[@zapdos] This looks lit, and the fact that we’re all starting on the same playing field is right up my alley! 

A couple of the usual questions: 
1. How many players are you thinking of taking in? 
2. What happens if two PCs have a set of powers that are quite similar in essence?

Great! To answer your questions:

1) I'd like at least 4-5 players, but I don't have an upper limit in mind. I know people do lose interest in RPs or life gets busy, so I want to be prepared for that to be safe. 
2) I'd work with the players or have them work with one another to figure out a way to resolve it. Maybe one of them has another idea they can use instead. Of course, if for example Player A posts their laser eyes hero today and Player B posts it five days from now, I'm much more inclined to say Player B should change since they had plenty of "notice" so to speak. In any case, I'll try to be fair and reasonable when working with people.

Does that answer your questions?
