So that's five, six counting me.
So I'll get working on the OOC and post it up as soon as I can.

Not too often. I understand life gets in the way sometimes. But as long as we're not going several days in between posts without some kind of warning, that'd be good.
Totally random. I'll have a list of 100 or so different powers and use a random number generator to select the power for each player.
Ok, so two things to remember with powers is that, like I already mentioned, your character will become more powerful over time. They're young. As they use their abilities and mature they will become stronger. Second thing to remember is when you suddenly start showing powers you don't know what your power is. The things didn't come with instructions or a guide book ya know?
So as an example I have a character in the book that can control gravity. When his powers first manifest he wakes up to find he's floating three feet in the air above his bed. At first he thinks he can fly. Then he later thinks he has telekenises. It takes a little while before they narrow it down to controlling gravity.
Another character has a power known as creation. Literally a God-like power. Anything he wants, he can create it out of thin air. A car, motorcycle, weapons, clothes, food, etc. BUT he has to completely understand the item he's making down to its molecular structure or it won't work. So this character, with his photographic memory, can't do much at first but he has the potential to grow into an incredibly powerful character eventually.

Well first of all your character I'd a still growing teen, so the power won't be as strong as it co u ld be once they're a fully matured adult. Secondly I'm kicking around the idea of a random assignment of powers. If one were to stumble upon super powers you don't usually get to choose what you get. Only makes sense to not get to choose your power here.
I'm leaving that open for debate though. If people really don't like it we can let you design your own. I'm heading home from work right now so I'll come back and give you a list of the powers the characters have in the book version of this story as examples.

When they arrived they seeded the planet. Ships dropped down all over the globe in seemingly random groupings. Some clustered in close proximity, others hundreds of miles from each other. But in each instance, when a human, or group of humans saw and investigated, they were forever changed.
There is a reason the ships came, though no evidence of their existence remains. That reason has yet to be discovered. In the meantime the era of the Human+ has begun, and Earth will never again be the same.
OOC
So basically, what we have here is a superheroes storyline. Alien ships landed on earth, usually in the middle of the night. If a person stepped aboard the ship while it was here they were changed, and woke up the next day in their beds with no memory of what happened. After a few days though, they would begin to exhibit unusual abilities.
Our team would be a group of high school kids, aged 14 to 17. We would all go to the same school. We don't all have to be friends to start with but we'll eventually become friends, teaming up to try to help out with crime in the area. Eventually I've got plans to reveal why and how the ships came to earth in the first place so yes there is an explanation.
If this get's enough interest I'll go into more detail and we can discuss powers and such.

Oh good chocolate... I thought this had kind died, what'd I miss? What's going on?
Rhys shrugged. "The long sword's served me well so far," he said. For the last ten minutes or so, he thought but declined to voice aloud. He fell into step as she started walking toward the next town and resisted the urge to harass her with question after question. Instead he just focused on the world around him, and his own body.
It was incredible! Now that he was a little calmer, perhaps a little less panicked, he was more acutely aware than ever of jus how realistic this world felt. He could smell the grass and trees, feel a cool breeze against his face, and the sun on his back as the traveled West. He could feel the road beneath his boots, the weight of his clothing, armor, and weapons as they hung off of his body. Before he could think to stop himself he lifted one hand and slapped himself across the face.
"Ow," he muttered in a quiet deadpan as one hit point vanished from his health bar. "That is just amazing." The sensation was surreal. The slap hadn't exactly hurt in so many words. But it had definitely been somewhat uncomfortable, and he'd reacted instinctively as if it had been to pain. He glanced at Elia out of the corner of his eye, hoping he wasn't acting too weird, didn't want to scare his new friend off before they even really got going.
"So," he said, after ten minutes of silence. "What do you think about that letter that went out? Think it's a hoax or are we really in some trouble here?" He sighed. "Even if it is a hoax and we don't really die if our HP hits zero, who's going to chance it just in case they don't really die? And then they wouldn't be able to tell us about it after either cause no one appears to be able to log in anymore..." He trailed off and fell silent, shoving his hands in his pockets as he walked. Shut up stupid, he thought. You're just gonna bug her and she'll leave you to fend for yourself.

Rhys almost sagged in relief when he got a positive response out of her. Help would be a serious benefit right at the moment and he was sure he could help her out too, once he'd leveled up a bit more.
"I've played a couple of the older ones," he said in response to her question. "Not one of the FIVR games though, this is a new experience. I've been holding up well enough against a few wolves I ran into on my way into town but I've only hit level two so far. Early leveling is pretty quick though in most RPG's, right?"
He opened his menu with a swipe of his hand and started going through his inventory. A few starting potions, health and skill both, A simple one handed long sword but his secondary weapon didn't look like it would be a blade. The icon was faded and difficult for him to see but it looked like a pistol, or something similar.
"Does this weapons shop that you know of sell guns?" he asked and turned to stand next to her so she could see his menu. "I selected the Duel Wielder class, but it kind of changed just as I was selecting it. I remember reading about the new patch for the fifth anniversary supposedly including some pistols and such but I hadn't planned on working with them myself. Looks like I might not have a choice in the matter though."

Hmmm... kinda got the feeling like there's really not much for me to do until we get started on whatever we're going to do. I don't want to go wandering off by myself and throw things off kilter.
I'll just keep watching for now until things get moving. Mai'lo is around, just lying low. :)
