Character Updates
Iason

Iason is a surprisingly complex character. He's recently become wealthy - by accident. He's got a girlfriend he's very fond of, but like almost everything else, keeps a little distance from, trying to think of the relationship as 'trying monogamy for a while'. Raised around Eternals and cosmic beings, he's very much part of the Eternal mindset, doing things with forever and endless tomorrows in mind. He's also continuing to build onto his hobby collection.

Needs to happen: Nothing, really. He's remarkably consistent, and prefers to keep everything a little distant, trying not to interfere too much without divorcing himself from his team, his girlfriend, or mortal affairs in general. Eventually I'd like him to go into space and deal with that side of himself, since ultimately, he's more of a 'cosmic' character than almost anything we have, but he's a good fit for the Avengers while they need some extra muscle.

Plots: 12-Step Program

Lucas
Lucas is my white knight, the one who is destined to be one of the truly good guys, and I like him there. Its not that he hasn't had drama or angst, or needs more. More a matter of he's got the coping mechanisms and mentality to weather them, find ways to deal, and then reach out his hand to help other people along. He's very much in love with his girlfriend, and generally content with his role as one of the ultimate support people on the X-Men without needing to be a leader or front-liner.

Needs to happen: He and his girlfriend need to have some very serious talks about the future.

Plots: Horsemen of the Apocalypse, then taking it easy for a bit. He'll be along when the X-Men go to the Amazon

Crosshairs
Crosshairs is crack, pure and simple. She can fit in with the MNG society, but she's never going to be a regular growing and developing character. She gets broken out for fun. She's completely off her rocker and generally amoral, but in a fashion similar to, but not identical to her father, Deadpool, when he's written for a support part in team comics, not in his own book. She's totally fixated on 'guns, guns, guns', including referring to Guns & Ammo as porn - yeah, that girl ain't right.

Needs to happen: Some social interaction where her type of broken won't detract from the scene. Also hanging out with her dad some - including putting his severed head in a bowling ball and using it as a throwing weapon to see "if that Mystery Men thing works" (it won't). Her meeting Melanie would also be amusing.

Plots: She might be involved with some of the street stuff.

Solver
Solver is not a character, first and foremost. He's a plot device. He is appearing in this role in the 12-Step program plot. He will never be anything but a baby or a plot device for anything major. In his setting and context, he's rapidly changing the face of the world, mostly for the better, but also causing the Avengers and others problems because its too easy to lean on the tentpole.
In MNG he will be a baby, appearing in about a year. Mega-baby, but still a baby.

Needs to happen: He will be born eventually, to the cutest straight lesbian couple ever.

Plots: NPC in 12-Step Program

Talia
Talia is the Shroud's daughter, and takes after her dad. She's less super hero herself, and more 'mastermind-for-the-good-guys' with her fingers in tons of things. She's more likely to tip off the good guys, make contacts, point people in the right direction, etc. than get heavily involved with anything herself, which is how she prefers it. That might change a little if I really had a lot of drive to make her a main character, but I'm quite comfortable with her in the background as a manipulator. The good guys could use more of them.

Needs to happen: Making more contacts is good. I wouldn't mind having her heavily involved in street level stuff as less hero, and more mastermind, and really show off how well connected and informed she is.

Plots: A couple street-level things

Daniel
Daniel is a 12 year-old who is too cute for his own good and knows it. He loves sports, gambling and being a bad influence on Scotty and Zoey, while not being 'too' bad. He's rough around the edges, kind of like his dad was, but a good guy when it comes down to it. He's also starting to crush a bit on Ellie Rasputin, and not sure how he feels about that.

Needs to happen: More Daniel-Ellie rp. Eventually, hanging with the F4 could be fun, but he's not mature enough to be a full time hero.

Plots: None yet, but trouble with Ellie is being pondered

Sarah

Sarah is my favorite of my characters to play, so Exiles stalling a few times recently made me really happy to get a chance to jump her back into MNG for a bit. I've been playing her for 4 years or so now, so it shouldn't be too much surprise that I get into playing her, particularly as I've been playing her long enough to go from a pretty simple, straightforward char to a much more nuanced one. She's definitely one of the good guys, worthy to wield Mjolnir, and trying very hard to live up to the legacy of her father, Captain America, while bouncing from world to world. She's also about to deal with having, then leaving a girlfriend, all while still coming to terms with being a lesbian - not something she's entirely comfortable with while also trying to be a good All-American girl in her own mind.

Needs to happen: Step more and more into a leadership role within the Exiles. I'd like to find her a long term girlfriend eventually, and find a little more ease with relationships and all in general, but the nature of Exiles makes that very hard to plan.

Plots: Infinity and Beyond

Halbjorn
A deceptively complex character who keeps growing in my head. He's a Norse berserker, gifted and cursed with the Warriors Madness. He's quite comfortable with his role in things, but also ends up keeping most people at arm's length for it. Where most immortals live like they have endless tomorrows, he strives to live every day like there is no tomorrow, because there well may not be.

Needs to happen: Nothing. Halbjorn defies a lot of character growth, and that's fine. He knows he's going to die bloody and insane, and he's ok with that - its to save the world.

Plots: Dormammu, then assessing the state of the Defenders

Jordan
Jordan is the nigh-invulnerable occasional leader of Alpha Flight. He earned the confidence of his teammates and found himself unexpectedly in the lead... and then they were assigned a leader. He's actually ok with the switch and trying to soften the blow on everyone else for now, which is the type of personality that helped get them behind him in the first place. He also has a girlfriend now, and no one is more surprised than Jordan that this monogamy thing is working out ok.

Needs to happen: Jordan, so far, has been Alpha Flight's rock, in more ways than one. He has serious mental issues related to something similar to survivor's syndrome - he went from being a sickly orphan raised in guilt by the Catholic church to being mildly wealthy, owning his own company, great parents, and now he's invulnerable. He doesn't feel like he deserves this kind of good fortune. So far, he's been assuaging the guilt issues by trying to spread the wealth around a little and make his teammates' lives better. Eventually, he's going to lose a teammate, and when he does, he's going to be the one needing help, serious help.

Plots: I believe there's some plans in the works for AF around Omega Flight and the like. He'll be there for that.

Nicholas
The new era Ghost Rider, whose father and mother sold his soul, intending to sacrifice him to Mephisto. Born without a soul, eventually he was given Zarathos, and has been slowly finding what all that entails. He's joined the Champions and found a level of relationship he can handle with Irina (no strings attached sex). Otherwise, he's pretty consistent.

Needs to happen: More of the same, really. Eventually he might explore being part of the Harkness family and learn a little sorcery to go with the powers of the rider, or to help him deal with his personal demon(s). Becoming friends with Alisa LeBeau is also on the table.

Plots: Wherever the Champions go.

Andrew Summers
Grandson of Magneto, and eventual heir to Genosha. He's gone to America as a representative of his home, trying to negotiate some entry for Genosha onto the world stage, trade, immigration, recognition, etc. He's also spending plenty of time trying to walk a careful philosophical line between Xavier's and Magneto's, espousing neither. One of my more thoughtful characters. He recently found out that his girlfriend was a murderer, though of a very, very bad person. He's quickly finding that just as he can accept his grandfather as a 'great man' and leader despite some of the deeds of his past, he can apply similar principles to his relationship with her, though he's still trying to work out the whole forgiveness thing.

Needs to happen: He and Giovanna have a lot of issues to work out. Also needs to meet his cousin Rachel eventually.

Plots: Andrew is not a plot heavy character. Not really part of the 'independents' sphere, since he and Giovanna are neither super heroes nor street types. He'll occasionally pop up in mutant events.

DJ

A thoughtful punk rocker who recently discovered that he could turn into a variety of prehistoric animal forms when he accidentally changed into a velociraptor during a club riot... and became a big hit in the counterculture. His mom also semi-adopted Pauline, another mutant and bandmate. Together, they joined X-Factor, trying to prove to the world that mutants are people too.

Needs to happen: Aside from him figuring out if Pauline is his sister, a good friend, or a potential love interest, he's still the newest on my brain. While mostly a good guy, he has a lot of room to grow.

Plots: Wherever X-Factor goes.
