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.

One of them dies with your horn stab. You see your body reverting to its human form. (you only have 20 energy left)
The thug laughs as he sees that you are only human, though he is too tired and hurt to attack you.
Mac rips off the dead thug's arms and beats the other thug with the dead body's arms. The thug's body is bloody, beaten, and hopeless.
"Burn them," yells Mac. Throwing the arms on the ground and getting on the car.

Name: Josh Mahad Age: 15 Two Superpowers: Hydrokinesis- The control of and creation of water. However, he can only move so much water before it starts draining his lifeforce. He has found that the more he uses it the less concentration it takes. Earth Dancer- Whenever Josh is in contact with the ground, he can allow the earth to swallow him up and move him somewhere else. He has a small amount of control over where he goes. (Skin has to be touching dirt, sand, or some other natural surface.) Physical Description: Josh is 5'9", he has darker skin as a result of being born in the Middle East, but was always considered weird there because of his dark blue eyebrows. He has shaggy black hair on the other part of his head though. He has no scars, and no facial hair either. He's pretty thinly built, but muscular, weighing in at 140 pounds. Bio: Fakeed Mahad was born in Yemen 15 years ago. He was an accident, so his parents kept him until he was 6, as is customary, then threw him on the streets. He learned quick what skills he needed to survive on the streets but was eventually exiled from the city as a beggar. He was facing death from dehydration in the deserts, and was inches from death when an ancestral spirit appeared and showed him how to draw water from the desert and move to a different part of the desert when there was nothing left where he was. He eventually moved to America, where he adopted a new first name to stand out a little less.
