Added DiffLines:

'''The Menagerie''' is an online roleplaying game using the "Masks: A New Generation" game. Masks is a TabletopGame/PoweredByTheApocalypse game meant to evoke teen-super fiction like WesternAnimation/YoungJustice or Franchise/TeenTitans.

The game has five player characters:

* '''Concord''' (Adam Amari), whose emotions power his construct-creating abilities
* '''Ghost Girl''' (Charlotte Palmer), a Civil War-era ghost with a variety of mystic powers
* '''Jason Quill''', a JonnyQuest {{Expy}} with a protective nanobot vest made by his father
* '''Link''' (Leo Snow), a powered-armor pilot who built robot friends
* '''Mercury''' (Harry Gale), a speedster from a family of speedsters

!! This game provides examples of:
* AdaptiveArmor - Jason's Nanobots
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent - The HHL as this world's Justice League (hopefully the JL and not The Authority)
* AlternateContinuity - The Sepiaverse
* AnimalSuperheroes - Possibly? No one really knows what's up with The Animal.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing - Hyena and Jaguar spring to mind.
* BadassNormal - Agent Waters, for sheer preparedness. Various Ponies are also pretty useful in their own ways.
* BewareTheSuperman - Not quite true - our world is more [/pmwiki.php/Main/EarnYourHappyEnding Earn Your Happy Ending], but this might still come up in some situations.
* BroughtDownToNormal - A bit, in that everyone in the Bodyswap is, to one degree or another, dealing with not having their powers right now.
** BroughtDownToBadass - Mostly though, the swap has worked out to you being a different kind of awesome.
* BuildingSwing - I mean, if Link hasn't done this he really should.
* BusFullOfInnocents - Or cars full. Or schools. Whatever.
* CantStayNormal - Seen in the HHL.
* TheCape - I mean... obviously?

* CaptainErsatz
** Notably in the HHL, though there's a lot of recombining and remixing going on.
** Hecate is Grey Witch from Dreadnought (note: haven't read the 2nd book, so don't assume too much here)
** Vigil was supposed to be a Batman analog, but now they're much cooler.
** Sigrun the Valkyrie is sort of a Wonder Woman/Donna Troy/Thor thing, I guess.
** Golem started out as sort of The Thing, but has a bit of Doomed Tony Stark in there now.
** Nautilus is kind of Drunk Tony Stark, plus Namor the Asshole of Atlantis, plus Captain Nemo.
** Hyena is sort of The Question, plus Vixen.
* CaptainEthnic - Ugh. Did I do that with Tatanka? I hope not. He's not a stereotype, I hope, so...
* CaptainGeographic - Iron Cross (Villain), Dread Queen (Villain).
* CaptainPatriotic - We kind of notably don't have a lot of star-spangled heroes active in Halcyon right now.
* ChestInsignia - Only Concord right now, I think, which is a darn shame.
* ChromeChampion - Maybe Pneuma is a bit of this when she's in 'fight form'? I'm not sure.
* CivvieSpandex - Jason, although that might count as [/pmwiki.php/Main/NotWearingTights Not Wearing Tights] at all.
