Characters* *************** ------------ | Sol Badguy | ------------ Story: Rumors of an immensely skilled lone-wolf bounty hunter had reached the ears of Kliff Undersn, the retiring captain of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights. Kliff was interested; he spared no means in finding Sol, and invited him to become a member of the Order. Sol's knighthood, however, was not to last. The growing tension between he and young master swordsman Ky Kiske was becoming more and more bothersome, and Sol realized that the majority of the knights bore him little more than ill will. When he saw his opportunity, he took it; Sol managed to desert the knights' camp with one of the Order's most valuable treasures... the blade known as Fireseal. It is now five years later after the end of the Crusades, and Sol has returned to his former ways. On a particularly lucrative bounty run, one of his marks begs to be spared, telling Sol about a faraway tournament being organized by the Sacred Order. Sol barely even registers the quick thrust with which he ends his bounty's life... as his thoughts are now far away, centered on only one goal... Profile ------- Height: 6' Weight: 163 lbs.

Baldhead: "Are all doctors this crazy?" Millia: "I'm actually fighting a woman?" Testament Quotes ---------------- Sol: "Enough foolish games. Show yourself." Testament: "So, you're able to see me..." Sol: "Anyone could see through such pathetic tricks." "Keeping quiet all these years has been... heavy." "You won't be able to escape a second time." Testament: "Well, well. So you saw right through me..." "This tournament was held just to revive Justice." "You humans fought each other to be sacrifices." "Everyone involved at every level... I duped them all!" "Now its time to end this comedy..." "All I require is the blood of one more sacrifice." Sol: "How trite..." Testament: "Have you no idea what I live for!?" Sol: "Spare me."

"Once again I kneel prostrate at your feet, 'Flame of Corruption!'" Sol: "Right... I won't stop until all the Gears are wiped out." Justice: "Why? You are a Gar as well! You have the emblem on your head" "The mark on your forehead is proof! Then how did you disobey my orders?" Sol: "Why? I ask you the same question..." "Why should I do what you command? What binds me to you?" Justice: "I'm... Type-01... The first Gear ever produced." "The only Gear to be fully self-aware... to have a will of their own!" "And because of that, I wield the power to command all other Gears!" "My word is law!!!" Sol: "Every Gear manufactured after you, the first," "is a production model. Having no will, they can do nothing but to obey you." "So, then, why do you think I don't follow you like a mindless doll?" Justice: "Exactly! Why? HOW can you disobey!?" Sol: "Isn't it obvious? I'm the prototype Gear." Justice: "!!" "Heh heh heh... Now I see..." Sol: "We were forged by the will of greedy human beings." "And so, we're nothing more than a symbol of all that's wrong with the world." "For that reason... I will never stop until I've destroyed every Gear." Justice: "...So that's why..." "...I seem to recall... The G... Gear Project... Long, long ago... "...!?... That's right... Heh heh. H... How could I have forgotten you?" "If only we could have talked one last time... Just the three of us..." Narrarator: "And so, with a rattling chuckle, the ultimate Gear breathed his last." Sol: "...Justice...?" Justice: "That's right... The man who created us..." "...our boss! I won't rest until you lie writhing in agony before me!!!" Narrarator: "Sol, the Guilty Gear, stared at his bloodstained hands and prayed..." "...prayed for the soul of the grotesque sacrifice lying at his feet." ----------- | Ky Kiske | ----------- Story: After the retirement of Kliff Undersn, master swordsman Ky Kiske was given leadership of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights at the unbelievably young age of 16. As a symbol of his new status, he was granted one of the Order's most holy treasures... the blade called Thunderseal. The appointment was not a mistake; Ky and his band of heroic Knights ended the 100-year-long Crusades by sealing the dread Gear, Justice, away for all eternity... or so it was thought. Five years after the dissolution of the Order, Ky continued his life of public service by entering the police force. One day while on duty, Ky received an announcement: A tournament was to be held soon, the winners of which would be candidates for a Second Sacred Order. Things did not seem right; Permission to shed blood during the matches, an absurdly large grand prize, and most shocking of all... talk of Justice's resurrection, much too soon. Sensing the cold machinations of conspiracy at work, Ky dons the old uniform of the Order for the first time in five years and decides to enter. Profile ------- Height: 5'11" Weight: 128 lbs.

Potemkin: "I understand the situation. Leave the rest up to me" Axl: "Your style is interesting. Let's spar again sometime." Zato: "Why was a criminal allowed to enter? This is wrong..." Chipp: "You certainly have talent, but you must learn control." Baldhead: "Repent! Feel the fury of those yo've tortured!" Millia: "You've left the assassins? Please, let me assist you." Testament Quotes ---------------- Ky: "This desolate plateau is the winner's circle?" "Ridiculous! You thought I wasn't aware...?" "Aware of the evil permeating this tournament?" "Show yourself, Gear!" Testament: "Now I see why they call you a genius..." Ky: "So you're the puppet master." "Did you really think I'd let you revive Justice?" "Only a reject like you would make a mistake like this." Testament: "Reject? I'll forgot you said that... Listen," "This tournament was indeed held for the revival." "You humans fought each other to be sacrifices." "Everyone involved at every level... I duped them all!" "Now its time to end this comedy..." "All I require is the blood of one more sacrifice." Ky: "The only blood spilled here will be your own!" "Prepare to die!" Testament's Defeat Quotes ------------------------- Ky: "It's over..." Testament: "Heh heh... so the fabled hero..."

Ending ------ Justice: "I can't believe it... I've been defeated again." Ky: "That's right! Evil has no place in this world!" Justice: "Evil...? How dare you call me evil!?" "...I fight for my own existence. No more, and no less..." Ky: "That can't be your reason for waging war on humans!!" Justice: ". . . . ." "...Look at my body." "I was created by humans to kill humans. ...I'm a weapon." "Yet, the same humans that created me never thought about my mind, or soul." "I'd have been used as a tool... and if I refused, I'd have been dismantled!" Ky: "...I..." Justice: "Ask yourself... Can you truly blame me?" "I was born into this world as a slave... And now you're here to destroy me." "I know humans loathe me violently... and always will" "I could do nothing but live on, if for no other reason than to scorn my creators!" "But what do you think I've been living FOR?" "My duty. My assigned role! I was created to kill, and so I do. It's justice!" Ky: "That's a delusion!!" "What God ordains and wishes for... The order of the world! THAT is justice!!" "If anyone or anything attempts to deprive the world from its freedom..." "...I'll defeat them all!!" Justice: "I see..." "...You should meet the man who created me..." "I wonder if your unwavering faith in justice would continue if you did..." Ky: "Who... who's that!?" Justice: "Heh... My time to depart from this world has come..." "But remember well, young Knight, even if I die, the Gears will not!" "As long... as long as that man... still... lives..." Narrarator: "And so, with a rattling chuckle, the ultimate Gear breathed his last." Ky: "No... you can't die yet!!" "Who...?" "Wasn't I doing the right thing, Lord?" ----- | May | ----- Story: All the girl can remember of her infancy is the image of a suave and daring pirate captain whisking her away from a savage field of battle. The pirate, Johnny, named the orphan May, after the month of endless rain. Throughout the long years of wild living aboard the pirates' airship, May developed a fierce love for Johnny; He was part father figure, part brother, and perhaps even part boyfriend to her. However, one day, Johnny was caught in the act. Though he primarily stole from the well-off to aid those in need, crime is crime, and he was incarcerated. The term was not a short one. Johnny's crew immediately began placing an elaborate breakout. And so, the day before the plan was to commence- "May! Hold on! Is it too late of change the plan?!" "What's up, Chief Adviser April?

Entire Crew: "Aye-aye!!" --------------- | Kliff Undersn | --------------- Story: Kliff was known as a hero: He had bravely led the heroic Sacred Order of Holy Knights for decades during the Crusades. Nevertheless, he was thought of something of a historic relic. In his prime, however, he was regarded with awe... and, truth be told, a bit of fear as well. As a retirement gift, Kliff was given his sword of choice - the priceless treasure Dragonslayer, the gigantic blade that was said to have the power to kill dragons with a single stroke. Five years later, Kliff lives his quiet life of retirement in sheer boredom. His only diversion now is the study of various cultures' fighting techniques, the most interesting of which stemmed from the lost, legendary nation of Japan. However, one day while walking through the streets, he notices a placard announcing a tournament for a proposed Second Sacred Order. Sensing a disturbance in the natural flow of energies, Kliff suddenly suspects something so terrible that he dare not speak it aloud: Is Justice being resurrected? Kliff immediately decides to return to the battlefield... and enter the tournament.

Testament: "Not bad, for such an old man..." Kliff: "My God... y-you're..." Testament: "So you remember me? It's been forty years..." Kliff: "Testament! But... but I killed you! How..??"

The military force of Zepp, composed wholly of slave soldiers wearing anti-desertion bomb collars around their necks, was unsurpassed... the fear of the collars exploding at any given moment was motivation enough to fight. Potemkin was one of these men. "Code 4595605381, Potemkin. We've finally found a use for you and your ridiculous body..." "I refuse. These fists of mine were not made to kill." "Hmph... fine.

Within half a year, he had successfully cleaned up his neighborhood without a single casualty - friend or fore.

With these newfound powers at his command, he was the Assassin leader within weeks. However, Zato was betrayed by the only woman he had ever trusted, an Assassin named Millia, and was arrested. Lanquishing in the utter blackness of his cell, a tall, thin figure appeared before him... "Zato-ONE... Do you want out of there? Isn't there a woman you have a pressing appointment with...?" "Millia! But how do you know of her? Who are you?" "A tournament is to begin soon, the winner of which will have whatever they desire. If you win, you'll be free. Free to find this woman... to punish her..." "...Heh... I don't know what you're after, but what have I got to lose? Let me out... and count me in!" Profile ------- Height: 5'11" Weight: 150 lbs. Blood Type: A Birthplace: Spain Birthday: January 28th Eye Color: Formerly blue Hobbies: Attempting to understand the language of the flowers Favorite Thing: His pride Dislikes: That woman Weapon: Shadows Quote: "By my shadow, I will annihilate that woman!" Victory Quotes -------------- Sol: "How can you touch a shadow? It's impossible." Ky: "Ha! You mean to say THIS is the power of a Holy Knight?" May: "When little brats bother me like this, they die!" Kliff: "And you used to be a hero, old man? Can you even see?" Potemkin: "Your massive size is useless against a shadow." Axl: "My mind can detect and defeat any attack." Chipp: "At least it was funny watching you fly around." Baldhead: "...Hmmm. Quite an unusual opponent." Millia:(rival) "At last...! Only your blood can ease my soul..." Testament Quotes ---------------- Zato: "Victory..." "So, is this it? Am I free?" Testament: "Well done. However... one match remains." Zato: "You! You're the one who told me to enter..." "And I defeated all of the enterants, didn't I?" Testament: "I'm afraid not. You have one more opponent - me." Zato: "You... you didn't mention that before!" Testament: "Heh... you, who are so fond of deceiving..." "...can't stand to be deceived, eh? "This tournament was held just to revive Justice." "You humans fought each other to be sacrifices." "Everyone involved at every level... I duped them all!" "Now its time to end this comedy..." "All I require is the blood of one more sacrifice." Zato: "Damn it! I'll kill you!" Testament Defeat Quotes ----------------------- Zato: "Did I win?" "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!" "Of course! How could I possibly lose!?" Testament: "I'm defeated. Do you think you'll be famous, now?" Zato: "Shut your mouth, loser..." "And prepare for eternal darkness!" Testament: "I don't enjoy watching you bald monkeys..." "But you're exceptional!

B... back! Get back!!" Shadow: "It's too late... you can't control me any longer." "Nevertheless, I owe you a certain degree of thanks for... incubating me." Zato: "Am I going mad!? My shadow is speaking!" Shadow: "Ha! You thought you could manipulate me forever!?" "Gears weren't the only weapons developed by the ancient military complex." "We were also created... self-aware life-forms with indeterminate shape." Zato: "This cannot be! You're not alive! You're my shadow!" "I used the forbidden arts to trade my sight for control over you...!" Shadow: "So easily fooled! Some humans know we exist," "though they regard us with derision. In fact, we're the more evolved lifeform." Zato: "... Ha, ha, ha... So... you fooled me completely..." "Ha, ha, ha... How amusing... Heh... heh heh..." "N... NO!! I don't want to die!

We need bodies that belong to" "people with weak and fragile minds... criterial you fit perfectly!" Zato: "AAARRRGH...!" Shadow: "Heh heh heh heh heh!!" ***************************** *5. Secrets and spoiler info* ***************************** The only secret that I know of is that to get secret characters, just beat them in the Arcade mode. (Ex: To get Testament, beat him.) To fight Baiken, you have to beat everyone (including Testament and Justice) without using an extra continue and using either Sol or Ky. That sounds hard but it didn't take me that long. Just don't use destroyers unless you are good at countering it because later opponents will use it if you used it(especially Chipp and Kliff). Don't try on Testament or Justice because they will just counter it (I've done it before few times on Testament but only once on Justice). Another thing that is sorta a secret is that X O T ￾ chooses your costume colors. O chooses your character's normal colors. X chooses their main as normal and sub as alternate. T chooses their main and sub alternate. ￾ chooses their main alternate and sub normal. Hidden character info: Sol --- One of the prototype Gears. He cannot be controlled by Justice. May --- She is a Japanese child. She is connected to the Crusades. Testament --------- He is a Gear that wants Justice's revival. Despite what he looks like and what people say, he is not a girl or a hermaphrodite. Kliff says Testament is his son. May also calls him mister. He is also adopted by Kliff during the Crusades. Justice ------- He is the first Gear to be fully self-aware. He can control other Gears made after him. Baiken: ------- She is the person who created Gears. She is now trying to get rid of them. ****************** *6. Contributions* ****************** None yet :-( *************** *7.
