@Framing A Moose (I saw it, just didn'the reply. Not that you asked. Pretty sure you want a response, though: That'll work.)
Noon: "Evolution being what it is, I didn't think you'd all look so similar to us still. It's kind of sad we couldn't coexist. Our reports say neanderthal were nice people and could have made great allies!"
Noon's people look like humans, but with bigger eyes, and move much more freely, since their planet has a thicker atmosphere, and are frequently cold, since earth is cooler. Their eyes glow with...well...social media, since they have genetic nanofabrication abilities (hence the shapeshifting) and it seems a convenient thing to have.
Could everyone post their character sheets in the characters tab? With all the questions answered and all the additional stuffs added in later, of course. And cleaned up.
Only asking you guys to do it because they will be changing, and I trust you guys to do your own changes (until I have reason not to), as long as you say it. Feel free to change anything. I'll look them over again afterward.
As it stands, I may be splitting the group into two. I haven't quite decided how, yet. If I do.
I posted mine, but I noticed a thing I forgot to address with my playbook.
"You trust (blank) and told them an important secret of your legacy."
Who should that be? Kiante's not really an option, since in his case he's kind of a part of the family already. Besides, I used Kiante for the first Relationship option: "You once got caught breaking your legacy's rules with (blank)." I felt Kiante was more appropriate for that one. That being said... I have no idea who could fit the first option.
I need a candidate for getting hurt one time when Kiante lost control of his abilities(something that happens from time to time. Also, i'll be adding in a little thing that explains the things of what Kiante can due with his magic.
Hey everyone, this is the pseudo-mysterious person that would be joining one of the groups! The reason why I've been lurking in the shadows is because 1). there are already so many Novas and 2). I didn't want to be the tipping point that caused the group to split up, as that would be pretty selfish of me. Now that it seems like it's going in that direction anyway, I'm going to go ahead and post my character sheet here, as well as in the character tab, to see how well they meshed with the others.
Burn: When you charge up your powers, roll + conditions you currently have marked. On a hit, hold 3 Burn. On a 7-9, mark a condition. On a miss, hold 2 Burn, and mark 3 conditions.
Flares
Reality Storm: You channel a destructive burst with your powers. Spend 1 Burn to directly engage a threat using your powers, rolling + Freak instead of + Danger. If you do, you will cause unwanted collateral damage unless you spend another Burn.
Move: Spend 1 Burn to move to any place you choose within the scene, breaking through or slipping past any barriers or restraints in your way.
Overcharge: You let loose with the full torrent of your powers without restraint. Spend 1 Burn and mark a condition to take a 10+ on unleashing your powers.
Elemental Awareness: Spend 1 Burn and mark a condition to open your mind up to the world around you with your powers. You can ask any one question about the world around you, and the GM will answer honestly.
Suppose that you were a member of a race of hyper evolved creatures that were older than the universe- or at the very least THIS universe. Suppose that your people were no longer physical beings, but sapient energy, that was not only immortal, but omnipotent. Without any need to progress in any conventional sense of the word, all your people did was spend the eons answering questions no one knew existed to begin with. What if one of these creatures postulated that its fellow hyper evolved creatures were too old, too all knowing to answer any more questions? That they needed an outsider's perspective? To do so they would need to create a being, one who was not molded to their ideals nor any others. They would need to create one that was not only a blank slate, but could be exposed to thousands of conflicting ideas and paths of life, giving them a perspective that they had forgotten countless ages ago. And so one would become a human, forgoing their memories of epochs past to start anew...
John's first memories were of drowning. Panic, pain, clawing his way up from the murky depths that surrounded him; his vision fading as he heard the popping of brain cells in the back of his skull, the pain overwhelming until everything went white. His next memory would be of his entire body freezing. When he awoke, he was naked and adrift on a mile sized island made of ice with ocean in every direction. It wouldn't be long until a fishing boat would find him and take him to shore. While at first incomprehensible, John would be shuffled about between government agencies until he found his way to Halcyon City where experts were able to discern that he was speaking Akkadian. Months would pass as various officials debriefed and interrogated him but in the end, they got nowhere. It seemed that John couldn't give them any answers on where he came from and so they stuck him in the minimum security wing of the mental asylum for the super powered. It would be here where he would meet the rest of the team when one of the fellow patients lead a jailbreak. In the ensuing chaos John ended up using his powers aggressively for the first time and very nearly killed some of the escapees. When the adult heroes and other authorities showed up they wanted to jail John again, this time in super max, but thanks to the heroes arguing his case, he was let go, on the condition that his new team mates act as his parole officer, with the threat that if he steps out of line they're all in trouble. Now free, but still a non-person, John is part of the system again, moving from one homeless shelter to another.
I suspect it would probably be the fact she read his mind without him saying it was ok. Maybe she made an off-hand comment about what he was thinking and he got upset. Tempers flared up and he went overboard and she got hurt. Would also teach her to not use her powers unless there is a REALLY good reason to.
@FantasyChicThat definitely works, and 'm thinking the way he hurts her is a mental backlash. While he isn't a telepath, he does have some chaos manipulation. Once he realized what she did, his anger would probably feed into violence part of his powers, and thus would flood her mind with a bunch of images regarding the horrors and atrocities of war, both ancient and modern.
Edit: Also, nice to see you again Arcanaut. How's life?
Hello! I hope you don't mind, but I used your character for my relationships as the person I'd hang out with all the time to blow off steam. Figured you weren't used for any yet, and based on your character, I think ours would get along pretty well.
Sheesh, all you Novas and your constant hurting each other... it's a wonder they aren't all Linkin Park fans.
"CRAWLING... IN... MY SKIN!!!"
Right? Any more edginess and I'm going to have to get a new box of adhesive medical strips! That being said, John's personality is the opposite. While he isn't exactly peppy or bubbly, he seems to have child like wonder with everything, and finds it easy to not see the bad in things, if only due to sheer ignorance.

It would make sense as they both have been in the hands of (pseudo) government organizations. I'm sure your character would be interested by how open his mind is, and the staggering amounts of STEM based information that is inside it without any seeming origin. Unless she's not a fan of animals, as John spends lots of time feeding birds in the park.
