Wait, what's up with the numbers? If you've already explained this, though, just say so and I'll look for it again.

If I may ask, to lead with, what do you know about the Worm setting?
This is an AU of that, so there's actually a preexisting power system we're running on.
I can link you, so here: this has all the basics.

This certainly does explain the numbers I'd been seeing around.

I would suggest reading all of the GMs first post in the OOC and even more so looking over the listed rules which I was referring to.

As a general rule of thumb, anybody who has something around an 8 in any rating is bad news. If you're a 10+ you're more than likely on someone's hitlist or they're probably watching you closely. Anything higher than that is bordering on extinction-level stuff.

The numbers aren't about how powerful you are, but how much of a threat you are. Strangers are about hiding, so they're probably not gonna be able to level buildings with their stranger powers. How hard they are to deal with, etc. If that helps anything.

If you are talking about the profiles, it is part of the worm world and the grading system which Lewas as kind enough to provide.

Got it. I understand now. What would a person that can reverse time for people on touch and that has a ability to increase or slow down the speed of himself and others be classified? Master/Mover/Striker? Are there any combinations that cannot happen? Also, this series is cool. Also, Scion was a god....kinda, and he seemed like a guy with depth. First one I've ever seen really, but I watch anime, so maybe my scope is a bit narrow.

Assuming it were allowed:
Striker would be the core rating, since the power requires touch to even do anything.
Secondary rating would be Trump, since technically, this sounds like it can grant effective superspeed. Power-granting is Trump.
Assuming by "reverse time", you mean it displaces them back to a position/state along their own personal timeline without actually reversing time as a whole, then yes, it might provoke a Mover rating as well, especially in a personal capacity. Rating number/intensity would depend on how far back the PC could rewind.
As far as can be told, there's no specific combination of power ratings that never end up together. There's some unlikely/uncommon combos, but having a classification in one power type doesn't necessarily preclude having another.
There also might be a Brute rating for the effective self-healing it sounds like this would do.

So, in summary: Striker/Mover/Brute/Trump, possibly with a small side of Breaker.

No, it's time reversal like Eri's from MHA. Also, the Shards just....wow, they sound like Stand names. I can just imagine a JoJo/Worm collab: "Go, Killer Queen's Administrator!"

I don’t know what Mintz reaction will be but I can certainly say for myself that I would be very against time altering powers. It again, can usually fall under rule three of godmodding for obvious reasons (such as abusing it in every situation as one example). Also, no one wants to play the freeze game or re-write a scene again with a different outcome. The machines needed for writing the power would probably get annoying for other players.

No, it's not altering timelines or changing events, just the flow of time for people he touches. Eri can't change timelines with her time powers, she can only reverse time for objects or people. His powers cannot extend farther than reversing or speeding up time on touch for anything living. That means buildings cannot be affected, he's not capable of reversing the earth to it's beginning, he actually has to touch things, so anything intangible cannot be changed. Also, I'm specifying that living thing, so he can't actually revive the dead by reversing time, as only those who are alive can be affected by his powers. There are a lot of weaknesses and he is in no way a god.

I think if the GMs say time powers are a no-go, it may just generally be a good idea to go back to the drawing board honestly.

Fair warning, this can change if you want it to, but barely alive is alive enough for his powers to function, so if ya want to kill someone when he's around, you really have to kill them dead.

I didn’t say changing timelines, I said time altering as in altering an aspect of time. Yes, touch would be at least one drawback but for how long can they forward or rewind the one person or object? And you say that you couldn’t do it to a building so, what kind of objects? How big or small?

All and all, the biggest reason it’s a no for me as a GM, is that I have to consider how enjoyable it will be to work with a character like that. Most people I doubt would love to re-write a whole scene or guess which point they would need to go back to. Heck, as one of the GMs who has to eventually write for the villains going against our heroes, I sure don’t want to have to re-write different points or play the backwards game.

It's only living objects so I guess that does kinda still include grass and stuff. Hmm. That's tricky. What do you mean by rewrite? He can't change things that have already happened. Villains can still kill superheroes and he can't stop that. He alters time, but it's not like time travel. He can't physically go back to the past to change things, his powers can only target one complete thing, size doesnt matter. So, if he were to touch the grass on the earth all that would be affected is one blade of grass, Maybe it would become so old it would naturally die, but everything else would be fine. However, if he were to touch a tree the roots, leaves, and branches would be affected. His powers aren't all that...well, powerful, under the right circumstances. He's good for recon and brainwashing/mind control reversal, and...Oh, I think I get why you're worried. Don't worry, i'll find some way to word it so that he can't take away powers among other things.

Alright, what I mean by re-write is this.

Person runs forward, gets touched, person now has to go back to where they were before (assuming that the power would be limited to say a minute or couple of minutes).

As a writer, I would have to redo a post to put myself back where I was to continue forward while losing a few minutes of what is happening around me.

Not only would that be an unnecessary challenge to write but also is highly annoying. Minus all the other ways it could be abused without certain drawbacks. It is still not enjoyable for others to have to deal with. Also, it only being a touch, you can touch a whole lot of things in a small amount of time. There would have to be way more limits.

All and all, it would be a struggle to set all the limits and parameters but I also feel like it would not be a positive for all other players involved.

Obviously, Mintz has final say but I am telling you, the power is a no for me.

You misunderstand. My power does not move someone back or forward in time. It only moves someone's physical form forward or backward in time. It works like this: Take Eri's Quirk, Rewind:

Rewind gives the user the ability to reverse a living being's body back to a previous state.

then, add the ability to do that essentially forward in time.

There is no time reversal like the type you describe.

What you’re describing sounds more like teleportation, which we already have in the form of a character that makes prota

That is literally even more of a no then what I was describing as it falls back on rule three and still is unenjoyable for players.
