Should I? Yeah, what the heck.
I assume many of you saw that Rebirth trailer and let me just say I'm optimistic. The first obvious thing I noticed was that they changed the origins on a few characters, particularly the non-humans.
Here's what I propose: Pick a character that you would want to be in this movie or game and recreate their origin to what you think would fit this "realistic" and gritty setting.
Um......Go.

Ugh, I just said this on the other thread... I want to know more about how Baraka turned into a doctor-type character, how he got that nickname, what's with the dreads and the spikes on his face. That's all. Hahaha!

Alias: Noob Saibot
Height Unknown
Weight: Unknown
Age: Classified
Eyes: Unknown


One of the worlds most elite assasins, he was a highly trained operative in the way of ninjitsu and served in China's special military outfits in Espionage and Infiltrations. The man has seen many missions in his career. And he began to go rouge even going so far as to killing his superior officer. The man is nearly invisible it's as if he's a wraith when stalking on the battlefield. He wears black facepaint and covers any sign of his skin so that he is nearly invisible in the darkness. Noob Saibot does not use any firearms in battle, instead he prefers to kill in a quick fashion with blades. You won't know what will hit you. He is known for killing top advisors and political leaders throughout the world. We believe he took a contract from Shang Tsung to take out a monk rebel leader who goes by the name of Raiden.

LMAO....speaking of which

Smoke

The result of a one night stand/acid trip between a def leopard groupie and a young industrial reaganaut, Smoke always knew he was destined for greatness. Unfortunatly, growing up in an age of excess and bad parenting led young Smoke down the path to hard drugs and ultimately...reefer madness. In and out of juvi since his teenage years, the pipe bombing of his former employer(The Lin Kuei Laundromat) would prove to be his ticket to hard time. He now finds himself as the wisecracking sidekick to Scorpion after Majo....Capt. Briggs decided to send them both on a suicide mission instead of doing his job.

Catchphrase- "I got a bad feeling about this"
Special Movie- The Spear-.....he steals scorpion spear.
Fatality- The Gateway: Smoke blows a hit of marajuana into his opponent's face. After a few years of not getting the high from the same drugs, the opponent will finally succumb to an overdose of a stronger drug.

Jax lays another folder in front of the man. "A Vietnamese expert of torture, A 17th century samurai and a small town farmer who buried his victims alive in his basement". "These are just a few of the multiple personalities currently residing in Emilio Ray Machucha". "All working together at once and all excellent killers". "He'll be at that tournament attempting to fulfill the blood lust of the killers within". Jax opens the file to reveal a photo taken from the security camera in the mental hospital. Emilio Ray Machucha walks away from a doctor he has killed with a scalpel. His shirt and lower half of his face are covered in blood. the name tag on the patients clothes read "E.R.MAC". Jax closes the file. "The other patients said he crushed the first guards throat just using his mind"." But what do they know". "They're crazy, right"?

--Mileena--

Step-daughter to the ruler of Outworld, Shao Kahn, and sister to Kitana, Mileena was horribly disfigured by a fire as a young girl. Her face was scarred and she was so badly burnt that her voice was altered and became terrifyingly deepend. Always second-best, Mileena grew tired of living in her sisters shadow and attempted to kill her older sister. Caught by several guards before she could slay Kitana, Kahn refused to have anyone help his youngest step-daughter and instead locked her away in his dungeon. After years of rage built up, Kahn releases her but under one condition; she use her built-up rage as his personal assassin to make up for her years of disgrace. Mileena agrees, doning a mask to hide her scars, and slays countless innocents under Kahn's orders. She will do anything to overcome her sister, Kitana, in her step-fathers eyes.

--Kano--

Leader of the ruthless Black Dragon clan based out of New York City's criminal underground, Kano grew up on the streets as a thug. At the age of seventeen, Kano committed his first crime; breaking and entering. He brutally murdered the family inside. The slain family left one surviving member, a nineteen year old girl named Sonya. Sonya becomes devoted to tracking down the man who ruthlessly murdered her family. Kano easily runs up the ranks of the clan, eventually becoming its leader. At the age of thirty-two, Kano leads his clan into a clan-battle against their rivals, the Red Dragon, and loses his right eye in the intense clash. The right side of his face is ripped apart and is replaced with a metal plate that holds an artificially made eye. After years of becoming one of the most feared clans in New York and one of the most hunted crime organizations by the U.S. government, Kano and his two generals, Kabal and Jarek, are asked to join a tournament hosted by the mysterious crime lord Shang Tsung.

We have to remember this has to be real like..

I was thinking more of kitana and mileena are twins but mileena always felt ugly compared to her twin sister so she seeked plastic surgery... thats where she met Baraka before he went crazy, and as he was training she allowed him to try on her, but it went horriblely wrong and she was left looking, horrible, but she stuck by barakka and waiting for the right time to get revenge on her sister.

Or she was kidnapped by Barakka at a young age and was trained to despise her sister as she had everything and her family did not care that she was missing, Barakka re did her mouth before doing his, and is waiting for the right time to let his little pet fight with her sister, just for the revenge of her father not letting him become a professional plastic surgen

This is a fun thread, and I guess I will give in my 2 cents later, but I hope its clear that just because Kitana is the damsel-in-distress bitch of the games, that it doesn't mean I want to see that happen LITERALLY and have her as an official prostitute trying to redeem herself from her sins (sex and drugs...wow). Get the point? Or just because Mileena dresses slutty and hides her face that she is actually a transgender erotic dancer.

So far these have been funny or interesting. Keep em coming

"Code name Sektor. Real name unknown. He was once a high ranking operative of a top secret section of the Japanese Government. During his missions he's killed dozens of enemy agents. Even more were civilians who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Then the Lin Kuei clan came into the mix. Yeah, you (Hassashi) know plenty about them. They offered to help fund a new military project, something that involved merging cybernetics with human test subjects. Sektor was the first volunteer. It was a success, but he needed more. This pyscho turned himself into a walking arsenal at the cost of his humanity and increased his murderous quota."

they will screw up all my favorite characters. Since we cant have anyone not human because that ISN'T WHAT MAINSTREAM AMERICA WANTS!!!!

Sindel will be a Jersey Shore crackwhore who is Shao Kahns (Drug Lord) wife. She wont be "returned from the dead" she will just be bought with his money. She will have a lot of makeup and big hair and star on Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Kitana will be a hooker working in Kahn's whore house

Mileena will be her Fat sister who tried gastric bypass and got skinny but went to Doctor Baraka (still retarded in my eyes) and was disfigured.

SubZero is literally going to be an ugly Mister Freeze from Batman

Chameleon/Khameleon will be twins that are techno masters and can hack into computers and are masters of disguise.

Cyrax Sektor and Smoke will all be part of an attempt at cybernetic enhancements to humans much similar to what Jax will end up being. they will rewrite the story (because the past doesn't matter) so that the same company does all the work on them but Jax gets only enhancements while the other three's brains were ultimately taken over by computers.

Ermac will have no place in this continuum since he is made up of a bunch of souls. BUT to screw with that they will make him a fallen Priest or some stupid crap

Frost will be SubZero's sister maybe...I dont really care

Raiden and Fujin are going to be a gay couple that try to make everyone get along but end up showing the good guys the way of the light

Goro Kintaro and Sheeva Will all be part of a circus group of performers that dont have four arms but are all overly buff and tall strong people. Sheeva will be a super lesbian

Jade is going to be another whore for Shao Khan

Kabal will be a burn victim given new life by a high tech respirator. Dont really need to change him much

Kano can also be enhanced by the same company (lets say this company is run by Shinnok) and was given the ocular enhancement after Sonya took an eye from him.

Shinnok is going to be like Lex Luthor, and Billionaire businessman who doesn't get his hands dirty. He could have been played by Michael Jackson for the look BUT Mikey is dead

Motaro....well....he could be a porn star that is HUNG like a horse...............

Nightwolf they can leave alone or barely change

Nitara will be a goth girl from the underground. her purpose I have no idea. but she will have a lot of tatoos and look like Pat Benetar

Noob Saibot could be another fallen priest working with or against Ermac for some order of holy people.

Quan Chi will work for Shinnok and or Shao Kahn. He could be a double agent that is really good at weapons making (turn him into a Destro type from GI Joe)

Tanya can be Quan Chi's woman like Baroness in GI JOE

I dont care about anyone else really.
It's gonna suck.
Kill the original concept and I'm done caring about the franchise.

It's not gonna suck, I'm sure of it. MK is finally going to a new horizon, more realistic. I really like the concept but what tells you characters ain't gonna have some special powers? In the teaser, Scorpion is still a ghost(his eyes) and sub zero will have freze ablilties.

What's wrong about MK trying to be more realistic? If you don't like it, just play the older games.

I dont like it because I have invested 20 years of my life into this franchise for them to change everything.

Lets just make
The Smurfs Red and just really short people
GI Joe can be a company competing with Cobras other corporate company
Mario Brothers can be actual plumbers and the Princess can be a movie star and Bowzer should be the wicked head of an entertainment company
Kirby can be a cotton candy manufacturer
Transformers should ALL BE Trannies Pre and Post OP
Buffy The Spelling Bee Slayer should now compete in in competitions across the nation raising funds for Oil Spill Clean up and Earthquake relief.

Haha, I tried to make one. I think I started off okay but I completely had no idea where to take it during the last bit. Anyway, laugh away-

Name: Tanya Richmond

Age: 23

Ethnicity: African-American

Codename: Boomerang

Bio: Born and raised by her famous politician father and actress mother, Tanya Richmond grew up in a happy home as the youngest of three children. From the moment she was born, her parents loved her more than anything else on earth. Tanya had control over her parents which her other siblings did not have. She was a spoiled brat who got everything she wanted and her siblings hated her; the feeling was mutual.

With beautiful white teeth, stunning golden eyes, and smooth Carmel skin, Tanya was able to talk her way out of any situation. She was a blatant pathological liar who used people to get whatever she wanted. Only her siblings saw her for what she was- a cold, dangerous, sociopath. When Tanya turned sixteen, she brutally murdered a fellow classmate(a high school rival) and tried to cover it up as an accident. It worked.

When she turned twenty, she hired a hitman to kill her entire family so she could be the sole inheritor of her family’s fortune. The man accepted the offer and on one cold December night he snuck into their home and brutally hacked every single member of Tanya’s family to death as they slept.

Instead of paying the hitman, she double crossed him and coldly shot him with her father‘s gun. When the police arrived to the scene, she told them the man was an intruder and had killed her entire family and was going to kill her. No one doubted her story and Tanya got the money.

Tanya Richmond has now gone missing. No one knows what happened to her. Some people (the ones who don’t know the real Tanya) think she was killed by one of the vicious serial killers that are roaming the city of Deacon and that her body just hasn’t turned up yet. Some believe she fled the city, unable to take anymore talk about the brutal murder of her family. But I believe she’s still alive, well, and just as psychotic as she’s always been.


Recently, there have been reports of yet another serial killer in the city, this one a female dressed from head to toe in some skimpy yellow outfit, her face covered. The newspapers call her “Boomerang” because she can snap a neck at lightening speed. I call her Tanya. If Boomerang & Tanya are indeed the same person, then obviously Tanya is working for the same person as Reptile & Baraka are- Shang Tsung. There’s no doubt in my mind that she’ll be in the tournament to do what she does best- betray, deceive, and kill...

Stryker seems pretty plausable, because of the whole "War on Crime" element. For Stryker, I would just have him as an undercover Cop, sent to follow Scorpion, keep an eye, and report back to Jax or Sonya. That kind of role.
