YOOO FUTURO! my name is Danni, im new as hell, and i bring you Kung Jin from that gory video game series that's been freaking out your parents since 1992: Mortal Kombat!

(if you are surprised to learn that mk lore is actually coherent enough to app from, don't worry, i still am too tbh)

Jin is a Shaolin monk from a long line of Shaolin monks, beginning with ~The Great Kung Lao~ who killed an evil sorcerer and saved the world 600 years ago. As such, he's a honed martial artist and sharpshooting archer with a thing for redemption and sticking up for the underdog. However, he's..... also a rude know-it-all jerk. he's not a bad dude at heart, promise, he just has many Feelings and Opinions he can't keep his mouth shut about-- and as a result, he will probably try to fight you/your mom/Sub-Zero/himself/the sun to get his way. which means he will absolutely get all his teams in trouble on every single mission he goes on I am so sorry in advance

surprisingly for a character from Increasingly Creative Murder: The Game, he doesn't come with too many warnings, but I've got a permissions post for him set up here just in case! If you wanna chat or plot you can reach me over at smithsyndicate, or by PM. I've been looking forward to playing with you guys and I'm super excited to jump in!!

Hey, Danni! I'm lyn; welcome to the game c: This fella looks real cute (I'm always in favor of sharpshooters + archers). I'm somewhat familiar with Mortal Kombat, but mostly just the older stuff ... and those excellent films, of course.

[pummelling]

hi lyn and ty for the welcome!!! jin has his own cowboy who looks startlingly similar to mccree lmao so he will be ??? at him for sure

mkx is LOTS OF FUN, and good lord, it's a shame the first mk movie isnt on netflix anymore i unironically think that mess is a classic

[flashbanging]

oh shit he looks mean as hell

lmao I ENJOY IT HONESTLY and i definitely own both soundtracks in any case

[pummelling]

erron black is The Worst but in the best possible way

THE SOUNDTRACKS ARE A+... annihilation is a disaster but jax/cool raiden save it, sort of, i think

[strictdiscipline]

hi danni, welcome to the game! i'm completely blind to mortal kombat (some...how....) but i'm always down for rude know-it-all jerks. 8)) please deliver unto us many Feelings and Opinions so that we may slap them all down.

i'm val, i play riza hawkeye from fma, and i look forward to tagging with you! pls don't fail me now random icon

[pummelling]

fma was one of tween danni's first anime fandoms i am so happy to see riza around ahhhh. thank you for the welcome!!!

there's a great video kicking around that sums up the main plot points, but basically: imagine game of thrones, but 40% of the cast is now either a ninja, a robot, or a monster with 50000 teeth. it is a mess but a mess I have come to love

[strictdiscipline]

wth, that sounds fabulous. if you happen to have a link to it and would like to chuck it my way, i'd be exceptionally grateful! otherwise i'll snoop around google fo' sho'

[pummelling]

I GOT 'EM!!!

here are the cutscenes from the latest game in 2.5-hour "movie" form, it is a fun watch, but here is the aforementioned skit that gives you the tl;dr version of like 10 games of high fantasy melodrama

[strictdiscipline]

omg bless you

i gotta head out BUT YOU CAN BET I WILL WATCH THESE AS SOON AS I AM BACK.

[pummelling]

NO BLESS YOU... I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE IS INTERESTED ;;

[strictdiscipline]

omg i forgot to update you on this but i watched the skit (and my bf popped in to watch with me a minute in) and we were both thoroughly confused by the end.

bless u for trying to tackle this plot

[pummelling]

comprehending mk is like comprehending cape comics or wrestling: at some point you just throw your hands into the air and give up on trying to make sense of it, at all

(also jin's from after the TIMELINE ALTERING REBOOT BS which makes it easier)
