Alternate Earth Characters #7

Your GM has announced he's going to run an alternate Earth game and he wants you to make a modified version of your character to fit his "Alternate Earth Setting. The GM is being deliberately unclear about whether you'll be playing your alt character or if your regular character will be facing them.

 

So what is different about your character from

Nazi Earth

Germany got the bomb first and conquered the Earth the world is unified under a single white supremacist government with hellish labor camps producing a bounty of prosperity for the chosen few.

[Chuckg]

Starguard -- wouldn't exist. Even Communist World has room for the 'innocent but misguided servant of the State she does not truly know the horror of' concept.

 

Nazi World damn sure doesn't.

 

Edit -- so she died in their dissection labs as soon as she first showed. With her initial naivete, betraying and trapping her was easy, Power Cosmic or no Power Cosmic.

 

Baron von Darien -- see my post on 'Communist World'. (I know, this thread went up first, but I hit that one first.)

 

Short version... imagine the scariest vampire elder you've never wanted to meet, with the willpower of Victor von Doom and the military genius of von Clausewitz, with an utterly fanatic devotion to causing the Nazis as much pain and destruction as he can possibly manage. The most hardened of the SS will soil their pants at the mere mention of his name.

 

 

Dr. Pain -- a champion boxer and low-ranking foot slogger in the Wehrmacht, chosen for experimentation due to his having the proper latent genetic factors. Enjoys his new status and rank as one of the Ubermensch, but deep down inside, he wonders...

[farik]

Kenneth would develop the Husky formula (to make up for his own physical frailty in a world even more focused on a physical ideal than the "real" world) and intially plan on using it to support the regime until he actually made contact with a labor camp at which point he would recoil in horror. After much soul searching Kenneth would again transform into Husky with the intent to liberate the oppressed masses he would use his super science abilities to equip an army of rebels and lead the revolution learning harsh lessons at first but forging a stronger more self confident hero as time went on.

[Blue]

I like to think Anthem is the same in virtue and intent, still an enemy of the Nazis, even though she would not sport an american flag.

 

Since Uncle Slam was raised by a standard American family that instilled their values in him, I suspect the same would be true of Nazi world. He'd have grown up under the system and become a well-regarded leader of a special batallion of SS with superpowers.

 

Audra Blue is South American, and she's had run-ins with Nazis in hiding, which are the source of her cybernetics. I expect her background would be very much the same.

[Mayday]

Mayday's grandparents would have been collaborators in the Zorro style. Assuming they didnt get caught at it she is born in much the same way as now and raised to one day take up the fight herself. She studies engineering and quietly builds a robotic force to assist her until she can locate other freedom fighters.

 

If her grandparents were caught, her father was a baby and put into a state orphanage, then a work camp. Mayday grows up in a camp and is secretly taught by a professor sent here for not following the Party line. When he dies of age, disease, malnutrition or execution, she is motivated to take action and breaks out to begin a one woman crusade.

 

Sabre as a german descended blue eyed blonde genius lives the good life producing tech for the Reich's war machines and has a blond blue eyed husband and children as any good citizen should... She advocates sterilization of impures and lesser races, due to her own genius and upbringing in this nazi culture she cannot see otherwise and never will.

 

Metallion grows up in Austria, a blue eyed blonde and joins the nazi super team where her narcissistic nature prevents her from asking deep questions.

 

Wraithe is american born in the work camps. Her father and brothers lead a resistance cell and it is her sole desire to do the same. When they are betrayed and executed (by her soon to be step-father) she is forced to go Sarah Conner on those responsible.

 

Les Gitane, my family of gypsy mages, hide out from the nazis via concealment and magic alike. They see the nazis collecting magical artifacts and take a 'Death of a Thousand Cuts' approach to the nazi regime by stealing these artifacts, leaving fake boobytrapped objects, assassinating key figures if the time is right, stealing and altering government documents. A death for each Gitane killed and there are alot of dead gypsies in the death camps... They become the go to people for false travel papers and ID cards, weapons... everything you need, if you have the cash or something worth while to barter.

[McCoy]

Iron Will, Snow Leopard, and Dolphin don't exist. (Black, Black, and Gay respectively.)

 

Unfortunately, Cheetah would fit in well in Nazi World.

 

I want to believe that Millennium would be leading a resistance movement, but he could fit in with the Reich as a living embodyment of the ubermensch.

[assault]

Assault would be a leader of a resistence cell.

 

His essay, "Dialectics of Metahumanity", would have been published in serial form in underground theoretical journals under a pseudonym, and would be influential in defining the relationship between the human and metahuman resistence movements.

[Fuzzy Gnome]

Ace never believed in the Nazi government in the first place; he only served them out of loyalty to his country.

He was horrified when he learned of the slave camps, and he asked himself whether he should betray the government, sacrifice his honor, and lose any chance of protecting his estranged family. As the war progressed he decided he had no choice but to try to stop the Nazis from conquering the world, and was killed in a failed military coup long before he would have gained his aquatic powers.

 

Seraph was sent to Earth to help the resistance. With psionics, Presence powers, and brickishness, he can be a front-line fighter, a spy or saboteur, a telepathic courier, or an inspiring flagsuit type as the need demands.

 

After the Japanese conquered China, Lin-Si's grandparents might have been glad to see them betrayed by the Nazis. Unfortunately by the present day, the Nazis rule China with the proverbial iron fist and martial arts societies like the Chinese Amazons are outlawed. Lin-Si is a member of a ragged band of freedom fighters hiding in the mountains near Tibet.

[Trebuchet]

Zl'f would never have existed in Nazi World. Since her father was an armor officer in the Soviet Army during World War Two and did not father Elena until he was 62 in 1982, he would have either died in combat against the Germans or have been executed by the Nazis as a Soviet officer if captured.

[ZootSoot]

Sword Dancer, as the 40th something bearer of the title, inherited her powers from a long line of Korean warriors. Unlikely that she would exist at all.

 

Armando was probably born in a slave labor (if he was born at all) but if he survived (and he is an extraordinary survivor) until he was ten years old he probably escaped and is a leader of the resistance and a fearsome legend for the Nazis.

 

Crimson Tide should be a natural to be part of the elite, except he hates hierarchy and politics. May have joined the resistance simply to eliminate people who have personally earned his enmity; eventually would adopt the ideals of the resistance.

 

Gangway is of pure Polish descent, in our world her paternal grandparents immigrated to America after WWII and had been minor aristocrats. So probably she was never born since her maternal ancestors were already in America.

 

Luna is six and a half feet tall, blue eyed and blonde and was born in Munich in 1980. She would be perfect for the Nazi ideal brick, but probably works as a mole for the resistance because she is a lesbian.

[nexus]

Nexus wouldn't like exist or would have died early in a laboratory (born a black mutant). -If- she somehow survived would be a militant member of the Resistance.

 

Andromeda, an an extra dimensional "Nazi' herself, would be horrified by this "perversion" of her cause and assist the Resistance (long story).

 

Nova:A genetic experiment that likely would have been twisted to the Reich's cause.

 

Knighthawk:Black Japanese, likely wouldn't exist.

 

Predator:likely would have been co opted to serve the Reich at an early age where her feral instincts and animal nature would have been cultivated more than the her humanity so she'd be a savage "Law of the Jungle" type killer. Perhaps the pet of high ranking party member.

 

Tao:Wouldn't exist, the circumstances that created her are unlikely to happen. She might have an analog in a Nazi genetics experiment to create the ultimate super soldier.

 

Velocity:Wouldn't exist or was disssected an early age being a negro mutant

While Nazism officially decried homosexuals and persecuted them, there were a number of high ranking Nazi officials who were homosexuals and were tolerated because of their party rank. (Although, if it became necessary to destroy them homosexuality made an ideal charge since it was a crime under Nazi law.) So in all probability Luna would have been fine as a model Aryan woman/brick as long as she kept her lesbianism relatively quiet and publicly toed the party line. Making her a mole is very plausible, since she would undoubtably know other homosexuals who had been persecuted. (The Nazis were not as harsh towards lesbians, since male chauvinist Hitler didn't like to acknowledge their existence at all. He thought all women should be staying home cooking and bearing new warriors for the Fatherland.)

[FenrisUlf]

My characters?

 

Fenris -- partially descended from a line of Franco-German loup-garou, he'd probably be allied to whatever fascist outfit was running Vichy (hey, the eldest was working for the Nazis during WW2), though I like to think he'd hve some sympathy for the Americans, mongrels as they may be.

 

Saracen (Arab-Persian in a suit of power armor) -- either working with the other 'Aryans' in RKMT Iran, or working in whatever resistance there is among the Arabs.

 

Worldwalker (dimensional manipulating brick; thank you, Kelvarite!) -- Leading the way for the Waffen-SS in their attacks on all those other dimensions.

[Argus]

Been There

 

Done That.

 

I’ve played Argus in a Nazi World.

 

He was one Bad Mother.

 

With his ability to Hunt Down META Humans, and his belief that META Humans are Superior then Non-META Humans, and with out the passion for protecting the Innocents.

 

He was a Super Nazi META Hunter who would cut down a crowd of Humans to bring one of the Chosen ones into the Fold.

I could see Sabre falling into this belief as well although she is not a MetaHuman it is logical. So long as the Meta is Pure...

[Farkling]

FlameJet:: Though Jet is a blond haired blue eyed Aryan hero, his family roots and his ancestral fortune are Jewish in nature. He is also under 30. So I see three options:)

. A) FlameJet is a biogenetically engineered superweapon working for the Nazi regime. Not much of a personality will exist, as he is a product of Nazi breeding experiments, and merely lives to destroy Nazi targets and enemies.

. FlameJet never existed.

. C) If his ancestors did escape to America, and the subjugation of America has been a realatively recent occurence, then Jet may indeed exist, provided the underground kept his temper and impulsiveness under control when his powers surfaced.

 

Lightning:: The malevolent accident that created Lightning's powers and abilities could quite easily have occured as part of a Nazi Super Soldier experiment (instead of the mad scientist variant he endured). With his speed and relative immunity to electricity, he undoubtedly became part of the Nazi program, and is quite likely in charge of the particle beam or broadcast power research projects. He has faked a disability in combat oriented situations to ensure this posting. Undoubtedly he maintains ties to the underground, as he has never forgiven the experimenters for the death of his wife, or his childhood friend.

[Glen Sprigg]

Hmmm...Nasty Nazis. Let's see...

 

Snowbird probably wouldn't exist; the Nazis would have killed his grandfather and most likely his whole family, ergo no Snowbird. On the other hand, the Nazis would probably have liked to have gotten their hands on a mystic amulet with the power of Ymir...

 

Comet would be a freedom fighter, and his Captain Marvel-like physical change would make it harder for them to find him.

 

Shadowhawk would probably have been a freedom fighter, but surviving without powers in a Nazi world that hunts and hates you wouldn't give anyone a long life expectancy. He would have put up a long struggle, but he's probably dead.

 

Now, as for Archangel...immortal supernatural being who is tough enough to stand at Ground Zero, can't be lied to, and carries a holy sword that slices and dices pure evil like a Ginsu knife, who is also living proof that yes, there IS a God...without the Pope or much of an organized church to defend, he'd be more inclined to just start avenging the entire world. He might not be able to take out the entire Nazi regime, but he's going to make their lives miserable.

 

Glen

[Badger]

My namesake would never have existed being half-alien. His father(the alien side) would have been killed as a threat most likely when he came to Earth. If his father would not have been captured at the very least circumstances would have prevented his parents from meeting. Though his father may have used his powers to help the freedom fighters.

[Guest WhammeWhamme]

Flippant... of generic Eastern European ancestry. Things not so good for his chances of existence.

 

However, assuming he lived: Opressed, he never felt he fit in. His Dimensional powers showed him how WRONG this world was, and he relight the flame of liberty...

 

Probably not a super gymnast, but his innate ability would make him a NASTY hand to fighter anyway.

Nazi Wraith:

Probably quite a strong supporter. However, his powers would kick in at a concentration camp... hrm. I don't think Nazi World would like the consequences of every victim eventually being given Gozer level power...
