>Since Kengan Omega’s “Worm” organization thrives on secrecy, brutality, and strange ideology, a mid-high-tier Worm agent should feel dangerous and distinctive, but still believably beatable by the story’s main fighters. Let’s build him in a way that’s both visually striking and thematically consistent.
Character Concept: “Lan Fen - The Hollow Cicada”
Fighting Style: “Empty Husk Fist”, a hybrid of traditional Bajiquan and an obscure internal art that emphasizes body voiding and nerve misdirection. He appears to “slip” through attacks by relaxing his frame at impossible moments, creating the illusion that blows pass through him. His focus is on countering, letting the enemy’s aggression create their downfall.
His flaw is that his entire fighting philosophy depends on misdirection and bodily manipulation, once his opponent refuses to chase him, he loses momentum.
Believes true mastery comes from discarding the self, quite literally. He speaks about “shedding the ego” and “leaving behind the flesh.” He mutilated parts of his body in Worm initiation rites.
Here’s a structure you could use:
He appears after a few losses within the Worm, claiming, “They were still bound by flesh.”
Fight Theme: His unusual, contortionist counters initially dominate the hero — the hero’s conventional attacks fail because they rely on predictable reactions.
The protagonist realizes that Lan Fen’s technique sacrifices stability for flexibility — if you don’t chase his rhythm, his illusion breaks.
Climax: The hero deliberately takes one of Lan Fen’s attacks head-on then delivers a decisive blow when Lan Fen overextends.
Aftermath: Dying, Lan Fen smiles faintly - “You have not shed your self, and yet you grow stronger… curious…”
That gives emotional weight to his defeat, ties him thematically to the Worm’s ideology, and underscores the hero’s more human strength, will, ego, and identity — as opposed to the Worm’s self-erasure.
I actually kinda dig it.
