Vice is one of the two Orochi assasins that work for Goenitz, one of the
four Heavenly Kings of Orochi. Considered to be the most ruthless and sadistic
of the duo, Vice is like a wild panther: always stalking their prey, and killing
them with so much brutality. That could define Vice's work as an assasin for
Goenitz, as her victims can no longer tell after falling prey to her slashing
kicks and her incredible strength that allows her to carry some opponents which
double her in weight and toss them like pieces of paper.
Always expecting the awakening of the Orochi, Vice works along Goenitz and
aids him in killing the heir to the Clan of the Yata, who holds the seal. After
liberating the power of Orochi, Goenitz still feels it is weak, and it will not
help now. So, Vice awaits new orders, until an ambitious man known as Rugal
Bernstein came looking for the Orochi power. Vice was about to enter into
action, but Goenitz decides to take care of it himself. He faces Rugal, and
tells him no mortal can ever possess the Orochi power. Rugal fights Goenitz to
accomplish his plan, but Goenitz just swifts his hand, and it gouges Rugal's
right eye. Surprised that he had survived the attack, Goenitz decides to lend
Rugal a bit of the Orochi power. Rugal's body is racked in pain as the Orochi
power is introduced in him. Then, Goenitz comissions both Vice and Mature to
look over him. If he misuses the power and tries to use it against the Orochi,
they will kill him. Vice and Mature go join Rugal, and keep a watching eye over
him.
Vice always serves Rugal with her supposed loyalty, and Rugal, sensing her
to be rather trustworthy, assigns Vice to brainwash Saisyu Kusanagi, whom Rugal
had defeated earlier. Rugal had already been defeaten by Kyo Kusanagi the year
before, and now he plans revenge, and Saisyu would be of use to blackmail Kyo.
Vice proceeds to brainwash Saisyu with her power, but Saisyu turns to be more
persistent than she thought. She uses all her mind power to clean Saisyu's
brain, but is left almost without strength. Vice despises Saisyu for having
exhausted her power, and is pretty glad when both Saisyu and Rugal fail in
eliminating Kyo once again. Vice then prepares herself to dispose of Rugal,
since he has used the Orochi power, but it is no need, since Rugal's power
destroyed himself at the end. With their mission accomplished, Vice and Mature
return to Goenitz.
But this time, Goenitz assigns the assasins to keep an eye on Iori Yagami.
He is of Orochi blood, and he would become useful in the near future. So, he
wants Mature and Vice to make a team with him for the next tournament, and lead
him towards the Orochi bloodline. Vice and Mature go have a little tussle with
Iori before offering their help. So, Iori has two new teammates to join the next
tournament.
But Iori began to display an inmense power during the tournament, and Vice
was amused at it. This man certainly had Orochi blood in his veins, but Vice
never thought it was so powerful! Iori could even result a more powerful man
than Goenitz, so Vice decided to rely on Iori to awaken Orochi instead of
Goenitz. By the end of the tournament, Vice and Mature advice Iori to go to the
stadium, since Goenitz would plan to attack there and kill Kyo for sure. Iori,
not letting anybody kill Kyo but himself, goes to fight Goenitz. Goenitz thought
Iori was going to help him, but it went all wrong, and ends up being defeated
after Kyo and Iori join forces. Goenitz thought Mature and Vice were going to
make him join the Orochi cause, but instead of that, they betrayed him! Goenitz
curses both assasins, and vows that the treason will not go without pay. Goenitz
then vanishes, and Mature and Vice go to help Iori out. But Ioir begins to feel
sick, and enters the Riot of Blood, his Orochi blood beginning to awaken. Vice
realizes too late that Iori is not of complete Orochi blood, but has gained his
Orochi power via an unholy pact by his ancestors 660 years ago. Vice then
suffers a miserable death at Iori's slashing hands, but is unknown if she is
actually dead or not...
Vice is a blood-thirsty monster. She always likes to kill her opponents
with so much violence, and finds to be quite relaxing to see blood all around.
Mature and her are not precisely friends, they just help each other to free the
power of Orochi. Vice also seems to be in an eternal state of anger and
frustration, and always seems to be in the mood. She also despises Saisyu for
having making her pass so much trouble in brainwashing him.
*Fun fact = Is Vice suffering the Riot of Blood? Perhaps, but it doesn't seem to
have full effect on her yet. She dangles her arms, just like Riot of Blood Iori
does. She coughs up blood too, and that is one of the syntoms of Riot of Blood.
It seems that all that violence that Vice seems so alike to, has made her Orochi
blood awaken more than usual. She also seems to be want to be KILLED, as in one
of her victory poses in KOF '98, she kneels and begs to kill her! Whoa...I wish
Iori wanted that too...the loony bastard. ^-^
