Keep the bona fide feeling of the MK experience and not stray from the path that the game is mainly east Asian influenced. We often get the incorrect ethnic representation of the individual. Shao Kahn for example, the name sounds Chinese, yet he was perceived Caucasian and there are others. Be more adventurous with what you perceive one to be just because the name appears like it is from a certain ethnicity. Just because the name seems like it is from a actual location, does not mean a person has to look a specific way.
1.Shao Kahn isn't Caucasian. He is an Outworlder. And his face under the mask makes it CLEAR.
2.Where on Earth did you find this thread???
Doubt it means the origins can't be from some special style of oriental culture though. Aspects like the language, writing, residents etc. However, these features are not obvious in Outworld anymore. In nearly all films Shao Kahn has been part of (MK Annihilation and MK Conquest) he was portrayed in the act by white people, not fictional Outworlders.
