^{“...The Hood sacrificed everything to stop an evil Sorcerer Supreme?}

Doctor Steven Strange was never humbled out of his egoistical edge even after he broke his fingers in that car accident that ruined his career as a surgeon. In his quest to find a cure, he finds the Ancient One who refuses to cure his hands. Bitter, Strange then encounters Mordo and pledges to assist in killing the Ancient One in exchange for a cure. The tutelage of Mordo in the magical arts leads to Strange excelling leading to the pair killing the Ancient One.

With their common enemy out of the way, Strange, in a move to try and gain more power, betrays Mordo to obtain the Ancient One’s power in order to become the Sorcerer Supreme. With his power he becomes a tyrant in the mystical arts, finding ways to steal power from other practitioners and coveting every magical artifact. There would be no hope if Strange continued but an unlikely player would give up everything to stop Strange. Enter The Hood.

Up to this point, Parker Robbins has had the same life leading him to become The Hood. His father died, his mother comatose, he reverted to crime to make his wealth and with one of his heists leading him into obtaining his signature occult artifacts. In a bid to stop him, The Hood makes a dark pact with Dormammu to give him the power to defeat Strange at the cost of his soul to become a vessel of Dormammu’s possession. The Hood defeats the Sorcerer Supreme as planned but exploits a clause in his pact to avoid giving his soul to Dormammu: “By next Midnight, you’re soul will be mine.”

In the previous possession of Steven Strange, the Time Stone has become the very artifact that Parker relies on to avoid his possession. Just before the clock strikes midnight, he reverses time on himself to one minute after midnight on the same day. Time goes on around him but he must constantly revert his day back to the beginning, sparing him possession but sacrificing himself all the same with his memory being reverted.

Time has lost all meaning to Parker Robbins and at some point and the days blend together. In one of those days, John Constantine, his best friend and original guide into the occult, must have visited him in Sanctum and their discussion must have been productive because the Midnight Sons was formed. Utilizing the Sanctum, the Midnight Sons operate to help protect the new Sorcerer Supreme and the mystical items kept in the Sanctum Sanctorum.

So I stumbled upon this RP and thought of some twist on a character that I could play. The Hood was originally appealing and specifically to take him from starting as a villain to redeeming himself to become a hero. Since it plays more into the mysticism aspect, I decided that Sorcerer Supreme would be a good angle for him, but then I thought what if it came at a cost?

The cinematic universe presented an idea with the time stone, specifically the idea of being stuck in a time loop. Looping a single day over and over again would be very interesting play, but he’d be limited in engagement since his memory doesn’t carry over. so I thought he’d have a small crew to help him operate. I picked a few good mystical characters from DC and Marvel to form the backbone of the mystical side for this RP.

Steven Strange may be dead in 668, but there is plenty of potential for another Steven coming from somewhere. Any other mystical characters I’d like to get involved with should others propose them. Ultimately, I should be able to jump into plots that others do fairly easily as well.

^{"I can tell you that in the spring of 2020, it was impossible to meet the consumer demand for toilet paper because Lexcorp had been buying it all up to block the Suez Canal in order to drive demand for their own proprietary waterway. What else would you like to know?"}

Charles Victor Zsasz was raised in an orphanage. Through an abundance of notetaking, observation, and sheer immersion learning, he came to know the true tongue of the city around him. Under the name Victor Sage, he ministered for the municipalities, casting judgement upon their Judases, just as Jonah spoke to Ninevah, only on live television for a local news network.

Upon exorcising the city of a maniacal pharmaceutical executive's reign, he was able to rescue Doctor Aristotle Robor, a chemist. In order to protect Vic from future retaliation, Robor has since provided him with a supply of Pseudoderm, a material that looks and feels like flesh but can be seen through when applied over the face. He has since taken to finding many of his answers as The Question.

Lately however, Hub's been different. She hasn't been speaking to him like she used to. In fact, she's been downright hostile with some of the near misses he's had with the law lately. Sure, she's always had a mean side to her but never to him before. Not like this. If he didn't know any better, he might describe the change in behavior as truly alien. Fortunately for Hub, however, Vic is committed to not knowing better.

He's since taken to the road, chasing down leads to find out who's really behind the changes he's been seeing. He just can't bear to stick around while she keeps giving him the cold shoulder. But he'll be back to work things out.

With the Question, I think it'd be delightful to write about him stalking people and uncovering alien conspiracies in cities across the US in order to tie it all back to major Skrull activity in Hub City. I'd actually love to collab with other players this time around.

C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:

My version of the Question is fifty percent Denny O'Neil's gritty investigative reporter and thirty percent Richard Veitch's urban shaman versions of The Question. The remaining twenty percent of inspiration is split between the way that hunters negotiate with devils in Chainsaw Man and the "shivers" perk from Disco Elysium.

That is to say that this version will refrain from taking psychoactive drugs like Veitch's depiction where he had induced breakthroughs using hallucinogens, like he were performing Invisibles style chaos magic. This version of Q makes sacrifices to cities and negotiates with them in order to gain their blessings. Conversing with them by listening to an approving church bell or a critical choir of car horns. He knows that it's all connected.

The relationships that The Question has with different cities are quite different. For example, I have it in my head that New York might actually be a raging bitch towards him where Chicago would be rather friendly, seeing the windy city as something of an old flame for him, much more willing to give up her secrets if he treats her right.

Also, this version of The Question blogs and leaks documents online as The Question, or Q for short. And his investigations are crowdfunded via cryptocurrency by his online supporters.

The answer to the Question is yes, accepted.

For the past five years, Charles Forte has lived a good life. He has a little dog named Chip and a good job at Greene's Groceries. He sees a lot of people everyday, the best of them he hopes. But pretty soon, the worst will rear their ugly heads.

^{"I am Mighty."}

...Thor was banished during World War One?

When a rogue group Jotuns invaded Asgard and the naive young (Not even ten centuries old yet!) Thor enacted his retribution upon them. He inadvertently toppled a balance of power, treaties and alliances that had been long fought for in centuries gone by. Calling his father a fool, and a coward. Odin saw his second-born son as unfit for his position and power, stripping him off his Godhood, his immortality and his power. Awaking as Donald Blake in 1904 Germany. He had memories of a life well lived, of families and loved ones long gone. A small group of friends.

Working in the fields was tiring but rewarding work, though within a decade war erupted in Europe. Donald Blake was called up to the front, where he learned war was hell. Artillery, Machineguns, tanks, aircraft. He was there for the Christmas truce, and subsequently moved from the front like the rest of the troops. He saw the best and worst that humanity had to offer.

When Donald sacrificed himself to save his best friend Falk Hentschel he was gravely wounded, and sent away. Something awoke within him. The war ended. New lines were drawn on the map. Travel was hard going, and dangerous. Money was worthless, people were starving and his wounded leg still plagued him. He could no longer walk without a cane, and had to routinely stop and rest. By the time he reached the cave he was a shell of a man, though the moment his hand touched Mjolnir he was restored and Thor was reborn.

Thor returned to Asgard, welcomed with open arms by his father Odin, his brothers Tyr and Baldur and his best friend and sometimes adversary Loki. Odin saw the change in Thor, and as such awarded him more responsibilities. This drove a wedge between him and Tyr.

As the years went by, Tyr started to disappear more and more. As World War 2 erupted on Earth, Thor suspected his elder brother. The God of War, had a hand to play in it. When Nazi scientists under attack by the JSA accidentally opened a portal resulting in parademons spitting out on Earth, Thor returned to Midgard and helped the JSA fight off the invasion.

Tracking a series of strange occurrences Thor came face to face with his older brother, the two fought, and Tyr was banished from the Realm Eternal by Odin for meddling with the affairs of Mortals. All was well in the nine realms, eventually.

Thor continued to serve the Nine Realms, now as their protector and the Crown Prince of Asgard. He has been to Earth many times in the years since the second world war, though never for a prolonged period. He comes and goes as needed.

I was writing out new and old ideas, building them as needed. Then suddenly I came up with an idea for a main plot. So.

Here I am.

The main plot I am going to do will focus around Thor accepting more responsibility, and the issues with dealing with an invasion spreading across the nine realms. It's Asgard versus Apocalypse.

W H A T I F...? W H A T I F...? ________________________________________________________________________________________ ...Amanda Waller had to get her hands dirty? Cruel. Cunning. Committed. These words are often used to describe the woman who rose from the poverty-stricken projects within Chicago to being one of the most powerful figures in the United States. Whether she's a government agent or director of some secretive organization, Amanda Waller earned that position in a world filled with superheroes and villains. But what if that still wasn't enough, and the odds were stacked against her? In this world, Amanda Waller uncovered files of a long-forgotten agency and asked to revive it under her directive. But instead of approval, an adversary within the government used it as an opportunity to clip her wings via "voluntary" demotion. Her demotion involved transfer over to SHIELD, essentially confined to a desk job til death. But this wasn't going to be a bittersweet ending for her. Not with that determination burning ever so strong. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ With season one being focused on Secret Invasion, it's the perfect time to introduce my interpretation of Amanda Waller. Her story will be a political drama and thriller as she tries to adjust to her new environment. Of course, it means a change of occupation to being a SHIELD agent instead of being a government official. While the main focus would be on the overall plotline, I am more than open to collaborations with others should the opportunity arise. Overall, Amanda Waller is still a force to reckon with, and one shouldn't underestimate her at all.
