[quote=@Vordak] It would be marvelous if whoever takes charge of next month's tournament posts a required tier/power level for the participants' characters ASAP. While a lot of people here have a very diverse range of fighters, some (me included) will probably have to write a new one, so it'd be nice to have as much time as possible to polish the concepts and ideas behind them. It's just so much more better when one's abilities and powers are meant to work with each other, instead of being a mish-mash of related, but ultimately unfitting tools. [/quote] All Characters for the NoW –Rise of Darkness must fit in the following parameters for a low/mid-level powered character. Examples of low-powered: A character with a mad scientist level genius and scientific intellect. Long ranged telepathy, magical powers that do not involve a divine patron, and the ability to shoot flaming bats with magic arrows of light without the aid of that damnable fairy partner. In general, the range of ability to be expected from a Jedi Padawan of Star Wars or a Genin Ninja of Naruto—as well as the use of cybernetics, alchemy, and so on to simulate any of that. Examples of mid-level powered: The basics of nanotechnology capable of regenerating minor wounds, or alternatively wizardry or clerical ability capable of the same. You can pilot your own short-range starfighter and have access to technology so advanced as to be almost magical in nature. The ability to fly for any reason you can think of that makes any rudimentary amount of plot logic. Your character may have the reflexes and skills of an elite Jedi Knight, the speed of Saito Hajime, and the power to take down Trinity of The Matrix with ease.
