@Theyra Hmm, i know Bruce and Sep already said they are trying to keep away from defunct timelines and alternate universes for the moment as this is still the very dawn of the Superhero age. But i think characters who have time travel as part of their backstory (Like Booster Gold and Bishop) might be alright. Worst the GMs can say is... Well, honestly the absolute worst they can say is "Get the fuck out, you're banned" but that's not likely.

In the instance of Cable since he's already technically introduced, whether or not we see him hinges not just on how the concept fits the game but how the concept fits @Pacifista plans. Solely because young Nathan is a large part of Janes origin story and why she is doing what she's doing, so to introduce Cable it would have to be done exactly right or as they already identified it could completely derail their plans.

Okay, never mind then, I will not try to use Cable since it will not work in this case. The only other thought I had for a possbile second char would be one of Cyclops' brothers granted I have no idea what story to have with them and if again it conflicts with someone else, possibly Pacifista's chars because of Cyclop. Then, I will drop the issue.

So, I'm gonna be the old fart spoilsport here and say that, generally, picking up a second character is a terrible idea. It spreads people thin and, more times than not, leads to dropping. We've seen it already with some who had to drop one character because taking on a second was too much. It's been the trend for years and years in these games. I think I can count on just two hands the amount of times I've witnessed a player running two characters successfully without any issues arising in the last eleven years of these games. And it's particularly tough to manage when the player isn't entirely sure what to do with either character.

I know I'm in the minority with this opinion. Still, I'd always recommend focusing on telling a good story with just one concept opposed to splitting focus. But, again, I'm just the old fart spoilsport.

I mean I'm going to say at this moment in time you should focus on Slade, and the only way I'd accept a second sheet from you is if you were dropping Slade. Simply because you keep saying you're not sure where/what you're doing with him, and now you're not sure what you're doing with a new character.

Most people push for a second because they have a story they want to tell.

Very true, I've got an idea for an aztec reimagining of Black Panther, but I'm keeping it well on the back burner for the time being until I get where I want to be with Black Knight.

I have accidentally done a thing. It is no longer Stark being held prisoner.

There is still someone smart being held prisoner, and technological systems shutting down all over. I just need to think of a replacement.

Replaced Stark with Trask

I am unsure what I can do next with Deadpool. I was planning on him interacting with Deathstroke or perhaps Wolverine, but I am uncertain if I should hold onto that and establish more of his relationship with Vanessa or meet Domino again and then work together. Would I be able to get some help with some ideas? Also, work has been very stressful this week, so it might take me a little longer to get my post out. Sorry.

Maybe a longer misson over the course of a couple of posts would be cool? It would be nice to see his relationship with Vanessa develop a bit too, I've not really read many Deadpool comics in my time but she's a pretty central character in the movies so it might give him a good character arc to have something more to fight for than just money if you involve her in the greater storyline?

Mmm i was thinking she could be kidnapped by William Stryker to be experimented on. Or tortured for some reason. And Deadpool along with Domino has to save her. I can also build more on his relationship with her. Maybe have her introduce him to other mutants.

That could be cool! I'd defo build up his relationship with her and Domino before this though, it would make it more impactful at the conclusion I think.

Well. There you go then.

@mattmanganon just to give you a shout the Crimson Flame is a Red Lantern but... Without a lantern. She's the daughter of Alan Scotts nemesis Lantern whos body has the power of the crimson flame. If you wanna detect that or ignore it that's upto you, just thought I'd give you a shout.

I should add @mattmanganon if you do detect it I'd rather you put it in the 'problem for later' column. Steve's still got a way to go before he's ready to hang out with Americans

I am alive and working on a post in the background. It is just a very busy month for me, so it's taking longer than I would like. Should have the next post out within the next few days, and be back to a more regular posting schedule once October rolls around.
