at this rate, I'm gonna just look through the mk11 equipment and skins until dawn, but I got more, lets go
Bi-Han also has two masks: Oni Guardian and Oni Champion, implying that he worked closely with the Oni during his time in the Netherrealm
One of Kitana's masks is called Handmaid of Delia and she has a sai called the Finger of Delia, so it isn't just Jade that is connected to the Edenian Goddess.
She also has a mask called Priestess of Ashrah, so that implies that Ashrah became a goddess somehow at some point, and says a lot about their relationship
One of Jade's triblade things is called Ynyr's Last hope, and Ynyr is a Welsh name. Either they want to use that as an Edenian/Outworlder name, or Jade met a Welshman at some point
Kuai Liang has a mask called Outworld Cryomancer too, which implies that the cryomancers Sindel banished weren't banished from Edenia, but from Outworld
Four of Kitana's Sai are named after Mileena, (and a fifth references her)
Another of Jade's triblades is called Jobashel's final gift and she's got skins called Daughter of Prince Jobashel (so thats her dad) and Pride of Edenia, and Daughter of Edenia's Pride so she's not just Kitana's bodyguard, but a princess in her own right and why tf is that not brought up more? Why is she never called a princess in canon?
Kitana has a fan called Jerrod's Funeral Fan, which opens up some interesting questions about Edenian funeral practices
Baraka has a skin called Victor of Seven Tribes and that has so much potential for worldbuilding. Does Tarkata have seven tribes? Why is he the Victor?
Kabal has a skin called Mavado's Slayer and a sword set called Mavado's Torment, so that's probs how Mavado died, good to know
Sonya has a skin called Army Brat, and it's referenced elsewhere that one of her parents was military, I think, but I can't remember where. Either way, explains a lot about her.
D'Vorah has a mask called Dairou's Ally, which refers to a character that apparently was never in the game? but he's Seidan which begs the question of how they met and why
Skarlet has a skin called The Becoming which is ominous and I wanna know what it means. Possibly a reference to the lie Havk told her on the island of blood?
Kabal also has a skin called Appalachia and another called Mountain Son, so I'm assuming that's where he's from
Baraka has a skin called New Prince of Outworld so like...did Tarkata become an independent kingdom? He was a general, not royalty, so what's that about?
Baraka has another skin called King of the Kuatan, which is where the Shokan live, so this implies that he married into their royalty
One of Skarlet's skins is called Shao Kahn's Vessel....WTF DOES THAT MEAN? does she like...have his soul tucked away somewhere? did she drink his blood and can thus now revive him if and when she chooses? the possibilities are endless!
She also has a vial called Sacred Seed of Shao Kahn which...ew
Kabal also has a skin called Plague of Point Pleasant, so its safe to say he had a noodle incident there
Half of Cassie's skins are about how she's from California. Creative, NRS, real creative.
One of Kabals gas cannisters is called Erron Black's Magic Bullet, so that implies that Erron Black has some engineering skill
Baraka has a skin called Mileena's Consort so them sleeping together wasn't just a rumor (which is how you could interpret the way it was brought up in mkx) but actually happened
Kitana has a mask called Rain's Enemy, and I don't think it's just bc he sided with Mileena, we know he wants the Edenian throne for himself after all, so maybe they clashed over that?
