Many years ago, there was a clan known as the Lin Kuei whose sworn duty was to protect Earthrealm, which they were very succeeded in. At one point, a group of them decided to splinter off, thanks to their grandmaster's and Lui Kang's permission and form their own clan called the Kuranni Naru. They called themselves that after their grandmaster's magnificent power over water and its temperature and that most of them were located near sea. Years after leaving the Lin Kuei, the Kuranni Naru would live gracefully at Earthrealm's coasts, rivers, and lakes while serving its duties as Earthrealm's protectors, much like the clan they originated from. However, disaster would strike in the form of a joint effort between two groups of unknown individuals and through their collaboration, the Kuranni Naru would fall. Everyone in the clan would be slaughtered. All except for you, who your father saved by sending you somewhere else. Years later, you meet a certain kraken and you two start to feel like the two of you can do and persevere through anything the world puts you through.
