#outworlder au

[transcending-chaos]

Question about the outworlder au, where would most of the main cast and oc cast be most often seen and what would they be most often doing?

Oh, it takes place on a different continent!

The OutWorlder AU is centered on Herunah, a huge land mass cut into swaths of land each Master rules. The central place where these kingdoms meet is where the actual Chaotic is built, essentially their version of Kirvac Mound, but instead of moving through time, it uses pathways through space to get people to where they need to be.

What started as a project to explore the world and see what other resources were out there accidentally malfunctioned, breaking reality there. That’s how they can get to Earth, and the Masters are trying to fix their broken kingdoms.

The primary cast from the show are in Herunian Chaotic, or the smaller lands surrounding it. The kids are confused, they don’t know what’s going on or why they’re trapped here. Sure, it’s the same world as Perim but they don’t know anything about this place and the Masters aren’t exactly garnering goodwill from their former Players/now subjects.

The OC crew had always focused on the lore of Perim and the world as a whole, so they have more understanding of what’s going on, but not by much.

I think their weirdest thing about this AU is that all 8 kids are working together (barely, but they’re trying) to see if there’s a way they can go back to Perim or Earth.

They don’t find one, they do find something far worse.

A lot of this was just for me to start building a version of the world that made sense since there’s a lot of cool concepts in the show that don’t always work with one another. Just wanted to have fun :3

Gays, gals and non-binary pals, the time has come, presenting:

°◇The Umgadi Girls!◇°

The Umgadi leader, Li Mei, was given the task of turning these four young women into true Umgadi warriors and, in the process, help them achieve their own personal goals!

Now let me ramble a bit (a lot) about their designs!

Li Mei wears a typical Umgadi outfit, the only thing is that I gave her her classic bandana but now adorned with silver to resemble other Umgadi hairpieces!

For the rest of the girls, I gave them the same outfit as Khameleon as I believe this outfit is for those on a lower rank.

🗡 For Suchin, I gave her bangs cause I think they give her a meaner look. The tattoos all over her are lilies, a common symbol of redemption and a nod to her family's history!

She seeks to learn more about her family's roots in Outworld (Seido) and gather more skills to become a better vigilante for Thailand!

🌺 For Harumi, I gave her a messy pixie cut cause I thought it would reflect well her "too much energy" personality! She also has a lot of flower tattoos all over her, to represent important people in her life, she has one for her parents, for her grandparents, for Cetrion and Kuai too! And of course, they are a nod to her clan!

She seeks to fulfil the Shirai tradition of becoming an Umgadi and earn her place as next Grandmistress of the Order of Cetrion!

Now, I find it interesting how much sun Tanya has on her design, from her Union of Light Skin to her powers, and even her golden colour palette adds to it!

And it had me thinking, Tanya is the best example of an Umgadi we have, so her design speaks not only about her, but also about the Umgadi as a whole.

So what if Delia is a Sun Goddess?

She's already "The Lady of Flame" it wouldn't be too wild if she became the Goddess of Flame, and what bigger flame we have than the sun?

@rasta-bot once said she could be a blacksmith Goddess that creates holy weapons, now imagine if she uses the sun as a forge!

Now you must be wondering why doesn't Li Mei have any sun motif on her? Or why Jade doesn't have a face paint?

🔆 My idea is that Tanya is not from Sun Do, but from another city in Edenia, and was raised by a different group of Umgadi with their own worshiping rituals (which include the face paint).

She was sent to Sun Do after proving herself to be the best of her group, now if she succeeds here, she gets the to perform her duties in Sun Do, closer to the Matrons Superior, serving the royal family itself and more importantly, being among the best of the best!

She seeks to become the best Umgadi warrior to ever exist and be remembered as such!

🍃Now, Jade is not from Sun Do either, she's a countess and her family is ally of the Osh-Tekk people and (thanks to her absent parents) she spent most of her life among the Osh-Tekk.

they also worship the Sun Goddess (though they call her by other name) and it was through them that Jade started to learn more about Delia and ended noticing some sort of mysterious connection with the Goddess, and thus came the wish to become an Umgadi. She decided to train in Sun Do to be closer to the Matrons Superior and find some answers.

She seeks to learn what is exactly her connection with Delia!

For her design, she has the sun tattoo (given by the Osh-Tekk) and her jewelleries are supposed to resemble Aztec (therefore Osh-Tekk) jewellery!

They are all gifts from Kotal, they are old friends and he likes to gift her stuff. Though it would be convenient for both their parents for them to marry, they never liked each other that way (plus, Jade is pretty sure he has a thing going on with that to-be Kytinn leader from the Arnyek island, she doesn't like D'Vorah one bit, but trusts her friends judgement...)

Oh yeah, and the Edenians have pointy ears too because I said so :P

Aaaaaaaaand that's it for now, folks!! :D

Questions and suggestions are very welcomed, I really want to make this AU grow!

An special thanks to all my girlies for being always so supportive to my ideas!💕 @mikka-minns @thedragonholder @madamealtruist @orbitinytheworld @rasta-bot @meme099 @moody-bloos

[charlotte-family-apologist]

I am Desperate to hear more of your mk worldbuilding headcanons (also, your art is stunning)

Aaaa thank you 💕 Don’t worry I got you

Zaterrans are modern human’s missing ancestor.

Male Osh-Tekk are teal while females are brown. They also have feathers instead of hair with bird hands and feet.

Edenia has a huge veiling culture.

The Kollector was the one who brought Sento to Outworld, Shang Tsung purchased it from him.

Khao is made entirely of islands completely disconnected from each other (ex. desert island right next to a swamp island). On the other hand Seido is one large continent with little biodiversity.

Omegis is the baba yaga.

Cyromancers naturally have fast heartbeats because their heart is trying to compensate for how cold their bodies are.

Most folklore creatures come from races and animals from different realms accidentally crossing a rift.

There aren’t many coastal settlements in Outworld because the merging of realms always causes flooding.

Mortal Kombat 1 Behind the Scenes AU: Enlisting Outworld friends, p. 8 (General Shao & Li Mei, II)

Author’s note: If there is no Jerrod around and Sindel won't listen to Li Mei, you get Shao to argue with the Empress. The man has no fear and will happily butthead with Sindel with no worry about Imperial Court. He probably caused a lot scandals already (with adopting Reiko among many other things), so what will change one more? 🤣 Liu Kang tried to avoid it, but if Sindel wants be stubborn then he will too in his quest of bringing Kitana and Mileena on the film set.

Mortal Kombat AU: Enenra Kahn

Note: this character bio is not in the same universe as any of my established fanfictions

After a pitched battle for control of their shared body, the demon of smoke and vapor known as an Enenra has been excised from the body of the human Tomas Vrbada.

Tomas was free from his turmoil, and free to join the battle against the returned Dragon King.

However, this left the Enenra demon to travel formlessly through the realm of Outworld. Eventually, the demon found a new host body to inhabit and allow it to interact with the world around it.

It had learned its lesson about the perils of coexisting with the living. For its host, it would join with the dead.

Escaping deep into the dungeon if the old Outworld Imperial Palace, abandoned since Reiko’s loyalists had fled after his unexpected assassination by the Deadly Alliance, the Enenra demon found the tomb of Shao Kahn. Joining with the corpse of the defeated tyrant, who had laid dead since the failure of his invasion of Earthrealm, the Enenra could now make use of its dark powers without limit.

Upon awakening, some remnant of the former despot’s ego compelled the demon to hide his ruined face with the helmet of a long-dead soldier. It then emerged the tomb, ready to enact its own designs on the realms.

The Emperor of Outworld is dead.

Long Live the Emperor.

[outlawssweetheart]

AU where Shao Kahn is just a tired single Dad™ trying to raise his brood of feral children. (Kitana, Mileena, Reiko, Skarlet, Jade, Ermac.)

EDIT: Maybe Jade is the friend who always hangs around so often to the point that she basically becomes another one of his kids.

[mrstsung]

The only kids shang tsung would have and loves is his own. From himself.

NOT MILEENA. sorry not sorry i hate that hc with a burning passion from fandom.

If it's not made from him,the ol fashion way. He wouldn't be as keen with it. Im not saying if there was a child in the equation with you before (single parent) that he wouldn't step up. He would. But if it's a child made by magic or something like that. It would bring back not so nice memories. Ptsd even.

So i doubt he'd be dad to an experiment like mileena or milly herself. Too much baggage there. I've been over why that hc from Fandom isn't a good one because it's so ooc and ignoring his tramas from shao kahns court and the crap he went through. It's ignoring key parts for a short lived thing that honestly could be easily remedied by MAKING AN OC OR FANKID.

If you want him to have a half tarkatan child make an oc. Leave mileena alone!

She needs kitana,her sister,not a father. If anything. Raiden is right fucking there. Have him step up.

Shang tsung i love him to death but kids,is a touchy subject i feel for him. And honestly,not everyone is ok with parenting. Even people who like kids,want kids but cant have em,etc.

Sorry for this rant but i just do not like this hc. And i myself as much as i dont mind kids,they are a lot of work,and even reading hcs about parenting drains me. Don't get me wrong shang would be an excellent father,just not to mileena. Mileenas father IS SHAO KAHN. that's right there,plain as day. No matter what you think,say or hc. Shao kahn is millys dad. Now like i said kitana stepping up,squashing the unnecessary beef,and ACTUALLY WRITING THEM WITHOUT TARNISHING EITHERS CHARACTER BY WRITING MILEENA AS A FUCKING DISEASED ANIMAL THAT CAN EASILYTUNR BACK INTO A CONVENIENTLY ATTRACTIVE EYECANDY UGH. is what needs to happen. Kitana and mileena despite her being a clone,actually being sisters and ruling outworld side by side.

She doesn't need a man. To make her great. Father or otherwise.

Plus mileena being treated like she has no agency. Even as a fictional character. Pisses me off. Women of mk get this too often. Sadly.

Plus shang doesn't like mileena nor treated her like a person. And mileena hates shang for creating her. Tanya was the only other person who actually gave a rats ass about her other than reptile. Kitana if they weren't cowards. Sindel cared for mileena but was selfish because kitana was actually born form sindel. Not milly. So.....sindel a bit vain. Unless you want mileena to be of a tarkatan affair and add drama to the kahns. Lol. (I actually have a whole ass story idea for that. But again. It's only an idea. Not what actually happened) either way. Mileena doesn't need a man to be amazing.

Tanya is her daddy *wink*. Lol. I joke i joke.

But yeah i just hate when fandoms ignore the obvious traumas and problems for a cute short hc that doesn't even make sense. MAKE AN OC. it's ok. It's not cringe. Police wont bust down your door for making a fucking kid oc for shang tsung. God!

Anyways. I have fankids with shang tsung. But it's more of an exploration idea than anything. Not nessicarly an au,but eh. I dont mind the idea. Just not nessicary for me in my self ship. I like being kidless in my self ship. It's easier to manage. But eh shit happens.

But anyways. If y'all wanna see the fankid au. Or my juicy outworld court drama idea. Lemme know.

Smoke Screen Side Story: Meanwhile, In Outworld

Outworld, present day. The sun was shining as usual, but something was off. It was like the air was wetter than usual, and there wasn’t as much traffic in the market, and more confusingly, not one single robbery attempt. The daughter of the late emperor was the first to notice, as there was clearly something off. She sniffed the air, saying nothing for a few seconds.

MUCHACHA: Hmm… it’s a bit humid today. I don’t recall the last time it was humid.

Suddenly, a guardsman walked over to Muchacha. She turned, standing up straight.

GUARDSMAN #1: Ma’am. The Kahn would like to speak to you. 

Muchacha would enter the throne room, kneeling before Kitana, and just Kitana, because she kicked Rain and Mileena out to have a one-on-one with Amara.

KITANA: Do you know why I summoned you, Muchacha? 

MUCHACHA: Is it because I failed you on that mission to find that bloodbender? Or was it because I almost killed Erron Black?

KITANA: No, it's because– You did what?

MUCHACHA: Don’t worry about it, your highness, Why did you call me? 

Kitana shakes it off, standing up and looking down at her.

KITANA: Yes, I admit I’m disappointed that you failed, but I am nothing like your father.

Muchacha looked up at the Kahn of Outworld, slightly confused.

MUCHACHA: Excuse me? What do you mean by that?

KITANA: It means that unlike him, I know how to forgive mistakes. 

Muchacha nodded, while in her mind she was happy by this.

MUCHACHA: So, why did you call me here, madame.

Outworld’s ruler would approach her slowly, her steps echoing through the room. 

KITANA: I am here to apologize for being so hard on you since Robin’s return. So as for today, you have a free week.

Muchacha looked up at Kitana, looking confused and pleased at the same time.

MUCHACHA: I– thank you, your highness. But if I’m not working, then who will protect the streets?

KITANA: Oh don’t worry, I took care of it.

As she said that, the shout of a man with an underwater filter in his voice was heard.

MUCHACHA: Was that…

KITANA: Rain. Yes. He’ll cover for you while you take the week off.

MUCHACHA: I assume not by choice.

KITANA: No, I’m forcing him. Now rise.

The general would get off the ground, standing up and smiling at Kitana’s claim.

MUCHACHA: I like the way you think, your highness. And thank you, again.

KITANA: you’re welcome. Now go.

Muchacha then left, with a smile on her face. After a quick design change, she would head off to the local bar, where she would sit and order the heaviest thing they had. After a few minutes, the bartender walked up to the general, giving her the drink, and she would sip it as the chatter of dozens of other people. The band behind her played for hours, so naturally, they got tired and went backstage. Sitting there, she noticed the saurian siblings walking in the door and making their orders. Sabbia would notice Muchacha and the two would walk over to her.

SABBIA: Well hello, sunshine.

MUCHACHA: Don’t call me that. Especially in public.

SABBIA: Very well.

Astraia would listen to their chatter and giggle. 

ASTRAIA: Man, listening to you two argue is like music to my nonexistant ears. 

The bartender would bring Sabbia a light beer and Astraia a juice on a straw. The three would drink their drinks, opening a conversation.

SABBIA: What’re you do doin’ here? Hidin’ from the queen after killing Erron?

MUCHACHA: I’m not hiding, and I didn’t kill him. Can’t a woman have a drink just because?

SABBIA: Well yeah, but it ain’t exactly good for the immune system. Especially if it’s something as strong as the thing you’re drinking right now.

Muchacha would look at Astraia, and then whisper to Sabbia.

MUCHACHA: How old is she? Why is she here?

SABBIA: Don’t get your panties in a bunch. She’s above drinking age, just chooses not to. Clever girl, I’ll tell you that.

ASTRAIA: Awn, thanks, brother. You always know what to say.

She said, as she hugged Sabbia shortly after, to which he responded with patting her on the head. Muchacha would notice this, and smile.

MUCHACHA: Wow, you must be really proud to call yourself a brother.

SABBIA: Ye, well, it ain’t easy, but I can say I’m proud of it. 

Muchacha sat there, drinking like there’s no tomorrow. Astraia looked at her with an expression that reads “i am quite scared and very concerned”. She would then turn to her brother slowly.

ASTRAIA: (whispering) I’m starting to think she’s in too deep.

The general would shake her head off, heading off to the bartender and giving him quite a pay.

MUCHACHA: (referring to Sabbia and Astraia) This is for those two as well. Keep the change.

The saurian siblings saw her pay for both of them. Sabbia smiled and Astraia blushed.

SABBIA: Intoxicated as hell and still a clearer head than most people I met.

ASTRAIA: Kinda hot in a weird way…

Sabbia would hear his sister and turn.

SABBIA: Say what?

ASTRAIA: What? What do you mean “what”? I didn’t say anything.

Sabbia would look away, shugging. Muchacha walks out and heads off all the way back to her home, slightly wobbling around as she walks through the streets. As she roams the streets, she overhears a conversation between two people, one in a purple cape and one with a raspy voice. She hides behind a wall, listening closely as she shakes her head. 

HAVIK: Now then, do you remember what I told you?

JAY: Be gay, do crime?

Havik’s eyebrows drop, as he facepalms.

HAVIK: The OTHER thing I told you?

JAY: Oh.

They said, taking a strange amulet out of their pocket. Then they put it back and looked back at Havik, who handed Jay a strange looking device.

HAVIK: When the time comes, tomorrow at high noon, you will toss this in the palace throne room and get out as fast as possible. Understood?

Jay nods, putting it in her adventure satchel. Havik puts his hand on their shoulder. Muchacha squinted, and turned away as soon as her eyes met Havik’s. Jay looks at Havik in the eyes as he looks away.

JAY: Something wrong, pookie?

Havik snaps back, tuning over to Jay.

HAVIK: Oh, i-its nothing. Just stick to the plan.

Jay nods, and turns away from the kleric of chaos.

HAVIK: Wait, Jay, before you go…

Jay turns, and Havik gives them a big hug as he whispers into his ear.

HAVIK: Stay safe, and may chaos be with you.

Havik and Jay then walk off in different directions as Muchacha walked off while looking back at them. Jay would walk off while Outworld’s general followed her quietly. As she follows her, she notices she has an eye on her. The person in purple turns, and Muchacha would look away. She would then turn and run, while Muchacha followed her. Eventually, Jay would enter her house and shut the door. The general would then hide behind a corner, waiting for Jay to exit. An hour passes and Jay exits, with Muchacha meeting Jay at the door.

MUCHACHA: You aren't exactly hard to find, being the only person in  Outworld to wear a purple cape with a green vest.

Jay looked at Muchacha with a slight grin on their face. Muchacha, on the other hand, was not in the mood.

JAY: Are you here to arrest me for something I didn't do, or are you just going to insult my fashion sense? Cause I got places to be and things to do.

Muchacha looked at the adventurer, noticing their attitude. She would then grab their hand and pull them close to her face. Jay, surprised, would then get scared and sweat a little. Muchacha would then talk.

MUCHACHA: Okay listen, miss, or sir, or whatever you are, I don't know and I don't care, but I need to know why you were talking to Havik, and what the hell was in that package.

Jay would try to avert eye contact, as she was basically two centimeters away from Outworld's general.

JAY: I... are we 'bout to kiss?

Muchacha rolls her eyes, letting go of the adventurer's arm. 

MUCHACHA: (quietly) Listen, I wont apprehend you, as long as you tell me what you were plotting with that kleric.

Jay sighs, with a hand on her face.

JAY: First off, he's just a friend, and second we aren't plotting anything, okay? We just say shit sometimes. And third, you won't find out what I'm doing tomorrow. Not today, not ever. So you can just shove your nosy attitude up your ass.

Muchacha would hear Jay say that, and look at them angrily.

MUCHACHA: Listen, I don't need to arrest you. All I need is that thing in your satchel. So how about you give it to me, and I won't have to use force.

JAY: What thing? 

Jay said, taking bandages out of her satchel.

JAY: My bandages? Cause if you wanna have my bandages, I won't stop ya, but they aren't very comfortable, and-

MUCHACHA: That THING, that thing Havik gave you, that strange device, what was that?

JAY: I don't have any device in my satchel.

MUCHACHA: Well if you have nothing to hide, then you won't mind if I look?

Jay started to sweat a bit, but kept a cool head.

JAY: Of course not.

Muchacha would start going through her satchel, searching through its contents. To her surprise, she found nothing, just some medicine, an amethyst sword and some bandages. The general was a bit puzzled, and backed away from the adventurer.

MUCHACHA: I.. I could've sworn there was something in there.

Jay shrugged, looking down at Muchacha.

JAY: What'd I tell ya? Now if you could be so kind as to give that back to me, that would be ideal?

Muchacha looked up at them, holding the satchel away from Jay.

MUCHACHA: Hold on, I want to ask something else.

Jay, now a bit angry, would sigh, and cross their arms.

JAY: Fine, one more question, and you'll let me kindly fuck off.

Muchacha would stand there, thinking about it for a few seconds.

MUCHACHA: You know who Havik is, don't you? And why you're friends with him.

JAY: Your point being? 

MUCHACHA: I'll let you "kindly fuck off" if you tell me why.

Jay, looking away from Muchacha, sighed once more, and turned back with a sigh.

JAY: I was lost, okay? My survival skills could only get me so far. He is the reason why I'm still breathing, and frankly, if I had to choose between the world and him, I would choose him every time. Now if you excuse me, I'm leaving.

Muchacha would listen to what Jay said, and would then give them their satchel.

MUCHACHA: Right. I am sorry to bother you. I am Muchacha, by the way.

Jay turns back, giving a salute with their middle and index finger.

JAY: Jay. Pleasure is all yours.

They said as they disappeared into the crowd. As Jay walks away, they pull on the collar of their cape, revealing the device Havik gave them. As night fell, the street band of outworld played a relaxed toon, as the crowd in the market place calmed down. Muchacha is sitting on some steps while looking depressed and tired. Then, a man in a black cloak with a deep voice approached her.

???: Hey–

Startled, she punched the figure in the nose, and as he fell on the floor, it was revealed to be Sabbia with a now bloody nose.

SABBIA: AGH! My sodding snout! 

Muchacha quickly got up, and helped the saurian up.

MUCHACHA: Oh gods, Sabbia, I'm so sorry, I thought you were someone else.

SABBIA: Nah... it's my fault.... I shouldn't have snuck up on you while you were sulkin'.

He said, as he wiped the blood off of his nose.

SABBIA: Speakin' of which, why you sulkin'? Is this about Robin? Or your past trauma? Or Erron? Or--

MUCHACHA: I'll tell you when we get somewhere less public.

She said, looking at the ground and her hand out in-front of him. The two walked off, and the music got quieter. The two finally stopped walking, as the two sat down on a bench and looked up at the sky. Muchacha would sit, looking up at the stars, while Sabbia would lean back, and put his arms behind his head.

SABBIA: Speak to me, gorgeous.

Muchacha would hear the saurian say, and would look back at him.

MUCHACHA: There is this person, their name is Jay, and... I followed them because I suspected that they were conspiring against Kitana.

SABBIA: Is that so? And how was that not worth a full report?

Muchacha would look away from him, and sigh.

MUCHACHA: It turns out they're aren’t a criminal, they're a good person, and Havik is someone close to them.

SABBIA: I see... and you think they're plannin' something diabolical just because…they were together? 

Muchacha would look down.

MUCHACHA: The two seem to be close, and Jay was given something by Havik.

Sabbia would nod, and pat her on the back.

SABBIA: If you're so worried, why not follow them and see if they're up to somethin' off?

MUCHACHA: That's the thing, I tried! But when I investigated Jay, they didn't have anything with them. Just a sword and other stuff that didn't look anything like what Havik had in his hand. And I can't wrap my head around it because I'm scared that they might assassinate or endanger the royal family, and, and--

Sabbia put his hand on the general's shoulder, trying to calm her with his body language.

SABBIA: Kitana, Mileena and Rain will be fine, trust me... Listen, have you ever heard the sound of one hand clapping?

Muchacha put on a confused expression.

MUCHACHA: How does this correlate?

SABBIA: Yes or no?

MUCHACHA: ... Well, no, I don't think I--

Sabbia slapped Muchacha across the face, making her flinch. There's a bit of silence for a whole second.

MUCHACHA: WHAT THE DEVIL WAS THAT FOR?!

SABBIA: For one, that was for my face earlier. And for another, that's for being overly hysterical.

Muchacha would stand up and rub her cheek.

MUCHACHA: Hysterical?! Excuse me for caring about the well-being of my Kahn!

Sabbia would chuckle, and put his hand out to Muchacha, asking her to sit back down. 

SABBIA: I have no problem with you caring for people important to you, but it's another thing overthinkin' about them. And that's why I hit you. You overthink everything.

Muchacha would rub her cheek again, and slowly sit down.

MUCHACHA: I can't help it.

SABBIA: Why? What's the harm in not worrying? Well, actually, let me rephrase... What's the harm in not worrying so much?

Muchacha would put her hand to her forehead, and look down.

MUCHACHA: Because, every single time I don't worry, something terrible happens.

Sabbia would listen to the general, and would then look at her.

SABBIA: Y'know, sometimes in life, shite happens, but that doesn't mean it will keep happening.

MUCHACHA: But... but I just feel like the next bad thing is going to happen again, and--

Sabbia would then stand up, and hold her shoulders.

SABBIA: Hey. Look at me, okay? You don't have to be a worrywart, cause that's just gonna hurt you in the end. The more you overthink, the more you'll be overwhelmed. Believe it or not, I used to be a lot like you, constantly worrying about Astraia's well-being, and the day I got possessed by that mage Xandras, that was when I overthought too much. He made me do shit I weren't proud of. Made me hurt others, steal from others... I was so scared that he made me do something to my sister, but she was fine. It was when I met you, Robin and that blood-bending boy, is when I stopped overthinkin'. So take my word for it, don't overthink anything, keep a cool head, kick some proper ass, and be an absolute queen.

Muchacha listened to the saurian talk, and smiled, standing up and holding her arm.

MUCHACHA: Thanks Sabbia. You're really are a good friend.

SABBIA: Glad to be of assistance. Need a complementary hug?

MUCHACHA: I would love one

Muchacha opened her arms, and the two would hug for a short while. Sabbia would pat her back and let go.

SABBIA: Alright, now get some rest, you've have a long day ahead of ya.

MUCHACHA: Yeah, same to you.

The two would go their separate ways, and the music would become more clear. Muchacha would walk back home, and enter, closing the door. The next morning, Muchacha went to the front gate, waiting for something to happen. It was almost noon, so she took a deep breath and walked into the palace where she was greeted by Kitana’s voice.

KITANA: Ah, Muchacha, welcome back. Are you feeling any better?

MUCHACHA: Indeed, your highness. I just need to speak to you real quick.

The emperor stood, and walked closer to the general.

MUCHACHA: Your highness, can you go behind that door on the right over there? There's nothing to worry about, I have everything under control.

The emperor nodded and left. As soon as she left, she spotted Jay with the device at the window.

JAY: Oh, hey. What're you doing here? How are you--

MUCHACHA: Jay, co-worker of Havik, you are under arrest.

She said, as she drew her sword. Jay looked at her from the window and tossed the device down at her, which Muchacha grabbed and tossed right back at Jay.

JAY: Uh... ten second head start?

Muchacha grinned her teeth, and the adventurer would run out the window. Muchacha followed them shortly after, running towards the market, which was a maze, so it was perfect for a chase scene. Muchacha running along the ground as she chased Jay, who was running jumping across the rooftops. Muchacha, while running caught attention of the street band.

MUCHACHA: You five, play double time...

The band, without any hesitation, plays more intense and fast, as the general climbs up some geometry of the buildings and reaches the roof. Jay looks back at this and slowly removes their glasses, but quickly puts them back on as Muchacha started charging at them. As the two ran, Jay would trip and fall, with the general approaching and pointing her sword at the adventurer.

MUCHACHA: Give it up, I caught you. You have no other option.

JAY: You're right, you caught me. Unless...

Jay said, taking a beeping device out from her cape.

JAY: ...I take us both ou--!

Before she could finish, Muchacha took device and tossed is as high and far as possible, and it blew up like fireworks, catching the attention of the crowd and the Kahn. The people looked at the general, as Muchacha would turn to the crowd.

MUCHACHA: IT WAS NOTHING! JUST A BIT OF FIREWORKS, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!

The people would then stop talking and continue with their business. Muchacha would walk over to the adventurer, and pick them up by the collar.

MUCHACHA: Now, what to do with you, for almost giving the Kahn third degree burns?

JAY: Well, you got options, I suppose.

Muchacha looked at Jay, and would pick her sword back up.

MUCHACHA: Don't think I'll be so merciful.

Sabbia would then run into the street, and his and Muchacha's eyes would meet. The saurian would look at her with a bit of distress. And with it, the general had a bit of overthinking, but ultimately, she tossed her sword into the air, releasing of Jay's cape and catching the sword with her other hand, sheathing it. Jay looked a little confused and very distressed at this. They opened their mouth but couldn't form words.

MUCHACHA: If you're wondering why I didn't lodge my sword into your skull, is because really, I really just don't care anymore. I'm just not going to bother, because really, why should I? You're not a threat, and the worst thing you've done is attempt to scar my Kahn. That and you genuinely seem like a nice person. 

JAY: Uh... thanks?

MUCHACHA: But mark my words, if you pull a stunt like this again, I will make your life a living hell.

Jay would smile a bit and nod.

JAY: Sounds fair enough. See ya.

Said Jay, as they jumped down and disappeared. The general would then hop down to Sabbia, who looked at her and put his hand on her shoulder.

SABBIA: Well well well, aren't you generous today? Not killing that person is quite rare for you. 

MUCHACHA: Shut it. Where's Astraia? I'm sure she must be worried sick.

Sabbia would look behind at Astraia who is having a sip on a bench, and then back.

SABBIA: Nah, not really. just enjoyin' her life. So what was that? The explosion and all that? Some kinda fireworks or somethin'?

Muchacha would listen to the saurian, and would think about it.

MUCHACHA: You know what? It's gone now, so who cares?

Sabbia would giggle under his breath.

SABBIA: You've been takin' my advice, finally.

Muchacha would look away from him, and at a group of kids playing nearby.

MUCHACHA: Don't take that personally, I just don't want to think about it, since it's a thing of the past.

SABBIA: I swear, if I weren't the man I was, I'd kiss ya right now.

Muchacha would listen to what Sabbia said and turned around, with a bit of a smile.

MUCHACHA: *AHEM* ANYWAYS! I should get back to work. And You need to get back to your sister. Make sure no one bothers her.

SABBIA: Yes, ma'am.

Said the saurian as he left and joined his sister, and the general went to the palace. Muchacha would enter the palace throne room and greet Kitana with a bow.

KITANA: General Amara.

MUCHACHA: Kitana Kahn.

KITANA: Stand up.

Muchacha, a little confused, stands up.

KITANA: I must say that I am sorry for having that outburst on you, from that mission with Red Robin.

MUCHACHA: O-oh, uh, you don’t have to apologize for anything, your highness. I was at fault for letting the blood bender get away.

Kitana then gets off the throne, and walks over to Muchacha.

KITANA: I was mad, yes, but today you saved not only my life, but many others, too. I am forever greatful, Muchacha.

Muchacha gasps a bit, before puting on a bit smile on her pretty lil’ face.

MUCHACHA: Thank you, my Kahn.

Kitana smiled as she looked away.

KITANA: You’re free to go now.

Muchacha nodded, as she walked out of the palace, encountering Sabbia and Astraia. 

MUCHACHA: Sabbia, Astraia. Fancy seeing you here. What are you doing? 

SABBIA: Just passin' by. I gotta tell you I'm proud of ya, you're finally learnin' to take it easy. 

The young saurian ran in front of the general, fully confident and all.

ASTRAIA: I gotta say, ma'am, I'm a huge fan and you're a massive inspiration to me. I can't wait to get in the royal guard and be just like you. 

Muchacha was a bit surprised, and put her hands together. 

MUCHACHA: Thank you both. Your compliments mean the world to me. I'll see you two later, we can meet during the weekend. 

As she said, she would walk off and disappear into the crowd. Sabbia looked at Astraia, and patted her head.

SABBIA: You never said you we're a fangirl of her's.

Astraia would turn to her brother, looking like an angry muppet.

ASTRAIA: That a problem, bruv?

Sabbia giggled, and shook his head. Muchacha would walk to the market, where the street band played a calm tune, and the crowd was a little more peaceful. The general would sit and watch, thinking about what happened and what was happening. She would remember what Sabbia told her, telling her to let go of small inconveniences and just live in the moment. So, she did. For the first time in a while, she was able to relax, and not overthink about what could happen, or what already did. She was finally able to enjoy her surroundings.

Shang Tsung's Taxes

Quan-Chi: A hundred thirty-seven million? Shang Tsung: Yes! And if I don't pay up I'll go to jail for tax evasion! Shang Tsung: I'm crazy enough to take on Liu Kang & his allies, but the the IRS *shudders* No thank you!

[cringefailgirlfriendjohnnycage]

new au dropped

It's another outworld au because of course... a little bit less thought out than realmswap

So uhh Tarkatan Johnny and Outworld Cryomancer Sonya

[mintspider]

Sorry ya'll but this beast needs feeding!

Enjoy a shitty Tigue/Reiko edit in the meantime.

[unnecessarybeltbuckles]

I love Shang Tsung x Fujin in the context of the early days, where Shang Tsung is Raiden and Fujin's prized student fighting for Earthrealm, and Fujin is head-over-heels for this brilliant, fiery mortal. Then Raiden gets to watch his brother's heart shatter with Tsung's devastating betrayal and it's a whole messy ordeal between them for centuries.

Hanzo Hasashi WILL appear, but not as Scorpion, obviously, but also not as a young child either.

I feel like I should add these:

1995: Takeda Takahashi is born. 2003: Suchin (46) is murdered; Takeda (8) is brought to the Shirai Ryu by Kenshi (44)

Suchin's Backstory In My AU

Warning: Non-Graphic Addiction and Suicide

Suchin was the only child of a civilian mother and a former criminal father. When she was eight, her mother died in a car accident, causing her father to fall into a depression and relapse into his gambling addiction, taking out several loans from his old employer in the Red Dragon to support it. He lost his job within the year and started drinking, leaving Suchin to take care of him more often than not. He also fell back into old paranoid habits and took to training Suchin in case they went after her first.

Struggling with money, Suchin got a job at a local restaurant at fourteen, where she flourished socially. She even got a boyfriend at seventeen. Due to her always being away from home, she failed to notice her father spiraling further until he raided her savings when she was eighteen. She started to take more hours to build them back up, neglecting her relationships to do so. Because of this, her boyfriend broke up with her.

At nineteen, she came home to find her dad committed suicide. Upon reading the note, she learned all the debts had come to a head, and the Red Dragon was pursuing payment. The trauma of it finally breaking the barrier in her mind to fully activate her “radar” (see notes for explanation) that had been on and off her entire childhood.

Inheriting her father’s debt, Suchin fled and became a traveling vigilante known as Blackbird on a personal mission to destroy the Red Dragon and return to civilian life. She quickly became a notorious figure in Asia’s underworld for her efficiency and only took paid jobs to support her survival.

She swore off personal relationships and dedicated her life to completing her goal, investigating any lead on the Red Dragon she found. One of these investigations led her to Japan, where she met Kenshi for the first time.

And nearly killed him.

Notes:

Suchin’s radar is a danger sense ability she feels, not sees or hears. Despite it being a form of precognition, she can’t tell what is and isn’t a danger and has to identify them herself. She can’t turn it off and it works best when she’s calm and collected. The only time it doesn’t work is when she’s panicking, as it becomes hard to read and quickly overloads her senses and rational thoughts. It can also blank out when she doesn’t know how to process something, often freezing her in place. Because of it, she lives in a constant state of flight or fight and suffers from severe anxiety and paranoia, which is only made worse by her lifestyle.

Suchin’s father wasn’t physically abusive, only laying hands on her during training, even helping her patch any injuries before his addictions fully tanked his psyche. The majority of the trauma Suchin has from her father is from neglect, parentification, and the fallout of his suicide.

The timeline of these events are: 1957: Suchin is born 1965: Suchin’s mother dies in a car accident and her father relapses, taking out loans from the Red Dragon 1976: Suchin’s Father commits suicide, transferring his debt to Suchin (19); Suchin flees from the Red Dragon and eventually becomes Blackbird 1987: Kenshi (28) and Suchin (30) meet
