Might be up for this :) will need to think up a character, or would I be needing to play someone already there?
Gingerbread Coffin said
Oh, wow. Is there any more room? & if so, do you have CS format in mind?
Gingerbread Coffin said
That's fine. Think I can handle slow better than I can handle fast.
Zagan said
one question, what do you class as 'omega powers'?
Assallya said
Oh goodness. When I get home I'll cut and paste the old system from the nineties. Don't use the new system. In the new system everyone is an omega!

Let's just say, in the old version, anyone with the power to destroy humanity is "Omega". This included Ice Man because he could, with time and effort, bring about an ice age. Cyclops is an omega... because he could eventually blow up the world by shooting down at the Earth's core which means generally, ALL energy projectors and telekinetics are Omegas... which makes no sense. Hence... the original... 1990's scale. It was written by one of the comic author's at the time and published in the back of one of the comics... In it he was trying to collect why there were both a number system (Class 3 mutants?) and Greek letters. (Alpha, Omega... etc)Tier 1: Mutant has no combative abilities above human normal.Tier 2: Mutant can be subdued through use of police or standard infantryTier 3: Specialized Forces required to take the mutant downTier 4: Use of full military assets or sentinels to take target downTier 5: Nearly Unstoppable. The Juggernaut or the HulkAlpha Mutants: The most powerful and most feared mutants. Alpha mutants have extremely powerful mutant traits without any significant flaws. Less than 10% of mutants are Alpha mutants so they are very rare. Some of the Alpha mutants include Gambit, Professor X, Colossus, and Emma Frost. Classify Mutants as Alpha level if they have a normal human appearance and their mutation is powerful, useful and controllable (i.e. turn it on and off, direct it at will.)Beta Mutants: As far as how potent their powers are Beta Mutants are on the same level as Alpha mutants. The difference between Beta Mutants and Alpha Mutants is that the Beta Mutants have flaws, albeit very small flaws. The Beta mutants are also believed to be about 10% of the mutant population. Some examples of Beta mutants are Wolverine, Mystique and Sabretooth. Classify mutants as Beta Level if they have a normal human appearance and their mutation is powerful, useful, but less controllable, like Cyclops who can't turn his power off, but can still lead a normal life with only minor preparation. Wolverine, who has healing powers, can't ever decide NOT to rapidly heal from an injury, but this does not impair him in any reasonable way.Gamma Mutants: Very powerful but with flaws; Unlike the Beta mutants a Gamma mutant's flaw is a major flaw that makes their life very hard. The best example is probably Rogue. Rogue can absorb a mutant's power which makes her very powerful, but she can't touch people without triggering her power, which makes any kind of romantic life difficult. Also, while Alpha and Beta mutants can pass as regular looking humans, many Gamma mutants cannot because they have physical deformities like Blob or Marrow. Classify mutants as Gamma Level if their mutation is powerful, uncontrollable, sometimes useful but usually detrimental to living a normal life, such as a monstrously inhuman appearance that can't be switched off at will.Delta Mutants: Delta Mutants are like Alpha mutants in that they don't have any significant flaws. The only problem is that Delta mutants don't have powers that match an Alpha mutant, or even a Beta or Gamma mutant. At least 50% of mutants are Delta mutants making them the most common type of mutant. Some examples of Delta mutants are Forge, Domino and Callisto. Classify mutants as Delta-Level if they have a normal human appearance, but their mutagenic powers are weaker or only narrowly applicable, though still controllable.Epsilon-Delta Mutants: Epsilon-Delta Mutants are mutants that don't always manifest their power. An Epsilon-Delta's power will only manifest in certain circumstances and they don't use their powers very often. Their powers may manifest due to trauma, influence from somebody or somebody else or physical contact with someone. Classify mutants as Episilon-Delta Level if they have a normal human appearance and their mutation is relatively weak, uncontrollable, and narrowly applicable.Epsilon Mutants: Epsilon Mutants are unfortunate mutants. Epsilon mutants pretty much have no chance of having a regular life in society due to their major flaws. If that isn't bad enough Epsilon mutants also only have minor superhuman powers. About 20% of mutants are Epsilon Mutants. A good example of an Epsilon mutant is Beak. Classify mutants as Episilon Level if they have an inhuman appearance or their mutation makes it impossible for them to function normally. Any accompanying "superpowers" would be next to useless. Epsilon mutants are differentiated from Gamma mutants in that a Gamma mutant's inhuman appearance would provide a compensating benefit like superior strength.Zeta mutants: Zetas are not mutants that have powers like the X-Men and other mutants. Zeta mutants are simply humans that have defects. So Zeta mutants would include humans that people would refer to as "circus freaks". Classify mutants as Zeta-Level if they're ugly humans with hideous birth defects.Omega mutants: Omega mutants are the most powerful class of mutants. Omega mutants can control matter and energy, have unlimited potential and are possibly even immortal. All Omega mutants are also Alpha mutants but not all Alpha mutants are Omega mutants. For example Jean Grey is an Alpha mutant because of her power and lack of flaws and is also an Omega mutant because of how powerful she is. Gambit on the other hand falls under Alpha mutant for the same reasons but isn't powerful enough to be an Omega mutant. Only classify mutants as Omega Level if they have been explicitly referenced as Omega Level within continuity or if they regularly match the feats of a known Omega Level mutant. Thus, X-23 is an Alpha 3. Generally, awesome powers, looks completely normal (if you don't count that creepy angry stare she's giving me for using her as an example), and you need specialized special forces to take her down and heaven help them if she finds them before they find her!Phoenix, of course, is an Omega 5. Cyclops is a Beta 4 mainly because he can knock down a city block in one blast if he wished but you really only need special forces to take him down. Etc.

Name: John FreemanAge: 17Apperance: http://s984.photobucket.com/user/Ellevana/media/256Male/Mizaradazi_zpscaf2765e.jpg.htmlPower:Terra-Kenisis (Earth manipulation) – as the name implies, its like telekenisis, but he is only able to move and manipulate the earth, create beings and control them like puppets or simple things like being able to get around faster,The second part of his power is a physical mutation which is slowly turning his entire body to earth/stone (skeleton becomes stone, everything else becomes earth)Personality: While not the most social person to have ever existed, John is what he would describe as an observer, a slight outsider of the social scene standing on the borders of being an outsider. He is able to get what he needs from anyone, being able to guess accurately what would need to be said in order to provoke a certain reaction or to gain co-operation from the person he is talking to, but over all society would label him antisocial but over all a nice person, never really using his skills for malicious purposes; as this goes against his ethics of being a pacifist. History:Childhood to Preteen:Apart from living in fear of the mutant outbreaks – John had much the normal childhood, he was picked on a lot for not being a mutant in a population that has a large percentage of mutant kids about the city, and so learnt to keep attention away from himself, yet through all this he did experience the normal things in life, girlfriends, hobbies, family outings.Teen to current (including getting his powers)As he hit his teens, he moved up to high school. He had seen the information about the new teachers and the extra security measures to protect the students, both mutant and non mutant alike – and this relieved not only himself, but his parents as well; even though they (John’s parents) claimed to be liberal – there deepest darkest fear was that John would be a mutant – his grandfather (his dad’s dad) had been a mutant and they worried the X gene could be passed down, although they never talked about it with John in the house, they both prepared for the worse....It was a week before Johns 17th Birthday and he was walking home from school when he got jumped by three mutants in senior year, they didn’t say what for – something happened, the guys who jumped him woke up in the hospital a year later, John meanwhile limped home – only to see in the reflection that something was different, not human – was this a gift or curse? What would his parents think? As he opened the door, he was met with two very angry and frightened adults with make shift weapons – the fight was short and brutal, his father leading the charge – and paying the price, his mother sank to the floor and passed out, taking the chance – to flee, but making sure to keep on at the school while trying to survive when schools out.... it was due to this that he came to hate violence and believed that life is better lived walking a more peaceful pathIm guessing this guy would be an omega then? :P
