Biography[]
Backstory[]
This version of Rain was a Outworld mage, much like his New Era counterpart, who along with his wife Tanya, rose up against Emperor Reiko and Empress Li Mei's cruel regime. After overthrowing them, Rain and Tanya would become the rulers of Outworld, ruling it justly until the arrival of Titan Havik and his Brotherhood of Chaos, who merged his timeline with his own. Rain would join a resistance movement against him, alongside his wife and Lt Colonel Cage. After a failed attack on Havik's citadel, Tanya was captured, and the resistance was forced to flee.
Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns[]
Rain is first seen finding Lt Colonel Cage in the Night Market, having been rescued from the Brotherhood's agents with the aid of warriors from another timeline, namely Kuai Liang, Cyrax and Sektor. After Rain infromed tham of the state of affiars, and the group told him and Cage of their mission to rescue Geras, the group head to the Khaoseum to rescue a variant of Tanya that knows of Titan Havik's timeline. Once at there, they are spotted by a chaos variant of Kenshi Takahashi, Titan Havik's closest lieutenant, and forced to fight in the Khaoseum. Defeating various kombatants, the group escape into a booby-trapped tunnel system known as The Maze and must fight to survive.
Inside The Maze the group are split up, with Rain, Tanya and Sektor teaming up. Eventually, they get through the tunnels where Rain uses his power to save his wife and Sektor from a death trap while remaining behind and being crushed to death.
Abilities[]
Like his counterpart in Liu Kang's timeline, this variant of Rain is a High Mage, born with an incredible aptitude for water magic which was further honed under the Outworld Academy of Sorcery. Wielding a scepter that lets him control water magic as a hydromancer, he can now create portals of water that he can pass through with ease, create whirlpools on the ground that can entrap foes.
Personality[]
This variant of Rain is from a timeline that was one of the many merged into Titan Havik's. He is the respectable and noble Emperor of Outworld in his timeline and is married to a variant of Tanya. The two overthrew the corrupt reigns of previous rulers in their timeline, variants of Reiko and Li Mei. When Titan Havik merged their timelines with his, Rain and Tanya spent time as part of a resistance against Titan Havik's rule.
Another aspect about this variant of Rain is that he hesitates to kill his opponents, no matter how vile they are. When he and Tanya are forced to kill Emperor Reiko and Empress Li Mei to progress, he asks his wife to deal the killing blow, and looks away as she does so.
