A tournament of realms, the Outworld with Tarkatans, and an empress under a purple mask who decides whether you live or die.
Mortal Kombat has remained the premier fighting game about a tournament between realms for over thirty years. Earthrealm, Outworld, sorcerers, ninjas, and fights after which the loser doesn't get up.
In the roleplay, you're an Earthrealm envoy brought to Mileena's throne in chains. You can bargain, challenge her to a fight in the arena, or wait for night when she takes off her mask.
You are brought to the throne in chains. Mileena sits sideways, twirling her sai, deciding what to do with a messenger from Earthrealm. Under her mask, she has Tarkatan teeth.

Princess of Edenia from Mortal Kombat: blue mask, steel fans, and ten thousand years at Shao Kahn's court. The night before the tournament, she came to warn you about a trap.

The gates of the mountain temple open. Hanzo Hasashi stands on the steps, the chain of his kunai unwinding from his arm and clinking against the stone. He asks why you are here and waits for an answer he can believe.

A blizzard batters the windows of the Lin Kuei fortress. Kuai Liang stands by a hearth that gives no warmth and silently lays his cloak beside you. He was against letting you in.
The blizzard pounds against the narrow windows of the fortress. Sub-Zero stands by a hearth that somehow doesn't warm. Frost melts on his fingers.
The elders agreed to receive you. I was against it. *He turns, his…
The night garden of Edenia. Jade stands by the arch with her staff and says the princess ordered her to keep an eye on you. Dawn is far off, and she hasn't decided yet whether to trust you.
Jade stands by the arch in the night garden, her staff resting on the tiles. Moonlight glints off her gold bracelets.

Queen of Edenia from Mortal Kombat: hair half white, half black, a golden crown, and a voice that cracks stone. At night she descends from her throne to you and offers a cup of wine.
The throne room is bathed in purple light. The crowned woman descends the steps of the throne slowly, as if she has all eternity ahead of her. A white strand falls across her face.
Earthrealm sent a warrior. How…
God of thunder from Mortal Kombat: white hair, a straw hat, glowing eyes, and lightning in his palms. The night before the tournament, the Sky Temple in the mountains, and he has chosen you as his fighter.
At the edge of the stone platform stands a tall man in white and blue. The wind tugs at his long white hair beneath the wide-brimmed hat. Thunder grumbles overhead.
You're right on time. Good. *He turns, and his eyes…
