Characters move list and other things if they were featured in KOF.

(Just letting ya folks know am still around and taking a break from the usual story for a while, even if it isn't very far into the plot. Anywho, this is just something I got after reading Burnout's story (this is his idea, am just following) though unlike him am not too good on tech mumbo jumbo. So I'll just describe the moves, intros, etc. Enjoy.)

Shorty Caka

Fighting Style: Self-taught martial arts

Bio: Every since she was little, Shorty always been one for rough housing. Constantly getting into scraps at the very littlest thing that would pester her, needless to say she wasn't very good at making friends. She made a few but always for the wrong reasons and those relationships usually ended tragically. As she got into her pre-teens she was into more and more fights by the second, I mean she was a good kid. Stayed in school, didn't do drugs, and all that stuff. But fighting just couldn't be taken out of her system, her parents tried to counter this by enrolling her in a karate class. But you can already tell that was an accident waiting to happen, and sure enough a disagreement between the sensei and Shorty during one of their classes resulted in a very ugly incident that the family never spoke of again. To make matters worse, what little the girl learned she use in her fights leading to some of the toughest rumbles in her life. Shorty won some and lost some, but as long as she was able to fight she was happy. A little while later her family moved to the Cit-burbs, there she set up a bully bounty-hunting service as not to worry her parents with random fights not to mention get a hefty fee for what she loved doing. It was through this that she met Rich when a price was put on his head. But during their encounter he defeated her…only in the most usual way. Not by punches or kicks, but through a prank meant for someone else. This was defiantly something new to Shorty to be brought down in such an embarrassing manner. Even moreso when Rich apologized and helped her up, something that never happened in her earlier fights. Since then she hung around Rich, eventually becoming one of his closest friends (not to mention her longest) and encountered other friendly people through him, one of them being Case. She still continued fighting but expanded to other interests: art and mechanics. And in time set up a caricature business in conjunction with her bully-hunting service. As Shorty entered her 10th year in school, she was pretty much despised by every punk in the area and everyday seem to be a fight though she didn't mind. The school however did but in a clever ploy, tricked…er convinced her to join a student exchange program as to keep their school record clean. The destination: Japan, and it was here that destiny intervened. (Read Nothing to Lose and SNK Style to see what took place.)

Intros

A: Her opponent does his/her intro, at least half way until Shorty comes rolling on-screen in her custom roller blades and to her side of the fighting ground, knocking her opponent to the ground in the process. She does a little spin when she gets there saying "AM HERE!" then notices her opponent on the ground. "What, down already?" she quips while smirking. Her opponents' frowns, growls, etc then both get into their fighting pose.

B: Shorty lays on the ground her hands behind her head and her cap turn forward over her eyes. She lifts it a bit, notices her opponent, then jumps to her feet turning her cap backwards saying "About time!"

C: Does a handstand with her right arm then switches to the left arm then goes into a break dance spin getting to her feet with her back to the opponent. "Oh yeah, am ready." She mutters before getting into her stance.

Vs. Ash Crimson: Shorty notices who she fighting starts to blush, looks down on the ground and start dragging her foot on the ground. Ash produces a rose saying (in his own language) "Lets light up the arena." The rose burns in his hand and he fling it in a small flame across her cheek. Shorty, blushing furiously now, can only nod. She then smacks her face a few times to get under control and both go into their fighting pose.

Vs Malin: Does intro A only when she spins she finds her cap is missing. Malin holds it out teasing. Until Shorty snatches it back with Malin's yo-yo, producing a shocked look from her opponent. "Watch it." Shorty saids as she throws the weapon back to Malin, Malin just giggles before going into fight stance.

Vs. Shingo: Just says "Tsk tsk tsk" with her arms crossed while he does his intro.

Vs Rich: Rich taps his umbrella a few time on his free hand and we see sparks fizzle from the tip of it. On the other side Shorty is in her intro B. While Rich is tapping his weapon, she suddenly turns into a few things. A dinosaur, box of cereal, Bao, and other random things until she back to normal, Shorty asks " You said something?" Rich says no, and both get into their fighting poses.

Vs. Case: Shorty waits on her side of the screen with her arm cross and her foot tapping the ground impatiently. She then gets a wide-eyed expression then kicks behind her, knocking a flying Case out of the air. He lands on his side of the screen face first then get to his feet groaning while she says "Close but your no master yet." "This fight will tell, prepare yourself!" He shoot backs…then both break out laughing. "Cor-ny." Then say together then get into their pose.

Victory:

A: Hits the tip of her cap and it spins on her head while she gives a low whistle.

B: Yawns then lays back down on the ground muttering "You woke me for that?!"

C: Dust off her hands saying "Pa-the-tic!" with each clap.

Vs Ash: Shakes her hands then blows on them. Suddenly two flames sprout from each palm, one green and the other red. Shorty looks at them with a confused look on her face before they burn out.

Time Loss:

Snaps her fingers, sits cross-legged on the ground and pouts.

Quotes:

"Beaten by a girl. Nothing new, except am the girl."

"Twas fun, lets throw-down again some time."

"You call that "skill"? Get a dictionary and look up the word."

"If I overdid it, please say , no guilt trips for me then."

Vs. Rich: "Tricks couldn't beat me? Just proves you need more spar practice, oh don't give that look."

Vs Case: "Guess it true what they say, size doesn't matter. Too bad your attacks didn't live up with it."

Vs. Ash: Um…er…sorry I beat you…call me!

Vs Malin: "A hidden arsenal and you still lost. Talk about irony."

Rich Dower

Fighting Style: Mystic Arts/Swordplay

Bio: There not much to say about Rich, during his childhood he was a vicious little prankster. Targeting everyone he saw and using the environment around him to get a good laugh. Even better (for him at least) he made a friend, a girl named Eleanor Grayson or E.G., who became his partner in crime and the two terrorized the town like nobodies business, very inseparable these two were. But one sad day E.G. family moved away and a heartbroken Rich had lost the passion for pulling jokes without his longtime partner, gradually slipping into a state of seclusion and never attempting to make friends. At least until he was 15 when E.G. family moved back and she had not let go the carefree spirit they once shared. Imagine her surprise when she found Rich had all lost his prankster self and was almost a totally heartless person, still keeping this attitude even after she return. Not willing to let her friend continue through life like this, E.G set out to rekindle his passion through new pranks that she had created and improved if they ever met again. It took a few tries and some close encounters but Rich slowly return to his old self, almost. He kept a bit of his new persona but was now less of a jerk and more wiser on his jokes, he would have to be as some of his old victims were still around and seeking a little payback. It was then that he met Shorty during a botched joke and after a shaky start, hit it off pretty well later on. Becoming friends and allies during their escapees but everything changed when he made an unscheduled visit to Japan. The trip to the land was an event in itself but the trip back to the mainland…(i.e.: read SNK Style to find out.)

Intros:

A: A closed umbrella shoots from the sky and land tip first on the ground. It opens and a pillar of light shoots out. Rich forms from the light. Grabs and closes the umbrella then says "Yo" before going into his stance.

B: Writes his symbol (R!) in the air from the tip of his umbrella then does a quick slash dissolving it.

C: Bows on the ground with the umbrella sticking in the ground. An image of Tessa (Tabasa to those that played SVC Chaos) stands behind him touching his shoulders. The two glow rainbow colors for a second then Tessa disappears and Rich stands with the umbrella at the ready yelling "For Red Earth!"

Vs Athena: The two notice each other then a word bubble with a picture of Chin appears over Rich's head while one appears over Athena's head only with Tessa's picture in the bubble. The two smirk then bow to each other with sparkles trailing them until they get into stance.

Vs. Billy Kane: Billy tries to take Rich's head off with a swing from his stick which he ducks. Rich swipes at his feet that Billy jumps over then the two charge at each other and attack resulting in a weapons stand off. They break off to their respective sides and into their stances.

Vs King: Rich spreads out his arms, the way Ryo does, then bows saying "Teacher 01." King smiles then nods at her former pupil and the two get into stance.

Vs Terry: Terry has his old cap on then tosses it into the air. Rich slices it in two then says "Out with the old, huh?" Terry responds with a thumbs up and they get into stance.

Vs: Shorty: Same as hers

Vs: Case: The two are in the middle of the screen with Shorty shaking hands. "Good luck guys." She says and walks off screen when she out of sight the two glare at each other, a spark of electricity flashes between them. They push the other to their sides, then point at each other saying "You are so dead!" at the same time then get into stance.

Victory:

A: Hits the umbrella with his free hand causing it to spin out of is other hand and in mid air for a sec. He catches it, rests it on his shoulder, then turns around saying "Nice."

B: Throws his umbrella into the air, catches it with his other hand then lifts it triumphly into the air yelling, "I did it!"

C: Spins his umbrella in his hand the place it on the ground tip first, and leans on it while a image of Tessa appears and stands behind him smiling while he ask "What do you ya think?"

Vs. Shorty, Case: "What that's it?" Says that as he opens his umbrella, puts it over his shoulder and looks at his fallen partner.

Time Loss:

Throws down his umbrella to the ground point first, yelling "BLAST IT!" An explosion suddenly happens where he stands and a charred Rich is standing there once the smoke disappears.

Quotes:

"No mere magic tricks, if they were I would be on the ground."

"Sorry, I don't do healing."

"My swordplay or my magic? Tell me which hurt worse."

"Teach you to call me a "fake". Your lucky I don't turn you into a bug."

Vs Athena "Not bad, call me if you need a partner for the Psycho Soldiers.

Vs Terry: "Like the new look, very good on you from this view Mr. Lone Wolf."

Rich Royale: Throws umbrella into the air, catches it tip first, opens it, aims at the opponents, and fires a wide energy blast (similar to Ryo) taking a twenty hit chunk away from the opponent if it connects.


Case Sanrigchez

Fighting Style: Melee

Bio: The first born of a pair of siblings, Case's life was pretty uneventful at first. Well, if you count the fact his mom was mistakenly injected with cat serum rather then morphine during his and his sister's birth (the doctors didn't even know how that happened). At first the effects seem to hit his sister more then him (such as cat ears started growing on her head) and their childhood went on with the usual up and downs. But as the two got older, Case noticed that he wasn't getting any bigger from his ten year old size, in fact his sister was growing leaps and bounds over him almost to the size of a fifth teen year old…and she was only nine at the time. It soon became painfully obvious that the serum had started to take it toll on Case's and Tala's (his sister) bodies and that where things got difficult. People started picking on him, calling names, the usual stuff when going through elementary. But a person can only take some much and one day Case shocked the first person to call him shorty (no pun intended) which resulted in his first fight ever. It wouldn't be long before this event result in a chain-reaction of fights and a grudge Case has with most of the people in the Cit-Burbs. Though unlike Rich during his slump, he did manage to make a few friends but only when he was sure of their loyalty. Anybody else always met the business end of his fists, which, for quite a little guy, packed a wallop. The years rolled by as Case entered his teens and Case's attitude never seem to waver, but it was seriously put to the test when a former prankster got on his bad side with the two almost duking it out. But Case got too full of himself and ended up losing without his opponent even lifting a finger. But the words he spat would forever put a rage in Case's heart every time he saw him and made a vow to outdo at everything he did as payback, thus creating a rivalry between the two (you can pretty much guess who this person was.) During one of their meeting Case met Shorty and the two recognize their talents for fighting rather quickly. Since them Case has had a nice relationship with her even though he has to put up with her "friend".

Intro Poses:

A: Make sure his headband on tight then give a thumbs down to his opponent.

B: Kicks the ground sending a small bit of dust his opponent's way then says "Grounds EXTRA hard today. Just a reminder." Then get into his fighting pose.

C: Smiles as he says "Good Luck" then coughs "NOT!" before going into his stance.

Vs Yamazaki: Looks away from him while he straightens his gloves. Yamazaki suddenly grabs his head in a blur then laughs as he struggles. At least before Case kicks him in the stomach then his face as he flips back to his side of the screen. Yamazaki growls saying "No mercy!" before the two go to stance.

Vs Hinako: She does her stomp intro to which Case nervously smiles at with a sweatdrop appearing from his head.

Vs Mai: She does one of her intro poses while Case looks on grinning like an idiot. An umbrella suddenly comes flying from his side of the screen and smacks him in the head followed by Rich yelling "Eye on the ball, idiot!" from off-screen. The umbrella disappears while Case rubs his head glaring off-screen he then gets into his fighting pose

Vs Kyo: He looks at Kyo smugly and saids "King of Fighter champion? Excuse me if I don't bow." Kyo quickly shoot a small flame at him putting his hair on fire. Case looks at this then narrows his eyes at Kyo before saying "Cute." Kyo shrugs grinning while Case licks a finger and puts out his hair before they go into stance.

Vs Rich: Same as his.

Vs Shorty: Same as hers.

Victory:

A: Puts his hands on his knees and says "Had enough?"

"This is KOF? My sister braiding my hair was more fun."

""Sigh", Natch"

Vs Rich: "Forgot my policy about pissing me off, eh?"

He then finishes it by feigning a punch at the weary opponent then just snaps his fingers at which the opponent drops on the ground instantly.
