Well, color me surprised.

Somewhat off the heels of a rather disappointing superhero rp saga and an underappreciated standalone superhero rp comes what is probably the most lore-packed superhero rp on the boards, which packs everything except the kitchen sink into its premise and worldbuilding. There’s been enough of a lull that this has a shot at surviving, and given the presentation this isn’t going to be some half-baked attempt or a self-insert power fantasy.

I’m already considering a few different options for a character, but before I make a full sheet there’s a couple of questions I wanted to ask first.

How many characters can we have at once? Some RPs limit the characters per player to something like three, two, or in some cases just one. I seriously doubt I’d have more than three characters in this since I’d likely not try to break the mold with their designs, but I figured I should ask.

This is a really tough question to answer, but is there any powers that are going to be “off-limits”? This is definitely a case-by-case basis and probably varies on the individual presenting, but the only powers you’ve listed as being ridiculous or unacceptable are absurd things like Green Lanterns and New Gods or Speedsters, but if I were to port over a character like Fever, would the implications be too extreme?
(If I were to port over Fever I’d throw him through the ringer again. He’s a pretty flawed character and playing him in-rp deviated from his initial concept a lot. Plus, I don’t think this rp is the right environment for someone like him.)

I’ll try to get a character sheet up soon.
