Name: Cain Harlocke | Stats

Campaign: ULTRA

Current Record: 2-2-0

Entrance Theme: Just Another Victim by Cypress Hill

For those of you not familiar with ULTRA, the best way to describe this massive crossover fanfic is as anime/videogames meets the WWE. Basically, you've got a massive gathering of characters competing in all kinds televised matches and mayhem, live from the Ultra Dome every week. There's a lot of chapters to it, but if you've ever got eight or so hours to kill, I highly recommend checking it out.

Now, fast forward a bit. Our dear friend Galen decides to run a BESM campaign, electing to use the whole ULTRA-verse as the setting. We are charged with creating our own characters, setting out to forge our respective destinies in the federation.

Cain Harlocke is a young man from San Diego who got into the martial arts at an early age. He even spent some time on THE Street Fighter circuit, so he recognizes a lot of the faces around ULTRA; he, however, wasn't very significantly ranked, so no one's really heard of him. Nonetheless, there came a time where he and his childhood friend Sumire (TC's character) decided to go their separate ways to train, electing to meet back in a year. Cain's path takes him to several places within Asia, and in his journeys he comes across the mysterious Sen Tora (one of Galen's people), who trains the young man. A year passes, and Cain is presented with two invitations- one for him, and one for Sumire- for ULTRA. Since arriving, the young man's life has been anything but normal. He's been whacked with steel chairs, been involved in a tag-team Dance Dance Revolution competition, had BITCH written across his chest in Sharpie by Marlo (ULTRA's resident furniture summoner), and even held the Gamma Division Championship after defeating Sagat in perhaps the fluke of the year. He was also a finalist in his title defense, the infamous Five-Way Fatal Free-For-All on the Freeway match at the last Pay Per View, edging out Sagat, Tifa, and got mad revenge on Marlo by kicking the absolute CRAP out of him with the jump kick to end all jump kicks (Marlo's Momentum on Rolling Couch + [Attack Roll of 2 * triple damage] = Bye Bye, Beyotch). He ended up losing to his Sensei Sen Tora in one hellified nasty brawl once the two made it back into the arena and the ring. There are some changes on the front for the young man, as he's recently been taken under the wing of a mysterious Mr. Kenn, who intends on bringing out Cain's full potential as a fighter. Unfortunately his methods involve some brain-washing and things of that nature, so it's probably not going to be a very pleasant experience.

He's a loveable goof. He'll say some of the most outlandishly stupid things from time to time, but he's always trying to entertain the masses. Whether he's giving it all in a match, or unleashing a savage taunting on someone, he's all about entertaining the crowd. Cain's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, though; it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that some people (like Sagat) just don't like being taunted.

Favorite Insult: "Arg... I be the dread butt-pirate Sagat!", stated shortly before almost getting beheaded by said individual.

Random Sidenote: Where did the name Cain Harlocke come from? Fire Pro Wrestling, believe it or not. For those of you not familiar with the game, one of FPW's claims to fame is that they will take recognizable characters from various wrestling federations, but will change their names in order to avoid lawsuits and the like. Ken Shamrock is in the game, but under the name Cain Harlock; I'm not sure why, but the name's stuck with me. It just sounds cool.

The Future: Cain's a lot of fun. I'd like to do more with him, possibly bringing him into other projects. If nothing else though, I guarantee that he'll be making an appearance on my roster when the new Smackdown! game hits the PS2 this week.
