Fighters Generation on Baraka:
It takes a pretty decent design to be memorable... So in that respect, Baraka isn't a bad design at all, because I think everyone remembers his debut in MK2. They brought him back in the later games, but I think the appeal has worn off a bit.
Baraka's always been a favorite of mine since MK2 was in the arcades. Real sneaky to play with.

Baraka was sent to quell the uprising renegade race in Outworld's lower regions. After his victorious battle, the nomadic warrior returns to fight on the side of villainy. Under the guidance of Shao Kahn, Baraka will once again pose a formidable threat to his Earthen counterparts.
Ending
When Baraka's failure to apprehend several Earth warriors nearly results in Shao Kahn's demise, the nomad finds himself fearing for his own life. He falls out of favor with his Emperor, and realizes that it's only a matter time before Kahn enacts revenge. Baraka remains loyal until the opposition from the Earth Realm has been defeated. With Kahn in a weakened state from his battle with Raiden, Baraka strikes. The despondent Emperor is no match for Baraka's attack. Then, fearing reprisal from those loyal to Kahn, Baraka escapes back into nomadic ruins from which he came.
Mortal Kombat Gold
Ever the nomad, Baraka has spent much time wandering many realms. Whilst traveling back through Edenia, he is made an offer to rule the realm at the side of Quan Chi. Eager to return into battle for any cause, Baraka accepts but has a different idea of how things will turn out.
Ending
(The camera goes from a view of the outside of a palace to the interior of a throne room. Quan Chi sits on the throne and notices a figure entering the palace.)
Quan Chi: "Enter!"
(Baraka slowly walks forward.)
Quan Chi: "I said enter, Baraka. Have no fear. Our betrayal is complete. I have dealt with those once loyal to Shinnok. This victory is ours!"
Baraka (Approaches Quan Chi.): "You bask in your newfound power on the throne of Queen Sindel, while I am forced to hide in the shadows."
Quan Chi: "Who is it you are hiding from? The Elder Gods are dead. Raiden is dead, and thanks to you, Shinnok is dead!"
Baraka: "Everyone is dead."
Quan Chi: "Yes. Everyone in this forsaken realm is dead!"
Baraka: "How do we rule a realm with no one in it?"
Quan Chi: "This war was not about holding court to mortals. It was about obtaining power! I now possess that power!"
Baraka: "And I am forced to live out my existence in a dead realm with a madman!"
(Baraka draws his blades, growls, and leaps at Quan Chi, stabbing him in the chest. Quan Chi groans in pain.)
Baraka: "Now, sorcerer, you will pay with your life!"
(Baraka prepares to cut off Quan Chi's head. Quan Chi appears behind Baraka.)
Quan Chi: "I haven't a life to give, you fool."
Baraka: (Turns around.) "What!?"
(Baraka looks at the body on the throne, which is just a skeleton. He growls, and leaps at Quan Chi, who fires a blast of energy at him, freezing him in mid-air. Quan Chi laughs and raises his hand toward Baraka, who explodes.)
Mortal Kombat Deception

Baraka assumed that the treacherous Mileena had given her armies a powerful magic. They fought with savage brutality, but he could not stop their advance. He vowed that Mileena would pay for her betrayal. Baraka's warriors brought word that she had agreed to meet with him in an ancient lair, but Baraka was no fool... He sent another in his place...

Baraka's scout reported that the Earthrealm warrior Subzero was near. He allowed his remaining militia to deal with him and set off alone to ambush Mileena. He knew by the scent of Tarkatan blood on her clothes that she had already killed the one he had sent to meet her. But her sense of smell was not as keen as a true Tarkata's. She was unaware of Baraka's presence. He barked her name and when she turned to face him... he tore her apart.
Mortal Kombat Armageddon
With the power of Blaze within him, Baraka would never again serve another. Summoning Shao Kahn and Onaga before him atop the pyramid, he gave them a choice: Submit to Lord Baraka or die. They responded by attacking the Tarkatan. In a flash, Baraka’s blades grew to twice their normal length and pierced his former masters through their hearts. Flinging their bodies down the side of the
pyramid, Baraka turned his attention to a more important matter: Who would be his queen? He gave Mileena a choice. She chose wisely.

You know, Mortal Kombat had a good thing going but as soon as Armageddon and MKvsDC surfaced, the franchise became kind of a downer. I hope MKvsDC isn't canon or this is gonna get real ugly.
He should've just uploaded the pictures from photobucket or imageshack instead of using up other sites' bandwidth. It's no wonder they're not appearing now.
