who would you say is the most obscure character/obscure lore fact you’ve incorporated into your aus? ( @defendersoftherealms )
Heeeeeeey there, Anon!!✨️Oooh, great question!
I've brought Hsu Hao, Moloch and Drahmin, and Hydro into some of my fics before, but I admit I wasn't the most flattering to them😅 (I do plan to make it right to Hydro, but he'll have to wait cause I'm a really slow writer)
Remember MK Legacy? They introduced Hydro as one of the first Lin Kuei to go Cyber, I used that lore in one of my fics, "What The Winter Winds May Bring" but Hydro was a villain there (I did say I wasn't flattering) I plan to bring a Hydro 2.0 into this fic and also into my Scorpion!Harumi AU and in those versions he'll have a better treatment that will include his classic friendship with Bi-Han!🌊❄️
(But again, he'll have to wait, lol!😅)
But my moots don't call me The Harumi Girl™ for nothing! Obscure female characters like Harumi Shirai herself are my actual jam! I just love to bring an underrated gal into the spotlight!
And if you want a REAL obscure gal, then let me tell you about Lisa Liang!
Lisa is "people thought she was an OC when I first introduced her." Levels of obscure, which is probably the highest level of obscure, lol!😅
But what can I say? The girl's entire character in the MK Conquest TV show was "Sub-Zero's sister." ¯\_(ಠ_ಠ)_/¯
There's a world of possibilities you can explore with a title like that, and I extrapolated it to the max and changed her head to toe inside and out!
I also gave her a main lead role in my Scorpion!Harumi AU cause that's how things are done in this household!
But not all gals get the main girl treatment. Some get a more rough treatment!
The unfortunate gal in question is none other than: Peron!
Now that's an obscure character worthy of respect! Cause sure you may have heard of Sub-Zero's sister, but her you ever heard word of the woman who killed Sub-Zero's sister??
In MK Conquest, Peron is Scorpion's partner (no, this Scorpion has no correlation with Hanzo whatsoever. He was an evil emperor named Scorpio who possessed a royal guard named Takeda (no correlation with any Takeda we know either)) Together, they attacked Sub-Zero's family and Lisa was stabbed in the back by Peron.
Now, I feel like I'll be cheating a bit cause I teased Peron once or twice, but I never really got to properly write down the ideas I have for her in a post, so I don't know if it counts?? Oh well🫣
Anyways, in the Scorpion!Harumi AU:
Her presence will be more symbolic. She'll be one of the assassins sent to kill Lisa, the new Sub-Zero, to prevent the Cryomancer from rebuilding the Lin Kuei as a force of good!
In Umgadi Girls AU, however:
Peron will be completely redesigned as a Dragonborn Pyromancer and a general at the service of Queen Zhi and her daughter, Lisa!
The thing is, Peron is actually conspiring against the Royal family and trying to manipulate Lisa into starting a war against Edenia!
I'll be incorporating the "Peron stabbed Lisa in the back" as a metaphor to her treason rather than make it literal!
Needless say, Peron will fail to harm Lisa in both AUs and get the beat up she deserves for fridging an innocent girl just to add fuel to some dudes' beef!😤
Soooooo in the longest answer ever, I'd say it's Peron! Or Lisa, if you think Peron was cheating 😅
Lol, maybe Hsu Hao is more deserving of that title? Moloch and Drahmin, perhaps? Hydro??
