General:
Ben Ferris was yet
another victim of Ultratech's cruel games. He had been serving a
lengthy jail sentence for numerous counts of robbery, assualt, and he was
a prime suspect in a string of murders that had occured before he was jailed.
Because of this, he was eligible for transfer to Utlratech. In order
to help out with overcrowding prisons, Ultratech had made an offer to the
government; give them a handful of prisoners every month, and for a small
handling fee,, the government wouldn't ask what they were doing with the
convicts. President Sheridan managed to determine who exactly in
Congress was corrupt enough to agree to such a bargain, and the deal was
struck. Ben Ferris was one of the few inmates who actually got a choice
as to whether or not he would let Ultratech experiment on him. He
initially resisted, but Sheridan filled his head with dreams of power.
The corporate president promised Ben that he would be a super human, superior
to everyone else. Ben finally agreed, and even became excited by
the prospect. However, during the experiements, a horrible accident occured.
Many scientists were killed, including Dr. Scott Fulgore, a department
chair for Ultratech's engineering department. Ben survived; however,
his body had been mutated by the accident. He was no longer human.
In fact, he was far from it - he was now mostly composed of fire, and magma.
Ben was horrified at first, but then he realized that his new form gave
him great powers. Sheridan asked him to undergo a combat test in
the form of the Killer Instinct tournament, and he agreed. Sheridan
would arrange it so that Ben, now renamed Cinder, would fight an being
who was the exact opposite that he was in a test of extremes. The
ice alien Glacius. Cinder gave
a decent performance during the first round of the tournament, but the
competition was especially hard in this, the 7th Killer Instinct tournament,
and Cinder hadn't quite gotten the hang of his powers by the time he reached
Glacius. As a result, he was badly beaten. He nearly died,
but barely managed to save himself. While struggling for life, the
Killer Instinct tournament ended, and Ultratech went to, and came back
from, 2000 years in the past. Ignorant of this, an enraged Cinder
makes his way back towards Ultratech with the hopes of getting some revenge
against President Sheridan.

Comment:
A man made of fire...
Original? I think not. In any case, Cinder actually had some cool moves
for his day. His voice was pretty cool too.
