Click the Random Page Button three times. Those Super Powers are your powers. OR, alternately, you can can just choose random Super powers you want to have. I will allow most powers, as long as they are not overly strong. As for what's Overly strong .. . no omnipotents or omniscients. Or even omnipresents.

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Superpower_Wiki

So what powers are yours?
--
IF you want to be Omnipotent. You can't. Not if you're participating in a role play.

An Alternate Universe, 2012, December 21st

On that day, thousands of people across the world had awoken to find themselves. . . different some how. Oh, people like them had always been around, but not quite as many of them suddenly ever just popped up and found themselves . . . CHANGED. Some went mad with power. Others chose to excersize that power with grace and courage for the good of the weak or for serving Mankind.

Many have suffered for their new strength. Some have found peace and comfort in it. Others have chosen to harm others and rule overs not out of madness, but out of an evil mind and thirst for more. Greed, lust, passions of the flesh, and ambition. Whatever the cause of our strange new neighbors, the truth is, that they are with us. We must live with them, they must live with us. In peace. It is the only way.
-
This is a Superhero role play something like my failed God's role play that cropped up not to long ago. However, although the cause of your new powers as players might well be supernatural, some of it may be scientific and mutagenic in nature.

Use the Super Power Wiki and look for a new found power to choose from. If you find an obviously very strong power, such as Strong Force manipulation or even higher level powers, please PM me so we may discuss your possession of it. However, you are free in the meantime to simply post your requested Power from the Wiki in the Interest Check/Finding Players.

Please note, no one will have Omnipotence or even Ni-Omnipotence, and I would prefer that you choose as Strong OR as Weak powers as would make you happy and fulfill the image of your character concept.

The Plot will have religious overtones but will not be an attempt to convert others and will not be an attempt to disparage any belief.

Okay, so I clicked on the random page 3 times and got:

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Ionic_Manipulation
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Hell-Fire_Infusion
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Restoration_Embodiment

I'm thinking this works for a "sorcerer/magic" type super heroine. 

Interested

Accepted, to the above. :)
Hmmm...

Okay, guys, I rolled:

ProtogenoiPhysiology
The Protogenoi named Aether.
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Protogenoi_Physiology


Powers include Aether, Air Manipulation and Light Manipulation:
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Aether_Manipulation

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Air_Manipulation

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Light_Manipulation

PrimordialDragonPhysiology:
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Primordial_Dragon_Physiology

I rolled only twice, and intend to only roll twice, since I got such lucky rolls. 

Also, I will be looking for a Co-GM, or possibly a full GM to take this on. I realize some people here are uncomfortable with GM players. . . I will role play this as a player if I can find a GM to take it on. If I can't, I will simply GM it without my delicious rolls. :(

Chaeronea

I probably won't be playing in this game due to other commitments, but when I checked the linked website I couldn't help but press the Random Page button. And here's what I ended up with....

Inugami Physiology

Formulated Blasts

Ocular Techniques

Ouch.


Interested

Yeah... I wouldn't want to play the soul of a tortured dog either. lol

Ack Arg



No way, you could use dog form to drop by people in the desert and say "dude, I'm your spirit animal, you ate too mch pizza and now you're on a vision quest. If you want to know the deep mysteries of the an ient ones, gimme five bucks."

That's actually pretty fun, the three random pages as powers thing I mean. I might steal that routine from you.

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Water_Generation
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Slime_Manipulation
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Satellite_Generation

Ha! Cool, looks like I'm "colonize-new-planets man."
Returning after long... long hiatus. May be slow to find a rhythm.

Originality is fast becoming obsolete, to make a trully unique world all your own is the mark of a great writer, artist, thinker.

This made me laugh. If this character doesn't get created somehow in some RP, I'mma be sad.

EDIT: Caught my interest mainly because of the random generations, which I think is a great idea (albeit one taken on trust), but I'm not sure if I can commit to this game alongside what else I'm doing.

However, for the lulz, and in case I CAN commit, here are my rolls -

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Invulnerability
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Telepathic_Speaking
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Penguin_Physiology

That's right y'all! The sage telepath invincible penguin! If he could be part of this (and he wouldn't be overpowered because invulnerability doesn't also mean super strength) he'd have a good case to be second in command in a team, giving his teammates instructions mid-battle via telepathy. Of course, they would have to not mind the fact that he looks like a goddamn penguin.

I rolled.....
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Reactive_Adaptation
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Strong_Force_Manipulation
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Speed_Combat

I'd rather understand if you want me to drop one of the three, especially since the first two are....potent.

On another noteRidiculously badass!

You only need to drop Reactive Adaptation. I'm already quite powerful as it is with Aether Manipulation as a Protogenoi.

Also, Ramuil, you can re-roll Penguin physiology for something more serious if you like. You are only stuck on your rolls if the rolls are silly, for instance, if you are stuck as a woman, or as "Human physiology" which you already have, or a completely negative power, for instance, the Power to always be Wrong. . .

If, you have a weak power, like retractible claws or something, then you are stuck. :) But, I have special plans for those who are boned in the power department. If you come up with all weak rolls, then I have some special compensation ready.

Serenitey

Not sure if I am too late here or not, but here is the three I got.

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Olden_Visayan_Deity_Physiology
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Hellhound_Physiology
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Subatomic_Manipulation

Not sure, but the first two seem more like a character template instead of powers. The idea is really neat though.

By the way guys, WHO WANTS TO BE GM OR CO-GM? ;)

If people keep getting powerful rolls, I'm going to make my third and final roll for my last power. lol

Choose one Visayan Deity. Bare in mind you can't have someone who is Omnipotent.

Serenitey

I suppose Siginarugan would thematically align with the Hellhound Physiology.

Siginarugan
Hell Lordship
Personal Domain
Underworld Lordship

Interested

Kay-oh, everyone's accepted. :)
I will make a genuine character sheet soon.:)

MaiMizzu

When I get home I can post more. Just wantef to express interest
Powers I got are:
Zodiac physiology
Copper manipulation
Metal breath
The definition of a hero, at least in my mind, is someone who can protect what is right. To change and stop the wrong. To fight against the forces that seek to destroy you. And, at the very least ... live life well, and enjoy it with those you love.

MaiMizzu, which ZOdiac are you using? I recommend the Chinese Zodiac. ^-^

Top Cat

Sounds interesting. Let's see what I come up with.

Parasite Physiology
Inodorosity
Strong Force Manipulation

Since the last doesn't mesh well with the first two, and has the potential to be nigh-omnipotent if handled competently, I'm rerolling that to:

Life Force Manipulation

By these powers combined, I am Conduit! I am able to draw life force from myself and others, and use it to heal or harm at range via energy bolts. With enough time in contact with someone, I could draw out their entire life force, killing them, but that takes some time, and I have to maintain physical contact while draining others. In conjunction with a teammate who can regenerate or heal at superior rates, I could be unstoppable! Muahahahahaha... cough cough Sorry.
O/O / Story Seeds
Current posting speed: Slow to moderate. Most threads should get a response within 24 hours, with occasional dips as RL makes demands.
If I am more than a week behind on a story post, please feel free to PM me about it.
I am present in Elliquiy's Discord channel. If you want to chat about a story idea, feel free to DM me there.

"Damn kids doing work. Back in my day we worked 18 hours a day and still had time for 12 hours of fun before a solid 8 hours of sleep in 24 hours".

Interested

You can drop Echinoderm physiology if you like. Or if not, it's pretty neat to have some of it's abilities. lol

Ebb

This is a fun creative exercise, Interested. I don't have time to join a new game right now, but I'm still tempted to roll up characters using this system just for fun, and to see if I can come up with plausible links between powers. Would you rather I (and maybe others who might want the same thing) keep that out of this thread, so it's clear to you who's actually applying for the game? We could start a different thread over in Off-Topic or something if you don't want this one littered.

MaiMizzu

I think I'll use chinese zodiac. I mean the power is my character turns into one of the animals, right?

Yeah, I dont really want to be a clam...

I did another random search, and got this:

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Electrokinetic_Creature_Creation

I think I'll replace the clam thing with this. And I have a question: Should I replace the Speed Clones power too, since I dont have super speed? Or should I just presume I have super speed by default and can therefor use the clones?
"Damn kids doing work. Back in my day we worked 18 hours a day and still had time for 12 hours of fun before a solid 8 hours of sleep in 24 hours".

MaiMizzu

Shouldn't the object of this be you use what powers you get at random, not what you pick and choose?

Both of you are correct, actually. I will allow her to re-roll one more time since she doesn't have super speed, but you are actually correct to, you don't just re-roll until you get something you like.

Aye, you're right. My dislike for that creepy-ass Zommari has blinded my creative vision. I apologize. Please forgive my selfishness.

I'll replace the speed with the Electronic Creature Creation then.

Anyone reading this who just wants to play around with making characters without cluttering Interested's game thread, please come on over to The League of Justification.


Blythe

I'm going to tentatively sound interest in this, although until I see a character sheet template and what type of posts you're looking for, I'm on the fence.

What type of duties would be required of a co-GM?

The powers I got seem to be well-themed with one another, so I'm definitely going to keep checking back here to see where this RP is headed:

Duties? Well, PM me if I'm inactive. You can take partial control of the role play if you see me missing out important parts, you can do something about it. Also, sometimes you might want to take control of the role play if I'm absent and can't post.

I'll have to think about it a bit. If I decide to bite on this, I'll shoot you a PM.

So help me out with this...
the last two powers are simple, I got those figured out.
But I need help with zodiac physiology.
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Zodiac_Physiology
User with this ability either is or can transform into any or certain Astrological Zodiac signs.
So does this mean my character turns into each of the zodiac animals? I'm using the chinese zodiac, by the way. Or does it mean she gets the attributes listed along with those animals? Like
QuoteHorse: Horse, Fire, Healing[/i]
When she took on this zodiac sign, she gains healing abilities? Like maybe she can have 1 sign active at a time? Or is it simple transformation ito the animals?
Opinions and guidance would be very helpful..

You have the powers of the Chinese Zodiac. . . or the other, if you prefer. :) That will allow you to tap into all of those powers.:)

If you choose the Chinese ZOdiac, which I encourage you to do, you can use all dragon and other animal, elemental and other wise kidn of powers you want.

MaiMizzu

So your answer to my questions is 'yes'?
You dont think that's to many powers? Liek i said, if this is the case, my character would only be able to access one power at a time.

I swear my RP posts are always more detailed than what I have here. I just wanted to get something in place.



Name: Zoe Thewes
Age: 17
Appearance:
Gender: Female
Personality: Zoe always tries to do what is best for everyone, but sometimes that ends up backfiring. Ever since she was little, she was convinced she had to take the lead of any situation. Even when it wasn’t appropriate. This makes her obnoxious at times, and she’s very stubborn. Sometimes she can be gruff and rough edged, but she is always very caring and tender towards her friends.
Biography: Zoe was born to a farming family in Ohio. Her childhood was normal enough, nothing out of the ordinary. She was always very bashful in school, often keeping to herself in most situations. She enjoyed living and working on their family’s small farm. She had one little brother, who was killed a number of years ago. Her father recently passed away from cancer. Her mother no longer wished to live on their farm, so she sold it. Zoe left Ohio, and has been travelling ever since. She has discovered only a few of the powers she has, making no connections as to what they entail or why she has them at all.
Other: Her powersets are:
Zodiac Physiology, Copper Manipulation and Metal Breath
The definition of a hero, at least in my mind, is someone who can protect what is right. To change and stop the wrong. To fight against the forces that seek to destroy you. And, at the very least ... live life well, and enjoy it with those you love.

I'm afraid I need to bow out, I'm involved in too much I'm afraid.


AribethAmkiir

Not really sure about this game.  The idea of picking powers randomly and creating a character from that was great; however, that creates a game without much balance in it.  Many of the players have attempted to police themselves, but there are a few characters that appear ridiculously overpowered, at least on paper.  Not sure if there's an easy remedy to this or not, or if Interested even thinks it's an issue.

Oh it's an issue alright. Don't worry, I have a back up plan to make the game just as fun for the "weaklings" as it is for the powerful.

Still hovering and being non-commital (sorry) but also not running away just yet. Might wait to see what happens in my other interest thread and fresh new game first.

Anyone who rolls low powered abilities rather than hugely powerful ones, have something like a headquarters, lairs, servant NPC's, and resources.

Hmmm I hope more people are interested, besides me of course.

Been working for a week on trying to scale back my character's background, Interested, but this is the best I could do. Let me know if you want to chop it back further. Also, when I get the time I'm going to go into the powersets in a bit more detail.


Name: Dylan Forrester
Age: 18
Appearance: 
Gender: male
Personality: Dylan acts taciturn and withdrawn, appearing somewhat surly due to his past experiences. As a result he places a high value on keeping his word and sticking to his morals, and has respect for those who do the same. He does not find it easy to open up to others, but finds it a lot easier than a few years ago, and once he does he will stick by them through thick and thin. Although he grew up in a rough environment he has a strong sense of morals, although he is fairly harsh when it comes to upholding them. In his younger days Dylan tended to use his fists as his first option, but since his adoption and continued counselling has eased that tendency, making a conscious effort to avoid fighting. If diplomacy fails, however, he will wade in without hesitation.

Biography: Abandoned by his mother at birth, Dylan spent his childhood living in one of the rougher areas of Detroit with his father. While his father worked long hours at a construction job Dylan studied what he could at school and learned martial arts to defend himself at school since his father wouldn't let him carry a gun or a knife like many of his fellow students. This situation continued until shortly after Dylan's twelfth birthday when his father was killed in a work accident. Rather than go to an orphanage Dylan began living on the streets, fighting to protect himself and also to make money to live on in illegal fights. Not long after he turned sixteen Dylan ended up in hospital with burns and smoke inhalation after rescuing several homeless people from an abandoned warehouse that had caught fire. A records check by the hospital revealed Dylan;s status as a homeless orphan and Family Services became involved, much to his displeasure.

Life in an orphanage wasn't as bad as Dylan had feared from the horror stories he had heard, but it still took some getting used to. Coupled with his issues over the death of his father Dylan was sent to a youth counsellor who ended up adopting him. Ironically it turned out that life with the counsellor and her family was one of the best things that happened to him. For the next two years Dylan lived a relatively normal life, going to high school, catching up on his missed education and basically enjoying being part of a family. He was still attending counselling sessions on a regular basis and was feeling as though finally things were going well for him - until the night of The Change.

Although he didn't know it at the time (and still doesn't) an inugami spirit took up residence within Dylan on the night of The Change. The next morning he woke up hungrier, thirstier and angrier than he had ever been before, and it was only his strength of will and the closeness he felt towards his fellow family members kept him from doing something violent. As the days pass Dylan is more and more aware that he is stronger, faster and tougher than he ever has been before but he is worried about the price. And as more powers and abilities surface even as his dreams turn more violent and angry, Dylan wonders what is really happening to him - and just how long he can keep from losing his mind...

Other: Dylan's powersets are Inugami Physiology, Formulated Blasts and Ocular Techniques.
