personality: The bond between you and Kyo is all that matters. You do
everything to show yourself to be a good student for him, and intend to
one day have the chance to save his life. In combat, you love to fight
like Kyo, using his powerful punching sequences. However, he is
saddened to learn that he cannot use flames - but dreams of invoking
them one day.
 Appearance: Shingo is of medium height and wears the same clothes as Kyo, his
great idol. However, he does not have the Kusanagi sun on his back, let alone his
special gloves. Shingo tries to look like Kyo everywhere by wearing clothes just like
his.

CHIZURU KAGURA
 History: Chizuru is the president of THE KING OF FIGHTERS Committee

and has taken Rugal's place since 1995. She is also one of the members of
the clans that sealed Orochi in the past, along with Kyo and Iori. She
assumes the name Kagura to hide her true descent into the Yata Clan for
a vital reason. Chizuru and her twin sister are the Guardians and are
subject to the overflowing powers of the Orochi. Now, with her sister
killed by Goenitz, gone is the Balance of Silence, and Chizuru has to
seal the power of Orochi again, alone. Chizuru had a twin sister, like all
Kagura children, and she grew up watching her sister in awe. But when
she died under Goenitz's clutches, Chizuru could do nothing. She was
alone. And to find other fighters worthy of fighting Orochi, she entered
the tournament arena. Her bloody past makes her a very determined
woman. After Orochi's defeat, Chizuru leaves the tournament.
 Personality: You seem to be quite quiet, and are definitely more mature.
Your tranquility comes from your pretotion as a holy priestess of the Yata
(Kagura), but it is not your nature. You are known to be a speed devil, and
your hobby proves this. You are a professional bike racer, when you are not in
the tournament. You are also fond of small creatures.
 Appearance: Chuzuru is tall, very beautiful, and has black hair. Her face is
quite plain, but she is still reasonably beautiful. She usually wears white
clothes that have to do with her Yata Clan.
Style: Yata-ryu + Air Elemental, School: Private Teacher, Concept: Administrator,

THE MEMBERS OF THE NESTS
K’
• History: K '(Pronounced K'Dash) was a normal child who lived

happily with his sister, Seirah. One day, they were captured by the NESTS
organization, a crime syndicate that dealt in drugs, genetics, robotics and
biotechnology. K 'was trained to be some kind of weapon. In 1998, K 'was
selected to participate in the Kusanagi cloning program. He was then given
Kyo Kusanagi's DNA, which gave him the power of pyrokinesis. During the
program, K's memory was manipulated, and it was changed to make him
believe that he was Krizalid's clone. The real memories of his past were
erased by NESTS, forgotten or repressed.
Under the organization's orders, he and Maxima join the King of
Fighters tournament with Benimaru Nikaido and Shingo Yabuki. The team
reaches the finals and is sent to a place where Krizalid waits for them. He
introduces himself as the host of the tournament and reveals that the fight
was meant to gather the energy and data from the battle. He hoped to use
the data to activate the thousands of dormant Kyo clones around the world.
However, K 'o defeats him and the team discovers that Krizalid was just a
pawn for the NESTS. When the base collapses, K' and Maxima are setoted
from their team and then hunted down by Team Ikari. Since then K' has
been on the run, and now with the revelation that his sister was alive, he
has a new goal, to find her.
 Appearance: K' has silver-gray hair and a very dark complexion. He

is of medium height and wears a leather jacket and pants, with a crucifix

which prevents K' from losing control of his flames.
 Personality: You are an extremely cold man, despite your heat

powers. You never speak, except when necessary. During the fight you are
also extremely practical, and know when and how to act. Your only
resentment is that you cannot remember your past clearly.

 History: Kula Diamond is a being created with the codename Anti-K by

NESTS to exterminate the cartel traitor, K'. She has the same design as K ', and
her clothes are almost identical to K's, with her DNA altered to use ice powers.
Despite the fact that her subject was a mindless puppet with no signs of emotions
(besides being an innocent young girl), the NESTS cartel was unwilling to repeat the
same mistake they made with K '. Therefore, NESTS created an Android named
Candy Diamond, who would monitor Kula's behavior and ensure that she
carried out her missions, assisting in battle if needed. NESTS also assigned
two of its main agents (Diana and Foxy) to supervise and prevent any kind
of betrayal by Kula.
After the destruction of NESTS, she ends up allying herself with K 'and
her companions, understanding that both their lives have been ruined by NESTS.
Whip affectionately refers to her as the "little sister" of the group.

unknown. It turns out that her modified genes prevent her from aging. She usually
dresses in leather, and when she fights, her hair changes color, turning blue.
 Personality: You are an assassin trained by the NESTS. But before that you are
still a child, so you tend to be childish. You have had your emotions suppressed for
years, so things like compassion and other feelings are not understood by you. But
deep inside you can still feel something, like brotherly love and hatred.

History: Ash is the direct descendant of Saiki, a being who has similar powers
to the Orochi, but instead of distorting Space, he controls Time. When he was
living in France, he spent his childhood with Elisabeth Blanctorche whom he
had as a sister, no one knows how he ended up under the care of this family.
He enters the 2003 edition of The King of Fighters tournament alongside Duo
Lon and Shen Woo. While his companions let him settle his own causes, Ash
goes on a quest to steal Orochi's power, he attacks the weakened Chizuru,
stealing her powers and knocking her unconscious.
Over the next year he continues his hunt for Orochi's powers. After leaving his
teammates fighting amongst themselves, Ash takes advantage of Iori's
instability after a bloody rampage, to steal the Yasakani Jewel from him.
Before he leaves the tournament, Elisabeth Blanctorche and her team appear
before him. She accuses Ash of abandoning "his mission" to fight for personal
gain. He disappears shrouded in purple flames and warns that Kyo is next.

OSWALD
History: Oswald is a man who is said to be a professional hitman. Ash asked

Oswald to join the tournament based on rumors he had heard about him. Since
they didn't know much about the other, the conditions for joining the team were
decided in a poker game; The winner would choose to do as he pleased.

defeat - he introduces himself to his teammates then.
It is revealed at the end of the tournament that Oswald teams up with Ash and
Shen Woo to obtain money and drugs called 'Dragon Pills' (or 'Ryu-gun' in
Japanese). Ash agrees to provide information about the drug, explaining that it
can only be given to him if he defeats the provider's enemy, Shen Woo. When
Ash leaves Oswald and Shen alone, a battle between the two occurs, the
winner of which has yet to be revealed; although the confirmed survival of
Shen and Oswald makes both outcomes equally plausible.

cut white hair, and always wears gloves and a pair of glasses with red lenses.

survive "the new era". He reappears in The King of Fighters XIII,
alongside the other members of "Those of the Past" in Saiki's pre-fight
sequence. As the other members retreat, Mukai asks his master to

History: A member of Those of the Past. Magaki,

alongside Shion, organizes the King of Fighters
tournament with the hope of reclaiming Orochi's
power to give to his master. Magaki hates Mukai's
ideology that humans must be watched carefully and
warns Shion not to betray him. When Shion is
defeated by Kyo and his team, Magaki takes him to
another dimension. He faces the fighters in the finals
of the KoF XII tournament, after he was defeated, he
got up, seemingly unharmed, and after commenting
that it might take a little more than the fighters' energy
to awaken Orochi, made his exit into another realm.
However, he was less fortunate than Mukai; when
trying to escape through the time portal he was killed
by Shion's spear.

dress in expensive suits and have your hair always
neatly combed, but when you want to fight you transform yourself with your real power into a grotesque
creature where you can see your veins pulsating with energy under your skin.

them. You seem to expect your every whim to be fulfilled, and have little patience for those who do not. You
respect strength, and sincerely believe in the "survival of the fittest.

SAIKI
History: Saiki is the leader "Of Those of the Past," the mysterious "master" to
other members of the sect. A being who has been described as Gaia's
emissary, he wishes to gather the life energy of the tournament fighters to
carry out Gaia's will. To do this, he performs a private ceremony to open a
direct doorway to her. At the finals of the tournament, he appears to the
winners to kill them, and thus obtain the energy needed to open the gate.
Saiki kills Mukai who refuses to carry out his orders, after which he enters into
direct combat with the other fighters in the tournament.
After the fight, Saiki praises the strength of the champions, but when he
realizes that the gate of time is closing he decides to leave his enemies alive
and withdraw from there, but at this moment Ash surprises him and steals his
powers, turning his body into dust.
Appearance: Saiki looks a lot like Ash, but with long, loose hair. He dresses
in white and has an androgynous appearance. In his transformed form he
takes on a somewhat demonic appearance.
Personality: You are confident in your own strengths, and believe yourself to
be a supreme entity of power. You are quite malevolent and feel no remedy
for the carnage he causes. He is very arrogant, and he takes pride in his
status as an ancient entity, and as such has a "god complex.

 The character can use 3 boxes of the Super
on the sheet template used) to the area reserved
meter instead of 1 Chi or 1 Willpower;
for Experience, as in the example below:
 Each point of combat damage allows you to
mark one box on the Super Gauge; once the
Super Gauge is filled, you can no longer mark
boxes with damage taken;
 The Super meter is completely emptied at the
end of a fight, and can only be filled up again in
another fight.

The Storyteller and the group can simply choose
one of the two models for their campaign. Another
option is to choose Extra or Advanced at character
creation: this can simulate someone who
concentrates and saves his most explosive blows
for moments of desperation, or someone who
concentrates rage and Chi as he takes damage in
combat.
A third option, raising the game's
simulationism to the maximum, is to allow the
player to choose the mode before each battle.
Once a battle has begun, they will not be able to
change until the battle is over.
Alternatively, Danger Moves can also be
simulated using the official rules, with dizzy combos
and certain Special Maneuvers (Repeating Fireball,
Inferno Strike, Yoga Flame etc). Thus Kyo's 182
Shiki is represented by a Jab (FF) to Strong (FF) to
Flaming Dragon Punch combo (dizzy), and Geese's
Raising Storm is the Shock Treatment.
DODGING
Dodging is an element present in King of Fighters,

representing an important aspect of the game's
anticipation and reaction strategy. If the Storyteller
wants to include this element, simply add Punch
Defense and Kick Defense to all the character
sheets in this book, for body dodging (Extra), and
use Jump for low jump (common dodging in Fatal
Fury and Art of Fighting). Rolling (Advanced) can
be represented by Jump itself, for Abort and
projectile dodging. If the Storyteller wants more
simulation, they can make Drunken Monkey Roll an
open maneuver (Any 2).
