Ridley Scordato/SAOF Arena

Ridley is a playable character in SAOF Arena.

Background
During an alternate timeline, after the events of End War Online: Through the Sights, Ridley was skydiving off a plane and was going to land on a nearby rooftop, but instead was transported to Paradox's world. Upon arrival, he landed with the force that he was falling with, and hit the ground hard. There was nothing and no one around him. He thought that understanding the place was the top priority. Getting out was second.

Playstyle
Since this is after TtS, Ridley has already experienced the pain of losing his comrades and knows his full potential. He uses his abilities to their utmost advantage, and doesn't hesitate to make use of an opening in his opponent's defense. Ridley has a bar below his health called the Tainted Gauge, which measures the amount of Tainted Magic he can use while fighting. Every time he uses an attack of Tainted Magic, the bar gets used. Every time he attacks using his normal weapons, it refills. His Shadow Devour attack, when successful, gives him more health, a refill for his Tainted Gauge that is twice the amount that was used, and a special projectile that would be fired in place of Necro Charge. The Tainted Gauge is full at the start of every match. All attacks that consume the Tainted Gauge are in italics.

Grabs Special Attacks Instant Kill
 * Dark Link: Ridley casts a spell that forms a dark chain link connecting him and his opponent, pulling them closer to him. It can also be used on objects.
 * Grab: Self-explanatory: He grabs his opponent with his free hand. Then he can use any of his other moves besides other grabs and Internal Shelling.
 * Bloody Stab: Ridley stabs his gunblade into his opponent and holds them in midair. Extremely close range required. Any other move can be used after except other grabs and Dark Overcharge.
 * Shade Movement:  Ridley can turn himself into a shadow and almost instantaneously move to any area within a 1 meter radius, letting him dodge attacks.
 * Hell Hounds: Ridley summons a pair of two dark energy "hounds" that hunt down and attack enemies consistently.
 * Shadow Devour: Ridley compiles dark energy onto his arm, and uses it to make an extendable monster's head. He uses it to bite into the flesh and soul of his opponent, then pulls it back, restoring his health, Tainted Gauge, and giving him one special projectile that can be fired with Necro Charge.
 * Blade Arc: Ridley throws an arc of knives in four directions.
 * Internal Shelling: Ridley fires seven times while his gunblade is stabbed into his opponent. Can only be used after Bloody Stab.
 * Dark Overcharge: Ridley overloads his enemy with a tremendous amount of dark energy, dealing heavy damage. Can only be used after Grab.
 * Sucker Punch: Ridley blocks an attack and then counters with a powerful dark energy-powered punch to his opponent's gut. It knocks them far back and stuns them for a while.
 * Rejection: Ridley grabs his opponent with an enlarged dark energy-powered arm and throws his enemy back.
 * Avenger's Absolution: Ridley extends his Shadow Devour. If it successfully hits, he overloads his enemy with dark energy while their flesh gets torn apart by the Devourer's teeth. He smashes his enemy into the ground multiple times, then throws them up into the air and lets them fall to the ground. Right before they make impact, Ridley impales them with a dark energy spear, and makes several spikes impale them from the inside.
