So quick question for @Gowi should Magneto be accepted as he is:

For someone wanting to play Wanda or her kids, or potentially Pietro, what's the limit on doing that, since they basically don't exist in this universe? Would I be allowed to pretty much House of M that shit via alternate reality Wanda?

I just wanna prepare for the worst, 'cause I've been semi-planning on taking either Billy or Wanda to begin with. Wanda's gonna be involved regardless because finding out who his real mother is, then finding her is core to a lot of versions of Wiccan. This version would likely not be an exception, even if I change a lot of aspects of him. Anyway, I juggled the ideas between Daredevil and them before ultimately deciding on Matt and potentially bringing Billy or Wanda in later. Or when I have time, as I do in the coming days.

I really do not wanna use the Age of Ultron method for bring Wanda and Pietro in 'cause that's gross.

To quote my rules—

Legacies (NPCs, sidekicks, rogues) fall under the jurisdiction of the hero they are traditionally designed around. If you want to play The Joker, The Batman player has to be okay with it and your information should never contradict...

—we’ve got this pretty much covered. Essentially what this means is any offspring of Magneto is pretty much the Magneto player's territory and as long as it’s within reason what you say about it is the bottom line unless you go inactive. I would however keep all mentions and usages of alternate reality (and time-space in general) to a “probably not” due to the fact we’re still laying foundations here and going into that territory is very precocious.

So, just like everyone else, I also want to pursue a secondary character. My goal was to have a Marvel and DC character so I could participate on both sides of the spectrum, if you will lol. Here's my submission for a Jason Todd that worked for the Soviets first before defecting back to the US and working against them. Let me know if there are any problems, thanks.

Jason Todd

J A S O N T O D D

27 (b. 1941)
_{US Government Agent based in Gotham City, New Jersey
Active since approximately Fall, 1967}

Let me begin by saying this; I hate Batman. It's not because he's a bad character necessarily, but it's because I have multiple problems with who Batman is as a character and how writers choose to portray him in his many storylines. This is probably the main reason why I tend to gravitate towards his supporting cast and sidekicks - the villains are probably some of the best ever, as well. With that in mind, Jason Todd is another favorite comic character of mine. Of all the Robins that have existed, I always find myself most enthralled with the Jason Todd character and his tragic story. He was a Robin for the shortest amount of time before being brutally murdered by the Joker, only to be brought back to life and seemingly dicked over by Batman. Now, I know he went crazy upon his resurrection so Batman did what had to be done, but still. I sympathize with Jason Todd and he is probably the epitome of an anti-hero to me. He's a guy who was trained to be a hero, but once the cruel world got a hold of him, he realized that you can't always be the most morally correct even when you're trying to do the right thing. Putting him the era of the 60s provides a few opportunities.

My intention is to show a Jason Todd who, while still broken at his core, has a change of heart after working as Red Hood for the Soviets and decides to defect and take up a position with the US government in order to covertly battle with the Soviet Union. His previous history would remain intact; he was still trained by Batman and served as Robin for a short while until his death came at the hands of the Joker. He was then resurrected later and attempted to take some form of twisted vengeance against Batman under the mantle of Red Hood, but was ultimately defeated. The difference here is that he took up the mantle of Red Hood and decided to work directly for the Soviets in a bid to somehow satisfy his need for payback against those he felt wronged him. After a certain operation however, he has a change of heart and decides to defect to the US government where he eventually is given a position as a covert agent to work against the Soviets and right the wrongs he committed while under Russian employ.

To that end, his first arc would be tracking down and teaming up with both Midnighter and Apollo since they were part of the American Soldier program and are both tasked with the same objective as Jason Todd. I'd want Jason to team up with and interact with any characters who are part of the Cold War on both sides. Now, the reason I didn't actually label this concept as "Red Hood" is because my take on Jason would be one who does not desire to hide behind a persona or a secret identity anymore. Also, this is the 60s and being called red anything would surely raise a few eyebrows considering he works for the American government and his history working for the Russians and trying to advance their ideals.

As far as his abilities are concerned, Jason Todd would bring all the skills and equipment he learned and acquired from his tenure as Robin and he would remain as lethal as he ever was in the comics, meaning he is still not adverse to killing his enemies. I feel like that's an important difference between him and the rest of the Batman sidekicks and Jason Todd without dual handguns is just... Wrong, in my opinion. His character development should take him from amoral agent of the US government to a man who understands why Batman operates as he does and that the whole world is not something you have to distance yourself from in order to live a somewhat comfortable life.

@icmasticc

This is going to be my first rejection outright—Jason Todd is a legacy character and given Batman’s current state of vigilantism, I don’t think it would be right to have Jason not only be older than the first Robin but also still have his origins intact. Batman started his career when your iteration was nineteen years old. If this was a Batman who has been active since the 1950s I would consider it, but this is most certainly not the case.

there could be two Green Arrows depending.

I would imagine probably not, lol.

Or, you know, you could make Kara 11/12 and we could do our own version of Superman/Batman in which Robin heroically puts gum in her hair. For great justice.

@Bounce

Except my Supergirl stories require her being a freshman in high school, lol.

I'd like to see Moon Knight, but the RP has enough edge at the moment I think. I'm part of the problem. *lowers head*

Green Arrow would be my choice, but only if he's got that charisma. Basically, not the one from arrow. D : >

@BrokenPromise

My iteration is a mix of Arrow, my own ideas, and his comic book counterpart. Has plenty of grit, but overuses puns and punchlines. I have been meaning to come back to him.

I’m also going to put Kara aside, since I don’t feel comfortable with her being older than Dick frickin’ Grayson, so I might opt for a New York-area hero or perhaps dust off someone from Greece or California. Basically this is code for y’all to give thoughts of preferences on the select interested characters I have including:

• Black Cat
• Blade
• Green Arrow
• Invisible Woman
• Moon Knight
• The X-Men
• White Tiger

@Sodomite + @icmasticc

Alright, so the idea here is that I like both concepts—both of which that aren’t what I typically expected. As a Spider-Man fan I think the best way to decide on who writes Spider-Man is on content. I can tell there is passion on both ends, so what I’m going to ask to make a final decision is direction and voice. So, write up your first post and a loose description of the plot arc you want to start with; once that’s done I’d like it to be PM’d to my inbox and after reading both I’ll decide the outcome.

@Solo + @FantasyChic

Black Canary and Daredevil are accepted.

@BingTheWing

In similar games The Watchmen are always a tricky group to incorporate and unfortunately I see myself agreeing with that. The Watchmen sort of existed as a pseudo-JSA and the characters were utilized and branded specifically for the cynical 1980s over the conflicted 1960s. That said, I know you want to utilize Rorschach with this in mind but I’m not sure how the incorporation will mesh well. But, then again, I’ve seen other characters work fundamentally despite having issues or sounding obtuse on paper. I guess what I’m saying is, I’ll look at the application when I get a greater feel for how you envision The Watchman universe singularizing in this setting and perhaps a bit more information on the concept.

Have interest on the investigative side of things (FBI, police, etc), but I'm still thinking and brainstorming.

@The Dow Dragon, @Hellis, @BrokenPromise Accepted. Keep it up.
