I want a Discord invite!
But I also want to say that I think SL's idea is amazing. Seems like that character could end up being great friends with Dani Moonstar.

4 hours and no one has taken the bait!?!?
"Have you tried ... NOT being a mutant?"
My apologies ... have been working my way through the long & winding path and the slightly darker picture: maybe only Wonder Boy knows his truth though. Maybe sharing it gives the team hope, hope that they know they cannot share just yet, but hope nevertheless. Maybe that's a little lighter than the campaign can handle? lmk. I can sign up for a struggle, hopeless would be hard to game thru tho.
I am probably good either way. He can just be bitter about losing his friend. I just finished watching INVINCIBLE again, I'm not sure it gets too much darker tbh
Jacen would have been a 'guest' for sure, of anyone who wanted to hang out with a 23 year old model (and could pay for it) The Hindrance is 100% spot-on, so now I am trying to think if I should pair it with something like a VOW (to make sure that people know his story, and that the potential of humanity is limitless)
Well hopefully his questions are okay and the team can use a semi-rich semi-cute semi-returnedfromthedead Flying Brick. He's based off Marvel's Wonder Man, of course, throwing in some Kori Andrs semi-kinda alien origin with some underwear modeling AND some anger issues a la both Raven AND Angel (after his wings were cut off).
oh wait, I answered the questions first, sorry :( QUESTIONS: a) What is your concept? Give me a one or two sentence description of your character. WONDER BOY, the Vsori Nightmare. Jacen Hawke ‘reintegrated’ – in the aftermath of the energy weapons bombardment, Jacen emerged seemingly unscathed, suffused with ionic energy which also seemed to both replace and enhance his biology. If the human genome could do this once, it stands to reason it could do it again. And again. And again. b) What do you look like? Hair/eye color? Height and Weight? Costume? Think of what your mug shot would look like.
c) What can you do? What separates you from the masses? Brains? Training? Acidic blood? Magic tea cozy?
d) What have you done? What separates you from a random survivor? That he didn’t “survive” Describe a typical crime. There is a reason you could not be at the welcoming ceremony with Champion. He was though. If you are a hero give me an example of your heroism and tell me why you were not incinerated for standing with Champion? He was though. e) What have you been doing lately? How have you spent the last two years under V'sori occupation? Most importantly tell me about your capture by the V’sori. Yes you have been captured, no this cannot be negotiated. I’m not entirely sure I understand the 2nd part of the question all that well. Mostly Jacen has been knocking over 7-11s around closing time, and killing isolated Vsori patrols when he is angry. f) What have you seen in the world? Detail a hero or a villain or an ordinary person you have ran into, worked with, fought, or just heard about. Maybe a member of Alpha Squadron you tangled with. Maybe a criminal mastermind you worked for. Maybe a taxi driver or whoever ran the newsstand near your old lair. Make them interesting. Think of yourself as pitching a 1 or 2 issue special series for the Necessary Evil comic book we are all creating.
g) What is the greatest thing in life? What is your desired end state/goal. Tell me what is important to you.
or just call Tony Stark and ask to collaborate. I keep hoping this will actually happen.After getting my hand slapped, i backed off, but I'm here if we want me.
Any thoughts on transitioning to the new Marvel Multiverse system when it's released this summer? I just wondered because I bought the playtest book and I really like it.
Could Thunderer return? I hope so
WOW - hard to imagine moving off of Discord: I actually had to reduce the number of notifications I was receiving, for my own servers and for the ones I had joined. I had a Discord notification like every 30 seconds. I would happily ressurect Wonder Boy, even if only for him to hang out with Bantha ;)
Are we back to recruiting here? #DAMN - good luck!
Take care everyone.
"Emma, please stop teasing. Wonder, please come down." Thunderer said exasperatedly. "Like I said Odinsonsonsonsonson ... the big league telepaths and the island can find me, and at least Bantha had my back suggesting the door, nice thinking! Bye guys."
** spoiler omitted ** Spoiler: and it's not like the island can't just do what it wants, again, anyway. kinda like showing up black and having someone call the cops #RUDE #EVIL
Psyche check (the evil one no doubt)
"Stop! You'll fly right through the ceiling! Just stay here, dude."
Simon looks around, looks confused ... and slowly powers down "Wow, you are really good at stuff. Just wow. Yeah. There's a roof here. Jeez. Thanks for the assist! It's great that you are so focused about passing on your genetic material; there should totally be more really smart mutants like you. If I ruined the bar, Blob could like sit on me or something, which might acutally be worse than the white (w)itch ..."
Are you able to open either the one in the above message or in the campaign tab? It cut and pastes fine, but in the message, it doesn't use link-syntax so it isn't active as a link. Try this: UNIVERSAL TABLE Repost this without the space before the final bracket:
[b]"Nah ... the longer this takes, the more I seem to remember. If my "father" was a pain in the ass to YOU, I don't even have words for her ... Grey & Xavier are better telepaths anyway, call a real one. They'll find me ... the island did."
Josef squeezed his bridge of his nose with his fingers in embarrassed frustration. "Emma Frost. Wonder Boy. Wonder Boy Emma Frost. In addition to several newcomers." Simon looks at Thunderer "Like I said ... you could maybe call one of the real leaders?"
Wonder Boy flies up again ...
Josef squeezed his bridge of his nose with his fingers in embarrassed frustration. "Emma Frost. Wonder Boy. Wonder Boy Emma Frost. In addition to several newcomers."
"I feel like the pleasure must be hers ..." Simon seems to think for a minute "Which way did everyone say is EAST!?"
"She might surprise you ... and now what, you validate that I'm not a "security breach" somehow? That your island didn't choose badly?"
Wonder Boy looks sad and a little scared ... "Why did only the evil telepath show up? Thundererer, could you please use your special powers and call the telepathic leader people again? I do not really want to talk to the scary lady who exposes herself dressing like Amora. Maybe even my 2ndary genetic contributor would be better ..."
I lost another day also
"Wait ... the rich telepathic bald Professor? The one who created the school in New York that my 2GC tried to destroy? You were there were you not? That's amazing! Do you know him, the Professor?" Simon is clearly incredulous; none of this had ANYTHING to do with Asgard or Magic. This was mutant life. It was SO real ...
"I am excited about the Tikis, but Josef, maybe you could tell us: is there one of those large rooms of books here? Karnilla had one, and there was a set of books in the order of the alphabet; it is called an encyclopedia. I want to stay there forever until I know things like all of you."
He takes a deep breath ... you can tell Simon is about to ask one of his questions as he turns to Bantha "Hi again, I'm Simon :) I had a question. I think I may have been created to be slightly older than you, but I'm not sure. You seem to extensively examine the younger female mutants; no one told me to do that, but am I supposed to? I really don't want to do anything wrong or seem lazy ...
A little blue spec seems to appear, very high in the sky, but it gets larger rapidly ... Wonder Boy seems to have a slight smile on his face. "Everything at once" is certainly a promotion from "security breach," it's also a good description of how I woke up the other day"he looks a little serious for a moment " ... and I really did try, but I am not sure where 'east' is, so the best I could do was 'up' - this island is really really in the middle of a VERY big ocean." "Could we go to see the beverage Tiki's AND also speak to one of the telepathic leaders? and could the telepathic leader NOT be my mutant genetic contributor, or the lady who I understand to be a lot like my non-Mother? I would appreciate that." "I don't think that's right. You're a mutant. You're supposed to be here. At least try it out for a few days." "Thank you; I am not sure if that is totally true, but I do think I am here now, and I appreciate it. I am still concerned that I do not have what it takes to make additional mutants ..."
We need GM for ... ? Wonder Boy can certainly turn around. Like I said, if he loses sight of Krakoa before he can see, like Hawaii, he's going to have to fly high enough to start seeing North America in order to find LA. No one else flies or can talk to the island? It's not like he's going to listen to the Professor or Jean. Emma Frost may remind him of Enchantress actually ...
"Wait, where are you going?" "I guess I am going to Los Angeles to be a model because that's what my non-grandmother told me to do in the first place." Simon smiles a very very warm & beautiful smile "Take care and stay safe, you all really are lucky"
guess this got lost ... ... having actually been "born yesterday" so to speak, Simon might have wanted/deserved a touch more of the big brother attitude versus the security breach attitude. For sure does not mean that anyone might not want to call in the big leaguers to take a look, but treating him like a Skrull instead of a fellow mutant sorta sucks BUT
it's a group of resourceful young mutants, right? the whole principle is to deal with the unexpected, right? "speed bumps are us" right? so get to it! he obviously had no intention to be there in the first place, so clearly the island brought him there to begin with, maybe ask the island for help? what you know is, an absolutely clueless young person just flew away from you, professing he would go east, apparently having only gone up, and you have ZERO faith that he has any idea where "east" is
jeeez, did my post not post?
Wonder Boy takes off, mostly upward ...
A soft glow forms all around Wonder Boy as he prepares to take off "It was really nice to meet some of you. It's so good that this place is here for people, other people I mean. Real mutants I mean. It seems it is very difficult to be different in this world."
"Maybe I should go ... I am excited that I fulfilled my destiny though! It happened much faster than I thought it would. I did not even know this island-being was here." "But I can certainly leave if that's better. Los Angeles is the only other thing I feel compelled to do or see, as a courtesy to my grandmother before I return to Nornheim. I was excited to be "normal" and know what Tiki's are, and drink, but I will just fly east. Los Angeles is east ...
"I'm a little different, but I'm not sure I'm a breach ... " Wonder Boy gets a little bug-eyed "Wait ... is my secondary genetic contributor here!?!?!? I was told he was not alive on Earth anymore!
"How are mutants created withOUT magic? Are we supposed to know? It seemed like the dark gentleman who smelled a lot like magic was telling us to go create more ... I am not sure I can create things." "I can read though! Are there books about it!?!?"
"jajajajajaja, omg, that was a joke! That was awesome! That is so cool, I want to do that too! Simon looks thoughtful for a moment, opens his mouth to speak, but pauses ...
"I do not know the Williams(es?) and I do not know the Quireses; I do not even know if any of those individuals are alive, let alone how to pronounce the names. Maybe Omega being my last name is another joke? Do Asgard people make jokes also?" "I think maybe grandmother was meant for me as a lesson, a lesson about how to show affection maybe? The Lady Karnilla is perhaps the greatest Mage in all of Asgard's history ... her greatest apprentice, Amora, is my creator. My creation, however, appears to have been unintentional, and so Karnilla intercepted me as I was let loose into the world; she helped me. She used her powers to implant some knowledge of the world in me, trained me somewhat in a timeless space where I could break things but not myself, and created an identity for me so that I could go to Los Angeles and try to be ... Simon Omega" "It was when I asked her name that she said, "well my boy, I have several, but perhaps 'grandmother' is best for you. She smiled and told me that in all of Asgard, and Nornheim, and Midgard, there had never been a mutant created by magic and enhanced by science, and that although I could not fight my destiny of meeting Thor's decendant, after that, I would always find welcome in Nornheim."
"So, you're not a mutant then?" The young man with the glowing eyes shakes his head, looking even more confused. Simon frowns at this, looking a little sad "I am very very much a mutant, and I do understand, somewhat what it means. I really do have two fathers, and so my last name is "Omega". It seems there was a very powerful mutant who was NOT a hero, and he is my 2nd father. It is a little confusing for me, my grandmother placed many many memories in me. I think his name was like, Quentin Omega. Something like that. I do not think he was crazy, but I do think he made many bad choices."
"Well I didn't do it myself, but yes. He is one of my fathers! My grandmother said that is one of the reasons I am handsome. Almost everything I know, she taught me, and the hero name and costume came from her as well." The young man blushes "I wasn't sure that she thought so or was helping me understand, or maybe both."
"More human." Are we not allowed to be both? Val sighs and follows the big Norse fellow. "All right. Tiki bar sounds good. The drinking age isn't 21 here, is it?" "Thunderer! Wow, that is cool! I sort of have a grandmother, and she had a funny smile when she first called me Wonder Boy. I'm not totally sure what a Tiki is, but I am certainly thirsty enough to drink many things."
Val looks around, uncertainty written all over his face. "I think I get the second and third rules. But, ah, number one? Do you mean we make mutants the, ah, traditional way? 'Cause that seems like, well, a lot of pressure." His cheeks color.
"I think maybe he means magic; I'm a mutant, and I was made the other day! Is that traditional? Because I do not know magic myself so I think it might be hard for me to make another mutant, although when I meet the Lost Son of Asgard maybe I can help him make a mutant ...
"Hey Thunder and Wonder! (Does that make me 'Sunder?') I got some churros for everyone. What are we doing today?" Now I want to order churros ...
Thanks again for posting the whole repository of game books at the outset, that was really awesome. I think I read about 200+ characters before I came up with this idea, and it was pretty cool to reconnect with the continuity over all.
LOL maybe give it another shot?
and is that pic like a real pic, or some kind of CGI or what?
Dotted (Dottered?) You're referring to the 45th President? That's "Dotard" ...
