However, I like the idea of Shao Kahn not being in the game due to back tracking but then the battle of Armageddon would then cause his resurrection as an end scene.

I would like to look at your list you had above and rearrange a couple of things.

For the Forces of Darkness:

I would add Smoke only because of the whole undead thing.

For the Forces of Light:

I would add Ashrah, Ermac, Erron Black, Ferra, Frost, Kotal Kahn, Jade, Moloch, Reptile, and Torr.

Ashrah was the only character I didn't notice you put in. Ermac, Erron Black, Ferra/Torr, Kotal Kahn, and Reptile because of their involvement against Mileena and running Outworld together and actually running it "fairly/justly". Frost because I think Sub-Zero will set her right. Jade because I think there's a reason why she wasn't in MKX and I think it has something to do with the Mysterious Woman. Moloch because I think he'll join due to his problem with Quan Chi. And Ferra/Torr was separated because I can see Ferra and Torr being their own fighters and Ferra being almost as big as Torr due to the Ferra/Torr ending in MKX. I know that it's probably not canon but it could be semi-canon.

I think Blaze should be the sub-boss and the Mysterious Woman be the boss. I put Smoke on Forces of Light under the early assumption he would be ressurected. I put Ermac, Erron Black, Ferra/Torr, Kotal Kahn and Reptile on the Forces of Darkness based on the fact they fought against the heroes in the end and are neutral. In Armageddon the Forces of Darkness had both evil and neautral characters. As for Ashrah, she has yet to appear. Smoke - I see what you're saying but I would only assume that he won't be resurrected by the next game but I can see him being resurrected if the next game isn't an Armageddon remake. Forces of Darkness - I see what you're saying and you're right about the neutral vs. evil thing. There were some I felt didn't make sense. In fact, there was not a whole lot of realistic turnouts with the Forces of Darkness alliance. Too many people who didn't mesh well.

Ashrah - Yes, she hasn't appeared in the current timeline yet but I'm assuming that all characters from 1 - 10 (and beyond) will appear in the Armageddon game. I can only imagine that the next Armageddon game will be a collective like Trilogy and the first Armageddon game. Well Scorpion joined to get close to Quan Chi and kill him when the time was right. In the battle he was buying time. I don't think the next game will be Armageddon. Onaga's next in line. This list consists only of the characters that we do know exist in the new timeline. One thing that may be interesting is how these aliiances are built in story mode. Good point. To add to all of our thoughts, I hope that there's more alliances instead of just two really big ones though. Make them all make sense. What other faction would you put in? Instead of the Forces of Light and Forces of Darkness it would just be different factions on all sides. Netherrealm, Outworld Royalty, Raiden's Forces, Special Forces, Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu, Edenian Resistance, Black and or Red Dragon, Chaosrealm, and Seiden Rebellion. Cool idea but might get confusing if there's an opening cinematic battle like last time. I'm sure there would be an opening. Regardless, if it's anything like the opening of Armageddon, it will be epic and probably more so. Although, I'm sure, just to simplify things, the opening would have something like one versus another. Another problem I noticed would be some of those factions would be too small unless new members are intoduced. The Red Dragon has only three playable members and there's only one playable character from the Chaosrealm. Good point. The problem with the Red Dragon is why I put them in with the Black Dragon as an "and/or" situation. What if they had an alliance together? Who knows? And yes, there is a problem with the Chaosrealm thing. What if the reason why the non-canonical dialog with Raiden fighting himself and him saying that he's the protector of Chaosrealm is because Boon is planning on having a backstory for Raiden to betray Earthrealm, have Fujin become the new protector of Earthrealm, and Raiden to become the new protector of Chaosrealm because they welcome his chaotic ways? Hmm. Intresting. If Daegon and Kano agree to cooperate, it might be an even more uneasy alliance then the Deadly Allaince because of the history between the crime syndicates. And with Raiden going crazy, he might switch to another realm and since as far as I know the Chaosrealm has no protector, Raiden could fill it in and ressurect Havik if he can find a way to use Necromancy. I also think that if Havik is resurected it should be revealed he was under a spell in the comics. Trying to control others as he does in the comics, is a form of order. For sure. When it comes to Daegon and Kano, yes, it would be uneasy but then at that point we get the Deadly Alliance spin for the next game as well as the Deception spin. When it comes to Raiden, I like that. He did resurrect Liu Kang so I can only imagine him doing the same thing with Havik.
