Eh I'm brainstorming. My power seems iffy though...was trying to make it unique, but now that I think about it, it seems similar to that new boys in that Secret Saturdays kind of sorta. But with my twist on it my character's powers would be different....hn. Oh well.

There should be a way to make literally any power you can think of (trust me I've looked over the system). As for an original character, I didn't mean you needed original powers, just that you couldn't say, "be" spiderman, etc.
You could by all means make someone with slight pre-cog to sense danger, climbing, super strength, web shooting devices etc. As long as it wasn't called "Peter Parker" or "Spiderman" you'd be good... you wouldn't be creative and cool but good haha.
I hope to start getting some of the powers down tonight.

oh thats a very good point...
XP
not entirely sure what I think about the system yet.
looking at the number of points needed to increase in rank, and how you get points, it would take too much time in my opinion.
cause I think I already have an idea for a character, but depending on the system I may have to completely abandon the idea and come up with something else

Well, you start off with 20 points, at PL 1.
Your hit is capped at your PL
So is any direct attacks that set DC's for your opponent (such as a sword striking them or a beam of energy), meaning those powers don't need to be past rank 1 either (not until you hit PL 2 that is).
Your skill ranks are capped at 5 though 1 power point will buy 4 skill ranks.
Your stats start all at 10 and can raise by 1 for one, or you can lower some below ten to gain extra power points (10 is just the base state, for example 10 strength is the average persons strength in the world, if you go lower you start getting negatives to strength skills, if you go higher, you start getting bonsues, etc).
So trust me, you start with plenty for a rank one character. The original system claims 15 for each PL, but we raised it to 20 so people wouldn't level as fast, yet would be able to allocate points fairly wide spread.
Your characters arn't going to have like... a million powers or anything, but they should be able to attain a decent few.
I'll be putting up my own example character that I intend to be using in the guild.
A psychopath from another dimension. He wears an outfit similar to that of a circus host, though his top hat has a large tooth filled mouth on it.
He isn't much of a direct fighter yet he retains the ability to control minds, and summon "freaks" from his dimension.
He can also teleport short distances by steping through his dimensional riples, and even transport himself and someone he touches to his dimension as well (btw have fun getting back to the real world without his or another dimension hopers help).
Anywho, all that based on a PL 1 character with only 20 points.
Obviously all the rules for those powers he has aren't posted up yet, but they will be (and we have the rules sitting in front of us to type out, so not like I'm making one before the details are hammered out).
At the moment he only has 2 freaks, each are minions that he can command to fight, both with 15 pp's of their own. However it takes a move or standard action to command each, so while he can have multiple minions and a mind controlled subject, he can only make one do his bidding per action (aka up to two commands a turn since you normally have a move and standard action)
Lastly remember to save power points you can always put flaws on powers, thus making them cheaper.
For example, my dimensional step is usually a simple move action, however I put the "action" flaw on it twice (it will show up under the power and many other powers) making the action turn to a standard for the first application, and to a Full round for the second.
This made the power 2 points per rank less.
Normally it was only 2 points per rank, which would mean it's 1/2 a point per rank (the way that works is 1pp just buys 2 ranks in the power).
So I applied an extra to it that raised it by 1 pp per rank, back up to the standard "1 per rank". Which allowed me to take a passenger, aka anyone I'm touching, with me.
This game really should be interesting. While you can't make your flawless perfect character right off the bat, you should be able to make something fairly cool if your clever. Not to mention over time it will allow room for your character to develop and gain new powers and abilities.
REMEMBER
PL ONLY determines your cap in things.
Power points (which you earn one each week of as well as in tournoments and events) determine what you can purchase ability wise.

ah. well that makes it better lol.
I figured you didn't start with many points, if any o.o;
I dont want a flawless perfect character, mine is going to be a bit of a nutcase XD
she's going to be alot like Franken Fran.
a twisted mad doctor sort of like Frankenstein.
I was thinking to make her 'immortal' no normal stuff can kill her, like being shot in the head wont kill her, though it would drop her for awhile while she regenerates or whatever I wanna call it lol.
but I dunno if that would work out O.o
I want to have at least 4 arms. and some super powers that I haven't decided on yet. and some like, magical stitches or something that she can control.
just a bare prototype really lol.
I like the sound of yours.
he sounds really scary o.o.
Though for some reason it made me think of "killer clowns from outer space." (I'm pretty sure that was its name)
yea this guild/game really sounds like fun to me >W<
I was just a little worried at first, as to how long it would take to make an interesting character lol

Oh trust me with just 20pp you can make some really interesting stuff as long as your willing to have a few flaws here and there in your abilities.
As for my character he is a bit of a villain... cause he... well he kidnaps people with abilities, takes them to his dimension, and tries to turn them into "freaks" for his show.
But yeah, you can't make yourself really unkillable, but with the regeneration power (with the re-incarnation extra) you can make yourself really damn hard to kill.
There is however really cheap stuff like immunity to aging and the like.

hm. sounds like it could be good.
well I mean she techically 'dies' no heartbeat no brain function.
then a little later she revives, and restores the damage.
so it sounds like reincarnation would work. probably need alot of PP and a high PL to get what I'm looking for XD
but thats okay, maybe her powers could be a gradual transformation sort of thing O.o

Many of the system mechanics have already started to be put up within the rules and powers sub-forum and will continue to over the following week until finished.
