Do You? I think we should. Besides Frost being one of the warriors and having the same ice moves as subzero, i think we should be introduced to new lin kuei warriors with new and unseen types of powers. Maybe this wont happen in MK6, but what about MK7? What to you think?
Also, what kind of elements and powers would you like to see the lin kuei warriors (ninjas) have?
I would like to see a Poison type ninja. I remember seeing a movie long time ago about ninjas that carry poison in there pockets, and would sprinkle it in people's faces to kill them. They also had these weird sticks which would brew out poisonous smoke. These type of ninjas were very slick, sneaky, and dangerous in the movie. They were mostly dressed in black, and had very dark purple and green in some areas. They looked wicked, i only wish i knew what the movie was still called.
Another element i would like to see is a "Earth" element. I think a ninja having this element would be awesome. We havnt seen a brown ninja yet, so this would be perfect. And before you say no more ninjas, let me say this, each ninja would look TOTALLY different and unique, just like ermac and noob does now. You guys ever heard of the game shinobi? Thats a great example, they have tons of awesome ninjas that look totally different.
Anyway, back to the earth element ninja. I would want this ninja to have powers of creating sandstorms, and causing blindness by shooting sands and such. He could also teleport, and disinigrate like sand, and then appear again. Another cool move would be to cause earthquakes, and shoot out mud chunks at the opponents face. For a fatality, he could sink his opponents into quick sand. This type of ninja would be all power, and kind of slow. As a matter a fact, this ninja should be a fat ninja, we dont have a fat ninja yet.
Another cool idea would be Water. I remember in the comics there was a lin kuei warrior named Hydro. He seemed pretty cool, they should get ideas off him and make a water type lin kuei ninja. BTW, are the lin kuei warriors only all men, or are there women to? Because it would r0x0rz to have a female warrior with her own moves.
A metal ninja full of armor would be cool to, and i would like to also see a ninja with magic powers.
I will post special moves, weapons, and fatality ideas later.
But what do you think of this? Please tell me your opinion, and also, feel absolutely free to give me your ideas on other elemental or special powered ninjas. I would love to hear your ideas on what you would want more ninjas to look like and what powers they would have. LEMME HEAR EM!!!!!

EDIT: Dont forget to post there weapons and such to. Fatalities, thoughts, everything.
The Earth type ninja is already in the realm of Mortal Kombat. The Ninja's name is Tremor and he was featured in the game Special Forces. Tremor was a clan member of the Black Dragon.
I like the idea of the poison ninja, I would like a move that would disinegrate a small amount of the opponents health while in the middle of fighting. That would increase the damage of combos for the character. I could see a poison Lin Kuei ninja in Deception, I'm 100% behind you for that idea.

Yeah I like that idea. I think we should get to know more about the Lin Kuei clan in Deception, and perhaps in MK7 these could be playable. But seeing as there will be 10 new characters, and we only know 2 of those so far, there might very well be a Lin Kuei among those!
I like the idea of the earth element ninja, but please, no fat ninja. Ninjas are supposed to be fast.

I love the idea of the poison ninja! That would be so cool! Bringing Tremor in as the Earth ninja would be great. however I think wind is best left alone as that is fujins trait. And thunder and lightning shouldn't be touched either as they are Raidens.
We don't really neeed another fire ninja. A water ninja such as Hydro would be cool.
How about a weather ninja? S/he could conjure hail stones that were really bombs. They could summon fog and msit to clud the enemies view and summon hurricanes or lighning bolts to blast the opponent.
Or maybe a forest ninja? Someone who can become as hard as wood and use that trait for power attcaks. They could someone the might of the forests and animals etc to do their bidding.

I agree about a fat ninja looking stupid. and i do not think a water ninja is that smart, since we have Sub-Zero, and ice is actually, cold water.
An earth ninja would be great, and so would a steel ninja.He/She could be like Magneto in the X-men. If Scorpion would get himself some more powers, he would be the fire ninja. A poison elemental would be cool to see, and specials and such would leave a hole lot of terrain to have fun with.

According to his story, Tremor was a Lin Kuei warrior who was aiding the Black Dragon. That's around the time when the Lin Kuei became corrupt. As for the Special Forces story...Special Forces had no story at all.
Anyway, in terms of Lin Kuei, remember that they aren't all masters of ice. That's only Sub-Zero and his family, which probably means that eventually they will go into the story angle that Frost is Sub-Zero's sister. The original story said that Sub-Zero's father came to America to find him, and I beleive his brother too(but i might be wrong on that). When he found the younger Sub-Zero and his mother, he discovered that he apparently had a daughter too.
Each Lin Kuei member has their own gift (look at Smoke), so yes, it would definitely be cool to see different ninjas wit different abilities. However, it would be adding yet another ninja into the game, which I know would bother alot of people. Regardless, it would be nice to see another Lin Kuei member enter the fray, if only to further the character and story development of Sub-Zero. Good idea.

It's true, there are at least 8 ninjas in Mortal Kombat, if you count the cyborgs that makes 11. But I do think that we need to see more of the Lin Kuei. I would like to see some more kunochis in the game, if not the Lin Kuei then maybe the Shinobi. As for the type of ninja I would like to see, check out my Hatsuma concept and you'll see. People who read his story liked it, and only one person ever said that he would over populate the ninja roster.

I came up with ideas for four Lin Kuei ninjas, and a couple of cyberninjas, but I'll just post the Lin Kuei ones:

Gender: Female
Relatives: Cinate
Debut: MKD
Name: Cinate
Element: Fire
Ability: Create fire, and unleash storms of it.
Gener: Male
Relatives: Ember
Debut: MK7
Name: Kast
Element: Spiritual/Wind
Ability: Creating illusions using his soul, and the air particles surrounding him.
Gener: Male
Relatives: Myste

I would also like to know more about the lin kuei people. No fat ninjas though, that is stupid. I've never actually seen tremor but i have heard of him. I don't like the idea of a person turning into a pile of sand and moving around. i don't like it in smoke either. I just like to think that he can emit and absord smoke rather than just turn into it. But anyway, the only lin kuei warriors we know of are, sub and frost with ice abilities, smoke with smoke abilites, and then theres cyrax and sektor who prolly don't have their own special powers anymore. And tremor too.
As for lin kuei turning corrupt around the time when tremor was working with black dragon, they were actually a band of assassins to begin with so the didn't turn corrupt they just were.
An the fourth gen sub zero lived in america as a cover for his true purpose. He had a wife, two sons and a daughter. The wife wanted a normal life and fled but the clan caught up with her and took the two sons away and the daughter and wife were never heard from again. I believe it is also customary that men are only allowed in the original lin kuei. Thats why they didn't take the daughter too. Even though it said in frosts or subs bio that it was unusual for grandmaster to train a person, it was also unusual for the clan to have women. But he changed the rules.

Right, I hadn't read the MKM mythos in a long time. Thanks for clearning that up.
But as for the Lin Kuei being corrupt...they weren't necessarily corrupt, so much as that they did evil things. But when they started the automating and dealing with outsiders is when the clan began to fall apart.

Thanks alot man, and thanks everyone for your awesome ideas. I was gonna reply sooner, but i had to go out for a while.
Tgrant, your ideas r0x0rz. A wheather ninja would be awesome, only if they dont give all wheather attacks to rain.
I was also thinking the exact same thing for a ninja of forest (nature). Turning into wood, using forestry attacks, bug stings, etc, would be awesome. I love the idea.
I do hope they make a water ninja, i also think that would be cool. Its a element thats not yet been covered.
I will post more ideas, but right now i'm dead tired.
BTW, where was it stated that tremor had earth powers? I never heard of this, someone tell me where this was said.

one thing im sick of is "elemental" ninjas.
there should be a Lin Kuei that uses a particular emotion or feeling to power them up. For example, one could use pain as a power. As they get beaten up more, the more powerful he becomes. So if he was nearly dead, he would be stronger than the opponent because of his power.

^Not a bad idea. But i like the elementals also.

the elementals are good and all, but variation in ninja powers is nice once in a while.
another example of the "emotion ninjas" is one who uses anger. he can get more powerful like the pain one, but also gets pissed by the opponent blocking and parring his attacks, and performing the same move over and over again. when angry enough, he would have an anger fit and start rushing for the opponent really fast. while this "fit" is extremely powerful, it can be avoided really easy, because the angry guy would be "blinded in rage".

I think your idea would be better suited to different fighting styles. Maybe a Muay Thai fighter could juice up his attacks as the opponent blocks.

What if the ninja had a combination of powers. One like pyro another like negativity, third could be some thing unexpected like metal.

I like the idea, i hope to hear more from you soon. Emotion and different things could fit well into ninjas. Some of them could do different things when there opponent does something. If the opponent keeps blocking, using weapons, trying to avoid you, then maybe the ninjas emotions or powers could change. He/she could get a boost up for speed, defense, special attack power, or others. Anger could raise, thus increasing strength and such. Nice ideas.

I was thinking the EXACT thing as well. You red my mind bro, cool idea. I'll post more on this, i'm still thinking about weapons and fatalities n such.
And to all of you who liked my Poison ninja idea, thanks. I'm gonna add more and more ideas on him, this could easily turn out to be one of the best ninjas ever created. I wish they would put a ninja like this in MK, it would fit perfect.

I got the idea from my ninja character, Hatsuma, I think you read him. I think that the reason people are so sick of ninjas is cause none of them have original abilities any more. That's why we need some with unexpected powers. I'd still like to see some kunochis in the game.

i appreciate it, Dark_n00b. more about the anger ninja, he shouldnt JUST get egged on by blocks, missed attacks, the opponent "dogging" him, etc. taunts would really tick him off. say for example, Fury (we'll give the dummyspitter a name) is fighting, say, Quan Chi. Fury isn't as skilled as Quan, and it is showing through that Quan is axing him. This is really making Fury angry. Near victory, Quan gets bored of bashing him physically, but instead bashing him emotionally. He taunts Fury saying, "And I thought you were the aire(sp?) to the throne of the Netherealm!! HA!!!" (this is only an example, has nothing to do with Fury's storyline) Fury cracks. Quan is too busy mouthing off to realise that Fury is pounding him to death. He was caught offguard and loses the fight.
Though the emotion factor that I have touched on above is something a bit ahead of our time in terms of AI, having a character such as "Fury" would be splendid.
i will add more on "Fury" later on

I red your thread on your character Hatsuma. It was pretty awesome, and good elements and such were on him. I've red your other ones to, there all great.

Kick ass bro, fury seems tight. Very good ideas.
Apart from having a water type elemental ninja, an earth one, poison one, nature one, wheather one, ETC, i was also thinking of a ninja that could be a master of mimicing moves. This ninja could take advantage of your physical attacks, and turn it on you. He could be a master of blocking, dodging, catching moves, and reversing all of it back at you. So lets say someone tries to kick him in the stomache. He could grab there leg quickly, and kick the opponent back fast enough. So basically hes a master knowing what attacks you will do.
Seeing more ninjas with elements, emotions, different styles of attacks, and everything else would be awesome. I will still keep this up to date, i'm currently thinking of more ideas.
