"Kai was born somewhere in East Africa in a war torn area (this is when he was a child). He'd then get saved by Shaolin Monks after his parents were killed by rebels. He then grows up in the White Lotus Society to help escape the perils he endured as a child in his homeland. I could also imagine following the ways of the Gurkha warrior class."

What are your thoughts on this? I think it sounds possible. Not saying it'll ever happen, but ya know. Don't get me wrong. I kind of like the idea of Chameleon becoming a grand champion. I was merely wondering why you chose him.

As far as Kai goes, I think NRS is trying to keep everyone's back stories the same regardless of what happened to Mileena from the last game. I like the idea of Kai being rescued by the Shaolin Monks but purhaps sometime after Liu Kang's death.
