The anatomy of doom

Many of you knows my namesake early on. Many do not.

The name Goenitz comes from the heavenly king in the KOF (King of Fighters) series, known for his terrifying ability to control the wind. He has Orochi blood running in his veins and is the 1st heavenly king of the Orochi. He is rumored to be a priest, but to verify that information is impossible due to lack of data regarding him.

I chose his name because Goenitz and the whole Hakkeshu (the 8 people of Orochi) shares the same outlook towards humans. Doom. Despair. Orochi, through the 8 people, wanted to be reanimated to fullfill his punishment upon humans.

Many say, and KOF97 does confirm that the Orochi is somehow linked to God. He's said to be the messenger, through Gaia, mother nature. And we all know how mother nature and God has been linked perfectly.

Did Goenitz really die in KOF96? Many say he did, however, circumstances may say he may still be around. He just dissappeared in the smokescreen of gusts of wind. He could've survived the onslaught of Yagami and Kusanagi. It can be possible.

In places other than the Ragnaboards, I come by as Seto Kaiba, normally.

Now some of you may be asking. Why did I assume the identity of Leopold Goenitz?

1. I share the identity of being cold yet respectful. However, I may be brutally frank and verbally cruel at times, even worse than what Goenitz himself would say.
2. I too, feel at home in roleplaying a villain. I can speak, act and think like Goenitz.
3. I am a big fan of the KOF series. Go figure.
4. Goenitz, with his quest to purge humanity of sin (if not paving the way for awakening Orochi) would fit very well in the theme of Ragnaboards. Someone who will be taken seriously, and at times, feared and despised for having an iron hand. If you use an alternate avatar for this, the less-than-respectful lashings and complaints will emotionally hurt you. Believe me, emotional pain is hard to manage. But with a persona known to be evil, being nasty, offensive and obnoxious is within your character, so such complaints would have no effect on you.
5. Like Goenitz, I like to punish my enemies in the worst way possible.
6. Wind. Goenitz had a little flare of bragging (going along pretty well with his power) which also proved to be his downfall in KOF. But in here, he brags, and he has all the bragging rights because he can do everything*.

*when the circumstances are right, red tape, yadda yadda

For now, I bid you farewell. We shall see each other again in the not-so-distant future.

Until then, a good wind blows.
