You know the 'standard' Gamer system already in all likelihood. It has levels, stat grinding, magic, skill books, IDs, a hammerspace inventory, and the dual package of Gamer's Mind and Gamer's Body.
We aren't doing that. Instead, you've got five slots with which to pick games, which you gain powers (and a drawback) based on. In addition, each game has two optional upgrades costing an additional slot. Please be aware however, that choosing one of a game's upgrades ratchets up the cost of the game's other upgrade to 3 slots (it will be possible to get more slots during the quest, but they will be few and far between).
Without further ado, here's the games available for choosing!
Now that you've picked some powers, it's time to answer a few important questions about who you are aside from the powers
1: What is your given name?
[] write-in
2: What is your family name?
[] write-in
3: What are your top three favorite pastimes?
[] Video Games
[] Tabletop Games
[] Tinkering
[] TV
[] Reading
[] Building and flying model rockets
[] physical fitness
[] write-in
4: What's your job?
[] A high-paying technological job, like being an aerospace engineer.
[] You're some variety of medical practitioner. Perhaps you'll be a dentist?
[] You're a magazine editor working for a generic Tabloid.
[] You do one of the jobs no-one really thinks about but still keeps society running anyways.
[] You're a minimum wage intern working at the local generic fast food place.
[] You're in the military.
[] write-in
5: Summarize your personality in a paragraph
[] write-in
Now that we know who you are and what you can do, where are you?
[] Normal Earth (Obvious)
[] Historical Earth (Same as above, but you drop in on any date of your choice between 0 AD and 1987)
[] Insertion (Pick any non-video game setting. That's where you're going. Please be aware that if it's something I haven't read I'll basically be running entirely off of wikis)
[] Mashup (Pick any two non-video game settings. I will try to make them into a workable fusion setting, before sending you to the result. Due to the workload this places on me, it will only occur with at least 2/3rds majority.)
How did you get here?
[] What do you mean, how did I get here? I've always lived here. (You are native to this world, with everything that entails)
[] A woman in a faintly glowing runed cloak offered me a chance to go on the adventure of a lifetime, and I took it. (Consensual ROBing)
[] I went to sleep one night, and when I woke up I was somewhere else. (Non-consensual ROBing, smooth)
[] I was just walking down the street, when a rift in time and space opened up and sucked me in. There were these sparks of light there, and I managed to grab a few before the rift spat me out where I am now. (Non-consensual ROBing, rough)
[] I was working on a teleportation machine, it misfired, and now I'm here. At least it didn't explode. (SCIENCE!)

+You can level up skills to Legendary, at which point anything you do involving those skills is an automatic crit-success. Please be aware that his takes years of constant training at minimum.
+If you get particularly inspired, you may enter a Strange Mood. When you come back to your senses you'll have an indestructible Artifact of awesomeness, and the craft skill you made it with will have automatically leveled up to Legendary. Please note that outside of exceptional circumstances this will only happen once EVER.
+You get a loyal band of seven Dwarfs with skills chosen by you at the start of your adventure. Take good care of them, and more will show up (though you'll never be quite sure where they're coming from).
-Tantrum Spirals. Just... Tantrum Spirals

+You know all those crazy contraptions (perpetual motion machines, nailing a fortress to the sky, drawbridges that instantly disintegrate anything they land on) that DF players make that would never work IRL? Now you can actually build them! Your Dwarfs can too by the way.
+You can even do things that DF doesn't quite allow yet, like making a giant fortress-mech with lava powered death rays!
+/- No-one'll ever be able to copy your tech, because it just doesn't work for them for some reason.
+/- On the other hand, whatever world you land on now has Dwarf Fortress geology too. This includes both Adamantine and the HFS.

+You start with 6 Legendary skills and 2 Artifacts of your choice
+If your other picks come with advanced tech or magic items, you can have Artifact versions of those items
-Dwarf's Metabolism: You need alcohol to live, if you are ever sober for 48 consecutive hours you will suffer cardiac arrest (or the nearest equivalent), which can only be remedied by getting some more booze in you. You are not immune to the mind-effecting properties of alcohol.

+You've got a shiny new robotic body, complete with an internalized fusion reactor, meaning you don't need to breath, eat, or sleep (you still need the occasional glass of water to filter deuterium from).
+You're also immune to poisons, diseases, and psionics
+Your new body has some pretty cool specs; You can run at 120 mph for hours, power lifting up to a ton of whatever is easy, you can jump up to 8 meters in the air in Earth gravity, and you're durable enough to take a Tomahawk cruise missile to the face (though you'll need some serious work done to get back on your feet after).
+You've got a transforming plasma Arm Cannon, you can fire it 5 times per second, and can dial the power of each shot between 'Glock' and 'M1 Abrams main cannon HEAT'.
+Your body slowly self-repairs, meaning that as long as your processor survives and there's enough of the right raw materials around you'll only be out of commission for a month maximum.
-You don't have a civilian mode, leaving you smack dab in the middle of the uncanny valley.

+MAD SCIENCE!
+More specifically, you now have the combined genius of Doctors Light and Wily. If they built it, you can too, though you're starting out at around Mega Man 4 levels of tech. You can even invent something (or someone) completely original with enough work! (note: making anything with true Free Will will take at least 10 years of work from start, though what you start with is pretty freaking close)
+/- You're human (or at least biological) again, though you could change this with a few years of tireless research.

+/- You're human (or at least biological) again, though you could change this with a few years of tireless research.
+Your robot body can now run at 500 MPH, power lift 10 times what it previously could, almost fly, and you're durable enough to tank 3 MOABs to the face.
+Your arm cannon now has a maximum uncharged power equal to a Tomahawk cruise missile, and if you charge it you can get as much power as a MOAB out of a single blast
+You've also got an insanely powerful Beam Saber now, that effectively un-exists anything the blade passes through
+If an enemy has some sort of unique attack or ability, after beating them you can use it too (though it has limited energy/ammo that'll need about a week to recharge without help)
+You're no longer in the Uncanny Valley! And you've even got a civilian mode!

+You're no longer in the Uncanny Valley! And you've even got a civilian mode!
+You now have a fully functional and staffed space center on the coast of some equatorial location or other. It never seems to run out of space program supplies. You drop in at your space center on whatever world you go to.
+Minions: Kerbals are excellent pilots, loyal, good with tech, genuinely nice people to be around, and you never seem to run out of them. Please be aware that they aren't too good in a fight unless they're driving some variety of war machine, and they're still people who will object (possibly in a violent manner) to being treated as disposable.
+Tech: By default, in addition to stock (slightly buffed so that if a design can get into orbit of Kerbin it can get into orbit of whatever your starting world is) you have access to the entire Near Future family of mods, Extraplanetary Launchpads, Some sort of self-sufficient colony pack, and the Atomic Age nuclear engine mod. You also have access to any tech that you could reasonably be inferred as having, such as advanced and safe miniaturizable nuclear power for Atomic Age and Near Future Electrical. (NOTE: Tweak the nuclear lightbulb's mass down to 8, also double its thrust for the purpose of submitting a design)(OTHER NOTE: Probe Cores are right on the edge of having free will, and if you actively develop the tech you could be making fully sapient AI inside of a decade. This is greatly reduced if you take a robotics-specialized MAD SCIENCE!!! power.)

+/- You are now a Kerbal, and have a full set of memories of growing up on Kerbin and somehow managing to become the Emperor of Kerbkind.
+Instead of one little space center, you've got a full copy of the Kerbol system just one light year away from your selected start world. It is heavily colonized, with even Dres having a permanent population of about 1,000.
+Tech: You've now got all the goodies from the Interstellar Mod, including a basic warp drive. This also includes nuclear fusion, antimatter, full sapience AGI right off the bat (though it'll need some work to miniaturize), and laser cannons rated at around 10 megawatts per cubic meter. You also get the added goody of being able to back up your mind so that if you get killed you just wake up in a fresh clone body. Please be aware that aside from the Warp Drive everything you have is limited by the speed of light.
-Please be aware that the Empire of Kerbin is highly expansionist, and though there's no term limits you could very easily be voted out of office if you don't keep the common Kerbal happy

+You've got awesome reality breaking physics engine powers now!
+Some of the things you can do include: Inducing immense phantom forces capable of ripping capital ships apart, blasting hapless victims apart into a pile of body horror, temporarily editing the values for the local physics, making a vehicle you're driving along with any occupants it has invincible to all damage and able to operate even when it doesn't have any power or fuel, flinging victims out of the system at superluminal speeds, or glitching planets out of existence.
-Each time you use these powers you gain some corruption. Roll under your corruption for power usage, and you get hit with the eldricht backlash as your powers misfire. This is guaranteed lethal with no respawns allowed (though you could revert to a checkpoint), and you can only decrease your corruption by 1d4% per day.

+You've got the equivalent of a high school education from the 2550s. You can cobble together a LOT of interesting tech that can't be built today on that knowledge, but won't be getting anything truly OP like teleportation or immortality-cloning out of the deal.
+You've got some pretty good fighting skills with improvised weapons, such that you could easily beat down a swordsman with just a fire extinguiser
+You get a complimentary space suit!
+You've got some pretty good fighting skills with improvised weapons, such that you could easily beat down a swordsman with just a fire extinguiser
+You get a complimentary space suit!
+You are now a qualified Engineer, Scientist, Doctor, Mechanic, and Roboticist with the SS13 tech-base. You can even build a teleporter, cloning system or an AI in a cave with a box of scraps!
+Your start location is now the eponymous space station itself, which has been moved to high orbit over your selected start world.
+You can be the Captain, if you want
-Please be aware that there is a cunning and subtle Syndicate infiltrator somewhere on the station who has been tasked with ensuring your permanent death.

+You are now a Changeling.
+You're also a Wizard. This comes with a gem-encrusted hardsuit
+You've also got syndicate gear available to you, including stuff that would normally only be available to a nuclear operative.
-Changeling instincts make seeing other people as anything besides food REALLY hard.

-Changeling instincts make seeing other people as anything besides food REALLY hard.
+You've got an ultra-secret base now on the continent of your choice
+Your research team is good enough to reverse-engineer just about anything in months at most
+You've got soldiers under your command. While they suck horribly at first they turn into nigh-unstoppable badasses as they level up.
-The aliens followed you, and are now invading whatever world you find yourself on.
-Good luck staying funded on a world where no-one even remembers starting your project.

+You start the game with your tech base including plasma weapons, power armor, basically everything endgame X-COM has besides psionics. You've even got ways to artificially make your own Elerium, Alien Alloy, and MELD! Please note that this includes aerospace craft more or less equivalent to what the aliens have, possibly even capital ships if you manage to scrape together the resources.
-The aliens have realized that something is screwy, and they're sending a much larger invasion force than normal. You'd have your work cut out for you if this is all you had access to.

+You've got psychic powers strong enough to overpower even the uber ethereal at least 50% of the time now.
+Yeah, this is hilariously OP
+When tested, at least 70% of your personnel will turn out to be psychic
-Same as the other upgrade. Yes, this stacks.

+Revert to your last checkpoint (default: the last time you woke up) any time you get killed.
+Double Jump, you can do it now.
+You have aquired a pistol with the conceptual ability that ANYTHING will go down if you shoot it enough times, though each shot does very little damage.
-Any deliberate attack, trap, or environmental hazard that manages to connect is now instantly lethal.

+You are now perfectly aware of everything within 100 meters of yourself
+Within this zone of awareness you can reshape the area to your whims
+The possibilities are endless, make apples that fall up to kill people, add rows of spikes that get up and chase people, even twist space into a knot!
-Please be aware that you can't pause the world while doing this, and it's a wee bit time consuming, meaning that using it in a fight, while certainly possible, is risky.

+Infinite jumps... sure, why not.
+Your pistol is now powerful enough to wreck a Destroyer (naval vesel) in just 20 shots.
+You've now got a set of amazingly good combat instincts granting you auto-crits for everything in a fight.
-You will be constantly beset by those who wish to slay you and take your title of being THE GUY.

+ You now know how Terran tech works, along with how to build and maintain it.
+/- While it now takes a more realistic (read: long) amount of time to build something like a battlecruiser or a THOR mech, they also have more realistic durability, meaning that a bunch of yahoos with assault rifles won't be shooting down your capital ship.
- Your start world likely doesn't have Minerals or Vespene gas, meaning you'll have to mine for resources the hard way. Good thing your guys still have those old plans for a D-D fusion reactor.

+You've now got psychic powers!
+Unlike the other psionic options, you can dive straight into someone's inner mental landscape, and (perhaps literally) see, and perhaps change what makes them tick.
+/- You only start with the most basic psychic powers, and leveling up will take a few years at minimum, given there won't be anyone to train you in all likelihood.
+/- Mind-diving doesn't stop time while you're doing it.

She can blast through even the most obtuse paperwork (possibly in a language she doesn't even know) with blatantly superhuman speed, comprehension and efficiency, can almost literally bury opponents in red tape, and makes sure to stay well-informed to relevant information. Her duties include helping you with your paperwork, and providing you with requested information in a quick and efficient manner.
Mortally wounded on his very first combat mission, Otto's brain was extracted and placed into a combination combat robot/life-support system. This body Is superhuman in every conceivable way, meaning he outperforms even soldiers in power armor. As an added bonus, this new body of his is low-profile and lifelike enough that he can (barely) pass for a baseline human when on leave.
A highly skilled Therapist, Gio isn't one for a direct fight, but he has a load of buffs lasting several hours that he can apply to others. He has well over 50 years of experience in the supernatural world, 15 of which were spent orchestrating the downfall of well over 320 Torturers.
Efficiency level: A++
Spells known (NOTE: There's plenty more, but these are the more commonly used ones. If you can think of a buff or debuff, there's around a 78% chance he can do it. Please be aware that the bigger and more impressive ones require far more Madness)
-Ease of life: A subtle luck effect, this spell persists for several weeks, and arranges matters so that the recipient can maintain a comfortable middle class lifestyle with little to no effort on their part, as an added effect the recipient never seems to get sick or suffer serious accidental injury. Gio is just plain good enough at efficiently powering his magic for this to be passive for him, but normally it requires a noticeable moderate expenditure of madness.
-Benevolent Aura: A passive running on the stress of his daily life, it makes those within 20 meters of him feel slightly better about their lot in life, it would be more powerful, but most of Gio's passive power goes into his continual Ease of Life.
-Luck Shield: Recipients receive a luck effect for several hours, during which any attack that would kill them instantly simply wind up somewhere they aren't.
-Critical Accuracy: The recipient of this buff will always land their attacks EXACTLY where they want them to go, and also gains a heightened sense for where the most devastating place they could hit is.
-A Wretched Existence: This is a curse targeted via an image of the one you want to effect, or via sympathetic magic. For the next month, things just start going wrong for them. This includes suddenly taking ill with a variety of debilitating ailments, a greatly increased likelihood of them suffering crippling injuries, making their legal identity get wiped out by hackers or the like, having all their insurance policies go defunct, and making their workplace incredibly hostile to their continued employment. That last effect also stretches to welfare and attempting to get a new job. The normal version of this spell has a 90% chance of rendering the target a non-threat for the duration and an indeterminate period after and a 20% lethality rate. With his improved efficiency, Gio's version is guaranteed to render the target a non-threat and has a 70% lethality rate. This still requires a monstrously huge amount of Madness.

The first Joe to reach sapience, Anne identifies as female, and has indeed wound up in a relationship with one of your soldiers. She has been upgraded with an incredibly lifelike and fully functional civilian mode, which she may change into or out of at will. Worth noting is this 'saves' whatever clothes she was wearing last when she transformed, preserving her modesty when she changes back to civilian mode.

An engineer who got a promotion, Steve is in charge of your newly completed moon base. Though he's an alcoholic, Steve makes up for this in sheer engineering skill, reducing the amount of resources required for construction without compromising on performance or reliability.

I'm interested to see where this goes but about to go to sleep so I won't vote tonight. I don't know that there are many people around at this time, and for those who don't like/have time to come up with their own plan there's also no plans available yet for them to support. You should certainly give it at least a day before deciding that there's not enough interest.

You misunderstood. If you take both of a game's upgrades at start, you can't take any powers from a different game.
[X] Plan "The REAL Emperor"

[X] Harry
2: What is your family name?
[X] Dresden
3: What are your top three favorite pastimes?
[X] Tabletop Games

4: What's your job?
[X] You do one of the jobs no-one really thinks about but still keeps society running anyways.
5: Summarize your personality in a paragraph
[X] Sarcastic but chivalrous, Harry somewhat resembles a certain detective from Chicago- and he was a detective, but never exactly worked with magic before. In day to day life he is a bit of a nerd, scraping by on the money he made from runaway kid cases and crazy divorcees. He's a country boy at heart, still not at home in the city- or advanced technical doodads. He does love pop culture and Star Wars in particular.
Now that we know who you are and what you can do, where are you?
[X] Insertion (Star Wars)
How did you get here?
[X] I went to sleep one night, and when I woke up I was somewhere else. (Non-consensual ROBing, smooth)
So Harry is now the Emperor of Kerbalkind. In Star Wars. This should be an interesting challenge...

Premade builds (Powers only)
Premade build #1: MWAHAHAHA!
Power Slots
1: Space Station 13
2: (UPGRADE) specialized knowledge
3: Mega Man
4: (UPGRADE) the brilliant doctor
5: Kerbal Space Program
(Two alternate spawn locations available: spawn at space center to avoid traitor)
Gameplay notes: With this build, you'll be spending a lot of time working on stuff in the lab. You're going to have a lot of awesome mad science lying around when all is said and done, and you've got a bunch of loyal minions willing and able to mass produce it for you. Just got to look out for that darn traitor. If you play your cards right though, you could easily become immortal.
Premade build #2: FOR THE EMPEROR!
Power Slots
1: Kerbal Space Program
2: (UPGRADE) Empire of Kerbin
3: I Wanna Be The Guy
4: (UPGRADE) I am The Guy!
5: Psychonauts
Gameplay Notes: You are now a budget version of the God-Emperor of Mankind, except for Kerbals. Please don't F- up like he did.
Premade build #3: IA IA KRAKEN FHTAGN!
Power Slots
1: I Wanna Be The Guy
2: Kerbal Space Program
3: (UPGRADE) Apostle of the Deep Space Kraken
4: Psychonauts
5: (UPGRADE) Psychic Prodigy
Gameplay Notes: This is a fun combo. You can whimsically fling Kraken-spells around without a care in the world, and any time you get hit with the backlash you just rewind and try again! Even when your corruption gets really high, you'll still have access to some pretty cool psychic powers. Just don't get hit. You've also got a bunch of Kerbals with you, if you really care about that.
Premade build #4: ALL THE MINIONS!
Power Slots
1: Dwarf Fortress
2: Kerbal Space Program
3: (UPGRADE) Empire of Kerbin
4: Starcraft
5: X-COM

Power Slots
1: Dwarf Fortress
2: (UPGRADE) Legendary Dwarf
3: Space Station 13
4: (UPGRADE) Ultra-robust package
5: Mega Man
Gameplay Notes: You are a beast in direct combat if you pick your skills, artifacts and other gear right. Just don't piss of an entire army at once, OK?

[X] What do you mean, how did I get here? I've always lived here. (You are native to this world, with everything that entails)
So, xcom aliens are invading earth and we start out with a base full of minions but no funding initially.
However, we are now a qualified Engineer, Scientist, Doctor, Mechanic, and Roboticist with the SS13 tech-base. You can even build a teleporter, cloning system or an AI in a cave with a box of scraps!
One of our minions is a subtle infiltrator from the syndicate out to kill us permanently... good thing we are a psychonaut prodigy who can trawl through their minds at a 1:100 time dilation rate. Our psychonaut power would also potentially let us interogate xcom aliens better. And with the SS13 knowledge we could out tech the aliens (although we are still, of course, stealing their all their tech)
You know OP, this massive char gen should really have been split into several parts, each one being voted for separately. it is just a wee bit overwhelming right now.

Ok here is my go at creating something fun:
[X] Plan: Fat Boy Neck-beard
1: What is your given name?
[X] Harry
2: What is your family name?
[X] Dresden
(its a good name and i've got no clue otherwise, will accept any others)
3: What are your top three favorite pastimes?
[X] Video Games
[X] Tabletop Games
[X] Reading
[X] Screwing/Pranking the combat capable grunts, you never do anything harmful but they sure are regretting using you as an example of a REMF in an unofficial training video and thus setting you up as the target of every prankster in the American Military.
(its one to large but i'm not sure which to remove so i'm leaving them all since they match)
4: What's your job?
[X] You're in the military.
- [X] You do one of the jobs no-one really thinks about but still keeps society running anyways.
(We are in the military but not as anyone special, we got in because we can do the boring stuff like accounting and not because we can shoot)
(+Basic Training.... a loooong time ago, +Ability to adapt to military life)
5: Summarize your personality in a paragraph
[X] You are in the military, but not one of those oh so famous special ops or even a grunt. No you are an accountant (or other similar) and not one of the whizzes, just an ordinary guy that knew some math and needed the money.
You live a fairly boring life thats major challenge up to now has been avoiding those remedial training sessions that the more combat capable grunts keep sending your way, every time you audit them. It was boring but a good enough life and the free time has combined to give you a love of the games and books that entertains you when your work gets you down.
Now if only you didn't have this creeping sense of doom ever since you shut down one particularly stupid idiot on SB last night, idiot thought that (insert chosen games here) would be an awesome cross-over universe. You proved him wrong of course but now your gut is sending you signals worse than that time the Army got pissed and 'accidentally' signed you up for Ranger Air-drop training, you got out of that one but only because you were owed that favour.....
(+Used to military life,+Used to bureaucracy,+odd skill set that rarely includes anything military useful but gives access to entire range of military skills, +Very good at getting out of trouble)
Basically think of him as a slightly overweight fat boy that is very good at covering his ass, possibility of becoming a bad-ass if they can ever get him to train (Chance of voluntary training slim)
Now that we know who you are and what you can do, where are you?
[] Normal Earth (Obvious)
[] Historical Earth (Same as above, but you drop in on any date of your choice between 0 AD and 1987)
How did you get here?
[] I went to sleep one night, and when I woke up I was somewhere else. (Non-consensual ROBing, smooth)
[] I was just walking down the street, when a rift in time and space opened up and sucked me in. There were these sparks of light there, and I managed to grab a few before the rift spat me out where I am now. (Non-consensual ROBing, rough)
Any of the above works but i'm just not sure which, it depend on if anyone has any good ideas for time and place. If not then its up to the QM to write one that he thinks fits.
[X] X-COM (basic package)
(A sweet base, amazing researchers and aliens to fight and steal tech from)
[] X-COM upgrade A: Advanced Tech Package]
(No need, the starcraft package can give us this with time)
[X] X-COM upgrade B: Psionic Powerhouse]
(We need some way to cheat in our training, plus it should work with the star-craft psionics if we work at it)
[X] Starcraft (basic package)
(works well with x-com tech and gives us some extra stuff for our base, if we use it plus any of the stuff we get from the aliens then the high tech package could be ours with a bit of work.)
[X] I Wanna Be The Guy (basic package)
(Tempting and it could be fun... but not the one hit kill, unless we can upgrade to B eventually?)
If we can't upgrade the "I wanna be the guy" then lets go with station 13, the training and skills are useful.
[X] Plan: Fat Boy Neck-beard
1: What is your given name?
[X] Harry
2: What is your family name?
[X] Dresden
(its a good name and i've got no clue otherwise, will accept any others)
3: What are your top three favorite pastimes?
[X] Video Games
[X] Tabletop Games
[X] Reading
[X] Screwing/Pranking the combat capable grunts, you never do anything harmful but they sure are regretting using you as an example of a REMF in an unofficial training video and thus setting you up as the target of every prankster in the American Military.
(its one to large but i'm not sure which to remove so i'm leaving them all since they match)
4: What's your job?
[X] You're in the military.
- [X] You do one of the jobs no-one really thinks about but still keeps society running anyways.
(We are in the military but not as anyone special, we got in because we can do the boring stuff like accounting and not because we can shoot)
(+Basic Training.... a loooong time ago, +Ability to adapt to military life)
5: Summarize your personality in a paragraph
[X] You are in the military, but not one of those oh so famous special ops or even a grunt. No you are an accountant (or other similar) and not one of the whizzes, just an ordinary guy that knew some math and needed the money.
You live a fairly boring life thats major challenge up to now has been avoiding those remedial training sessions that the more combat capable grunts keep sending your way, every time you audit them. It was boring but a good enough life and the free time has combined to give you a love of the games and books that entertains you when your work gets you down.
Now if only you didn't have this creeping sense of doom ever since you shut down one particularly stupid idiot on SB last night, idiot thought that (insert chosen games here) would be an awesome cross-over universe. You proved him wrong of course but now your gut is sending you signals worse than that time the Army got pissed and 'accidentally' signed you up for Ranger Air-drop training, you got out of that one but only because you were owed that favour.....
(+Used to military life,+Used to bureaucracy,+odd skill set that rarely includes anything military useful but gives access to entire range of military skills, +Very good at getting out of trouble)
Basically think of him as a slightly overweight fat boy that is very good at covering his ass, possibility of becoming a bad-ass if they can ever get him to train (Chance of voluntary training slim)
Now that we know who you are and what you can do, where are you?
[] Normal Earth (Obvious)
[] Historical Earth (Same as above, but you drop in on any date of your choice between 0 AD and 1987)

Sorry for double posting but i had an IDEA
Basically in universe turn the "that guy" option into a psionic construct instead of an actual body, it explains all the pros and cons of that option and even all the upgrades
I just thought i would share that little idea with you all since my muse hammered me with it when i wasn't looking.
