Exactly. Plus, there are characters like Kenshi, Bo' Rai Cho, Li Mei, and Sindel who were only in 2 games (Not counting MKA), and they have some of the deeper stories in the game.

To XiahouDun84: What about Shao Kahn? He's a native of Outworld, isn't he? And he's been around for thousands of years.



Really? Well, I wasn't that satisfied with it. There's definitely more I could want from this bio, mainly an explanation as to what happened to him during and after Shao Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm. Don't you think that would make sense to have in his bio, especially since he hasn't been in many games?

But we also don't know what exactly he is. He seems to be some sort of demi-god. He also brags about how he's immortal. His power also comes from souls which probably help maintain his life.

I will merely interpret this bio as Rain's ending in MK Trilogy did not happen. I guess like Kabal, maybe Rain being a good guy was all in our heads. After all, Deception never did say that Kabal was a good guy who returned once again to a life of crime.

Rain having a father who is a high ranking person in Edenia. Gee, now I wonder who Rain reminds me of in this bio?....

I know! It's *drum roll* Tanya! Both of them have fathers who have very highly elevated status in Edenia. And they were both tempted by Quan Chi to turn against the Light Forces in order to achieve even more power as they according to Quan Chi deserved it. They were made for each other.

Disapointing. Not only it's too short, most of that information is already known thanks to konquest and his ending.

The only somewhat important thing was the revelation that Rain discovered the truth from Quan Chi. But it seemed so superficial. I'd like to know more about how this revelation was done and I don't believe this episode will be mentioned in Quan Chi's bio. I don't know, but the fact that Rain was never directly connected with neither Quan Chi nor Shinnok before in contrast with that new information kinda bothers me.

Let see if Rain's role will be mentioned in someone else's bio...

Parts of Rain's ending could still happen. Just because Kitana might have turned him against Kahn, doesn't mean he became a good guy. He could hate Kahn...but still be a selfish, ambitious coward. Maybe he simply wussed out of his suicide mission and has been in hiding until Quan Chi found him.
Personally, my interpretation is something like that scenerio. Kitana turned him against Kahn...but that doesn't mean he became a "good guy."

The same can be said with Kabal. His ending said he would start fighting crime, which would make him a good guy to extent. That doesn't mean he became a nice, Superman-like boy scout. He's always described as a psychotic and violent nomad. I don't see it as that big a jump for him to give the crime fighting and embrace anarchy.



That's why people supported the idea of Rain hooking up with Tanya to form a sort of Bonnie & Clyde duo.

Yawn. So we've found out that the Edenians are descended from the gods, and that Rain is, as expected, an idiot.

I call humdrum crap on this one.

Bo is from earthrealm originally, his ending concerns Outworld however.

Bo' Rai Cho was never from Earthrealm. the very reason he has not com-peted in MK is that his victories would have served Outworld. Hell, even his and Li Meis konquest in MKDA understate this.

I'm just disappointed that a character with such great story potential turned out like this..... I also wanna know what happened to him exactly between MKT and MKA.

Rain is a clown, the bio just proved it.

The bio is good, just alittle disapoint that they rushed it. They couldve waited for later to release his bio.

I see what you're saying, I just feel that given how big of a character Rain is which isn't really that huge to begin with if you think about compared to characters like Subby, Ermac etc and the other ninjas and characters seems acceptable.I know it's definitely short, then again I think Rain's character is just as short.Coward, trator, goes where the wind blows and does what can benefit only him ultimately.That's rain in a nutshell lol.

As for the Shao Kahn gig, I see what you're saying however I feel Kahn's invasion gig has already been explained as far as Kahn is concerned.As far as Rain, he just fled and went into hiding for the right moment.That's the vibe I get given his MK:A bio in MK:A and his official one right now.He apparently fled and in that time also scheming as he explains concerning his mission concerning Taven, Daegon, Argus and his destiny or what he feel is his destiny.

That bio was disappointing for me. It's too short and it looks like it was rushed. Midway should've waited longer to put more info into it. It also annoys me how they make him out to be an evil coward too much. What is so hard about getting Rain to allign with Edenia again and show his feelings for Kitana (hints of connections in the past)??? If Rain is in MK8 I hope they reveal that his MKA story and ending was not canon. Just like his part in MKD's conquest was not canon.

Short, sweet, little details. I hope Mr. Vogel and the others don't do this to other characters that have been away since before MK4. We need explanations as to where they have been all these years. Anywho heres the bio in jpg if anybody wants it: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j193/Mortanius60/RainBio.jpg

Wow, that's a gapping hole...

Starting to feel like they don't or won't read the old and just create the new...

Like "Suffice" is the only objective, Y'know?

Making me wonder the unnessasary...."Who else is all on the MkTeam?"

This was exactly what they aimed for. "Thank you"......But it's not "enough"//satisfying.....

I love it..I don't care what happened to rain in the past, I'm just happy he's in MKA. He looks absolutely awesome and his storyline has great potential. Him being a god (which is kinda logical if you look at his powers) and wanting to compete with taven and deagon leaves room for twisting plots etc. Will he defeat either one of them? Will either one of them defeat him? Who will end up on the throne? What will happen to Jade, Kitana and Sindel, since they can be rulers of edenia too. Who has the most rights to the throne?He might even find an ally in Mileena

Wow this was too short. I'm kinda disappointed. However Rain's ending has a chance of being canon though

Yea, I hope it is cannon...It's just missing an arm and both legs..Lol
Kinda bothers that we have to "hope" in the first place eh? Meh..

He was my second favorite character in UMK3 and finally seeing him back in Armageddon.

Now about his bio:

I confess Rain’s alignment would be Good and I still believe he’ll turn like Ermac did. His ending could be cannon as he being the next boss (although I prefer him as a regular character than a boss). His ending could also be cannon because it would be event that Argus wouldn’t predict.

About his bio, although I liked it, I was disappointed it was so short and there’s still so much things to be reveled about him since the events of UMK3 until now. Seeing his bio now and his ending I think we can scrap his ending in UMK3. I really don’t now where was he during that whole time, maybe he was working for Shao Kahn or he kept a low profile, I really don’t know but Iam really curious about his past.

We know Quan Chi will betray him and he is just using him. I believe Rain will discover by force that was just using him and there he will be enraged and maybe he join the forces of light to fight Quan Chi and his alies. I still has hope that he’ll turn good.


I believe when Midway releases Kitana and Quan Chi and maybe Jade’s bios will make references about Rain. And I say that because I believe Midway is hearing us and will uncover more things about Rain in other character’s bio.

just to put my thoughts in, it's possible kahn helped or was involved in argus's 'murder' aiding deagon in exchange for his aid in taking over edenia. just a guess

I know my mistake, I was getting him confused with Kenshi lol.Kenshi and bo I used often in MK:DA when it first came out.I got them confused I admit.

Bo is indeed from Outworld.But for the record, the hell with konquest li mei just watch his bio card it tells all you need to know, the bio cards are useful for basic info.
