Darrius (Midway)

==Summary==
<tabber>
|-|Summary=
Darrius is a playable fighter who debuted in Mortal Kombat Deception.
Hailing from the Orderrealm, a world where order in all things is paramount, Darrius is the one esteemed leader of a resistance movement that strives to defenestrate the oppressive Seidan government for the sake of freedom. Although he is a fairly skilled warrior who can readily draw upon his own abilities in kombat, Darrius prefers to fight indirectly through planning, scheming, and sending agents to execute his vision for a vast revolution (even if it means shedding blood), all while he hides in the shadows to the advantage of the resistance.

All previous abilities enhanced, plus the following:
*Flight (Restricted flight via the air kombat system, allowing fighters to engage in prolonged kombat with others while airborneMortal Kombat: Armageddon's Teaser Trailer“Long ago, the Gods foresaw that the fury of Mortal Kombat would lead to the destruction of the realm. [...] They said that battle will not be confined to the ground...”)
*Minor Reality Warping (All kombatants will grow as strong as what WoG calls “superpowered warriors” or “superior kombatants” and gain the ability to tap into the forces that bind the realms through sheer kombat.Mortal Kombat: Unchained - Blaze's biography“For millennia I existed for one purpose... to monitor the strength of the world's kombatants. My creator foresaw a time when warriors would become too powerful and threaten all of existence.”Mortal Kombat: Unchained - Blaze's biography“During my quest, I was overpowered by holy men who served Onaga. For ages I was bound by their sorcery and oblivious to the growing strength of Ki Chao warriors. Finally free, I have emerged to discover beings whose power and numbers exceed that which the realms can sustain.”Mortal Kombat: Armageddon - Blaze's biography“I searched the realms to find a concentration of warriors with the ability to tap into the forces that bind the realms. What I discovered alarmed me! The number of kombatants had grown since I last walked among them. [...] I could feel the strain upon the realms and concluded that the time had come: I would awaken the brothers and begin the second phase of the quest.” In practice, this allows them to weaken the bond between realms whenever they engage in battle, said weakening becoming stronger the more intense the battle they're participating in is, like a war. This will eventually undo all realms and destroy existence through an accumulated effort, as in more kombatants must fight to eventually destroy the realms.Mortal Kombat: Armageddon - Konquest ModeBlaze: “Your mother, my creator, foresaw the coming Armageddon: that through Mortal Kombat, warriors would unknowingly tap into the very forces that make reality possible. Those warriors are in the crator [sic] below, engaged in Mortal Kombat.”Taven: “All of them? But with that many fighting in one place...”Blaze: “This crater will be the origin of the Apocalypse unless something is done to prevent it.”)

Attack Potency: At least Small Building level (Scaling to the strongest Test Your Might feat of shattering a diamond block) | Town level (Scaling to Taven who can survive a hit from a meteor, due to the kombatants of the realms inevitably growing as powerful as "superpowered warriors" like Shao Kahn and Raiden, allowing even lesser fighters to fight equally with them in Armageddon,Mortal Kombat: Armageddon - Blaze's Trading Kard (Bio)John Vogel: “Blaze is a firespawn who was created by an Edenian sorceress. His initial purpose was to wander the realms and keep an eye out for super powered warriors: Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn, even Raiden. The sorceress had a vision that eventually there would be too many of these superpowered warriors and eventually will cause Armageddon” such as Jax fighting Quan Chi, despite the former being overwhelmed by Tarkatan hordes before his death in Deadly Alliance.Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance - Jax's biography“During our assault on the Deadly Alliance, we were overwhelmed by Tarkatan hordes. The last thing I remember seeing was Raiden blasting his way into the main hall. I was later resurrected by Onaga...” Scaling to Blaze who can displace storm clouds that he formed when the Pyramid of Argus that he was on burst from the earth, since Argus anticipated a plan that would make use of the kombatants' growing power,Mortal Kombat: Armageddon - Intro cinematicNarrator: “There have been many powerful warriors throughout the millennia. But ages of Mortal Kombat have begun to tear at the fabric of the realms. The critical point has finally been reached. It was foreseen that kombatants would one day grow too powerful and too numerous. If left unchecked, their intensifying kombat would weaken and shatter the realms... and bring about... the apocalypse. The Elder Gods demanded a safeguard be put in place to avoid total destruction. One that would make use of the kombatants' insatiable bloodlust. Like moths to flame, they would be drawn to battle.” plus Blaze certainly believed that he could be defeated by any one of them,Mortal Kombat: Armageddon - Konquest ModeBlaze: “The quest has been corrupted. All did not go exactly as my creator had foreseen it. You are in the wrong location. I will transport you to the rim of the crater where the final battle will take place. The quest will conclude when one of you defeats me there in kombat. We must make haste! Many warriors are gathering. If I am defeated by one of them, they will steal the prize and the true purpose of the quest will have failed. Armageddon will be upon you all.” meaning they scale to Blaze)

Intelligence:
<tabber>
|-|Planning=
Above Average (Seeking to add a very powerful warrior to his ranks from the Seidan Guardsmen, he orchestrated the murders of Dairou's family with an unknown assassin, knowing that he could exploit Dairou's rage over their deaths to get him to murder the assassin, a crime that Darrius knew would get him imprisoned by the very authorities he faithfully served and subsequently make him feel indignant and betrayed. This caused Dairou to no longer serve the Seidan and allowed Darrius to easily recruit him as a powerful mercenary)
|-|Kombat=
Above Average (Compared to most fighters in Mortal Kombat, he is average in skills with his knowledge in three fighting styles and one weapon style. Can orchestrate riots and prison breaks with the Resistance against the Seidan Guardsmen with some success, such as the one that broke Dairou out of prison)
