I'll respond this evening to everyone! Been a weird work week with the 4th coming up...

@Omega Man

Ooh, I like the Rogue/Ravager idea! I think I'll develop that! Given the meanings of both 'rogue' and 'ravager', and the fact she temporarily steals powers, I'm thinking 'Marauder'

Edit: Besides Terminator, what would the supporting Amalgms in this backstory be? An Amalgam with Mystique? Should she have initially been a villain to Titan X?

If it were me, I'd make her mom a combo of Lady Shiva and Mystique and call her Lady Mystique. And you could make her a villain originally who joined the group at some point in it's nine year history. The name Marauder works well too!

<Snipped quote by Omega Man>

Ohhh shoot I missed that. I'll just change him to Psimon Sinister! Unless you had other plans for the kind of villain he is? Or in this case, if it would break it timeline-wise?

Psimon Sinister is still mostly Mister Sinister just with the added bonus of having telepathy and telekinesis as well as part of his brain exposed similar to Psimon. I think he still fits with what you were shooting for...

Anybody else out there watching this?

@Omega Man

Lady Mystique won't be Marauder's family but both Rogue and Ravager started out as villains, and Rogue was a villain under Mystique. It could also be who taught her how to fight

Writing up the CS now

DC/Marvel Characters Used: Rogue and Ravager

Name: Anna-Marie Wilson

Alias: Marauder

Age: 21

Powers: Upon physical contact, Marauder steals the life force of anybody she touches. This severely weakens them, reduces the effectiveness of their own powers and weakens any invulnerabilities their power gives them. Marauder then temporarly possesses the powers of those she touched. This also copies emotions and memories, but for an even shorter timeframe.

She will eventually lose the newfound powers, memories and emotions as her victim recovers, with one exception; her father. Marauder permentantly has the powerset of Terminator; increased reflexes, stamina, agility, speed, strength and heightened mental acuity.

Weaknesses: Having the powerset of her father at all times also results in his emotions and memories being tangled with her own, resulting in occasional bouts of psychosis.

Borrowed powers only last ten minutes at most, and borrowed memories only last one minute.

Team Affiliation: Titan X formerly the Brotherhood

Personality: Passionate, Emotional, Rebellious, Affectionate, Impulsive

Appearance:


BRIEF Bio: Anna-Marie grew up in Mississipi, raised for the first few years of her life by her Cambodian mother. One day, when Anna-Marie was only four years old, her mother disappeared and she was discovered by neighbors. She was promptly put up for adoption and lived with the Wilson family. She grew up a troubled child who constantly butted heads with her strict mother and her distant father.

When she was only ten years old, she ran away from home and lived from City to City as a homeless runaway. She acquired the money and food she needed by pickpocketing and shoplifting. With no clues on the location of her mother, she nevertheless managed to track down her biological father, Slade Castle, who forbade her from following him as he wouldn't be able to take care of her. Hurt and dejected, Anna-Marie fell into young and angry, anarchic crowds.

It was in one of these gangs that she had her first boyfriend. But when they finally had their first kiss. Her boyfriend was put into a coma. It was then she discovered that she had just awakened a mutant ability that steals the life force of others. This quickly attracted the attention of the mutant Lady Mystique, who took the young confused mutant under her wing and trained her in martial arts.

With the new alias, 'Marauder', Anna-Marie was an active member of the Brotherhood of Mutants and helped execute many of their plans. Shequickly discovered that her touch didn't just steal life force, but also the powers of others, letting her temporarily use them as her own. It was not long in this life of terrorist activism that she crossed paths with her father, this time as foes. Something strange happened when she used her power on him; Her newly acquired powers of enhanced speed, strength, stamina and reflexes, did not go away. No matter how much time passed. It must be because they were related.

She naturally clashed with Titan X many times over the years but when she was twenty years old, she was finally captured. At first she was a prisoner, but an unintended sude effect of perminantly having her father's powers was that she would frequently have bouts of psychosis where his memories and personality would blur with hers. She begged Scott Grayson for help, and from there began her slow rehabilitation. She is still not quite trusted enough to be an active member of Titan X but it was quickly shown that she was a compassionate person with a strong sense of justice who wanted to help people. She was just angry and misguided.

Supporting cast/characters: Terminator (Punisher + Deathstroke), Lady Mystique (Lady Shiva + Mystique)

Amalgam Universe Notes: Anna-Marie also speaks Khmer and French in addition to English.

@Silver Carrot Damn good CS!

I *think* that puts us at 4 or 5 players... still need a couple more if anybody else is watching!

@Omega Man Would this stll be able to be run with the current roster? I think we're all on the same team so far so might be possible with the smaller group?

Maybe the OOC might attract a few more. Hoping that we'll get more players in the interest check if we wait long enough....might not work

I'm gonna get the OOC/IC up over the weekend. I may switch to another character and make Night Vision the mentor type of character. Probably go with Hellcrawler. That'll give us at least one more on the roster of heroes.

@Half Pint I'm glad you came back, look what I finally found on the internet again...

Was gonna say F it and go ahead and move forward with Night Vision, cause I just couldn't do the justice I felt Hellcrawler deserved, then I got a surge of inspiration and came up with a couple more Amalgams. Azreal (the 'space angel') + Angel to make the Earth Angel or maybe I'll go with Kid Flash + Cannonball to make Kid Cannonball.

I think I'm going with Kid Cannonball, but I'm gonna go ahead and do a write up for an IC opener while I've got the right headspace. Gotta try and get my 2.8 year old down for a nap soon though...
