This is just my ideas and concept of Jade, if she ever makes it to this new MK game!

I've seen that "character idea" threads has been closed, so if this thread isn't acceptable on this message board, then just close it too :)

Anyway, this is my idea:

Looks:
Jade will return as a tan-skinned Edenian. MK needs a dark female to balance out Jax, and Jade is perfect for that. Also, I want her hair to be chestnut-coloured, like she had in MK2! I really liked that colour and then she won't have the same colour as the other ninja-girls.
Her hair-do is tons of small plaits (Alicia Keys inspired), with green pearls in the ends and a few green feathers in one or two of the plaits.
Her eyes would also be green.

Outfits:
Her original outfit would be light-green and her alternate outfit would be darker, like Reptiles!
She could have a ninja-outfit, with mask as her alternate outfit, but her original outfit should be different. Maybe more amazonic/jungle like, or maybe a bit hawaiian style outfit, but of course fit for fighting in it.

Weapon:
I would like for her to have her staff, given to her by Shao Kahn. But this staff is different from Raidens wooden staff.
Jade's is kinetic and only appears when she moves it, so at first it looks like she doesn't have any weapon in hand. When she doesn't use it, it would be invisible or atleast transparent.

Special Moves:
- Boomerang: Her staff has the ability to emerge boomerangs out of it, and so she'll throw them at the opponent. This will be her projectile move!
- Projectile Invulnerability: Of course they should find a shorter name for this move, but as it says, this move will make Jade become invulnerable to projectiles for 3-5 seconds. She will become ghost-like/transparent in the process and not being able to use other special moves.
- Flik Flak: GOD, I just LOVE this move. For those who knows the game Killer Instinct knows, that the femme fatale of the game, Orchid, has a move, where she stands on her hands and spins 360 degrees kicking the opponent. And I would love to see Jade do the same thing, just her own version.
- Somersault Kick: This is another cool kick. She jumps into the air, spinning backwards and kicks her opponent. Kinda like Cage can in MKDA, but this would be stronger and a green trail will follow her kick, also like Cage's Shadow Kick!

Fighting Styles:
Well, I'm not really into all the different fighting styles this world has. But they should be quick and cat-like. Panther, Tiger and styles like those would be what Jade should have!

Fatalities:
- Brutality: I've always thought, that Jade should have a brutal fatality, where she just beats the crap out of the opponent. She would switch between her fighting styles, also using her weapon, and just kick the opponents ass to Hell! The opponent shouldn't explode, but just lay on the ground and bleed when Jade is finished with him/her.
- Boomerang Cut: OK, not the coolest fatality-name, but this is how it would look like. Jade swings her staff and out of it boomerangs will fly into the opponent and get stuck in him/her. A bit like Mileena's Sai fatality and Reiko's Shuriken fatality in MK Gold. Again the opponent will lay and bleed to death.
- Boomerang Cut (2nd version): Jade swings her staff, hurling the opponent into the air. She'll keep on swinging her staff and boomerangs will fly out of it, hitting the opponent and get stuck in him/her, like in the first version. The opponent will finally fall, but Jade stands below and stabs the opponent with her staff. She throws the opponent to the ground and stands victorious.

Storyline:
Well, we haven't seen Jade or heard from her since she and Kitana fleed from Shao Kahn's grasp in MKT. But what happened since?
Some says she died, others say she became an Edenian along with Rain. But then again, others say that Rain also died...

I believe, she stayed with Kitana and joined her in the war alongside the Shokans, Goro's race.
But she never got to fight the Deadly Alliance. My theory is, that Shao Kahn caught her an kept her in the palace dungeon. Jade was once one of Kahn's best fighters and he wanted it to be that way once again. But he was killed before she decided anything. And so she got free from his imprisonment some time after and got back to Edenia after the defeat of the Deadly Alliance.
But now she's back and ready to fight again, this time against the new thread: The Dragon King!

This is my way of putting Jade back in action. If any of you has some ideas for her costume, weapon, special moves or her storyline, then please post it!

I hope you like my ideas!!! :)

Hugs, JR!!!

I saw this one really good fan submission sketch of how jade should look. The author was "JAX007" he/she did a really good job. this is the link for those who havent seen it yet. I think this would really work.

Jade is one of the coolest, and most deadly fighters ever to grace Mortal Kombat. It'll be a shame if she doesn't return.

Great ideas Jaded-Raven. grin With Sindel returning, I think it might be possible that Jade will return. You never know...it just might happen and I would like to see her return.

***Please excuse my nglish... i'm french***

I've been on Jade-Raven side since my début on this board.
I've always digged the MK Chicks... if it was just for me they would all come back (yes, even Tanya)....

Jade was always mysterious and exotik!
I love the idea of her being a black woman with beads in her hair...

Here's how I picture her story:
She went back in the desert and gatter the desert-nomad-people on her side. Knowing that the war was not over against Shao-Khan. Receiving the news of the death of Goro and the new DA, she decide to leave her people and ask Rain to join her in battle (Rain ironicaly is a desert-nomad). She also ask her people to stay on guard just in case things could go wrong....
She then join force with Sindel, since Kitana left for earth with Kung Lao for a pelgrimage in honnor of LiuKang....

New Stage
Jade's sand forteress...


Moves
The one you said are great (not sure about the boomerang throught)
Projectile Immuniti could be caled "Mirage" as Jade uses the force of the desert to desapire for a moment...

What do you thik?

About an eternity ago, someone did a sketch of Jade that resembles your description, and it looked really good. I'll search the FanArt forum for it, but I think it was posted before the new site...

Great ideas, though, with transitioning her to 3D.

I really like your idea JadedRaven. They're pretty damn coool. I like fatality Boomerang#2 but I think that instead of Bommerang#1, she should have the stab and shake fatal.
I ove that fatal.... wow

That is awesome fan art. You would figure jade would be a perfect candidate considering she wields a staff. Hopefully she will be.

Jade was only Asian in the movie. She's Black in the game.

I like the braids with the beads at the ends. But yeah, The top of the head doesn't look too good. But otherwise it's a great drawing.

i think the people at midway should state what she is, shes appeared in all type of looks. Its confusing i guess. She might be black who knows.

Well, I am quite sure she's black!
In MK2 she had two looks... A low ggraphic version, where she was nothing but a green palette swap of Kitana.
And the second has a higher graphic quality, and she is black with reddish hair and the green outfit.
I simply think that she was white in some versions of MK2, because they Midway had troubles with the graphic quality!!!

And in UMK3 and MKT she's black!

In Annihilation they simply just used an Asian girl as Jade, but that doesn't have any effect of how the game should be...
I mean, even though the movie is based on the game, it doesn't quite follow the storyline from the games...

I love your idea, and Mirage is a perfect name for the Projectile Invulnerability move!!!
