Actually I don't think it would be too powerful if it is written in a non-broken way. The way I was going to write the power was that it pays a significant toll on his body (ie shreading a lung, minor stomach bleeding, or temporary blindness). I intended destruction to be a last resort, not to mention I would scale the damage with what he does. Destroy a person, take from the examples. Destroy something bigger and you might take some permanent damage. Anything bigger than a toolshed I'd say would fail.

I'm a fan of Marvel comics. Heroes have to pay dearly for the better powers. Phoenix had the same power, and she had to fight her sanity. I figured a physical toll would be more power limiting.

EDIT: You can also Omnilock key villians to avoid power abuse on my behalf.

Furtuka, would you mind if I detail your drawings (greyscale and colour)? I'll try my best to stick to the original if I do.

BAM! I just posted a villian in the game. It needed more of them anyway, and I feel somewhat proud of Wei since he seems to be what I imagine a sadistic, power hungry villain might be like. He's rich, powerful and above all, dangerous. Plus, he follows his own goals, even if they are against that of the larger number of super heroes.

For Rick, Miyako, Kine, and Zeox if you want any changes or details just either PM me or post it. Colour suggestions and clothing designs (logos, etc.) would be appreciated though not needed. Major changes are possible if requested.

If you like the drawing as is I'll just detail it. Might take a while for me to finish the pictures though. University is a time sink, and I'm still not very efficient. I'll at least have one if not more ready by the end of the week.

I'm not exactly sure how a villain is suppose to fight heroes. I suppose for those cases we might introduce RTD rolls. Would be nice to keep this simple though.

Well In terms of changes and color it might be better to ask the creators of the other characters.

For Zeox his outfit is mostly black And the markings are red

Why would we need rolls?

This is an RP game. Hell, I wasnt actually expecting anyone to GM or anything. All other RPs I have taken part in have been completely freeform.

I agree with cerapa here. Basically the two of you role-play fighting each other until someone decides to lose or give up. Or until something happens to interrupt the fight. The idea is to be creative and keep in mind which actions would affect the plot in the most entertaining way. Rolls would be somewhat opposite of the whole point of it being freefrom

Erm, I sort of made a post about something like that a little while back. . .that was likely ignored, as per the usual standard with me. . .sigh. . . EDIT: Kine wears blue jeans and a navy blue jacket/hoodie. When he is getting ready for combat, he goes shirtless. His tentacles are black and have somewhat large stingers on them. He also only has 6 tentacles, and they are just large and heavy enough to bludgeon someone to death if need be.

I'm new to the concept of freeform games. I guess taking the freeform out of the freeform isn't a good idea. In that case I'll stick to matter manipulation, because insta-killing another player is frowned upon in nearly every game. I'll add more to his story and write in an action later today.

You could always abject to using your power to casue death directly on moral reasons... this doesnt mean people wont die if you dissapear the bridge from under them by accident though...

But the ability to turn anything into something else is equally fun. Touch the ground and spikes erupt outward. Run away to higher ground, because the floor is lava, etc. I'll try and keep the harsh penalties. Nothing says awesome like fighting for your life as a hero.

I am constantly confused by the fact that there are 2 Jameses

And I never really thought about the implications of someone who can compromise every single modern communications method. I get the feeling I really dont need full on technopathy. But it really seems I dont have much to do besides screwing around.

I also find the fact that in english, every I must be a large, to be extremely odd.
