Hey, which power level is it? It says 10-12, but well, which one?
I'll just assume 10 for now, since I can always add more points later.

Power level 10.

This is still gonna happen, right?

Just waiting for Yoink's acidic snot guy,

[Yoink]

Wait, crap, everyone's waiting on me?! Don't worry, won't take long to do this. Then it's just a matter of how I do it wrong.

[Riccto]

Dont worry! I feel like I messed up also, I focused too much on the coolness of the rings and didnt save enough points for important stuff like skills.

[Yoink]

I'm not quite up to this part yet, but if my power has the obvious penalty of only working with a runny nose, would that save points to spend on making it more powerful?

[Time Blossom]

Ah, am I not allowed by virtue of a full roster, then, or was I simply overlooked?

Anyway, I'm about to be running a game for the next six hours or so, but I can have a character sheet up soon afterwards if I can still be included. Sorry for not getting one up sooner, I've just been tossing some ideas back and forth as to what sort of things a dirty, dirty spy should be able to do in a low-magic, relatively-low-tech setting. Although given the Ghostbuster, Imperial Terminator and Acid-Sneezer, maybe I was taking the latter part of that sentence too much to heart. :p

For what it's worth, the big thing I've settled on is super-movement that only applies to vehicles, to represent over-the-top stunt-driving... or stunt-conducting. Apart from that, it's mostly spy-oriented stuff, like immunity to interaction skills, master-of-disguise-ness and so forth.

Anyway, later, all!

[Yoink]

Well, I'm pretty much done... I did stats, powers and feats, just need to do skills and I guess equipment.
Fun fact: I have 86 points left, thanks to all the flaws I added to my powers... Let's just say the party might need a good supply of handkerchiefs. Or that it might be prudent to just lock my guy in a bubble or something.

[Time Blossom]

Done! I think I've moved from spy to secret agent territory here, but I guess that's okay. I'm not combat-heavy, but in the likely event that we get into a scuffle, I should be able to do more than sit in a corner and watch the car. (Although that might be a better option anyway. :p)

I'm a Spy (5 pp)
Immunity 5 (Interaction Skills)

Master of Disguise (5 pp)
Morph 5 (Humanoids)
--Move Action: -1/rank (So he's exceptionally good at quick-and-dirty disguises, but he's not instantly shapeshifting or anything silly like that.)

I see what you did there. (6 pp)
Super-Senses (Danger Sense (Hearing), Direction Sense, Distance Sense, Analytical Sight, Acute Taste, Analytical Taste)
--Note: "Analytical" senses are from the Ultimate Power book; they're essentially one step up from Acute. For this sort of setting, it's more or less Sherlock Holmes level, I think.

Now you're speaking my language. (6 pp)
Comprehend 3
--Speak, read and understand any language (I think he's just well-studied, and has a knack for picking up languages, rather than being anything supernatural)

--Affects Others (only) +0/rank

[Vester]

Foreigner filth! D:

Any other backstories/backgrounds that still need to be fleshed out?

[Yoink]

Well, is this idea okay?

Well, I think I'll be playing a nervous, distant young relative of the Lord Mayor, who happens to sneeze acid.
He's been sent out by his family, no doubt disapproving of his unmanliness, to help solve [insert crime/mission/quest the party goes on here] and ends up bumping into the other PCs as they go about their business, and decides tagging along could make his job easier.
Any good?

[Riccto]

Backstory?

A low level cat-burglar who found himself best knocking over houses and cheap shops  once found a lucky break robbing a merchant ship pulling in from the Far East. Finding the first of the rings within a small locked rosewood box, The Ring of Djinn Hunter. After wearing around for awhile he realised that the ring would whisper suggestions to him, Always how to better himself and also to find the other rings, Which is what he's doing now.

[Yoink]

Oh crumbs, I was just checking over my sheet after finishing, and I realised I added the cost of my power levels rather than multiplying them! D:
Would it be okay if I just submit it as is, and someone could fix it up for me? Because I'd completely lose track of my maths if I tried to work it out now, and I've been stuffing around long enough as it is.

Edit: And it also seems I forgot the max skill levels! D'oh, I need to fix that.

[Riccto]

Personally I just used the demo version of Hero Lab. 
Makes alot of things easier.

SUMMARY

BACKGROUND
Born to a lower class family of 1st generation Thanian immigrants (though most
would call them invaders), he found it somewhat hard to make friends, due to
racial prejudices, but instead of making him reserved and isolated, this only
increased his will to make friends. As a young teenager, he would often go out
with his friends, seeking thrills, doing crazy things like jumping onto moving
trains or diving off of cliffs into the sea. It was on one such occasion that
his power first manifested – he took a running leap off of rocky-head cliff,
and found that he was headed towards a large rock. Just has he was about to
collide, he found that he was flying – he had spouted wings.

About this time, he was apprenticed to an Airship Mechanic, Davin Welles, and,
even though most now considered him a freak, eventually became a mechanic on
the airship “Sanguine”.

PERSONALITY
Enjoys being around people, telling stories and having fun. Tends to be
impulsive, and enjoys mucking around with new technology. Finds theoretical
discussions boring, but will talk at length about practical things or to tell
a story, often in a disconnected manner. Despite his spontaneity, he will
not commit the cardinal sin of leaving work unfinished.

TACTICS
Impulsively charges in without considering the situation, unless held back
physically, or has unfinished work.

Finnish being the stand-in for Thanian**

Spoiler: ** (click to show/hide)

Thane is a country to the east, which has occasionally raided the coast of Terandra, at times leaving settlers behind.
