Name: Shun

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Bio: It had long been Shun's dream to join the Shirai Ryu and train under Hanzo Hasashi. The dream was cut short by Shao Kahn's invasion. Before he and his family could escape the Tarkatan soldiers overrunning their village, one of those soldiers appeared before them. The Tarkatan took Shun's eye, and killed his mother, but then his father drew his sword and stopped the Tarkatan from bringing any further harm to his son. Shun took the opportunity to run away like he had never ran before. He found a safe place where he fashioned an eye patch from the fabric of his clothes, and waited out the remaining days. He came out into the first Netherrealm war only to watch the body of his father collapse out of a cloud of smoke with a throwing star in the shape of the Lin Kuei emblem in his skull. The then looked up to watch the smoke turn human. It was Smoke of the Lin Kuei, but as Quan Chi's revenant Enenra. Smoke mocked the death of Shun's father saying that "he was already a dead man, I, simply finished what the Tarkatan did not". Before Smoke was able to kill the boy, a Red Dragon soldier intervened and took Shun to the clan's safehaven. Once they got there, the ugly truth was revealed to the ten-year-old boy.

It was then Shun decided to make his commitment to become a loyal Red Dragon warrior. He grew up among them, learning to call them his new family. He learned to forge his own weapons and trained himself in the ways of Mortal Kombat. He often took inspiration from Daegon to continue despite having lost an eye. He utilizes an unusual, self-taught style of Ninjutsu good for his kama, shurikens and katana. By the time Shun had grown up, he was the most lethal assassin known to the Red Dragon clan. This ninja warrior fights for Earthrealm and the Red Dragon clan, but he will never forgive the Lin Kuei for destroying his childhood dreams, and taking his father's life, nor will he forget that it was Outworld forces that destroyed his village and killed his mother.

Appearance: A tall man with a similar body shape to Kenshi, but with short, dark, somewhat messy hair. A scar goes through his right eye, and a cloth eye patch covers it. He wears a conventional ninja garb, but not a mask, with the emblem of the Red Dragon clan on the back. He has a holster on his back for his katana, and two on his belt for his kama.

X-ray: Shun delivers a powerful roundhouse kick to his opponent's stomach, sending them stumbling back. He then appears behind and throws roped shurikens at his opponent's back, puncturing the spine. Then he jerks his opponent back, turns them to face him, and uppercuts their jaw, breaking it. Finally, he draws his katana, jumps up after them, and shoves it through his opponent's chest as he pulls them down to the ground.

Fatality 1: Shun jumps over the opponent, draws his kama, and as he lands behind, he uses them to cut off the opponent's arms. He then throws several shurikens into his opponent's back, skull, and vertebrae. Then he walks ahead until the opponent falls to their knees, then kicks his opponent in the chest so they fall back on top of the shurikens. He leaves his opponent there with the shurikens poking out of the front of his opponent. Shun wins! FATALITY!

Fatality 2: Shun slowly unsheathes his katana, then dashes past his opponent. He dashes back and forth with his katana out, slicing through his opponent several times. After one final dash, he uses his garbs to clean his blade of the blood before sheathing it back into its holster. After it is in its holster, his opponent falls into many sliced up pieces. Shun wins! FATALITY!

Personality: Shun is an honorable warrior, loyal to the Red Dragon clan, but he may be easily frustrated. If someone makes fun of how he "made up his own fighting style just to use all the ninja weapons" a fight can be sure to follow. He bears a heavy grudge against Outworld for leading the invasion that lost him his home and his mother, and against the Lin Kuei clan for the mass genocide on the Shirai Ryu and for killing his father.

Fun Fact: The Japanese kanji "Shun" translates to "speed," "quick," or "instant".
