Sub-Zero (Mortal Kombat : Northern Star)

Summary
Xue Long (雪龙) or known as Sub-Zero (絶対零度) is the leader of the latest generation of the Lin Kuei warriors. He is from a fanmade storyline called Mortal Kombat : Northern Star, which takes place ten years after Mortal Kombat X.

Personality
Stoic and shy, Xue Long was one of those whom studied away from the path of the warrior. Throughout the years, Xue Long only practiced martial arts for the use of self-defense and inherited a natural manipulation of ice and cold. Unlike former Lin Kuei members, Xue Long studied under and practiced his arts to the point of which he separates himself from his clan's fighting style completely.

Xue Long is phlegmatic as others describe him. With a gentle nature, he is like a calm ocean with a zephyr to accompany him. Yet while in battle, he shares no mercy and completely destroys his competition if given a reasonable purpose to do so.

Background
After Kuai Liang's disappearance, the Lin Kuei was left in disarray and leaderless. With the clan at near brink of destruction and invading forces closing in on their borders, Xue Long took his training to the test. Commanding the remains of the Lin Kuei warriors, Xue Long set out on a full scaled strategic war against the rising clans, utilizing what limited resources and participating in battles to win against the invaders. Xue Long successfully forced back the seven clans that threatened the existence of his own, completely eliminating them through the use of strategy and brute force.

Through his efforts, Xue Long had defeated not only the prominent forces that threatened the land, however he had indirectly protected the last piece of the Jinsei. Several months after Xue Long's victory against the invaders, he was visited by the lightning god, Raiden, whom had come on behalf of the Elder Gods to retrieve the last piece of the Jinsei. Having heard of Raiden's explanation and proof of the existence of the Jinsei, Xue Long had agreed to hand over the last piece.

Having heard of Xue Long's achievements and efforts in protecting Earthrealm, Raiden made one final request. Offering Xue Long to honor his clan's past, he was persuaded by Raiden to serve as one of the protectors of Earthrealm and so, continued the alliance between White Lotus and the Lin Kuei.

Eight years pass following Xue Long's involvement with Special Forces, assisting in the training of recruits. One more year passes as Xue Long is suddenly attacked by a familiar spear dart on his way towards the Lin Kuei palace. Turning to see that the spear dart avoided was the same one used by the Shirai Ryu and the opponent that stood before him was none other than Scorpion. With the alliance in question, Xue Long attempted to reason with the ninja, whom took a violent turn and threatened him into a fight. After a hard battle, both individuals are about to send each other their final blows before they are intercepted by Shujinko who ends the fight between the two.

After causing Scorpion to retreat, Shujinko explains to Xue Long about the corruption that is arising. Immediately they report to Raiden who is holding a council with the others.

Notable Techniques
- Ice Blast : Sub-Zero sends a blast of ice directly towards the opponent to temporarily freeze them in place for a free hit. He could also freeze opponents in midair (they'll stay frozen in midair), if timed correctly. - Ice Slide : Sub-Zero slides across the floor, knocking the opponent off their feet. It is assumed Sub-Zero slides by freezing the soles of his feet, while leaving a trail of ice behind. - Ice Wave : Generating a great amount of ice, Sub-Zero sends forth a wave of ice that freezes a large area in front of him. It is almost unavoidable because it takes up so much space. - Ice Clone : Sub-Zero is able to create an ice clone anywhere he chooses and anybody that touches it will freeze. - Invisible Snow : Taking a fighting stance, Sub-Zero will leave his previous point with an ice clone while reappearing behind the opponent.
 * Ice Beam : Instead of a single ball of ice, Sub-Zero will shoot a beam of ice, making it easier to hit opponents in the air. The opponent is also frozen for a longer amount of time.
 * Freeze! : Sub-Zero slides towards his opponent, then somersaulting above and landing behind them to blast with ice. This will freeze the opponent and while he freezes them, Sub-Zero yells "Freeze!".
 * Blizzard : Clapping his hands together, Sub-Zero generates a great amount of ice that he directs in an omni-directional dome. It freezes all it touches.
 * Snow Dragon Wave : Generating ice in both hands, Sub-Zero slashes at the enemy using his right hand to crash a giant ice dragon at the opponent. It is huge and is effective against opponents that are approaching him.
 * Ice Assault Unit : Generating an ice clone in front of himself, Sub-Zero punches the clone which sends a great wave of force at the opponent and impales that with ice shards.

- Shaolin Showdown : Freezing the opponent, Sub-Zero will unsheathe his sword and slash at the opponent with nine cuts before kicking them away. - Snow Dragon Sword Dance : Using his teleportation, Sub-Zero quickly teleports on all sides of the opponent, striking at them as quickly as possible. He does a total of twenty strikes before unleashing his final slash which is the twentieth as a powerful attack that knocks the opponent down and freezes them.
 * Frosty! : Sub-Zero sends a giant ice wave at the opponent in which he yells out comically, "Frosty!".
 * STAY OVER THERE! : Mocking Scorpion, Sub-Zero unsheathes his sword and fires it using the long tassel. If it hits the opponent, they freeze as he retracts his sword. Sub-Zero yells out "STAY OVER THERE!" as he performs this.

- [X-Ray] Frost Shot : Throwing out snow to blind the opponent, Sub-Zero then jumps to grab onto the opponent's neck and forces them down with a twirl, cracking their skull. He then freezes them mid-handstand before landing to send punch to the opponent's chest, breaking their sternum. Finally, Sub-Zero then tosses them into the air and lands a punch onto the opponent's lower back, crushing their vertebrae.

- [X-Ray] Cool Deal : Catching the opponent from behind, Sub-Zero grabs their head and sends his knee upward, cracking the opponent's cranium. Pushing their head back up, Sub-Zero jabs his left hand into the back of the opponent's neck, crushing their cervical vertebrae. Finally, he freezes the opponent before giving them a great kick, cracking their sternum and ribs.

- '''[X Ray] For the Lin Kuei! : '''Activated while in mid-air, Sub-Zero catches his opponent with a surprise jab to the jaw, cracking their mandible and the force of the jab forces their cranium to be crushed. He then motions a back-flip which directs his right foot into the opponent's groin, causing it to explode (if male) or strain (if female) and cracks the sacrum. Finally, once the opponent has landed, he fires his sword and yanks them back from the tassel and sends an ice covered punch to the opponent's back, crushing their spine.
