MK1 Nitara Rewritten

Maybe nsfw? Ah fuck it

I dislike MK1's Nitara, and if you're reading this, you probably do too. From her role in the story being kinda useless her design being boring as hell and Megan fucking Fox, she had big shoes to fill and her feet were just too small.

Please forget I ever said that

Point I'm trying to make is, Nitara in this game is probably the worst she's ever been in any MK media and I want to do her justice that Netherrealm Studios didn't.

Visual character design

When a character is shown on screen, the first thing people take notice of is their design. Nitara's original design was very edgy 2000s vampire lady vibes and I fuckin dig that. She was straight up a drag queen in Deadly Alliance to Armageddon

Nitara's design in MK1 is a complete and utter clusterfuck. What is this Purple dress with red accents? And don't get me started on the hair. She looks like a fucking onion or a dumpling, for crying out loud.

So instead of this complete dumpster fire, I propose a different take on her design, which could be more aligned with her original character, being a vampire and making a bit more sense with why she's working with Quan Chi.

This design I cooked up is not the greatest, and is heavenly inspired by the design that oni18064 made

The reason why I went with a pirate vampire (vampirate for short) aesthetic is because the second thing that caught my attention with Nitara in this game

Characterization

The way Nitara's written in this game is like she's a kid trying to act serious to a group of adults who try not to laugh. Her race of Vaeternian's (who may I add, deliberately made themselves into vampires) is dying out and she needs to kidnap inhabitants of other realms to breed with them. Not to eat them (maybe), but to have unconsentially fuck them to keep their race alive, and she wanted to start with Kung Lao of all people (woohoo, someone's otp mentioned!). She eventually encounters Quan Chi who does some black magic fuckery and makes her immune to sunlight and tricks her into working for him.

Other than the Quan Chi part being kinda cool, everything else a bit shit tho, innit?

How I would have done Nitara is similar to how they treated Ashrah in this game. Keeping elements of her original origin story while adding some extra elements. Nitara would have been sent to Outworld with her very own crew, provided by the vaeternus council to find a sacred jewel that could probably help Vaeternian's escape the shadows. She would sail off to Outworld, losing her crew one by one, each by worse and worse deaths. From being vaporized to eaten alive, she was the last of her crew to still live, and also found the jewel she was looking for. By the time she did find it though, her whole crew was dead. Some evaporated by the sun, some eaten alive by Tarkatans, and some just got stabbed and slashed to death by Ashrah and her kriss. It was later on a day where she met Quan Chi, who told her that he can help her escape the shadows and walk in the sun, only if she hands him the jewel. Nitara, with nothing left to lose, takes his hand and make her sunlight proof. Nitara and Quan Chi went from realm to realm to find the last few members of Quan Chi's ragtag jobbers from Ashrah's chapter and hilarity ensues.

Voice acting

We've all been there. We've all had our own rock bottom, and I think this game might be famous actress Megan Fox's rock bottom. I've seen a few movies Megan has been in, and she was pretty decent. What I interpret is either Megan didn't give a shit or NRS didn't give a shit and just told her to "read between the lines".

If I were to cast a voice for Nitara, it would either be Emma Thompson, who I personally know as captain Amelia from Treasure Planet

Or maybe even Erica Lindbeck, who was Cassie in MK11 and like a million other things

importance

Main story wise, Nitara will still be a side character, but she will be quite an important element in Ashrah's part of the story, seeing as these two had somewhat of an on-sight rivalry in the midway games. Nitara will still be helping Quan Chi and his jobber squad but she wouldn't instantly fight Ashrah... Once--

Okay but hear me out, Nitara would fight Ashrah once in the first fight (like vanilla MK1) and after that, she would use her blood magic to heal her wounds, she would fight instead of Quan Chi, who has escaped and Havik is now her kameo. As Ashrah's approaching Quan Chi to go in for the kill, she's kicked to the side by Nitara who says something like "I am not finished with you, you wannabe angel." After which they start fighting. Nitara gets a slight Power buff and gets beaten anyways. Later when she fights the linguine Lin Kuei along with the jobber squad. After that, she becomes completely useless to the plot of the main story AND Khaos Reigns.

Arcade mode ending

Nitara's ending would probably consist of her returning to Vaeternus empty-handed, making her employers furious, much like in her actual ending. But only the first half.

"That trip to Earthrealm was a complete disaster. My whole team is dead, I was bested three times and worst of all, I lost the gem I needed for my employers. Once I returned, they were pissed, to say the least. Not only throwing me in jail, but after that promoted me to death row. Not long after, when my day has come, I broke out, only to see hundreds of dead Vaeternians in the streets, and once I inspected the bodies and was shocked to see the same kind of slash marks I had when I fought... Her. That demoness is killing my kind for her own damned salvation. And what now? I do what I can to kill that Ashrah, even if it means playing both sides of the war."

I mean, if you're gonna make Ashrah the same she's been in every instalment she's been in but add new shit to make her less outdated, you might as well do the same for Nitara, her nemesis, her rival. Since every character in this game has a reason for what they're doing, like how Reiko and Shao tame Onaga because they're tired of jobbing to everyone or how Kuai Liang Scorpion started the Shirai Ryu because he has a crush on Harumi (now that I say it out loud it's kinda dumb but you can't have a good game without a little dumbassery).

Conclusion

In conclusion, Nitara is a character who has the base of something great but is wasted on this game's mid writing. Hope this helps any sad and desperate Nitara fans. Your welcome and have this as your free therapy session.

Tl;Dr: MK1 Nitara sucks, I am make her cool

The Redbridge Hunts, Chapter 29

‘Come on, Loki. I think it’s a great idea.’ Claire pleaded with Loki over breakfast, they were both sat at Loki’s dining table opposite one another, before going to work together.

‘Not a great idea. It would be utter chaos.’ Loki said with a laugh as he shook his head.

‘It’s Bat we’re speaking about here. The students will love her. I’m sure her calming presence will help calm them all and take their mind off what went on. Just since it’s their first day back?’ Claire said sweetly and fluttered her eyelashes at Loki.

Loki pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. ‘I’d be lying if I said it hadn’t crossed my mind before.’

‘There you go. It’s a good idea.’ Claire grinned.

‘Alright. But you’re going to be her designated slave for the day, to keep an eye on her and keep her out of trouble.’

‘Deal. I’m her slave anyway.’ Claire winked at Loki.

After breakfast, they both grabbed their bags and put on their jackets. It was as if Bat knew what the plan for the day was, as instead of just staying on the sofa and having them go say goodbye to her, she sat at the door waiting for them.

‘It’s like she knows she’s coming with us.’ Claire said as they both stared at Bat, who was staring back at them expectantly.

‘I think she does.’ Loki chuckled.

Claire scooped her up into her arms and they headed out to Loki’s car. She was perfectly happy on the drive there, just sat on Claire’s lap and looked out the window at the passing scenery. Loki had made a point when she was a kitten to take her out and about, to visit various people so she would get used to the car and different places in-case there was ever an emergency.

‘I hope this isn’t a bad idea.’ Loki chuckled as they pulled into the car park at the school.

‘She’s a very chilled out cat. What could go wrong?’ Claire asked as she stroked Bat.

-

When they got to the school, they headed straight for the teachers lounge. They were early, wanting to catch up with everyone before starting classes. Bat was quite happy just perching on Claire's shoulder, looking around at her surroundings.

‘Have you had her here before?’ Claire asked Loki.

‘I have a few times, when we’ve had days just the teachers come in to mark work and tests. She’s good company.’ Loki admitted sheepishly, making Claire grin.

They got to the teachers lounge, Severus, Matt, David and Chris were all in there already.

‘You brought Bat!’ Matt said in delight as he swooped in and Bat jumped into his arms for cuddles.

Loki chuckled. ‘We did. Thought it might help the students a little today.’

‘And us.’ Claire added with a smile.

Bat made her way around everyone, getting lots of fusses and cuddles. She was in constant purr mode, in her element. Jessica and Hannibal were soon to arrive, too. Their faces lit up when they spotted Bat.

She made her way onto Severus’ lap and snuggled against him. He slowly stroked her while everyone conversed about further plans.

‘Do we have any defence plans?’ Jessica asked.

‘I’ve organised a few vampires to take turns flying overhead during the school day, to keep an eye out and report to me if there’s anything suspicious. We need to reiterate to the students to come to us straight away if they themselves see anything wrong. Even if they think it’s silly.’ Chris said and everyone nodded in agreement.

Bat jumped down from Severus’ lap to go find another victim, Severus whipped out a lint roller from his pocket and instantly began rolling his clothes, removing all of the cat hair.

Everyone looked at him with raised eyebrows. He slowly looked up as he felt eyes on him. ‘What? I live with a crazy cat lady.’ He shrugged at them before continuing rolling his clothes.

‘Anyway… As I was saying, there’s nothing too small to come to me about if anyone is worried. Same goes for the students. I think we are safe enough, we took out most of the hunters. It never hurts to be constantly aware, though.’

Everyone agreed with Chris again, then they all dispersed a bit into smaller groups to talk and make coffee or tea. When Michael arrived, they stopped any vampire talk, of course.

Loki and Claire were speaking with Hannibal, though Claire looked over at Chris who was making tea. Bat jumped up on the counter next to him and meowed at him. At first, Claire thought he was going to ignore her, but then he gave her a scratch under the chin and she saw him saying something to her. Bat chirped in response, like she often did.

Claire could tell that the events just under two weeks ago had shaken Chris up too. Even though he acted scary and like he didn’t care, it seemed that he did deep down. She made her way over to him, to get her and Loki tea.

‘Are you ok?’ She asked Chris.

He looked surprised at her question as he turned to face her. ‘Yes, of course. Why wouldn’t I be?’ He asked, his tone clipped.

‘I was just asking… I’ve been asking everyone.’ Claire shrugged.

Chris frowned. ‘No one usually cares if I’m ok anyway.’ He huffed and turned back to stirring his coffee.

‘Bat does.’ Claire smiled.

Chris raised an eyebrow at her then looked at Bat, who was still looking at him and let out another meow.

‘She’s just after attention.’ He said as he reached out and gave her a few more strokes.

‘Well… I just hope you’re not beating yourself up over what happened to Jeremy. I know it’s a big loss to everyone, but you did everything you could.’ Claire said softly, then she grabbed hers and Loki’s coffee and went back over to him, just earning a quizzical look from Chris.

Loki had zoned in on their conversation, so heard what she said to him. He knew she was bang on about Chris beating himself up about Jeremy.

‘You always seem to tell what people are really feeling… I’m starting to think you’re a vampire too.’ Loki said to Claire with a slight smirk when she returned to his side.

Claire smiled with a shrug. ‘I can just read people reasonably well I think.’

Loki kissed the top of her head with a smile.

When it was time for students to start arriving, Loki and Claire took Bat to Loki’s classroom. As students began arriving, everyone was smitten with Bat. And she just loved all of the attention from everyone.

Though when Loki began trying to teach, a little while into the period, Bat decided to be a bit mischievous.

She waited until Loki was at the board, explaining things he had displayed on it. Bat jumped off a students lap that she had been snuggled on, and went to Loki’s desk. She jumped up and began knocking things off.

‘Bat!’ Loki scolded when he turned around upon hearing students laughing.

Bat paused and looked at Loki, with her paw outstretched, mid-way to knocking his cup of tea off.

‘Don’t!’ Loki said and began slowly walking towards her.

If Bat could smirk, she definitely would have, as she finished her task and knocked his cup flying off the desk.

Claire couldn’t hide her amusement either, as she and the students laughed. Loki shook his head in dismay as he grabbed paper towels to clean up the spilled tea. Claire grabbed Bat and took her onto her lap at the side of the room.

Though Bat didn’t stay there for long.

She wound her way through the desks of the students, purring about their legs and sniffing at everyone’s schoolbags, until she found one that was open and helped herself to the girl’s lunch, a ham sandwich.

‘Oh no!’ Claire ran to grab Bat again while Loki pinched the bridge of his nose. Thankfully the girl was amused and didn’t mind, but Claire said she would give her money to get a replacement lunch.

Claire managed to keep Bat out of trouble for the rest of the day. She spent the lunch break with all the teachers in the lounge and was quite content snoozing on the sofa.

‘While she has been a little bit mischievous, it has been good having Bat here today. The students certainly looked to brighten up and relax when they saw her.’ Loki said as he watched his cat, snoozing peacefully.

‘She’s good therapy. She has a very calming aura about her.’ Claire said as she ate her chicken noodle soup. ‘I can’t believe she stole poor Tara’s lunch though.’ She cringed.

‘I can. She just thinks about her stomach after all.’ Loki chuckled.

‘I can relate.’ Claire laughed.

-

The teachers were all glad that the students seemed to get back into the swing of it all within the first week back. There wasn’t any disruptions from anyone, apart from most of Loki’s students asking him and Claire after Bat every day, but they didn’t mind. Claire shared with them any pictures she would take of the popular feline.

The month that followed got easier too with every day that passed by. Chris managed to get a substitute teacher in to take over Jeremy’s classes until they found a proper replacement.

One Friday evening, Chris was the last one to leave school, having had lots of paper work to get through. As he made his way around the building towards the car park, he spotted an unknown male snooping around the main front doors, trying to peek in the windows after trying the door handle.

Chris gritted his teeth and felt rage build up within him.

‘Not again.’ He growled and stalked across the grounds towards him.

‘What do you want?’ Chris snarled at him, though as he got close enough, he realised that this guy wasn’t a hunter.

The man jumped out of his skin, he turned around and his eyes widened as the tall and intimidating vampire approached him, and didn’t stop until he was towering over him.

‘I’m looking for Claire Mason, I believe she works here?’

Chris paused, slightly caught off guard as he hadn’t been expecting that. He raised an eyebrow as he looked the man over and noticed a wedding ring on his finger.

‘You best come inside.’

-

Claire was at Loki’s place, waiting for him to come back. He’d gone round to his dad’s when they finished work, but told her he wouldn’t be too long.

She was just lounging around with Bat when she received a text message through from Chris, who was the last person she would expect to get a message from. She didn’t even realise he had her number, though she quickly figured he’d have everyone’s contact details since he was the head.

As she opened the text though, her stomach dropped.

You better come and explain yourself. I’ll be waiting.

Along with the text there was a picture attached, it was of a man that had been shoved into the cupboard of Chris’ office at the school. The man was dead, there was a big chunk of his neck ripped out. Claire tried not to gag as she leapt off the sofa and ran to grab her jacket.

‘Shit, shit, shit. This can’t be happening.’
