Vega

[Richard Blonoff]

Vega​

The Spanish Ninja, Vega enjoys beauty, climbing walls and being vain. He dislikes ugly people, and so help you if you are ugly he will take great pleasure if your demise.

After seeing his beloved mother murdered at the hands of an ugly man, ugliness came to represent evil and cowardice, while beauty represented heroism and strength. The family trauma he experienced molded his fragile mind to percieve physical unattractivness as not only replusive, but also as a threat.

Arrogant and vain, his arrogance is highly justified as he is a very skilled fighter. He can be incredibly sadistic, sometimes nearly to the point of being a psychopathic, bloodthirsty monster, taking great pleasure in seeing the ugly murdered through his own doing.

The pleasure he takes in battling his foes, combined with his excellent speed and agility, make him a formidable opponent. Add his deadly claw to the mix and Vega is a tough match for anyone who crosses his path. If you weren't ugly before crossing his path, you will be after.

Abilities

• Bullfighting-Like many noble Spaniards, Vega is a fan of bullfighting. He took it up as a hobby and is highly skilled in the spectacle, to the point that he incorporates it into his fighting style.
• Ninjutsu-While he draws the bullfighting from his native Spain, Vega also learned the art of Ninjutsu in Japan. He felt it was a natural compliment to already exceptional speed and agility. Combining elements of his martial arts training with his bullfighting skill, Vega has perfected a unique fighting style that earned him the nickname "The Spanish Ninja."
• Speed-Vega is regarded as one of the fastest characters in the Street Fighter universe. He uses this speed to unleash lightning quick attacks and devastating combo moves.
• Reach-While his reach is largely average for a man his height(6'1), Vega's signature claw adds extra reach to his attacks, allowing him to stay out of range of his opponents attacks while still inflicting damage.

Assets

• Claw-Vega's signature weapon. As stated it adds to his reach when attacking. It is also estimated that the claw enables Vega to perform attacks that are 25% more powerful than normal.
• Mask-While mostly a cosmetic feature, Vega's mask allows him to deflect minor attacks aimed directly at his face. In a pinch he can also use his mask as a crude projectile weapon.
