[QUOTE="Vanifae, post: 3972819, member: 58765"] [b]Zero Divide[/b] This is a low powered M & M, Power Level 5 with some restrictions on powers that are available. Flight, Teleport, and other super travel powers are off limits, increased running and jumping is allowable. All heroes have a biological origin, or you could even consider them mutants. Each character is a blank slate, they have no current memory though they do speak the current language, and will know certain things based on some background choices I will provide for them from a pool of possible “backgrounds”. So yes the characters begin life with amnesia, sort of a cliché start, but one that I think will be enjoyable as the story progresses. The characters are between the apparent ages of 17 to 22, they are all young adults. I leave any physical details to the individual player, but they should look human meaning permanent transformation powers, i.e. ice man or rock woman, are not going to work, but if you want to elemental powers by all means go ahead. I will need only two to three players though five or six would be perfect. But I can make do with less. The game will be heavy on the role-playing but also have action, I will try for cool set pieces and meaningful action. 6 points will be reserved for skills, 1 will be spent from your background/memories.

[i]The number behind the particular background/memory track is the maximum amount we can have in the group, i.e. Soldier (3) means no more then 3 soldier types.[/i] Make sure to note which background you are choosing. Outside of the 5 reserve points for skills, and then one point used by the background/memory path you can spend up to 5 more points on skills of your choice. The details of the actual story are vague because well that is part of the fun. [b]Starting Points:[/b] 75* [b]System:[/b] M&M Second Edition, Core Book only.
