Wow! Needless to say, my nostalgia engine is in overdrive. Kirk has done an amazing job on recapping most of the plot ideas we've had. Kudos to him.
Side note: Don't know if I've really properly expressed my appreciation to Kirk for everything that he's done, meant or acted for/to/as/on XET. Thanks my friend. Even though you "inherited" XET, you were the life of the place. Job more than well done.
Here are a few of my own character ideas (did I actually have any characters?) and related plot foo:
Ms Marvel Long story short, Ms Marvel was a Mi-Go experiment gone wrong. Mi-Go have a hive mind (Borg from STNG) yet cannot duplicate certain human psyche traits. Having a human as part of their "collective" would have allowed them to. That was the plan for Carol. Instead the accident triggers her latent mutancy. The Mi-Go leave Carol in the care of MJ-12 for study.
Jett This character concept actually came about from some OOC chat. I remember Kirk, I and a few others were discussing character ideas. As usually I couldn't settle on a character concept. A few ideas bouncing around like a Pokemon type character who could summon mythos creatures. That's when the idea of transmogrification came to me: shapechanging into monstrous forms. Originally to be a Morlock, RP was moving him into the Brotherhood under Khai. In the end, his mutation was going to turn him into a Mythos creature permanently.
Moira In the early days, I NPC'd Moira for a few scenes. Part of her back-story was that Mo wasn't as saintly as she wanted to appear. She imprisoned her son Kevin as a way to contain his dangerous mutation, but there were questions whether or not he was as dangerous as he appeared. As well, my research into clan Kinross and the McTaggert family uncovered some ties to witchcraft and a whole other bunch of stuff. So there was going to be major Mythos mess in ye olde family tree. Plus there's the whole government tie-in with Daddy Kinross and how/why the center got built in the 1st place.
Selene Originally a player was supposed to app her in conjunction with Catseye but that never did materialize. I began writing my own back story on her based loosely on ideas from Selene@Xtulu. She was the daughter of the Priest in the Yellow Mask. Her ultimate goal was to extend her power base in the Waking world, thus increasing her power in the Dreamlands.
Apocalypse Never a real character, but one I temped for a What-If scene. Toyed with apping him. In the back story, En Sabah Nur was part the modern Cult of the Black Pharaoh and a descendant of Queen Nitocris. My plot idea involved him and his cult stealing Egyptian artefacts to complete a ritual of transference where the spirit of the fist Nephren-Ka would rise up and inhabit his body. He also had his own version of "horsemen" who were his protectors and entourage. A very neat villain idea that never came to light.
Cable Not the uber-psi but more the super soldier/man of mystery he originally appeared as. Nathan Cable got snatched as part of the Daoloth plot. He was a child (6-8) with variant teke ability. He gets saved by the Xers, but the weird Daoloth effect shunts him into the future (like Khai got thrown into the past). Grows up with Xers, joins them on final assault on R'yleh, and gets shot down. Dying, but not dead, he sees the final fate of Rachel/Phoenix. Queue the Dao effect and he is shunting back to his own time, however as an adult. Conflicting realities and messed up memories leave him a man out of time and thus he doesn't know if he should fight to preserve the future that he knows (?) or to destroy it.
