I'm gonna keep this short and simple since a lot of times these things don't take off. My stat system is fairly simple, and most of the stats just limit you to what you can do in-battle as far as how many attacks you can have per post [Speed], how strong they are [Strength], what different attacks [Attack], how many defensive moves you can have per battle and what they are [Defense], and then of course there's an IQ stat and a health stat. Characters would begin with level 1 stats [16 stat points] and gain another level/stat point for every 5 posts in-game. A signature move is awarded at Level 3 and is worth double damage or double defense. A signature defense is the only defense for a signature attack and the only defensive move you can use for another player.

Here's a breakdown of how the system works:

[hider=STAT Breakdowns]
The stats for this game will include:

I.Q. - (how strong your characters are mentally, for example Brainiac would have a pretty high I.Q. where a rookie's would be less. Average human/alien would be 2.)

Strength - (1-5 has -1 damage, 6-10 has -2 damage) Average human strength would be set at 2, only characters with heightened or super strength should increase higher! EDIT: However, one could view your strength as the strength of your attacks!

Speed - (1-3 has 3 attacks per post, 4-7 has 4 attacks available, 8-10 has 5 attacks)

Attack - (number of attacks) Each player will have melee attacks that are not included on your attack stat including basic punches and kicks and alien tail swipes or bites. Attack is for things like heat vision, throw, generic super speed attack, etc...

Defense - (number of defense moves, each can be used twice per battle. If your defense is 2 and the battle lasts 4 posts you can use 4 defense moves. If the battle rages on for 7 posts you are still limited to only 4 defensive moves total in that case. Defense can't block a signature attack!)

Health - (IQ+strength+speed+defense)

*Signature moves awarded at Level 3 do double damage. The attack itself should include your alien ability. The only defense against a signature attack is a signature defense that can also be a move based on your alien ability. Signature Defense is also the only defense you can use to help another player directly in-game from an enemy attack be it a regular attack or signature attack! At the moment you can only have one or the other, Signature Attack or Signature Defense.
Now... that's not a lot of info at all really. As far as stats go, I know once you have 6 points on strength some of you might ask "what's the point of having strength or speed any higher?" and the simple answer is writing limitations. If a character like Superman has 6 strength and a God like Zeus walks by with a strength of 8, in the context of the story Zeus would of course be viewed as stronger. Same thing applies for speed.

Power Class - you earn a stat point/level for every 5 posts in-character.

Level 1 - 16 points - 1-5 posts
Level 2 - 17 points - 6-10 posts
Level 3 - 18 points (plus signature attack or defense!) - 11-15 posts
Level 4 - 19 points - 16-20 posts
Level 5 - 20 points - 21-25 posts
Level 6 - 21 points - 26-30 posts
Level 7 - 22 points - 31-35 posts
Level 8 - 23 points - 36-40 posts
Level 9 - 24 points - 41-45 posts
Level 10 - 25 points 46-50 posts

If the game lasts long enough, and it might, we'll go beyond Level 10 and probably continue on to Level 15. Boss stats will be Level 15 to Level 20 with stats between 30-35 points making a team effort to defeat the enemy a must.[/hider]

As far as what type of superhero RP this will be that's still up in the air. Only looking for 4-5 players total so something like the Fantastic Four could work, I also thought about doing Pulp style heroes with a 1930's or 1940's setting, anything really. If a few of you want to make it a Marvel themed RP we could do that, make it set in the DC universe, or create an original universe either way. 

If this happens we'll keep track of who can do what and what level everyone is with stat cards that I'll keep updated. Here's an example of an old Legion stat based game that never quite took off...

So c'mon people, let's make some heroes and see them evolve in whatever world we decide to build. ANY type of superhero setting, I can quite literally make a game out of anything.
