@PWGM - Per my DM, I'm withdrawing my application for this one. Thank you so much for the chance to apply and for your thoughtful feedback on Afterthought. I had fun making him.
Best of luck to you in all your villainous endeavors!
How disruptive are you seeing this being?
I can assure you that several of the other players will happily sell you to the V'sori if you look to be bringing too much of a threat home. Your secret getting out will cause collateral damage.
I am leaning towards disallowing this background if combined with a desire to publicize your resurrection/existence. Dr. Destroyer would happily make use of you but not as a cell member. You would be an expendable distraction or a single-use weapon. You would not be allowed into the organization. You are too much of a risk.
Now without the desire to publicize and instead a desire to keep your secret. That could work.
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

Sorry to see you go. Please keep us in mind if things change.

Sounds good just need the questions and a character to review.
Wonder Boy
Are you still interested? Because I am about to reopen recruitment....

Are you still interested? Because I am about to reopen recruitment...."I as a GM can tell you that that path is long and it is winding and I fully expect to kill several PC's along the way and I am not a killer GM.
I hope the above made sense, I may have painted a slightly darker picture than actual play will provide but I am trying my best to align our expectations.
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have."
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.
Wonder Boy
Just to clarify things for me... You were not active as a meta-human before you were incinerated, correct?
And maybe answering this might be useful.
g) What have you been doing lately? How have you spent the last two years under V'sori occupation? The campaign starts the players as prisoners of the V'sori invaders. Were you a prisoner? If so what was the V'sori attitude to you? Indifference? Interest & Interrogation? Experimentation? How long were you in captivity? If you remained free how did you manage that? Friends? Luck? Blending in to the general population?
From you previous answer it seems that you have been living by theft/violence and purposefully keeping a low profile. That assuages most of my fears. I was afraid you were going to mount a one man invasion of Beachhead. I may be misunderstanding things.
Hmmmmm... what if yow were not at the ceremony where Champion died. That beam was unique, as far as you know, but it was not the only place where orbital energy weapons were used. You could have been blown up in a different, less panic inducing attack. Say a day or two after the Betrayal or even during the Phony War. It is quite possible that you think you were at the ceremony or that you are spreading that story to engender hope.
And if you were at the ceremony you were there as an intern/relative/arm candy right? You were not say a congress-critter in your own right or an employee of a Three Letter Agency? Is it possible that you were on the periphery of the ceremony? Say more than a block from Champion? Or even inside the White House when the beam came down?
The main issue is not that you reintegrated after the Betrayal attack. The main issue is you being too close to Champion in that moment.
Anyway those are some of my random thoughts.
Let me know..
