I think there needs to be some kind of connection between Wondie's Greek Gods and the Asgardians. Or at least something to explain why some Gods are "real" and others are "just magic aliens."

@Sep Oh I see, you're going off the more recent versions that have Fate as actually Nabu in control of Kent's body via the helmet. I'm going further back than that; the helmet is just a (magic) helmet, Fate is merely Kent's superhero persona.

@Sep That's basically what I was already intending to do; I've even listed him as Sorcerer Supreme in his CS.

As an aside, I think introducing Doctor Strange as essentially his protege could be really interesting down the road.

@Mao Mao I mean that Wondie is a "magic" hero in the sense that her origin and usual enemies are generally magical in nature, what with the Greek gods and all.

@Sep Wondie, Cap, and Fate were all in WWII, I imagine, though Fate was the only one that was there as a "regular" soldier.

@Mao Mao I think given that each of them is over 100 years old, and is a Magic hero, Diana and Kent are probably fairly close within the Justice League, and could go on to found Justice League Dark together if that becomes a thing. What do you think?

Essentially what I'm going for with this Doctor Fate is representing a classic golden-age style of hero, the super-wizard. In particular I intend for Kent to have been the original Doctor Fate, trained in the mystic arts in the 1960s by Nabu, the Ancient One. While he's an ageless sorcerer, he's an old man from a human perspective, as he was a veteran of both World Wars and didn't become a superhero until he was in his 60s. Kent is as powerful as ever, but the modern world is moving faster and faster every day, and he may be looking to pass the torch of Sorcerer Supreme to someone else, or at least be willing to take on one or a few apprentices. He has some of Doctor Strange's canon worked into him, but is essentially his predecessor and does not preempt Doctor Strange's existence, should that come down the line.

I want Kent to work as a Roaming Character, and in essence serve as the "tent pole" for all of the magic/supernatural heroes and villains that we accumulate, potentially culminating in the formation of the Magic Avengers/Justice League Dark. Think of him as more or less being Magic Superman for Magic Superheroes. As I said, he's taking more of a sideline role these days, looking to pass the torch to the next generation, which is why I prefer that Kent be a Roaming rather than Driving character. That said, any number of plots could be started from his rogue's gallery, or that of any other magic character in the roster; demons, dark ones, chaos lords, evil sorcerers, cthulhu, all fair game if Doctor Fate is in play.

On a personal level, I want to play Doctor Fate because I love magic characters (and need to get back to them, since I've been playing a lot of alien/sci-fi characters lately), and I want to play a classic super-wizard. I think Kent has a lot of potential for character drama by leveraging his status as Sorcerer Supreme and his high and mighty persona as Doctor Fate against his much more personable secret identity of an old archaeologist.

As I said before, while I haven't gone full Doctor StrangeFate (because Xavier is already taken) he has borrowed some elements from Doctor Strange, and should serve just as effectively in his place should none arise. I'm imagining his version of the Eye of Agamotto is instead the Eye of Anubis, and may have the Soul Stone embedded in it rather than the Time Stone.

Still up to the whims of Fate.

Haha, never fuckin mind, I have a great idea for a character.

Your Fate is Sealed

Maybe I'll just pick something truly off the wall. Conan, maybe.

I think it matters far more to me that you play someone you A) want to play and then B) have longevity with. That matters more than filling any perceived holes or obligations.

@Lord Wraith

As much as I understand and appreciate the sentiment, it's still not helping my indecision paralysis 😅

Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

@Sep Yeah it's mostly that I'm suffering from decision paralysis/choice overload right now, so if getting "big names" covered is something you all want, I can oblige.

@Hound55 I was thinking of either Spawn or Invincible, to narrow it down a good bit.

Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

I'm still working out a concept. I was thinking about mashing together Martian Manhunter and Silver Surfer, but I don't really want Galactus to get involved at this point. I was also thinking about doing something with Hulkling, but he'd probably be too similar to Superboy.

I guess I'm more curious what we're hurting for right now? I could use some restriction/direction to help focus lol.

Also wondering if it might be possible to use Image Comics in this at all.
