[i]Definitely[/i] interested. 

I'd prefer to play female, if possible. My male characters tend to be very awkwardly written, and I don't want to use this RP to practice writing better males. It's got too much epic potential for that. XD

As for "useless" abilities, this may take some brainstorming. Would some sort of twist on [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arclight_%28comics%29#Powers_and_abilities]Arclight's[/url] power be doable? I'm thinking shockwaves, which could be devastating, but with no real ability to target specific objects. They just project outward and hit anything that happens to be in their path. The randomness of the attack would possibly make it pretty useless.
