Biography
Original Timeline
Fujin was a deity who operated as the God of Wind in Earthrealm and served as Protector of Earth alongside his brother Raiden where they served the Elder Gods. He knew of the demigods Taven and Daegon who were the children of the god Argus of Edenia. After they disappeared, he came to question Argus about their whereabouts but he did not answer Fujin with him stating that they would return in the future and brig about a new world. The wind god did not understand what Argus meant but decided to accept the Edenian god at his word and did not pursue the matter further. Long ago, one of the Elder Gods named Shinnok turned against his kind leading to him being defeated and imprisoned. Shinnok's Amulet was taken away and placed away at the Temple of the Elements for safekeeping with Fujin being one of the elemental godly guardians that were tasked with protecting it. A Lin Kuei warrior by the name of Sub-Zero had been hired by the sorcerer Quan Chi with recovering the Amulet leading to him fighting and defeating Fujin. Despite the theft of the Amulet, Sub-Zero returned it to the Thunder God Raiden. By the modern day, Shinnok was freed from his prison in the Netherrealm leading to him waging war against the Heavens. Fujin was among the few of the surviving gods on Earth after his counterparts in Heaven were defeated in the war. The Wind God joined the Forces of Light in the final battle against the hell-spawned warriors of Darkness that served Shinnok.
He later was journeying through Orderrealm where he began searching for a book that would help in the defense of Earthrealm. During this time, Raiden perished in an attempt to take down the recently resurrected Dragon King Onaga. Despite this, he came to reform his body but had a stricter and darker view in life. Upon learning of this, Fujin looked to find the reason for this stark transformation in his friend and had conversed with the gods of other realms on the reasons for his madness. This Dark Raiden had a clear goal in defending Earthrealm but with a ruthlessness that matched Shao Kahn with Fujin being disturbed at the thunder god having reanimated the corpse of Liu Kang to serve as his enforcer. In response, Fujin joined forces wit Kung Lao in order to confront their former friends with Fujin intending to save them but if that could not be achieved then he was determined to stop them permanently. Whilst meeting Kung Lao, he was informed that a gathering was called by Johnny Cage who described a vision of seeing a threat from Shinnok. In this time, he came to learn of the return of Taven and Daegon with Fujin determining that this was linked to a quest set forth by Argus. However, the wind god came to worry that the demigods quest had been corrupted by evil and he intended to hinder their progress in the hope of preventing Armageddon.
Reboot Timeline
During Armageddon, Shao Kahn won the conflict leading to him dealing the final blow against Raiden. To prevent this future, Raiden sent his experiences back in time to his younger self causing him to change the timeline. After the release of Shinnok, the fallen Elder God took his demonic forces from the Netherrealm to invade Earthrealm. Fujin was at the Sky Temple where he fought against the demons alongside Raiden.
