This is what I'm thinking on powers. Internal Shadow Protection 3 (caps his toughness at PL) 3pp Regeneration: Recovery rate +6 (always makes recovery checks when his Con bonus is factored in) *Flawed: requires sunlight. 3pp Bruised recovery every round without rest. 3pp Unconscious recovery...

*rimshot* :)

Fair point. He has no combat training, so I'd be doing it through feats but that's reasonable. I'm looking at having him rely on Protection and Regeneration to handle damage but yeah, he should probably have something. It's capped, actually. I'm not sure what I was thinking. I filled in that...

Stats for Jared, first draft Baseline: PL: 6 (80 pp) ABILITIES: STR: 14 (+2) DEX: 14 (+2) CON: 16 (+3) INT: 10 (0) WIS: 10 (0) CHA: 16 (+3) (total in abilities: 20/40) SKILLS: Acrobatics 4 (+6) (I took this to represent his surfing, since it seemed the closest to Balance) Bluff 2 (+5)...

Flavor text for Shadowy Guy, first draft All the non-rules stuff. Vitals: Jerry Lin, aka Lin Tao, aka Jerry Rowcroft Male Australian citizen of Chinese descent Birth Name: Jared “Jerry” Tao Lin Legal Name: Jared Rowcroft Tao Lin Age: 15 (DOB: 9-28-1996) Height: 5’10” Weight: 130 lbs. (down ten...

I'm ok with, even kind of welcome someone who's racist out of ignorance. It's a nice flaw and could work well with our multi-ethnic group. My PC's going to be a Chinese Australian, so you'll definitely have some non-European misconception bait. :)

I don't know about Agamon's GL, but Toki gave me a good laugh when he referred to the King of the UK as Charles I, the guy Parliament deprived of a head. :)

That works well. I can think of lots of excuses for somebody to teleport or manifest TK. Yeah, but I don't want to pile exception on exception too much. It's a good compromise. If he's a first-generation or second-generation Australian it explains well why he doesn't have a big extended...

Ok. Are there any commonalities to the powers-getting events? I know you said trauma isn't necessarily, but is some form of it typical? The origin story is something I'd like to hammer down even if I don't get the rest figured out. Even if it needn't be all durm und strang, he's been through a...

Agamon, I'm definitely doing the shadow guy if it helps you prepare any. Still struggling with the details of his concept and which powers will be involved. Some thinking in draft form below. Male Australian, 15 or 16. No present psychological issues related to his powers. I'll probably give...

I liked off-screen vignettes. They're especially good as codas to close a story, open a new one, or pass some downtime.

"Good God, is Bugs Bunny cutting off that man's ear?!" "Daddy, why is Ronald McDonald lighting that little girl's hair on fire?" "Mommy! Elmo's tickling that boy with BIG knives!" I'm a bad person. :)

Character-wise, I'm aiming for a PC that's still carrying some issues. There's just not as grievous a set of issues as Mark's. I guess I'm shooting for a guy who walks into school presenting as normal, but in retrospect Mark managed that most of the time too. His dark, twisted past stayed mostly...

Well yes but I have a strong proclivity to angst regardless and I'd rather give him something resembling a reason than just making him whiny.

Heh. Part of what I'm struggling with is that I want to have some potential for inner conflict and angst without necessarily going full-bore right out the gate.

I figured. The last GL story I read was the Sinestro Corps War. The average GL story doesn't do a lot for me, especially since comic space stories always feel a bit too episodic. Maybe if I were heavily steeped in DC space history it would be different. It's awesome. I'm not a big Avengers nut...

Nonsense. You could turn anybody's shirt red.

It's a Green Lantern killer. "My God, he turned me yellow and I'm flying through space. My life support just vanished and how am I even talking when I'm already dead!" ... Yeah ok, I know. They just need to confront fear to defeat the yellow impurity now, although with Parallax stuck inside...

I don't know. If we had a healer that could trivially resurrect others, sure. The psychological trauma of healing from death could be an interesting thing, though. Especially if you've seen others die. That kind of ability might cheapen your sacrifice, since you know you're just taking a nap...

My guy will probably have some regen that shall improve over time, but it's very unlikely to be the defining aspect of the character.
