History:A detective from the year 1932, Dick Nicky Stars was raised by a single father, as his mother vanished the night after his birth. His life was rather uneventful, but he followed in his father's steps in working with the law. His father always joked about how his mother ended up being the stronger of the two, which led to them working together in the years before Nick's birth.

Nick had always been of average strength, despite appearing skinnier than the average person. He could pack quite a punch, and could take a hit to match it. He was always sturdy, getting in fights and helping out the little guys.

In the years passing, Nick's father finally revealed the truth to him about his mother and her possible whereabouts. She was an Earth Spirit, connected to the very planet itself. It was her duty to protect the earth, which kept her from her son. She believed he should live a human life, and abandoned her family. With this knowledge, Nick tried to use the other half of his lineage, connecting to the earth to hear the world around him.

He was on the tail or cracking down on some cult when he arrived at the summoning location of Aku. The cult was much larger than he had anticipated, and worked for months on cracking down on every group attempting to bring fourth the demon. For having interrupted the ritual so many times, Aku, with what little power he had, disposed of Nick the best way that he knew how, by casting his forward in time to where he would no longer have to worry about him.

Furious with having been forced to abandon his life, Nick now works to end Aku, and bring himself back to his own time.

Name: Urshok
Aliases/Nicknames: The Dread Knight
Age: 37
Sex: Male
Race: Human (Orshenian)

Appearance: Urshok is very muscular, and stands at 6'6". His eyes are a blood red when he wears his winged helmet but are blue otherwise -- the helmet merely providing an illusion to strike fear into his foes. His head is entirely bald, and adorned in blue arrow shaped tattoos. His body is covered in numerous scars; by most standards would be considered quite unattractive. His demeanor is mostly very serious and cold, but in his off-time he carries himself much more relaxed.

Carried Weapons: A worn broadsword that radiates a chilling aura -- even touching the blade can result in frostbite to someone without Orshenian blood. He carries a dagger at his hip as well, but there is nothing special about it.

Worn Armor: His winged helmet and and a hodge-podge of whatever he's managed to scavenge from past defeated foes, currently crude chainmail. He carries a roundshield from his homeland, in the shape of a horned skull, and its metal is strong enough to deflect nearly any blow.

Miscellaneous Items: The amulet around his neck is jet black and he has carried it ever since leaving Orshen, and is enchanted to absorb the spells of lesser-magicians.

Supernatural/Superhuman Abilities: He has some control over supernatural winds which aid greatly in things like sailing, or blowing slower projectiles and arrows away. He may also conjure small floating orbs of light that are useful for lighting dark places or blinding unsuspecting foes.

History: Urshok's home of Orshen was a great fortress island that stood for hundreds of years, dominating the Black Sea on a world parallel to Earth. His people were ruthless and cruel, taking whatever they wanted from the neighboring lands, and their mastery of magic and warfare was such that only fools dared retaliate. Such was their power that word eventually reached Aku, who decided they would make excellent soldiers in his empire. First he came with bribes, and then with threats, and when they still did not submit he razed their cities to the ground, and saw to it that their entire island was plunged beneath the waves.

Few survived; Urshok among them, who was a young guardsman at the time, too low in social standing to be afforded a respectable position, or to be taught greater magics. Those few survivors went their separate ways, convinced their people were fated to die. He survived in his world for some time as a wandering adventurer, a mercenary, and in his travels he came to respect the varied people and cultures of the world. Although still a conqueror at heart, the cruelty he had been taught by his people was greatly diminished from these experiences.

Eventually in his travels he found what he was looking for; a portal to Earth, to the dimension that Aku ruled with an iron fist. It had been decades since Orshen fell, and he thought himself the last survivor of his people. Though probably a suicide mission, he thought there would be no better end to the Orshenian legacy than to fall in combat with the great demon itself.

So when he heard of the invitation to hunt the legendary Jack he found passage on a ship. However, by the time that Emon got there, his compatriots had already found, captured, recaptured and released Jack. Aku, enraged by the Imakandi, attempted to capture Emon and put him in a labor camp. He was able to escape and quickly found himself hunted, and was soon befriending those in the revolution. As more time passed he heard also of how powerful Aku was and decided that with help, perhaps Aku was more than worthy Prey.

Name: Sam
Aliases/Nicknames: The Shaolin Sheriff or Shaolin Sam
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Race: Human

Appearance: At 5'9" Shaolin Sam is in prime shape with an athletically fit body, tempered by martial arts, horseback riding, and farm work. He sports a cowboy westerner's digs with a brown duster and matching hat, blue denim jeans, leather hide belt, buttoned shirt, and red bandana. Every cowboy needs a pair of trusty boots, but for Sam, he chooses to rock a pair of futuristic high tops that allow him to jump high, and leap long distances. They're also shock absorbers, which makes it comfortable to stick a landing from very high drops.

Carried Weapons: The Shapeshifter - A polymorphic weapon that can seamlessly transform into a laser pistol, laser rifle, laser machete blade, laser bladed spear, and a laser whip.
Worn Armor: He wears a lightweight chest armor under his duster. It's made of the same material as his futuristic boots and can absorb a great deal of punishment.
Miscellaneous Items: A brown wooden bead necklace that serves as a reminder of his days as a shaolin monk.

Supernatural/Superhuman Abilities: Sam is a durable fighter with a uniquely formless style. His shaolin martial arts is the foundation of his prowess. Combined with crafty marksmanship as a gunslinger, he is a slippery adversary at both long range and close quarter combat.

History: Sam was a monk that grew up training among other Shaolin under Grandmaster Tan Zang, a centuries old instructor who achieved ultimate self awareness. He was a promising student of the trade that could almost perform telekinesis by honing his chi. As he was beginning to achieve great feats as a Shaolin, Sam started to wonder about his purpose in life. The training of mind and body, though selfless, felt wasteful as him and his brothers perfected their craft in secrecy from Aku's prying eyes. There was no denying the dangers that lurked beyond those temple walls, and he sought to use his skills to combat evil forces that preyed on the weak. He eventually stowed away on a train that took him into the western territories, where he was flung knee deep into the wild futuristic dystopia of the west. Sam served as a vigilante for justice, terrorizing bandits and saving countless people from harm.

One of those fortunate souls was a scientist named Braxley, who saw great potential in Sam. The lab coat decided to assist the shaolin with an assortment of gadgetry like jump boots, durable chest armor, and a polymorphic weapon called The Shapeshifter. Braxley even went as far as hiring a dangerous bounty hunter named Zeke to help train Sam on how to use firearms like a true gunslinger. After he got the hang of firing pistols and rifles, Sam moved onto The Shapeshifter, training in a whole new style that combined martial arts and marksmanship. With new toys and fighting styles added to his arsenal, Sam took it upon himself to be an unofficial sheriff of the land. Yet despite his courageous efforts, the overwhelming corruption lead by Aku could not be thwarted. Dr. Braxley and his family were killed by Aku's forces, sending Sam on a path of vengeance.
