Biography
Illia (Japanese: イリア, Hepburn: Iria?) was the third youngest of his two brothers and youngest sister, and left his small and poor village in the North of Russia to seek independence and riches since the fall of the Soviet Union. Near Moscow, Gill and his organization confronted him and promised him a better life. They persuaded Illia to join, but he was tricked and experimented on. As a boy, Illia was kidnapped by a mysterious organization led by Gill and converted into a human test subject for the biological warfare think-tank known as the G-Project. He was given a soft body that allows him to stretch beyond normal and the ability to produce electricity from his body, at the cost of leaving him looking like a mutant. A cybernetic computer was implanted into his brain that enhanced his fighting abilities as well. Illia began taking on special missions for the organization under the name "Necro". At some point after his capture, Necro met Effie, who was also captured by the organization where they became fast friends, and soon lovers. As a young man, his cellular structure and outward appearance had changed drastically, the result of DNA alterations forging Illia into a prototype super soldier. Accompanied by his mutant girlfriend Effie, the now named Necro (ネクロ Nekuro?) enters the third World Warrior tournament to personally get revenge on Gill and to win his and Eiffie's freedom from the G-Project.
When Necro found Gill, Necro would have died at Gill's hands had Effie not saved him. Feeling that they could not let them live knowing the G-Project's secrets, Gill's organization constantly hunts for the two mutants.
Necro entered the fourth World Warrior tournament and saw it as a way to gain back his freedom and get revenge on Gill. But he was tricked again and trapped and tied up, and Gill left him to die inside the self-destructing base. However, Necro's companion Effie managed to save him, and they escaped before they were killed. They were now both free, but they knew they would still be chased by Gill's organization.
Necro and Effie traveled through Russia to escape the Secret Society. At one point, the duo face Twelve, the perfected version of the G-Project, which was responsible for Necro's current mutated form. The winner of the battle is unknown, but Necro probably was victorious, as he and Effie survived and Twelve went back to the Illuminati for recuperation. In his ending, Necro and Effie are on a train heading to the borders of Russia, but the Secret Society closes in on them. Trying to find a way out, Necro and Effie jump off the train into a chasm. Effie falls faster towards the bottom, but Necro managed to save her with an outstretched arm. Upon saving his girlfriend, he says that for the first time, he feels grateful for his powers, and a heart forms around the two.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Necro was a male human with pasty white skin with red marks on his face and shoulders. His eyes have no pupils and are yellow in color while his nose is long and pointed. He wears a set of purple overalls and large boots with shin pads that run up to his knees as well as a metal collar around his neck. His arms are lanky due to his elastic powers.
He was shown to be plucky, optimistic, and ever determined when it comes to his goals; despite his capacity for wise-cracks, however, he is also quite surly and prone to rather dark comments. Despite being on the run from the Secret Society and always pressured when they turn up, Necro still dreams big and has his eyes always on the faintest of hope in the middle of a bleak situation. Even after being transformed into the superpowered mutant he is today, he still enjoys the newfound powers and abilities that come with it, and he hopes to fight with those powers and give the Illuminati a run for their money.
Powers and abilities
Necro's invasive gene therapy had provided him with an internal power generator, and a cybernetic computer that regulates his combat capabilities. Most notably, Necro is able to stretch and twist his body in superhuman ways, delivering long distance attacks with ease, similar to the Yoga master Dhalsim. However, while Dhalsim naturally projects his stretching limbs outward, Necro requires some momentum in thrusting out his limbs, requiring him to spin or otherwise create forward motion in order to project his extremities. Necro can also generate surges of electricity like Blanka.
Necro's fighting style involves grappling his opponents with his unpredictable and flexible rubber limbs, and using the electrical current generated in his body to shock them. His combat style has no real origin or connection to other styles, implying that Necro taught himself how to fight. The cybernetic computer in his brain helps give him superhuman fighting abilities.
