Name: Raiden
Age: Eternal
Ethnicity: Lesser God
Home Realm: The Heavens
Fighting Styles: Nanquan, Jujutsu
Bio: the God of Thunder and Lightning, Raiden fought on the frontlines in
the celestial war which almost destroyed the realms, a barbaric chain of
events culminating in the creation of the sacred tournament. Charged with
ensuring mankind’s victory over the Emperor of Outworld’s forces, he
has sought out the best among each new generation of warriors to
participate and feels that this time he has finally found the ones who will
bring victory to Earthrealm. Raiden’s longevity has taught him to take life
in his stride, all the while enjoying the experience. This approach has been
misinterpreted as flippant or downright blasé, much to the chagrin of his
student Fujin. Though he prefers to remain behind the scenes as an
advisor, Raiden is also a highly-skilled fighter in his own right.

Name: Fujin
Age: Eternal
Ethnicity: Lesser God
Home Realm: The Heavens
Fighting Styles: Xingyiquan
Bio: the God of Winds and apprentice to Raiden, Fujin’s maturity and
level-headedness make him the polar opposite of his teacher, whose
knowledge and discretion he respects to no end whilst simultaneously
finding his nonchalance to be ceaselessly exasperating. He is severely
pessimistic, usually expecting the worst case scenario to occur due to his
lack of faith in humans. Despite his misgivings, Raiden has faith that Fujin
will one day come to understand his love of Earthrealm’s inhabitants and
step up to be their next great protector.

Name: Bo’ Rai Cho
Age: Over 100
Ethnicity: Chinese
Home Realm: Earthrealm
Fighting Styles: Drunken Fist, Mízōngyì, Sumo
Bio: a wise and revered teacher at the Temple of Light, Bo’ Rai Cho has
been responsible for the raising and training of many great warrior-monks
over the years, the latest of which include Kung Lao and Liu Kang, by
whom he is considered a father figure. Partial to indulgences, which
usually involve feasting and drinking himself into a stupor, Bo’ Rai Cho
believes the way of Shaolin does not lie in abstinence, but in upholding one’
s spiritual connection with nature and one’s fellow men. Beneath all his
corpulence and pleonastic insobriety beats the heart of a lion and woe
betide anyone foolish enough to provoke it.
