Since everyone else is posting their ideas for future Mk storylines, i've decided to throw my retarded hat in the ring.

The whole "end of the world" plot has been done to death in Mortal Kombat games. So I was sitting in geography class this morning and wondering what religion the characters from MK worship, then I thought, "hey, they worship the elder gods, there's no name for their religion".

So I gave it a name, "Gaianism"-meaning, "Belief in the living body". so then I though, "This can't be the only religion in the entire Mk universe, there must be more, there must be a competing religion." So then I thought of a name for a universalizing religion. I named it "Animism".

Then I created a small, non-specific, storyline:

"With all the major threats defeated, Earth is finally at peace. The Shaolin order return to their temple to live, train, worship; in relative safety. A few years pass and followers of a spreading religion, animism, slowly become more frequent in the land of Gaianism. At first the two factions are able to live together, with out confrontation. in fact, some shaolin monks even convert to animism.

when it is found out that some monks are converting, the grandmasters expelles said monks. Their reasoning: The Shaolin order is based upon Gaianistic beliefs***, and therefore can only be practiced by true Gaianists. The explusion of monks with animistic beliefs soon causes an upraor in the animist community. And Animists begin discriminating against Gaians; Animist stores do not sell to Gaianists, so on and so forth.

A strong animosity between the two religions grows, to the point where, the two simply cannot live together. Neither will leave the region in question, so a tournament is proposed; the two factions chooses their finest warriors to compete. The rules are based on the rules of the mortal Kombat tournament, and therefore the tournament in inaccuratly dubbed "Mortal Kombat". "

***Not the real-life Shaolin order.


Anyway, I figured I add places for some old MK characters later on, like Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Fujin, Raiden, Johnny Cage, etc. pretty much all the Earthrealm warriors.

Please rate on a scale of 10.
