First come, first served for now.

5 PCs are the limit, for now.

I would say concept and story are far more important than clever stats ;)

We have a speedster, two variety characters that I would classify as manipulators/controllers, a martial artist, a paragon type and Wasabi should be playing a growing/plant controller.

We don't have a straight up blaster. A dedicated brick. Or a mentalist or mage.

Anyone else see any gaps there?

Sorry for calling Tempest and Numinous as controllers/manipulators, but they are really hard to peg down into one area. ;)

Yep, they are. I'd call Tempest a pseudo-brick, with some decent blaster capabilities. His heaviest hit will be a punch, and he can take one too, but against lesser foes he'll probably tend towards ranged blasts and TK. His additional powers (the Weaken, Kinetic Energy Mastery, etc.) are ones he's not real familiar with - he'll probably develop uses for them over time.

Shenna was looking for a Green Lantern-like feel - Numinous' thoughtforms are kind of like GL's created objects, her ranged special attack might look like a giant mace, etc. A controller/manipulator is probably as good of a description of Numinous as any. :)

My two other concepts were:

1)The character that my girlfriend want to play (Once i'll run my own game). a Belle with portal powers (inspired from "portal" the game). The power is a bit similar to teleportation.
She can open 'portals' that coincide in thin hair.
There's a wide range of application.
Moving herself, allies, foes or object from a place to another.
(She could throw a car on a foe...Make an enemy fall in a portal and reappear in the sky and fall painfully... Phase threw a projectile or even redirect it...)
(She's supposed to be a complete gloryhound like Phantom girl)
Image

2)A character inspired from Kikaider (that is inspired from pinnochio) as the dedicated brick.
The robot who dreamt to be a human. (Quite a sad character)
He lost his father/master/creator and he wanders on the fringes of society looking for a purpose.
A machine with an heart of gold

He could look like Q from street fighter
Image
Q is inspired from Robot Detective Keiji

I L-O-V-E the Robot brick. Tell me more.

Will you draw him up?

Stat him up?

What will his name be?

Wow I really like this idea :)

I must add I know i'm not the only one who covet a place in the game.
Maybe i'm not the more dedicated player around.
(For exemple I spent all the afternoon on the forum ...which got my girlfriend all worked up^^!)
What will be the pace of the game? I do not want to slow down the game if i'm unable to post quickly.

I am looking for pacing in the twice a week minimum posts.

I will always pause the action if someone hasn't posted, to keep it from getting ahead of them.

For example, right now we are doing the same thing, waiting on the last two players (of which you might be one ;) )

Great, i was longing to play that concept for a long time :)
Will you draw him up?
Definitely! I'm not sure about the style.(Timmverse? like everyone?)
Stat him up?
What will his name be?
Sure :D ... but not right now...You see, here it's the evening, and my girlfriend insist that I let go the computer!

edit:the twice a week ?! No problem :D
