Kitana Cosplay





A character from the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games,created originally by the Midway Games company. Kitana was one of the most popular characters in Mortal Kombat II, because of her seemingly invincible combos. During the early production runs of Mortal Kombat II, Kitana became notorious as an unbeatable character, as her "fan lift" move could be done in such a way as to completely immobilize the opponent in the corner of the screen, allowing the player using Kitana to defeat the opponent with a series of uncontested punches. Changes were made in later versions of the game to eliminate this. Despite her appearance, Princess Kitana is over 10,000 years old.

Burst Angel Wallpaper



A aspiring pastry chef takes up employment with 4 women, Jo, Meg, Sei and Amy, collectively known as the Burst Angels. The women work as a ruthless mercenary team, using colossal armored robots armed with twin pistols and a bevy of other dangerous armaments to bring the increasingly advanced syndicate to their filthy knees. In addition to piloting their own specialized mecha, a deceptively simple storyline and expensive animation make it a top shelf, big-budget, A-list title.
