PRE-APPLICATION DISCUSSION POST!

[capitalm]

Hey guys! I had some requests for a discussion post where people can shoot the shit about potential backstory and power ideas, so here it is!

For best results, make sure to check out the FAQ and other setting information for inspiration, such as superhero registration and power levels, as well as taking at peek at the game wiki to see what's already been started!

POST RULES:

Feel free to discuss any facet of the setting you like, and how they relate to your character ideas!

Please keep in mind though, that nothing can be set in stone until the related apps are accepted. Try to not rely completely on everything on this board being apped successfully.

If you would like to know whether something sounds good to the mods, just flag us down by giving a shout in the subject line or by pinging us on plurk! We'll hit you up as soon as we can.

Have fun!

Original character, queries on cryogenic freezing

[will_o_wisp]

Hi, I'm new to this, but I wanted to ask if it's okay to play a vintage human popsicle that has been brought back to life from (unanticipated) cryogenic suspension, to be revived in the modern era? I've got the full writeup of her background here (Though one or two parts are still WIP) and have tried to make everything around the circumstances of her freezing open to interpretation. The only dates I've put in are to establish her family life and pre-revival hero career, and no other heroes or groups are named there. If you would rather that I didn't, I'll not be sore about bringing her story forward into the modern era.

On another note, I'm concerned about being OP? I'm not sure if her powers are B or C, and if I should remove the super-strength, leaving her with just flight and the ability to become incorporeal for a specific length of time.

Also I've done mainly IM-based RP before this, but don't know how to organize samples of my ability to rp for inspection. Is there a specific format for these that you're looking for, so that I can look up and provide for that?

it's Phrenotobe from Tumblr, I finally took the plunge and wanted to confirm a few things with the mods on what is and isn't okay.
