Who have you planned on a list?
Well, this is the closest I've come to a list. Reposted from RP Discussion:
Dr. Olympia Myklos is who I played in the previous Rapture scenario, but Jeremi would like me to play someone different this time around.
At least two people in General Chat have requested Goombella, but Goombella, I feel, works best as an NPC who can chime in and do tattles (sometimes on request from the other characters) at any point in the game. She wouldn't work very well as a character who could be eliminated and separated from the rest of the group at any point.
Cologne from Ranma 1/2 is someone I've considered, but she might be a bit too above 'Spider-Man level' for this scenario, given that she knows the Breaking Point, the Hiryu Shoten Ha, and the Chestnut Fist, and such. Jeremi wishes to avoid the problems with overpowered characters that we had in the previous scenario (where Luther Strode and Nora Valkyrie pretty much dominated many of the fights), and I do want to respect his wishes.
Ukyo Kuonji might also be ruled out because she relies on a whole arsenal of cooking supplies used for combat purposes.
As for One Piece ... well, over half the cast of One Piece would be ineligible for this scenario. That would include the 'Heavy Hitter' trio of Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, most of their antagonists, and many of their allies. Of the Straw Hats, Nami and Usopp would probably still be eligible, as neither are particularly powerful and win their battles through using their wits and whatever tools they have at their disposal.
Characters I've played before.
Well, the following characters are likely ruled out: Rogue, Firestar, Bowser and Kammy Koopa, Lia Nelson (the Tangent Flash - last I checked even she wasn't sure what her limits were), Firebrand, and just about any Flash or Green Lantern character.
Characters who might make for interesting interaction with other player characters, but would have to avoid many of the fights if the enemy doesn't have basic human weaknesses: Mina Murray (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - the graphic novel verson), Nabiki Tendo, Lotta Hart, Betty Brant, Moira MacTaggert, Franziska von Karma, Dr. Olympia Myklos.
Characters on the 'Spider-Man' level: Gabrielle (of Xena), Phantom Girl, Kitty Pryde, Spider-Girl (Mayday), Saturn Girl, The Monster's Mate and Fang (from Mad Monster Party), American Dream (from MC-2), Danielle Moonstar (of New Mutants fame), Mystique
Of course I could go with a new character -- someone I haven't played before. But of course I'd need to immerse myself in the source material a lot to get their character down, and I'd need a lot of new pics.

Ideally, I'd like someone who'd work well with this scenario and have the potential for good interactions with the rest of the cast. I don't want to play the character who's just ... there.
