I'll be watching this.  I like the idea, but have no idea what I'd want to play in it.

I would play a Japanese American or Jew (for the RP possibilities) but don't want to risk someone thinking I'm racist because my character has a specific trait. (Ex: My character's a clepto, so people thing I'm saying all insert-race-here are thieves)

No idea what power would work well either.  I want something subtle, but situationally useful.  Speaking with animals, maybe?

My favorite power (duplicating a nearby power, with skill and strength based on my understanding of it and distance, up to a certain strength) is too OP for this.
