Wow! This looks like a pretty epic roster. Here's my two cents.

1. I feel like there are a lot of new characters and if NRS were to do this game then they should justify why there are so many new characters. I would even say that a lot of those human characters should be ancestors of the current human roster.

2. I like that you added both Scorpion and Sub-Zero. I would even say that this would be a great opportunity to explain the Scorpion entity and have this Sub-Zero be an ancestor and show him being 1 of 4 or 5 mentionable Sub-Zeros. In this case, I would even have Noob Saibot and an ancestor of Smoke (most likely an Enenra) be in the roster also. Noob Saibot could be an entity.

3. I'm confused about why you added Shao Kahn instead of Shang Tsung. During the time of the Great Kung Lao, it was Shang Tsung that Kung Lao went up against and won. Unless that was a mistake?

4. Vampire, Saurian, Tarkatan, and Edenian. Why couldn't they be the ones you mentions couldn't be the ones? Nitara, being a vampire, should be immortal and she is the last of her race. I would even add Kahil Grigesh and have someone kill him off in the game. Reptile is pretty old as far as in years. He could be hundreds of years old. Maybe even add Chameleon. Baraka is half Outworlder and they last thousands of years. Kitana is 10,000 years old and so is Jade. Tanya could be right around that age too. Also, this would be an excellent chance to retcon Mileena (or at least bring her back to the original concept before MK9) and say that she is Kitana's "sister".

5. Also, unless she's being mentioned and shown in flashbacks, Sindel is dead.

And...

6. I really like that Goro is an NPC. I would even have both him and King Gorbak being introduced at the end after Kung Lao wins and Shang Tsung goes back to Outworld with his tail in between legs. And even Shao Kahn would have to be an NPC that repremands Shang Tsung.
