You might want some allies to man your guns. You can't personally control those Dedicated Controls.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Argh. I'll figure it out tomorrow.

[Angle]

Also, if anyone wants to play a mage or a devisor, mages use RPM with the additional rule that you can trade Magery for energy at a ratio of 25 energy per character point. You can do this with a part of a level of magery, in which case the rest if of no use to you until you buy back up to the full level. Devisors (Or schimmelhorn engineers, if you're not a mutant) use these rules, with the added caveat that they can permanently buy a evise by paying ether money or character points for it.

[My Name is Immaterial]

I'm getting back into this. I'm probably going to drop the tank.

[Angle]

Sure. If anyone wants to try out random mutant powers, I've been making a table.

[My Name is Immaterial]

That sounds fucking awesome. I was thinking about doing some sort of guy focusing on the modular skills, but that sounds far cooler.

[Angle]

Alright. How random do you want it to be? You have 450 Points plus 50 points in disadvantages. You want to put 300 points in superpowers? I could probably give you a bit of a discount, cause they'll be random.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Sounds good. Thanks!

[Angle]

Aright, I'll give you 400 points in completely random mutant superpowers for 300 points, leaving you with 150 plus 50 points in disadvantages for the rest of your character.

[Angle]

For your Random Mutant Powers, you get:

Spoiler: Wizard, 150 points (click to show/hide)

All advantages have -5% Mutant Power Modifier, because they can be copied by power Mimics and suppressed by some Reality Warpers.
Magery (Ritual Path) level 0 [5]
Natural Caster 1 (Gives +1 to Thaumatology and all path skills) [15]
Control Magic 1 (Very Common) [24]
Control Magic 1 (Very Common, Does Not increase Area (-50%)) [12]
Energy Reserve (Magic) 23 [66]
Improved Path Caps 4 [4]
Regeneration (Regular, Mana Only: Recover 10% of your mana every hour.) [24]

This is for ritual path magic. You have an automatic +1 to all skills for it, and have a nice large ER you ca draw from and that will automatically refill. You have +4 to your magery for the purpose of path caps. You also have control magic, which allows you to give anyone you're touching (including yourself +2/-2 to energy gather rolls or +1/-1 to path skills for all purposes. If you had three or more levels, you could change the greater effects modifier by +1/-1 per three levels. You can spend the rest of your points on additional levels of control, additional levels of magery, Additional levels of natural caster, up to 4, increasing your regeneration, or path skills and thaumatology. You could also get Ritual Adept.

Spoiler: Power Mimic, 150 Points (click to show/hide)

These advantages don't have the mutant powers, because the advantages they copy do, and that would be double dipping. Also because Power Mimics don't usually have to worry about Power Mimics.
Modular Abilities (Power Mimic: Trait Limited, Mutant Powers Only (-30%), Maximum Duration: 10 Minutes (-50%), Mental and Physical (+100%), Must Copy Nearby Powers (-40%), Must Make Skin to Skin Contact With Target (-35%), Requires Skill Roll: IQ/Hard (-10%), Cannot Control What is Stolen (-10%), Sum: -75%) 2 Points Base + 1 per level, two slots: 70 Points+ 71 Points [145]
Power Mimic Talent 1 [5]

You can copy other Mutants power by touching them. They do not lose any powers, you only gain the affected power for 10 Minutes, and you cannot choose which of their powers you will steal. If you copy powers worth more than the poit total of your Modular Abilities, you will receive a scaled down version. You do not gain any skill for the abilities. Your talent gives a bonus to your Power Mimic Skill, and to all rolls to use the abilities you steal. You may purchase additional levels of Talent, additional slots and/or levels of Modular Abilities (Power Mimic), and you may buy off most of the limitations from your Modular Abilities (Power Mimic). If you wish, you may also purchase skill for any power you think common enough to warrant it.

Spoiler: Exemplar, 100 Points (click to show/hide)

Appearance, Attractive [4]
Combat Reflexes [15]
Fit [5]
Increased Dexterity 1 [20]
Increased Health 2 [20]
Increased Strength 3 [30]
Sanitized Metabolism [1]
Rapid Healing [5]
Taboo Trait: Decreased Appearance [-]
Taboo Trait: Decreased DX, HT, or ST [-]

You have significantly increased physical capabilities. You can buy any of these up even higher, if you wish. You may also buy up to ten levels of DR with the Tough Skin Limitation, and/or High Pain Tolerance, Regeneration, or other advantages that would represent extraordinary human qualities.

Hmm. You could do a lot with that, depending on what kind of character you want to make. The main advice I'd give you is to buy some innate attack skills. They'll help you hit with offensive spells, and will also be useful if you copy any abilities with innate attacks. Oh, and also take Social Stigma (Minority Group) for being a mutant.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Sorry it took me so long to respond. Yesterday was busy, and when I went to post this, the internet was having a fit, so I went to bed. Then, this morning, it took me forever to get to work, which is where I'm posting this from.

My current idea is to be an escaped test subject of a super villain, who was experimenting with mutant powers. Due to a history of drug abuse or depression (maybe both), and no close friends or family, he made the perfect target. I'm planning on not getting any supernatural or exotic advantages for at least one adventure, since he's only recently escaped, and hasn't had time to develop his skills. I may, however, invest some points into gear stolen from the super villain.

I'm a little unclear about what you mean when you say:

You can spend the rest of your points on additional levels of control, additional levels of magery, or path skills and thaumatology.

I've calcuated it to come to only 141 points (Not including the -5%), so do I spend the change like that?

[Angle]

Sorry, I forgot to include the price of the regeneration. aftr that it should equal 150 points. You can spend the rest of your characte points on the things it lists, if you so choose.

What conditions would he have escaped under? Is the Supervillian chasing him?

[My Name is Immaterial]

Ah, okay. Thanks.

I'm not sure of the exact conditions, but I am planning on taking Enemy, so yes, he is being pursued.

[Angle]

Alright, that works. Do you know where you want this to take place? Is he i America, or somewhere else? There's a chunk of the Caribbean that a Supervillian has managed to claim for himself, and he rents the occasional island out to other Supervillians.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Hmm. I'm currently thinking that he would have stolen some money and gadgets, and disappeared into the underworld. The Caribbean would be a cool setting for that.
