Biography
Life was pretty easy for Shenra, being the child of two well-respected martial artists. His mother, the most skilled of Clan Yagami, while his father was a Taekwondo champion and head of his own school.
His parents actually had met during one of his father's tournament trips many years ago, and the two became nearly inseparable during the course of it. One of the nights they spent together, Shenra was conceived. His parents married soon after they learned of his mother's pregnancy, both ecstatic to be parents and to teach their child the joys of martial arts.
Well. That was the plan anyway. The reality proved to be far more trying for them, as Shenra expressed very little interest in regard to his parent's profession or their skills during the first ten years of his life, the crucial times when training was most effective and easily retained. He had no desire to be able to break planks or do backflips across the yard, no real drive to attain the kind of skill or prowess his parents had perfected all their lives.
No, his interest was in books, and in growing his mind. He spent most of his time with his face buried in books, or watching documentaries about space and nature.
Understandably disappointed, his parents nonetheless attempted to support him as best they were able, even though their professions forced them to be away fairly often, leaving Shenra at home once he was old enough to be alone. Shenra's attitude about fighting would change though, one fateful day on his way home from classes.
That day, he came home with bruises, torn clothes, and minus his backpack, after being cornered and beaten by some kids who had heard about who his parents were, no doubt thinking they could make a name for themselves by knocking him around. After that day, when his parents opened the door to see him there, obviously beaten and victimized, his red eyes hard as blood red diamonds, he was like a beast for martial knowledge.
He nearly demanded to be trained, and threw himself into the lessons his parents provided, even going out of his way to purposefully train with adults instead of children his own age. They taught and he consumed it like he was dying without the knowledge, dedicating himself almost more fervently than his own parents had to honing his body and skills.
After several years of relentless and driven training, Shenra took his revenge upon the boys who taught him life's most painful lesson: Only the strong deserved to live. Only the strong deserve to survive, to own things of value.
He left those boys broken in the halls during lunch time, then calmly walked from his school and went home, to await the inevitable call from the school principal. When he returned home, his parents were already there, waiting after having spoken with his school. He was beaten. Severely. Mostly by his father, for bringing shame to the family for using his skills to attack, rather than to defend himself as he had been taught. His mother threw no physical blows, though he felt it would have been less painful if she had, her words of disappointment hurting him deeper than a blow from her ever could.
All of that was many years ago now, and Shenra no longer had any fear of his parents lording over him, and was left with a rather sizable inheritance to live on, allowing him to have the life he had always dreamed of.
He had his own house, motorcycle, and he was the head of his father's old Dojo, though he left the running of that to his parent's older students.
Though he would stop by and give his input on certain things necessary for running the Dojo, for the most part, he stayed away and did his own thing. Which mostly included participating in underground fight clubs and tournaments, where people much larger than him would always underestimate him and end up losing their ass when he wiped the floor with them.
The rest of his time was spent hanging out in various night/dance clubs, putting the boys and even some of the girls to shame with his stunning good looks, sitting at home while studying some new book or practicing his skills in the family Dojo.
Move Set
Specials
Half Moon Cleave: A slightly more powerful version of his father's Slash, this flip-kick allows Shenra to power through guards/blocks at the cost of a little slower recovery.
Swooping Swallow Javelin: Originally another type of flip kick, Shenra's version is a crouching drill/corkscrew kick meant to get under high/mid guards and knock his opponent prone.
Flying Arrows: An airborne attack, Shenra leaps high, flips toward his opponent, and then lashes out with both legs multiple times at high speed, before flipping away and landing in a crouch.
Phoenix Fire: A technique his mother helped him refine, Phoenix Fire allows Shenra to make two-foot long purple fire javelins and throw them with high speed at his opponent, though his accuracy with them is not the best.
Forbidden Clawing: A technique inspired by his mother's "Claw Form", where he slashes his opponent with both hands held like claws, his inner fire augmenting his strike and engulfing his opponent briefly in flames.
Conquest Kick: A powerful stomp to his opponent's feet, that ignites upon connecting, setting their foot ablaze for a few moments.
Super/EX/Neo Max/Desperation Moves
Maiden Destroyer
Super Move
A call back to his heritage,
Maiden Destroyer is a move that temporarily raises his speed long enough to close with his opponent and unload eight powerful fist and leg strikes, finishing with a back-flip kick that calls forth a pillar of purple and white energy that completely engulfs his opponent and hits four more times, lifting them off the ground before dissipating.
Phoenix Assault
EX Super
Another call back to his heritage, PA is one of Shenra's best aerial attacks. Crouching down and gathering fire around his legs, Shenra leaps toward his opponent in the blink of an eye, striking with a long string of kicks (up to 24 hits) on every part of his opponent's body, before finishing it up with a rising drill kick that engulfs his opponent in an explosion of purple and white fire/energy.
Rage of the Phoenix
NEO MAX Super
This attack causes Shenra to engulf himself in purple flames and rush his opponent to grab them with both hands, then try to lift them off the ground as he laughs maniacally, a pillar of purple and white energy engulfing Shenra and his opponent with increasing intensity as Shenra channels ungodly amounts of energy into his opponent's body for as long as he can hold on. (10 Second Max, 20 Hit Max)
Deadly Rioting
DESPERATION/RIOT OF BLOOD
A truly last ditch attack, Deadly Rioting forces Shenra to loosen his hold upon his humanity for the sake of increasing his power enough to defeat his opponent, or die in the trying. More of an activated state rather than a true "move/skill", Shenra attacks his opponent as if a crazed/wild beast out for their blood and their life, using every bit of skill and power at his disposal to overtake his foe, uncaring of defense or injury. His moves are understandably greatly increased in power in this state, his javelins becoming spears, pillars widening to near-walls of concentrated fury, and claws able to rend stone and metal with ease. (Maximum length of 20 seconds, Self-KO after if opponent still stands)
