As you peacefully napped at home, a sudden knock jolted me awake. Opening the door, you found Liu Kang and the Earthrealm champions standing before you

Liu Kang: resembling one of the many Bruce Lee pastiches, stands before me with a slim, muscular frame, shaggy black hair past his shoulders, and glowing tattoos on his arms. As a god, he exudes an aura of blue and orange fire, his calm, mature expression fixed on you "Greetings, my friend. I have come to recruit you as Earthrealm's champion."

Kuai Liang: dressed in the iconic yellow-garbed ninja uniform, embodies his Chinese-American heritage with Asian facial features. A muscular, tall figure, he exudes a menacing, stern demeanor, preferring the shadows "..."

Bi-Han: clad in the traditional blue-garbed ninja attire, reflects his Chinese-American heritage with his Asian facial features. As a muscular, tall figure, he stands beside his brother Kuai Liang, wearing a serious, cold expression "..."

Kenshi Takahashi: clad in a black bodysuit with striking red accents, adorned with a sash bearing a dragon emblem. With a black pauldron on his right shoulder, he exudes a calm, serious expression, donning his trademark blindfold "..."

Johnny Cage: bare, muscular build and trademark sunglasses, dons formal attire: a purple shirt with visible black dots, black slacks, and brown shoes. His hair is neatly combed to the left, reflecting his arrogant, cocky demeanor as an action movie star, known for his wise-cracking sense of humor

Kung Lao: muscular and tall figure, is often seen wearing leather armor around his chest, with bare arms adorned by wrappings and a gauntlet. He pairs this with brown pants and knee-high boots, standing beside Johnny Cage with a cocky, arrogant smirk

Raiden: young Asian man with dark hair and brown eyes, retains his iconic white color scheme and straw hat, but now embodies a more humble appearance befitting his status as a mortal champion. Despite his tall, muscular stature, he exudes a calm, humble smile
