When a group of players click and the posts keep roling in, that's what GM dreams are made of.

We're roleplayers, of course we're going to make a third option the GM didn't present.

The GM should know exactly why each character was or wasn't accepted and be willing to state such. But the reality is that sometimes other characters/players just synergize better

I regret to say that something serious has come up for me irl, and I can't participate in roleplays at the moment as I'd like to. It seems I would have needed to do some overhauling as well to fit, but that's besides the point. Please don't worry about considering my char. This looks like it'll be a great rp, so I wish you luck with it and for everyone to have fun!
I'm sorry to hear that. Hope your situation resolves itself in a positive way! Best of luck with any future RPs!
Hey all, with just a few days left I've started going through the sheets and I just wanted to clarify two things. I realize there might be some confusion with the OOC but I cannot stress enough that your character will not have or be aware of their powers at the beginning of the roleplay. They will be gained in the first little bit of the IC and while I know this might seem to contradict some of the OOC, there is a reason for it.
Secondly, due to the way I intend to bring the group together, I can't help but emphasize the importance of your character having at the very least a casual relationship with Vanessa. Since the group will be brought together for a grief group, it's crucial your character knew Vanessa well enough to actually be bothered. Any sheet that only has a passing relationship with the character won't be considered to the same extent as sheets with a stronger and more defined relationship.
Now that all said, if you're happy with your sheet and don't think it requires any edits then I encourage you not to change it. I'm not going to name names or single anyone out here, I just wanted to make a general announcement to ensure everyone is on the same page and has been given the same advantages before the deadline on Monday.
UPDATE:
The rules have been updated to hopefully remove any remaining confusion as to the starting state of your characters. Please don't hesitate to message me if there is any remaining miscommunication.

RJ and Vanessa first met in kindergarten but due to his lack of actual class participation through most of elementary school, the pair rarely interacted. It wasn't until high school the pair formed an unconventional friendship. Ever the recluse, RJ had been reading on the bleachers when Vanessa's protests reached his ears between songs. Investigating, RJ quickly discovered one of the jocks pressuring Vanessa behind the bleachers. Though the altercation ended with RJ having his ass handed to him, it was enough to get the jock to lay off of Vanessa, starting the odd friendship. The pair enjoyed reading together beneath the Hanging Tree, and RJ often excitedly introduced Vanessa to any new music he enjoyed. It was also RJ who unfortunately introduced Vanessa to cigarettes, a habit that deemed him a bad influence in the eyes of her parents and siblings. -

Every high school needs a John Bender, and Mather Memorial has theirs in the form of Robert James Scott. Born on the wrong side of the tracks, Robert, or RJ as he prefers to be called, was raised in the Beau by both his parents. Although in his father's case, he was raised more by a swift kick to the ass than he was any sort of nurturing words.
An outsider among Mather Memorial's various cliques, RJ was considered by a burnout early into his academic career. Often aloof and unmotivated in class, his teachers quickly lost their patience with him leading to RJ spending most of his academic hours outside of the classroom. When the principal eventually grew sick of seeing RJ outside his office, the developing boy was sent to the library where he could at least put in some man-hours. In actuality, RJ wasn't unmotivated, it was just that most concepts presented in traditional academics bored him because of how quickly he understood them. His less than stellar grades were a result of not having any passion for learning as he was rarely challenged. However, working in the library introduced RJ to a love of reading that he didn't know he had previously as he became lost in the works of Austen, Defoe, Shelley, Swift and numerous others.
At home, music was often RJ's escape from the screaming match in the living room. While books offered numerous exotic locales that weren't his stale smelling bedroom, music actually drowned his mother's screams and the crack of his father's belt. By the time he entered highschool, RJ had taken to carrying a walkman with him wherever he went and it was often his go to escape should he find himself in a situation or company he didn't enjoy. Though a recluse, RJ wasn't unfriendly and often found himself sticking up for the down trodden in the hallways of Mather Memorial. In fact a large part of RJ's unpopularity among his peers was due to refusing to bow down to the varcity teams, often leading to more than a few blows exchanged in the hallways of the secondary school.
A B I L I T I E S, L I M I T A T I O N S & W E A K N E S S E S A B I L I T I E S, L I M I T A T I O N S & W E A K N E S S E S
H Y P E R H U M A N A B I L I T Y || H Y P E R - S T R E N G T H
Like Hercules or Samson, RJ's Hyperhuman ability manifests itself in a form of augmented strength that exceeds that of even an Olympic level strongman. Unlike either of the two legendary figures, however, RJ's strength doesn't come from physical muscles but rather a form of tactile telekinesis. RJ's superhuman strength is created by psionic energies which manifest a bioelectric field that surrounds his body. This field extends around whatever RJ touches and allows him to lift objects far beyond his physical capabilities. As the field extends around whatever RJ is touching, it also bolsters that object, at least while in contact with RJ, allowing him to grab a car by its fender without it shearing off from the rest of the car. This enhanced bioelectric field furthermore protects his body from harm, displacing force from blows and impact to greatly reduce their degree of harm or even completely negate it.
L I M I T A T I O N S || W E I G H T, S I Z E
Like the body itself, even the mind has limits. The larger the object, the more strain it puts on RJ and his mind. This correlates to both the weight and size of the object. To further explain, even if RJ were capable of handling the weight of a skyscraper, he couldn't expand his bioelectric field to envelop the building. At his maximum output, RJ is capable of hoisting an object of three thousand pounds above his head though not without strain. In the same vein, the largest object he could expand his field around is that of a station wagon.
W E A K N E S S E S || C O N S C I O U S N E S S, I N S U L A T O R S
As RJ's powers are psionic, they require his mind to be conscious and aware to perform his abilities at even an involuntary level. Due to this, when RJ is unconscious or even asleep, he's rendered completely human and is completely vulnerable in these states. Since RJ's powers are linked to both his mind and body's bioelectric field, instances that disrupt either of these can temporarily render RJ powerless. Insulators can reduce the range and effectiveness of RJ's abilities, even completely blocking them if he were subjected to wearing them.
