[COLOR=darkgray][b]◼ Doctor Strange[/b] - The founder of Strange Academy and the closest thing Zatanna has to a living father figure. He treats Zatanna like a successor but also like a high-yield explosive and increasingly warns against the full use of her power. As the story continues and the darker side of the Academy’s mission is revealed Zatanna will eventually uncover that he is actually Strange Supreme, seeking to harness the magic of this reality to save his own.
[b]◼ Khalid Nassour[/b] - Unlike the mainline version where the Helmet of Fate is a chaotic burden, here the Helmet of Nabu is a Legacy Asset owned by the Academy. Khalid is the star pupil of the theology department, groomed to be the Academy's ultimate arbiter. Khalid is the perfect "Company Man." He believes the Academy’s containment is the only thing preventing a second Dark Age. He is Zatanna’s closest friend, but also the person most likely to catch her in a lie. He doesn't realize that the Helmet is slowly overwriting his personality to suit the Academy's needs.
[b]◼ Magik (Illyana Rasputin)[/b] - A recent addition to the student body despite being of similar age to Zatanna and Khalid, having 'escaped' from the realm of Limbo only to be 'recruited' by the Academy. A ‘bad influence’ on Zatanna that encourages rebellion while also being an increasingly important part of the Academy’s hero response.
[b]◼ The Runaways[/b] - The Academy detects "pockets of anomalous energy" in a low-income urban area. These are children whose powers have manifested naturally outside the Academy’s controlled bloodlines. An early arc rescue target for Zatanna who will become more ongoing younger students for her to help.[/color][/sup][/indent]

[COLOR=darkgray][b]◼ Hellion (Julian Keller)[/b] - Coming from a wealthy family with even greater arcane connections, Julian represents the students who view magic as a birthright of power. He is the leader of a clique that bullies those with "lesser" or "messy" powers. A foil to Zatanna’s similarly privileged background.
[b]◼ Mister Misery[/b] - An entity which serves as the Head of Security, Groundskeeper and ultimate weapon of the Academy. A demntor-esque foe for the more rebellious members of the Academy to deal with. Initially the antagonist of the more lighthearted student drama of the Academy, the full power of the being will eventually be a true threat to Zatanna should she rebel too fiercely.
[b]◼ The Cult of the Empty Hand[/b] - The bad guys of the Academy's mission, servants of the Otherkind. The aim of this dark organisation is to undo any restraints on magical power, certainly at the expense of civilisation.[/color][/sup][/indent]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]Originally I was planning a concept that would adapt Mutants and the Xavier Institute, but I thought an idea that blended aspects of Marvel and DC together would be a more interesting combined reality project. In this, Zatanna Zatara is the star student of Strange Academy, within which she has spent most of her life following the early deaths of her parents. As well as connecting the magical worlds of both Marvel and DC, this in part also amalgamates her mainline and absolute backgrounds. She was still very much a child of privilege and prosperity, but lost her family early and is still hunted by the forces that brought an end to her father. 

At the start of the game Zatanna is in the position of considering what a life separate from the Academy will be for her, even as she has become a mentor and support for more recent additions to the magical society. The Academy, as is typical of such organisations in comics, is a combined educational, containment and preservation organisation. The majority of its inhabitants may be there for their own learning and safety, but some, such as Zatanna, are expecting to act on the world, to put their magical arts to heroic use. Although she may be one of the most prominent members of the Academy student body, she has begun to feel considerable doubts about the organisation and her own role, whether the level of containment and coercion are really just even with the dangers that magic can create. Her curiosity and ambition have often been encouraged within the Academy, but now they are starting to outstrip the boundaries set for her in a way that could lead to greater self discovery, or self destruction.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]With the initial goal of a concept that links Marvel and DCs magical worlds together for the purpose of the RP, the prominent story of Zatanna will combine elements of Dark Academia Slice of Life with Superhero action. As this was adapted from an initial idea I had, this pulls inspiration from the X-men / Xavier in the educational facility for those with gifts they often can’t control, with the added element of finding and preserving magical locations/artifacts on top of just the students themselves. 

Ultimately, Zatanna’s misgivings won’t just be a question of personal growth and ‘what to I do beyond this’ but also a building suspicion that things are not quite right at Strange Academy, that the hoarding of magical learning, power and artifacts is not entirely a positive and whether this is an accidental danger of so conservative an approach or a deliberate nefarious effort.  She will have to question the people who have raised her, deconstructing how much of her world view could be indoctrination and what is good sense, and whether they have been strangling her potential to both do good and find her true self. This is when the concept turns from a somewhat more lighthearted Academia/hero story to one toying with conspiracy and potential dystopia.

I am hoping this will both be an interesting concept to write/read, but also open up a lot of interaction with other characters.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]For a long time I've been pondering how to adapt an Invincible concept to these games while also maintaining the DC/Marvel focus they tend to have. Right now seems like a pretty good time to attempt this balance given the more varied concepts this game as well as the nice gaps people have left with their concepts I can fill in. With many of Kirkman's concepts being 'how he would do x hero team' I felt replacing the Teen Team with the actual Teen Titans (or just Titans in this case) worked well, with a combination of their Invincible comic characters and Titans team members.

Mark Grayson grew up knowing his father was one the most powerful hero on the planet, and for a long time that felt like a gift. Then his own powers emerged and the gift came with weight: expectations, comparisons, and a world already full of legends. He has been Invincible for a few years now — long enough to have earned his name and the attention of the GDA, not long enough to feel certain about any of it.

Mark Grayson is nineteen, about to start college, and increasingly aware that more established heroes, most notably the Titans, seem to have already figured out things he hasn't. He hasn't committed to the them, or indeed any other formal institution; he tells himself it's about freedom, but some of it is about not wanting to be seen as a sidekick to his own era.

His Viltrumite heritage is, to him, simply the reason his dad is strong and he is too. He has no knowledge of the Viltrum Empire, no sense of the ancient divergence from the ancient proto-Kryptonian spacefaring civilisation, and no idea that his father is anything other than the hero he presents as. That unknowing is the quiet fault line running under everything. The story is about what happens when the ground starts to shift.

[sup]__________________________________________________________________________________[/sup]
[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]The immediate arc centres on Mark beginning university while navigating an increasingly complex heroic landscape. The GDA's sponsorship of the Titans puts him in proximity to Cecil Stedman — a man whose methods he already finds uncomfortable. The Titans themselves represent a kind of peer pressure: join, contribute, commit. Mark wants to do things his way, which is half principle and half the fact that he genuinely doesn't know what his way is yet.

As Kryptonians exist in this setting I think the best way to merge the existence of Kypton and Viltrum to an extent. Viltrum was an off shoot of the ancient Kryptonian spacefaring society (in the vein  of Last Days of Krypton) before they self-isolated themselves, and have developed significantly differently in the time apart. They would not have been aware of each other due to the vast span of time involved and efforts by both to eradicate complicated history. I am more than happy to change this based on feedback from relevant parties but it seemed a reasonable mystery I could eventually explore.

The shadow of Omni-Man underlies everything. Nolan is managing his own crisis of faith alongside a calculated patience, and Mark is the unwitting variable in both. The goal is not to rush that revelation but to seed it — through Mark's growing discomfort with his father's certainty, through encounters that Nolan handles in ways that don't quite add up. This is notably later than this occurs in the show or comics, as I would like to tell that story without making it an established part of the game's lore, as well as the presence of something of the big hitters of DC and Marvel provide a fairly compelling reason for Nolan to delay any attempts he has to co-opt his son into his grand schemes[/INDENT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkgray][indent]Nadia Khalil is tall and striking, with warm olive skin, dark teal eyes and an aquiline bone structure that is only partly blunted by the roundness of her full cheeks and lips. Her hair is naturally a warm brown, although she often dyes it a variety of colours. Mostly recently she has kept it black. She keeps her hair long, usually worn loose or in elaborate styles that do little to obscure its length. She has an curvaceous hourglass figure, the softer kind born of good living and kind genetics as opposed to any great degree of training or discipline. She dresses well, as would be expected for someone who loves the limelight.

Most stringly of all, of course, are her wings. Two large feathered wings flair out from her lower back. While she can fold them quite efficiently, at full extent she has a wingspan a little over twice her height. These wings, seemingly in build akin to that of a Falcon, are made of white feathers with golden accents. It is not usually possible for her to hide or dismiss her wings in anyway.[/indent][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkgray][indent]Nadia was born in Chicago to second-generation Egyptian-American parents, neither of whom had any particular interest in mythology or ancient history beyond the occasional family holiday to visit relatives. She grew up entirely ordinarily until she was sixteen, at which point she woke up one morning with a pair of enormous falcon wings folded against her back, a strength that bent the frame of her bedroom door, and the first of what would become an increasingly detailed series of memories that were not her own. The transition from normal teenager to divine reincarnation was, by her own account, less traumatic than you might expect. Nadia has always been good at adapting to situations that benefit her.

The memories came slowly over the following months, fragments at first, then longer sequences, then whole lifetimes. Battlefields. Temples. Other bodies, other faces, all of them hers. She is the latest in an unbroken cycle of reincarnations tied to Horus, the sky god, each life beginning without knowledge of the last until the powers awaken and the past returns. She is not entirely sure what the cycle is for or what it is building toward. She has not, if she is honest, spent a great deal of time worrying about it. The memories are useful context. The powers are more immediately interesting. If the distant dreams of a God's favoured priestess being granted divine power and endless life as a means to escape her untimely end are even true, they matter little to her in there here and now.

What she did with those powers in the years between sixteen and twenty-two is where the story gets complicated. She launched a social media presence almost immediately, initially as a hero , genuinely stopping crimes, genuinely helping people, but always with a camera angle in mind. The content performed extraordinarily well. Brand deals followed. Merchandise. Paid appearances. Then, gradually, something shifted. The heroics became content, and the content became a business, and the business had operating costs that a legitimate SDN-registered hero's stipend did not cover. She began taking private contracts;  corporate security, personal protection for clients who wanted the novelty of a genuine superhero on retainer. She treated fans as little better than servants. Eventually this caught up with her in an armed confrontation that resulted in a deal. The choice of joining the Phoenix Program or ending up in a whole different level of trouble.

She arrived at the Phoenix Program with the energy of someone attending a moderately inconvenient appointment. She is cooperative, technically compliant, and has absolutely no intention of letting this experience change her in any meaningful way. She is also, underneath the performance of mild contrition, considerably more complicated than she presents, three thousand years of accumulated lives have a way of leaving marks, even on someone doing their best not to examine them too closely.[/indent][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkgray][indent]Nadia's wings grant her powerful sustained flight at considerable speed, with the aerial instincts of someone who has spent multiple lifetimes in the sky. Her divine blessing grants her enhanced strength and durability well beyond the human baseline — she hits hard, takes hits well, and heals faster than she should. These physical gifts are tied directly to her connection to her past lives and whatever is the true source of her power,  and have grown stronger as her memories of past lives have returned, suggesting the cycle is cumulative in some way she has not fully mapped yet.[/indent][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkgray][color=#C0392B][b]◼ OPTIC BLASTS[/b][/color]
Scott's eyes emit powerful concussive beams of ruby-coloured force. This is an involuntary ability, his eyes produce the beams constantly and cannot be switched off through conscious effort, a consequence of neurological damage that prevents his brain from naturally processing and absorbing the energy. The beams are not heat-based but purely concussive, and Scott has developed precise control over their width, intensity and focus despite their involuntary nature.[/color][/sup]

Jean possesses the ability to read, project into, and influence the minds of others. This power was suppressed by Professor Xavier during her early development and has only recently become active, meaning she is still learning to filter and direct it. At present she experiences the thoughts of those around her as an overwhelming and near-constant noise, though her raw potential in this area is considered extraordinary even among other telepaths.[/color][/sup]

Jean can move and manipulate objects and people with the force of her mind. This ability is combat-ready and precise at smaller scales, though at its upper limits it becomes harder to contain and direct. At the peak of her demonstrated ability she has produced a fusion of her telepathy and telekinesis simultaneously, projecting psychic force in ways that go beyond either discipline in isolation.[/color][/sup]

Warren's mutation produced a large pair of feathered wings capable of sustaining flight at significant speed and altitude. His physiology is adapted to support this, with a lightweight but durable bone structure and enhanced eyesight suited to aerial navigation. The wings are strong enough to be used offensively in close combat as well as for travel, and Warren has developed considerable skill in using them tactically in both capacities.[/color][/sup]

Bobby has comprehensive control over ice and temperature, capable of generating and shaping ice in virtually any form he can conceive of. He can lower the ambient temperature of his immediate environment, encase objects or opponents in ice, and construct structures of considerable size and complexity. The theoretical ceiling of this ability places him in a rare category of mutant whose power at its maximum is genuinely difficult to quantify or contain.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]The original five X-Men, [color=#C0392B]Scott Summers[/color], [color=#27AE60]Jean Grey[/color], [color=#2980B9]Hank McCoy[/color], [color=#F39C12]Warren Worthington[/color] and [color=#AED6F1]Bobby Drake[/color], from the earliest days of the Xavier Institute have found themselves in a time not their own. The five oldest students of the Xavier Institute were not brought forward in time. They were taken.

The signal that tore them from their own era bore no resemblance to anything in Charles Xavier's laboratory. It came without warning, without consent, and without the careful theoretical scaffolding that underpins sanctioned time displacement. One moment they were where they belonged. The next they were not, arriving in a present that greeted them not with confusion or cautious welcome but with immediate and overwhelming violence.

Their captor was a machine that called itself Nimrod, a sentinel intelligence originating from a dimension in which the merger of human consciousness and artificial dominion was on the verge of completion, prevented only by the continued efforts of the few lingering mutants and their ability to wield the Phoenix Force and reform time itself with the many deaths of Moira. Nimrod had studied the timelines with the patience of something that did not experience time the way its targets did, and it had reached a precise and clinical conclusion: that the five were more dangerous in potential than most were in fact. That the most efficient solution was to remove them before that potential could be realised. Thus, the X-Men of days past have been pulled forwards into this, largely irrelevant (by Nimrod's opinion) time and dimension to be dealt with swiftly.[/indent][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]Quite simply I have wanted to write the Timelost X-Men for some time and the opportunity has never really arisen. With current players being up for it I'd like to dive into a rewrite of their origin. This focuses on my favourite aspects of the Orchis plotline, that of the eventual conversion of humanity by the sentinels themselves into Posthumans, with the end goal of joining with the Dominion. As with many things, by seeking to use time to prevent one of the final roadblocks, Nimrod will create the means of their own defeat as is often the case with comic time travel stories.[/INDENT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkgray][color=#f07244][b]◼ Enhanced Physiology[/b][/color]
Carol Danvers' body was genetically reconstructed by Mar'vell to become an ideal blend of Kree and human DNA. Even when her extraordinary powers are inaccessible, her physical condition and abilities far surpass those of a typical human. She demonstrates remarkable strength and endurance, which can be enhanced further by absorbing external energy.[/color]

[COLOR=darkgray][color=#f07244][b]◼ Energy Absorption and Manipulation[/b][/color]
After undergoing experiments by Mar'vell, Carol Danvers developed the ability to absorb and manipulate different forms of energy, including light, heat, radiation, and gravity. She has the capacity to control, absorb, and discharge external energies at will. Her body can harness these energies to temporarily boost her physical capabilities—for example, amplifying her strength and energy blasts to the magnitude of a nuclear explosion. This aspect of her power is the source of her most iconic abilities, such as her photon blasts and flight. Given enough power she can eventually form an almost infinite energy loop in Binary form, however this has yet to occur.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]The life of Carol Danvers has not been easy. Early in her life she and her two older brothers would consistently move around following the military career of her father, Joe Danvers, any stresses of such lost on Carol at such a young age. However, her father was honourably discharged following an injury that largely cost him the use of his right leg. Joe had never been a particularly warm or attentive father, but he further adapted to civilian life poorly, even if the worst of his harsh expectations fell upon his two older, and male, children. While her older brothers had known their mother, Carol never did, having gone missing shortly after Carol’s birth, a relationship she certainly felt the absence of keenly.

Early in her time in education, now settled in Boston, Carol became something of an outcast, teased for her devastating home situation, She made few friends, which, combined with the lack of affection, or even basic recognition, from her father, only further compounded her isolation. While she had a single good friend, her main solace was her brothers, who, being substantially older than Carol, would soon be out of the day-to-day picture. This would prove to be even more total than expected, for pushed by their father’s demanding standards and his own expectations, both joined the US Army, careers that were well regarded if tragically short-lived, as both would perish in separate, but simultaneous, Middle Eastern conflicts. Any grasp Joe Danvers had on a sense of family died along with them.

With no sense of family at home, Carol took it upon herself to never be the butt of jokes again among her peers. She shed the small number of true, but equally outcast, friends and instead dominated her social circles. If she couldn’t hold people’s affection, she could hold their respect. Athletic abilities she had honed in sports she had enjoyed were turned on climbing the 'ranks' of highschool cheerleading, and a burgeoning charisma went from brief forays in stage and drama work to holding the attention of her peers. 

As she neared the end of her High School education, after several years of the 'new and improved' Carol Danvers, her abilities began to manifest. Relatively minor changes to her strength, speed and durability soon became increasingly extreme. Her own experimentation with such no doubt revealed her changing nature to an observant watcher. She was approached by Dr Walter Lawson, a research specialist for the US Air Force, at first under the guise of seeking to recruit a promising candidate, and then more truthfully, as Mar-Vell, exile of the Kree. He revealed to Carol that her mother's true name had been Mari-Ell, a fellow fugitive from the Kree Empire, and assistant to the Doctor in his research on Earth. The pair had initially come to Earth on a mission from the Empire, deliberately seeking to splice human and Kree DNA, before eventually defecting to their new home, trading secrets of interstellar intelligence and technology for the US government in exchange for acceptance. The loss of Mari-Ell, for even the Doctor knew not what had happened to her, had been a great harm to his project, but now with her daughter, he could proceed.

Carol was not particularly inclined to assist for the Doctor's own sake, but instead out of a desire for a connection she had lost in any other aspect of life, as well as the suggestion the work could further enhance her abilities. Indeed, the introduction of the ancient Nega-bands to Carol not only destroyed the Kree relic, but supercharged her abilities above and beyond those of even the most powerful of the genetically engineered Kree warriors. As part of Mar-Vell's arrangement with the US government, the success of the project was reported. Carol has taken on the alias of Warbird, and begun to use her powers in the role of a hero, but one that ultimately reports in to the often mysterious leadership of the Pentagon.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]One of the more interesting recent villains that Carol Danvers has faced in the main marvel canon is Star, a woman of similar power level to Carol with an equally (if not more so) troubled background but without the structure of military training to discipline her and instead highly connected to the darker elements of the US military/industrial complex. I thought it would be interesting to take this concept and apply it to Carol herself, with her powers manifesting earlier in her life. Ultimately there is still a good person within Carol who feels a call to use her powers for good, but it is more directly in conflict with her childhood trauma of neglect and loneliness, as well as the trials and tribulations of later high school/early college life.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][hr][/COLOR][/INDENT]
