To talk more about the Mortal Kombat RE AU (Mortal Evil for short) my twin and I are working on, here's the basics I got down. (This is infecting my brain dude).
It will sort of be Johnshi centered as they're the catalyst of the story, but it's not the only ship. Taleena will be included as a parallel to them, which @yxnswife came up with. They both will meet tragic ends.
The OIA will be an umbrella rebrand, which Kenshi used to work for. This is inspired by Amara's idea for Kenshi to be a Mia parallel cause of both of them working for corrupt groups and my idea for Johnny to be kidnapped like Mia.
The OIA would've messed with tarkat and created what I call moldy tarkat in replacement of the mold from RE7
Cassie, Takeda, and Jacqui do exist here, with Cassie and Takeda being twins. Thank Amara for that, their brain in amazing. Also Johnny, Kenshi, Sonya, and Jax are a power polycule. Also Amara's idea.
Shang Tsung is the big bad, having been behind the moldy tarkat. It is created after he takes over the OIA
Kenshi, taking after Ethan, is infected. But unlike him, Kenshi dies as a mercy kill after he kills Johnny.
The characters that aren't the important characters and big bad of this AU are part of a small apocalypse commune group.
That's pretty much all the important basic info. If you want to know more, feel free to send a question. This AU is so exciting.
