Character Info
Profile
Scott Free is the child of Highfather, and a Homo Immortalis of the realm of New Genesis. After decades under the merciless thumb of Darkseid and the sadistic Granny Goodness, Scott escaped Apokalips and fled to Earth. He found himself in Metropolis and for the first time, could blend in with the people around him. It's a condition he relishes and he's started to see the city-- and the people-- as being more than merely his less-evolved cousins.
Timeline
Timeline:
Born April 1, 1971, Scott was the unlucky child of the Highfather of New Genesis. He was not
given a name; it was his destiny to be given to Darkseid. An exchange of children to bring peace.
His memories of his life before Apokalips are scattered motes of dust in his dreams.
1975:
The young child is brought to Apokalips and delivered to the 'care' of Granny Goodness. He would
spend forty years being mauled, abused, and beaten by an ever-more-perilous training regimen. As
others wilted, cracked, or died, Scott continued to survive.
2015: Approaching maturity,
Scott realized that Granny Goodness was growing desperate at her continued failure to break him. Her
prize pupil was becoming outspoken and defiant, no matter how hard he was beaten.
2016: With
the help of Big Barda, Scott escapes Apokalips. His exit was far from graceful and instead of
returning to New Genesis, the Boomtube destabilized and dropped him on Earth in Metropolis.
2017: He takes on the name 'Scot Free' and finds a passable living as an illusionist. Card
hustles and a little well-planned larceny help him meet ends between gigs. When Doomsday arrived to
fight Superman, Scott made very sure that he was nowhere near the fighting.
2018: When Loki
attacked New York, Scott this time joined humanity. He provided covert support for costumed
vigilantes and kept his identity and presence secret from most.
2021: Word reaches Scott
that Barda has made it to Earth! Thus far unwilling to reach out to his clan among the Eternals,
Scott elects to approach Barda to help her ease her way into this strange new world.

Personality
Heroic:
Scott is fundamentally one of the good guys. He protects the innocent, rights wrongs, and stands
up for his beliefs without hesitation.
Irrepressible:
Granny Goodness tried to beat the positivity out of Scott. He was tortured, abused, starved, and
beaten for his entire childhood. He still believes in right over wrong, diplomacy over violence, and
good versus evil. He is determined to show Apokalips that their methods are wrong.
Long Con:
Scott Free plays the waiting game. He keeps his eye on the prize and ad-libs anything his
considerable planning failed to account for. Scott will endure embarrassment, humiliation and even
defeat if there's a goal at the end he's gaming for. Often his enemies-- or friends-- realize too
late that they've not captured Scott, but rather stepped into one of his own traps.
Showmanship:
What's the point of doing something the boring way when there's a fun and flashier method that
works just as well? Scott is adept at capturing attention and distracting with sleight-of-hand
skills. For him, it's not just about surviving life; it's about embracing it.
Character Sheet
Powers
Homo Immortalis:
Scott Free is quite young among the immortals of New Genesis. He still shares in the powers of
his people, fueled by the light of the Power Cosmic. Scott can lift 20 tons under ideal conditions
and his body is durable enough to slow and stop small-caliber rounds. He is hardy and resistant to
many common diseases and poisons, and can operate in natural extremes of heat and cold with only
mild discomfort. It can take a day or more of heavy exertion for Scott to tire. Actively
manipulating his personal gravimetric field allows Scott to maneuver very effectively, and reach
potential speeds up to 400mph.
Power Cosmic:
For brief intervals Scott can tap into the Power Cosmic in a fractional way. This temporarily
bolsters his superhuman physiology, making him tougher, faster, and stronger. Even the engineered
Homo Immortalis was not meant to draw endlessly upon the power of the Source, and prolonged use can
have crippling or permanent impact on him.
Telepathy:
Scott possesses only the most rudimentary of telepathic ability. He can sense emotions in
people, and send and receive simple messages or images. Complex or abstract concepts are more
difficult to convey, particularly to strangers. His sole area of strength is obfuscating his
location from anyone searching for him telepathically.
Skills
Celestial Tech:
Celestial technology is the underpinning of society on both New Genesis and Saturn's moon of
Titan. It is advanced beyond anything Earth has produced and relies on physical properties that few
humans could grasp. Between breaking them and repairing them, Scott has become quite an
expert.
Concealment:
Illusions and vanishing acts only work if you really know how to hide. Scott is a master at this
task. He can conceal himself from sight, mask his sounds, even suppress his scent and personal aura.
His skill as a telepath is quite average for a Homo Immortalis, except this: few beings can compel
him to give up his location or what he sees with his own eyes.
Dirty Fighting:
Scott is of relatively average strength among his people. He has long since learned that winning
fights means coming at his enemies sideways. His style is brutal and precise, doing maximum damage
with a hit from the shadows before diving away again. He will use improvised weapons, environmental
hazards, light, shadow, darkness and sound to conceal his motions from the target. He is one guy who
always has something up his sleeve.
Escapology:
Scott isn't called 'Mister Miracle' for nothing. One would be hard-pressed to find a sentient in
the whole of the universe better equipped than he for escaping from impossible situations. No jail
can hold him, no labyrinth can keep him trapped, and no defenses can keep him out of anywhere he
wants to get.
Fighting:
Scott's a lover, not a fighter. But he's far from helpless, trained in the pit fights of
Apokalips. He can fight empty-handed with some basic proficiency. His particular skills emphasize
range fighting, with handguns or thrown weapons. It turns out knife throwing is a fairly lethal
talent for someone with near-perfect proprioception and enough strength to bench press an
elephant.
Gadgeteer:
Scott has long felt that with the right set of tools, keys are irrelevant. He has developed
dozens of gadgets and accessories to address a dizzying array of possible barriers or obstacles.
Micro-welding lasers in his gloves, an Aero Disc hidden in his boots; there seems to be no end to
his imagination or creativity.
Sleight of Hand:
Fake left, go right. Hide something in plain sight. Create scenarios that audiences will
automatically find faith in. It's not just about being able to pull literal rabbits from a hat.
Scott is a master at misdirection, of the psychological tools that separates great magicians from
the merely good ones.
Strategist:
Scott makes it look easy, but that's because he's a man who believes in being prepared. He never
charges into a situation without thoroughly analyzing it and preparing multiple contingencies. He is
a fan of the long con and will set up scenarios where he is embarrassed or defeated if it means
he'll pull off the score in the end.
Resources
Miracle Suit:
Part armor, part stage costume, Scott is rarely seen without his chosen attire. The
modifications it contains seem endless; it is flame-retardant, proof against many chemicals,
insulated against electricity and cold, and sealed against space. The cloak offers adaptive
camoflaguge and even light-bending invisibility. Scott's Mother Box has been partially disassembled
and is inconspicuously distributed around the outfit. The boots contain collapsed Aero Discs to
bolster his flying requirements. Micro-welding lasers are concealed in the fingertips and there are
dozens of other tools and gadgets cleverly hidden or concealed inside the garment. The palette:
specifically chosen to irritate Granny Goodness with how colorful and cheerful it is.
Mother Box:
A Mother Box is a living computerized entity. Always a she, and never an it, she looks after
those who posess her by accessing the power of the Power Cosmic for various effects. She can produce
the Aero Discs used for flight, create Boom Tubes for travel, and help with boosts of stamina or
endurance for her user. She allows Scott to understand any language, enhanced his telepathy, and
moderate his moods. Scott's Mother Box has been partially deconstructed and integrated into his
suit's design and light padding. Mother Boxes, when damaged, can be healed with the love and hope of
the user. They are not fully independent AIs, as they can only function with the attention and love
of their assigned user.
New Genesis:
Scott was born to the colony of Homo Immortalis that dwell on New Genesis. Aside from being
Highfather's son, he has personal and familial relationships with both New Genesis and the Eternals
of Titan. He can call on them for aid and support.
Weaknesses
Absent Fathers:
Scott is the son of Highfather, ruler of New Genesis. He was given to Darkseid as part of an
attempt to continue diplomacy between New Genesis and Apokalips. He deeply resents being used as a
tool for diplomacy, which is all either of those two giants saw him as.
Celestials:
Homo Immortalis are a breeding program of the ancient primordial race known as Celestials. Scott
and others were created with the intent of exploring humanity's genetic potential. If the Celestials
return to Earth they may very well make demands of Scott that he cannot ignore without putting
himself in great jeopardy.
Granny Goodness:
Granny never did break Scott in her hellish schools, but she came close. She is a source of
frequent nightmares for him. The cycle of nurture-dependency-abuse was repeated often over the
years. Scott knows Granny is thoroughly evil... but part of him still hopes to redeem her
someday.
Human Technology:
Celestial machinery with nigh-unfathomable science? Not a problem. Cell phone repair? Scott
would draw a blank. Modern human machines are as foreign to him as his tools are to them, and even
this proficient gadget maker might get hung up trying to do an oil change the first time.
On the Run:
Scott Free is one of the few people to escape the clutches of Granny Goodness. She is not one to
forgive and forget. Anytime she encounters him or learns of his whereabouts, she's going to take
reckless actions to 'rescue' him.
Radion:
A failsafe engineered into Homo Immortalis. Radion is a rare energetic emission that can only be
produced artificially. When the Homo Immortalis is exposed to it their connection to the Power
Cosmic is rapidly drained. The energies that fuel their life force and provide them their fantastic
powers are diminished in moments. With enough exposure the damage can be near permanent, or even
fatal.
