Solo (Strider)

Solo, also known as Inferno, SOLO and The Flame Thrower Wielding Maniac, is a character from the Strider series.
== Charactah Account ==
A freelance assassin and bounty hunter, Solo's body is fitted with a reinforced armor that grants him free-flying capabilities and a speed boost that makes him fly at an incredible speed, such that he leaves several after-images as he moves around. In stark contrast to Hiryu's melee-focused style, Solo fights by wielding long-range firearms and explosives: usually wielding a large-caliber or cannon-like weapon in one hand with great dexterity, while holding a side arm on his free hand for cover or employing other powerful weapons including homing missiles, energy rings and concussive proximity mines.
Solo is a ruthless and dangerous killer, a lone hunter who only trusts himself and takes great pride over standing alone as the world's "strongest man", unmatched and undefeated in battle. He is considered to be Hiryu's destined arch-rival, awaiting the confrontation between his destructive weapons and Hiryu's martial arts mastery in which only one man will survive. In the end, however, Solo is not quite on Hiryu's level of skill or ability, making him invariably pursue Hiryu for a rematch in order to settle the score.
