My headcanons for EVERY (I think) Mortal Kombat 1 character

— Liu Kang is a big fan of Chinese food, because well, in the previous timelines he was Chinese, so he constantly goes to Madam Bo's restaurant to eat.

— Johnny Cage is a great dramatic actor, but unfortunately, Hollywood studios always cast him as comedic characters or male characters who are himbos, wasting his potential as a dramatic actor.

— Kenshi met Suchin after saving her from being attacked by thugs in Tokyo, and the two's connection was almost instantaneous, with Suchin agreeing to run away with him after Kenshi left the Yakuza.

— Raiden has a huge crush on Kitana, and constantly draws pictures of the two of them kissing (he's a cartoonist btw)

— Kung Lao loves Chinese and South Korean comedy dramas, his favorite South Korean comedy drama is "True Beauty".

— Kuai Liang is extremely protective of Harumi, like, if Harumi gets a scar, he won't rest until the person who did it pays dearly. When he was dating Cyrax, he was also quite protective of her as well (He's not a sexist who thinks women are too defenseless to protect themselves, he just wants to keep Harumi safe because he loves her so much).

— Bi-Han trusts women more than men, thanks to the complicated relationship he had with his father and the loving relationship he had with his mother (thanks to his daddy issues, he doesn't trust masculine nature very much, even though he is also a man).

— Shang Tsung is not a "victim of Liu Kang's intrigues", this guy is a sociopath to the core!

— Tanya is not Mileena's first lover, she had a girlfriend as a teenager, the daughter of an archduke, but was forced to end the relationship because the archduke's daughter had to marry a man, breaking Mileena's heart.

— Kitana is a voracious reader, she loves books, especially about the history of the Earthrealm and Seido, her favorite historical figure of Earthrealm is Queen Mary Stuart, a queen of Scotland, reflecting the thinking of some outworlders who think that she should be empress in place of Mileena, just as some 16th-century English Catholics wanted Mary to be Queen of England in place of her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I.

— I don't usually do SMUT headcanons, but I like to think that Sindel and Jerrod had an active sex life, and she never married any man after Jerrod because she only liked to have sex with him, she herself was impressed that she only had the twins and not like, three more children!

— The souls within Ermac have been in the living forest for so long that over time they have become one big family.

— Quan Chi was a thief when he was young and was sentenced to work in the gold mines as a way of paying for his crimes, which is why he hates Sindel so much.

— Tanya was not given to the Umgadi when she was a child, she was actually stolen from her mother's arms like several other Umgadi (a bit cruel, but I wanted to make it similar to Marvel's black widows).

— Li Mei has always been in love with Sindel, but she never had the courage to express her feelings.

— Takeda is destined to meet and fall in love with Jacqui, even though in this timeline she is not Jax's daughter.

— Sektor is a lesbian and has a fraternal relationship with Bi-Han.

— Cyrax can speak several African languages, including Zulu and Arabic.

— I'm going to join @rasta-bot AU that Nitara is also a lesbian, there's a 19th century irish lesbian book called "Carmilla" that I really like, it's about a sapphic vampire, just like Nitara.

— Reiko was a mommy's boy, just like Bi-Han.

— Shao suffers from narcissistic personality disorder.

— Syzoth and Ashrah's love language is physical caresses, such as kisses on the forehead and cheek.

— Ashrah is pansexual (yes, another wlw woman, it's "Mortal sapphic Kombat" for me) she has always felt lonely, so she would like any romantic companionship, no matter the gender.

— Baraka prays to Delia every day that a cure for Tarkat will be discovered (this is actually canon btw).

— Slavery is (unfortunately) legal in Seido, and Havik was enslaved (also canon), so he is an anarchist.

— Tomas is a polyglot, he can speak Czech, Chinese, English and Japanese.

Swap (sorta) AU where Johnny saved Kenshi, which ended up with him getting bit by Mileena, inflicting him with Tarkat.

Mortal Kombat Deity! AU: The Demigods

Part One to introducing the characters of my Deity! AU is the demigods. Turns out they were a little easier to create the foundations for than I thought. I’m working on the gods’ foundations at the moment so hopefully they’ll be up soon too.

Raiden, the Lightning Rod.

His focus: an amulet gifted to him by Liu Kang.

Raiden is a member of a group called “Defenders of Earthrealm”, who task themselves with keeping threats to the mortal plane at bay at the request of the gods who patron them.

Soft spoken and diplomatic, he’d rather try to talk things out first before zapping them to a crisp with his electrical powers.

Kung Lao, the Shaolin Great

His focus: a sharp-edged hat he made himself.

Kung Lao joined the Defenders of Earthrealm at the same time as Raiden, wanting to live up to his family’s legacy as a clan of great fighters and guardians.

He makes and maintains his own equipment and weapons after an incident that involved an ill-made piece of equipment and a prank that went too far; he has a scar on his stomach from this that only Raiden has seen (he knows the story behind it, too).

Johnny Cage, the Walk of Famer

His focus: a pair of expensive sunglasses.

A tech whiz, Johnny supplies and maintains the Defenders’ technology; he gets the supplies through his connections in Hollywood, amongst other places.

He prefers to hide how intelligent he is by cracking bad jokes and innuendos to make him appear air-headed; he likes to draw in his opponents with his charms and then go for the uppercut.

Kenshi Takahashi, the Spirit Caller

His focus: a family sword called Sento.

After being blinded during his service to the Yakuza, Kenshi uses the power of his ancestors residing in Sento to move around a space and fight his enemies; Liu Kang’s demigod blessing amplified his power.

He claims that Johnny irritates him to no end, but he knows that without his noise Kenshi would likely have not joined the Defenders and remained with the Yakuza.

Mileena, the Firstborn Guardian

Her focus: her royal mask.

As the first-born daughter of the Goddess of Judgement and Protection, Sindel, Mileena has a condition called Tarkat which causes facial deformities and an uncontrollable urge to eat human flesh. (No one, not even the Eon, know why or how this occurs to the first-born children only.)

She is fiercely protective of her sister and girlfriend; she is the embodiment of Sindel’s guardian virtue as Empress of the mortal plane.

Kitana, the Royal Butterfly

Her focus: her dual fan weapons.

While she’s beautiful and she’s aware of it, Kitana isn’t afraid to get bloody to protect those she considers close to her - currently, that is only her family.

When she isn’t fighting, dealing with court politics or assisting Mileena with her daily duties, she can often be found by herself engrossed in a book (when they were children, she used to read to Mileena after her Tarkat episodes to help calm her down).

To talk more about the Mortal Kombat RE AU (Mortal Evil for short) my twin and I are working on, here's the basics I got down. (This is infecting my brain dude).

It will sort of be Johnshi centered as they're the catalyst of the story, but it's not the only ship. Taleena will be included as a parallel to them, which @yxnswife came up with. They both will meet tragic ends.

The OIA will be an umbrella rebrand, which Kenshi used to work for. This is inspired by Amara's idea for Kenshi to be a Mia parallel cause of both of them working for corrupt groups and my idea for Johnny to be kidnapped like Mia.

The OIA would've messed with tarkat and created what I call moldy tarkat in replacement of the mold from RE7

Cassie, Takeda, and Jacqui do exist here, with Cassie and Takeda being twins. Thank Amara for that, their brain in amazing. Also Johnny, Kenshi, Sonya, and Jax are a power polycule. Also Amara's idea.

Shang Tsung is the big bad, having been behind the moldy tarkat. It is created after he takes over the OIA

Kenshi, taking after Ethan, is infected. But unlike him, Kenshi dies as a mercy kill after he kills Johnny.

The characters that aren't the important characters and big bad of this AU are part of a small apocalypse commune group.

That's pretty much all the important basic info. If you want to know more, feel free to send a question. This AU is so exciting.
