I think I have my powerset more or less figured out. [hider= Pariah - "Don't look at me!"] My character will basically have a specific set of psychic powers that he's more or less totally incapable of controlling or even 'turning off'. These are: Anyone who looks at his face immediately gets a splitting, pounding headache that intensifies the longer it's held. This can be fatal, but generally the person will pass out before that (consciousness starts to dip at the three minute mark). Within around four feet of him, he projects an aura that basically makes anyone in it feel debilitated, fatigued, and nauseous, again getting worse the longer they stay near him. His brain is constantly sending out signals to nearby animals (and, very very rarely, particularly weak-minded people) that he is something unspeakably wrong and absolutely, positively must be destroyed. Some of the braver animals may attack him - others will just run away. He has a limited form of telepathy that only applies to things that hurt people around him, either emotionally or physically. The range of this tends to fluctuate uncontrollably, from just within a few meters to a whole building. He also has a sense of what will make them feel better - words he can say to help people form in his brain without him really understanding them. [/hider] I know it's sort of angsty, but I thought it might be interesting to throw in a character with the sort of 'gift' that is less 'potentially awesome superpower', and more 'potentially useful debilitating condition'. Thoughts are great!
