Same, I'm still struggling with the post I was supposed to get up two days ago.
I know the feeling.
I was reading known events and would it be acceptable to make a character that had been experimented on by the scientist from the Pax Metahumana story? I was thinking she could have gained her powers from that and think of them as some sort of curse kinda thing.
If so if anyone has already established how long he's been planning this and how he experimented and stuff, I would really love to know to see if it would work with my character :)
Well, there are two options here. Your character could have either received her powers from the domes that have appeared as of this current story arc or was directly given to her by Doctor Diplodoc (just like my PC's Raptor and Arachne). For the
first option, the domes have been around for only a couple hours at the shortest and maybe a day at the longest. Furthermore, these domes are isolated to a few major US cities (Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle) , so so your character would have to have been in one of those cities to have been affected by the domes.
For the
second option, there is a larger window for your character to have gained her powers. It is currently late February/early March in the IC. Doctor Diplodoc has had a working serum since August of the previous year (i.e. the same time when Raptor gained his powers). Between then and the current time in the IC, Doctor Diplodoc has been gathering individuals in order to give them powers. Some have remained with him (e.g. those metahumans siding with him in the current story arc), while others have not (e.g. Raptor, Arachne, etc).
A good analogy for Doctor Diplodoc's serum would be either the artificial serum from
Heroes or the
Terrigen from Agents of SHIELD (minus the whole being covered in rocks part). The serum grants superhuman powers to non-metahumans. While the majority of characters affected by this serum have some sort of animal-like characteristic(s), it is not a requirement.
