107	->Daughter of a wealthy Japanese family, Rena was raised in São Paulo, Brazil. As a child, she learned capoeira and grew to master it. A child of wealth, she had the luxury of traveling with her father across the world as a young girl. Always wishing for independence, Rena has been forced to follow her father's will her entire life. Having to move back to Japan with her father, she began to grow restless. Hearing about a secret tournament where the winner can have anything they want, Rena came up with a plan: win the tournament and gain independence from her father. "Borrowing" some cash from her dad, Rena sneaked off to Drasuka Bay to fight in the tournament, and with luck, gain the freedom she so desperately seeks.

138	* BaldOfEvil: As bald as it gets!
139	* EvilIsBigger: 375 lbs of ''pure evil.''
140	* FatBastard: He's malicious, cruel and enjoys making others suffers by his hand. Reiji can attest to this, as Khan killed his father in a duel they had years ago, as well as Roxy--his former pupil--as he took advantage of her naivety and tortured her until she managed to break free and escape.
141	* {{Gonk}}: He's as ugly on the inside as he is on the outside.
142	* HeavyVoice: Humorously averted. His voice actually gets ''higher'' the bigger he gets!
143	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlnZuY3Wlzk Ode to Speed]].
144	* TheSociopath: Lacks any emotion in his suffering against others, and even ''revels'' in it.
145	* StoutStrength: As expected of a right-hand man of Daeva.
146	* VillanousGlutton: He's as big as they come, and is very ruthless in his methods of serving the Maladinia.
147	* VocalDissonance: Judging from his frame, you'd expect him to have a deep, sinister voice, but actually it is amusingly high-pitched and silly.

161	]
162
163	->A professional wrestler who has fought in virtually all parts of the world. However, given the fact that suspended from every major wrestling federation because of his viciousness, he has earned a reputation that no wrestling promoter would willing touch. But now he's found a new home of wrestling in Drasuka where he can release his boundless anger and willingness to do anything to get the win.
164

172	* UnnecessaryRoughness: His aggressive fighting style, which barred him from nearly every wrestling association on Earth. The only place where he's allowed to run amok and raise is the Fist of Fire tournament.

187
188	->Genetically enhanced, a cyborg, or something far darker? Shadow's origins are clouded in mystery. Displaying incredible ninjutsu skills and incredible strength, whatever Shadow is, it's clearly not fully human. With a mask concealing his features, Shadow is a faceless, heartless, merciless force in combat. He is a killer, having slain more fighters than anyone in Drasuka. Whatever the truth is behind Shadow, it's been made abundantly clear he's not one to trifle with.

207
208	->Roxy's father, a political militant, urged her at an early age to study a variety of martial arts with the best masters all over the world. Khan, her master in Hong Kong, betrayed her trust and tortured her. She escaped, becoming an assassin and mercenary. Currently employed by a Japanese businessman who is actually a crime lord from Maladinia, she still hungers for revenge against Khan. Roxy recently volunteered to search for her boss' daughter in Drasuka, discovering Khan was also there. Entering the tournament, she seeks vengeance against her former master.
209
210	* DarkActionGirl: She's an assassin and mercenary as well as an accomplished martial artist.
211	* FemmeFatale: She has a very seductive tone to her, and combined with her ability to lethally end human lives, she is easily this, a beautiful but ''deadly'' force to be reckoned with.
212	* GoodGirlGoneBad: Possibly how she came to be an assassin and mercenary, thanks to the efforts of Kahn.
213	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMuW3lgiHQA Dakir]].

233
234	->Adopted by a Jeet Kune Do master, Reiji fights in the style of the famous Bruce Lee. Growing up learning martial arts from his adoptive father, he never understood why this man had left the city for the countryside. Following his twenty-sixth birthday, Reiji returned home to discover his father being assaulted by a mysterious group of men. His father was brutally murdered before him, and Reiji was hung up and cut like a sacrificial animal. Surviving, though barely, his purpose became vengeance against his attackers. With the police offering no help, Reiji set off on his own. After a year of traveling, Reiji found the picture of the man who had tortured him and murdered his father in a newspaper article describing an underground fighting tournament in Drasuka.

256
257	->Born into an upper class Norwegian family, Vegard enjoyed a privileged childhood. His father practiced ancient rituals in the belief that it would help him become even more successful. During his studies, a fortune-teller predicted his son would one day face a great evil that would arise from within. Fearful of his safety, Vegard's parents put him through rigorous academic and physical training. He excelled in taekwondo, though no other students dared face him for fear of injury due to his brutality. Unfortunately, the pressure of his parents' expectancy and the dark destiny foretold caused him to withdraw from the world around him, leaving nothing but his dark thoughts. Vegard became fascinated with a mask kept in his father's art collection—an iron mask depicting the face of a violent, confused soul. Stealing the mask, he wandered the world, wearing it to the point of only being at "peace" with it on. Eventually he found himself in Drasuka, eagerly accepting an invite to an underground tournament.
258
259	* AxCrazy: After his disappearance following Maladinia's destruction in his ending, some people who knew him speculate him to have been insane.
260	* CloudCuckoolander: In his ending, he destroys the Maladinian headquarters for ''no reason''.
261	* DrivenToSuicide: Given his painful past and struggle to keep his life intact after repressing so many dark thoughts for so long, after the destruction of Maladinia on his part, people who knew him theorized that this could have been his only resort.
