[@Dead Cruiser] Both of those ideas sound cool. If Sphinx has telepathy he could have some other powers that naturally branch off of that, like looking into dreams or creating illusions. I wouldn't want him having telekinesis as well though. And if he has telepathy he can subtly influence people but outright trying to hijack people's minds should be a struggle even for NPCs and shouldn't happen to PCs.  I also like the idea of a half-dead snarky villain sorcerer. I don't want the team to be mostly good guys and one jerk though, I'd like a good mix of good guys, bad guys, and the people in between.

[@ClocktowerEchos] Hmm well it's alright to have someone be extremely skilled in a few things and competent at others. I wouldn't want an omnidisciplinary scientist or some such though. And I fear we might be getting too many cerebral types. There has to be some good old fashioned firepower to balance it out. Of course nothings stopping you from having a character who's smart and can kick tons of ass, within reason. 

[@gaudi] It was either Magnum or two models that caused the Apocalypse. Or both.
