Biography

Born in the regions of Outworld, this fighter was created by fusing the weapons of Shao Kahn's fallen warriors. Armarod has the power to alter parts of his body into the various weapons that make up his anatomy. He is also able to absorb other weapons into his body to become a part of him and increase his power slightly. Because of this, many warriors refused to fight Armarod using their weapons as he would simply absorb them. However, despite this ability he is among the lowest ranking warriors of Shao Kahn's forces, often cast aside in favor of his more elite creations Ermac, Mileena, and Skarlet. Armarod has spent his entire life looked down upon by Shao Kahn's warriors, being ridiculed and referred to as a measly "pocket knife". Because of this emotional pain, he desires to prove himself worthy and will take it upon himself to eliminate all of Shao Kahn's artificial warriors and Shao Kahn himself while also claiming his hammer.

1st Timeline: Ermac, Mileena, and Skarlet were favored among all of Shao Kahn's artificial fighers while Armarod would usually remain chained in the dungeons. Knowing that Shao Kahn would not regret Armarod's death, Motaro takes it upon himself to kill Armarod during the events of MK3. Armarod dies by Motaro's hands after Motaro returns from the invasion of Earthrealm. Because of his death, he's never present in the upcoming events of the original timeline up to Armageddon.

2nd Timeline: The same events up to the invasion of Earthrealm follow however since Raiden had killed Motaro in the alternate timeline, Armarod never dies at his hands and therefore lives on. He breaks free from the dungeons and decides to eliminate his artificial bretheren in order to prove to them all that he's the superior being. This includes Ermac, Mileena, and Skarlet. He also plans on destroying Shao Kahn in order to free himself from his will while also claiming his hammer for himself.

Battle Cry

Armarod drops down into the battle field using his Teleport Drop and with a blade for a hand. He turns his hand back to normal and makes a fist with it exclaiming "I'll show you what I'm really made of."

Winning Pose

Armarod crosses his arms, chuckles, then holds out a black rose which he tosses to the viewer/player.

Special Moves

Jigsaw: Armarod extends the saw teeth along his back, curls into a ball, and spins at his foe rapidly along the floor like a saw.

Consume: Armarod glows red and absorbs any incoming projectiles into his body without taking any damage. Can not be used to absorb Shao Kahn's Hammer Toss.

Teleport Drop: Armarod teleports to the other side of screen and drops down on his opponent with spikes on the bottom of his feet.

Rock, Paper, Scissors: Armarod turns his arms into a pair of seperate scissor blades, slices the opponent across the waste, then slams them overhead.

Smashy-Smashy: Armarod turns his fist into a large mace and slams it on the floor causing a tremor which knocks his opponent into the air for a juggle.

Bite the Bullet: Armarod throws a chomping bear trap on a chain at his opponent which latches onto them.

X-Ray Move

Buzz Kill: Armarod charges at the opponent with his bladed hair, impales them in the stomach, then proceeds to tear at their insides grinding his hair like a buzz saw. He then turns his hand into a mace and punches the opponent's face, dislocating the jaw.

Fatalities

You Are What You Eat: Armarod punches into the opponent's stomach and turns his fist into several giant spikes which pierces the opponent from the inside. The opponent's limbs and body parts remain impaled on the spikes as Armarod raises them above his head in victory.

Pizza Cutter: Armarod turns his hair into a giant knife blade then slices the opponent in half vertically.

Friendship if they ever bring them back in the future

The Great Armetto: Armarod whittles a wooden puppet of himself from wood using his own hands to carve it then puts on a little show for his opponent.

Animality if they ever bring them back in the future

Eagle: Armarod transforms into an eagle and shoots razor sharp feathers at his foe.

Babality if they ever bring them back in the future

Armarod tries to perform his Jigsaw special move but gets his hair blades stuck in the floor leaving him upside down. He cries and throws a tantrum as he tries to get free.

Hara-Kiri if they ever bring them back in the future

Close Shave: Armarod releases the bear trap on his mask to snap his own head off, killing himself.

Ending

"Shao Kahn should never have underestimated Armarod. He slew the emperor and claimed his hammer just as he desired. Shao Kahn's hammer absorbed into Armarod's body and became a part of him increasing his power tenfold. He would use this newfound power to eradicate Shao Kahn's creations for good and prove that he was the more superior being. However, much to his surprise, after Shao Kahn's death the artificial beings were no longer bound to the emperor's will. Armarod took this into account and spared their lives. He offered his artificial bretheren a chance to join him realizing they no longer had to serve Shao Kahn. They agreed. With Ermac, Mileena, and Skarlet at his side, Armarod set out to claim yet another valuable weapon. The sword of a son of Argus."

Get over here!
@MKWARRIOR1989 Dont listen to people making fun of you on here. I can tell you put a lot of work and thought into this stuff and it is really pretty good. One thing to note is that this site is really more focused on competitive gameplay in mortal kombat which is why most forum members are here. The character lore side of things is not as big of a thing on tym which is probably why you will get some condescending responses.
