Raoh: Difference between revisions

: Raoh was originally a native from the island of [[Shura no Kuni|Shura]]. After the death of his mother, Raoh was orphaned and sent to the mainland by [[Jukei]], along with his little brother Toki and the baby [[Kenshirō]] to train with Ryuken, the master of [[Hokuto Shin Ken]]. When they met Ryuken, he left Raoh and Toki at the bottom of a canyon and promised he would only adopt the one who made it to the top first. Raoh clawed himself to the summit but carried Toki with him and ordered Ryuken to adopt both of them. Ryuken was moved by this act and agreed, taking Raoh as his apprentice. Raoh trained hard under Ryuken, filled with the desire to become the strongest. He made a promise with Toki that, should he fall victim to his own ambition, his little brother would stop him at any cost.

==The King of Fist==

: Despite his fearsome strength and ability, Raoh's childhood dream had turned into violent ambition, causing Ryuken to choose Kenshirō as the successor of Hokuto Shin Ken. Subsequently, Raoh broke the 1800 year law of Hokuto by refusing to give up his power. Ryuken tried to stop him from misusing the Hokuto style, but Raoh killed him and left the temple to further his ambition. He assumed the title of Ken-Oh (拳王 '''Fist King''') and amassed an army to conquer the wasteland with terror. Among those to join under his banner were [[Jagi]], [[Amiba]], [[Yuda]] and [[Ryūga]].

: Raoh used the mighty stronghold of [[Cassandra]] as a prison for martial artists, whose secret scrolls he had stolen to perfect the ultimate fighting style. He also kept Toki imprisoned there to prevent him joining forces with Kenshirō. However, Cassandra was destroyed by Kenshirō and Toki was rescued. Raoh launched an invasion on [[Mamiya|Mamiya's]] village, where he fought with [[Rei]] of the [[Nanto Suichō Ken]] style and defeated him with a fatal blow. Kenshirō challenged Raoh for revenge and the two battled to a bloody standstill, after Toki intervened to stop them killing each other. Sometime later, Raoh finally fought with Toki to settle their childhood promise. Toki, weakened by disease, was defeated by Raoh but spared in a rare act of mercy.

: Raoh would later fight against the [[Nanto Gosha Sei]], guardians of the Last Nanto General. When Raoh discovered the General's real identity was [[Yuria]], the love of his life and Kenshirō's fiancée, he marched onwards to claim her for himself. However, he was met by Kenshirō, who had learned the ultimate Hokuto Shin Ken technique - [[Musō Tensei]] - which overwhelmed him with fear. Raoh managed to escape with Yuria in his clutches and decided that killing her would give him the sadness needed to learn Musō Tensei. However, at the last moment, he discovered Yuria was hiding a terminal illness all this time, which moved Raoh to tears and stopped him from killing her. Instead, he placed her in a false coma, slowing the spread of disease. This sorrow was enough for Raoh to learn Musō Tensei and he faced Kenshirō at the [[Hokuto Renkitōza]] for their final duel. Despite a heroic battle, Raoh's fist lacked the power to kill Kenshirō, who was guided by the spirits of his fallen rivals. Conceding defeat to his opponent, Raoh proclaimed to have no regrets and sent his life-force into the sky, bringing light back to the world.
