This is in the Current Timeline, the one where Raiden reverses time, undoing Shao Kahn's victory in the Battle of Armageddon. If you want to educate yourself on this, go here. For what happened in the Current Timeline, watch these 3 videos. Sorry they're so long & so many.
Millennia ago, Shinnok waged war against his fellow Elder Gods. Raiden, God of Thunder, Fujin, God of Wind & the Elder Gods came out as victorious. As punishment, Shinnok was imprisoned & tortured in the deepest plane of the Netherrealm. Though imprisoned, Shinnok was still able to manipulate certain beings & use them as pawns to do his bidding.
A millennium ago, Onaga, the Dragon King, was the true ruler of Outworld. Hoping to gain eternal life, he ordered the last known dragon egg to be kept, hoping that the blood of an infant dragon would grant him immortality. However, he died before this could be fulfilled. That always seems to happen. Shao Kahn, one of his chief advisers, had him poisoned & took over his rule of Outworld. His army, however, was kept in a mummified state. This army was considered undefeatable because Onaga possessed the innate power to raise the dead. By means of constant resurrection during battles, his army truly was undefeatable. During the millennia that followed, Onaga was apparently forgotten. Leading whatever troops that remained loyal to the Dragon King, Kahn continued many of the former emperor's plans. He continued to add lesser realms to Outworld, either through direct conquest or through Mortal Kombat.
The Mortal Kombat Tournament was created by the Elder Gods as a way for other realms to defend themselves against Outworld after it grew too powerful. The rules of the tournament are simple:
- 1. Every generation, competing realms would send their best fighters in to a single-elimination martial arts tournament; the victor of the tournament is crowned Mortal Kombat Grand Champion. If a realm can garner 10 straight victories via their Grand Champion or another representative of theirs, they earn the right to invade the opposing realm. The Grand Champion him/herself is granted stunted aging and immortality until the next tournament. This is the ONLY way for a realm to invade and conquer another.
- 2. The defending realm's fighters cannot be attacked by the opposing realm's fighters until the tournament begins.
- 3. Mortal Kombat, once declared, cannot be refused by either party.
- 4. Special powers can be used in the tournament.
- 5. Any violation of the above rules is considered an act of treason against the realms & the Elder Gods themselves, & will be dealt with accordingly & swiftly.
A milestone in his military victories was the merging of Edenia with Outworld. Many years later, Kahn chose Earthrealm as his next conquest. He sent Shang Tsung and eventually Goro to Earthrealm to prepare it for an invasion via Mortal Kombat. A turning point came when Prince Goro defeated the Great Kung Lao in Mortal Kombat and initiated a winning streak that would last for 500 years. Shang Tsung, a shapeshifter, supervised the tournament. In 2011, the 10th Mortal Kombat however, saw the defeat of both Goro and Shang Tsung by a Shaolin monk, Liu Kang, thereby ruining 500 years of Kahn's investment. Shang Tsung begged Shao Kahn to spare his life, and came up with a plan to lure Earth's chosen warriors to Outworld for a new tournament. Kahn agreed to this plan, spared Tsung's life, and restored his youth. Liu Kang won the second tournament also.
Quan Chi, another powerful sorcerer under Kahn's demand, found a "loophole" in the Rules of Mortal Kombat by resurrecting Sindel, Kahn's late wife & former queen of Edenia. Kahn, tired of waiting, ordered the invasion of Earthrealm immediately. Raiden begged the Elder Gods to stop Shao Kahn's invasion, but refused. They saw no harm to them. It wasn't until Shao Kahn actually merged Earthrealm w/ Outworld that the Elder Gods got of their lazy incorporeal asses & did something!!! Raiden & the Elder Gods defeated Shao Kahn & he was destroyed. Armageddon has been temorarily averted, "It is over. But only at the gravest of costs." However, just after Raiden leaves, Quan Chi tells Shinnok, "Your plan worked to perfection." Shinnok has been pulling Shao Kahn's strings. He vowes to be free & that Earthrealm & Outworld will be his.
2 years later, the demons of Outworld & the Netherrealm still roam. Shinnok was freed, only to be captured in his own amulet by Raiden. That must've been horrible for him. Like, "AT LAST!! I'M FREE!!" *Gets imprisoned in his own amulet.* "OH, COME ON!!! DAMN YOU, RAIDEN!!!!"
Present day: It's the year 2036. Shinnok was freed from his own amulet by Quan Chi, you know, the guy who's been w/ Shinnok every step of the way? Good. Well...Not for Earthrealm, though. Shinnok has become more powerful. And he vowes to claim Earthrealm for himself.
Meanwhile, Fazbear Entertainment celebrates it's 10th year of successful business! Every animatronic from the 1993 & the Toy animatronics to the Nightmares & Springtrap & his gang of Phantoms peacefully coexist!! But their peace is about to be shattered like cheap glass. They ended up hearing an ominous voice going, "The crushing pound of the mallet...The shattering blow of the club...The slashing edge of the blade...They call to you." Or even, "Kombat...It will summon you...It will challenge you...It will konsume you." They and the kombatants would be thrust into the Mortal Kombat Tournament to face Shinnok.
Da Rulez:
- ''DO NOT violate the Rules of Mortal Kombat or this thread!
- You only 2 roles per rper (1 Animatronic, 1 Kombatant.)
- Do not be too OP!! So that means NO Elder God powers/aid, No Blaze on your team, no Apex Predators, you get the idea.
- NO Puppeteering!! That also means no brain-washing your victims.
- Every kombatant MUST have AT LEAST 1 X-Ray move, 2 Fatalities, 3 Variations, 5 Brutalities & a Victory Pose. The Mortal Kombat characters can use their own in-game moves. The Animatronics CAN be taught some moves by their ally or allies.
- Mangle's a GIRL here. And SHE'S also called Toy Foxy.
- Jason Voorhees & Leatherface CAN talk; they can say actual words if you want them to.
- The following you CANNOT be: ANY Elder Gods, Argus, Delia, Orin, Caro, Hsu Hao, Kobra, Blaze, Moloch, Drahmin, Onaga, Shao Kahn, Dark Kahn, Motaro, nor Corrupted Shinnok. The user playing as Shinnok can't become Corrupted Shinnok IMMEDIATELY. MAYBE as a last resort. 1 of those limited use things.
- OCs aren't allowed; this ain't Mortal Kombat Armageddon. There's no Kreate-A-Fighter! The animatronics are your kreated fighters!! They have their kreated fatalities. You get the gist.
- You can have ALL 3 of the Kombatant's variations simultaneously active if you want.
