Raiden has a staff called Kai's gift, which i think references a midway era character?
One of Jax's Bionic Arms is called Made in Detroit, so that's probably where he is from
One of Noob's sickles is called Blade Of The Sun Emperor, and I DESPERATELY want to know who that is
More credence to the "Kung Lao was meant to be champion" thing, he has a skin called Prodigal Shaolin, another called Chosen First, and one called Original Kombatant (that one might be a ref to the Great Kung Lao tho)
Jade has a skin called Larpadian Sea, which doesn't seam to refer to any real world location and so is probably an Edenian one. Maybe she was born there?
One of Kuai Liang's masks is called Dong Dashen Assassin and I think Dong Dashen is a name? So it could be someone notable that he killed? idk tho
He also has a mask called Enemy of Shirai Ryu
And a mask called Zhuan Zhu's Snowblinder which could be the canonical name of his father or grandfather?
Kung Lao has a hat called Hainan's Favorite Son which doesn't seem to be a given name, but is the name of an island, so that could be where he's from before he joined the Shaolin
Jade has a skin called Eidolon, which both means an idealized person as well as a phantom
Another one of Bi-Han's sickles is called Aggressive Brother, so he probably had anger issues even within the Lin Kuei (not just after becoming noob) and lends credence to my theory that the brothers were always and constantly compared to one another
Kung Lao has a bunch of bracers that reference names of other ppl, but one in particular is called Gift of Lady Mu Guiying who was apparently a real lady who's father took a man prisoner and she decided she liked him so she proposed, fought his father (her future father in law) in a fight to stop him from executing her fiance for saying yes, and then went on to fight in a war. Maybe he's related to her? or the Shaolin just had those bracers and he idolized her? idk but its cool
@rasta-bot has already mentioned this, I think, but Jade has a skin called Chosen of Argus, which given that we know she is connected to Delia, sets up some interesting possibilities. Is she his chosen champion? or (bc we know he cheated on his wife at least once) was he planning on making a move on her?
Kuai Liang has another mask called Bo Lin's Rainmaker, which could be a reference to Hydro, since we only ever learned his mantle, not his actual name.
Erron Black also has a set of pistols called Scorpion & Sub-Zero. He ships it.
Jade has another skin called Covetous Stare, which is interesting since "Covetous" ha never been part of her character
