Your wishlist of Characters from MK4-MKA, prototypes, glitched and new for MK10

As I said in the previous post, those characters besides Scorpion aren't Ninja in the first place. The masks and garbs were there purely for aesthetic reasons and nothing really to do with the character. Sub Zero, Smoke and Rain has no reason to hide their identity unless they are going on assassination missions, which they rarely did go in the story. The masks could be a part of the clan's uniform which could be a reason for the, to have masks, but then again we are talking just about aesthetics here and that to based on a wrongly interpreted concept.



Kano and Baraka classified as Ninja? By whom? Fox17?

Lol jk :laugh:

The real definition of a ninja are those skilled, well versed in the art of Nin-Jut-su. They may choose whether to be assassins or not. Thus all assassins, crime lords, lackeys need not be a ninja.

I want Hotaru to be Scorpions next Rival then. Play off the real life hate the two had for eachother. Of course I'm talking about the Ninja and samurai.
 
This is how I would like Tremor to look like, preferably with his roots set in Edenia. No more "ninjas" please.

I actually really like this look, it's awesome and would probably be my favorite suggestion from a different medium. However, it heavily reminds me of the Djinn from Clash of the Titans. I don't know if that's what the artist was going for, but that seems to be what it looks like to me. Blue eyes and all. I wouldn't mind taking this concept and tweaking it though for the character.

Also I don't want Tremors origins to be Edenia. I think enough people are from there already. We really need to flesh out the realms of Seido and Chaosrealm. So few characters are from these realms it feels like. I would actually have his origins be from Chaosrealm though if I had the choice. I don't know exactly what his background would be, but that's where I would have him come from. Or we could leave him being a member of the red dragon? Isn't that right?
 
Yea I knew he was with kano. I just get the red dragon and black dragon names mixed up. Red dragon branched from the black dragon I believe but not completely sure on that either. I'm not a huge fan of the black and red dragon clans though. That's why i hope if mavado gets brought back that him being the leader of the red dragon won't come to exist. Who knows maybe they can make these clans better in the future.
 
We got demons. How about angels? Like an archangel who should be the true champion of the Elder gods.

Plus a clown from the realm of chaos. Havik can manipulate his body & bones, why not a jester who has elasticity and some powers like the Joker. In fact, he can be named... Panik!

I like the first part but the clown part I don't like at all.
 
No one likes a clown/jester in Mortal kombat?

I like that idea. No one's had a clown in mortal kombat since MKvsDC & Shang Tsung's fatality in MK9.

I think a jester will be useful in fact he can be allies with Havik who helps him spread chaos anywhere in the realms. Even give out riddles to several warriors.

I think an interesting character would be someone who had a family or was just a happy person in the old timeline, but as a result of the new timeline was somehow in the wrong place at the wrong time and maybe his family was murdered as a result. Thus he takes up training and ends up becoming one of the world's best fighters.

I admit it's a bit batman-esque but I think it would be interesting. I think it would be cool if he could also somehow start seeing visions of his old past. Like he finds out his life has been robbed of him as a result of a time change.

This sounds like something that would be suitable for Kai, since we don't don't about his family's history and plus in the original timeline he could look into the future and past.

Ummm. Except for a few details that's Scorpions story. The timeline stuff should stay an ability only Raiden and other gods should have.
 
The archangel is sent by the Elder gods to watch out for Shujinko knowing he is decieved by Onaga to get the Kamidogu. The archangel tries to warn Shujinko that he's being endangered and that he's being lured into a trap, but Shujinko wouldn't listen.

I'd name the angel Seraph.

The only similarities are the murder of his family. That could just be one aspect though. Maybe he was successful, and had a decent amount of money or a decent living as well. Plus he has nothing to even do with murdering or clans. Just an average person. Also there are others who can see the future like Jinko mentioned Kai. Why not someone who could see visions of an alternate future. It could be believable that if he lived an alternate future that maybe some of this future would bleed into his dreams or pop into his mind. Think Deja Vu.

Raiden could choose him as one of his greatest fighters and then in a vision he sees that Raiden altered the timeline and effectively took everything from him. Making Raiden an enemy.

Also in reference to Seido. I was wondering if anything was ever mentioned about Seido having a King or something of the sort? It would make sense for it too. Since Seido is revolved around order then a hierarchy would have an ultimate ruler over everything. I think that could be someone interesting to bring into the mold as well.
 
What if we ditch the family and the premonitions all together and have him be a Guardsmen from seido brought in to help keep the peace and order. let's call him Hotaru, He could see a ninja, Let's just call him Scorpion. He stops him and asks him what's he's doing in Earthrealm and Scorpion could say "it's none of your business lapdog. I nolonger answer to the Elder gods" Then as the two fight, in drops Havik, who praises the two for insighting The Chaos and creating Haovc

Yes.. Yes.. I rather like this Idea.
 
Since Sektor will be taking over the Lin Kuei as the new grandmasters, since his MK9 ending may be true or not, wonder if he'll make his own cyborgs?

- Toxins/Poisons
- Magnetism
- Gravity

Sektor is in artillery, Cyrax demolitions, Smoke - espionage. Wonder about these three.

Plus... I like that idea. Of course, he'd be a bit like the Joker and this....

Like Shredder Sub-Zero was one of my favorite looks for him.


Oh god, I hated Shredder Sub-Zero. :barf:
As much as I disliked pony-tail Sub-Zero, as well, I'd take that ANY DAY over Shredder Sub-Zero.
I don't see why people wan't characters from other IPs, yet complain about no originality in characters.
Same goes for Kobra.
I don't want Sub-Zero looking like another character from another IP, and if Kobra does come back, I don't want him looking like Ken either.
I wast these characters to be "original" to MK.

as long as it's not along the line of turning someone cyber ala Sub-Zero. That's a little too far.

Agreed.

Back in the day, the only reason we had different colored "ninjas" was because the general public considered them "cool" and we're fairly uneducated on what they really were. MK characters have evolved more than that now, perhaps the masks could remain for a few characters like Scorpion (since he is actually a Ninja) and maybe Ermac ( a character where the "mystecism" is actually there). I find no reason for Rain, Smoke, Reptile etc to continue wearing their masks, there are much better, logical and creative ways to evolve them rather than sticking to an outdated, faulty concept.

How do you know that the general public still doesn't consider them "cool" and still like them?
You're assuming that wearing masks is an out dated character concept, it may not be.
1990's pallet-swapped MK ninjas IS an out-dated concept, but MK9 (and the other MK games after Trilogy) proved that you can have different colored ninjas wearing masks and STILL have them look completely different.

Rain could still be masked, as he may not want to reveal to others that he's a prince.
Given that he's an Edenian prince, he could be trying to hide his face from the likes of Kitana and Sindel (if they come back in MK10).
I agree with you on Smoke, given that he was revealed to be an enera.
Reptile should stay with his mask on.
It's 2012 and they STILL don't have his reptilian look right.
Ermac is more of a mummy now, as someone else mentioned, and less of a ninja in MK9.

Wow, you like ponytail Sub-Zero better than his cryo-armor? I have to say out of all of the looks Sub-Zero has had, not including cyber, that the ponytail was the most ridiculous. I was just like WTF? I absoultely hated that look. I have to say though that the cryo armor wouldn't even look like shredder if they just removed the trident thing from his head. That is the only thing which makes him look like shredder, but just because Shredder has that thing on his head doesn't mean it's trademarked by him. I thought this was Sub-Zero's best look, either that or his deadly alliance alt. Which is ninja, but I liked it. I want him unmasked, but I think he should have scruff like the Sub-Zero in my profile pic. I don't know though, like I said my profile pick is always what I imagined Kuai Liang should look like unmasked. Except minus the gloves because he doesn't need the gloves with his ice arms.

Also, I would assume that the general public does still like the ninjas. However, like I said an alt with the ninja gear would be fine. Like in DA, my favorite game, Sub-Zero was clint eastwood so I just chose his alt. I was completely fine with that being the alt though because the main should be what defines the character. Sub-Zero being changed by the dragon medallion showed in his appearance.

Rain is another favorite of mine. I love the water and ice elementals and Rain being a prince should allow him to be able to show his power and dominance over everyone. Not hide behind a mask. If any of the ninjas should be unmasked next I think that Rain could benefit the most.

Like I said a few shouldn't be unmasked. Scorpion nor Noob Saibot should be. You can make a case for reptile as well since the can't seem to master a look for him. Ermac has got the mummy thing going on so it's fine. However, Rain I think we can just agree to disagree. He needs to be unmasked. There's just no need for him to still have that mask in my eyes.

Why make him a clown of all things though? MK is already over-the-top enough since we've got demons, cops, crimelords, ninjas, cyborgs and ancient emperors all in one series. And your idea is pretty much Heath Ledger's Joker mixed with Riddler anyway

Nobody said they wanted Shredder in MK though lol. Just because people may have liked the Shredder Zero look doesn't mean they want Shredder in MK.

What about characters like Raiden and Shang Tsung anyway? They were based off characters from a different IP (Big Trouble in Little China).

You're assuming that wearing masks is an out dated character concept, it may not be.
He's not saying that wearing masks by itself is an outdated concept, he's saying that those characters having the ninja-like designs (which includes the masks) is outdated because they have no reason to keep having them as they aren't even actual ninjas.

1990's pallet-swapped MK ninjas IS an out-dated concept, but MK9 (and the other MK games after Trilogy) proved that you can have different colored ninjas wearing masks and STILL have them look completely different.
But here's the problem we have with that, though. Why do they need to wear masks? What's the point of having them ditch everything else but keep the mask?

Why not just remove the mask instead of making up reasons to hold on to the mask.

Rain could still be masked, as he may not want to reveal to others that he's a prince.
Given that he's an Edenian prince, he could be trying to hide his face from the likes of Kitana and Sindel (if they come back in MK10).
That logic is kind of backwards, I don't think he would try to hide his royal heritage from other royal people of Edenia; if anything, those would be the few people he wouldn't wear a mask around as he would want them to know about his rights to Edenia

Rain seems to be a pretty arrogant and vain person anyway, I'm sure he'd love to flaunt and show off him being a prince to everyone, or better yet, show off his good looks (which a mask obviously would conceal).
