@Sep As I said I'm (mostly) joking. Yeah I guess Question is the non-parody form of the same character but I wanted to go for full derangement lmao

@Sep The real trick would be emulating one of these people enough to be funny, and not enough to be upsetting. He'd be more like a right-wing Oracle in this day and age, I think. Just a completely deranged conspiracy blogger, C&D notices from InfoWars from calling Alex Jones a reptilian stacked up to the ceiling.

Semi-joking concept: Rorschach, the world's first Q-Anon supporting superhero.

@Sep Literally just a picture of Stan Lee circa 1980. Not pictured: him screwing Jack Kirby out of royalties and literally screwing Kirby's wife.

Considering maybe adding to the vampire lore, possibly with I, Vampire, possibly Lilith Drake, still looking for an ideal candidate.

Would anyone be interested in "rescuing" Doctor Fate from a mugging? New York City can be a dangerous place for a senior citizen.

@Sep And so I wait. Looking into some other potential avenues. I can smell the cocaine trawling these DC and Marvel databases.

I can sit on the idea. I have a few more irons in the fire. The question in the meantime is if anyone wants a golden wizard to explode into their scene.

@Sep I don't have a problem doing that, I just thought it would be an interesting spin. I didn't actually plan for him to be around Storm/T'Challa all that much, owing to how much he butts heads with Black Panther. He would mostly be a nuisance for Director America, who was one of Thor's closest allies on Earth.

@Sep It shouldn't invalidate Thor if someone wanted to play him.

My idea was for Magni Thorson, Thor's oldest child and heir. Due to a potential threat against the lives of the Asgardian royal family, he and his siblings have been sent away to other worlds, under the care of Thor's allies.

Magni has been sent to live with his mother and stepfather, Storm and T'Challa, the latter of which he doesn't really get along with.

As a character I'm imagining Magni as mostly just being a young and impetuous Thor. A divine prince living in exile, and none too happy about the matter.

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.

Keeping my eyes open for an appropriate place for Doctor Fate to jump in.

In the meantime, I may be drafting a Driving character. How would we feel about Thor as King of Asgard? That's not the character I'm proposing, but would be important to it.

Related, is anything going on with Storm right now?
