I thought it'd make for an interesting thread, to analyse the three Shokan's different personalities, as it's not something that's done often.

Goro: Proud warrior, but also a politician, which is a given since he's a prince and all. Doesn't appear to have a particularly strong hatred of centaurs, as he was willing to end the conflict with them in Kung Lao's MK Gold ending. But then Shao Kahn in MKD offered to ban the centaurs, which Goro accepted, but that might have been more out of convenience than hatred of them (though truth be told I think his MKD story was a step back for the character, but that's for another topic).

Other interesting bit of info from the MK1 instruction booklet: he has seven wives.


Sheeva; also a proud warrior, but she puts her race and culture above everything else, as evidenced by her MK9 intro. She killed Motaro in the old timeline and even tried to murder Shao Kahn himself when he starting favoring the centaurs.

She can be considered a Shokan nationalist/supremacist, but we still don't know her well enough to tell if she's an irredeemable bigot or not (I certainly hope she isn't). But if her MK9 ending did happen and some Shokan migrated to Earth, it'd prove Sheeva is willing to diplomatically deal with other races.


Kintaro: the vaguest one. We still barely know him even after 20+ years, but let's see. He wanted to avenge Goro's death, and he was apparently more aggressive than him. But his MK9 bio that was only accessible through hacking (if what I read was true) doesn't say anything about any relationship with Goro. It says he's a gladiator, who cares more about personal glory than anything else, and that he's a centaur killing machine.

Oh, and we also know he thinks humans are less ugly when they burn.


Again, I'm posting this just for fun. I'm done for now.
