SKRATCHJAMS _ Street Fighter Destiny - BLANKA

BACKSTORY: 

A FEW YEARS AGO, BLANKA BEGAN GROWING NOTICEABLY WEAKER. THE STREAM OF ELECTRICITY COURSING THROUGH HIS VEINS, THE VERY SOURCE OF HIS SUPREME POWER, WAS KILLING HIM. 

AFTER HIS MOTHER’S PASSING, BLANKA REMAINED IN THE CITY, WHERE HE WAS FORCED TO BEGIN INITIATING HIMSELF INTO SOCIETY. NO LONGER CONSUMING CHLOROPHYLL FROM PLANTS, HIS SKIN TONE BECAME VERY MUCH ‘NORMAL’, AND HE WAS ABLE TO GO MOSTLY UNNOTICED. BUT SINCE THE ELECTRIC DRAINAGE BEGAN HIS TONE HAS BECOME COMPLETELY DESATURATED. HE LOST MUCH OF HIS MUSCLE MASS, AND IT CAUSED HIM TO SHED MOST OF HIS HAIR. 

AS HE LAY ON HIS DEATHBED, NO KNOWN FAMILY TO SPEAK OF, HIS OLD FRIEND DAN GOT WIND OF HIS SITUATION. DAN, NOW CLOSE TO 60 YEARS OLD, FUELED BY YEARS OF BEING DUBBED ‘THE WEAKLING’ HAS BECOME ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMEN. HE USES HIS VAST RESOURCE NETWORK TO DEVELOP AN ELECTROLYTIC ARM CAPACITOR FOR BLANKA, GIVING THE LITTLE ELECTRICITY HE STILL YIELDS A SUSTAINABLE SOURCE TO FEED FROM, INSTEAD OF HIS VITAL ORGANS. (DAN’S ONLY CREATIVE INPUT FOR THE DEVICE WAS THE COLOUR SCHEME) 

BLANKA NOW, WITH A NEW LEASE ON LIFE, (LOOKING YEARS YOUNGER) AND ETERNALLY GRATEFUL, DECIDES TO LEARN, ADAPT, AND CONTRIBUTE TO DAN’S SAIKIYO-RYU FIGHTING STYLE. FUSING IT WITH ELEMENTS OF HIS BELOVED CAPOEIRA. HE ENTERS THE TOURNAMENT TO PROMOTE THE NEWLY FORMED STYLE, AND TO THANK HIS OLD FRIEND.
