Kenshi

Alignment- Good
Fighting Styles- Tai Chi, Wing Chun
Weapon- Katana
Allies- Sub Zero, Frost, Sonya, Jax
Enemies- Shang Tsung, Hotaru

After repaying my debt to Sub Zero, and saving him from Hotaru as he'd saved my life earlier, I resumed my original mission, to track down the sorceror Shang Tsung. All over Outworld, I heard the people say that he was dead, killed in the battle between himself, Quan Chi and Onaga. Shang Tsung hides himself well, but he cannot deceive me, not this time. My lack of visual sight means I can trace him by other means, and I have found him. Unfortunately, he has gotten himself a high ranking position in the Edenian Royal Family. For me to get him would not only bring conflict with Princess Kitana and Queen Sindel, but also their allies, Liu Kang and Raiden.

I now had to plan my next move carefully. On behalf of my ancestors, and for stealing my sight, the sorceror must die. During this time, I came across old friends I had believed to be dead. Frost, the former student of Sub Zero, wishing to make amends for betraying him, and my former Special Forces ally Jax. I told Frost of the Netherrealm wraith, Noob, who was now the biggest threat to her sifu, and trained along with Jax for the upcoming battles. Currently, I work as a free agent on behalf of both the Lin Quei and Outworld Investigation Agency, two groups dedicated to destroying evil. I will fight alongside them and any other heroes, but Shang Tsung is mine, only then can I regain honour in the eyes of my ancestors.


Goro

Alignment- Evil
Fighting Styles- Shokan, Destructive Strength
Weapon- Dragon Fangs
Allies- Shao Kahn, Reptile
Enemies- Liu Kang, Kitana, Kung Lao, Kintaro

Since regaining the favour of the Emperor Shao Kahn, the Shokans have proven to be instrumental in the reclaiming of Outworld. Now King of the Shokans, I lead them as Kahn's chosen general, and we destroyed much of Onaga's army, as well as their Edenian enemies. So far, nobody has been powerful enough to prevent our assaults, and Outworld is ours once again, the combined might of the Shokans and Kahn's own forces proving too powerful. Even our ancient rivals, the Centaurs, who once tried to take our positions in Kahn's army, are no match for our ferocity. My only concern now is Kintaro, who has turned his back on us, claiming we should be fighting against the Emperor for how he betrayed us in the past.

Kintaro is a fool, it was his fault the Shokans lost favour with Kahn in the first place. If he hadn't lost the Outworld tournament so embarrassingly, our position would never have come under threat. I will deal with him personally when the time comes, for now, there are many other enemies to crush. And, witnessing the divisions in our enemies ranks, this should be easier than ever. Even the Thunder God cannot keep his allies together this time, and I will greatly enjoy watching them suffer. Particularly Liu Kang, the man who defeated me in Shang Tsung's final tournament. This time, he shall face the full wrath of Goro, King of the Shokans, and I will tear him apart, and send Kung Lao the same way I did his ancestor so many years ago.


Kintaro

Alignment- Neutral
Fighting Styles- Kuatan, Sheer Brute Force
Weapon- Halberd
Allies- None
Enemies- Goro, Shao Kahn

It was a tragic day for our race when Goro became King, the first sign of defeat in war, and he crawls back to being Shao Kahn's slave. Has he forgotten what the Emperor did to after his Outworld tournament?! After my loss to the Thunder God Raiden, Kahn abandoned us in favour of the Centaurs, our eternal enemies. Not only did he grant them our place in his armies during the invasion of Earthrealm, but he and Motaro drew up plans to terminate us. Kahn betrayed the Shokans once, once too often, and he must pay the price. Goro claims it was me who caused our loss of face, but while he was defeated by a mere human, it took a Thunder God his full strength to overcome my might.

Most other Shokans have followed Goro into Kahn's army, obeying him as their King, and excited at the prospect of power over Outworld once again. But I will never follow them, our King has betrayed the Shokan race, and I cannot allow him to put us in danger of extinction. Shao Kahn came close to destroying us once, now Goro invites him to try again! Gorbak would be turning in his grave if he could see how his son betrays us. If Goro really thinks Kahn will not try and kill us again if he grows tired of us, then he really is a fool. I will stand against him and his beloved master, alone if nessecary, and take rulership of the Shokans for myself. I, Kintaro will make the Shokan race proud again, we will rule without the backstabbing Emperor's, or anyone else's interference.

Gonna add a couple of my own ideas for new characters now. Because they're my own creations, I'll give more details about them, like their looks and a rough idea of how they fight, along with fitting them into my visions for MK7. Comments and ideas are always welcome.

Darkstone

Alignment- Evil
Fighting Styles- SAS Self Defence, Wrestling
Weapon- Double Handed Broadsword
Allies- Mavado, Quan Chi
Enemies- Sonya, Kabal, Sub Zero
Appearance- Large, muscular, middle aged British man. Dressed all in black commando gear, with body armour and beret. He has white hair, and his face is covered in small scars, and camoflague paint.
Fighting- I'm giving him styles that focus on power and hard hitting. Swinging a big broadsword, or fighting with grapples, slams and power moves MK's playable cast could really do with another big, strong, slow fighter.

Until recently, I served with the United Kingdom's SAS special forces, fighting with pride and honour. I was assingned to co operate with the Outworld Investigation Agency, in a mission to bring down the reforming Black Dragon clan. Our task was simple, eliminate them before they once again become a major threat, so I fail to see how what I did was in any way wrong. Carrying out an interrogation with two stubborn thugs from the clan, and the OIA representative getting nowhere, I took matters into my own hands. Knives laced with poison were thrust into their stomachs, and I calmly told them they would die slow, painful deaths of they did not tell us exactly what I wanted to know. They told me everything, and I put them out of their misery, it's more than honourless scum like that deserve.

Once the OIA had my information, they decided that my methods were too extreme, and ordered my expulsion and arrest. I was discharged from the unit I'd fought for so many years, but their loss was another clan's gain. A spy for the Red Dragon, a criminal warrior clan apporached me with an offer to join. Learning of their strict codes of honour above all, and disciplined fighting styles, I accpeted. Shortly afterwards, their former leader Mavado returned to take back the clan, and ally them with an army from the Netherrealm. In return for making me his second in command, I killed the strongest rival to Mavado's leadership. Now I command Red Dragon soldiers, others who accept violence and brutality for the sake of honour, and will destroy the organisations who stand in our way.


Mizuho

Alignment- Good
Fighting Styles- Taijutsu, Kung Fu
Weapon- Daisho (two swords, one long, one short)
Allies- Kung Lao, Kai
Enemies- Shao Kahn, Quan Chi
Appearance- Cute, slim young, Japanese girl, in early 20's with long black hair. Dressed like a white and red, traditional, old style kunoichi (female ninja) rather than the colour coded MK ninjas. If anyone's seen the movie "Azumi", think an outfit like that, with the skirt type robe. No mask.
Fighting- We've got all the colour coded male/female/cyber ninjas in the MK series, enough of them. I like the idea of a more traditional ninja, fighting with ninja moves and weapons, rather than magic powers or whatever. I deliberately wanted her looking totally different to MK "ninja" women.

Since I was little, I have been brought up learning the ways of the ninja in secret. While I have become an expert with their techniques and weapons, I could never stand the assasinations, killing those who might not deserve it, simply for money. Disgusted with this life, I ran away from my clan, and looked for a way to use my skills for good and found myself in China. There, I persuaded Kung Lao to let me join the Shaolin Temple, and train me further in their ways. After the death of Liu Kang, he said I should stay on Earth while he went to battle the Deadly Alliance with Raiden and other heroes. Deep down, I knew I wasn't yet ready to join them in their fight, but nothing could prepare me for what came next. A while after the death of the Dragon King, their was a big fallout between Kung Lao and the ressurected Liu Kang, caused by Raiden, with Liu and Raiden having the support of the Edenian royalty.

During the time away, he had become increasingly more violent, and had murdered the man who defeated Onaga, blaming him in the first place. Kung Lao has always told me we must stick together in our battles against evil, so with former Shaolin member Kai, I now find myself trying to bring peace between the two sides. Kung Lao, Raiden and most other people have said I am still too young and inexperienced to get involved, but who else will if I don't? We have already come under threat from Shao Kahn, and others are following, seeing us at our weakest. I may be young, I might never have fought to save Earthrealm before, but I have to find a way to bring Raiden and Kung Lao back together. We need them co operating, to defeat greater threats to Earth and other realms, or we're all doomed.
