As a result of collaborative effort, this RPG was made...
You wake up one morning and find out you have superpowers. You don't know whether you should brag about them or keep them to yourself. After all, you're the only one around that has a superpower. There is a high crime rate in the city, so you know that superpowers could help the crime rate lower. You could also join the criminals and fight for power.
CHARACTER SHEET
Name: [obvious] Age: [don't be an idiot; however powerful, four-year-olds cannot control their powers well enough to participate effectively] Two Superpowers: [must be specific enough not to be overpowered] Physical Description: [at least 4 sentences] Bio: [At least 5 sentences, optional] Skills: [up to 3 skills, such as training or leadership] Attacks: n/a -------------------------------- Inventory: n/a Followers: n/a Groups/Alliances/Cults: n/a -------------------------------- LEVEL: 1 EXP: [0/100] Health: 0/100 [self explanatory; total increases by 50 each level up] Energy: 0/100 [amount left for powers; total increases by 50 each level up] -------------------------------- Fame: 0 [how well known you are] Good: 0 [how much people like you] Evil: 0 [how much people dislike you] --------------------------------
====== RULES: ====== 1) You may not choose a superpower that is too powerful, as determined by the GM. 2) You may not choose any omniscient superpowers, no matter how watered-down, as they always cause issues later when you are a complete generalist and can handle any situation. 3) Do not god-mod other characters, though you may lightly control NPC's. Yes, you will all interact in some time, since you all live in the city of Metroville. 4) No insta-kills when having a multiplayer fight. In the case of a multiplayer fight, the first one to post is the attack the other person must respond to.

Cool. I take the pistol and money, and search the cop for ammo. I decide to leave the convict there for now. Maybe he'll end up useful. "I'm going to give you a free break and let you live. For now. Know any easy places to rob around here?"

"Anything is easy to rob with you, but let's hit the bank." says the man. "My name is Jake Roberts, but call me Mac around the cops."

"Nice to meet you, Jake." I look for the keys to the handcuffs and free Jake, then we drive to the bank.

"Just call me Mac..."
You manage to find the keys and free Mac, then head to the bank. Other police cars follow, assuming that there is trouble at the bank, again. By the time you reach the bank, there is a squad of cars surrounding the bank. "Tommy, we've got you surrounded. Don't try anything this time." Yells out an officer through a megaphone.

"Tommy... he must be a regular robber. He's must be pretty low on the ranks, since I don't know him."
The police officers surround the bank, and a man in dark clothing jumps down from the roof. "You'll never catch me alive, coppers!" yells the man.

(Lol, this sounds so stereotypical.)
"Then how about we have some fun?" I step out of the car, shapeshift, and try to throw a fireball at the gas tank of each police cruiser. (Except my own, of course.)

You manage to instantly explode about half of the cars. The rest were set on fire and exploded eventually. The officers shoot you, but no damage is taken. Would you like to chase down Tommy for the money (and for the lulz), or would you like to kill the officers?

Heck yes for Tommy. I run and try to chase him, but as I leave, I try to Jinx a few cops.

You Jinx the cops, allowing them to shoot each other by accident. You follow Tommy. He turns around, with surprise and fear in his eyes. "Please, allow me to live another week. Do not come to take my soul!!! Please!! HAVE MERCY ON ME!!! TAKE MY MONEY!!!!! LET ME LIVE!!!!!!!" he yells, believing that you are the Devil.

"Don't worry, Tommy. Souls aren't my department. Lives, however, are." I claw him through his neck, and look through his money.

He falls dead. You find that there was nothing in his "Bag of Money". Tommy's last words were... "The Devil took ma money... Funny thing is... I had no money..." he dies laughing. You see a fire come over him, out of your control. Another demon comes up, and says "So, you thought you could kill me, eh?" You get punched by the demon. "Tommy's got a bag full o' tricks up his sleeve."

"What are you?" I throw a fireball at him, and run him through with my horns.

Your fireball does no damage, though your horns do a little.
