I'm unwilling to participate in this anymore. It's growing more and more cliched, and I came here hoping for something new. Too many characters feel shoehorned in unnecessarily, and the 'power limiter' thing is the straw that breaks my back. 

If you're going to play a god, play one. The backpedaling leads me to believe that you want these characters closer than they ever should be to our PCs, and insofar the only character sheet I've seen that I'd really call 'Advanced' level of play would be our GM's, and I believe that's only because of his intimacy with this project. 

I want to be a part of this, I really, really do, but I can't in good conscience keep playing with rules that are getting amended to suit the GM's needs even in the natal state of this RP. No offense to any of you, either, but no character as yet in this roleplay has really wowed me enough to want to stay, either. I don't want to be the one guy who writes the hell out of his character and gets nothing out of it in return. It's an exercise in futility. 

I bear zero ill will (to any of you, but this is mostly relevant to [@JohnSolaris]), I only wish that you would play it straight. Playing a god is fine, but do as gods do and be umpteen-times removed from reality. Now we've got incoming 'epic' level characters, and the roleplay [i]has not even started yet.[/i] Power is a privilege, not a right.

So, yeah, that's about it. I wish you all luck, but I'm not willing to write anything for this anymore. For that, I'm sorry.
