Soul Calibur

Kilik, raised at the Ling-Sheng Su Temple deep within China, was chosen to inherit a rod called "Kali-Yuga" after many years of training. This weapon was one of the three sacred treasures of the temple.

However, the Evil Seed had rained down upon the temple and caused its people to lose their sanity and a blood bath ensued.

Kilik was able to keep his sanity under the protection of the "Dvapara-Yuga," but was forced to defend himself against those who were under the spell of the Evil Seed. In doing so, he killed his sworn sister and others dear to him.

When Kilik regained consciousness, the old man who saved him told him the truth. Kilik and the Kali-Yuga were both still under the demonic influence of the Evil Seed. The only thing that separated Kilik from madness was the Dvapara-Yuga slung around his shoulder. And the source of all this evil was the demonic blade Soul Edge!

Kilik trained under the old master, and after learning how to control the evil within himself and the Kali-Yuga, embarked on a quest to purify himself and his weapon.

Kilik was to be the successor of one of the three sacred treasures of the Ling-Sheng Su Temple, called the Kali-Yuga.

Tragically, the night before the succession ceremony, a mysterious light fell upon the temple, driving all those who saw it into an insane, murdering frenzy. Kilik was no exception, and he killed many temple members because of his strength.

At the end of the atrocity, the Dvapara-Yuga, second of the three sacred treasures of the Ling-Sheng Su Temple, hung across the chest of Kilik. The Dvapara-Yuga belonged to Xianglian, a woman who had been like an older sister to Kilik.

When Kilik awoke, he found himself in an old man's hermitage. The old man revealed to Kilik that the root of this evil was a demonic sword called Soul Edge. Kilik studied the secret art of the Ling-Sheng Su style rod and left on a journey to destroy the evil blade.

With the help of Xianghua, a woman he met during his travels, Kilik succeeded in defeating the wielder of Soul Edge, Nightmare. Kilik returned to his master in order to perfect the technique of neutralizing and purifying the evil energy. But one day, he sensed a return of the malevolent aura of Soul Edge.

Soul Edge still existed! Kilik left on another journey to destroy Soul Edge once and for all, for he wished to atone for his sins.

On his journey to purify the cursed sword, Kilik ran into Xianghua, and the two of them once again traveled together.

One day, the two of them arrived at a city that was enveloped in an evil energy that was not Soul Edge. Kilik did not know its source, but he and Xianghua worked together using the power of fragment of Dvapara-Yuga to purify the crazed citizens.

A man bearing a large scythe appeared before them, however, and warned them to leave. Kilik did not back down, and lost in battle to the man.

"I see that you possess arts for purifying evil, but do not underestimate the cursed sword..." That was the last thing Kilik remembered hearing before he lost consciousness.

Kilik awoke to find himself in the hermitage of his teacher, Edge Master. He had spent a month in a comatose state since Xianghua carried him here. In addition, he had lost the fragment of Dvapara-Yuga.

Kilik realized his lack of skill. He had to strengthen not only his purifying arts, but also himself...

Sensing what lay in Kilik's heart, his teacher ordered rigorous training. Kilik faced off against his teacher, who deliberately infused himself with the evil power of the cursed sword. It was Kilik's most difficult challenge. He trained with the aim of striking at only the evil energy which dwelled in his teacher's body.

After three months, Kilik finally succeeded in landing a purifying strike on his teacher. Seeing that the training was complete, Edge Master handed to Kilik a letter from Xianghua and a new fragment of Dvapara- Yuga.

"I will work on my skills, grow stronger, and regain my courage. I'm sure that I we'll meet again. And next time, let's put an end to all of this. I believe in us."

With her words in his heart, Kilik once again set off for the western lands.

His body profaned by the Evil Seed sown by Soul Edge, Kilik devoted himself to war against the cursed sword. He trained hard, mastered the art of purging evil, and took an oath to purify Soul Edge once and for all. Only then could he atone for the lives he had taken while evil had ensnared his soul. If there was one answer Kilik arrived at following his training, it was this: Soul Calibur was a being extremely similar to Soul Edge. The key lay in balancing the two blades' torrential power; finding a way that their opposing mights would cancel each other out.

Kilik had been travelling with Xianghua since reuniting with her during his quest. He knew Xianghua had feelings for him, but he could not return those feelings. Something about xianghua reminded him of Xianglian, the woman he had once loved as an older sister. Each of her smiles only brought back memories of his past, of when he had muredered Xianglian with his own hands.

From this, Kilik took resolve. As the Concillator, he faced a brutal road ahead. He must find and maintain just the right equilibrium to keep the scales from tipping toward one great force or the other forever.

(I cannot involve Xianghua in this fate I have chosen for myself.)

The two drew ever closer to Ostrheinsburg, the final battleground. Yet Kilik was determined to move on alone when the time came.
