Powers!
Rules:
Quote:
- This is a required post to join/start battles or using powers in normal posts.
Characters can be rp without having a power profile complete. However, they can not be played using any powers until powers have been approved by the mods.
Power can be approved one by one if players need time to develop a character.
Mods/owners can ask that powers be adjusted even after approval if they feel there needs to be more restrictions or think it is too restricted.
Players may adjust their powers later while keeping the basic purpose if they feel they have a better feel after playing them. Remember to pass it by the mods, they will keep a copy of powers they have confirmed.
Do not play a power then ask for confirmation.
Minor exception: During Elder quests an evolve form of the power might develop and be used. New powers developed after/during elder quests need to be confirmed after it ended and can not break restricted power rules. (ex: time traveling etc)
Mythical races can only use the race specific powers found in the Meta Race info page plus a few more that are not listed. Please be aware any new powers for mythical races may be templated for the whole species.
Magi (Magic using humans) are different and can have unique powers like a meta, but only based on one element or power type. (( ex: Fire, Shifting, etc )
Second generation or Hybrid metas can have inherited powers from their parents: Max of two. Racial powers inherited: Max of three
Keep your powers believable, as in, don't give a toddler the ability to smash a boulder, that's just silly. That could be a teen ability instead.
Here's the fun part! Coming up with powers for your Meta!

*----------------------------------*
[4]Resistances!
Using the growth chart above add as many resistances as fits that stage. They are all based on the meta's item.

[5]Weaknesses!
Using the growth chart above add as many weaknesses as fits that stage, more if you feel like it. They don't have to be other powers, they can be anything you foresee being useful against your character.
Weaknesses lower defense, but are required.
