──────────────────────────────
Tomàš
🥀 There are burns scattered across his body which include on his face and his neck. As a result, he cannot smile properly-- nor can he laugh without it sounding low. The most Tomàš can manage is a crooked smile.
🥀 Tomàš is a horrible liar, so he has resorted to being mean with the truth.
🥀 Tomàš is a bottom.
🥀 Tomàš can't sit properly in a chair.
🥀 Tomàš is very good at using chopsticks, which is surprising to Kung Lao and Liu Kang.. until he reminds them that he grew up in a Chinese clan.
🥀 One of the ones in the group that has one of the highest alcohol tolerances, only surpassed by Jade and Kitana.
🥀 Tomàš is not allowed to drink energy drinks anymore. Nightwolf has forbade it.
🥀 Tomàš is a sleepwalker. When he was younger, he used to sleepwalk all over the temple, and he'd always somehow end up waking up in Bi-Han's bed. He never questioned it though.
🥀 Tomàš is the shortest of the group, standing at 5'4. He's also the youngest, having died when he was 24.
🥀 He has a very low singing voice.
🥀 Trans masculine.
🥀 Tomàš can drive (surprisingly)
🥀 Tomàš has achromatopsia, being only able to see in monochrome colors-- so grey, black and white.
Stryker
🪻 Sonya's older brother. Their mother took him when they were little, and moved to New York. She married a police officer, and changed both her and Kurt's last names to Stryker. His stepfather coerced him to join the police force.
🪻 Kurt regularly gives Kabal rocks that he finds interesting.
🪻 Chews his nails when he's nervous. He has to have Kabal or Tomàš pull his hand away from his mouth.
🪻 His favorite song is Dirty Thoughts, which he has sang to Kabal at one point.
🪻 Kurt has a very low alcohol tolerance, but an incredibly high spice tolerance.
🪻 Kurt wakes up November 1 and immediately starts decorating for Christmas. It drives Kabal up the walls.
Liu Kang
🔥 He gets chronic nightmares, always dreaming of the night he and Raiden came back to find most of their allies dying. Now he's mostly paranoid that something will hurt the revenants again.
🔥 Liu Kang sleeps in till noon. Being the champion, he was expected to wake up at dawn and train until dusk. So now, as the emperor of the Netherrealm, Liu Kang sleeps until noon-- or if someone else wakes him.
🔥 Steals other people's (Kung Lao's) clothes.
🔥 Liu Kang can play the kazoo.
🔥 Liu Kang cannot drive (don't let him anywhere near a vehicle please)
Kitana
💙 She sucks at saying tongue twisters. Tomàš had her say one once, and she lifted him in the air with her fans.
💙 She usually always has Jade and Tomàš by her side. Tomàš has become her and Jade's younger brother.
💙 No spice tolerance once so ever.
💙 Kitana needs a nightlight to sleep, so Liu Kang will light a candle before they go to bed.
💙 Tends to crack her knuckles very loudly. She'll do it just randomly, and it will startle at least three people.
Nightwolf
🐺 Nightwolf forgets to eat sometimes. When this happens, usually one of the others will make him a meal and have a glass of water when he wakes up.
🐺 The one responsible for getting the revenants a therapist, because god knows they all need one.
🐺 The oldest of the Earthrealmers, having been 42 when he had died.
🐺 Nightwolf was in a relationship with Fujin when he was still alive, before Shao Kahn's invasion.
🐺 Nightwolf is a top.
Kung Lao
👒 Kung Lao tackles and wrestles people to show affection!
👒 Afraid of doing anything without someone's permission. Too used to living in Liu Kang's shadow, and looking for Raiden's permission.
👒 Nearly drowned in a river once as a child. He has refused to go near any kind of water willingly since.
👒 Great short-term memory, but he has a terrible long-term memory.
👒 Kung Lao is a cat person.
👒 Kung Lao is aromantic.
Jade
💚 She likes to eat straight-up coffee beans. When she does this, she always gets a questioning glance from Kitana, and a look of "hurt" from Stryker, Tomàš and Kabal.
💚 She knocks people over when she hugs them. Poor Tomàš is usually the victim of her hugs, since he didn't get much affection in the Lin Kuei. Kitana knows how to dodge her hugs, and will only hug her if it is something she has initiated.
💚 Jade likes being alone to gather her thoughts, before eventually going to join the others in whatever they've gotten themselves into this time.
💚 Jade is the tallest of the group, standing at 6'4.
💚 Jade has picked up on the habit of telling dad jokes. Everyone else is sick of it.
Kabal
🪽 Kabal doesn't own a single pair of matching socks. It drives Kurt up the walls.
🪽 Being a speedster, Kabal cannot get drunk. And he has tried.
🪽 Kabal listens to 80s music. That is all he listens to.
🪽 Oblivious to any and all romantic interest that is shown to him. It took Stryker three years of flirting, before Kabal realized Kurt was hitting on him.
🪽 Back in the Black Dragon, Kabal almost drank the lethal dosage of caffeine once.
🪽 He was dropped out of a window as a child once.
🪽 He has an extensive comic book collection. Mostly consisting of Marvel and DC comics.
🪽 He ate cement once, when he was still in the Black Dragon. Erron had bet him twenty bucks he wouldn't do it.
