Premise
The series revolves around the adventures of a time and space traveller known as The Doctor (played and voiced by Tom Baker), 12-year-old Oregon tourist trap employee Dipper Pines (played and voiced by Jason Ritter) and EarthRealm fighting champion Kung Lao (played and voiced by Will Yun Lee) and their friends, after their respective universal realities suddenly collide and merge, and they are trapped by a collaboration between their arch enemies: the Time Lord known as The Master (played and voiced by John Simm and Michelle Gomez), emperor and warlord of the Outworld Shao Kahn (played and voiced by Frank Welker) and two-dimensional psychotic demon Bill Cipher (voiced by Alex Hirsch). They must combat through each of their arch enemies throughout their realities before their universes can be separated, with help from their friends along the way.

Main characters

 * The Doctor (played and voiced by Tom Baker) - A Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, he travels in time and space with companions in a time machine disguised as a blue British police box known as the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space). He is known throughout his respective universe as a hero who has defeated monsters and saved countless civilisations. He also has the ability to regenerate when injured or dying by changing into a new body. By the time he meets Dipper Pines and Kung Lao, The Doctor is in his fourth incarnation and is travelling with companions Romana and K9. He acts as a mentor to Dipper and Mabel Pines, and learns many fighting styles from Kung Lao and his companion Sub-Zero. He faces a life-threatening challenge when his arch enemy, The Master, regenerates into a more powerful incarnation, who, with the aid of the Daleks and Cybermen, begins the First Great Time War, and separates The Doctor from his friends to go against him in a battle that takes them across the entire planet of Gallifrey.
 * Kung Lao (played and voiced by Will Yun Lee) - A martial artist and fighting champion renowned throughout the EarthRealm in his universe, he is a former member of the White Lotus Martial Arts Society and one of the descendants of the Great Kung Lao, a Champion of Mortal Kombat. He is a renowned fighter throughout his homeland of Earthrealm and is fluent in fighting styles including Mantis, Shaolin Fist, Kenpo and Wing Chun. Being a warrior, he is armed with a Razor-Brimmed Hat, a Battle Axe and a Broadsword. He has fought against his arch enemy Shao Kahn many times, and does not think twice before deciding to confront him once again. He is travelling with fellow Mortal Kombat fighter Sub-Zero when he is thrust into the adventure with The Doctor, Dipper Pines and the rest of the group. He proves himself to be a strong and wise leader when he leads the group across the EarthRealm and NetherRealm to make it to the Outworld to battle the evil Shao Kahn and his accomplices.
 * Dipper Pines (played and voiced by Jason Ritter) - A tourist trap employee at the Mystery Shack in Gravity Falls, Oregon, he is the twin brother of Mabel Pines and a junior explorer who is always raring for a new adventure. He is renowned throughout Gravity Falls, considered to be wise beyond his years and cannot wait to grow up to be a man. He is armed with the legendary 'Journal 3' which has become a true lifeline for his adventures. Dipper and his sister are staying with their Uncle Ford for the summer holidays during the events of the first series, before joining The Doctor, Kung Lao and the rest of the group in the fight to separate the collided universes. He looks up to Romana and Sub-Zero as role models, and is often taken under Sub-Zero's wing on their adventures. When the Weirdmageddon event happens for a second time, Dipper and his sister don't hesitate to help their new friends combat the dreaded Bill Cipher once again.
 * Bill Cipher (voiced by Alex Hirsch) - A powerful, interdimensional dream demon that can be summoned and released into somebody's mind, and the arch enemy of Dipper Pines. He resembles a one-eyed, yellow triangle with a top hat and a bow tie, superficially similar to the Eye of Providence. He can read people's minds and memories, shift forms, warp reality, maintain cross-dimensional awareness, possess bodies, encrypt and decrypt codes, and shoot laser energy blasts from his eye and fingers. Throughout their battles, Cipher has tricked Dipper countless times and Pines has vowed to get rid of him eventually. Cipher's alliance with The Master and Shao Kahn is discovered to be a foretold legend hidden for a trillion years throughout Cipher's existence and plans to get his own way from the deal and eliminate all of the Pines in Gravity Falls. He attempts to convince Kung Lao and The Doctor to share in his power as his accomplices, but Dipper and his sister Mabel help them resist his mind games and the heroes finally join together in a combined effort to defeat him.
 * Shao Kahn (played and voiced by Frank Welker) - A brutal warlord and the emperor of the mystical Outworld realm, he is feared by many for his godlike strength and knowledge of black magic, and he seeks to conquer all of the realms of the Mortal Kombat universe and merge them with Outworld. He was at first an advisor to the emperor of Outworld, but later poisoned him and took control of the realm and the armies belonging to the emperor. A terrifying figure, he is armed with a War Hammer primarily, but also carries a Spear and a Staff. He has a long and bloody history with Kung Lao and the rest of the Mortal Kombat fighters, and will not stop at nothing to see them and all who oppose him eliminated. He shares a significant factor of hatred in his personality with The Master, but simply sees Bill Cipher as a power-crazed, psychotic demon, however he is willing to work with Cipher only to achieve his own goals.
 * The Master (played and voiced by John Simm and Michelle Gomez) - A renegade Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, he is the same species as his arch enemy, The Doctor, and has the ability to regenerate when his body is either damaged or dying. His ambition is to control the universe, and eliminate the Human race on the planet Earth to make The Doctor suffer. During the series, The Master's incarnation is known as the 'Harold Saxon' incarnation, however he later regenerates into a female known as 'Missy'. Between the events of The Mondasian Colony and his latest regeneration, he travels back in time to attempt to kill the Time Lord Rassilon who had orchestrated his entire life as a puppet of the Time Lords. However, he cannot do this when his universe collides with that of Shao Kahn and Bill Cipher, and must make an alliance with them. He regenerates into Missy after the First Great Time War begins.
 * Romana (played and voiced by Lalla Ward) - A Time Lady from the planet Gallifrey, she is the same species as her best friend, The Doctor, and like all Time Ladies, she has the ability to regenerate when her body is damaged or dying. She is extremely intelligent, having graduated from the Time Lord Academy with a triple first, and occasionally outsmarts The Doctor. She first joined The Doctor and their robot dog K9 during the events of The Key to Time, and her bossy, prideful and dismissive attitude did not mix very well in the TARDIS. Soon after however, she regenerated into a likeness of Princess Astra of Atrios, and her personality suddenly became more laid-back, relaxed and humorous. She is still in this incarnation when she meets Dipper Pines and Kung Lao. She develops a friendship with Dipper's sister Mabel, and fiercely protects the young girl during the battle against Shao Kahn. She soon begins to develop romantic feelings for Sub-Zero, and seeks advice from Mabel and Kung Lao, but she doesn't reveal those feelings to him.
 * Mabel Pines (played and voiced by Kristen Schaal) - A tourist trap employee at the Mystery Shack, she is the twin sister of Dipper Pines. She is an eccentric, buoyant, and energetic optimist, who expresses herself through an assortment of colorful knitted sweaters, as well as her skills in various arts and crafts. Her outgoing, curious personality often helps Dipper solve mysteries, though her silliness is often seen as a burden. Mabel enjoys preteen novels and seeks romance (especially in vampires). Despite what she sees as dating obscurity in Gravity Falls, Mabel stays optimistic. She won a pig she named Waddles at a summer fair, and ever since then the two have been inseparable. Mabel is frequently instrumental in helping her brother solve the mysteries of Gravity Falls and has played a pivotal role in all four of the fights that the twins have had against the main antagonist, Bill Cipher. When she and Dipper join The Doctor, Kung Lao and the rest of the heroes at the end of the first series, she develops a heartwarming friendship with The Doctor's friend Romana.
 * Sub-Zero (played and voiced by John Tobias) - A fighting champion and martial artist from the EarthRealm, he is a Grandmaster warrior of the Lin Kuei assassin Clan who possesses the innate ability to control ice in many forms. Two warrior brothers took the identity of Sub-Zero, Bi-Han, the elder of the two, and Kuai Liang. Sub Zero shares a bitter rivalry with the undead specter Scorpion due to Bi-Han killing him prior to his resurrection, and Kuai Lang later attempting to avenge Bi-Han's death at Scorpion's hands. In contrast with his older brother's more anti-heroic and later villainous personality, the second Sub-Zero typically adapts a heroic persona as one of the fighters helping defend Earthrealm against various threats. He is fluent in fighting styles Shotokan and Dragon, and can transform ice into abilities such as Ice Blast, Ground Ice, Ice Clone and Ice Shower. He is training with fellow Mortal Kombat fighter Kung Lao when he is thrust into the adventures with The Doctor and Dipper Pines.

Supporting characters

 * Grunkle Stan (voiced by Alex Hirsch) - The great uncle of Dipper and Mabel Pines. He runs and lives in the Mystery Shack, a tourist trap which is billed as "the world's most bizarre museum". Grunkle Stan is a salesman first and foremost, putting most of his effort into showmanship, and is eager to sell the Shack's knick-knacks, trinkets and baubles for exorbitant prices. Because of his drive to make money, his methods of obtaining it aren't always legal. Stan usually wears a fez, carries around an 8-ball topped cane, and infrequently wears an eyepatch over his glasses – the last of which is expressly for personal image. He frequently sends the twins on what they consider to be outrageous and unpredictable errands, but he is protective of them and loves them unconditionally. After the events of the Second Weirdmageddon, he sums up the emotional courage to part ways with Dipper and Mabel once again when they join The Doctor and Kung Lao on their quest to save their universes.
 * Soos Ramirez (voiced by Alex Hirsch) - The 22-year-old Hispanic handyman at the Mystery Shack. A friend of Dipper and Mabel, Soos is a portly, adventurous, lovable man-child with buck teeth frequently compared to those of a beaver. He often drives the twins around town when they need. He's rather clumsy, not the brightest in the group, and often makes mistakes. Despite this, he has a wide variety of talents, including engineering, DJing and pinball, and enjoys anime gun-swords and bonding with Dipper by doing "boy stuff" such as heating hot dogs in a microwave until they explode. He says "dude" after almost every sentence.
 * Wendy Corduroy (voiced by Linda Cardellini) - A mellow, tomboyish, laid-back 15-year-old part-time employee at the Mystery Shack. She is Dipper's crush, and several episodes focus on his misguided attempts to impress her. Wendy has stated that she had many boyfriends in the past, including one ex-boyfriend with whom she cannot remember breaking up. Wendy is the oldest and tallest child in her family; her father is Manly Dan, one of the local lumberjacks of Gravity Falls. She proves herself to be her "father's daughter", having experience as a lumberjack, tremendous physical strength, and apocalypse survival skills, which prove useful in dangerous situations. Being a typical sociable and nonchalant teen, she has many friends who are around her age. When Dipper once again leaves Gravity Falls with The Doctor and Kung Lao, he shares a fond farewell with Wendy.
 * "Uncle" Ford Pines (voiced by Alex Hirsch) - Stan's six-fingered long-lost identical twin brother and the mysterious person who wrote all three of the famous Journals. During Dipper and Mabel's first vacation in Gravity Falls, he recounted his friendship with Bill Cipher and how he attempted to create a teleporter to enter his realm. In the present, when he learned of Bill's plan to invade the mainstream dimension, he destroyed the teleporter, but at the cost of a dimensional rift leaking out of it, which he contained. During the First Weirdmageddon, he attempted to defeat Bill, but was captured, petrified and his journals are destroyed. He was later freed and restored of his humanity. After the Weirdmageddon, he tells Stan that he found some remaining anomalies and offers him to go sailing around the world to find them, which Stan accepts. He is not present during the Second Weirdmageddon, but returns to Gravity Falls during the events of the television movie, where he joins Dipper, Mabel, The Doctor, Kung Lao and the rest of the heroes to fight Bill Cipher once again.
 * Sheriff Blubs (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) – The sheriff of Roadkill County (the county that Gravity Falls is located in). He is shown to be rather lazy, often choosing to sit around and drink coffee instead of pursuing a case. Despite his apparent lack of police skills, he believes himself superior to all, and often looks down on the twins, which undermines their mystery-solving abilities. His lazy personality seems to stem from the extremely low crime rate in Gravity Falls, which is demonstrated when his aide, Deputy Durland, once comments on how unused their equipment is.
 * Pacifica Elise Northwest (voiced by Jackie Buscarino) - Pacifica is the most popular girl in Gravity Falls. She comes from a wealthy family, being the great-great-granddaughter of the supposed founder of Gravity Falls, Nathaniel Northwest  – the real founder of Gravity Falls being Quentin Trembley (8 1/2th President of the United States). Pacifica is an unfriendly, sarcastic, and spoiled girl who is Mabel's primary rival. Pacifica looks down on Mabel and thinks her eccentric personality is annoying and immature. She uses people's insecurities to manipulate them into doing whatever she wants and despises Mabel for standing up against her. She gets her comeuppance when Dipper reveals to her that her entire family's prestige is built on a lie, horrifying Pacifica.
 * Waddles (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) – Mabel's pet pig. She won Waddles at the fair, and ever since then the two have been inseparable. It is shown that Waddles enjoys spending time with Mabel just as much as she enjoys spending time with him. Waddles allows Mabel to dress him up as a businessman and take humorously captioned pictures of him in the style of "lolcat" internet memes and bursts from Stan's shirt. Waddles and Mabel are shown to be inseparable, and Mabel has been known to cry when they're separated.
 * Raiden (voiced by Richard Epcar) - The protector of Earthrealm. He fulfills his duty by selecting and training the warriors who defend Earthrealm from various threats, while also participating directly the realm's defense. Raiden generally serves as a mentor figure to the Earthrealm fighters, although he sometimes assumes a darker role, which sees him become more ruthless in his protection of the realm. When Earthrealm was young, Raiden was it's protector. He fought the rogue Elder God Shinnok, who wished to overthrow his fellow gods, in a war that threatened to destroy Earthrealm. With the aid of the Elder Gods, Raiden managed to defeat Shinnok, then banished him to the Netherealm and secured his amulet of power in a secret location — a Temple of the Elements. Years later, he is invited to a Mortal Kombat Tournament, and takes a human form to compete. He is reluctant about agreeing to take young Dipper and Mabel Pines into battle against Shao Kahn and his accomplices, but with reassurance from his long-time friend Kung Lao, he begins to make them feel very welcome.
 * Xia and Chen Lao (Xia voiced by Gemma Chan; Chen voiced by Anya Chalotra) - The two secret twin daughters of Kung Lao. Years ago, Kung Lao had a secret affair with an unknown American woman, and Xia and Chen were the result, being given the birth names Pheobe (Xia) and Rosie (Chen). After their birth, Kung Lao severed all links with his daughters and their mother, feeling he was unprepared to become a father, so Pheobe and Rosie lived with their mother in America. Years later, as Kung Lao returns with The Doctor and Dipper Pines, Pheobe and Rosie, now adolescents, arrive in EarthRealm under the aliases Xia and Chen to train as Mortal Kombat warriors, and also to convince their long-lost father of their true identity. At first, Kung Lao seems oblivious to their identity, as Xia and Chen were not his daughters' birth names. They eventually ask Kung Lao to join in the fight against Shao Kahn having already shown their potential. As they travel through the NetherRealm and Outworld, battling enemies and saving lives, Kung Lao becomes more wary of the two girls' identities. It is only during the final battle against Shao Kahn that Kahn reveals the true identity and background of the girls, and proceeds to kill Chen, after she sacrificed herself to save her father. Devastated having lost her sister, Xia and her father swear vengeance. The two then embroil themselves in an all-important fight against Shao Kahn to decide the fate of EarthRealm. Kahn is soon weakened and defeated, but in one last act of revenge, Xia is suddenly impaled in the chest from behind by Kahn, killing her. A funeral is held for the sisters after the battle, where a grieving Kung Lao shares that no matter how far apart you may be, no matter what you have done in the past, in the end, there is nothing more important than family.
 * Scorpion (voiced by Patrick Seitz) - An undead ninja, Scorpion is principally defined by his quest to avenge the deaths of himself, his family, and his clan. His primary weapon is a kunai spear, which he uses to harpoon opponents, while his trademark fatality is the "Fire Breath" in which he removes his mask to reveal a skull right before immolating his opponent. The character's backstory establishes him as Hanzo Hasashi, a warrior from the fictional Shirai Ryu clan who was killed by the elder Sub-Zero (Bi-Han) of the rival Lin Kuei clan. Scorpion is also both a rival and ally of the younger Sub-Zero (Kuai Liang).
 * Johnny Cage (voiced by Andrew Bowen) – The father of Cassie Cage and ex-husband to Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage was initially a struggling Hollywood action movie star who sought to revitalize his career and reputation. He entered the Mortal Kombat tournament for the sole purpose of displaying his fighting skills and proving himself to sceptical film critics, as they believed Cage was nothing more than an actor who relied too much on stunts and camera work and was not really a proficient fighter. Eventually, he would become one of the most important defenders of Earthrealm. Despite his materialism, air headedness, and occasional immaturity, Cage is a brave and loyal warrior, although his antics frequently annoy his allies. Mabel Pines develops a stereotypical crush on Cage during the time she spends with him, but begins to view her new friendship with Romana as far more important for their mission.
 * Sonya Blade (voiced by Ronda Rousey) - General of Earthrealm Special Forces, Sonya Blade is a beautiful, stern, tough-as-nails General. Sonya represents a very emancipated and headstrong woman, but for all her stubbornness and pride, she deeply cares about the lives of her friends and comrades. She has a long-standing enmity with the Black Dragon leader, Kano, who had murdered a former partner of hers, and stands for everything Sonya despises. She has also feuded with other Black Dragon members such as Jarek. During the events of the new timeline, Sonya was in a relationship with Johnny Cage not long after the Netherrealm War and Shinnok's defeat, they got married. Together, they had a daughter named Cassie Cage, but they later divorced. Romana sees Sonya as a more mature friend compared to Mabel Pines, but Sonya tells her that friendship is not all about maturity, and this encourages Romana to create an even stronger friendship with Mabel.
 * Goro (voiced by Vic Chao) - Goro is a 4,000-year-old half-human dragon man, the prince of the Shokan, and a four-armed Shokan warrior who had been the champion of the Mortal Kombat tournament for nine generations, remaining undefeated for 500 years. Goro is among Shao Kahn's favorite warriors and is well known for his power and brutality. Goro helped the emperor grow closer to dominating Earthrealm, but he lost at the tenth while fighting against Liu Kang, who later defeated the sorcerer Shang Tsung.
 * Liu Kang (voiced by Matthew Yang King) - One of Earthrealm's greatest warriors, having defeated many to prove his valor. Liu Kang has found a nemesis in the traitorous Shang Tsung, a sorcerer who he has defeated on numerous occasions. He is often considered to be one of the greatest threats to the plans of Shang and his emperor, Shao Kahn. He is a member of the White Lotus Society and trains extensively at the Wu Shi Academy. Kung Lao is delighted to reunite with Liu Kang after the battle with Bill Cipher, as they had been childhood friends at the Academy for several years.
 * Kano (voiced by J.B. Blanc) - As a mercenary and leader of the international crime cartel known as the Black Dragon, Kano rises beyond mere brutality and aggression by also being sly and cunning. Originally from Australia, Kano is highly opportunistic and incredibly selfish, willing to betray his own realm and even his own allies for money or personal gain. As a result, he quickly became part of Shao Kahn's inner circle, and eventually the general of Outworld's armies. He is despised by the majority of other characters in the series for his selfish, untrustworthy nature, complete lack of morals, and overall crudeness. However, he seems to enjoy the fact that he is hated, even viewing it as a source of pride. He is the archenemy of Sonya Blade, who is obsessed with finding and bringing Kano to justice.
 * Cassie Cage (voiced by Ashly Burch) - Sometime after the Netherrealm War, Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade got married and had a daughter, Cassie. However, Sonya's perceived prioritization of work over her own family led them to divorce, much to Cassie's sadness. Being the daughter of a high-earning Hollywood actor, Cassie was somewhat spoiled, although her attitude changed after she was kidnapped by the Black Dragon. This experience convinced her to join the Special Forces, where she would be trained by both of her parents in combat. Despite her brash demeanour, she has a deep sense of morality, refusing to kill opponents except when absolutely necessary. One of the many romantic crushes formed in the team was sparked by Dipper Pines, as he began to develop raging feelings for Cassie, often portraying himself as clumsy and chaotic when expressing his appreciation for her.
 * K9 (voiced by John Leeson) - A mobile computer robot dog created in the year 5000 by Professor Marius, he is a companion of The Doctor and Romana. He was originally created when Marius could not take his own Earth dog into space with him, so he constructed K9. However, when Marius could not take him back to Earth, K9 decides to join The Doctor and his then-companion Leela, and remains with them until the events of the Sontaran Invasion of Gallifrey, when Leela decides to leave The Doctor. However, he soon replaces K9 with a new model after the original's departure, and he travels with The Doctor and Romana. He has abilities such as firing a laser beam set to stun or kill, rotating ear-probes and a wagging tail antennae. He addresses whoever is directing him as "Master" or "Mistress" depending upon gender, and uses the formal "affirmative" and "negative" rather than "yes" and "no". He is separated from The Doctor and Romana when their universe, and the universes of Dipper Pines and Kung Lao collide, before he and the TARDIS reunite with The Doctor and Romana during the third season.
