Here are the characters that were introduced in this game. For the remaining ones, check the MK1, MK2, MK3, MK9 and MKX character sheets.
Kronika[]
- Abusive Parents - Evil Matriarch: Towards her children, Cetrion and Shinnok, whom she shamelessly uses in her plans without any scruples. Heck, almost at the end she has Cetrion slay the Elder Gods and sacrifice her own existence to empower her
- Asshole Victim: Kronika got her just deserts courtesy of Shang Tsung in Aftermath.
- Bald Women: Like D'Vorah, she has zero hair on her head.
- Big Bad: Set off the events of the game because she believes Raiden's actions ruined her work's "perfection", the old time line. And isn't above allying herself with Shao Kahn to fight against Raiden.
- Blue and Orange Morality: The old time line not only ends with Shao Kahn winning, the presumed unification of all realms would destroy reality as the characters know it and reform "The One". Yet, Kronika thinks there's something "perfect" around it.
- Chekhov's Gunman: She was actually seen before in the games! As it turns out, she is. . . the woman who took over Jade's body in her MK9 ending AND the divine entity who sent Kitana visions of other realities in her MKX one.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Kronika may be a conniving, narcissistic Control Freak desiring nothing but to bend everything to her will, she expresses nothing but contempt towards Shang Tsung and even considers him a liability. In fact, the reason Kronika banished Tsung to the Void shows how she is well-aware of what an unrepentant backstabber he really is and will stop at nothing at double-crossing his so-called allies until there's no one left for him to betray, which led to the deaths of Shao Kahn and Sindel.
- Expy: Kronika is basically Ragyo Kiryuin as an Elder God.
- Gold and White Are Divine: She is the goddess of time and wears golden armour over a white dress.
- Hoist by Her Own Petard: Summoning younger versions of Liu Kang and Kung Lao turns out to NOT have been the best decision, since both of them ally themselves with Raiden instead..
- It's All About Me - Lack of Empathy: Pretty much her mottos. All the timelines will be rewritten to HER whim, everyone (her children included) will obey HER desires, etc. etc.
- Our Gods Are Greater: She is Cetrion and Shinnok's mother, and therefore, a deity. More exactly: she's one of the Titans, a race of deities that came before the Elder Gods and all other races.
- Properly Paranoid: Aftermath reveals that she's not very fond of Shang Tsung of all people, it makes a lot of sense when she learns that he, Fujin, and Nightwolf escaped from the Void.
- Set Right What Once Went Wrong: She didn't like the outcome of Mortal Kombat X events, so she decides to go back in time to stop them.
- Time Stands Still: Able to do this.
Geras[]
- Affably Evil: Polite, softspoken, somewhat honor-bound. . .
- And I Must Scream: In Chapter 11, Raiden makes him sink in the Sea of Blood. Since Geras can't die by drowning, Kronika can't resurrect him. Also, the sea is bottomless, so his chances of escaping are basically zero. Of course, with Liu Kang replacing Kronika and reshaping the universe's timeline, what happens to him may as well be a Riddle for the Ages; one of his normal quotes against Scorpion, however, implies he did eventually find his way out... by being Eaten Alive by a Leviathan..
- In his tower ending, Geras reveals he has gotten tired of being resurrected again and again by Kronika, and turned on her in the hope he could create a perfect timeline and rest.
- Alternate Company Equivalent: He's a black man with time powers who is implied to have the capacity to reincarnate. Hello, Zasalamel.
- Badass Baritone: As deep-voiced as he's badass.
- Been There, Shaped History: He's existed for so long, he cannot help´follwoing this. ie., he tells Erron Black that he was in The Wild West and was shot by none other than Wyatt Earp, and he also fought the Great Kung Lao.
- Co-Dragons: He and Cetrion are this to Kronika.
- Dishing Out Dirt: Manipulates sand to fight.
- Icy Blue Eyes: Offering a stunning contrast with his dark skin.
- Resurrective Immortality: Kill him, and in question of seconds he will reconstruct himself and, worse, will have learned of his mistakes.
- Scary Black Man: A dark-skinned man on the side of Kronika, though eh downplays it by being The Stoic rather than an Angry Black Man.
- Turned Against Their Masters: In Tower mode he turns against Kronika because he is sick of her reviving him again and again and again....
Cetrion[]
- Affably Evil: Calm, more or less polite, and quite vicious in-story. i.e, in a Tower Mode talk against Liu Kang he tells her that he used to pray to the Elder Gods as a child and she replies that she always listened to said prayers.
- Anti-Villain: She's not completely on board with Kronika's plans, but still follows her because she is her mother and her love and loyalty to her override all her doubts... to the point of slaying her fellow Elder Gods and then sacrificing herself to empower Kronika, all on Kronika's orders. The newly deified Liu Kang lampshades it via noticing how hesitant she is to actually fight him in the Story Mode.
- Boobs of Steel: Has a large chest AND is an accomplished fighter.
- Co-Dragons: She and Geras are this to Kronika.
- Elemental Powers: She is Mother Nature, as an MK Fighter. 'Nuff said.
- Evil Costume Switch: Averted but then played straight. When she goes after Jax and Jacqui to get Kronika's crown, she is still in her default costume. But when confronting Liu Kang in Chapter 12, she is wearing her "Dark Cetrion" costume.
- Fertile Feet: She does this in her introduction.
- Hot Goddess: A beautiful lady in green, and an Elder Goddess.
- Pretty Butterflies: One shows up in her victory pose.
Kollector[]
- Because You Were Nice to Me: He loyally serves Shao Kahn because he helped him and his race.
- Baby Factory: He implies to Cassie that he wants to make her and other Earthrealmers into breeding slaves. Naturally, Cassie has a "No. Just... No" Reaction.
- Corrupt Bureaucrat: Oh yep.
- Creepy Souvenir: In his Fatality, he literally takes parts of his victim's body to keep them.
- Fantastic Racism: He justifies his loyalty to Shao Kahn for the fact he helped in changing his race's reputation in Outworld, from despised to feared. He seems to have overlooked the fact the other races probably now despises them even more.
- Greed: All he is seen to be interested is in into material belongings.
- Knife Nut
- Multi-Armed and Dangerous: SIX arms, to be exact.
- Multiversal Conqueror: In his tower ending, after turning into the Emperor of Outworld, he decides to take over the other realms via Mortal Kombat.
