Name: Darrin Henry Morris
Homeworld: Earthrealm
Appearance:
Fighting Style:
Seemingly slow with bursts of adrenaline, he is not armed but he channels deadly sorcery into his fists and can launch lightning bolts, ice spears and fire balls from his hands. He knows teleportation and uses a curved knife for melee combat, in which he has killed well over twenty gurkas in one battle. While Sub-Zero uses ice for freezing and weapons, Darrin uses blocking spells of electricity, fire and ice, not to mention conjured metal shielding.
When not using magic he has a medium speed, medium power approach which is based on counters and pecking, slicing and cutting his enemies repeatedly through his curved knife. He can also throw his dagger through a portal which opens up behind an opponent, landing inside him or her.
Special Abilities:
Spell portal attack : He opens a portal and casts a spell (ice, lightning, fire) through it, or throws his dagger. His ice doesn't paralyze/freeze an opponent, but it does cause damage to their bodies and frostbite, perhaps slowing them down.
Lightning bolt: A lightning bolt strikes the ground the opponent is on, causing an eruption of flames.
Ice Lance, launches a spear of ice as Darrin shoves an air launched sharpened battering ram at the enemy.
Teleportation: Similar to Raiden's teleportation spell.
Fatality:
Devouring Of The Abyss: The Abyssal Realm opens beneath and enemy, and tentacles hungrily grab the victim, tearing him or her with it's barbed coils before finally dragging them to the abyss, where their souls and magically preserved bodies are cut over and over for all eternity.
Personality:
He's a sorcerer. Like most sorcerers he isn't the most kind neighbor to have but he isn't a threat to Earthrealm or bystanders like Quan Chi or Shang Tsung. He doesn't like the idea of having to be anyone's crony like Shang Tsung or Quan Chi, and he finds their jackboot nature very distasteful. While he wouldn't hesitate to kill if his life or limb were in danger, he has ethics and moral values close enough to Earth special forces and the Shao Lin to fight for Earth Realm.
He likes to fight with and for the underdog against bullies. His ethical values aren't perfect or nearly perfect however, he will steal and fight to gain knowledge and power like most sorcerers, and even experiments on defeated enemies with his spells. He wouldn't do this to a character like Sonya, Cage, etcetera, but if he were a strong enough rival to a defeated rival, he could seem as cold and cruel as Shao Kahn, Shinnok and other Earth Realm enemies.
Backstory:
Darrin Henry Morris was born in London, 1968. He was a gifted child, weak and frail, pale, bruised easily. He was beaten as a child by bullies, and almost died, opening the door for him to be brought into the Abyssal world's god, Great and Terrible Hoggath. He made a deal with the enigmatic tentacled energy being known as Hoggath on his death bed at the age of ten years, agreeing that he would bring Hoggath the dead bodies of his enemies so Hoggath could devour their souls. He arranged for his bullies and mockers to die in car bombings, and later joined the IRA in his teen years, despite being English. It was an almost open secret that Darrin Henry Morris was untouchable. Anyone who tried to mess with him ended up burned to death in ovens, drawn and quartered, or eaten alive by rats or insects.
Hoggath made Darrin strong. By the time he was twenty, he had carried out numerous assassinations and objectives, but left the IRA due to irreconcilable differences. By then he had killed too much and lost too many friends, saw that what he was doing was immoral and even evil, and he began to hate himself. He does not drink or indulge in drugs, but he is a heavily vice driven man who enters into entirely physical relationships and has a "weakness for women", trying to drown out the pain and guilt in his soul with pleasures and luxurious living. Entering Mortal Kombat and meeting a torturous end doesn't phase him in the slightest. He is afraid that he deserves whatever he gets, so he can try to save as many people as he can.
Darrin no longer serves Hoggath, but he has all the power Hoggath has given him. They have an agreement that Darrin doesn't need to serve him as his sorcerer anymore.
Motivation:
Darrin seeks redemption, peace of mind, and the survival of Earthrealm.
