Alright, let's get started, because I've had way too many ideas for these guys.

1: A Jaeger, from Girl Genius, in a non-action department. Because I thought it would be funny to have a tall, angry, green German constantly complaining about wanting to get into fights.

2: One of the plethora of OCs for Sugar Rush that were made after Wreck-It Ralph came out. The sheer volume of characters that were cut from this cloth indicate that at least one of them would end up at the PPC. If possible, I would want to pair him/her up with an Agent from a different videogame, because the Sugar Rush Racers all know beforehand that they're just characters, which I thought could set up an interesting dynamic with a partner who didn't already know that.

3: Generic goblin/henchman/low level baddie, from practically any game ever. There are just so many ways someone could take this, it would be fascinating. Does he stay as some chaotic evil, dumb enough to charge adventurers screwball? Does he end up terrified of anything even remotely resembling a hero? Does he still think attacking things much more powerful than himself is a good idea?

4: A Draken scientist, from Wildstar, preferably in DMSE&R. Yeah, I know I had the Jaeger up at the beginning of this post, but Wildstar lets you make a big, scary, vicious monster that actually wants to analyze and experiment. Plus, with all the lunacy and tech lying around in that canon, there are far more entertaining ways to get to the PPC than by falling through a convenient plothole.

5: A Department of Intelligence Agent. We seem to have very few of them, and I thought it would be entertaining to try writing an Agent that has to put up with all the same idiocy of badfics without being able to kill the 'Sues at the end.

Specifically, a new agent team that I've been planning to do for a while (I know I've got three teams already, but I plan to rotate between them periodically so they don't get too dry. Kinda like crop rotation or something.)

1.) My mom owned a copy of Wii Fit once, but we lost it when we cleaned up the house a few years ago. So what would happen if the female Wii Fit Trainer from that game ended up in the PPC? She'd be a mild-mannered, nurturing figure who looks out for the health and safety of her partner and basically everyone else she cares about. She could've worked for the Nursery, caring for the children there, but she was recruited at the worst possible time, when Mary Sues began overcrowding the multiverse, so she had to go into Sue-slaying to help the PPC keep up. I can see her working in the DMS: Video Games division along with her partner, which leads me to the next concept.

2.) This one was inspired by this. A walking crossover of Xenoblade Chronicles and Pokemon, this guy was once a character replacement of Shulk with characteristics of the Honedge family. He's the eager one of the pair, and to reiterate an over-used joke, he's really feeling the plot continuum, all day, every day. Like Florestan, he'd go off on angry rants about anything and everything wrong with a continuity error stated or caused by a badfic, and if his favorite characters are made OOC, he gets even angrier. He's highly intelligent as far as canon knowledge is concerned, and picks up on new continua surprisingly quickly for a humanized living sword. He also inherits Shulk's mechanical expertise, and he could've gone into the DoSAT if it weren't for the fact that the PPC needed more assassins to keep up with the recent Sue influx.

And just for fun, how 'bout two nonhuman agents?

3.) A Chinese Dragon. Yeah, I know, there are dragon agents, but most if not all of them are of the Western variety. Naturally, he'd have powerful magic abilities, so he'd end up being in the DIA. He could even be Rashida's former partner. In contrast to her, he's really collected and cultured, and he speaks using long words and is almost always mild-mannered. He's also reluctant to use his abilities unless he has to neutralize an attacking Sue, and pursues mundane interests like painting, tea, and stargazing.

4.) A T. rex. Yeah, you heard me right. A Mother. Flocking. T. rex. Specifically, one from one of my favorite anime films, You Are Umasou. This one would be a female, and she'd be a fiercely protective sort, but like Heart (the protagonist of that movie), she's also got a sensitive side. The biggest problem I see with her is that she'd be a bit too big for the halls of HQ, but then again, we have a Triceratops agent and she can use disguises to avoid bonking her head on the ceiling, so maybe the same could go for the 'rex. Her power and bite force would lend really well to the DIA, because Sues relying on beam fights are annoying and I'd rather have someone take them out physically, like how Indiana Jones just shot that swordsman.

It's . . . probably going to sound dumb, but I've gotten a strong enough impression of her that I'm positive she's at the PPC. I just haven't seen where she appears yet.

Anyway, Agent Ost is an A/V geek in DoSAT. She's a very heavyset woman who is constantly and inexplicably surrounded by a full set of turn tables and speakers. Ost is responsible for providing background music on missions.

What's that? Missions don't have background music? Well, in my mind, they do. I mean, Skarmory's certainly do, and I've been wanting to do something similar with mine for a long time. Maybe Ost operates under orders from Legal, so most agents don't notice it? Maybe she just provides the soundtrack for adaptations of missions on Nutmeg TV? Anyway, if anyone feels like making a joke about her, feel free.

P.S. I also retroactively decided she's the one responsible for this monstrosity.

A lot of these are not fully fleshed out enough to really count as a full agent concept; they're just some ideas that I think would make for cool characters.

1 - A Haunted Oracle from Pathfinder. Oracles are divine spellcaster who have had power "thrust upon them," so to speak, and have to deal with a curse of some kind as a side effect. Haunted Oracles, in particular, are followed around by spirits of some kind that allow them to access specific spells, but have a tendency to mess with their stuff; it takes longer to retrieve an object from your bag, and if you drop something, it flies ten feet away from you. It'd be cool to see an Oracle actually interact with the haunting and could lead to some good jokes.

2 - Kind of similarly, a Summoner/Eidolon team, also from Pathfinder. It'd give the team a very different vibe from the usual one we see, but it could still play off some of the same tropes, especially if they're new to each other. Moreover, I think it would be really interesting to explore the psychology of an eidolon. Most of the time, they're either comic relief figures or walking class features, so it'd be neat to see one get equal development.

3 - And continuing my theme of "TRPG character linked to supernatural being(s)," a Sin-Eater from Geist: the Sin-Eater, one of the nWoD games. More specifically, a non-WoD agent who was fatally wounded in that continuum. As they were dying, a Geist offered to join with them. Now the agent has to deal with sharing their head with a strange, ghostly being, as well as all the other Sin-Eater baggage. A similar option would be a dying agent that Awakens as a Moros, though I don't think becoming a Mage would be quite as much of a paradigm shift for an agent.

The last one is an idea I've been considering using myself, actually. The first two are absolutely free-to-use, but I'd like someone who's thinking of using the third one to ask first.

1/ The mild-mannered azhdarchid from #42 in 'Getting Some Exorcise'. Sandra and Freckles think he might not have been a canon character, and given that there are exactly two talking azhdarchids in fiction that I can see (a Quetzalcoatlus in one of the 'Land Before Time' movies, and a Skybax in one of the 'Dinotopia' books), they're probably right.

I see this character as a sort of reverse Indiana Jones. Where Indy was a professor who'd rather be out adventuring, this azhdarchid is a field agent who'd much rather be researching. He's good at his job, and does it without complaining - but his heart is elsewhere.

2/ An ordinary human being from World One is somehow required to take a job at the PPC. This is a character with a very clear story arc - over the course of, say, six missions, she learns to cope with the frankly bizarre world she's ended up in. She's a realistic viewpoint on what it would be like to fall into the PPC: not the usual 'hey, magic, cool', but how someone would actually respond to having flora for bosses, horrendous working conditions, magic technology, and a job which occasionally involves cold-blooded murder.

3/ A World One human... from a very long time ago. Let's say Ancient Rome. She's someone who not only doesn't understand PPC technology, she literally doesn't have the framework to come to understand. And, significantly, she doesn't care. She has the idol that summons the magic doorway, she knows it must be provided by one of the gods, and those people who witter on about 'remote activators' are to be ignored. For best results, written in first person, and keeping the theme all the way through.

From that, you can tell that she's very confident in her worldview - y'know, sort of like most people are. ^~ I don't picture her as trying to persuade the others, though. It could be that she was a Roman slave, accustomed to holding opinions without showing them; I'm not sure. But I think she'd be fascinating.

She's basically a reaction to all those agents who are from places without tech, and get it instantly. Seriously, how? (Actually, come to think of it: she's Leela, isn't she?)

4/ and 5/ An agent team. Our first agent is one of the Greenwitches from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheDarkIsRising_Sequence#Greenwitch">Greenwitch: basically a magic-powered woman made of sticks. There's a new one made every year, so she's not quite a canon character. Like the Greenwitch from the book, she's selfish, petty, quick to anger: all that good stuff.

But... she lives off the Wild Magic, and that's in short supply at HQ. When she runs low, she literally comes apart - she bursts into a storm of twigs and rage and fear.

That's where her partner comes in: Saranésë. He's a Tolkienian nature spirit in the mold of Bombadil, and he's basically an incarnation of the Wild Magic. Like Tom, he invokes it through singing - which means he spends a lot of time singing to his partner to 'pull herself together' (har har). Being an incarnation of the landscape, he's pretty calm, but also playful - again, see Bombadil.

In the original version of this idea, he was a singing Green Man, but I can't remember... uh, why. He could still be, if someone can come up with a decent rationale.

---

I'm not sure I want all of these up for adoption, actually. 2/ and 3/, definitely, but 1/ and 4-5/, I think I'll keep for myself. I might still do something with them.

hS

Well, yeah, it's an okay idea, but putting them up for adoption by new people is just plain daft. What would be the point? Other than for people with lacklustre agent ideas or zero creativity to still write for the PPC, but if that's the case... why would such people be here? Hell, I'm given to understand that part of the Permission-acquisition process is to bodge together your own agents, which is why I have an arguably-disabled clown, a horrible Time Lord, and Henning Wehn's lurid pufferfish fursona. It's part of the fun! =]
