Shinnok image and biography
One of the most influential bosses "Mortal Kombat" has an incredible force. Darkness gave it exclusive abilities, for example, the ability to imitate the techniques of other warriors. Such borrowing allows the villain to give a decent fighter to the strongest opponents.In addition, the antagonist is seized a couple of receptions, which practically do not leave the chance of enemies. For example, he knows how to create portals in hell. From there, bone hands appear suddenly, which either destroy the enemy or delay it.
And if there is an amulet in Shinnok, then it becomes a demon immune to any attacks, including magical. Also using this artifact launches a fireball.
In the arsenal of the villain there is an energy shield and a spear, which he borrowed from Scorpion. Teleporting, the character attacks the enemy in the jump or behind the back. Among the techniques of finishing, players are distinguished by nameless fatalith.
The character uses several styles. The most popular remains "game in the bone" or "bone creator", in which the character calls hands from the underworld for the attack. In the style of the "impostor" or "deceiver" prevails mimicry, as well as a combo from special services. In Nekromanta, the villain also opens portals.
The most powerful ways to attack the enemy are available in the final, demonic version of the character in the game Mortal Kombat X. The appearance of the villain is a horned demon who borrowed the overall features from another hero Dark Cana.
Shinnok biography is calculated by millennia. Like other older gods, he saw how the worlds are created and destroyed. It pushed the villain to thoughts about the seizure of power. To begin with, I decided to enslave one of the young worlds - the Earth Kingdom.
However, certain difficulties have arisen with the execution of the plan, because on guard stood Raiden. Shinok overestimated his abilities, for which he paid. And the main thing - Raiden managed to pick up an amulet from the fallen god, who allowed the worlds to cross them freely. The very same villain defender the earth kingdom sent to hell.
In imprisonment, the captive spent thousands of years, clapped by Lucifer. But everything changed when the necromancer Kuan Chi learned about this. He decided to conclude an agreement with the fallen God and release him. In return, the sorcerer demanded the promise that he would make it the chief ruler. The point is left for the small - find the amulet of the fallen God.
Together with Shinok, the sorcerer conducted a war against Lucifer and defeated the former ruler of the underworld. In the place of devastated hell, the fallen God tried to symotize the physical world, which would like to go to the earthly kingdom. True, he had some kind of rule, and even the humanifshed demons were little like alive.
After a century, Kuan Chi almost left attempts to get the very amulet who could turn the course of history. The situation acquired another turn when the necromanta proposed a profitable deal of sorcerer Shang Tsung. He came up with a plan for the conquest of the earth's kingdom, but for this the fallen God had to first curse the soul of Calpan, and then reborn her on earth.
In return, Shang Tsung pointed out the location of the temple in the mountains of Asia, where the amulet was kept. Kuan Chi himself could not enter the temple, because the gods were on the guard of the four elements. Therefore, the necromancer appealed to two extra-class mercenaries from hostile clans - Scorpio and Sab-Ziro.
The latter managed to plunge the powerful keepers of the temple, but God Raidally later returned amulet to the place. And this meant that Shinok was still not a chance to penetrate other worlds.
However, using the betrayal of Tanya, the ruler of the underworld managed to attack heaven. Demons-servants with special cruelty killed the elder gods, but the Risen Scorpio was kuan chi. Shinnok, remaining without support, lost in the battle Liu Kanga. And then again went to hell.
Again, the ruler of hell gave itself to know about himself in Armageddon. Argus, defender of Eden and Delia, his wife, got into sight. Delia possessed the gift of foresight and predicted the death of all worlds due to the fact that too many strong warriors appeared.
The elder gods instructed the rulers of Edenia to prevent the Apocalypse. Argus, having learned from the wife where the final battle occurs, ordered the pyramid there. Also, the gods created a fiery elemental blaze that he restrained powerful opponents.
Then Argus and Delia decided to hold a contest between their sons, choosing the strongest - he had to become the main defender of Eden. To do this, they had to get a magical armor and a sword in the temples of the Earth Kingdom.
Shinok said this, realizing that it was possible to get rid of all warriors from all the warriors that prevented his absolute power. To fulfill the plan, he pulled on his side of one of the sons of Argus, Daigon, convincing him that the parents began to face his brother Taiven.
Daigon, blinded by emotions, killed his father and mother, and after enslaved Karo, with the help of which could open portals to other worlds. The prophecy began to come true, but the Final Battle won Shao Kan, destroying blazes, and then all the warriors near the pyramid.
