Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Daddy's Girl: Johnny did the biggest share of Cassie's raising, and in return she adores him. she gets hilariously angry with Jacqui when she notes how much of a Silver Fox he is.
Strong Family Resemblance: On one hand, Cassie has her father Johnny's devil-may-care and saarcastic attitude. On the other, looks-wise she is terrifyingly like her mother Sonya.
Well Done Daughter Girl: Regarding Sonya. Her mother is not a bad person, not at all, but she's quite the WorkaholicIce Queen after the crap she and others have gone through in the last decades and Cassie has complicated feelings on her.
Jacqueline Sonya "Jacqui" Briggs
Action Girl: Her dad, honorary uncle/aunt duo and best friend are quite the badasses, sooooo...
Badass Gay: His homosexuality was implied in the Story Mode and some pre-fight dialogues, and confirmed by the devs.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He has a serious attitude problem and can be a massive asshole, but his heart is in the right place most of the time.
Street Urchin: After the death of his cousin and Big Brother Mentor Kung Lao, his family went through quite the rough patches. Jin himself spent quite a while as this before he tried to steal a Tragic Keepsake from Raiden and the Thunder God, after subjecting him to a Secret Test of Character, told him to join the Shaolin.
Kotal Kahn
All Myths Are True: In-story, in a way. In the past he spent many years in Earth, becoming the Mayan's God of War Buluc-Chabtan.
Anti-Villain: He's trying to do what's best for Outworld. Outworld, not Earth. In Chapter 11, he turns on the heroes because he don't believes Shinnok can be defeated now and the best option he have is to appease to him so he can buy time.
Benevolent Boss: He treats his subordinates more or less well as long as they're loyal to him. This earns him Reptile's genuine respect. The trailers for MK11 show that he also gained Baraka's loyalty like this.
Despair Event Horizon: In Chapter 11, he lost all hopes of victory, at least immediately, once he hears Shinnok is back, and decides to beat up Earth warriors to try to appease to the fallen Elder God, despite the fact Shinnok's past behaviour indicates he wasn't going to spare anyone.
Fatal Flaw: It's not easy to get him angry, but when he IS, he becomes near completely irrational.
Shown Their Work: For all of the Did Not Do the Research deals that sometimes plague the MK games, the developers got his ties to Mayan society / culture / mythology more or less right.
The Mole: She joined Kotal as a way of obtaining the medallion Mileena holds for Quan Chi.
The Starscream: Kotal Kahn makes her his Prime-Minister without knowing she is actually working for Shinnok.
Walking Spoiler: Going too deep in D'Vorah's motivations spoils an important chunk of the plot.
Erron Black
Amazon Chaser: He likes his ladies not only hot, but also physically and mentally strong. He openly admits it to Sonya.
Anti-Villain: He willing to do whatever his boss says. Given that is Kotal Khan at present, who is the loosest form of Anti-Hero at best, that means he'll kick puppies so long as he paid to do it.
Crazy Prepared: Has a custom bullet for everyone he fights, himself included.
Mirror Match: In a bizarre case of Properly Paranoid and Crazy Prepared, he's prepared for this, with a bullet for his opponent with the words "Me" on it for just such an event.
Only in It For the Money: He's a hired mercenary, but he quite loyal to whoever supplies his paycheck, currently that being Kotal Khan.
Really Seven Hundred Years Old: He a cowboy from Earth who got his age extended by Shang Tsung at one point, so he's at least a century or two old and barely looks middle aged.
Ferra/Torr
Dumb Muscle: Played with. Torr doesn't speak much to give any indication of how smart he is, but Ferra's simplistic speech, low level of intelligence and aggressive demeanor makes the duo complete the trope for each other.
Gentle Giant: Torr plays with Ferra in one of his match win animations. Oh, so adorable. Now, the rest of existence will not receive such kindness.
The Big Guy: Torr serves as this for Kotal's team, being the bigger and more muscular member of his Five-Man Band.
The Nicknamer: Ferra not only has the level of intelligence of Taokaka, but the same tendency to call everyone by nicknames.
An Ice Person: If using the Cyber Sub-Zero variation.
Non-Indicative Name: It is actually four cyborgs, not three. However, considering that Smoke was never transformed into a cyborg, the trope is kind of zig-zagged.
Not So Different: Don't understands Ermac's disgust for him when they're both artificial creatures. Ermac answers by boasting he's the vessel for an army, showing he doesn't know how to properly counter Triborg's accusation.
Unwilling Roboticisation: If he finds his opponent worthy of it, he express his willingness to make them join them, no matter if they don't want it.
