Compilated on October 23, 2006 and around 1:43pm EST

Characters:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Age: 31
Height: 6'2''
Weight: 195 lbs.
Story (Basic):
Cinder was a convicted criminal who agreed to participate
in Ultratech's chemical weapons test in exchange for early
parole. A failed experiment turned him into a being of living
flame. He was now been offered freedom he can defeat
Glacius in the Killer Instinct tournament.
Story (Extended):
Ben Ferris, a small-time criminal with counts of assault,
breaking and entering and arson on his record, is the
latest convict to be bought out of jail for Ultratech's
twisted uses. His fate is to be used as a human guinea-
pig in the company's chemical weapon developments, an
unexpected side-effect leaving him consumed by fire but
somehow, much to his own horror, still alive. He is kept
confined in a top-security block until Ultratech decide to
enter him into the tournament under the codename Cinder
to defeat Glacius fairly and in full public view, his freedom
providing the ultimate incentive.
Ending:
Leaving as the champion of the tournament, a hostile police
reception awaits him outside the gates of Ultratech. As no
stranger to confinement from his former life of crime, Cinder
has no intention of being imprisoned again. Using his newly
acquired power, he easily evades the capture attempt, leaving
his potential captors in his wake. Picking a location suitable
for his current condition, he ponders his next move.

Story (Extended):
Having fought his way from a seedy backstreet gym to the
world heavyweight title through sheer raw power and agg-
ression, after 5 years at the top T. J. "Combo" Garrett is
brought crashing down by his own overwhelming greed.
Having blown most of his cash on titanium arm implants
to ensure that the title remained his, Combo is stripped of
belt, wealth and public respect when the Ultratech surgeon
who performed the operation sells his story to the media.
Furious and humiliated, Combo returns to his old ghetto
haunts and vows to defy the world at large in reaching the
top once more.
Ending:
With victory in the tournament, Combo has finally achieved

Eyedol is Ultratech's trump card. Ultratech's scientists
snatched him out of Limbo to do battle with the finalist

set Eyedol free from his magical prison...
Story (Extended):
Eyedol and his greatest rival, Gargos - known only in the
modern world to the Monks of the Tiger as the great Spirit
they serve - were the last surviving Warlords of ancient
times, battling for ultimate control of the land. The heroes
of the age joined together to banish them to Limbo, and for
2000 years there they stayed: but now Ultratech's meddlings
have resulted in a device that can scan the void for life, and
despite their efforts to shut it down before anything nasty
gets out, a weakened Eyedol manages to break through at
the last minute, right into the company's scheming hands.
Ending:
"Billy... Are you my long lost son Billy?..."

One of Ultratech's latest creations and possibly the most
dangerous to date, Fulgore is the first in a planned series
of cybersoldiers boasting state-of-the-art armouries, worked
at feverishly over the last few years by a particularly erratic
Ultratech genius and his team. Dark rumours abound as to
where the prototype's human parts originated - the kind of
rumours nobody dares voice. Before the Fulgore Mk.I model
is even finished, the scientists are already working on an
upgrade: and to prove the prototype's ultimate worth, it is
entered into the tournament with orders to destroy all op-
position.
Ending:
The combat test of the Fulgore series assault cyborg has
been a success. Mass production can now take place...
After years of research, a weapon of awesome power is

left to view it are now slaves.

Killer Instinct tournament.
Story (Extended):
Wandering the galaxy in search of new life, a curious
Glacius skims too close to the Earth and, sucked in by its
gravitational field, crashlands deep in the heart of a snow-
bound mountain range. Groggy but counting himself lucky
to be alive, he surveys the damage and sets out in the hope
of finding the parts he needs. The history books of Glacius'
race warn of the humans' unreasoning brutality, but surely
they exaggerate? Unfortunately, the alien will soon have
time to regret his trusting nature when Ultratech capture
him for use in their own unique brand of 'scientific research'.
Ending:
After escaping from the grasp of Ultratech, Glacius finally
returns to the site of his crashed spaceship. With the ad-

The ever-present uncertainty as to his origins,however, still
troubles him.

crossbreed of human and reptilian DNA, resulting in a crea-
ture that combines formidable intelligence with sheer brute
strength. Nurtured from the egg by a dedicated Ultratech
professor and her team, the beast nicknamed 'Riptor' by
others has barely reached 4 years of age before it first
demonstrates its full savage power in a human kill. Riptor
is confused and often finds itself torn between human
reasoning and predatory instincts, resorting to attack
when it fails to understand the situation, as ever more
people find out the hard way.

icularly virulent strain of lycanthropy, Count Von Sabrewulf
has lived in exile in his remote mountain tower, shunned by
society, struggling with insanity as his disease grows steadily
worse. A handful of years back his worst nightmare was
realised when he failed to revert to human form at all. Every
rumour of a possible cure has been at best a hoax, so when
a message arrives promising salvation should he enter and
win the Ultratech contest, Sabrewulf is highly suspicious
but obliged to seize any chance that comes his way.
Ending:
With victory, Sabrewulf obtains the cure he sought for so
long from the hands of Ultratech. Cured at last of his curse,

out to prove his worth.
