Greetings fellow kombatants, and welcome to the Mortal Kombat RP. This is basically meant to be a reimagining of the MK saga, beginning after the events of the original game. In this RP you are allowed to play as one of the klassic kharacters from the MK franchise, or you can kreate a new character of your own. Keep in mind though, if you decide to kreate a new kharacter, make sure that it’s a kharacter that will easily fit into the mythos. It shouldn’t be too hard, the MK roster consists of monks, ninjas, cyborgs, demons, sorcerers, vampires, basically anything and everything you can imagine.

The rules for this RP as the same as pretty much every other RP out there. Use proper spelling and grammar. Respect your fellow players and don’t step on their toes. At the end of the day, MK is pretty silly so try not to take things too seriously. If you have any issues, be civil about it. Don’t be a dick or I’ll finish you. Metaphorically speaking of kourse.

Name:

Homeworld: Your realm of origin. Earthrealm, Outworld, Netherrealm, etc.

Appearance: If it’s an established kharacter, just use a picture from MK9 or MKX. If it’s an original kreation you can include either a picture or description. No anime/maga pictures though. This is MK, not BlazBlue.

Fighting Style: Are you fast and agile? Slow but strong? Armed with swords? Give a brief description of your overall approach to kombat. Only a few sentences are neccessary.

Special Abilities: These are your kharacters “special moves”, moves that usually have some sort of supernatural flair to them. Include a list of your three main special abilities. A lot of kharacter have some redundancy to their specials, so don’t worry about including “Low Fireball” and “High Fireball”. “Fireball” will suffice. We get it. You shoot fireballs.

Fatality: Obviously you are going to kill people in lots of different ways, but this is your signature way of killing someone. Your finishing move. Be as kreative as possible, and give your Fatality a fancy name.

Personality: A short description of your kharacter’s general attitude and demeanor. As you an arrogant prick? The strong silent type? We need to know these things. At the end of the day, the special abilities and fatalities are fun, but this is an RP, not a videogame. It’s story and kharacter driven.

Backstory: Your bio. Especially important if you’re playing as an original fighter, because we need to know about who you are and where you come from. 1-2 paragraphs will suffice. If you’re playing as an established fighter, remember that only the events of the first MK game are canon. Liu Kang beat Goro and Shang Tsung to become Champion. Scorpion killed Sub-Zero to avenge his family.

Motivation: Probably the most important section, the reason why you fight. Are you seeking vengeance? Redemption? Honor? Glory? TELL ME.

Name: Williamson - The Forgotten Pilgrim

Homeworld: Earth realm

Appearance:

Fighting
Williamsons fighting style is a quick and flurry like fighting style in which he utilizes his sword to its fullest extent along with intermixing martial arts into it. Of course, his fast style requires less armour which of course makes him more vulnerable to damage.

Special Abilities:
-Spinning Swords: Williamson spins his sword around in a circle, alternating between hands inbetween to provide a flurry based attack.
-Superman punch: Essentially what it says on the box. Williamson flies towards his enemy sending a punch with all of his might to their face
-Chokeslam backbreaker: Williamson picks his opponent up by their neck and first sends their back into his knee before tossing him across to the floor.
-Spear: Williamson dives at his opponents waist, sending them both to the floor. Willaimson then sends two punches to his opponents face before getting up and sending a brutal stomp to their chest.

Fatality:
Heads up!
Williamson slices the opposing fighters stomach open, revealing their internal organs. After this he proceeds to send a barrage of punches into the fighters stomach until he finally breaks through the back of the fighter. After this he grabs the fighter by their spine, tosses them into the air and sends his sword spinning after them, cutting them in half at the waist. When the body finally reaches the ground Williamson has torn the head from the body using his hands.

Personality:
Williamson is a sensible and cautious person. Years of battle have hardened him and taught him that war is not fun. He has lost many people that he cared for in his past and prefers to keep relationship with other people at a distance nowadays, becoming a sort of hermit loner over the years. That being said, he will risk his life for others just because of his inherent selflessness. He likes birds a great deal and will take personal offence to anyone killing or harming them for no reason.

Backstory:
Williamson doesn't remember a huge chunk of his early life. From what he has pieced together over the years his father was a Netherrealm sorcerer who had raped Williamsons mother during a period of time before the 15th century. As a result of his mixed blood, Williamsons lifespan has been greatly increased to the point where he far over 300 years old. Williamsons memory of his life kicks in around the time he travelled to Japan and was taught the ways of the samurai. He became a Ronin after his training under a long dead and forgotten master was complete. He travelled from town to town and country to country doing what jobs he could do earn a living. Throughout his travels his fighting experience greatly increased and his knowledge of the world increased with it. However, along with the great advantages his extended lifespan had given him it also resulted in the huge disadvantage of everyone he grew close to dying a long time before he would.

Williamson travelled to America during the early 19th century and generally helped to build small towns and whatnot while avoiding any trouble he could. He fought for the North during the American civil war of course. During World War 2 he travelled to Britain and fought in their military under a different alias as their restrictions on race were more relaxed than Americas. He moved back to America after the war and lived a quiet life, par a few scraps here and there. In more recent times he has gotten a job as a security guard and has the hobby of bird keeping. He lives in a rather sub-par apartment complex and often visits the local park to read.

Motivation: Williamson fights to protect Earth realm mainly for the fact that he lives there.

Name: Claudius

Homeworld: Outworld

Appearance:


Fighting Style: Pankration - Pankration is the native martial arts style of the Greco-Roman world. It is a fusion of Greek Boxing and Wrestling, adding in techniques like kicks and chokes. As such, Claudius is very heavy in delivering punches and take downs, but is also skilled in the distinctive kick to the stomach found in pankration, the gastrizein. Claudius is also equipped with a trident and short sword he keeps on his back and belt respectively, which he uses for special moves. It should be noted that Claudius is weighted down quite a bit by his armor and weapons, with the long trident on his back making quick escapes quite a difficulty. His chest is also very exposed, meaning he must keep it guarded primarily with his heavily armored right arm. His stance is turned slightly to the left, arms up to protect his chest and to deliver punches and grapple.

Special Abilities:

Trident Stab: Claudius lunges forward with his Trident and spears his opponent in the stomach, and then swings them overhead with his trident
Trident Trip: Claudius swings his Trident at the opponent's feet to trip them
Sword Slash: Claudius runs forward and slashes a few times with his sword, however, he is vulnerable to attack in this state.
Smack: Claudius smacks his opponent across the face with his armored arm, disorienting them.


Fatality: With the Fishes: Claudius spears his opponent in both knees, forcing them to the ground. As they are on their knees, Claudius gives them a thumbs down and quickly delivers two slashes with his sword to the opponent's left and right sides, finishing but stabbing his trident into the middle piece of the body and ripping it out by swinging it over head and behind him, smashing the head onto the ground. The fatality is supposed to mirror filleting a fish, a reference to the fact that Claudius' retiarius class is based off a spear fisherman.

Personality: Claudius is a savage man single mindedly fixated on his goal of taking revenge on his former master. He speaks only in short, to the point lines, and both in and out of battle displays great anger and a short temper. This can be his downfall at times, as he may rush into situations without thinking first. In battle, he remains a violent person, but is generally more focused, a result of years of fighting in the arena.

Backstory: Claudius was born in a peasant village in Outworld, one that had a habit of rebellion, well, one rebellion before that was put down by Shao Kahn's armies. In the raid of his village, the young Claudius was taken by the soldiers to become one of Shao Kahn's slaves. The boy was violent and aggressive from day one, not suited to be a house servant and too disobedient to be a laborer. Normally one like him would simply be killed, but the Emperor had other plans for this savage child. He outfitted him in warrior's apparel and sent him to fight wild beasts and prisoners for his amusement in the Arena. Claudius did well, killing every opponent he faced, never once showing mercy. The boy did so well that by the time he had achieved manhood, a feat no one had expected when the sent him to face the vicious animals in his first fight, he was granted his freedom. Returning to the ruins of his childhood home, Claudius was filled with rage towards the emperor, and vowed to kill him with his own hands. From that moment on, Claudius became a wandering warrior, participating in small games in remote villages and fighting anyone who challenged him on his travels through Outword. His only goal to become strong enough to challenge Kahn and slay him. That was when he found out about the Mortal Kombat tournament, and entered into it to achieve the goal he had so long desired.

Motivation: Claudius wants only to kill Shao Kahn, he seeks no other goal and does not care about the fate of anyone or anything else.
