@chxxseyourfighter

Seido compilation!!! Btw I still haven't watched MK1 story mode , I'm too afraid to be disappointed :"")

[vialdovi-artstuff]

some havik doodles -also i give him a boyfriend bc im not a coward

i will call him astu for the moment ( a male atacaman name ).

he was a seidan slave and prisioner , the guards there used him and many others for fighting that is how he met havik...they almost killed each other.

they took alike for each other specially bc despite how many wounds havik have they wont get infected or anything ( dude is an eldritch nightmare waiting to wake up , quan chi magic kind of snap him up )

something something and they both scaped along with other prisioners , giving the start of a pseudo revolution...

havik here has started to lose his mind already after years of abuse and chaotic nightmares and astu wont magically get him better but it kind of reminds him that there is good sometimes .

astu doesnt have any kind of superpowers or abilities , he is just a good fighter and knows a lil bit of traditional medicine ,,,can be a lil bit sarcastic and grumpy sometimes but likes to crack a joke here and there .

a friendship was born and then a very slow and shy love started to blosom

of course hotaru forces found them and burned astu alive and well it did not end well for our chaotic boy here.

mostly this was just ideas coming together for the moment and

his homie darrius know

Havik NEEDS Hotaru

I think my biggest complaint about Khaos Reigns aside from the Sektor & Cyrax design change is No Hotaru.

For those who did not get around to playing Deception & Armageddon. Let me tell you about Hotaru.

Hotaru is a General from the realm of Seido, the Realm of Order, and devotes himself to preserving law and order at any cost - to the point that he can be considered a fanatical zealot. Hotaru is more of a lawful-type of neutral (equivalent to his opposite pole Havik, who spreads discord and chaos) because he preserves law and order and harshly punishes those who dare break it, but he is not above preserving it to a higher authority (such as the Dragon King Onaga).

Not to mention what a sick design he had

Plus his special move was lava arrows.

There is so much you can do with him on gear alone.

Hotaru has so many things going for him.

Tall and imposing af which is rather unique for none-Shokan characters

Has cool carapace armour

Has a Naginata, a weapon that nobody else on the roster uses

Has cool lava themed abilities, something else rather unique to him that can be incorporated into so many combo chains, specials, finishers ect along with his Naginata.

His name means firefly in Japanese and he has a special called grasshopper. Take the lava burst and exoskeleton armour on top of this and do something cool with the fire bug theme.

A general from the Orderrealm or head of the Sedio Secret Police, you could not only delve into his conflict with Havik and make Havik more relevant in the main story but you could also give him some kind of rivalry with Shao, another general of a similar stature who shares Hotaru's militaristic themes and a warped mirror image of his disciplinism. Hotaru is actually on Outworld with other refugees from Seido as Mileena let them in so this could be set up quite easily.

His potential for badass outfits is limitless

Like how CAN YOU NOT SEE THE POTENTIAL????

And let's take a look at Havik's bio from MK1

"A citizen of the realm of Seido, Havik is sworn to take down its oppressive regime and free his people. There, order is prized above all else. Lawbreaking is met with strict punishment. Its citizens live in strictly regulated castes. As a member of Seido's lowest caste, Havik had neither rights nor privileges. He seethed with anger at the injustice. When he is brutally punished for a minor crime, Havik finally decides to act. He sets out to destroy Seido's regime and replace it with an anarchist utopia. Once he breaks Seido's social order, Havik will free its citizens. Together, they will live in blessed anarchy."

And you mean to fucking tell me you couldn't put someone in charge of Seido's oppressive regime or even the leader of Seido's secret police in the game? You're seriously telling me there was NO place for Hotaru in this story? Get the fuck out of here with that shit "Notaru" shit, Ed.

Also? They kind of gave Darrius story to Havik as a revolutionary. Speaking of Darrius, again WHY are they giving two revolutionaries but no goddamned oppressive figure from Seido to fight against???

Hotaru being absent from MK1's narrative is a creative failure. Like, they could've painted a shade of grey on Liu's character by having him recruit Hotaru to help maintain order in his timeline. The fact that there is no Chaos Realm just tells me Liu Kang just forced Hotaru and Havik to co-exist and that led to potentially Hotaru enforcing oppressive Order by any means necessary while Havik becomes an anarchist.

Hotaru would be fantastic here, especially as a overtly order obsessed character who yes, is aligned with the good guys, who slowly realize "aw shit this guys gonna be a problem too" as his methods and beliefs and goals aren't perfectly aligned by any means beyond "stop havik"

I think it’s kinda baffling how we have a story expansion where Havik is the villain and they just leave out the golden opportunity to bring back Hotaru.

Havik is chaos personified. Hotaru is the worst aspects of Order. He can go from saving you, liberating villages and setting up a fucking police state and NRS STILL does not see the potential in Hotaru?

Backstory

Perses is a Seidan, amongst those in the lower castes, born into a family of servants. When he's old enough to work, he's subject to working long hours, serving one of Seido's top government officials.

His only moments of solace are with Eunomia, another servant who serves the same official. She believes that one day all Seidan’s will be able to live freely, while Perses much more pessimistic, and believes that it will probably never come to fruition. As they grow into adults, they watch their families wither away in service of order. 

They both continue to faithfully serve and their bond blossoms into devotion to one another. For a time, she is the only light in his ‘sea-of-darkness’ life, and he proposes to her. They are married in secrecy. Or so they thought. 

Those they served somehow found out about the union, and they are both brought before them in shackles. They demand they renounce their unlawful marriage or be punished. Perses and Eunomia refuse. 

Eunomia pleads that they are in love, and promises that more servants will be born if it pleases them. But the officials hear none of it. And since she spoke up in their defense, she’s the one who’s punished. 

Perses is made to watch as the guards torture her, ripping out fingernails, whipping her until she bleeds, burning her skin. He begs them to stop, that it was his fault they were together. But it was too late. Eunomia was gone. When all is said and done, Perses' trembling body is taken back to his chambers and shackled to the bed. As the adrenaline wears off and the anger sets in, he begins to plan his escape.

Months pass of him going about his duties as if nothing happened. When he learned there was to be a ball thrown in honor of the Seidan military, he knew it was his chance. When no one is around, Perses poisons the wine they would be serving. The poison was concocted when he briefly had access to the kitchens, using a recipe his mother left behind when she died. 

Alongside the other unknowing servants, he serves the wine to all those who attend and sits back as the carnage unfolds.

The patrons clutch at their throats as they spew up blood, skin fading into a shade of purple. Soldiers and noblemen alike reach out for their own servants to help them, but it's futile. Perses couldn't help but grin as he watched the man who ordered the torture of his wife choke on his own blood. It's only when his clenched fists tingle that he realizes he is the reason he hasn't spit up any. He clenches his fists tighter, savoring the moment as the man chokes in agony as he tries to expel it. Perses is emotionless when he falls face-first into his plate of food. 

But he couldn't revel in it for long, as he had to make his escape. Quickly. 

And escape he does, but not without swinging by the bedroom of the man he served, rummaging through his drawers and closet. He finds what he's looking for in the man's closet, stashed away in a shoebox. The makeshift ring he had given his wife when he proposed, made of wire he had stolen from one of the lamps in the foyer, and a polished red rock he had chipped out of the bathroom walls. 

It was the last piece of Eunomia he had left. 

It's too small for him to slip on any of his fingers, so he stashes it away in his pockets. He hears heavy boots rushing down the hall as he shoves the box back into its place. He then stuffs a fresh pair of clothes into a pillowcase before making his way into the extravagant bathroom.

There he finds a bottle of black paint. Without thinking, he uses the mirror to lather it on his forehead and around his eyes, before he stuffs the container into the pillowcase as well. Then he walks to the window, slides it open, and climbs out. 

He makes for the slums, the one place no one would dare look for him. It was too dirty for even the Seidan government. There, he hears a man with an intense voice preaching to the passersby about how they should take their freedom back from their oppressors. When the rest of the crowd around the man dispersed, Perses remained. He asked the man his name. 

He says his name is Dairou, but he could call him Havik.

Mirror Darrius/TR Darrius Bio

Darrius is known among the citizens of the Democratic Republic of Seido as a person willing to help those who need him, from workers in need of someone who knows how to organize an strike against unfair bosses to organizing protests against the worst decisions of the Court. In particular, he has spoken many times against their decision to stay completely neutral in the conflict between the Edenian Regime and its allies against Outworld, arguing that not only are they allowing a whole realm to be conquered, but it is only a matter of time for the Edenian Regime to target Seido too.

Due to the constant refusal of the government to take any kind of action, Darrius has decided to do it by himself. Alongside a group of close friends who offered themselves volunteer, he travels through the realms offering the best help they can to those who oppose the Edenian Regime: the Red and Black Dragon clans in Earthrealm, Nitara's revolutionaries in Vaeternus, Syzoth's resistance group in Zaterra, Shinnok's Brotherhood in the Netherrealm, Havik's (relatively) peaceful group of Chaosrealmers, etc.

During this time he has also kept contact with Commander Hotaru, who, despite not being able to fully assist him due to his duty as a Seidan Guard who must follow the Court's decisions, still gives him all the help he can, since he agrees with him on the need to stop the Edenian Regime and prevent them from targeting Seido. Through this unofficial alliance of theirs, Darrius wishes he can eventually convince the Seidan government to acquire their alliance against the Edenian Regime before it is too late. For the good of Seido and every other realm, his allies hope he succeeds.

Ladies, gentlemen and my dear non-binary people, here we have our first Mirror Universe goatee. There will be more.

WELCOME TO MORTAL KOMBAT!

Running after my World Warrior (Street Fighter) tournament is none other than the gore-y, surreal, awesome Mortal Kombat tournament!

One evening after work from Seido Capital, Xīn Yán finally came back home @ brothel (where she was raised).After she greets the owner, clients & colleagues, Xīn Yán went to the dining room and was greeted by Shujinko who finished making a pot of tea for the most beautiful Seido guard.

Shujinko:How was your day, Xīn Yán?

Xīn Yán:Kinda tough; especially with Hotaru & Darrius,Shu-Shu (nickname for Shujinko)

Shujinko:Poor little princess...By the way,is Seidan Resistance created any rebellion this time?

Xīn Yán:Not yet....But I heard the rumours that one of the guards spot a Red Dragon leader;who also revealed as one of Lord Argus' son

Shujinko: Is he Edenian?Why he came Seido?

Xīn Yán:I don't know but it's a good chance for you to run back to your realm as Seido Guards had to fight against those bad guys

Shujinko:Hope so.By the way,I already treat his brothel as my second home,I considered you & your colleagues like my family members that I left for studying abroad...

Xīn Yán: Don't be upset, Shujinko.We at here always considered you as our own father we never had

Both of Shujinko & Xīn Yán hug each others

Examining MK1: And the Rest

Earthrealm and Outworld bear the brunt of the characters in this game, but there's a smattering of outsiders running about the twin realms as well.

Ashrah What a surprise it was to see Ashrah here. Between MK1 and Cage Match, they seem to be pushing Ashrah pretty hard right now. That's nice of them; She's a cool character. Netherrealm demon blessed by a sacred sword, allowing her to slay demons to purify her soul. It's a neat concept.

As an ex-member of the Brotherhood of Shadow, she also has potential to examine this particular corner of the MK-verse. One controlled by Quan Chi, occupied also by Noob Saibot and Sareena, but rarely dwelt on.

MK1 doesn't dwell much on it either. Ashrah shows up, explains her backstory, fights Quan Chi, and then leaves the plot. It's not much, and feels like it's only here to justify adding her to the roster. But as a character entirely snubbed from the first reboot, it's more than she's had in many long years.

Geras Geras is a dedicated guardian of time, here to do all the Time Keeper stuff while Liu Kang gets to fart around as Protector. Divorcing Kang from the Time Keeper role and leaving it mostly in Geras's hands was a good choice.

I like Geras, but I also wouldn't mind if he took the Hourglass and left. We need to start bringing down the stakes somehow; This shit is already out of control. Giving the protags limitless omniscience and even a degree of control over all of time and space is a big part of why it's out of control.

The Hourglass makes Liu Kang too powerful, such that the kind of multiversal timeline-hopping threats that drag down the end of the game became necessary. Shifting it over to Geras only shifts that burden. Passing it right back to Kang at the end, even moreso.

If there's a way to scale back from the Hourglass while keeping Geras, I'm all for it. But as it stands, he's the living embodiment of the out-of-control threat escalation bubble that Mortal Kombat currently finds itself in.

Havik Speaking of characters getting a big push recently, we have Havik. Returning in an MKX comic, then making his video game re-debut in MK1.

Chaosrealm's been culled from the lore for the sake of simplicity, turning Havik into a Seidan terrorist revolutionary instead. Which is typically Darrius's role. But he's not Darrius. He's inexplicably Dairou? But he's doing Darrius's shtick, which is why he has Darrius as his Plus One. They consolidated every Seidan character that isn't Hotaru into Havik.

Havik is the villain who most feels like he's along for the ride. He's here for the sake of having Havik in the game. He's rarely focused on, while his non-regenerative but unique fleshy-weird abilities get zero explanation whatsoever.

Like Ashrah, Havik's role in the game seems to be to assure audiences that the 3-D Era characters aren't forgotten, rather than having anything that the story wants him to actively contribute.

Also in that boat is....

Nitara While several characters took a heroic turn with MK1, Nitara took a turn for the wicked. As a vampire, there was always a necessary darkness to her character. But ultimately, her ambition was to free her people from Outworld's enslavement, and to protect them from being slaughtered by Ashrah. In a sense, she was a heroic figure - albeit a hero of vampires. It's complicated.

The new Nitara is still a hero of vampires. She seeks a way to solve a food shortage among her people, which she ultimately does by instituting livestock programs. Horrifying livestock programs. But. Y'know. Vampires.

But she's mainly here as a punching bag for the heroes. She allied with Quan Chi because she thought he could solve her problems. When he doesn't, she goes off and solves them herself.

She shares the problem that plagues Havik and Ashrah: These third-party characters are individually interesting, but are contextually so divorced from the events and characters and places driving the plot that there's not much they can bring to the table.

Quan Chi Quan Chi's problems are two-fold, suffering separately from a problem plaguing the Earthrealmers and one plaguing the Outworlders.

First, the problem of slavish devotion to reference. Quan Chi isn't here for any reasons that pertain to him as a character. He's here because he needs to be here, to fulfill all of the Deadly Alliance references that the game wants to make.

This is especially true of Titan Quan Chi - A character who stands with Titan Shang Tsung at the height of the ultimate conflict but who, and I cannot stress this enough, has not been present in this story until this point.

Titan Tsung went out and got an army of Titans, and decided to keep one of the Quan Chis to himself purely for the sake of Deadly Alliance nostalgia. Titan Quan Chi is Shang Tsung's purse.

The other issue is that Chains of Iconicity thing acting up again. One of the spirits from his Soulnado generator breaks free and, uh, bleaches his skin white. That's it. It wanted his skin to be white, because it's supposed to be white. The ghost wasn't after vengeance or anything; it was just bothered because he didn't look right.

Uh. Okay. Cool? Have a nice afterlife, vengeful spirit of a canon purist.

It's a funny reversal from the way the original series tried to treat Quan Chi as the newer, better, cooler, all-around more awesome Shang Tsung. We've gone from that to Shang Tsung dragging Quan Chi around by the ear for the sake of nostalgic aesthetic.

Skills  &.   powers.

don't reblog or steal or i will live in your walls <3

Johnny's interest in martial arts hadn't been intended,   despite his fascination with the likes of Bruce Lee and other famous action stars while growing up,   it never occurred to him that he would ever go down the same path as them,   and reach so far beyond than the life of any Hollywood star would ever hope for.   He began with a simple course of Karate as a means of self defense,   his mother came to the decision after many instances of bullying that went unaddressed and unpunished in his school,   he needed to learn to toughen up and stand up for himself,   [  a task that should be appointed to a father that was constantly out of the picture.  ]   It was fun to the young boy he was at first,   but as he progressed from one belt to another,   his interest had grown exceptionally,   he practiced non stop and got recognised for his hard work,   eventually earning him a spot in various local tournaments then world championships,   which he had won four in his lifetime.   His achievements gained him audience with the best masters around the world and he was eager to be taught by them,   he advanced in other forms of Karate like Shorin Ryu,  Shinto Ryu,   [  that he later developed better from Darrius' teachings,   who he had gotten to meet during his training in Orderrealm later on.  ]   He mastered Jeet Kune Do and Muay Thai as well.

  It was all skill and physical abilities that had unknowingly qualified him to be a part of the mortal kombat tournaments,   which he at first agreed upon as a publicity stunt to save his failing career at the time.   It was at the end of the first tournament that something within him had sparked into a life,   a power beyond his imagination or knowledge to ever be in possession of.   Raiden himself didn't seem to be aware of it but after some research it's revealed to the star that he was a descendant from a mediterranean cult that bred warriors for combat.   That green glow is similar in essence to the likes of Shang Tsung,   Quan chi,   Nightwolf and even Shao khan,   which is presumably cultivated by souls.   The method with which this cult used to create a generation of warriors by using the souls of their fallen as enhancement for combat.   It was dormant during Johnny's life,   awakened at the defeat of Shao,   as his last remains were fading,   he had unknowingly absorbed a large amount of souls the Kahn had in possession from all the worlds he had conquered.

  It was a gradual shift from then on,   something was off but he could never put his finger on It,   only for it to emerge during the encounter with Shinnok,   the green glow that encased his body and acted like a shield,   fading as quickly as it had appeared.   He couldn't summon it by will again,   but rather it showed by itself,   more frequently the more he fought,   constantly feeding into that power until the near catastrophic end result as sudden bursts of energy from a huge quantity of souls his body was now struggling to contain.   He sought Raiden and Nightwolf's advice in order to control it,   or at least understand it,   [  for he was worried he might hurt those around him unintentionally  ],   the only solution they could come to was to send him to Orderrealm,   where he went through long and extensive training by both Hotaru and Darrius,  the conclusion was learning how to channel those powers through controlled blasts of energy,   as seen through what became his signature move afterwards the shadow kick.   He also learned to direct them through his kicks and punches,   conjuring energy blasts,   then later and with enough experience,   encasing his body with it to be used as shield upon command,   or his fists and kicks as an enhancement of strength during combat.

  Moreover,   due to this connection with souls,   his attentive nature is heightened as he can sense the others feelings to a relative degree by picking up on negative energy and thus better understand those around him.   It might be said he mastered his inner powers with age,   he's certainly more in control and attuned to its full capacity,   he can channel energy with ease and fluidity as though its second nature to him or an extension to his strength.   But he isn't exactly in full control at all times,   as explained,   he simply learned how to channel it   &.   keep those bursts of energy in check.   However,   when he's driven to an edge and is at the end of his limits,   his powers shift from green to crimson red,   which happens only when he uses his powers to its full extent,   but lack of concentration in that state can he destructive and it's highly draining to him that his body shuts down completely afterwards,   it's a last trump card he uses only at dire circumstances.

  Johnny possesses those powers in the new timeline as well,   had never been aware of them but just like the previous timeline it's a gradual process,   already triggered without his knowledge during the fight against Quan chi to stop the well of souls from creating Ermac.   Some of the souls that escaped when the stone was broken had gone through to Johnny who had been knocked unconscious at the time.   Some semblance of his powers show through speed for the most part,   when he dashes forward to evade an attack or when he puts enough force into a punch or kick,   the shadow left behind is quick for the eye to see but there's a faint green glow within it.   It's a slight shift he had noticed but took it as nothing more than a result of more extensive practice.   But its only bound to grow and emerge in full with time,   well after the first tournament and constant combat that he finds out and seeks Liu kang's aid this time around.

✂ time to finally end Darrius

MURDER MEME || always open || @chxxseyourfighter

Justice was a solemn obligation. Solemn and sometimes painful.

He stood next to Darrius on the stage in the public amphitheatre, gazing upon the hundreds and hundreds of restrained Resistance members, on their knees like their leader.

These had all once been normal Seidan citizens but got caught up in the web of romantic lies that Darrius manipulated them with. Now they were terrorists. Enemies of the state--and they would pay. Although criminals, they were also victims in a way, and Hotaru understood how they came to be that way.

They had been partners in the Guard. Friends. They worked well together and covered each other's weaknesses. They talked to each other. They understood each other. Until they didn't. It only took one moment, one awful moment, to erase centuries of friendship and to become enemies as if from the dawn of time. Hotaru knew this well.

Hotaru had unshakeable faith in the Senate. Just because the two guards happened upon a shady deal between two senators did not mean that it was their place to charge in and disrupt the order of the State to prosecute politicians. But the fact that it broke Darrius, it broke his resolve and loyalty and faith and turned him into a monster--that meant he had been fooled; that there had been red flags and warning signs that Hotaru should have seen. But looking back, even now, he could not see them. Darrius was a liar, a born liar, and had never truly been his friend.

Next to each prisoner in the vast crowd below them stood a member of Seidan law enforcement - some were members of the Guard and some were provincial security. Each had a weapon at the neck of their prisoner.

Hotaru looked down at Darrius. Darrius was calm. Cool. Collected. Looking at his people. One might think that he cared about them. But Darrius cared for nobody but himself. He was as willing to sacrifice his followers as he was to slaughter innocent civilians for his "cause" - a cruel and losing cause.

Hotaru had prepared a speech for this moment. He was utterly unable to stick to it. Instead he spoke what came to him. If anybody found out, they would be scandalized.

"Today marks the end of the scourge that was your apostate Resistance," Hotaru said. "You betrayed your families. You betrayed your friends. You betrayed that child, that innocent child you never knew, whose life you violently stole in smoke and flame and hubris. Your legacy will be as terrorists who brought senseless death and disorder to innocent people for a repugnant cause."

He stared out. With blades to their necks, these resistance members suddenly had nothing to say.

Darrius still gazed out cooly, ignoring Hotaru. No shame. No regret. Defiant to the very end.

Hotaru, stone-straight and gazing out, spoke softly so that he could not be heard by the crowd. "The fate you promised your people."

Hotaru nodded.

The juicy sound of hundreds of throats being sliced in unison reverberated throughout the amphitheatre. Utter silence followed.

Hotaru said one more thing to his old friend.

"I hope it was worth it."

Without looking down, Hotaru slit Darrius' throat.

It was over. Seido and its innocent civilians were finally safe; the legendary Seidan Guard living up to their reputation quashing the Resistance. Darrius would never hurt anybody again. The Seidan Guard would never have to hunt him down, gather intelligence about him, intercept him. No more games of cat-and-mouse. No more presence in Hotaru's mind.

Hotaru was not surprised that he suddenly felt alone.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Kai the only pre-Armageddon Mortal Kombat PC to never appear again in any media post-Armageddon? I don't mean playable, I mean any visible appearance in any form: ending cameos, comics, movies, etc.

Darrius, Shujinko, Mavado, and Khameleon are all Kameo Fighters in MK1; Jarek is in the MKX comics; Hotaru is in Joker's MK11 arcade ending; Hsu Hao is in Joker's arcade ending and also the MKX comics; Moloch is in Scorpion's Revenge; Kira, Kobra, and Drahmin are in Snow Blind; Mokap is in Cage Match; Taven and Daegon appear in multiple arcade endings; I'm 99% sure Chameleon is one of the MK11 arcade endings though I can't remember which one; Blaze and Meat are in MK11's Krypt; and Dairou has been merged into current-timeline Havik.

Kai has nothing but a couple verbal references to his existence. That's it. Making it worse is that he's considered bottom-tier in both of his playable appearances, which I don't care about myself because I have no interest in tournament play, but on principle that's insult to injury. It's not even that he's hated in the fandom, or by the creators (like Hsu Hao), he's just neglected. Come on Netherrealm, give him another shot; I bet you could make his handstand gimmick really good now.

MK OC Randomness part 8... I think. Fuck it! We're going with it!

Welcome back to the shit show. Let's go!

also some of these jokes are from lamas with hats

Qiao Fu is my name for the Lin Kuei Grandmaster

Also some of these jokes are based off skits done by Moonkitti on YouTube. Just re-worded a bit

Nozomi: Hey uncle Shinnok! Do your old man voice!

Shinnok, in his normal voice: What old man voice?

Nozomi: Yeah! That one!

------

Nozomi: ooh who's this?

Qiao Fu: That's my old wife.

Nozomi: The one who died long ago?

Qiao Fu: The very same

Nozomi: *eyeing the picture* That's too bad. She looks really cute.

Qiao Fu: I'm sorry, do you find my old wife attractive?

Nozomi: Do you not!?

------

Nozomi: I wanna see my little boy!

Shang Tsung: *helping Meat walk* Here he comes!

Nozomi: *scooping Meat up and hugging him* I wanna see my little boy!

------

"Revenant" Reiki: WHY WOULD YOU THINK ANY OF THIS IS A GOOD IDEA!?

"Revenant" Michiko: Probably because I'm a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence.

"Rev" Reiki: Oh.

"Rev" Michiko: I don't understand how you keep forgetting that.

------

Shinnok: Shh, do you hear that?

Shinnok: That's the sound of forgiveness.

Melantha: That's the sound of people dying dad!

Shinnok: That is what forgiveness sounds like. Screaming and then silence.

------

Shariah: How did you even do this!?

Meat: A dollop of fairy dust!

Shariah: Meat!

Meat: I ripped the tag off a mattress.

Shariah: This isn't funny Meat!

Meat: Who's laughing? Clearly not all the people that just exploded.

Shariah: I'm leaving! I've had enough of this!

Meat: But thank of all the perfectly roasted faces we get to munch on now.

Shariah: What? Why?

Meat: Because we're friends. And friendship is two pals munching on well cooked faces together.

------

"The bar was so low it was practically a tripping hazard in Hell! And yet, here you are limbo dancing with the devil!"- Melantha to Hotaru at a family dinner.

------

"Oh no. There are consequences to your actions? Who would've thought?" Krow to Raiden and Flamus, still pissed at them for completely destroying a village that housed the remaining nymphs and nymphlims their husband made.

------

Nozomi: I'm just here to collect Michiko

Qiao Fu: *tries to stab her*

Nozomi: YOU'RE AN UNFIT FATHER FU! THAT'S NOT EVEN YOUR DAUGHTER! YOU HAVE A HUMAN CHILD! WHO THE FUCK'S DEMON CHILD IS THAT! WHO ARE YOU STEALING CHILDREN FROM!?

------

Michiko: You are not my father!

Qiao Fu: Bring proof you are not my daughter!

Meixiu's ghost in the background: Bitch! You literally murdered her birth father!

------

Nyx: Get out

Reiko: Aww come on. Can't I check in on my favorite little sister?

Nyx: If you don't leave me my room Reiko, I will stab you. And when I do it won't look pretty.

Reiko: there's a pretty way to stab people? Like with a butterfly knife or something?

Nyx: yup. Handle and all.

Reiko: oh... OH!

------

Nemos: Greetings Thunder God!

Raiden: Eh? Nemos what are you doing here?

Nemos: I'm taking advantage of your guilt-ridden personality to get a head start on being a better realm protector while no one is looking.

Raiden: Nope. New timeline, new Raiden. Go- Go play with your sisters.

Nemos: I'll have you know I've lived 15 lives in which I've played with my sisters, and none of them have been consequential!

Raiden: *sighs* I'm trying to take you seriously. Really. But it just feels like an even smaller Shinnok is yelling at me right now.

------

Hotaru: *busting into the Sky Temple and picking up Nemos* My beautiful son, I am back from my epic battle of driving out the rebels!

Nemos: Tell me, man who sired me!

Hotaru: We were fighting when suddenly Soldier B produced a substance that burned through their skin!

Nozomi: That sounds like my poison...

Hotaru: Oh no! We'd never poison anyone. Only ambush them in the middle of the night, kill them through physical violence, and intimidate them in other wise orderly court proceedings. Poison is bad.

Nozomi: Have you considered maybe, asking him if he poisoned them?

Hotaru: Oh no, I trust him completely.

Melantha: *holding Discordia and Harmonia* But, what if he did?

Hotaru: *small whimper before glaring and shouting* Solider B! Come here and apologize to my wife for making her think about things immediately!

Solider B: Hi, what?

Hotaru: I said apologize to Melantha!

Solider B: Uh yeah, sorry for poisoning the rebels or something..

Melantha: Hey, has anyone seen Nemos?

------

Darrius: It seems one of the soldiers has summoned Melantha to their side.

Hotaru: *spying on the rebels* Gonna go see Melantha. I'm gonna see Melantha at the meeting. Gonna see Melantha. Melantha.

------

OB: I made a perfectly good Titan

Fuyuka: You fucked up my daughter is what you did!

Fuyuka: Look at her! She's traumatized!

------

Amara: Don’t worry, I have a few knives up my sleeve.

Leila: I think you mean cards.

Amara, pulling knives out of her sleeves: No, I do not.

------

Ermac: Bad things keep happening to us, like we have bad luck or something.

Zyta: Ermac, you don't have bad luck. The reason bad things happen to you is because you're a dumbass.

------

Zyta: You love me, right, Ermac?

Ermac: Normally, we’d say yes without hesitation, but we feel like this is going somewhere and we don’t like it.

------

Kristy: *steps on her glasses by accident*

Kristy: *inhales* If I knew that this would be the fate that befalls me and these damned glasses, I would've just let the fire reach my left eye and burn it out completely!

------

Megumi: I turned out perfectly fine!

Ayeka: Megumi, this morning you thought a ghost made your toast

Megumi: I DIDN’T PUT THE BREAD IN! YOU DIDN’T PUT THE BREAD IN!!!

------

Zyta: Stop buying plastic skeletons for Halloween! It's terrible for the environment!

Philomela: Yeah! Locally sourced, all natural skeletons are much more environmentally friendly!

------

Discordia, holding a python: Guys I impulsively bought a snake, what do I name him

Harmonia: You did WHAT–

Nemos: William Snakepeare

------

Discordia: Hey Harmonia,

Harmonia: Yes?

Discordia: Can a person breathe inside a washing machine while it’s on?

Harmonia:

Harmonia: Where’s Nemos?

------

Discordia: Here’s a fun Christmas idea. We hang mistletoe, but instead of kissing, you have to FIGHT whoever else is under it.

Harmonia: Discordia no.

Nemos: Mistlefoe.

Harmonia: Please stop encouraging her.

------

Store Worker: Would a Ms. Philomela please come to the front desk?

Philomela, arriving at the desk: Hello, is there a problem?

Store Worker: *points to Amara and Zyta*

Store Worker: I believe they belong to you?

Amara and Zyta, simultaneously: We got lost :(

Philomela: I didn’t even bring you guys here with me-

------

Erron, driving Ash and Kamden: So how was your day?

Ash: We almost got surprise adopted!

Erron: What?

Kamden: We almost got kidnapped.

Erron: Oh, okay.

Erron: *slams on the breaks* WAIT WHAT?!

------

Nozomi: Welcome, fellow idiots

Kung Lao: Hello, Nozomi

Nozomi: No, no, not you, you're not an idiot

Kung Lao: You underestimate me

------

Nozomi: What are your goals?

Kung Lao: To pet all the dogs.

Nozomi: No, fitness goals.

Kung Lao: To be able to run fast enough to pet all the dogs.

------

Liu Kang: You know, not every problem can be solved with a sword.

Nozomi: That's why I carry two swords.

------

Sareena: Ok, maybe playing ‘whose family is most dysfunctional’ wasn’t the best idea we’ve had. Michiko's been crying in the bathroom for an hour. We can’t get her out...

------

Sareena: Do you have any skeletons in your closet?

Michiko: You mean literally or figuratively?

Sareena: Honestly, the fact that I have to specify...

------

Sareena: Michiko... Why did you draw a pentagram on the floor?

Michiko: Your text told me to Satanize the house before you returned.

Sareena:

Sareena: I wrote sanitize, Michiko.

------

Sareena: You kill people for money?!

Michiko: I can explain!

Sareena: And all this time I’ve been doing it for free like a chump!

Powers

Stella controls the divine power of the Sun, Moon, and Stars. This magic requires centuries to master so it's hard to tell when she will unlock her full potential. She is also quite gifted in other types of sorcery, like healing, enchantment, and occult teachings. For now, Stella relies on her fighting skills since she was trained at a young age.

Personality

Unlike other Seidans, Stella is friendly, laid-back and like to chat. But she is not naive. Stella is far more clever and observant than she appears. It's hard to hide something from her. Her powers can influence her mood but she learned how to control it. She always tries to compromise, even in hopeless situations. She often doubts herself and can be too hesitant in situations where she needs to be confident.

History

Stella was born in a small Finnish village. Her mother loved her dearly and once told one of her neighbors that she was a 'Gift from a God'. It is unknown who is Stella's biological father, although it is clear that he is a God.

When Stella was six her village was attacked by the Red Dragon Clan and her mother was murdered. Stella was able to run away and later was saved by the Seidan mercenary Dairou, who was on a mission in Earthrealm. Once a parent himself, Dairou considered their meeting as a second chance and adopted Stella.

He gave her a home in Seido and became her mentor. Stella joined the Seidan Resistance to free her home from violent government. At the age of 15 she inflitrated Seidan Guard to spy for Darrius. Under Hotaru's command, she continued her training. One day she got into Seido's archives and learned that it was Darrius, who killed Dairou's family.

Later, she discovered that Darrius was planning to let Havik's forces in Seido and destroy everyone, who would try to oppose him. Stella ended up in a difficult situation. She knew if she tried to warn Hotaru, he would've discovered her secrets and imprisoned both her and her father. But unfortunately, both Hotaru and Darrius found about Stella's treason.

Stella and Dairou had no choice but to escape and seek comfort in Earthrealm. In MKX, Stella was 18 and was sent on her first mission as a Seido Guardsman. In Outworld she met Reiko, who somehow survived after Havik's betrayal, and tried to arrest him. Reiko defeated Stella but refused to finish her.

Later, they met when Stella fought the superior number of Chaosrealmers. Reiko helped her. When she asked why, he told her that they have a common enemy - Havik.

During Shinnok's invasion Stella and Dairou arrived at Earthrealm. Fujin agreed to give them asylum and try to warn Hotaru about Chaosrealm's invasion.

Before the events of MK11 Stella joins Kenshi and Takeda Takahashi in a quest of finding Taven and avenging her mother's death.

This OC belongs to @sunmoongoddess! She's wonderful!

no ones gonna understand what i’m talking abt but like i was rewatching the mk armageddon story mode and i think it’s funny that darrius and hotaru are on the villains side. “the forces of darkness” i think they’re referred to as bc darrius and hotaru are sworn enemies first of all and also darrius’s only crime was hating the government. he also killed dairou’s family but if dairou wanted me to care about that he should’ve been more interesting

Rules for Asks and whatnot

Ok, so this is totally my fault for not laying this stuff out at first, honestly I didn’t really think I’d get any asks so there’d be no real reason to make a post like this. Much to my surprise and delight though I am getting asks so I thought I’d lay out a couple of rules. Hmm I don’t really like the word rules here though, so maybe guidelines is better??

Starting off with characters I’ll write for:

Bi-Han (both Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot), Kuai Liang, Smoke, Rain, Reptile, Ermac, Erron Black, Motaro, Reiko and Kollector

Characters I MIGHT write for (if you’re a mutual or lay on the flattery thick enough to the point I start believing I might do an OK job writing these I’ll give it a shot): Johnny, Kano, Raiden, Shang Tsung, Goro, Kintaro ,Baraka, Sektor,, Cyrax, Movado , Onaga

Characters I WON’T write: (these are characters that just aren’t my cup of tea/there are already really good writers out there doing them better than I ever could: All the female characters (with maybe the exception of Frost if she’s interacting with Kuai Liang or something like that), Kabal, Shao Kahn, Quan Chi Jax, Havik, Fujin, Hotaru, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Chameleon, Nightwolf , Stryker Shinnok, Jarek, Kai, Meat, Tremor, Blaze, Bo'Rai Cho, Drahmin ,Hsu Hao, Kenshi, Mokap, Dairou, Darrius, Kobra, Shujinko, Daegon, Taven, Kotal, Kung Jin, Takeda Takahashi, Geras, Scorpion

So, that takes care of characters I’ll write for, as far as asks/prompts I’ll do, I’m not going to answer asks with fictional characters you give me no background for or made up relatives. I will be happy to do reader inserts and your OCs no problem, just let me know what kind of person they are, give me details! I will most definitely do smut, not safe for work/tumblr asks, or just general fluff, what I’m less comfortable with is like romance or angst, that’s not to say I won’t write it, it’s just something I’m not as skilled at and might take longer to post. For generic requests that could be taken multiple ways (like the prior request I had about Noob and his S/O in bed) I’m going to ask you guys to specify if you want smut or not. 

Speaking of smut, I’m happy to write all genders, sexualities, and body types, but I NEED you to specify what you’re OC/reader insert is for me to do a good job with it. If you’re uncomfortable putting it in the ask, just message me, I am a completely judgement free person and will never, ever make fun of/insult or hurt a person just because of things they can’t change. 

As far as smut goes, I’m a 37 year old t-rex, I don’t care what you want me to write I’ll most likely do it, the only things I won’t touch are feet, watersports and scat, they aren’t my thing, if you love it, awesome for you, but it’s just something I can’t get into or do a good job writing. As far as “taboos” go, it’s the internet, I’m a mature human being that realizes just because I write it doesn’t mean I condone it, I also realize they’re fictional characters so who the fuck cares what they do. So feel free to get weird with the asks guys, I want you to enjoy reading them!

Sorry this got so long, I just wanted to clarify some things. lol Thanks for all the love and support and to all who’s requested so far, and I look forward to writing more in the future!

Currently accepting requests for: I’m currently only going to write for Bi-Han (Sub-Zero or Noob) or my Self Insert, I just don’t have enough interest to write about anyone else. I’ll do any version of Bi-Han, game, TV, movie, I don’t care which, they’re all amazing. I will do Sub-Zero Bros stuff too but no solo Kuai stuff. I will also happily do Lin Kuei lore asks. I’m always open for trades (fics, art, mood boards etc.) though so if you’re interested in someone other than Bi-Han DM me and we can work something out, I will do any kharacter even ones on my ‘no’ list for trades. I’m also open to commissions but I don’t have a sheet made up for that and honestly I prefer trades. If you want an NSFW trade though I want something NSFW in return. I’ll still do smut asks but I’m limiting it to two a month and I’m only going to write it if I’m feeling it, I get too burnt out otherwise. I will always answer NSFW questions about Bi-Han, I just mean full blow Bi-Han x reader asks that inevitably turn into fics as two per month. I’ll do self ship as well as Bi-Han x Sol questions if you’re curious about my ships. My anons are back on and haters will be roasted or ignored, so don’t abuse the box, thanks.

ALL ASKS ARE OPEN
