"Don't be fooled by his angelic appearance! Those black flames look like bad business! OROCHI CHRIS." - The King of Fighters XV
Orochi Chris (オロチクリス), also named as "Chris of the Destiny of Flames" (
Personality
Chris becomes a deeply disturbed and malevolent individual, revealing his true malice and hatred for humanity. Like his usual self, he remains introverted and rarely speaks to unfamiliar people, often threatening unwelcome intrusions with his flames. In confrontations, he transforms into a sadistic and arrogant figure, taking great pleasure in tormenting and destroying his opponents, reveling in their suffering with twisted glee. Even when facing opponents stronger than himself, he exudes sarcasm and mockery, displaying a dangerous overconfidence rooted in his belief that he is vastly superior to others, whom he dismisses as "worms" or "insects."
In this state, Chris becomes a borderline psychopath, driven by an apocalyptic worldview. Loyal to the Orochi entity, he channels its power with single-minded intent, wielding his flames as an extension of his hatred and contempt for humanity. He views these flames in a possessive, intimate way, seeing them as a manifestation of his will to destroy the "conceited fools" who populate the world.
Powers
- Pyrokinesis - Power granted by Orochi, Chris is able to control fire. He cannot control the fire he didn't create and is not immune to other types of fire. His flames have a blue/purple tint, much like Iori Yagami's.
- Create Fire - Chris can create fire from thin air. He always fights with one flame in each hand, probably for intimidation.
- Flame bursts - Chris can create small bursts of fire seemingly from thin air. He usually creates three of such bursts in a row, in an area where the opponent is in range.
- Fire Attacks - Chris can infuse his attacks with fire.
- Fire Barrier - Chris can create a barrier made of fire around him. He usually proceeds to charge the opponent one to three times while the barrier is active, burning his enemy severely.
- Levitation and Flight - In KOF XV as can be seen in various attacks, intro and victory pose, Chris can levitate and fly up to a certain distance.
- Orochi Power - As a Heavenly King, Chris has limited control over the Orochi Power.
- Activate Riot of the Blood - Chris can activate the Riot of the Blood in people who are susceptible to it.
- Syphon - Chris can channel and transfer energy to Orochi.
- Catalyst of Orochi - Chris' body was chosen to be Orochi's catalyst, and such, the higher being can incarnate in him if he so wishes and have enough power to do so.
Fighting Style
His fighting style remains almost unchanged; of course, he now adapts it to suit his fiery attacks, in that only his special moves and DMs are different. He imitates some of Kyo Kusanagi's moves, especially his signature move, the Orochinagi, being his counterpart.
