I have a character from another RP that died out that I'd like to try.

In summary, he was sort of a mix of Cole from Dragon Age and a Promethean - basically, anyone who looked at his face or got too close to him immediately got a splitting, pounding headache and became really uncomfortable at his presence. He also had a natural, passive mind-reading ability that applied exclusively to things that were hurting people, either physically or emotionally.

Of course, that was a low-power RP, while this seems somewhat higher-power, so I'll probably tweak it to keep him in the game. Maybe you have some thoughts about that?

I like that power, it sounds quite fresh. There are kinks and details that would need to be explored, but that can all be done during the application process. I wouldn't necessarily say it needs to be amped up, but again you can pitch it however you please when it comes to applying and we can go from there. 

The focus of the academy will never be "How To Make Your Power As Strong As It Can Be"; the academy is much more concerned with teaching characters to [i]control[/i] their gifts. It is my wish for powers to simply 'exist', they won't grow stronger over time. To me that has never really made sense. For example, if you play a pyrokinetic, the academy won't be able to teach you how to 'make more fire'. That would be absurd. The academy will teach you how to control that fire, and through the Power Development classes, teach you how to expand upon what you can do with it. 

Hope this helps. I went a bit off-topic, there. But it's something for everyone to think about.

I'm interested, what would you think of a power combiner of some sort? The last two active powers they saw become their power.

Thanks for the interest. Unfortunately Shard and I are taking a firm "No Power Replicators" stance, as it's a power type that has irked us both in previous roleplays. There are a few powers we flat-out won't accept (any form of power replication being one of them), and then others we would need to discuss with each other and the RPer to find a balance.

I hope this doesn't affect your interest.
