>her direct value in combat being limited to being a combat medic.
Won't she like, be able to know how to kill any man she sees by lightly touching specific points on his body to direct the bloodflow and adjust the pressure or doing similar hokuto-no-ken bullshit? Or use her biology mastery to grow superhuman minions in tubes or do things like constantly keep her body on the and beyond the peak of human capabilities through manipulation of endocrinal and nervous system? Or just brew contact poisons that will immediately kill anything that they touch and keep them nearby at all times just in case of a combat breaking out?
I am not really complaining or criticizing, considering my own power, simply asking because you might be belittling the nature of your ability.

I am very interested and would like to try this. Power's not very original, but me and my good friend worked it through and liked it.
Alias: Loud Love
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: Young, pale and lithe boy with somewhat unproportionately long limbs and slightly elongated oval-shaped cranium - but nothing far beyond the norm. Appealing, slightly effeminate face, wider-than-usual hips, small hands and long, long hair reaching slightly below the hip might help to mistake him for a girl, but the falseness of that assessment is proven really easily, seeing as he does not wear any sort of clothing whatsoever due to the nature of his power - however, some parts of his skin, especially chest, temples and the zone around the mouth are covered in strange, black tatto-like patterns of complex geometrical figures.
Personality: Vicious, Playful, Whimsical but Loyal, Confiding
Powers: Explosive Teleportation, Increased Durability, Super-Sight.
Explosive Teleportation - Loud Love's body and brain generate a fantastic field of quantum instability that allows him to essentially be in many points of space at once due to a specific sort of probability manipulation - at least that is how he himself explains his ability. Whenever he makes a conscious or unconscious effort of will, the field agitates the fabric of time-space and then, faster than in a blink of an eye, without any buildup, special effects or strange sounds except for one, Loud Love just ceases to exist in one point and immediately appears in the another place of his choosing.
What makes this already potent power a truly horrible force, however, is the fact that matter and objects at the destination point of the teleportation do not just change places with Loud Love or cease to be. Instead they are extremely violently displaced in the direction and vector of his choosing - for example, if he teleports into a wall or even a free space that is filled with nothing but air, the volume of rock, air or metal equal to the volume of his body is very quickly pushed away from it's previous position to make place for Loud Love, and he can effectively control the shape and direction in which all this material will be shot out. It is possible to concentrate all of the displaced material into an very thin 'ray' that will be utterly terrifying in it's penetrating power or force it to be expelled in an explosion all around him, take shape of a cone or wide line. A very fancy-looking technique that Loud Love implements, partially for show and partially as protection from enemy fire is a series of lightning-fast teleportations that make up an impression of him moving frame-by-frame, each new jump accompanied by an extremely powerful blast of air that might even put out a person's eye at close range.
Of course, the ability can also be used on living targets, with obvious gruesome and almost hopelessly fatal effects - an especially jolly show that Loud Love likes to put on is teleporting so that only his finger or fist is phasing inside of a person's head, with a compressed jet of brain and bone immediately rupturing forth out of his temple or crown of the head.
The only drawback discovered by Loud Love yet is that he can only teleport himself, without any sort of clothing or gear on his person.
At the point of his departure, air quickly fills in the emptiness left by Love's body, producing a sound somewhat like a thunderclap.
(If it is required, i also have an actual weakness for this power. Say a word and i'll add it.)
Increased Durability - Loud Love's flesh is incredibly dense, his blood pressure is very high - though his wounds close quickly, not allowing for lots of blood loss - and his system excels a normal human's one in general endurance and durability - while nowhere near the levels of actual "brick" superhumans, it is enough to compensate for sudden and often drastic pressure changes that come after teleportations, cold that he suffers without clothing and sometimes save him from a small-caliber bullet in soft tissue.
Super-Sight - Loud Love posesses better-than-perfect sight and sense of perspective, able to view minute details at quite long distances, see at night and notice slightest changes in observed scenery. This is absolutely essential for the use of his power, which requires a big deal of precision and concentration to teleport over large distances or through any sort of semi-transparent obstacles, such as smoke or glass. Additionally, Loud Love posesses lightning-quick reflexes, allowing him to almost subconsciously teleport out of the way of some blows and lines of fire - oh, and makes him extremely suitable for being a marksman.
Equipment: None, obviously - though sometimes he uses something that he can pick up at the moment.
Short Bio: He was a pretty okay boy - somewhat of delinquent but a nice kid at heart. Got bullied sometimes for his looks but not nearly often enough to traumatize him. Suffered from some parental neglect but it didn't bring him low. Had a GREAT interest for music and really, really loved and adored a particular pop star, very very hard. Once they had a show in his small town, but oh, great sadness - he couldn't afford the ticket! So the guy came as close to the open-topped concert hall as he could, climbed on top of some nearby building and watched the performance from there with infinite glee, wishing so, so very hard that maybe by some miracle he could be there, on stage as close to his idol as it was possible~
The wish was granted immediately as the guy suddenly warped inside of his most favorite artist in the whole world and burst out of him in a shower of gore and guts - and then, he proceeded to teleport into every single place that he cast his gaze upon, always with horribly deadly results because he first of all turned his attention to people, trying to ask for help. Now THIS - this traumatized him alright. The murderous teleportating escapade went on for many hours and half of the globe until it finally stopped when the kid fell asleep. After that came a year or two of hiding from the authorities and people, with every attempt to reenter society resulting in another disaster that happened every time he became strongly agitated until at some point the guy just snapped and went off the deep end after a period of fugue and crippling depression and became what he is now.
Other: Thinking about it.

Yeah, maybe good for a villain but not a PC.
What about an ability that allows all people in it's range to evenly share out all harm done to any one of them amongst the whole group?

@Mr Allen J
How about a power that transfers any sort of harm done to the Metahuman to all people in the radius of 50 or 100 meters? If it's not extremely OP, what would you say is it's weakness?

I don't get this whole conversation, I'm just going to be blunt here when I say not going to start enforcing weaknesses to NPCs. Because it's honestly fucking redundant. And it's going to get even more redundant as I start introducing more villains/etc.
I'm going to be blunt here and say that it really feels like you two are coming after me to have some argument because I pretty much won't let your characters have whatever you want. If you guys don't like it, then I don't care.
<Snipped quote by Eyeruption>
I'm going to be honest, I cannot conceive of why it matters. Like, the In-Game world has characters that are super-powerful without obvious weakness, just like it probably has some poor schmuck whose power is that he can, I don't know, hold his breath 33% longer than the average person. We, as players, don't play the former because it damages drama and narrative and creates a power arms-race of the same type that has been ruining Marvel and DC, where the characters are always in superpower flex-offs and narrative and careful storytelling are trampled in, again, DBZ style 'muh power level' nonsense.
That all makes perfect sense, right? I don't see why this is hard.
Ah, now i get it.
I am really sorry for the misunderstanding.
It's just after reading the premise i thought that the biggest theme of the game is "realistic" depiction of superpowers in the world, i.e. simulationism prevailing over narrativism in all things including all that goes behind the scenes. I think now i get what are the strongest themes of the game.
@Nosuchthing
Well, i'm in no position to actually argue in here since i'm not even playing, but i'd want to know that exactly because they aren't shown. I would be equally okay with them both having weaknesses matching their powers or not having any, but either way i'd know that it settles in the In-Game world neatly and justifiedly.

But, if you really want some weaknesses for them, sure, I'll definitely give them to you.
Me too please, if it's possible.
Wanted to ask pretty much the same about the NPC weaknesses, yes.
I know that these probably won't come up in-game but it'll be nice to know for reference.
