Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jemal" data-source="post: 4421624" data-attributes="member: 9026">Shayuri/Bialaska - Truthfully, I preferred Shayuri's proposed shapeshifter to Bialaska's, if I had to choose one.    I'm not too fond of the 'terminator' take.I actually didn't see any real problem with Bi's first take on the 'metal suit'... since it wasn't permanent, it's no more of a noticeable hindrance than someone who shoots lightning bolts from his hands. (The problem I had with WD's original 'crystal man' was that it seemed to be a permanent thing).  So long as it can be turned on/off, it's hideable and not that much more noticeable.It also had an easy Drawback - Normal Identity, which I liked.The ONLY problem I had with your first take on Daisy was the Speed. (Just as a note, unless your character's supposed to be a speedster I'd prefer staying away from multiple ranks of speed.)Relique - Looks mechanically sound and fairly straight forward.  One question though is the action required to call forth your powers.  Drawing or Writing usually takes time.  I assume then that you'll want to make a few pre-mades to keep with you?  Alternately, you may wish to take Quickness(Limited: Drawing/painting)... though not TOO much quickness. (It's not a drawback if you can paint a masterpiece in half a second)H4H - I like the concept, the write-in of the hover-board, and the general idea behind the character.  Two problems though: A: it sounds like he's had his 'rush' power for a while, or at least it's been building for a while.  The powers are all supposed to have suddenly come out of nowhere within the last month, not been developing for some time.B: The descriptions of your 'powers' are very scientific and my brain can't wrap my head around what exactly you're planning on doing with them all 'game wise'.  What It sounds like to me is: Enhanced Strength, Enhanced Constitution, immune to fatigue/pain, Regeneration, Immune to Mind Effects, Attractive Feat, and Flight (From hover board).  The only one I have a problem with is the Mental Protection one.  Care to elabourate on what you meant by it?Shalimar - Interesting concept, feel free to flesh it out, I think an "i can do whatever I see" character could be an interesting counter-weight to Shayuri's "I can become whatever I touch" character.Shaggy - It specifically states that power loss when loosing device is NOT a drawback, b/c that's PART of the device themselves (That's why they give more points than they cost).  What I would suggest is that instead of buying the sword as a Device, you buy your abilities normally, and then use the sword as a 'focus', taking the 'normal identity' drawback for whenever you do not have the sword (Basically wielding the sword 'transforms' you into King Arthur, A'la HE-Man).  Then you could use your points on stuff like Enhanced Strength/con, Protection(Maybe it summons magical'armour'), Strike, Leadership abilities, etc... Thoughts?Mal - Perhaps Daredevil was a bad example, I was merely trying to give an example of a super-hero with a disability.  Perhaps Professor Xavier's Weelchair would be more appropriate..The purpose of the Major Drawbacks is that everybody who develops a power will have some sort of Achiles Heel.  Be it a major disability (Either before or because of their power), or not having powers all the time (Normal Identity), or something that affects them greatly (Weakness/Vulnerability, either due to their powers or something else).ALLRIGHT, Recruitment is closed.  Lets see what we've got...List of players followed by character concept.Rellique - Edgar (Artist)Hero4Hire - Overdrive (Self-Adrenal Boosts)Bialaska - Daisy-Lyn (Metal girl)?Shayuri - Facade (Shape-shifter)? *Unless you've changed your mind*Shalimar - Carly Pope (Reflex Memory)ShaggySpellsword - King Arthur(Nuff Said)WalkingDad - Iceman(Cold Control)APassingManiac - Jack Sullivan(Fire Control)Mal Malenkirk - Jean Van Den Abel(Telekinetic)Reveile - PULLED OUT (Sorry to hear)So that leaves us with... a whopping 9 characters.  I don't think I want that many, so lets see what we can do.  OK, I want Overdrive and King Arthur.  Those two stand out the most to me.  I'm also seeing some good pairings.. Jack & Jean (Fire & Ice), Facade & Carly (Mimic's), Carly & Edgar (Both artists)...I'm gonna go Overdrive, King Arthur, and 4 more characters, but I'll need a little more character info before I can decide.  Need to figure out what's happening with Bialaksa & Shayuri's characters, I'd like some more info on WalkingDad's Ice-man, etc.</blockquote>
