I might bite, as a veteran of Mutants and Masterminds, this seems very tempting.

The Fluff is up. If you want, you can begin creating characters and picking a faction (Objector, WFO, Darkstar). I don't need you to make a original superhero, but if there is an obscure one or a generic one (I don't want a photo of Supergirl), go ahead and use it.

Well, that is interesting. I do like the Saxophone, the sexiest instrument ever.
And just because not many people are posting doesn't mean it's dead. We now have five people, and if we get maybe 1-2 more (I'll be PMing my ass off), we can start.
Also, think of your characters. I changed minor Superpower to Movement ability. It makes more sense.

I'll put up my sheet tomorrow. Also, were you aware that there is now a new improved version of Hero Machine?

Background: Ryan was born into a middle class family in southern Arkansas. He graduated Hendrix College with a degree in Animation Design, and left for work in Paradiso after being offered a job as a cartoon animator. He discovered he had unusual abilities soon afterwards, but only when he turned 27 did his abilities come full force. He discovered that his abilities were a result of a genetic fault that occurs in one in one-hundred million. He quickly brought these abilities to his control, and became notorious for his brutal sense of justice. He is a hero, when the urge hits him, but otherwise, he tries to make his living as an animator or mercenary, breaking the law very rarely. Ryan has few friends, but the ones he does have are either very special or very useful. Ryan tries to avoid major conflicts, usually working with the Objectors, but fortunately, The Warriors for Order are on good terms with him. His show was cancelled for "suggesting rebellious themes", and as a result, he is starting to get more involved in the conflict. Typically, Ryan is cold, monotonous, and formal to the extreme. Once he is comfortable in someone's presence, he displays his warmer side. The same really, but a tad more friendly and less stiff. Also, he has an interest in Meta-Physics.
Major Power: Kinetic Force: Ryan can create "pushes" and "pulls" of varying power, usually in powerful blasts. Thus, his nick name, Wave.
He can use these in complicated ways to make exotic techniques, such as whirlwinds and shields. Last measurement showed a force of 400 Tons per square inch at 3,672 miles per hour.
Movement Power: Jump: Ryan can use his Kinetic Force to push himself into a tiny form, reducing drag and inertia, to propel himself at nearly the speed of sound. He can do this to others, but it is far less safe. However, this ability is extremely painful, and usually a last resort. Any distance beyond six miles will cause permanent physical damage.
Weakness: Fluids: If submerged in a liquid with a density equal or greater than water, he will be trapped, because he is a poor swimmer, and the properties and density of such materials make his powers almost useless.
NPC: Chueng Isuel
Age: N/A
Faction: Warriors for Order
Alignment: Chaotic Good.
Bio: Isuel is a North Korean master of South Korean Tae Kwon Do, though he only has his red belt. He illegally immigrated to America once he mastered the art, and setup in Paradiso, where he found work that suited him. He works with the Warriors for Order, usually doing undercover and agent type work. Not much else is known, besides his rivalry with Ryan and his taste for Scatting.
Power: Elite Physique: Isuel has physical and mental abilities beyond a normal human, including speed, strength, and reaction time, but less than the average super. Thus, he is victim to wounds much less than super standards, but far above typical humans.

So, I (and the voices in my head) have made a decision. We need some interesting NPC's...
So here they are. Objector ShockTroops (Non-Superpowered foot soldiers) and Darkstar Dread Legion (Non-Superpowered foot soldiers) They operate in teams of 3-5, with the exception of the Objector scout, who works alone.
