@Retired My John Jones I was considering doing was from an old Young Justice RP, but I'm less keen on doing that one right now because I will probably be playing an alien in another game.

I'll run by you which idea you think you'd rather see.

Kid Apocalypse is a "toy left out of its box," an ancient experiment by the Celestials to combine their technology with the limitless mutagenic potential of the X-Gene. The cells of his body are made from living metal nanomachines, which he can manipulate into different configurations. Essentially a T-1000 that can copy mutant powers. In any case he was left dormant deep underground after his creation, and what awoke him was some kind of apocalypse taking place on Earth. He emerged into a ruined Earth, and eventually formed a "tribe" of survivors that he protects and leads through the wasteland.

John Jones is also a psychic shapeshifter, but is an alien infiltrator dispatched by the Martians to colonize Earth. He was implanted into his mother after she was abducted by a UFO, and she gave birth to him and raised him not realizing that he was a pink grub and not a human baby. A mix of shapeshifting and subconsciously-broadcast hypnosis kept others from realizing he wasn't human his entire life, including John until he was a teenager. The revelation that he wasn't human, just some kind of monster pretending to be, was a such a shock to him that he became a teenage delinquent. He's unknowingly waiting on a psychic signal from Mars that will activate him as well as the other sleeper agents on Earth, but the ongoing Martian Civil War may complicate that.
I'm into it. I have a misbegotten alien hero I've been wanting to use for a while.
Alright, I can have Kid Apocalypse along in short order, or if we've got too much Marvel stuff I have a John Jones I can use as well.
@Retired I would think that a character like a MtG planeswalker would fit in well enough; it's a pretty comic-esque atmosphere, that or I was going to pull a character from a weird fantasy webcomic that I'm fond of.

In both cases there are canonical instances of some force/individual interfering with the ability to planeswalk/open magus gates so I would only consider it a nerf insofar as other characters being stripped of their equipment as you mentioned.

EDIT: None of this being a deal-breaker per say. I have an idea for a Kid Apocalypse variant waiting in the wings.
@Retired Actually what you've described has made things much clearer, thank you.

One more question; how would you feel about a character that has a concept of/travels through the multiverse already? The multiverse being an in-fiction concept that the character themselves is familiar with. I obviously don't plan to do anything game-breaking with this (say their ability to travel between universes has been restricted by Mojo somehow) but I wanted to see if that would put you off a character.
Interested, but this mention here gives me pause.

While I will judge all sheets equally and fairly, I urge you to use your better judgment if you are considering other properties. For instance, I am far more likely to accept a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle than I am a Powerpuff Girl... Likewise, something like a Transformer will be automatically rejected.


What standards are you imposing for your selection? The three properties you listed aren't giving me a very clear idea of what you do or don't want.
I asked in the intcheck but didn't get an answer, given how this is SCP inspired, is it possible to play a character that isn't human?
These seems like it could be interesting. Are all of the facility inmates human? Going by the SCP inspiration I wonder if it would be possible to play an extraterrestrial.
Uhh a lot of you were probably anticipating/dreading this announcement but my work/life balance has kind of gone to hell over the last few weeks, and I've had some mental health stuff that needs dealing with, so I don't think I have the time or energy to run this.

Really sorry for dragging it out this long, I didn't want to disappoint you guys.

I am fully supportive if anyone wants to take up the reigns, I'll even promote a few people to Co-GM of this thread if there's a reasonable consensus.
@DostHou I'd prefer to keep things in the OOC for various reasons.
