#they (any of the three) dont have anything to do with the larger mk plot. i like to think they met one or two kharacters but otherwise

Wildcat and their silly Earthrealmer Boyfriend, Connor

So, my basic thought here is that sometimes random natural portals open between the realms and oops folks fall through sometimes. When Earthrealmers fall through, they usually don't survive (because Outworld and the Netherrealm are fucking death worlds) but if they do they can't usually return home to a normal life. Outworld changes you man.

However, sometimes you, like Connor, are a Lucky Son Of A Bitch and get chosen by a weird mean cat person and you don't have to do terrible things to live in Outworld

Wildcat found him passed out in the desert and, with Nyra's help, nursed him back to health. They took an immediate liking to him, while he was honestly more concerned with the "WHAT THE FUCK" factor of Outworld

The trio does eventually find a way to send him home, but he decided against it. He likes traveling with them and it beats paying taxes
