"Don't be fooled by his angelic appearance! Those black flames look like bad business! OROCHI CHRIS." - The King of Fighters XV

Orochi Chris (ć‚Ŗ惭惁ć‚ÆćƒŖć‚¹), also named as "Chris of the Destiny of Flames" (ē‚Žļ¼ˆć»ć®ćŠļ¼‰ć®ć•ć ć‚ć®ć‚ÆćƒŖć‚¹) is the Heavenly King title of Chris. This is an alternate form of Chris that was introduced in The King of Fighters '97 as part of the sub-boss team, alongside Orochi Shermie and Orochi Yashiro.

Personality[]

Chris becomes more sadistic, showing his true malice and hatred for humanity. Like his usual self, he's introverted and rarely talks to unfamiliar people, threatening unwelcome people with his flames. In confrontations, he becomes sarcastic and arrogant, even when facing opponents that are actually stronger than him. He becomes a borderline psychopath in this persona.

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.
