Weapons and Apparel- Graphine Composite Saber and Automatic Laser Handgun. Sword is usually in it's sheath, even when in battle, and only pulled out when using it, putting it back in every swipe or parry. Gun has it's own holster as well, put is usually in the hands of the Rider ready to be shot at any moment. When up close, not having range combat, will replace normal manner of gun only style with sword only style. He can charge a shot with the handgun to do even more damage, and will stun the enemy, takes about 4 seconds to charge fully. Sword is very light and maneuverable, yet stable and sharp, glows with power, and increasing it's damage further. Laser Handgun shoots laser balls, charged shot shoots big ball. Can charge a swipe of his sword to "teleport" 15 ft. and do much more damage than usual. (Teleport is different to dash, he can be hit by projectiles/melee attacks if his path intercepts them.) His torso and legs are made of an unknown material, very strong, and won't break, but doesn't do much to protect. Hands, Feet, Head are all made of normal human bits. Red cloak that covers mouth area and shoulders, drapes down to Stranger's feet.

Appearance- His chest has cracks of power that flow through it. Long, white hair flows in the wind, just like his read cape that conceals his expressionless face. Wears short "cargo" shorts with his scabbard and holster. Power lines outline areas that would be different muscles in a normal human body.

Physical Abilities/Skills- The Stranger's total strength is yet unknown, but seen from his feats, it would seem to be up there. His top running speed is 73mph. He can parry melee attacks if they are slow enough, probably couldn't parry a dagger, but definitely could parry an axe or a hammer, these attacks restore a small amount of The Stranger's health. If the attack is predicted, and Rider parries it perfectly, he can combo slash you in the air and do insane damage. The Stranger can also dash about 10 ft. and when he does, he can dodge all attacks, and can charge a dodge to go even further. He is extremely adept with firing his sword and his gun, and can aim and slash very skillfully. Legends say that when he fought The Edge, the sounds of swords whizzing and clashing could be heard for miles. His corruption rots and withers at the ground around him, destroying all life.

Personality- The Stranger lacks any semblance of personality. This is most likely caused by his heart beating at 8bpm. Throughout his journey, he is completely silent, with the occasional grunts of exertion. At the start of his journey, he is highly aggressive, but he learned to be more passive, and wait to see the enemy was hostile before attack.

Background- The first time the player sees The Stranger, he is being tortured and held captive by The Chain. As The Chain leaves, the mysterious bunny masked prisoner The Voice frees him and tells him to kill his jailor for his freedom. As The Stranger proceeds down the prison, killing all Guardians in his way, he begins to learn things about his past. In particular, the Stranger learns that he's being held with such high security because he's done "some bad things" in the Free World, becoming very apparent when The Scale refers to him as his "creator".

The Stranger shows hesitation before dealing the killing blow to The Song, causing The Voice to say that it gave him "hope".

Upon finally killing every Guardian who stood in his way, The Stranger and The Voice were free to leave. On reaching the Free World, The Stranger realized that his very presence corrupted the ground around him, withering plants and blackening dirt. Realizing that he is a being that never did belong in the Free World, The Stranger locates a metal suit in a tower, and flies it skyward, aboard a large Mothership who addresses him as "Rider". The Mothership asks him if the planet is fit for assimilation.

The Stranger answers no, he turns his guns on the Mothership, eventually destroying it and saving the Free World from assimilation. As it dies, the Mothership tells The Stranger that he can't prevent this forever. He wanders now, looking for the next chapter in life.
