Fighting Techniques
Nan Chuan :: It is a composite style built from elements of various other Southern styles of kung-fu. Historically, Southern Chinese tended to be shorter, with shorter limbs. As a result, the martial arts of the South evolved in a way that accommodates their shorter reach. This manifested itself in attacks that are most effective at short to middle range. Nan Chuan contains a greater number and variety of hand techniques, and fewer leg techniques.
Jujitsu :: This is a term used to refer to unarmed Japanese combat. Historically, there are more than 750 documented varieties of Jujitsu. In general, Jujitsu tends to be comprehensive in the sense that they teach hand and foot strikes, throwing, joint-locks and ground fighting. Today, Jujitsu is most commonly associated with throws, joint-locks and ground fighting.
Staff :: The cudgel (long staff) has existed as a weapon since man first started fighting with hand weapons.
Lord Raiden's Story
Mystery surrounds the contestant in the Shaolin Tournament who calls himself Raiden. This fighter is the God of Thunder and Lightning, which explains his ability to shoot deadly lightning bolts from his fists. Used correctly, these Thunder Bolts are his most powerful weapon.
The mystery man can also shoot himself like a torpedo, directly at his opponent, and he can appear and disappear at will. Raiden fears no living creature, and has issued this warning to his enemies: "All who oppose me will be crushed!"
The name Raiden is actually that of a deity known as the God of Thunder and Lightning in Oriental legends. Raiden also serves as the Protector of Earth Realm. He helps the Earth warriors understand the Tournament and tries to help them win it. With his wisdom, the Earth warriors were able to defeat Shang Tsung and save the Earth from falling in the hands of the evil emperor Shao Kahn.
From the evil plan of Shao Kahn to ressurrect his long dead wife on Earth, which will enable him to open the portals to this realm, Raiden stood powerless to interfere. As a god, he was left unable to help the Earth warriors because the realm was in already in the hands of the evil emperor. The Earth warriors were the only chance for the realm to survive. As they fought out their first battles against the Outworld warriors, Raiden made a difficult decision. He decided to give up his own immortality to be able to fight alongside the Earth warriors during the invasion and, ultimately, help them defeat Shao Kahn.
VERSION 1.0 \\ FIRE FROM HEAVEN
"And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spake as a dragon. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth..."
~ The Holy Bible's Book of Revelation, 13:11-14
The launching layout of Immortal has the Mortal Kombat Dragon juxtaposed with two pictures of Raiden on a black, brown, gold and yellow design. The overall theme is of lightning, the most prominent manifestation of the God of Thunder and Lightning's powers. The electrifying immortal is shown as he is beautifully, brilliantly portrayed by Christopher Lambert in the 1995 movie Mortal Kombat. All images, although heavily edited, are kredited to MortalKombat.com and The Mortal Kombat Warriors Site.
Version title of Fire From Heaven and the lines appearing on the design are from the Holy Bible's Book of Revelation, Chapter 13, Verses 11 to 14. These words reminded me greatly of Mortal Kombat's symbolisms and the powers wielded by Raiden himself. Design pieced together using Adobe Photoshop 7.0. HTML koded with Notepad.
