	[NOTES]
	
	-About Kei
	Kei was originally intended to play the role of one of the main characters in an RPG of 
	mine,"Rain".At first her appearance was completely different than the one she has (except
	for the short hair),but one day I had some spare time and I decided to do some custom
	palettes for AthenaEX (the one with 99's top,97's bottom and leggings).Then,I don't know
	exactly what happened:I liked one of the palettes and I decided to start over a new
	character.(Don't ask me how - it's still a dark hour of my life -.-)
	Then I started ripping 2k1 Athena's sprites,and here I go!
	-Did you noticed that most of her moves' name are heavy metal/hard rock songs?
    -	"Dream" is from Norther
	"Stained Glass Cross" is by Down
    -	"Angel Claw" is by Arch Enemy
	"1776" and "Burnt Offerings " are by Iced Earth
    -	"Shut Your Mouth!" is by Pain
    -	"Dawn of Victory" is by Rhapsody
	"Goddess of the sadman" is by Amorphis
	"Mind on fire" is by Kreator
	"Scream of anger" is by Europe
	and "Howling Fury"(Furies in the original title) is by Anthrax.
	well,I didn't have time to made some move names on my own.Forgive me -.-
	-A friend of mine told me that she looks like (and shares the same name though) a 
	character of the Gantz manga comic.Well,actually she DOES,but it wasn't my intention. 
	XD
    -Without my expectation,some people made a lot of palettes for Kei,that brings the number
    of avalaible palettes over 12.To enable the other palettes,just replace in Kei's def file
    the name of the .act file you want to change with another one.
    



	[CHARACTER'S BACKGROUND INFORMATIONS]
	(totally useless and in crappy english,but if you dare to take a look...)
	Birthplace:     Japan
	Birth date:     February 14,1984(17 yrs old)
	Height:         1.71 m
	Weight:         62 kg  
	Blood type:     0
	Hobbies:        Videogames,Japanese Anime Videos 
	Favourite food: Italian-style Pizza
	Favourite sport:Basketball 
	Most valuable:  her friends,dressing with tight outfits (GH ^,^)
	Hates the most: people who don't respect deals
	Fighting style: K-Rai Style(compilation of various fighting styles)

	Kei is the youngest daughter of a martial arts master,but is  the most skilled
	fighter in her family,too.She got the black belt when she was only 9 and started building
	her own fighting style,later called "K-Rai" from the first letter of her name and the
	ability of the user to discharge electricity out of her body.
	She had to leave Japan when she was 15,being suspected of having killed her best friend's
	father.With her surprise,she was helped in leaving Japan by her friend.To her question
	"why are you helping me?",he replied "I feel that they are wrong about my father's
	death....a person like you could never do a thing like this.And it's for this that
	I'm helping you."
	After estabilishing in USA,Kei,instead of applying to a job,started to use her
	fighting skills to win all the tournaments she found.She passed a year by living this
	way,but then she got sick of fighting,left the fighting scene,and used the money she
	earned this way to apply to an High School near her living place.The main reason
	she choosed this way is because she was starting to feel lonely,and wanted to have some
	contact with people.And she did!She had a lot of friends....
	....'till that day came....
	She was on her 2nd year applying the school,and a friend of her talked about a fighting
	tournament that has been ended with the victory by a guy named Rick,and asked her the 
	reason why she didn't choose to enter the tournament,justyfing her words by saying that
	if she entered,she could probably succeed in winning the tournament.She replied "I'm not
	in that business anymore",and left her behind.
	After a week,she was having a walk trough the downtown,when she noticed a young man busy
	fighting some thugs,and getting his @$$ kicked.She decided to help him,and,after the
	fight ended,she recognized him:he was Rick,the winner of the last tournament!
	"He can't be him" she thought "I thought he was one of the strongest fighters!"
	but then she realized the reason why he couldn't fight at his full potential:he was
	badly wounded,probably from previous fights,and was really tired.Then she decided to
	bring him with her and heal his wounds.
	When Rick healed,he told her about his story:after the tournament he was challenged by
	a man named Eiji Shirow,and got his @$$ kicked (again).He passed out,and when he woke
	up he was in some kind of prison,and the only clue on what place was that was the logo
	on the wall in front of his cell.He passed under a lot of chemical treatments
	during his "stay" there,but this caused in him a curios side-effect,that changed a lot
	his powers and allowed him to plain his escape from the base.But,after using his
	new power,he was really tired,and barely managed to reach the nearest city,the place
	where Kei found him.Then he said that he recognized the famous Kei Nanasawa,and asked
	her to join his quest to stop the Organization.Kei asked him if she could have some time for
	thinking about her answer,and he agreed.Suddendly,that night,she had her worst
	night-woke-up:INTERPOL's agents irrupted into her flat and tried to arrest her.She was
	saved by Rick,and only then she realized that her new life too was gone,and the only thing
	that the fate left her was Rick and his quest in defeating his enemies.But,after all,she
	wasn't a murderer,and decided to help him only if her wish to do not kill anyone was
	granted.He answered that "the only person that will die in my quest is Eiji Shirow...."
	then,they definetly left the city,followed by both organization and INTERPOL,to start their
	private investigation,and to eliminate the threat.
	But,after 2 years,a question still hauntes her mind:who killed her best friend's father?
	And,first of all,why she was chosen to be the murderer in that plot?
	She followes Rick,feeling that the time to find those answers has come.
	
	Kei is an weird girl from the slums,except for her strong will and fighting
	skills.She may look extremely happy,but she does that only to hide her past and
	to try to live an ordinary life.She often falls in depression,and the only thing 
	that can cheer her up are her friends.She is scared of killing people,
	but this allowed her to take a better control of her strength,so she will never manage
	to kill anyone,even her worst enemies.She treats any of her opponents like a friend,and
	even tries to cheer them up!The first who noticed her weirdeness was
	Rick himself.It is possible that a pure-hearted girl is so dedicated in fighting?

	[MOVELIST]
	
	Kei uses a KOF-type gameplay,altough she has some FX that noone of the KOF games
	woul allow.
	
	I still have to handle this kind of gameplay perfectly,anyway.-_-
	Suggestions are welcome.

    -USUAL KOF-TYPE GAMEPLAY MOVES-

	-POWER BUILD-
	A+B
	Kei gains power.You can gain up to 3 power stocks with this move.	

    -DODGE-
    A+X or Z
    Kei dodges the opponent's attack.You can cancel a standing block into this if you
    have at least 1000 power.

    -KNOCKDOWN ATTACK-
    B+Y or C
    Kei attempts to knockdown the opponent.You can cancel a standing block into this if you
    have at least 1000 power.

    -THROWS-
    F+Y or B near opponent. Now, each buttoh has a different throw - Y sends the opponent flying forward, while B grabs the 	opponent and throws him on the other side.

    -COMMAND ATTACKS-

    -Dream-
    F+A
    it's just like Athena's F+A attack.I really had few ideas on how to change this. .-.

    -SPECIAL MOVES-
	
	-Angel Claw-
	QCF + X/Y
	Kei uses her lightning power to strike a bolt at short range

	-Wing Fall-
	QCF + A/B
	Kei thrust forwards trying to hit her opponent with a flying kick

    -Stained Glass Cross-
	DP + A/B
	Cannon Spike.And Kei still thinks that she invented this move! -.-
    
    -1776-
    QCB +X/Y
    An electric charged punch.Think of it like a short-range Hishouken.
    X version is quicker to pull off than Y version and can be used in combos,
    while Y version travels forwards and deals more damage.

    -Goddess of the sadman-
    QCB +X/Y in air
    Kei shoots an electricity charged projectile at a 45 degree towards ground.
    The typical air projectile. (ok,i run out of ideas maybe? -_-')
   
     -Mind on fire-
    DP +X/Y 
    A quick combo of 2 punches,the latest one juggles the opponent.
    
    -Scream of anger-
    Charge B,F+A/B
    Another Cammy-ripoff move.Looks like Kei's an huge Cammy fan.
    Weak version deals 2 hits,while strong does 3.
    
	-DESPERATION MOVES- (NEED LV1 POWER)

	-Howling Fury-
	QCB,HCF + X/Y
	A 21 hit combo,being its lasts attacks a very quick series of punches

    -Dawn of victory-
    -QCB,QCB + A/B
    Kei kicks the enemy,executes a Stained glass cross,slams her opponent on the
    ground and proceeds to electrocute him by throwing herself as a lightining
    bolt on her foe.

    -Burnt Offerings-
    -QCB,QCB + X/Y
    A charge-up fireball move.If fully charged,it's  unblockable.
    
	-SUPER DESPERATION MOVES- (NEED LV2 POWER)

	-Howling Fury-
	QCB,HCF + X+Y
	Kei executes her Howling Fury,but after she executes the last blow,she
	jumps forward and strike once more the opponent with a dunking attack

    -HIDDEN SUPER DESPERATION MOVES- (NEED LV2 POWER AND LIFE < 25%) 

	-SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!-
	B,HCB + A+B
	You have to see it in action to judge it.
	Can be blocked only by standing opponents.Airborne and crouching's guard
	will be crushed,and the move will connect.
	Well,use at you own risk.
