* DefeatMeansFriendship: Played with. Fierce Tiger AKA Isis Williams fought Jade Dragon AKA Aria Chen several times, with Isis never winning. Then Aria and Isis fought one more time, and the loser had to obey the winner's every whim. Aria won easily, and told Isis to improve her grades and to train with her in secret. So the trope was played straight in the end.
* {{Expy}}: Considering that former Mortal Kombat co-creator John Tobias had a role in creating this game, many of the characters in this game can find their creative descent from that franchise.
** The Black Mantis, despite having a name similar to the Black Dragon, is more akin to that of the Brotherhood of Shadows and its leader, Wulong Goth, has a strong resemblance to the Brotherhood's founder Shinnok (though he differs by having a Mantis motif instead). Of its other co-horts, Fatalist is a European Mercenary who is strongly reminiscent of the Australian Crime lord Kano, and also uses lasers for attacks (though fired from a device mounted near his shoulder rather than by a cybernetic eye), [[TheBrute Exile]] takes a few cues from [[MightyGlacier Shao Kahn]] (in that he is a muscle bound giant), and Vapor is essentially a GenderFlipped version of Smoke.
** The Pale Lotus is rather obviously based on the White Lotus Society. Master Sage has elements of Raiden, being the wise leader of the good side and being able to wield [[ShockAndAwe electric-based attacks]], and Liu Kang, being a highly skilled martial artist and not to mention doing his own version of his bicycle kick, while Divine Fist, based on being a monk dressed in dark blue and black clothing, is likely based on Kung Lao (minus the WeaponizedHeadgear). In addition, Fierce Tiger also seems to be a composite expy of Cyrax and Tanya (As Fierce Tiger has a dreadlock hair style like Cyrax (shown in his ending in [[VideoGame/MortalKombat4 Mortal Kombat Gold]]), like Tanya she is a dark skinned woman proficient in fighting, and like both of those characters she is a Black individual who dresses in a mostly yellow color scheme).
* TheFashionista: Jade Dragon

* ItsAllAboutMe: This is Divinity AKA Savitri Bindra of the Black Mantis in a nutshell. In fact, her fury was limitless when her boyfriend Divine Fist AKA Shen Zhen of the Pale Lotus rejected her!

* MultipleChoicePast: The Fatalist claims that he is in the last in the line of UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler; that he's secretly the ruling Prince of Austria, given away to peasants as a baby; that his parents where killed by wolves in the Black Forest who then raised him as one of their pack; and that he's a super-soldier who was engineered and raised in a lab. Good luck trying to figure out what happened in his past.

* TheHero: Jade Dragon of the Pale Lotus.
