Greetings all I am the hardly known Toukankishi and I present to you an idea.
My idea
It has come to my attention that many RPers don't know just how to gauge their own character's power. This is not directed towards anyone, I'm just saying that this is what I have seen. The host of a thread can gauge it in many ways. Some like to use the character's profile to determine the strength of a character, others just in relation to the host.
Now I prefer basing a character's power based off of how well the can explain their bio, powers, and personality. I have seen some wonderful profiles of characters that are really well done yet they make their characters not that powerful. There are also those who do the same but make their characters to be really powerful and yet show great control over their character's power.
Then there are some which have hardly any information at all in them and they claim to be a god. Such as saying in their bio that they don't remember their past, or no one knows about their past, or anyone that knows them they have killed, or even that they are this all powerful being that has done little to this point. That just sickens me, they expect to be really awesome yet they don't really explain to you anything about their character. Then they expect to be allowed to do what ever it is they want, constantly exploiting their power, being able to do things they didn't explain they can do or know how, making themselves to be a big shot in the RP and yet they have no history to back it up.
I want to come up with a way that will allow one to have as crappy of a profile as they want yet still be at the same power of everyone else. And then those with really good profiles to get little bonuses because of how they explain it.
