If someone told Mr and Mrs Jackson that thier lovely new three bedroom, two bath ranch was built on a dimensional weak spot they may have passed on thier dream home. Alas they had no way of knowing that thier son would be concieved and raised amidst weird extra-dimensional exposure to the Terminus. Whose exotic entropic energies somehow allowed young Kirby to be able to "De-evolve" himself into a Simian-like form.

Wow, you guys are fast. Since we have two drainers and a telekinetic so far, I think I'll make an energy controller of some type. Perhaps a 12 year old girl from a very stable middle class family. She has a secret identity, but her parents know about her powers. Something like that.
I should have the character done in a few days.
Since Matter Eater is essentially Drain Toughness as well methinks if I play I will be coming up with something else.

A power I had been thinking about was possibly "Ectoplasm Control" which would allow him to physically control spirits and hock big slimey loogies at people.
Another Power Set that interested me was a kid who could eat anything and automatically metabolized it into increased size (getting fatter and fatter) but would slowly "burn it off". When hugely obese he is bigger and tougher and...well rounder. (hence bouncing)
It would look something like this:
----------Powers---------
Matter-Eater {Eat Anything} - Power Rank 6 - Cost 17 (2 * 6 + 5)
Extras: Stomach Storage
Growth {Living Large} - Power Rank 6 - Cost 7 (1 * 6 + 1)
Extras: Linked to Matter Eater
Flaws: Limit: Can only activate ranks equal to Toughness Drained, Fades
Power Feats: Slow Fade
AP: Acid {Barf} - Power Rank 6 - Cost 1 (0 * 6 + 1)
Extras: Range
AP: Strike {Chomp} - Power Rank 6 - Cost 1 (0 * 6 + 1)
Extras: Penetrating
Bouncing {Round Body} - Power Rank 3 - Cost 9 (3 * 3)
Extras: Impact Resistance
Flaws: Limited: Only while Grown
--------------------------------------
edit: I probably will have to edit The strike/bite as he would have to shrink to do it.

Emissary just flew apace with most of the others, looking over Freedom Hall with an open curiosity once everyone arrived.
"Are we to wait, or simply proceed ahead?"
"I think that Eagle guy is a member. But he flew ahead so fast I lost track of him." He then smiled. "Phasing in probably would be a bad idea huh???"

You guys can go on in and make yourself at home. Freedom Eagle can get you in. Daedalus will be there shortly. If you need anything from me, post here and I'll be happy to oblige.
I think we need a go ahead from Eagle...

The hallway is about 100' long and about 20' wide so an extended search would normally take 5 minutes. At Super Speed 4 you can search at 25x that speed . . . so about 12 seconds or 1 full round.
And there is a light switch near the door. You will have to switch it on to search. Is that what you want to do?
Yep!
