Ok, so I get it, good vs. evil is never clear in MK. Afterall, the "heroes" kill their enemies and, occasionally, each other. But there seem to be some characters firmly entrenched in one category or another. For example, Bo' Rai Cho and Sonya seem to be aligned with the light. Whereas, Mileena and Shao Kahn are/were firmly members of the dark. However, with many of the other characters it is hard to tell.

First, there is Tanya. As an Edenian, we expected her to serve the "good" elder gods. And, she appeared to, at least at first. Then we come to know that she secretly is serving Outworld/Shao Kahn/Shinnok. And after the death of Shao Kahn, she serves Mileena and Shinnok. But I don't think of her as a villian. I think she is merely a mercenary, doing what it takes to survive. And, she seems to have some good in her as she tries to release the souls trapped inside Ermac. What does everyone think?

Then, there is Ashrah. Clearly born as a demon in the Netherealm. However, she rebels, discovers the Kriss and destroys enough demons to ascend from the Netherealm. But she does so selfishly and not for the greater good. So, while I don't see her as a villian, she doesn't actually appear "good" to me. Any thoughts?

Finally, we have Erron Black. Like Tanya, he is a mercenary. Actually, even more clearly so than Tanya. Howver, while he does his work for money, he seems to truly enjoy "the dark side." He doesn't appear to have any redeeming qualities. Anyone elese have an opinion?

Ok. there is my first post on the forum, I hope it makes sense, isn't too long and is worthy of conversation :).
