The Writer
This is the story of the writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Or at least, what can be known...for the man himself believed he was born in the wrong century. That he walked across the dreamlands (a so-called 'lucid dreamer', believed to relive past lives). That there was more to the universe than met the eye (and though he did not know what lurked out in the depths, he believed that man only brushed the veil of true reality). In his dreams he saw demons, in his days he saw madness.
And at a young age he died of an illness that ate him from the inside out.
This is H.P Lovecraft.

Unfortunately, some of HPL's less friendly and more mischievous creations decided to see how HE liked being written. They created a variety of alternate selves for poor HPL to deal with. These occasionally step into his place in the written world. These are as follows:
MK!HPL: The Mortal Kombat counterpart of the writer, designed for wacky video-game style combat. His primary weapon is a floating typewriter (alas, the real writer hated these contraptions). The letters and words attack in various ways, from shooting at the opponent to falling on them, horrifying them, or putting them to sleep (due to boredom). For short-range, MK!HPL hits people with the typewriter. His supermove involves (of course) summoning Cthulhu with the Necronomicon, but he can also be 'possessed' for more powerful attacks. This HPL is very cartoony in appearance.
