"Initiative +44"...  nice.ShayuriI don't quite understand how you have your powers set up..you have 'elemental control' with no cost, and then each of the seperate elements listed underneath it with "+10", +1, etc beside them.  You have the same for alternate powersAre they all part of an array?  Is the +1 "1 more rank than the base array", or just 1 rank?Can you control multiple elements at a time?Are your movement powers tied into your elemental control power at all?Which element provides your shield?No Flight?  With Air control, I figured flight would be involvedEveryone, please include costs for each of your powers, and whether or not they're part of an array.Also, anybody who hasn't done so it would be appreciated if you could consolidate your 'combat stats' into some area of your sheet, to make it a little easier for me to see what you're all capable of.  (including your standard attack modes with attack bonus and save, your total defense bonus, and your final save modifiers for tough/fort/ref/will).RE: BACKGROUNDNow that there's several character sheets at least partially completed and we have an idea of what the 'cast' is going to look like, I think it's time to start working on more in depth background.As far as any of the characters are concerned, these powers are a new thing in the world.  Rumours and stories of these things happening have been going around for a couple months, but yours have cropped up just recently.  Exact length is up to you, but no more than a few weeks, and none of you have gone public yet (if any of you plan on it that is *wicked grin*)So far, there's been Two major local media cases of super-powered events :  One week ago it was discovered that a teenager in the downtown Metro area had gained the ability to rapidly grow his body, becoming a veritable giant.  A local news crew was able to capture it on film and air it before the boys 'mysterious' dissapearance and the governments insistance that it was an elaborate hoax.Two nights ago, footage was aired of a man frozen solid just outside a popular club.  The footage was taken by several people with cell-phones, who claim that another man had been seen arguing with the victim just before the incident occurred.Though it's not required, I would LIKE each character to be tied to/personally know at least one other character through your backgrounds.  And last but not least: at this point I'm taking submissions for one character who actually knows a little bit about WTF is going on.  If you think it makes sense for your character, please post an Sblock as to why (I have a tendency to not notice PMs which is why I prefer the SBlock method).</blockquote>
