[Character Information] Permissions Post: Billy Kaplan / Wiccan
This permissions post is mostly relevant to Superheroes, particularly of Earth, but other, popular and modern-ish geek-culture characters also apply.
EDIT: first, as a role reversal note- if you play a geek-fandom character who would be familiar with Young Avengers or Billy himself, he's been made aware of the fact that he's in comic books in at least one other universe, so fourth-walling on him is okay. However I'd prefer if his future wasn't revealed.
Billy/Wiccan is a fanboy. Probably to the nth degree. He knows a lot about the superheroes of Marvel-616 Earth, their archenemies, whatever could be considered "public information" in regards to heroes, and some unpublicized stuff, too. Additionally, it's been ICly recognized that he's into more geeky stuff, like Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and Lord of the Rings, so it's safe to assume he knows a fair bit. It's never indicated that he's into manga and whatnot, so I'm gonna assume he knows the bare minimum, like popular series and video game stuff. There's a lot of potential for what he could know, though, so feel free to give it a try anyway if you want, and I'll look into it and confirm yea or nay. He's like a human encyclopedia of useless information. And as a super hero he has access to the Avengers database, so there's a lot of important info he could potentially be aware of.
Unfortunately, I am not an encyclopedia, just a simple player who lacks his years of obsession. I'm going to try to educate myself via the Marvel Wikia and other Wikias for the popular stuff, as well as reading all the comics I have time for, but it isn't always clear about what can potentially be known by others and what is private. That's where you come in!
If you have a character that Billy might know or know about, fill me in on a few things! I'll keep it in mind during threads. He'll almost certainly keep quiet about things that might upset people (such as telling them they die in the future if a player would rather they not find out, because that could suck), but he can still quietly fanboy about them and say awkward things that make no sense from time to time. Hurray for brainbreaking?
Chronologically I've taken Billy from the year 2011, so he could potentially know anything up to spring of that year. For the Marvel timeline, he's from the Civil War, so comic-relevant stuff up to that point would be known.
So for Superheroes, fill this in, please:
And for other geeky character types, fill this in please:
Thank you so much for your help, guys!

no subject
Character Canon: She's from X-Men: Evolution
What kind of information is public knowledge?: Well, they'd know her powers based on the movie - know her relationships and general issues, possibly. Know the name "Marie." But I'm not sure if any of this would be out there since... she's in his world. I don't know? However you want to play it.
What kind of information is known in the superhero community?: DEPENDING on when it is in the Marvel Timeline, he might know that she goes by Anna Marie in his world... but even in Legacy, I think that's kept pretty private. He'd know the Miss Marvel thing. I'm fairly sure he'd know the Mystique and Kurt connections - very sure about the Kurt connection, honestly. (And depending on if he is post-Messiah Complex he'd know Kurt was dead and mutants next to extinct. The Avengers showed up
help out with Yet Another Attempt at eliminating mutantkind. He'd also possibly know that she'd gained control of her powers, lost Miss Marvel's powers, and made up with Carol as best as can be done. He'd have probably heard about the times she was Team Leader, and potentially some other stuff, idk, trust your judgement.)
What shouldn't be known? The one thing I don't want her knowing is if anyone knows her real name. The other thing I don't want her knowing as much is the fact that she gains control of her powers. It would bring her too much relief. >>
