Meet My OC
Figured I should just actually introduce Tora rather than write snippets or have her and Shang Tsung snarking at each other.
I don’t have a picture of her, sorry. I’m not really a visual artist, more a verbal artist.
General Info
Name: Tora Altona
Place of birth: Outworld
Height: 178cm (approx. 5’ 10”)
Hair colour: Orange and black striped like a tiger’s fur (a failed animorph triggered this, her original hair colour was orange)
Eye colour: Gold
Distinguishing features: A series of flogging scars crisscrossing her upper back, a thin scar following the path of her shoulder from collarbone to upper arm, an ourobouros tattoo around her left bicep, three piercings in each ear (two lobe, one helix).
Current residence: Earthrealm
Fighting style: No distinct style, however she does prefer to keep her opponents at a distance where she can employ her weapon and magic to defeat them.
Magic: Elemental, offensive. Would’ve been a battlemage in the Umgadi if her parents had anything to say about it. Also has employ of soul magic (which she almost never uses) thanks to experiments by Shang Tsung involving the Well of Souls (MK11 only, at this stage).
Weapon: A series of enchanted metal spikes called “thorns” that she can engage individually or as a string.
General attire: Three-quarter sleeve shirt, fingerless gloves, cropped hooded jacket, seven-eighth leggings under denim shorts, high-top sneakers, snake-shaped jewellery around her biceps and wrists, three silver chains attached to the belt loops on her left and right hips, thorn pouch fastened to left thigh.
Family history: Once the only daughter of the mercantile Altona family in Outworld who prospered by trading in goods across the realm, Tora is now the only recognised member of the family by Outworld decree. Her mother and father were executed by order of Empress Sindel for financing a failed rebellion against the throne; Tora escaped persecution by proving she was neither involved nor in Outworld at the time. This didn’t stop supporters of the rebellion from threatening her life should she return to Outworld, so she simply stayed in Earthrealm and focused on improving her magic and studying to be a medic.
