@Drake Baku I'm gonna be honest with you; I don't want to accept him. You already have one extremely powerful (the most powerful) character that I am already a bit iffy about, but I allow out of the goodness of my heart. If I accepted this guy, too, you'd have the two most powerful characters in the game and I just don't want that. I can't give you any good explaination as to why, but it just rubs on me the wrong way. You also have two characters who are able to "shut off their emotions", which is not only an extremely difficult thing to do and usually only happen with the help of some kind of psychosis, lots and lots of drugs or a serious alcohol intake, but also something that would make them into what we in daily speak would call "Super Soldiers".
I have to make opponents for the Resistance to face that can match the level of those they have to fight. Usually, I'd make the antagonists as strong as the strongest protagonist and if I were to do that, only your characters would stand a chance since they are far ahead from the others, power-wise.
If you were to fix him, I'd say the only way to do so IMO is to lose the "Kill Switch" to his emotions and the second power (Electrokinesis).
However, as I attempt to be a fair and just GM, I ask the other players their opinions. This goes for any sheet, really. If any of you have an issue with anything (including my own characters, of course) don't hesitate to let me know. If you don't want the other players to know, you can stay anonymous by shooting me a PM instead and I'll take care of it.

Well, I hate to pile on, but since you've asked for our collective opinion I will offer mine.
The character (drake) is most definitely overpowered. The CS says he only has one real power, but then goes on and on about his different powers. Shapeshifting into a dragon, accelerated healing, fire, lightning, etc. It's just way too much, especially when you compare it to the rest of the player chars who have very simple abilities. Second, the only REAL downside to all his power is that he must remain emotionless, which I can understand your reasoning behind but it makes for a really boring character to interact with. Lastly, your writing ability (and please understand I am simply stating my objective observation, this is not a personal attack) doesn't seem well honed, which means you probably lack the skill to somehow MAKE this character interesting to interact with, let alone two whom are similar.
If anyone disagrees, please explain where I am wrong, but this is the way I see it. My advise would be to reduce the power, get rid of the emotionless concept and start from there. Perhaps in time he could unintentionally use some bigger ability because he let his emotions get away from him, then you have an interesting struggle of him trying to regain control over himself without losing what makes him human.
I really hesitate to throw in my two cents here, since I think the GM and Shanks have said it all. *Peace*
But since they haven't said: I feel like this RP is not a fight based story. Your characters are something I'd expect to find in an Arena story. But here we're focused more on the daily struggles of the individual and how they plan to overcome to the Technopath. Not how powerful they are in a throw down. Or at least that's what I'm getting. And with your characters being so emotionally detached, and dare I say stunted, you have to heavily rely on what they can do power wise, not what they can feel and express. Which limits what your characters can or cannot do in a certain situation and very much makes them one-dimensional. And to be honest, except for the power set, Drake and Blade read like the same person
And lastly, I'm not doing this out of spite. I think you put a lot of thought into your characters, I just don't think they're the right fit for the story as they are. I do think with some tailoring they can fit right in.

well this kinda sucks, I respect your honesty of everyone here though but yeah.. Drake was my first well thought out character and Blade was made based on my self
for his kill switch, well lets say if you go though a live where people either wish you never disappeared or would just die, it leaves a mark but that was something I could always drop
but for his generator power...
seeing how you all feel they are both too much... and seeing my writing matters are a problem in this group, perhaps its better if I just step out of this one completely
@Drake Baku Although that was not the result I wanted, I will respect your decision. I wish you luck in your current and future endeavors. Maybe our paths will cross again.
@The Mad Hatterwhy did you like that one post of mine with Blade's family?
It was an accident. I'm on my phone and I was attempting to scroll, but hit the "like" button.
well not that I think it will matter but I have rpéd with both chars at various settings, Drake, even with repressing his emotions was still able to interact with people easily Blade is a bit more oriented to being a hero but he also has a family and when there is nothing to do he also lives a normal live
so while it may not have looked like it, they both can work with such a matter
@Drake Baku Although that was not the result I wanted, I will respect your decision. I wish you luck in your current and future endeavors. Maybe our paths will cross again.
@Drake Baku I didn't mean for that post to support the opinion that Drake and Blade could not be played in such an environment, regardless of whether or not my opinion is or is not the same, but to affirm Blue Demon's assessment of the situation.
remove Drake keep Blade and his family (BUT WITHOUT the kill switch) but then I may make his 2 kids more active his wife will stay at HQ no matter what
for now I have moved the CS to a backup section of mine But I will place a copy of the powers for his son his daughter I have to make still but somehow I fear you guys will have problems with it though its pretty weak against the crusaders
Personality: Danyou is a natural born genius, he is a thinker and tends to remain calm, he loves to work on machines and computers and aims to work as an scientist with a machine based specialty. He is brave and and quick thinking.
Biography: At a young age Danyou proved to have a remarkable high IQ, then at the age of 6 did he started to realize his powers. He looked up to Drake due to the similarity of their powers, together with his IQ he quickly understood what his powers are and what they can do. He was the one that found out about the city and reported it to his parents.
Powers: Mutant level: beta with the ability to become an Alpha
Genetic Alteration; Dragon Morph Power level
The ability to transform any body part into a dragon counter part. His dragon parts are fixed to his genetic structure meaning he only has 1 dragon body, limiting his powers to a fixed set. He can change any part of his body and grow other parts that belong to his dragon shape. He can change up to 4 parts at once at the current level of control
His dragon parts grant the possible following traits (IF he changes the corresponding body parts) -Super strength (to the level of spiderman, this is throughout the body giving various uses based on what and how he uses it) -claws -increased durability of the skin and bones -increased senses -ability to fly using his wings -sturdier head (with horns) for head butting -A strong tail -fire breathing -increased blood clothing when wounded (this is not a rapid healing, just a prevention of bleeding out) -immunity or resistance to the elements such as wind and fire due to the skin.
Weaknesses of this power: -This power gains most of its power from impulses, Danyou being a thinker lacks the impulses to master the power at this age. If he ever gets into the right mindset he could make a full body morph. -While he can turn into a dragon, his size will not be effected, he will always stay the same size, though his weight be be changed.
Pyrokinetic: Fire breathing
The ability to breath flames. Danyou can use this power without Morphing for some reason.
Skills: -close range combat -armed (sword and staff) -unarmed (self made martial arts) -ingenuity about how to use his powers -able to shut off his emotions to get serious REMOVED but stated so you know its gone
Powers: Mutant level: Alpha lvl Power list:
Blade is one of the few that has 2 separate powers, though some think its just two paths of a single power called Physical energy manipulation.
Physical energy manipulation; Aura manipulation. Power level: between Beta and Alpha class.
The ability to shape and solidify the users own live energy, also called aura. There are many types of aura manipulation, due to this Blade has started to call his one the; Free guided style. In general regard he is free to shape his aura in any way he likes, from claws and swords to armor and such but he is limited to range more then any other aura manipulation power. His range is pretty much directly to his body, the only way he can increase the range is by having something he can guide the aura though and even then there are limits and rules.: -There is a size limit that if he tries to guide his aura over something that go's beyond the limit, the entire attempt will fail and nothing will happen, this also counts for matters that by first glance are not big but possess a much larger length, though with these the aura will travel past it until it reaches the limit which was force it back and give Blade a backlash of forcing his own live energy to almost exit his body. -Even if the aura is guided, when it reaches the end of the guided object it keeps its original length outside the guided material, meaning the aura can only be extended by the size of the guided object. -if the guided object is equal to the normal limit then it cannot extend past the guided object.
Using this power he can create wings by guiding it though the blue bands that are fitted to his shoulders, these wings will not let him fly as it lacks the mass to carry him into the sky but the wings do allow him to glide. It will be hard to explain all the aura's abilities and shapes due to its limit being Blade himself, how he uses it, what he can think of and the limits of his body.
This abilities also allows the user to sense other people's aura's, useful for feeling living creatures no matter the reason and knowing what some people are feeling and if people are telling the truth. The more familiar he is with an aura the better his ability to sense them from longer ranges and knowing if they are alright.
Weaknesses of this power: -Originally aura manipulation is a high defense power, but this one has likely the least density and durability then all other aura manipulations -Other aura manipulations also tends to have special traits, which this one lacks. -The limit and rules of shaping it around the users body limit its options a lot -Making custom swords and claws will never have the same sharpness as a real claw or sword of the same type and build. -Aura sense is a passive power that can not be deactivated, as a result it can be very overwhelming if there are too many people near by, especially if they all have powerful emotions. -Aura wings possess a weakness where if something happens to the clothing where the blue bands a are connected to, the wing will be forcefully broken which has 2 problems; the wing will be broken and the glide will be aborted, the aura that was still in the band will be broken away from Blade's body, it will recover in time but until that happened Blade will lose quite some energy and mental focus as that it causes a backlash -if he gets a aura backlash he will receive a blow to his mind, he will stay awake but he wont be able to move and has no strength mentally for a while.
For the next power I will split it into multiple segments to give a much better explanation to each trait.
Electrokinetic; Generator charge Power level: Alpha class.
The ability to absorb electrical power into the users body as if he was a live generator or battery. This is base segment of this power. The power can be released from the users hands in electrical arcs and bolts, the stronger the bolt the more electrical energy it uses. Or just cover the electricity over his sword. This power makes him immune to electrical attacks.
There is a limit to how much he can charge, though it has never been measured in numbers.
Generator charge; Bio path
The ability to use the stored electrical energy to enhanced the users bio-electrical impulses. (for those that dont know: Bio-electrical impulses are the pulses the brain sends and receives throughout the body, Blade is able to subconsciously control these pulses with his power to enhance them whenever he wants to use any of the following traits) Using this ability Blade can increase the 4 basics of the human body: speed, strength, agility and healing, the way each react to the charge is different: -Agility is the most basic, it has no level, as soon as its enhanced which he subconsciously does as soon as he starts to use this power or do certain movements, it will go straight to the maximum limit it can do, this is because the body can be either agile or not agile with this power, there are no steps in between. -Strength is a simple path to enhance, the more he tries to use his strength the more his muscles get enhanced, yet as he stops using his strength it resets, better yet is in combat if he gets hit his brain tries to balance out the fight by increasing his strength to match his opponent BUT it has a limit, at beast you could compare him to a basic Spiderman, he can singlehandedly lift a normal car but it will be heavy regardless. -Speed is the one he has the most control over and is the one power he uses the most, as long as he can run in a single line he can reach up from 0 to 100KL in just 3 small steps, but he can also move slower. He cannot make turns unless he slows down to 30 at most, but by using a sudden burst of agility mid-step he can make a instant turn during this run, something like L turning from point blank, the angle he can turn is limited to a V turn. -Healing is a passive skill, though he can switch this off if he think its needed, the body uses the stored up the electrical energy to increase the healing rate of his body, this can leave scars though that depends on the wound.
All these traits uses electrical energy and the 3 enhancements of the body traits damage the muscles as it go's past what a human should be able to, due to this the healing enhancement will be working throughout any of the 3 uses, draining more power, if the power gets too low he will start to slow or weaken in a rapid manner. He will have to choose from there on, get weaker for a short healthy burst, stop enhancing his body and save some power for healing or anything else or go all risk, enhance his body for a final full out burst but pay a heavy price of muscle damage and even risk his live (as the heart if also a muscle)
This trait also allows Blade to cover himself with a small electrical cloak, when he hits someone by any means, even a body bash, then the electric cloak will effect the targets own bio-electrical pulses, showing down the pulses between that body parts and the brain, more contact with that body part means the part in matter will become fully paralyzed for a few minutes (yes its effect is short) When effected the body part will feel like its asleep.
Generator Charge; Mental hacking
This ability allows Blade to control electrical devices by touching them directly with his skin, useful to control a electric powered machine even if he cant reach the controls or has any idea how to use it, he controls the machine just as if it is a part of his own body. Also he can hack computers by sending his consciousness directly into it, bypassing many security settings, once inside he can find and pretty much do everything he wants with its files (unless it has a special encryption that he cant break open off course), he can even use all systems attached to the computer, for example if its attached to security camera's then he can use those as his new set of eyes. Also if he has the right means (lets say a walky talky) he can try and hack into different signals such as a police radio, though this is often a matter of trial and error with luck.
If an electrical device is directly connected to the power grid, then he can even use these traits without having to have any power inside of himself.
Generator charge; transmutation
Finally we have his last 2 traits of this power. Firstly we Blade can jump into electrical systems and electric guiding materials such as metal bars. Doing this he can either take direct control of it, though it will overload the systems, hide in it or use it as a means of transportation. If he jumps into an electrical system where very high power is running though (lets say a subway power grid) he can even exit fully charged
The last can only be done if he is Fully charged, if he has used even the slightest amount of power the chance this power fails to activate rises severely. He can transform all his atoms and cloths into a being made of pure electrical energy for a short time. During this he will be immune to many small physical attacks, including bullets, as that attacking him with your bare hands will deliver a shock to the attacker. Interestingly he can still use his aura power during this with its original rules and limits, but it will instead change his body, using this combination to make his wings (as the bands still exist but made of electrical energy) he can actually fly due to the lack of weight and static electrical energy in the air normally. Also he can still draw his sword, though its made of electrical energy as well during this. This gives some nice special tricks as changing it to a whip when mixing it with his aura power. However he can only use this power for 5 to 10 minutes, the more aura manipulation, sword tricks and normal electrical attacks he uses, the shorter his time in this shape becomes. Once he changes back, including changing back right after taking the shape on to start with, he will be completely drain of his electrical powers
Weaknesses of this power: -Nearly all uses of this power depend solely on if he has absorbed any electricity and if so how much, limiting its uses and posing risks in other situations -He can not use any powers, not even Aura manipulation when he is charging up, leaving him wide open. -Even if fully charged the electrical bolts he can release can not kill a person under normal situations, not so much a weakness but its a limitation. -Because the bio-enhancements work on a subconscious level, he can at times accidentally activate it, draining his power for nothing. -If his power gets low he has to choose how to use the bio powers which can be very dangerous in various ways, especially if he starts to slow down and wont get the chance to act on it. -Turns during a bio-enhanced dash are limited in angle as that its hard to see, but otherwise he cant do any high speed turns. -Using bio-enhancements while healing is turned off could be fatal to his heart but also damages the rest of his muscles which even when fully recharged can take days before its healed -Due to the healing passive nature it can be easy to miscalculate the remaining power. -When sending his mind into a computer he leaves his body behind defenselessly. -With his ability to travel though electric guiding materials, he has to focus on the static echo around the material to know where he is, if you can predict where he will jump out from,it is easy to set up an ambush. -He has to watch out when jumping into pluming pipes, making sure he jumps into the pipe and not the water, if water go's into a straight path its fine but once it becomes a large amount Blade's electrical form will be scattered and he has to focus and fight to recollect himself and instantly return to human shape, this will leave him electrically drained and exhausted to the point that he has to rest for a few hours.
@Drake Baku Let me start by saying that I am really struggling to find the right words here and remain as objective as I possibly can.
I do fear that your writing capabilities may become an issue, mostly because I fear that what you write may not be perceived how you meant for it to be perceived. Also, with the fact that you have a whole family of characters that you seem to plan to play, I'm afraid that you might accidentially self-interact too much for this type of RP. You state that his wife will stay on HQ all the time, but most of the play will take place exactly there.
As for the actual character... This power alone;
This ability allows Blade to control electrical devices by touching them directly with his skin, useful to control a electric powered machine even if he cant reach the controls or has any idea how to use it, he controls the machine just as if it is a part of his own body.
is very similar to what the Technopath, our Big Bad Boss Guy, does. I could explain, but it would reveal too much information.
He has "two" (since he technically has more, but I'll just keep it simple) powers that are both very powerful on their own and are of very different natures.
so basically the hacking path is a problem well just on that note i can return it to just hacking computers with his mind by letting his consciousness leave his body
but that wont solve all other problems did not think the aura power would be that powerful my self but I can understand that you have an other opinion
it was a final try but I guess it was just useless to begin with
btw I do have to say that IC my writing may be different, explanations of powers and histories as not my strong suite I can say I can give you a link to one of the rp's I am currently in, you can see for your self how that is but that would be kinda imposing and I can understand how people often dont want to do that as we all have other stuff to do as well and even then it only solves 2 points and keeps the rest as a mess so....
I will likely keep this OOC open for a while, read up if there are any post directed or about me or if I see anything else I may get to help with but after a while and nothing like that happens I will close it (on my lap I have a tab open for each section of threads I am currently involved with)
Just realized I had forgotten to list a weakness of blade his hacking power segment he can only hack 1 thing at a time and if its not fotted to the power grid it will cost his own amount
@Drake BakuIf you don't mind me saying so, I might have another way for you to look at things.
I personally see no problems with your character OTHER than your power set. I think the GM feels the same way. If you look at the other accepted characters powers (not mine, because she has none). You'll notice they can do one thing. Their power can be described in one/two paragraphs. Yet yours has caviates, exceptions, and quite a lot you can do.
If you were to limit and say, take the most of Blade's power away and leave him with one core ability, your character would probably pass. (I'm not the GM so I cannot guarantee this.)
Blade is one of the few that has 2 separate powers, though some think its just two paths of a single power called Physical energy manipulation.
*This actually isn't that OP of a power by itself. With a little work it can be a good, well rounded power.*
Physical energy manipulation; Aura manipulation. Power level: between Beta and Alpha class.

*This power is very, very much OP. With this you'd be able to take down the Technopath single handed in probably a couple of hours. Which wouldn't make for a good story*

Weaknesses of this power: -Nearly all uses of this power depend solely on if he has absorbed any electricity and if so how much, limiting its uses and posing risks in other situations -He can not use any powers, not even Aura manipulation when he is charging up, leaving him wide open. -Even if fully charged the electrical bolts he can release can not kill a person under normal situations, not so much a weakness but its a limitation. -Because the bio-enhancements work on a subconscious level, he can at times accidentally activate it, draining his power for nothing. -If his power gets low he has to choose how to use the bio powers which can be very dangerous in various ways, especially if he starts to slow down and wont get the chance to act on it. -Turns during a bio-enhanced dash are limited in angle as that its hard to see, but otherwise he cant do any high speed turns. -Using bio-enhancements while healing is turned off could be fatal to his heart but also damages the rest of his muscles which even when fully recharged can take days before its healed -Due to the healing passive nature it can be easy to miscalculate the remaining power. -When sending his mind into a computer he leaves his body behind defenselessly. -With his ability to travel though electric guiding materials, he has to focus on the static echo around the material to know where he is, if you can predict where he will jump out from,it is easy to set up an ambush. -He has to watch out when jumping into pluming pipes, making sure he jumps into the pipe and not the water, if water go's into a straight path its fine but once it becomes a large amount Blade's electrical form will be scattered and he has to focus and fight to recollect himself and instantly return to human shape, this will leave him electrically drained and exhausted to the point that he has to rest for a few hours.
Maybe you should try something like
Aura Manipulation. He can change the aura around him to either be defensive or offensive. His Aura isn't visible and therefore harder to defend against when used offensively. For example he if changed the aura around his hands to claws, you wouldn't know until you started bleeding from the scratches. This would require mental focus.
Enhanced abilities. Blade is faster/ quicker/whatever because of his mutation. It's not dependent upon electricity.
Absorbing electricity wouldn't be handy in the city because there's not enough of it to go around. Your character would be spending most of his time taking away precious electricity from things like hospitals, water processing plants, etc. Unless you're stealing it from the Crusaders. Which would make your character target #1 and that probably wouldn't go well. You'd never be able to go back to HQ and would be constantly hunted. I also wouldn't recommend another tech focused character because there are quite a few that anymore would probably overbalance us. Also, if you wanted, we could take this to PMs and I could give more ideas there. Just remember, power doesn't make the man. Cutting down on what your characters can do doesn't necessarily change the character itself.
@The Mad Hatter Glad Kat's been approved :) As far as her being part of the Resistance I'm not really sure yet. What I had in mind was for her to help them out on occassion, with things like offering a place to stay for a couple of days and food of course. People living in her community often go to her to have their fortunes told, receiving important information about their lives and possible futures. I don't see how that could be of much use to the resitance though.
Aside from that, I have missed a lot but I agree with what has been said by the GM and the other players. There isn't anything I want to add.
I also think it would be good to establish some friendly (or not) relationships between our characters so we'll have a solid cast. With relationships I mean anything from acquaintances to lovers. I'm open to anything really so shoot me some ideas ^.^
