Below will contain a list of potential powersets and banned out abilities. Note: [u]This is not a comprehensive list![/u]
If you have any suggestions, please put them forward. We'll review it and get back to you. 

[b]Please note:[/b] we're not putting the CS up juuuuust yet because we're still working out a couple things for the setting/relevant lore, so while we encourage ya'll to come up with your basic ideas, just keep in mind that the more in-depth stuff may need to change. History and Personality will likely be affected by this. 

General rule of thumb for powers (be they custom or suggested):

[b][u]Avoid generalizations![/u][/b]
	Be specific in what the ability can/can't do,
	Have ready some weaknesses/limitations for the ability. 

[b][u]Be aware that one can have up to two abilities![/u][/b]
	Someone specializing in one ability will have better control/capabilities than someone with two abilities from the same tree, who in turn will have better control/capabilities than someone with abilities from two different trees. Do you want one great tool, or many* okay ones?
	*Many is two. Firm.

[b][u]Duplicate abilities, while allowed, are not encouraged.[/u][/b]
	Diversity makes things interesting. With so many powers to choose from, we encourage characters to pick abilities that are not yet represented. This is more to keep any two characters from being too similar. That being said, we are not ruling out the possibility. We just ask that should two characters both end up with the same powerset, just spice it up! For example: maybe out of two Ice Manipulators, one has freezing breath, while the other physically envelopes their body in ice? Just play around with it. And remember: [b]BE SPECIFIC![/b]

[b][u]All characters will have roughly the same amount of experience with their abilities![/u][/b]
	As of the start of the RP, all charries will have only had their abilities for up to a year. People aged 15-20 are tested annually for the mutation. In general, it tends to activate between those years, with no cases showing it having activated post-puberty. While some may be inherently stronger than others, we won't be seeing any battle-tested super-ninjas.
