I haven't a homeworld for him yet; he may as well be native to far-future Earth, should it be required.

Here's another question though: by the looks of it, Melon's character comes from an Earth where magic is existent; my character (surprisingly) does too. What about Pollen's though? Would that be a common point, or does their character come from a more mundane version of the exact same planet, without magic? The tear gas and flashbangs do give off a technology oriented vibe.

Eh, not much point going to that much of a stretch just to interlink some characters that will probably rarely get to interact anyway.

@MelonHead

You get in that fuckin' Tardis or so help me God..

I'll go outside right now and throw a whole box of Earl Gray into the fuckin' river.

How the hell are we going to pay our war debts and stop you speaking French now? All that delicious... delicious tea.

That's it, I'm going to Canada and asking them to burn down your damn white-house again.

@Vordak

My character comes from a very low-fantasy world, basically our world, as far as the lore is concerned only he and his sister actually have any powers, and they don't go flaunting them about.

@Vordak

My character doesn't really use 'magic' (his powers are pretty mundane, mostly biological enhancements), but it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to have it exist in his world. Even if it didn't, he'd have to have gone wandering a bit to reach the GCL in the first place, so he could easily have ended up running into an alternate Earth or something by accident.

EDIT: sounds like it fits in better with Melon's... so maybe it'd work best for Vordak to be the one who ends up happening upon the Melon/Pollen Earth.

[Vordak]

Doesn't quite seem like this is going to work out - at least, i'm out of ideas. But its not too big of a deal in the end, since the league is an 'every man for himself' event.

@MelonHead

Why? It was the British Royal Army that burned down the White House.

Also, I'm Amerindian. I don't have to pay war debts.

Or taxes.

I do what I want, and anyone who tries to stop me is a racist.

[MelonHead]

Well, we could always just use the Nexus of Worlds, it's perfect for things like this. Alternate dimensions and times basically feed into eachother as the Nexus has grown unstable. My character can be thrown forward in time, Vordak's backwards. What does your character do Pollen? Don't suppose they might be hired to investigate some unsavoury characters appearing out of no-where?

@Vordak

True. I was gonna mess you up either way, so it's not like a hypothetical prior encounter would have changed much :P

Way funnier to say the Canadians did it.

@MelonHead

My character is a hit man... so he'd probably be hired to kill them.

On the other hand, he's also the type who'd turn on his employers if he saw a better opportunity.

[ImportantNobody]

Evvie will fit into any setting. Just BAM! Dragon girl falls from the sky and silly antics ensue.

[Vordak]

How does the hit-manning fit into the whole non-lethal format of the league though? :P

@Vordak

He's aiming for an alternative lifestyle, one that would let him use his talents while still living a comfortable life (without having to worry about getting found out and having to go on the run). His abilities actually work well for winning non-lethally, so long as he's not using guns.

[Darth]

@MelonHead

/Baps him with a newspaper

HISTORICAL ACCURACY, OLD CHUM.

PIP PIP.

Also, just have all your characters meet on Gaia. Most of the people in our community treat Gaia as something of a multiverse hub anyways. All sorts of shit filters through the multiverse and ends up on Gaia.

@Darth

No one cares about the history any more...

A HISTORIAN SHOULD KNOW BETTER!

[Darth]

They'll care when you assault them with historical fact via a book to the teeth.

@Darth

Sadly that's the only way for historical revision to permeate the mass-populace and break down common misconceptions these days, as academics care more about climbing to even loftier heights atop their ivory tower while post-modernists circle around firing off pot-shots with paint-ball guns.

Even as the book comes whistling in someone will conduct a Derridean deconstruction and the book will burst into flames.

what is history?

[MelonHead]

Also, @Athinar I'm not ignoring you but I'm not taking any more ranked fights at the moment. I know Enki was looking for a fight in general, so you might be able to ask them, don't know about anyone in particular interested in ranked combat though.

[ImportantNobody]

What Pokemon type would everyone say their characters are? A rookie mistake would consider Evvie a fire/flying, but it's better to say she's a fighting/dragon. A fighting dragon Pokemon could actually be very cool.

*********

It's hard coming up with a child character who's parents aren't dead, negligent, oblivious, or obliviously negligent. "Oh, you want to explore the multiverse alone, fighting dangerous monsters the likes of which we've never seen and will most likely die or seldom visit me? Have fun sweetie!"

I'm sure there's a large tv trope page for orphan characters, especially I Disney movies. Guess I could just go that route some more. I do have a couple characters with hilariously negligent fathersz bet they could bond together and their fathers becoming drinking buddies.
