I always thought of Sonya as a lieutenant in the US Army. While writing my fan fiction I found to be lacking in some info in regards to this character's military career. Was she a 1st Lieutenant, 2nd Lieutenant or Lieutenant Colonel in the early games? And what was her rank in the later (MK4-MK:DA) games?

I even check her bio from MK:DA but it didn't give her any rank but 'agent'. Her ending, which has proven false, had her being promoted to General. Skipping at least one rank or more. Same goes for MK4 bio...no mention of her rank. Any ideas what her rank was at the beginning of MK:DA?

Same goes for Jax. There is no mention of his rank in his bio of MK:DA. However, in his MK4 bio he was listed as a Major. (Mighty big jump from Sargent)

If I can assume that Jax is still a Major....then is Sonya is either Lt. Colonel or Colonel in MK:DA? Or is there something that I missed or forgotten? (Loaned out my MK games to a friend and have yet to get them back...*omnious clicking sound* but I will.)

I want to keep my fan fic as close to the characters canon histories as possible but still keep the story interesting. For example I'm bringing in Ret. Major Herman and Mrs. Erica Blade into the story. Let's just say the Major doesn't like Johnny too much....

I cant wait to read your Sonya fan fic! Sounds awesome.

As for the rank stuff, I honestly don’t know. My guess is that the “big jumpsâ€? you talk about were due because she was promoted because of her actions. Not everyday someone helps to save the world, so I guess being promoted from Lieutenant to General and head of her team is just a simple gift from her superiors.

The games don’t go any deeper then that. She is Lieutenant in all Mk games, in MKDAs ending she is General and leader.

Jax has always been Major.

Thanks...strange I though Jax was a sargent in MK2 and U/MK3...oh well. Since I had him start out with Sargent in my story, he and Sonya (Lt. to Colonel) gonna get a big jump in rank due to the creation of the OIA. With them being the only ones in the US Army with actual experience with other realms they kinda need the rank to be in charge.

As for the fanfic, its not center only on Sonya. It includes Rayden and other MK characters. Basically is kinda like a modern day version of MK: Conquest only with Liu Kany, Sonya and Johnny instead of Kung Lao, Taja, and Siro. And its already partially posted on fanfiction.net and my homepage. I post each chapter as I finish it. *hangs head down in shame* Been a while since I last updated, but almost finished with two more chapters now. If your interested the name of the story is Mortal Kombat: Echoes of the Past under the penname Raydiva.
