Snafu the Great
Now this is a tricky thread.
There are two Kings instead of one. I hope the mods let me slide on this one, since I couldn't choose which King to work on.

King's Bio
Nationality: Mexican (both of them)
Age: King Sr. - 32 (47 when he was killed by Ogre/Toshin); King Jr. - 30 (at the time of Tekken 5)
Height: King Sr. - 6'2 3/4"; King Jr. - 6'6 3/4"
Weight: King Sr. - 187 lbs; King Jr. - 199 lbs
Blood Type: A (both of them)
Fighting Style: Lucha Libre wrestling
Occupation: Both Kings were pro wrestlers and orphanage managers. King Sr., however, was also a Catholic priest
King Sr.'s Background
King is a famous luchador from Mexico. There are actually two Kings in the series, both of whom wore a jaguar mask in matches.
The first used to be a ruthless street brawling orphan with no care in the world except fighting. In one of his fights, King was grievously wounded and collapsed in front of a monastery. The Marquez priests saved him from death. After recovering, King realized the error of his ways and resolved to start a new life. He became a Catholic priest and renounced his old fighting ways. He then became a man with a mission; he dreamt of building an orphanage for street children, hoping to save them from becoming the kind of person he used to be.
King has one problem, however. He lacks the necessary funds to achieve his dream. King discovers The King of Iron Fist Tournament and hopes to win the prize money. King enters the tournament and manages to get third place, winning enough prize money for the orphanage. He also met his rival, Armor King.
King won enough money and had his orphanage, which became very successful. After a child dies in his care, King became depressed and, giving up his jaguar mask, returned to the street and became a raging alcoholic. He would have perished had he not been convinced by his old rival, Armor King, to again wear the jaguar mask and join The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2.
King trained intensely and recovered from his alcoholism. He battled Armor King at the tournament and lost. After the tournament, King participated in both pro-wrestling and martial arts tournaments to win money for his orphanage. He also taught his fighting skills to the children under his care as a means of self-defense.
Sometime later on, Ogre, the God Of Fighting, was awakened from an ancient ruin in Mexico by Heihachi Mishima's Tekken Force. Ogre attacked several martial artists around the world, including King, who was supposedly killed afterwards
King Jr's Background
A street urchin was brought up in a Mexican orphanage owned by the original fighter to bear the name 'King.' By the age of 24, this wrestler worked hard with King until one day, news broke of King's tragic death at the hands of Ogre.
Seeing that the orphanage would crumble into ruin (the money gained from King's wrestling matches was the only funding received), this man donned the mask of King and imitated his style. Unfortunately, he had only seen King's wrestling moves as a child, and he lost every competition he entered. One day however, another man with a mask visited the new King, introducing himself as an old friend. This man revealed himself to be Armor King, who was interested in finding out if the rumors of a new King were true.
For four years the two of them trained, and the new King learned quickly; maturing into a forceful wrestler with extreme power, known as King the Second. By this time, the now 28 year old wrestler was a worthy heir to the throne, however he longed to punish the one responsible for the original King's death.
With rumors of the "God of Fight" circulating, Armor King revealed that the elusive entity was the one most likely responsible. While the grim truth would forever be hidden under his depression, Armor King watched as the new King, fueled with rage, set his sights on avenging his former master's death and proving himself worthy of wearing the mask.
King discovered that his master, Armor King, had been killed in a bar fight. The perpetrator, Craig Marduk, had been arrested in Arizona and was sent to prison. Upon Marduk's release (thanks to bribes paid by King himself), King sent a letter challenging Marduk to the tournament in Tekken 4.
He defeated Marduk in Tekken 4, sending him to the hospital, where King followed him to deliver a deadly blow. However, he stopped after seeing a portrait of Marduk and his elderly parents. King let him live, realizing how foolish he had become.
King is later enraged to find out that Marduk has been defeating opponents in a black jaguar mask (identical to Armor King's), and he has issued a televised challenge to King for The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. Seeing Marduk disgrace his master, King steps into the ring once again to settle the score once and for all.
King's friendship with Craig Marduk developed during The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5.
At the end of the previous tournament, King caught wind of an attack upon Craig--he blew a gasket when he heard the assailant looked exactly like Armor King! King was determined to learn the true identity of Craig's attacker.
During that time, King heard The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 would soon be held. He decided to enter the tournament with Craig.
There are two Kings instead of one. I hope the mods let me slide on this one, since I couldn't choose which King to work on.
