"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. Oh, I see regarding Chameleon.

Also, the reason for my idea for Kai's retconned backstory is because he hardly had any in the original timeline. They only said that Kai was one of the last remaining members of the White Lotus Society, and joined Liu Kang in his expedition to kill Shinnok. That's it, really.

Also, I remember he was supposed to appear at one point in MKX's story mode, but was replaced by Bo' Rai Cho. Although, a part of me is kind of happy he didn't make it in, since (in the scene he was meant to be in) Bo' Rai Cho got tortured by Shinnok and the Revenants, and his current status is unknown at this point in time. Though, I refuse to believe they would kill Bo' Rai Cho off that fast. I mean, we never really see what became of him after Shinnok did his thing. Shinnok merely said "When he dies, I will claim his soul." Regardless, I refuse to believe Bo' Rai Cho died. I mean, it's not like what happened with Motaro in MK9, because Motaro had an onscreen death, while Bo' Rai Cho's fate is left ambiguous.
