Mileena

Personality: Born mere seconds ahead of her twin sister, Mileena is the rightful heir to Outworld’s throne. But even so, there are those who distrust Mileena’s impulsiveness. They whisper that Kitana, with her steadier hand, should replace Mileena as heir to the throne. As Mileena fights for legitimacy, she hides a horrible secret: she is infected with the dreaded and lethal Tarkat disease. Were her affliction found out, Mileena would be forced into battle to save her throne.

Mileena is older sister of Kitana and older daughter of Queen Sindle. Mileena is the heir to thrown of Outwrold. Mileena is a forthright individual who's brashness belies some inner insecurities. She hates being constantly compared to her sister, and is more assertive on what she wants. She is also a strong leader and is willing to do the difficult thing. She is impulsive which could sometimes lead to rashness. She is a patient, mature, and noble woman who hopes to prove a worthy successor to her mother who approaches matters in an honest and just manner, and welcomes even the outcasts of society into her kingdom. However due to the divided public perception about who should be next in line to rule, she is initially insecure about her worthiness to the throne and would risk her life to prove herself. She hates keeping secrets from others such as her affliction or her relationship with anyone. Mileena suffers from the mind-ravaging effects of the Tarkat disease, this causes Mileena to occasionally suffer bouts of uncontrollable rage and bloodlust. During these bouts, she has little self-control, maiming opponents indiscriminately and giving in to the disease’s cannibalistic urges. The Tarkat’s effects become more potent as time goes on, making it harder to resist its urges. While this can be nullified through use of a special serum, it’s only a temporary cure and will eventually wear off and If she doesn’t receive a permanent cure, her infection will eventually become lethal.

Mileena must now fight for everything she believes belongs to her.

Setting: (Outworld is still a combination of several realms, including Edenia, Osh-tekk, Tarkata, and others, although it appears that it has always been this way in this timeline and not the result of conquest. Much of the realm is lush and beautiful and has been ruled by the lineage of Sindel since time immemorial, with Sindel's rule resulting in the Golden Age of Outworld. Its capital city is Sun Do, a thriving metropolis home to a diverse number of races and patrolled by the Sun Do Constabulary. Areas surrounding the city are beautiful and peaceful in this world, with their magic being mostly benevolent in nature -- such as the Living Forest which is the final resting place of the Outworld's honored dead. While Outworld has a positive relationship with Earthrealm, the same cannot be applied to other realms, such as Vaeternus.That said, there are blemishes of imperfection: Tarkatans occupy a colony in the Wastes that closely resembles what Outworld looked like in previous timelines; Zaterrans occupy subterranean lairs; and Kytinn are considered dangerous and repulsive. All three groups are shunned in Sun Do and other cities. There is also mention of other ghettoes and outcasts, meaning that discrimination and inequality are still unpleasant realities.)
