#shangs island redesign idea

[arttrampbelle]

Shang tsung island redesign idea. Look it can be spooky without it being unlivable. Like shang tsung isn't a man to live in squander. Fr. Nrs what tf were you thinking? Even if nobody's lived there in a while. It's kinda mystical. So I'd imagine it to ya know be pretty even if its "overgrown" with nature.

Like its a fucking tropical paradise.

Like come on!

So shangs island should always be beautiful even the more "questionable" parts of his island. Goros lair should ve more expansive and fitting for a shokan prince.

His throne room should be big and lavish. Reds n golds. Dragon motifs. Serpentine carvings. Etc.

His island main keep and main palace where he lives should be the center of the island. And the designated "kombat zones/arenas" should be various places,but should look like actual tournament style arenas. The main big one should be in his throne room. Where a tournament starts and then ends.

Any prison or dungeon areas are accessible only to shang tsung and his loyalists/cult members.

Shrines are seen throughout the island. Some small. And the main temple is located on a smaller island offshore of the main island. His island from aerial view looks like a yin yang symbol,i hc shang is a taoist. It makes sense. Balance,life n death,pain and healing,suffering and then enlightenment. The neverr ending cycle of things, That whole thing.

His island should change slightly every so often as some kind of euclidean horor or force. As it is a pocket in between realms and a neutral point. Thats why it was chosen for mortal kombat tournaments. However the main palace never changes,anything within the living quarters,and his personal courtyard should never change. As it is a symbol to him he is eternal,that and shang doesn't wanna waste magic resources.

Shangs bedroom,is lavish af. Hella lavish.

Surprisingly,his bathrooms and kitchen is more modernish. Compared to everything else. Hey look,he's not the kind of man to not keep up with the times somewhat. Like he's old but come on man. Shang is a master of making people at ease before showing his truest self,what that is is up to how close you are and how trusting your relationship is

I could go on. But y'all get the idea.

New hc and idea.

Shang tsung's island home can shapeshift the landscape. It can change rooms,designs,aesthetic,etc.

It can go from looking like death ruins to absolutely breathtaking. To almost berrian to flourishing with life. All his servents? Clones of dead servants. Mindless drones that bend to every whim of his. Most of them were former of the shaolin order. Some guards are shokan. Mostly the ones to the islands entrance. Goro is shangs former champion and personal bodyguard. Kintaro is mine. (I hc he resurrected them and gained slight favor back. Thats why sheeva allowed them to stay with him so as long as he adhereds to the agreement that they will no longer participate in any futher schemes and offical tournaments,minor ones permitted within reason and only to protect and serve him and his wife(me))

But the main palace,where he lives stays the same,for both convenience and so he has control,it always is in the center of the island,tho the living quarters for us are of the east side of the main keep,with a full view of the sunrise. The courtyards,training area,tournament area,gardens,even the entrance to goros lair and the caverns changes. You can't find them in the same place twice.

He placed this spell and magic on his island keep because he wanted to make it harder for treasure hunters, assassins and robbers to raid his islands wealth. Fr they keep destroying his fine vases. Ugh. Lol

Also i wanna actually redesign the whole island. To make it look like an actual place to live. Instead of just a place with easter eggs like in the games. Because they use this island in lore as shangs home basically but they never actually make it look livable. Which is dumb to me.

So I'm making it livable.
