You have no idea how glad I am that someone is playing a detective

Absolutely approved, my friend

...and he's also the first non-Variant

Well, here's how it would be:

The numbered classes (1-5...six would no longer be necessary) would classify the actual abilities.

The descriptive classes that I have listed would describe the Variant themself. These are used as a codeword to get a quick read on a Variant's capabilities with as few words as possible.

So, let's say, my girl Sierra would be a Red Level Volatile with Class 1 and Class 4 abilities, for example.

Oh man, I'm sorry! 😟 I thought I said something. Yes, Jayson is approved!

Ok, y'all...I'd like your input on this new Variant class system. I've covered a number of abilities, but I believe there are still a few more that can be grouped together into a single class. Here's what I have so far:

Brute - Variants with increased levels of strength and/or durability; they may be more difficult to harm or take down

Metamorphic - Variants can change anatomy and/or physiology, either partially or fully; can take human or non-human forms including animal, mineral, energy, or alien

Volatile - Variants have abilities dealing with fire, electricity, plasma, and any other explosive energy/force

Mentalist - Variants possess psychic abilities; can control and/or manipulate objects, people, energy using their thoughts

Agile - Variants are prone to quick movements and/or fast/instant travel; they may possess increased levels of dexterity

Inhibitor - Variants wield powers that can weaken and/or hinder others

Amplifier - Variants have the ability to improve the condition of themselves and/or others

Distortionist - Variants are able to alter space-time, intangible concepts, or reality as a whole

Natural - Variants have abilities that utilize and/or effect the natural world and/or animals

Architect - Variants who are able to manipulate, modify, and/or replicate matter and/or energy; some are able to construct tangible objects from energy

Thanks in advance for any help! ^_^

@Cerces22
One request...could you include the actual pic for Relka instead of the link to it? Other then that she looks good to go ^_^

Also, peeps...I'm exercising my power as GM and playing three characters instead of two. :P Mainly because I couldn't bear to NPC either of the twins and Manny is just my guy. The twins are only halfway done, though, but I wanted to post my progress anyway. And since my eyes are getting heavy, I'm going to finish them later. Enjoy!

Heads up to everyone:

I'm going to be changing the ability classification system a bit, so your CS's are gonna have to be modified slightly. Won't be a massive change...I just feel like it's too vague. Especially since Class 6 could mean pretty much anything. Should have it ready soon.

@Atrophy
I'm glad you asked! :D Here is a description of the event that took place.

Shit got real

[ March 3, 2121 - 9:38 PM ]

Five hours. For five solid hours the beast had been terrorizing downtown New Haven. Powerful jaws with razorlike teeth, claws sharp enough to gouge steel, and muscles that could easily lift a streetcar. But this wasn’t just any beast; the Variant known as Behemoth had gone rogue from M.A.D. -- N.O.V.A.’s special task force...and not just rogue, but on an all-out rampage. Ravaging block after block, shrugging off bullets and feeble attempts at sedation, letting his feral rage drive him. After four deaths and countless injuries, he had finally been subdued by using an armored truck as a battering ram and 5-inch thick steel rope as a makeshift straitjacket.

M.A.D.’s Strike Initiative, special branch comprised of Variants, had been in a shaky state since its inception for various reasons. It had become more of a liability than an asset, and was under heavy fire despite the drop in crime rate. The stress of the job and the treatment from the government as well as the public had pushed one of the more dangerous members, Behemoth, over the edge. He lost control of his power, transforming into his beast form without being able to change back. He basically stopped caring about the welfare of ‘normal’ humans and his abilities took over and did the rest.

It was after this tragedy that N.O.V.A. finally decided to pull the plug. Behemoth was shipped to a secret, secure prison, and the acceptance of Variants would severely decline. And with the ‘threat’ of a superpowered task force removed from the equation, it became open season for any and all criminals, normal and Variant alike.

As far as playing a former N.O.V.A. member, I think that should be fine. I'm using the agency more as a tool to shape the world than as a playable organization.

@Sanity43217
That power is much more workable... Everything looks good and Logan is approved!

@Crusader Lord
Yes, as in the quote, I would prefer real photos...realistic drawings are okay, too, if you can't find an actual photo that suits the character

@Zoey White
I love this girl! She fits in just fine. Her exploits are merely criminal and not part of some grand megalomaniacal scheme, so it works. Identia is approved! You're allowed two characters, if you decide to have another anyway (since you said you had another idea).

@FunnyGuy
That...is just great! Hehe

@Renny
One question...how extensive is his self-healing ability?

@Berlin
Nice job...Aria is good to go :)

Here's a preview of my second character's powers:

Fire/Heat Immunity
Sierra's entire body is immune to the effects fire and extreme heat, including fevers and sunburn.

Abnormal Body Temperature
Sierra has a base body temperature well over any normal human (around 107°F). For this reason, it takes rather extreme temperatures for her to feel cold.

Pyrokinesis/Fire Form
Sierra has the ability to envelop her body in flames, either entirely or partially, without harming herself. She can also create spheres of flames that she can toss and streams of flames that she can shoot out.

Pyrokinetic Flight
Sierra can use her pyrokinetic ability for jet propulsion allowing her to fly.
