jaybe you make some awesome points there. I think that a viking character would rock because its more original than some other ninja or something with a slightly different storyline. they could give him a storyline like he was left to die after a shipwreck and raiden (who would be alive becuase he is earths protector and a god)helped him to safety and told him to find certain teachers that could show him some martial arts that benifetted his type of combat (brutal and strong) and that he saved him becuase he was compatable with certain noris (whatever its called) powers of his people. after becoming accomplished in the martial arts that he needed from where he was he then went sailing to find other masters that could teach him more. then his ship (ships hate this guy i guess lol) went off course into a portal that had been openend by someone (unknown at the moment i guess, maybe the elder gods that can see into the future or something) and instead of a portal between realms it was a time portal that teleported him to our time. just my thoughts

See you can make up all kinds of storylines cause the Vikings ransacked and pillaged most of Eurasia including the Asian countries.

Thamuz Wrote: Well some things aren't even remotely related to Asian. Also, most things in the game aren't even mortal. Sure it might have been based on a bruce lee movie, but they had whites and blacks. This may be kinda off topic, but I saw soem Jean-Claude van Dam movie where a lot of the people were small asains that practiced martial arts, but then they had a big ass biker dude who mauled most of them till he got killed by the champion. I mean how the hell is a biker gonna fit in a martial arts competition, cause he can fight. .

ah yes... i believe that movie was kickboxer... there were several sequels to it... each progressively worse... let us forget it and never speak of it again... now Jean Claude Van Damme... he would be french wouldn't he?.. heh heh heh *sigh* good ol' Col. Guile... when's the last time he was in a movie? come to think of it, when's the last time any caucasian martial artist starred in a film? the matrix trilogy doesn't count

Just to add to the long list of "kind of characters"

-Princess
-Clones
-Queen
-Prince
-Soul-people
-Fallen gods

I want Vikings, a Feline, a Fairy and a Chef...
yes a chef named: Netherbelly-Chef

why not just take care of all those characters at once? lol

have a half-feline, half-fairy man who just happens to be a chef from hell

I shall call him... 'Netherbelly Chef' *does Dr. Evil pose*

What was that all about? lol

OK, I want to point something out. If there was a viking in MK, then he would be in Konquest. Now say this viking has a norweigen accent. How long will it be before people start killing themselves listening to him. No offense to Norweigen people.

SEE! a viking would be perfect! the voice would prompt people to commit Hari-Kari!! oh wait... you meant in real life... you're SICK man!

*sigh* but can't you just imagine the voice of (swedish dude from Woody Woodpecker, I can't remember the name) as a horny viking??

Well, some might like an accent, plus it all depends on how ;ong he would be in the game.
