Character I've never seen before in one of our comics games ☑
Diving into a mythology I've never considered using for inspiration/reimagination ☑
Writing in a perspective I'm not sure I've ever written in ☑
Yeah, we're moving different in this one lads
I can't be bothered searching for it to repost it.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P TRex doesn't know his history. He woke up in a crater in Mexico after a massive EVO attack. Little did he know that he was that EVO. After being rescued by Agent Six, the pair came under attack, and he shocked the mercenary by curing the Evo. Taking the unstable nanites into himself, the raging monster returned to its form of a harmless pet mouse. Realising what this could mean for the planet's future, Six took Rex back to Providence in secret, not trusting his own partner or the head of research. He was right, not too, but that's a story for another time.
In the years since Rex has grown into a teen, though, the memories of his past are still locked out of reach to him. He feels let down by Providence, though it's all he knows - viewing Rhodey, Six, Holliday and even Bobo like family. He knows he can do the most good at Providence, even if White Knight treats him more like a weapon than a human being. He's only recently made his public debut when fighting a large EVO in detroit, though Providence still won't release an 'official' statement.
James was a USAF pilot, and later attatched Special Weapons liason to STARK industries. Sometimes an antagonist, sometimes an ally he became unlikely friends with the manic megolamaniac, Tony Stark. When Tony was captured by the Ten Rings he built the first 'Iron Man' suit in order to escape. This suit would later become the prototype to the War Machine suit.
Though as Tony constructed, and tested the suit there was only one pilot for the job. His best friend, Rhodey. The military salavated over the technology whenever a report of the suit crossed their desk, and as their hunger and their desire grew. The more the little voice in the back of Tonys head started to protest and push back. He had been a War Monger all his life, and had seen first hand what his weapons did in the hands of killers and terrorists. With Rhodeys support, he pulled the project. Rhodey resigned his comission, and was hired on as Tony Starks personal bodyguard. Defending Tony both physically, and mentally, through the transition to STARK Industries kinder, calmer corporation.
When Tony latched onto the Nanite Project, a project that had the means to end all pain and disease. He became its financial backer, and a lead researcher on the project. Then came the day everything changed. An A.I.M attack at the facility, an explosion that tore through and infected everything around it. Tony Stark took the brunt of the blame, only through returning to military contracts has Obadian Stane managed to keep the company afloat. Despite this Rhodey, with the War Machine armour stayed behind in Abysus. Doing what he could to try and contain the outbreak, when Providence formed he signed himself and the armour up. Much against Stanes better wishes, who throughout the years has been desperate to try and recreate what he sees as the ultimate weapon.
The Nanite event occured 5 years ago in the small European nation of Abysus. A conglomerate of thinkers got together, with Tony Starks funding and backing they managed to move their way forwards. The quinquennial Stark Expo took place in the castle where the lab was set up. A.I.M decided to show up without an invite. They wanted to take the technology for themselves, and the resulting explosion changed the world. Tony Stark and James Rhodes managed to implement a failsafe, that prevented any airborne nanites from becoming active. The only ones that activated were those that infected organic life.
Quarantine failed, between wildlife and people refusing to remain nanites have spread in some form all over the globe. Thankfully they seem unable to self-replicate outside of a living body. Strangely only planet life in Abysus seems to host nanites, they are attempting to spread but Providence has teams around the border of Abysus creating a one hundred metre deadzone.__________________________________________________________________________________P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )I want to tell a story that, as @Roman usually characterises, is Sci-Fi bullshit. I feel like adding the Nanite Event also adds an interesting element for myself, and for everyone in the Roleplay. With the spread of nanites over the world, everyone runs the risk of being infected and from turning into an EVO. I want to explore, as I have touched on previously, Rhodey tyring to run out and do things on his own, with a little bit of the Young Hero stuff I was doing previously with Blue Beetle and Nova.
The inclusion of Nanites to Iron Man (War Machine) and their stories I feel like can make very interesting stories, and with the fact Providence/Rex/Rhodey are a global entity (under ARGUS in this instance) I can collaborate with basically anyone."Boom, you looking for this?"___

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P TAnne was born as a curse. Her mutant powers emerged at the same time she did, leeching the capabilities of her mother, Raven, permanently. Anne was made to live for others before herself, be it doing her mother’s bidding to repay a debt beyond recompense or even the basic act of avoiding touch with others. Her ability to transform could occasionally offer her some respite, but it was a hollow facade, not so different from her occasional work alongside the Brotherhood of Mutants, so dedicated to liberating mutants while she herself was forced into a cage of guilt. But she met a boy who made sparks fly in more ways than one. Remy LeBeau was a blessing, but man that fucking kid was crazy. Crazy enough to make a move on her even knowing the risks. He was bad for her like she was bad for him. They were crazy but so was the whole fucked up world. Stealing a car, the two would find their own corner to make their own, come hell or high water.__________________________________________________________________________________P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )Hillan wanted to do a duo concept so here we are. It came about by accident, with Hillan mentioning wanting to play Gambit + Rogue alongside something else I did, but I ended up worming my way into his idea. As a sort of mutant Bonnie and Clyde, we plan to have the pair fucking around and maybe finding out, as they’re split between acting for their own personal gain with their newfound freedom, and those burgeoning desires to do good with the exceptional mutant abilities they’ve been granted. We’ve already hashed out a base dynamic and some surrounding casts, but past that we’re riding with the wind baby.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P TThe prince of thieves, the crazy cajun. The sluttiest X-man. What isn't there to love? He's de-aged, he's in a dangerously codependent relationship with the potentially most volatile woman on earth. On the run from responsibility and the past, running towards an unsure future. Remy himself is quite unsure of what, or who he wishes to be - or become. Part if him is yearning to re-discover what all of the haunted memories he's tried so hard to suppress leads. Another part pulls him into self-perseverance, that all that matters is protecting him and Rogue, yet another is pulling on him to do good in the world, after a lifetime of being taught to only do bad.__________________________________________________________________________________P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )Me and Pacifista decided that playing mutant Bonnie and Clyde wasn't dysfunctional enough, so we also made our writing codependent for this game. Except some truly out-of-pocket romance, new levels of meta-bromance and perhaps some of the dumbest scenes ever put to paper. Remember, you can't spell subtext without S-E-X. Short, punchy stories and a duo ripe for collaboration.""Mon ami, you watch my glowing cards, y' never see Gambit steal y' watch, adieu""___

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P TBen Tennyson was just an ordinary kid, about to embark on a summer road trip with his Grandpa Max and his cousin Gwen, when his life changed forever. A blazing meteorite tore across the sky and crashed into the woods. When Ben explored the impact site, an alien device clamped onto his wrist: the Omnitrix.
With the ability to transform into a range of alien heroes, Ben spent the summer travelling the country and fighting threats of every kind. He faced Dr. Animo’s mutant creations, an unstable power-stealing mutant named Kevin, and the Forever Knights, a secretive order of alien-hating zealots who hoarded extraterrestrial weaponry and hunted anything not born on Earth.
What Ben did not know was that the crash that started it all was no accident. Vilgax, a galactic warlord obsessed with conquering the universe, had attacked the transport ship carrying the Omnitrix and tracked it to Earth. When he finally struck, Ben barely survived the encounter. The battle triggered a catastrophic overload within the watch, and to stop it from detonating and destroying half the universe, Ben launched himself into space to find a way to shut it down.
That was five years ago.
One crisis after another left him stranded on the far edges of the galaxy. He grew stronger, fought new enemies, and travelled alongside smugglers, rebels, a trigger-happy raccoon, and a talking tree. It was the adventure of a lifetime, but all he wanted was to go home.
His chance finally came when S.W.O.R.D. detected his drifting ship entering their territory. But returning to Earth is not the relief he hoped for. The world has changed since he left, and new threats and old enemies await him.__________________________________________________________________________________P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )I loved Ben 10 as a kid and enjoyed seeing him grow as I did. As such, I always wanted to have a go at writing him, especially in a singular universe setting like this, as I feel he is perfect for collaboration with other heroes, both cosmic and earthbound. It also gives me a great opportunity to make use of some new alien forms based on this universe.
Ben is definitely a character who does well in a grittier setting, as shown throughout the sequel series, so that's definitely something I intend to touch on here. Organisations like S.W.O.R.D. make such a good foil for idealistic heroes like Ben, who aren't fans of being managed. Especially by morally ambiguous characters like Abigail Brand.
On top of all of this, Ben is a very easy character to do some good classic "monster of the week" adventures, with his large roster of heroes being a great way to mix up the action. My stories will definitely be earth-bound for the most part, although I do have more cosmic-scale plans for Vilgax, which I intend to build up in the background.

Now how do I get about introducing Luke Skywalker....
