Is den in mk-1?? If so what is his relationship with raiden??

against my best wishes, I had to imagine the scenario where Den would be in mk12... but surprisingly no! Den and Raiden Jr are just strangers. so Den's role in mk12- to start things off: he's the closest to a neutral force the game can offer, he plays by both sides out of mere curiosity. In story mode, he would be a npc, he's introduced in Baraka's chapter. He's in the laboratory, imprisoned as he watches the events unfold. After Shang releases the poisonous gas and the gang escapes, so does Den, which he later catches up to the gang. Syzoth, as the jailer, already knew him so he warns the gang about him until he formally introduces himself... rambling about his codename and "earthrealmer name". Either way, he's more of an enigma to the earthrealmers while keeping his cards close to himself- that is when they meet Ashrah and- lemme tell you- Den is "enamored" of Ashrah's story, how she decided to change her lifestyle into something she believes in. Her chapter finishes, Den gives a little hint in reverse english. Going to Syzoth's chapter, he's still hanging out with the gang, eating food from the trash (like a raccoon) which later makes the gang realize why Raycoon. They make the plan of taking Quan Chi across the crowd, Den asks why not let Syzoth take him (or why not simply stop believing in gravity)

Something that lowkey kinda bothered me was how much Kenshi was used as a kameo, so maybe have his ass as Syzoth's kameo as he doesn't stick with plans. Lastly, he stays behind as a distraction, leaving Johnny a clue in reverse english before they escape to the academy. I'd like to think he was in the weird fortress thingy, this time working for the bad guys, except he doesn't directly confront the LK brothers (in fact, he follows them as he senses tension), which later ends in Den spying on Bi-Han betraying Scorpion. There's more likely some sort of tension between Den, Havik and Darrius as Den realizes Havik doesn't truly believe in chaos, more in the oppression of the oppressive system. If he were to appear in Mileena's chapter, it would be when the good guys and bad guys are plotting against titan Shang Tsung, yet he would only appear to warn them about Liu Kang, opening the wound "he forged your fates, he used to control you like puppets until Shang appeared" sooooooo yeah, he would appear as a npc and maybe a kameo- he even says out loud "I'm just a npc" (makes Johnny believe he's familiarized with Earthrealm culture meanwhile Den just glances at the player and slowly nods)

some of the sketches I liked the most I made them digital! plus made the last request of Kuai and Tomas hugging.
