“WHAT IS UP, NERDS?! ITS YA BOY, THE ANNOUNCER, COMING AT YA WITH ANOTHER NEW CHAMPION!”
Name: Ika of the lightbound monks
Codename: White Glare
Title: Seven sins MMA champion
Appearance and Costume:
Basic Backstory: Ika was born in Grandfather among the light bound, he was an initiate of the monkhood of binding light. His life was fairly regular growing up in Grandfather besides the occasional siege by demons. He trained as a monk originally to aid travellers along the undergrounds roads between Grandfather and other nations. On one of his journeys he came across a Paladin who spoke highly of an arena in the above world, a place called the seven sins where fighters of great renowned tested themselves. Though monks were usually averse to putting their abilities on display for show, there are always a few of the younger persuasion who relish the challenge and glory of combat. It is not expressly forbidden to compete however bringing death for sport is not sanctioned. Ika has sworn never to take a life in the arena and carries that oath strongly. He is the current MMA champion and has been for the last four years and a rival of Aria Murakis.
“WOW, AND IF THAT DIDN’T HYPE YOU GUYS UP; SURELY THEIR POWERS WILL!”
Powers: Martial stance: Being from the temple of binding light, Ika has the ability to manipulate light and use it as a fuel source for his abilities. Each martial stance has trained him to use his abilities in a different way, he can only use the powers from one stance at a time. The monk attains the aura of light increasing their physical strength to triple what their normal state has. It is required to survive the forces of using the various stances.
Bright fist: A balanced style involving the careful interweaving of technique and abilities, brightfist is the standard form for most monks. In brightfist stance the fighter can create five clones of light, at any time the real fighter may change places with a clone. Otherwise the clones have no strength and vanish on a single hit.
Illuminate: The fighter may use this stance that focuses on speed to outmaneuver an opponent. When in this stance the fighters speed increases to mach 6 even capable of making a sonic boom effect in their wake.
Beacon in shadow: Light bends around the monk in such a way it renders them invisible to sight and infrared vision, when the monk disperses the light camouflage it causes a small explosion equivalent to a grenade.
Sun's grace: The true form of power for monks of the binding light, this form absorbs light directly into the musculature. The body begins to form what look like open wounds brimming with pure light, even the eyes and mouth burst forth with light. The monk gains the ability to fly up to mach 2 speeds as well as firing a strafing beam of light that burns at 900 degrees in a 4 inch cone. A shield of light protects them from physical and energy based attacks but can fail if it takes too much damage. As a final technique the monk can take 120 seconds to channel all their energy and explode in a divine burst of light scorching an area like a napalm bomb.
Weaknesses:
Darkness: Due to the fact his powers are fueled by sources of light, depriving him of light causes his abilities to diminish making stance powers less effectice. Complete darkness cancels all his abilities.
Burn out: Each stance regardless of the aura of light has a strain on the body. Burn out occurs when the monk has been in a stance too long and eventually collapses from exhaustion. Brightfist can last for 12 hours being the least energy intensive. Illuminate can go for 6, Beacon for 4 and Sun's grace for 2. After a 3 hour rest and probably some food and drink the monk can go again.
Blades: Ika has a phobia when it comes to bladed weapons, the reason he never specialised in them or trained with them. The thought in his mind of a sword cutting in-between the fingers or toes and slowly slicing them away makes him cringe. If he's faced with bladed weaponry he'll likely surrender which is why he doesn't enter the brawl.
The young and the restless: Ika has a great aversion to fighting children and the elderly. He'll never go all out against them even under threat of death he'd rather try and reason with them.
Tools: None
