Can I play as [Insert MK canon character here]?

Yes and no. It ultimatly depends on how well you can role play that character. We do have some openings for canon characters as you can see here, but you have to "try out" for the part like an actor would in a play or movie as we're very picky about the characterization of the canon MK characters. If you are new to Role Playing or Mortal Kombat in general, we recommend you start with submitting an original character of your own creation first to see how that goes. Remember, don't try to run when you haven't learned how to walk first!
