Earth

In the Mortal Kombat series, Earth is the name that is most frequently used for what we normally call Earthrealm.

About Earth
Earth is one of many planets that were formed after the Elder Gods shattered the One Being. In the Mortal Kombat universe, Earth has been the target of frequent attempts at conquest, because it is thought to be the jewel of the cosmos and an important universal power node. Because of this, the Elder Gods have appointed a deity to protect the realm from harm. For countless centuries this has been Raiden, though other gods such as Fujin also play a role in this. Furthermore, the Shaolin Temple of the Light was formed to train mortals in martial arts and prepare them to defend their world from evil. More recent organizations such as the reformed Lin Kuei or the Special Forces play a similar role. Earth was nearly destroyed millions of years ago in a war between Shinnok and Raiden, and then verged on the brink of collapse during Shao Kahn's short conquest. After his invasion was foiled, Earth has served as an inspiration to other conquered realms of Outworld. Edenia would later be liberated and Nitara's home realm, Vaeternus, would be freed as well.

Native species

 * Humans: They were the first intelligent race to evolve on Earth (in game and real life), and share most basic characteristics with the people and civilizations from other realms. They tend to live much shorter and are not as adapted to magic as their counterparts. This is compensated by their highly advanced level of technology. And "Earthrealmers" as Princess Kitana of Edenia said in Mortal Kombat 9, is the name to Earth's inhabitants, who are also called Humans.

Magical abilities
Earthreamlers, unlike their outer worldly counterparts, only have little, or oftentimes, no magical ability. When an Earthrealmer does utilize magic however, it's often in the form of an element associated with Earth. Examples include Liu Kang's, Kai's, and Kobra's fire manipulation abilities, and Kung Lao's wind manipulation abilities. Sonya Blade and Kira are known to manipulate non-elemental magic associated with Earth, in which they dub the "Kiss of Death," and Johnny Cage has the ability to toss a "force ball," a ball of gathered energy, and use shadow abilities. Kenshi who can use his levitating abilities.
