Description
I originally made this guy with the Kreate-A-Kharacter portion of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. He resonated with me, so I thought I might bring him into the material world and continue the design. The kanji on his armor and the whip are my own embellishments outside of the MK customizing engine.

Nyctaro is an Outworld mutant- part Shokan (Goro), part Tarkatan (Baraka). Exiled from both races, Nyctaro fled to Outworld's caves. His long absence from sunlight is why his skin is pale white, and he must wear a black veil over his eyes as protection from the sun. He served Shao Kahn as a torturer, and found himself conscripted in his army during the rise of the Deadly Alliance. Since then, Nyctaro has allied himself with any force of evil that both appreciates his knack for interrogation and lets him employ it on the Tarkata and Shokan for spurning him. His preferred weapon is a whip crafted from the manes of Centaurs.

Oh yeah...

Place Of Origin: Outworld
Alignment: Evil
Allies: Shao Kahn, Quan Chi, Kano, Kabal
Enemies: Baraka, Goro, Kintaro

Fighting Style: Tai Chi
Weapon: Bullwhip

Special Moves
Shadow Dash: Nyctaro darts behind his opponent and performs a double palm smash to the small of their back, sending them flying (similar to Reptile's running dash move).
Cave-In: Nyctaro smashes the earth with his fist, causing a small rock to fall directly onto the opponent's head and damage them. This move can counter projectiles if timed properly.
Whip Trip: Nyctaro lashes his opponent's ankle with his whip and yanks, flipping them forward for an air juggle. No damage; can only be low-blocked.
Bat Scream: Nyctaro throws his head back and unleashes a high-pitched sonic yell, creating a small but damaging aura around him. This can counter both jump-ins and teleport attacks.

Fatalities
39 Lashes: Nyctaro unfurls his whip and lashes his victim into painful submission, driving them to their belly. He then performs his Cave-In attack and messily pulps the prone victim underneath a huge boulder.
Body Split: Nyctaro drives his victim to their knees with a kick to their knees and garrottes them from behind with his whip. He then puts his knee to their back and yanks, ripping the victim in two, and raises the hanged torso in victory.
Hara-Kiri: Nyctaro performs his Cave-In attack. The camera then moves to a worms-eye view of Nyctaro as a huge boulder plummets directly towards him. The rock squashes his head with a dull splat and the body can only manage a few steps before it hits the ground.

...Is that cool? Is he canon now? How long before he gets his own game?
