Thanks Rob, let's see now... Well, it's still a little hard to imagine him as an all out super hero (or functioning underwater for that matter XD) But~ In light of this new info, I'd like to propose Springpine for Jury Duty and Heavy Decisions, as well. Perhaps...if you'll have me

My new character Springpine could fit into your Creature Feature thread, but seeing as he's still fairly new to the superhero gig I don't think he'd have the recognition required to fit into your other threads.

Alright, bought the Elongation down to free and added stun to my DC block.

As we talked about it, I have 2pp left to spend after the 5pp from Man Made Whole and -3pp from the sunlight drawback. I added the following to my array: Windup Punch: Stun 7 (Flaw: Full Action) {7}+ Elongation 4 {4} [11pp] Woodwork: Create Object 4 (Extra: Duration[Continuous]) [12pp]

Thanks for the check, I'll update the sheet as soon as possible. The fluff will have to be discussed a bit though, but I can address the math issues immediately. EDIT: +Defenses addressed, took some Dodge Focus +Most feats moved to Man Made Whole +Arrays fixed (hopefully) +Disability drawbacks shunted to complications, took Being Green drawbacks instead +Feature 1 for disabilities in Man Made Whole +Fluff redone, Springpine doesn't know about Labyrinth's association (which was my intention), and he was thrown out of his house and is now actively seeking for clues to the perpetrators responsible for his condition. -Decreased Enhanced Dexterity to 2 since I don't use any Dex skills and initiative wouldn't matter past the first turn. -Removed Absorption Light 3, as it was mostly for fluff (expensive fluff, which I cannot afford now) -Quick Change removed

Player Name: trildemex Character Name: Springpine Power Level: PL7 (105/105PP) Trade-Offs:None Unspent Power Points: 0 Progress To Bronze Status: 0/30 In Brief: Disabled young farm hand uses botanokinesis to simulate missing body parts. Alternate Identity: Identity: Cletus Yokel (Secret) Birthplace: Oklahoma Occupation: Farmer, Student Affiliations: None (yet!) Family: Danny Yokel (Father), Samantha Abbot (Mother, Deceased), Amanda Yokel (Younger Sister) Description: Age: 22 (DoB: 15th Sept 1992) Apparent Age: 22 Gender: Male Ethnicity: White American Height: 6' 3" Weight:160 pounds Eyes: Brown Hair: Black Cletus is a well-built, giant of a man, who grew up doing honest work on his farm alongside his father. In civilian clothing, he ties up the end of his left sleeve so as to stop it from dangling about. The left side of his face is scarred bright pink from the accident and the pupil in his left eye has gone cloudy. With his plant augmenting his body, his left arm and eye are reconstructed using plant which are mostly a dark green. The eye itself is a single blue orb and plant tendrils flower across Cletus' face to anchor the eye in place. The plant limb simulates actual muscles by growing strands of vine-like tissue and functions like his old limb. Power Descriptions: Descriptors: Plants The major use of his power is to simulate Cletus' lost body parts, namely his eye and his arm, they function just as a normal eye and arm would. He is able to stretch the arm to long lengths or manipulate it's shape and density. The plant matter that runs through his veins also stimulate his muscles to give him increased strength and control, while keeping the muscles from tearing by binding them with a network of "plant veins". Other than that, he is able to communicate with plants, but has difficulty shutting out their voices at times. Cletus is still developing his powers, and is actively trying to graduate from local manipulation of plants. History: While driving his mother out on a trip to the city from the family wheat farm, Cletus crashes the car into an oncoming bus. His mother died on impact but Cletus managed to survive the ordeal. The burning wreckage crushed a portion of his left body, his arm had to be amputated and the flames scarred his face and stole the vision from his left eye. Being the son of a farmer, this was a big blow to the family, financially and emotionally. Soon, Cletus now single father of two, Danny, became abusive and sees his son as a burden to the family, calling him a waste of space and money. Despite such hardships, Cletus continues to do his chores on the farm, albeit a little slower, a little sloppier than before. A few years came and gone since the accident, when a Labyrinth agent, under a fake name and agency, approached Cletus with an offer to join an experimental program to develop technology dedicated to enabling the public access to super powers. With the promise that his family would be taken care of and the possibility of regrowing his limbs, Cletus agreed to take the offer. However, an error occurred during the process, causing Cletus to enter a comatose state. Deemed a failure, Labyrinth decided to just of Cletus. After dumping him in a nearby river, no one expected to see the disabled farm boy again. Miraculously, a fortnight later, Cletus woke up washed up by a lake, covered in a layer of vine-like matter. The experiment had granted Cletus botanokines, and the ability to photosynthesize nutrients in his body had kept him alive. Then he heard the voices: the trees, the brush, the grass beneath his feet. And the voices guide him home, slowly but surely, they guided him home. His father and sister welcomed him back with joy and relief, and all was fine for a while. But it wasn't long before harvest season started, and Cletus woke up with a shock. Somewhere in the distant, he could hear the thousands upon thousands of screams of agony, the wailing of the golden fields floating in the air. Driven by fear and shock, Cletus made a mad dash out into the fields to confront his father, his own cries drowned by the voices that only he could hear. But his father was not a frail, old man, nay. Danny was an able-bodied man, with a sound mind, as opposed to the one-armed, addled Cletus. Danny was able to subdue Cletus easily and was holding him down the best he could, and his best was doing very well. That is, until a limb took shape where his left arm should have been. A thick, green arm that flexed with such raw power, in one strike he knocked his father out cold. Then all was silent, save for the whispers of the ears of wheat, thanking, calming, soothing him. And so he sat there, and cried. He cried for the wheat, he cried for help, he cried for the madness to stop. But no help came, only silence. Cletus brought his father back to the house and when he came to, related to him about the offer by a mysterious person and his new found powers. Outraged, Danny condemned him as an abomination and exiled him from the farm. With nothing left in his life, Cletus turns his attention to the people responsible of taking away his familiy and his old life and poetically, granted him a new one. He now patrols the street of Freedom City under the alias of Springpine and has a part-time job as a sewer cleaner. Personality & Motivation: In an attempt to track down the people responsible for Cletus' powers, and to stop them from menacing other victims, he sets out under the alias of Springpine in the streets of Freedom City Powers & Tactics: In battle, Cletus makes use of his plant limb to dart across the field, to make fly-by attacks, or to pull enemies close from afar. Mostly, he uses his superior strength and agility to get up close and personal with enemies before pummeling them or grappling them into submission. Complications: Solar Dependance: A majority of Springpine's powers are weakened if concealed from the sun for prolonged amounts of time. Pyrophobia: Springpine's powers are also vulnerable to fire or extreme heat. Without the Green: Without his powers, Cletus lacks an arm and an eye. He may face difficulties manipulating objects and lacks depth perception if his botanokinesis cannot come into play. Crutch Syndrome: As Cletus becomes more dependent on his powers to function "normally", he becomes more and more reliant on it and hence, desperately avoids situations that may compromise the use of his powers. He avoids staying in shady areas for prolonged amounts of time and refuses to enter hot places. Talk to the Hand: As Cletus' spends more time as Springpine, his plant anatomy seems to be developing a personality of it's own. Worst yet, it's developed sass. On occasions where Cletus and his plant anatomy cannot harmonize or come to terms, his powers might fail him.

Keep em coming guys, I'm editing this constantly, and the character is fleshing out quite nicely, imo. I project about 20 worth of free PP once the "core" is done, after the tweaks to my powers. From there I'll see what I can beef up. EDIT: All that's left is to fluff him out.

And so he sat there, and cried. He cried for the wheat, he cried for help, he cried for the madness to stop. And his prayers were answered: the Claremont Academy dispatched a group to retrieve Cletus. They offered him a place to stay and nurture himself, whilst keeping his family safe. Initially, Cletus was wary after the last time he was given an "offer" but after realizing that there were no alternatives to his situation, he gave in and joined the academy. Danny's memory was wiped of Cletus' outburst and given false memories of his son being offered a disability scholarship to study. He now spends his time as a student with the alias of Springpine, honing and discovering new functions for his abilities.
