Dairou

How Dairou joined the Tourney
Dairou was supposed to appear in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance but he didn't make the final cut. He is a former Seidan guard, who was imprisoned for killing the man who murdered his family. After escaping prison Dairou went rogue and decided to work as a mercenary. He takes assignments where he can find them, whether they are noble or not.

Hired to kill a Czech arms dealer in Earthrealm, Dairou finds himself competiting with a Pars Marzban Kubard.

Tombstone Drop (Side)
Dairou falls flat on his back, causing his opponent to fly into the air, leaving a possibility for a juggling combo.

Arm Garrote (Up)
Dairou jumps into the air with his arms open. If he hits, he wraps a wire around the opponent's neck, then comes down swinging the opponent down while hurting his/her neck.

Leg Twister (Down)
Dairou reaches to grab his opponent. If he does, he twists the opponent's legs, then kicks him/her away.

Stretch and Slam (Hyper Smash)
Based on his first Mortal Kombat: Deception Fatality. Dairou knocks the opponent down while holding their arms and rests a foot on their spine. From there, Dairou begins pulling violently against the limbs and then releases, sending the opponent into the ground with full force, causing them to explode.

Chinese Surgery (Final Smash)
Dairou runs swiftly to his opponent with his Autumn Dao ready. If he hits, he stabs the opponent with the dao and pulls out the liver, then does two cuts and cuts out the stomach, then goes behind and punctures the opponent's lungs with his hands, then finally, he cuts out the opponent's heart with his sword, leaving a Stamina KO cry and a life lost from the stock.
