fuck sakes... I just wrote a whole character sheet and it got deleted...
Edit: @Prince of Seraphs I'll rewrite it later on. I need to go and exert my anger of losing two paragraphs of background that I cannot replicate... But the ability was Fear manipulation, which can be found here: powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Fear_Manip... This is so I can maybe reserve the power.
I'm a little bit wary of someone have that type of power. Could you give me some more information? Specifically about weaknesses and limitations cause I really don't want to end up RPing with this guy:
I added in some weaknesses, is it better now? I understand that gravity manipulation can get insane, but so can pretty much any elemental and energy manipulation power.

That's better, I'm still a little wary of the ability but we'll see how things go.

I'm not sure that that is such a good idea. Fear Manipulation is essentially a Vs power. It is geared towards effecting other humans and unlike other mental abilities like telepathy is specifically geared towards incapacitating or killing others depending on its use. This becomes a general problem when because this RP is more or less free roam the metas in our group could turn on each other. Should some sort of battle between our characters commence someone with that ability would have an overwhelming advantage. If you want to rewrite your sheet and post it I'll take a look but I feel I should warn you that I'm not convinced this is an ability anyone should be allowed to have. I'll take into account how it defined in your sheet though.

Since I cannot remember my background, making a new character with a new ability is perfectly fine with me.
Oh, whoops! It looks like I'm kinda the only one without any details on the extent of my character's powers! Should I go back and fix that?
Also, @Prince of Seraphs if you'd like a co-GM, I'm willing to help out. Although this is a new account, I have experience in GMing somewhat successfully. @Solita could probably vouch for me. Just so you know ^^
And oh yeah, definitely! Mizu/Undine would be perfect for the job! ... Also pssst, @Undine, should I call you Undine now?
An ion is an atom that that has more or less electrons that protons. This is essentially plasma. It's uses include:
Create/generate/increase, absorb, shape and manipulate ions, including fire, electricity, light and plasma Density Manipulation/Solidification via controlling ions. Ionikinetic Constructs, including weapons, walls, armor or allies/servants. Ion Attacks Ionic Vision Electromagnetic Manipulation, by altering the charges of atoms they can create electromagnetic fields. Move/lift ions at nearly any speed whether in/on a surface, air or water. One could even do this in a vacuum of space if one has a way to survive the experience. Elemental Flight using ions. Matter Surfing using ions.
Downsides: The creation of ions is a slow process, as it requires the use of nuclear fission to remove the sub-atomic particles. Sometimes, most notably before battle, he creates ions around is IAF (Involuntary Ability Field) which act like a power buffer so that he doesn't have to create the ions until he has used up the pre existing ones.
Nationality: English
Bio: Jackson was a failure, in school and socially. He has friends, of course, but he would always get into fights and failed his tests. Despite getting into these fights, he would always win, since the challenger would always be inexplicably knocked out after a single blow. He earned respect and eventually started competing in underground fights for money. After this he began learning to fight better and better, and eventually became a well renowned fighter in both the underground and under 13's fighting competitions. One day though a fighter came around that was unlike the others. He had a strange get up and what looked like a deck of playing cards. The battle commenced, and the single punch (which was a statically charged punch) didn't work, and his hand was cut open by one of the playing cards. Jackson just about one, by burning the the cards with plasma. At that point, the authorities were called and both Jackson and the challenger were arrested.
For 4 years Jackson spent being transferred from facility to facility and owner to owner; life was almost not worth living... Almost. He kept his upbeat attitude and that helped him keep going through the hardships. On multiple occasions, he was almost killed by the organisation for his constant resentment and trouble making tendencies. He was transferred into the Center after the 4 years and spent another 3 months there. He grew a reputation and became a notorious leader of a prison faction named "Soul". After the explosion, he escaped with his friends in hope to create a new life without worry - but also to create an underground fighting faction so they could live well and not on the streets (If you want our characters to be friends, let me know. Just a thought).
Personality: Jackson is almost always upbeat and positive, but if a situation becomes too negative he tends to become sad and secluded and sometimes suicidal. This can mostly be seen due to his depression when things get rough, but this is when his power comes into its greatest.
Heyo, I'm traveling right now so I'm on mobile, but in around six hours I'll be able to post a character. My idea for a power is Pain Manipulation. Well, really, the idea is nerve manipulation where she can numb or intensify nerves when she touches that nerve. (She has to touch the nerve through skin in order to make it work) so while she can create pain, she can usually only do one spot on the body. However, if this is too powerful, I can come up with something else.

Dude, I respect your creativity (honestly I'm surprised most people aren't going for stock abilities like telekinesis or similar) being able quantify all that under one label does not make it a single power.
Each of those separate uses could be classified as its own ability not least of which mine, Density Manipulation. I used a different scientific explanation but it is essential the same end result. The character looks really interesting but I'm going to have to ask you to tone it down a bit. Pick one ability.
Also why was your character fighting Gambit?

I have my reservations about that but I was actually in another hero RP that had a guy with pain manipulation and he pulled it off rather masterfully so post the CS and I'll see how it looks.

I understand that, but there is one part of that which I disagree with. Technically they are all one power, since they ALL use the same basic principle; manipulating ions. I can pick on (i think) but technically they are all one power unified under a simple principle.
Also, I didn't even know Gambit was a thing. I just took another one of the kinetic abilities and used it. The power was manipulating how sharp an object is, and I thought it was cool.
That list was actually meant to be the uses of the power, since they are all applications of it.

what Prince is trying to say is that he's ridiculously op. Seriously he can manipulate electricity, density, fire, plasma Electromagnetism and create Constructs. One of those abilities can be incredibly powerful alone.

I can quantify all of Superman's powers under one header of source doesn't make them all the same power just cause they have the same root. Similarly Telekinesis and Telepathy are not the same even though they are closely related. While I can say that yes all those powers have the same source it doesn't matter all that much as they're applications spread out far too vastly.
In the first line you've listed: Create/generate/increase, absorb, shape and manipulate ions, including fire, electricity, light and plasma. This is already four distinct powers, pyrokinesis, electrokinesis, lumokinesis and plasma. Then we have density, energy weapons, magnetic manipulation, telekinesis and flight. No matter what you choose to call it that is far too much power for a single RPer to have. If you'd like to choose a single one of these attributes I'd be more than willing to let you have it but you can't have all of them. I like your character a lot but he can't have all of these abilities.
@Prince of Seraphs My application may have slipped your mind, so I'm gently reminding you of it and waiting for a hopefully positive response.
Sorry I neglected you, yes your character is in. Let's say that he has the same limitations as Clair before she stopped being able to feel pain. Sound fair?
Oh, whoops! It looks like I'm kinda the only one without any details on the extent of my character's powers! Should I go back and fix that?
You're ability is less specialized than everyone else's (nothing wrong with that) it's more common in tv shows and comics so most people are familiar with it. A lot like my character's ability I just like writing details in. If you want to put some more information the most crucial thing would be the limits of her control but if you don't want to I think we have a good idea of what her power can do.
Okay, so there was a delay in my trip, so I got here really late. I'll try to get a CS up tomorrow, but no promises. But, I'll go ahead and give the outlines of her power; its not much detail since there isn't much to it.
NERVE MANIPULATION Power: To stimulate nerves negatively or positively (there is no middle ground) Limits: her hand must touch a part of the skin in order to aggravate the nerves and she can only aggravate the nerves she comes to contact with; she can either create a searing pain in that one area or numb it completely. She typically only uses it in regards to herself in order to numb the pain of a wound to escape or create pain in order to trigger her adrenaline; its easy to evade her if another's power is long range
@Prince of Seraphs what, exactly, is wrong with anime pictures? It's not like they make a big impact on the rp.
I can't adequately relate there appearance to anything in reality. I'll have all the characters in my mind which are solid and real and then this one brightly colored anime character cause I can't picture them in a real situation. I more or less ruins my mind's view of that character and could effect the way I treat that character just subconsciously.
