Motaro: 3/5. Although it is pretty conclusive that he will never return as a playable character, there's just something so awesome about a centaur in a fighting game.

Khameleon: 1/5. She was always a Nintendo exclusive character and well... Does Nintendo even exist anymore?

Chameleon: 1/5. A copycat character, just like his female counterpart, only without any story whatsoever.

Kai: 5/5. Very underappreciated, unique character. The tiger stripes and the hand-walking attacks.

Shinnok: 4/5. So much could be done with him, in my opinion. I'd like to see him ditch the "I'm Shang Tsung Jr." schtick, though, with a possible transformation into his demon self.

Reiko: 5/5. A character I always found very intriguing and would love to return in a more prominent role. Ever since his MK4 ending...

Jarek: 2/5. Kano and Ermac mixed together is just... Weird. He could be made unique, but then again, couldn't every character?

Tanya: 3/5. An interesting character, I suppose, with a boomerang that actually looks like a boomerang.

Fujin: 5/5. Someone I most definitely want to see return. And with his crossbow. I loved that shit.

Meat: 1/5. Just... No.

Bo' Rai Cho: 2/5. I could stomach him if they didn't make a mockery of his very character. He plays such a serious role, but yet shits and pukes himself. What?

Li Mei: 2/5. The one way I'd like to see her return is in a buffer female form. She should look like Chyna from WWF.

Mavado: 4/5. Ditch the hookswords and stick with the grappling hooks and we've got ourselves a pretty unique fighter.

Nitara: 5/5. The only of her kind ever seen. A lot could be innovated with her gameplay and storywise.

Drahmin: 3/5. The mask is awesome and I want more backstory on it. The club is cool too. But the flies gotta go, bruh.

Hsu Hao: 1/5. I don't know what it is about him that I hate so much, but I can't convince myself to feel any other way about him.

Frost: 2/5. Female Sub-Zero. Meh. Show me some unique cryomancer special moves and we'll talk.

Blaze: 2/5. With literally 50% of the roster using pyrokinesis, Blaze seems like overkill to me.

Mokap: 1/5. There's nothing to be said... Seriously.

Moloch: 3/5. A very different character, actually. They should incorporate the owl.

Sareena: 2/5. She's semi-intriguing, but only if Bi-Han is heavily involved with the story.

Havik: 5/5. Yes. An awesome "who knows what the fuck is gonna happen next" guy. Gotta have him.

Shujinko: 2/5. Lame that he just copies everyone else, but I've always envisioned him as a character with no special moves, only a shit ton of kombo attacks.

Hotaru: 4/5. His alternate outfit alone is justification enough. Really cool design.

Ashrah: 3/5. A lot like Raiden in look and moveset, but her story is quite different from anyone elses and the use of her Kriss could be interesting.

Dairou: 1/5. Meh. Just kinda there. Nothing for me here.

Kobra: 1/5. Ken 2.0 shall never return. And no, he's not Erron Black.

Darrius: 1/5. See Dairou above. Ha.

Kira: 1/5. Seriously, by MKD they must've been really cramped for ideas.

Onaga: 3/5. The potential biggest bad of them all. Hard to put his fat ass on screen, but he has possibilities.

Taven: 4/5. I'd love to see him with his Time Stop ability in vs. mode. He isn't that bad if they'd make him look not so... Obvious.

Daegon: 4/5. I personally thought both Daegon and his brother were cool characters. Just need some fine tuning. I like your list. Here's my two cents:

Motaro: I really hope that NRS will see the value of him eventually if not now, as a playable character. I really liked him in MKT as a playable character and with the technology being so much more evolved we can see some really great things from him.

Chameleon/Khameleon, Meat, Mokap: I think it would be fun to see them but I don't think they're necessary. Unless they can make them better somehow.

Kai, Fujin, Frost, Blaze, Nitara, : I agree all the way.

Shinnok: I'd give him a 5/5 because I feel that he didn't get a good enough chance. He went from MK4/G to Armageddon without much knowledge of his whereabouts.

Reiko: You're right on the dot.

Jarek: I'll give him a 3/5. I feel that his character had great potential but it didn't work out because people wanted Kano rather than Jarek.

Tanya: Yeah. I think she needs to be improved before she joins the cast. Story and all.

Bo' Rai Cho: I really liked the comic relief of him but I see what you're saying. He's basically supposed to be a Raiden type with a weight problem as well as the inability to control his bodily functions.

Li Mei: I don't know, man. I'd hate to see her ruined by making her more manly.

Mavado and Hsu Hao: They're pretty much dead. I suppose they could be making it so that they would come back as cool looking wraiths in another game.

Moloch: Much like Mavado and Hsu Hao, he's pretty much dead but I wonder if there's more to that.

The rest I agree. I wouldn't mind seeing anyone who was "meh" as long as they were modified.
