Mortal Kombat: Deception/Characters


Here, we're going to list the characters introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deception and Mortal Kombat Unchained.

Dairou

  • Badass Long Hair
  • Bald of Awesome: In the front with a ponytail in the back.
  • Bling Bling Bang: His ending in Armageddon. Dairou is awarded with an invulnerable suit of armor than burns any who try to attack him. He uses this gift to defeat Shao Kahn, claim the throne to Outworld, and then propose a truce between Edenia and Earthrealm.
  • Dead Little Sister: Or rather, his whole family.
  • Eye Scream: One of his Fatalities involves him ripping out two of his foe's ribs and then gouging their eyes out with them.
  • Facial Markings: On his forehead.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars: On the side of his head.
  • Ground Pound: Has a move where he falls backwards and slams himself into the ground hard enough to knock his opponent into the air.
  • Morality Pet: His former guardsman Hotaru would seem to be this, as Dairou is hesitant to kill him. Subverted in that his Deception ending has him killing Hotaru anyway, but Dairou at least announces his intent to kill him beforehand.
  • Wild Card: As a mercenary, he doesn't care about the cause, as long as he's sufficiently paid.


Ashrah

Darrius


Havik

  • Ambiguously Human: He has half his face ripped off, and he can bend in ways that would kill most people, but it's unclear if he's some sort of zombie or if that's normal for Chaosrealmers.
  • Arch Enemy: Hotaru.
  • Ax Crazy
  • Blue and Orange Morality: For him, Freedom and Chaos are synonymous and any sort of order is an affront to his definition of freedom. This is best demonstrated in why he seeks to aid Shao Kahn against Onaga. Despite the fact that both rulers are brutal in their governing style (with Shao Kahn possibly more so) and also share the goals of annexing other realms into Outworld, however, Shao Kahn has no interest in the everyday activities of those he has subjugated (at least as long as they don't fail to pay him tribute nor seek to revolt against him) whereas Onaga is a Visionary Villain who is very interested in organizing the realms to his liking. Thus, the latter's effort to suppress chaos leads him to join with Shao Kahn by default.
  • The Cameo: Appears in Noob Saibot's Mortal Kombat 9 ending.
  • Clothes Make the Maniac
  • Cloudcuckoolander
  • The Corrupter: Implied to be this for Kabal. Kabal had reformed since 3, but when Havik resuscitated him after Mavado's attack, he was somehow able to rekindle Kabal's anarchist ideals.
  • Dem Bones: One of his specials is a phantasmal projectile in the form of a skull.
  • For the Evulz: Or perhaps it would be better to say For The Chaoz. Havik only seeks to stir up as much chaos as possible, making him a Foil to both the heroes and villains.
  • Grievous Harm with a Body: His Batter Up Fatality consists of Havik tearing off his opponent's leg and then using it to knock their head off.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: His Human Pencil Sharpener Fatality. His mouth is the pencil sharpener, by the way. When his meal is finished, Havik actually chokes on and regurgitates some meat chunks.
  • In the Hood: His alt.
  • I Reject Your Reality: Fancies himself to be Above Good and Evil, and just going around to spread chaos and anarchy.
  • Meaningful Name: Exactly What It Says on the Tin, really.
  • Monochromatic Eyes
  • Neck Snap: One of his moves has him do this to himself. And it heals him.
  • Nice Headdress: Emblematic of his status as a cleric of Chaos.
  • Rubber Man: To an extent. Havik can freely contort his body allowing him to do such feats like twisting his torso like a corkscrew and snapping his own neck to regain health. In order to keep things fair, he's still affected by Fatalities that invoke breaking limbs.
  • Stealth Mentor/Sink or Swim Mentor: For Shujinko in Konquest Mode. In order to teach the man, he has to go all out and be unpredictable. Whereas Shujinko thought it was an unpredictable and unorthodox training exercise masked as a fight to the death, Havik explicitly tells him that he was indeed trying to kill him.
  • This Is Gonna Suck: If he's knocked off of the Sky Tower in Deception, Havik will briefly stop screaming to proclaim, "Man, this is gonna suck!" before resuming his scream.
  • The Unfettered: As noted under Blue and Orange Morality, he despises any sort of order of which includes moral restraint.


Hotaru

"There is an order to the universe... laws that all of nature must obey."


Kira


Shujinko


Kobra

Kobra was a martial arts student from Manhattan. He was adept at fighting, but he was curious how much damage he could really do in a fight. He took to the streets and found the thrill of kombat irresistible. He began fighting gangbangers and drug dealers, but his Blood Lust was ever growing, and so he began killing indiscriminately. When the police were taking him to jail for his crimes, Kabal and Kira broke him out and recruited him to the Black Dragon. He joined, eager to take his violence to higher levels.



Onaga

  • Assimilation Plot: Unknowingly under the influence of the One Being, he has plans of fusing all reality into himself.
  • Back from the Dead: During his fight with Shujinko, Nightwolf casts a sealing spell that drags Onaga's essence out of Reptile's body and down into the Netherrealm. Shinnok later releases him in exchange for his cooperation. He also possesses the ability to constantly resurrect his mooks, thus their reputation for being invincible.
  • Berserk Button: Shao Kahn. His white-hot hatred for his backstabbing former adviser makes the Scorpion/Sub-Zero rivalry look tame. In the intro to Armageddon, Onaga is nowhere to be seen while the other combatants duke it out in a battle royale. Where does he come in? Swooping down to interrupt Shang Tsung's battle with Shao Kahn just so that he can be the one to give Shao Kahn his just desserts.
  • Big Bad: He is the main villain and Final Boss of Deception.
    • Bigger Bad: He was the original ruler of Outworld before Shao Khan.
  • Blow You Away: The flap of his wings generates enough gust to push opponents away as the Dragon King propels backwards.
  • Boss Arena Idiocy: Both played straight and subverted. If you try to tackle Onaga head-on, he'll probably come across as a SNK Boss. However, if you walk into one of the six Kamidogu located in the corners of his arena, Onaga will immediately be knocked out of any attack he was attempting and will kneel over in a pain for a second, opening him up for a free combo. However, the Kamidogu don't regenerate between rounds, so you only get six shots in all of opening up a can of whup-ass on Onaga before you have to resort to fighting him fairly. Also, his arena contains a Death Trap; you can't knock him into the spikes, but he can knock you into them if you're by the edge.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: He does this to the five fallen heroes in Deception, making them his slaves. The five heroes being Kitana, Kung Lao, Jax, Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade.
  • Breath Weapon: He's the Dragon King. What did you expect?
  • Chekhov's Gunman: Mentioned in Deadly Alliance, rises to prominence in Deception.
    • He was originally planned to appear in Deadly Alliance, but was cut as the designers wanted to focus on the titular villains.
  • Cool Helmet
  • Eldritch Abomination: Concept art indicates that he would have become the One Being in his ending.
  • Eviler Than Thou: Pulls this on the Deadly Alliance, and in Armageddon gets into an argument with Shao Kahn over which of them is The Emperor.
  • Evil Overlord: The one who preceded Shao Kahn as the ruler of Outworld.
  • Iconic Logo: He's the dragon of the Mortal Kombat logo.
  • The Juggernaut: All the dialogue states that while he had the six kamidogu, he was invincible.
  • Large and In Charge: The largest character in the series.
  • Manipulative Bastard: "Oh hai, Shujinko. My name's Damashi, and I'm here to tell you that you're the Elder God's Champion, fated to embark on a great adventure!" This is Deception's Konquest Mode in a nutshell.
  • Mascot: Word of God stated that he was the reason why Mortal Kombat has a dragon as its symbol.
  • Meaningful Name: He's the Dragon King, and his name is made up of the Japanese word for king and the Sanskrit word for serpent.
  • Mighty Glacier: Onaga is big and slow, but his blows are stronger than any character in the game, and he is immune to projectiles.
  • Monster Modesty: Doubles as Modest Royalty, only wearing a helmet and few pieces of armor.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: Due to the influence of the One Being, he aims to merge all reality into himself.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: He walks on two legs, is mostly humanoid in appearance, and the Shokan are supposedly his half-breed offspring.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: Thanks to Shao Kahn's assassination, he's dead by the series proper until he Shujinko gathers the Kamidogu.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene
  • Winged Humanoid
  • Won't Work On Me: Projectiles are damn near useless against Onaga. This is even foreshadowed in Deception's intro cinematic, where he takes the full brunt of the combined powers of Raiden, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi and brushes it off quite effortlessly.
