Image/Appearance:
History: Prince Duroc is Prince Goro's older brother. While he was a strong and proud Shokan, he was a man of honor and loyalty, a trait some saw as a weakness. One day, the two fought in the bottomless pit for a rare, jeweled egg with which they would pay tribute to their father, King Gorbak. The battle ended with Goro hanging off a cliff. Duroc helped his brother back up, but was betrayed by him and knocked off of the cliff himself. Goro took the egg to pay tribute to their father and became the new and only Shokan Prince from that day forward.
Duroc survived the fall, but knew he could not go back home. He would be killed on sight for his weakness. The disgraced Prince fled his father's realm and wandered Outworld, seeking the means of preparing himself for an eventual return. After all, Gorbak would one day pass, and Goro would be all alone, as Duroc could not bring himself to rise up against his father. He took up studying magic to use as a tool to help him.
Years later, word was spread. King Gorbak had passed.
It was time.
Duroc sought out allies, and found one in the revenant General of Shinnok, Liu Kang. The once human who beat Goro and ruined his winning streak. Duroc eagerly accepted an alliance, as they had a common foe and a shared lust for revenge. He would kill his brother and give his soul to Shinnok as repayment for reclaiming what should have been his throne. It would be a fitting fate, Duroc finally casting him into darkness. Fair is fair after all.
Equipment: He wields a pair of maces. Crude looking but when backed by his might can pulverize a man sized granite boulder when both hit at the same time, full force.
Powers: Duroc is a skilled grappler and is seen and a very skilled based fighter, perhaps a bit flashy for a Shokan. In his youth he seemed to be better skilled than his younger brother, though it is likely at the point the two are evenly matched. Yet Duroc is strong enough to dismember a humanoid opponent with they were made of wet tissue paper. Like most Shokan a favorite tactic is to jump up and stomp his foes, which can decimate them through sheer force. He can shoot fireballs or blasts of flame from his mouth. The flame is purple due to it being enhanced by dark magics.
Duroc has taught himself sorcery in his exile, though mostly he uses spells to double his power, heal minor injuries (No limb regrowing or organ replacement, just minor woulds and broken bones) or enhance his flame blasts. One of his few non enhancement spells include firing a glowing ring around his foes, able of binding someone as strong as he for about 5 seconds, enough time to pounce on a foe. He uses a variation of this as a fatality, shooting four bands around his foe, crushing their knees and elbows, so that he can walk over and incinerate them while they are crippled. He has a second fatality where he beats on his foe, uppercuts then, only to jump up and basically drive them into the ground with a massive stomp, scattering their bits all over.
Skills: Duroc is a skilled Shokan warrior and is well versed in magics and mystical lore.
Weaknesses: His honorable nature can get the better of him, as proven when he was betrayed by his younger brother Goro.
Trivia:
- He is based on an obscure character featured in a bad animated MK video called the Journey Begins which was meant to build up hype for the first Movie.
- He is technically non canon.
