Here ya go. Let me know if you want me to change/expand anything.

Name: Davis Johnson

Description: Davis is around 5'11. He has longish black hair that goes to the back of his neck, with very very blue eyes. He is thin, but has some muscle on him. He usually dresses in slightly baggy blue jeans, a red t-shirt with a leather jacket over it and black Converse. He also carries a carries a specially made sword that he can channel electricty down the blade, adding to its cutting power.

Bio: Davis has lived in Harbour City since he was born, 22 years ago. He lived with his parents and his older sister in a apartment in the middle class part of the city. This all changed when the Darkness hit. After it was over, while Harbour City was in disarray, some burglars decided to break into his apartment, killing his mother and father (his sister had moved out about 2 years before). Seeing his parents killed awakened his powers, accedentally killing the burglars. He ran to his sisters house, who convinced him to turn himself in the the government. He did, and they took him away for "questioning". While in the hands of the fed's they experimented on him and forced him to do tests for them. He escaped from the government around 6 months later, and has been hiding in the slums of Harbour City ever since.

Power: Electric manipulation, includes shooting electric blasts from his hands, controlling static electricity.

Weakness: Davis's weakness is water. Drinking a glass won't hurt him, but anymore than that will start to kill him.

Armour: Makes an electrical current around his body in a 5 foot radius protecting him harm and shocking anyone that gets close.

Limit break: Absorbs all electricity in an area and then uses it to increase speed and reflexs and powers. Problem with it is that it severely exhausts Davis and removes all electricty from the area, making his powers useless until he leaves the area.
the weakness is meant to be something caused by the power e.g. my character not being able to touch things without corroding them (except for some things e.g. glass, the suit designed for him).
Oh ok. Changed it.

description: 5ft. 11 in., long shoulder length jet black hair tied back in a pony tail, athletic build,

bio: 21 years old male born to immigrant parents who ran an antique shop in harbor city powers were discovered at the age of 12 when they went out of control and burned down his parents shop killing them he has a slightly unstable personality due to guilt felt over the death of his parents taught control through martial arts by a friend of the family a martial arts master

powers: control and generation of fire due to nature of power immunity from burns and high temperature


weakness: large amounts of water if completely soaked or submerged in water powers will not work


armor: lava armor generate huge flame melting the rock and cement around him forming a malleable armor of lava rock and a staff of rock

limit break: Armageddon rains down large fiery comets that can level 3 city blocks leaves him completely drained and unable to use his powers for 30 hours thus leaving him vulnerable to burns
Well. Where to start...
Flesh this out. Please. Copy/Paste it to Microsoft Word to fix the myriad grammatical problems, and then make your character a little more...believable. And while the base power is fine, fix the damn Limit Break. This is supposed to be an ultimate attack, yes, but it shouldn't force the US government to send the SWAT after you. Give me more of a description-when I read your desc., I want to be able to picture your character. Give me everything from weird scars to his normal attire! Look at my character sheet if you need a little help. Also, I think it would help you to put in a personality, to better mold your powers. While fire control is fine, it is a completely different thing than magma or lava. This last part is optional, but for the sake of the thread, please place your character sheet within a spoiler text, like all the others. As it is now, this sheet will not be accepted. Thank you for your co-operation.
Name: Samuel "sunny" wakamlao

Description: 5ft. 11 in., long shoulder length jet black hair tied back in a pony tail, athletic build, body is heavily scarred from 9 years of intense training .He has a kind face and appears trust worthy. He is usually seen wearing a white tank top with an open red button up shirt, black pants, black and white sneakers, and a necklace with two rings hanging from it (his parent?s wedding rings which miraculously survived the fire).

Bio: 21 year old male born to immigrant parents who ran an antique shop in harbor city. Powers were discovered at the age of 12 when they went out of control and burned down his parents? shop killing them. He was adopted by a friend of the family, a martial arts master. He was taught control through martial arts and brutal training. He is not employed but works odd jobs to make money. He is attempting to fix up the ruins of his parents shop wanting to one day reopen it.

Personality: he is burdened with the guilt that he caused his parents death. But maintains a cheery personality and uses humor to hide his pain.

Powers: control and generation of fire. The nature of his power allows immunity from burns and high temperatures due to high body temperatures germs cannot survive in him rendering him immune to most disease.

Weakness: large amounts of water. If completely soaked or submerged in water powers will not work (does not affect disease immunity)

Armor: surrounds himself with a living flame that protects him from damage ,and burns everything within a 8in. radius

Limit break: Max Burn increases his powers by 10x but leaves him completely drained and unable to use his powers for 30 hours thus leaving him vulnerable to burns and other injuries he would not normally sustain (does affect disease immunity)
first edit i suck with grammar but i think i caught all the mistakes.

Thank you, that is much better. Just don't be afraid to use possessive pronouns or just pronouns in general. Is english a secondary language for you?

no i just went to a very poor school district that didn't focus on the basics of grammar until about 11th grade. and i'm from the southern united states so half the kids at my school only spoke Spanish. and then my parents are Asian immigrants so grammar wise i have the deck stacked against me and thanks for the advise

If not that day then the day after, I garuantee it. The GM and myself have to discuss the sheets, and we're about 6 hours apart. That setup is phenomenal for updates, as there is almost a 100% chance at least one of us will be awake and able to respond at any time, but it can be a small hurdle when selecting sheets. Don't worry, I'm a Clock King [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ClockKing] when I need to be.

[HEADING=1]STOP THE PRESSES[/HEADING]
Unless the deadline was midnight on the 7th, that means I still have 13 hours and 40 minutes to write up a coherent character sheet and post it, presuming we're working on GMT here.

Name: Jennifer Souse (Prefers to be called Jen)

Physical Description: Standing at 5?6, Jen has shoulder length dark brown hair, usually left hanging free, cornflower blue eyes and very pale skin. Since she became a shadow, she has taken to not wearing shoes, and wears skinny blue jeans with a tiffany blue jacket.

Bio: Originally from the English coastal town of Penzance, Jen lived there for sixteen years[footnote]If this is one year afterwards, she is now seventeen[/footnote] before the great darkness. She lived in a house with a garden that backed onto the beach, and enjoyed the calmness that swimming gave her, even on cold or stormy days. After it lifted, Jen found herself to be perfectly normal, and was relieved, because there could nothing worse to happen as a teen trying to be normal like everyone else than developing a potentially dangerous ability, except cancer or some other debilitating disease.
Jen continued her life as normal for a while afterwards, but on the first day she returned to school, due to the lack of knowledge about shadows, and the public's panic about the emerging dangers, she was part of a randomly selected number, detained and tested, then forced to her limits, and deemed ?Low Risk?. She was relocated to Harbour City for her own protection due to the persecution showed by some members of the public who were fearful and violent towards the new species of person after reading sensationalist stories[footnote]That totally weren't in the Daily Mail...
>.>
<.<[/footnote] about atrocities committed by those driven insane by their new abilities, to a house near the docks in the south-east of the city, where she now lives with her parents and brother. She spends most of her time at a lake inland, about a mile into the forest, and out of sight of the city.

Personality: Jen has been reclusive since the incident, but is usually unpredictable to all but those who know her well. She may seem calm on the surface, but may actually be boiling with rage lower down. Her mood can change in a matter of moments from serene and easy to deal with to a much more tumultuous state.

Power: Jen has the power to manipulate water in all of its forms. Her primary use of her power involves condensing water out of the air, and then shooting a tendril of water towards a target using a limb such as an arm or leg as a focal point to direct it. This can also be used without directing it via her body, though this is much less precise, and is only really useful for creating a bubble of water in an area. She is also heavily conductive of electricity, and isn?t harmed by it, except at extremely high voltages.

Weakness: Obviously, intense heat and fire are big no-nos, and in general, dry areas are uncomfortable for Jen. Going too far from a large body of water won?t kill her, but she becomes very sluggish and anxious is she goes more than a few hours without access to a pool of some sort.

Armour: Jen has odd armour, or rather, a lack of armour. She becomes fluid herself, though retains her physical shape, and any projectile launched at her will simply pass through.

Limit break: Water pours like a flood from Jen?s every orifice, and blasts from her hands, the rate increasing as time continues, until the entire area is submerged. If in a room, the water will hold itself back from open doors and windows, and currents will wash anyone back towards the middle, drowning everyone inside, save anyone lucky enough to find an air supply. If performed outside, the water will form a dome with a roughly fifteen meter radius.

The cost of this however, is great. If she doesn?t get to a large supply of water within ten minutes of performing the limit break, she will begin to dry up, with desiccation cracks forming on her skin, and eventually she will be halted in place until she is submerged for two days.
Here be the sheet. I'll edit it it to the best of my ability if told before the deadline closes. (If it hasn't closed already)

This goes for anyone reading it. If you think my character is overpowered or lacking in some way, I'll edit in a fix.

After it lifted, Jen found herself to be perfectly normal, and was relieved, because there could nothing worse to happen as a teen trying to be normal like everyone else than developing a potentially dangerous ability, except cancer or some other debilitating disease.
Jen continued her life as normal for a while afterwards, but on the first day she returned to school, she got into an argument with someone in the lunch hall, and had a glass of water thrown at her. In return, she accidentally hit her limit break, and killed everyone within the room that didn?t get out in time. Fleeing home in a panic afterwards, she ran into the sea to calm herself. A week after the ?Humphry Davy Drowning? she was detained and tested, forced to her limits, and deemed ?Low Risk? as she seemed to not have a limit break, and it was determined that the event had been caused by a different shadow that had fled afterwards, and it was mere luck that her power had extended to being able to breathe underwater.
Despite being deemed low risk, her name would be noticed to not be on the list of the deceased, and an enraged parent would possibly want to exact revenge. She was relocated to Harbour City for her own protection, to a house near the docks in the south-east, where she now lives with her parents and brother. She spends most of her time at a lake inland, about a mile into the forest, and out of sight of the city.

can you just make it someone else in the class used their limit break and she was just lucky to survive because you(as in everyone) are meant to unlock your armour and limit break later in the story as required/suitable.

Ugh, fine if you so insist.
Jeez! Why do you have to make everything so hard for me?!
[sub]Yeah, sure, it's no problem. Give me a little while to think up a suitable alternative for her to get shipped over.[/sub]

EDIT: Betterer?

OH! Also, her surname is pronounced "Soos" rather than "Sooz" or "Sows"

can you just make it someone else in the class used their limit break and she was just lucky to survive because you(as in everyone) are meant to unlock your armour and limit break later in the story as required/suitable.
Ugh, fine if you so insist.
Jeez! Why do you have to make everything so hard for me?!
[sub]Yeah, sure, it's no problem. Give me a little while to think up a suitable alternative for her to get shipped over.[/sub]

EDIT: Betterer?

OH! Also, her surname is pronounced "Soos" rather than "Sooz" or "Sows"
yes that is better thanks! also remember tonight or tomorrow will be the announcements of who is in and out.

Name: Damien Lier

Description: Standing tall at 6'3", Damien often looks down upon most people through his storm grey eyes. His raven black hair always contrives to keep itself short, while his face manages to show tiredness even when he is fully alert. He has managed to keep fat off his body, resulting in an athletically muscular body best described as streamlined. A strange cross-like scar mars the back of his right hand, while a massive scar runs down Damien's left shoulder to his left hip. Damien's usual attire includes snow-white sneakers, comfortable black sweatpants that are easy to move around in, a dark blue shirt, and finally a white hoodie with a tribal tattoo right over his heart.

Bio: At age 21, Damien isn't really surprised by much anymore. He was born in Los Angeles, and fell in with a gang, like so many teens there. A month before The Darkness, Damien was betrayed and left for dead by his best friend, Aron, in an attempt to save his own skin. Fortunately for Damien, a nearby apartment had been set on fire and a passing ambulance heard his screams of rage. Damien then spent the entire month and The Darkness within bed, trying to rehabilitate shredded muscles. After The Darkness rose, Damien felt a change within himself. This was confirmed when he managed to cut himself loose from the restraining bands with his shadow. He looked to seek revenge upon Aron, but found out later he was poisoned to death by a chimera. From that point on, Damien always had a liking of the fanciful beasts. He decided to cross the Deadlands, to train his power and to escape the memories. He eventually made it all the way across to Harbour City, on the other side of the country with nothing but his powers and his motorcycle.

Personality: Damien is usually quite cutting and to the point, often without regard for the feelings of others. He doesn't enjoy screwing around much and would rather just get to the matter at hand.

Power: Shadow Blades- Damien's power is the epitome of the 'Shadow'- that is, it uses his own shadow as material. Damien is able to form and control a blade within the radius of his shadow. He is able to stretch his shadow to make it thinner, but any thinner than a centimeter and the blade would shatter. Damien is also able to use any shadows touching his own shadow to increase the length. Finally, he is able to form multiple blades, but each one adds up to the length of his shadow.

Weakness: Because of the basis for his powers, Damien is weakest at noon, when his shadow is smallest, and in total darkness, where his shadow is nonexistent, a shadow requiring light to exist, after all. Multiple bright lights centered on him would also banish his shadow. The paler his shadow is, the weaker the integrity of the blades.

Armor: Damien's shadow blades become autonomous, blocking or parrying any attack that gets too close. These blades count little towards his shadow consumption.

Limit Break: This trick requires blood to activate- the more sacrificed, the more powerful it is. Casts the surrounding area in complete darkness. This is the only time when Damien is able to form blades with no light upon him.

Name: The Hive (folk name)
Chris Moncoon (chris-ALIS CO-coon)

Description: 5ft tall, thick-boned. He has features that may make him seem untrustworthy, but he is attractive enough. He moves with a slight slouch. He has rashes around his wrists and the abnormally large veins in his arms. Those are the only things that make him look different from a normal human in his unchanged form. He has pale-white skin with the rashes i mentioned earlier on his arms and veins popping up more than normal. He has Gordon Freeman-green eyes, blood-red hair which grows in a curiously spiky way, naturally. It can never be straightened (Not saying he wants it that way, it just can't be made to look ''sensible''). He speaks as if he has a constant supply of phelgm (sp?) in his throat, often coughing it up into peoples faces as a means of non-lethal defense, and a definite sign of his own disgust. Even before he gained his power he had a tendency to keep at things until they break or wear away, and has a very fast metabolism. In terms of clothing, he merely wears a brown, jacket with ripped sleeves, a white shirt and a blue pair of jeans, ripped in the knees. he chooses not to wear shoes, as they seem to cause him some discomfort. Personality wise, merely follows the orders of others, however becoming extremely defensive at the risk his family may be endangered. Other than this, he has a happy enough personality, however being very cynical, often to the annoyance of others. He would rather not interact with people at all, but when he does, he makes conversations as it puts them at ease, somewhat.

Bio: He never knew his family other than his sister, who looked after him until he was 8 years old, then, beleiving he was mature enough even at the tender age of 8, left him to do what he wanted in life, she would have preferred him to get a job in the city, but he chose to stay in the forest. He gained his power from the shadow, as normal, while the shadow was present, he merely hid with some gathered food, on the last day of darkness he developed into a small chrysalis on the day it cleared he broke out, something within him had changed. He is now 16 years old, and living alone in the forest, only going into Harbour city when he is in need of a certain supply. The forest in which he lives is south, as you said. He saves those who are attacked by muggers, bandits or creatures in the forest, but otherwise is a bit of a misanthrope. His sister is still alive, and lives with her husband and 3 children, of whom Chris protects. None of them are affected by the shadow, and thus have no powers. In terms of political views (shadow>human/shadow<human) he chooses mainly not to get involved. As he beleives the whole thing to be very immature of everyone, describing it as ''petty squabbling'' and often only chooses to end conflicts, himself being the last one standing, worried that either side could possibly endanger his family at one point. He chooses not to take other powers, as he beleives himself to be insane enough, again bringing up the desire not to cause his family any harm.

Power: Similar to Bioshock's insect swarm, but the insects are always being produced inside of him. And he has a limited supply, only restored by eating and resting, not by EVE. The insects he produces are locust-like and fly or hop to their targets, and devour the flesh of it in seconds, rather than using venom, like bees or hornets. He has a certain degree of communication with insects, often having short conversations with them in english, of which the insects do not understand. He uses signals to command their movements. His senses of movement and balance are increased somewhat, and he is more agile than the normal human, able to climb walls easily and jump 20 feet into the air. Like an insect, he can survive falls from high places, despite his human size. When i say senses, i include the five touch, smell, hearing etc. He has pale, green blood.

The cost: If he sends out too much insects at a time his arms will begin to bleed and he will become increasingly tired and weak, eventually passing out. Having too many insects released at once can burst his veins, disabling his power for a day while they repair. Some people beleive he is the one who has insects destroy their crops. The main cost is sanity, thus he chooses to use his power as little as possible to protect his relatives from himself. He often visits witch doctor to obtain medication for this. His problem is dementia, and thus he fears he may forget his own family or mistrust them. This is one reason he chooses to stay away from them. Not to mention he despises fire, as his skin is more sensitive and it destroys his swarms.

The Armour: Large, yellow wings and rough, cracked skin covering his entire body, capable of reflecting beam attacks and resisting physical attacks. Bones are stronger and his veins pulse with energy. There are thorn-like protrusions coming out of the back of his forearms and some coming out of the front of his shin. His armour is alot less visible than it may be for other shadows.

Limit breaker: He becomes a chrysalis temporarily, taking 2 hours to transform. Once transformed a man-size moth-like creature emerges. With the ability to shoot odd laser beams and command other insects. It flaps it's wings with great intensity to cause sound waves capable of temporarily deafening normal humans. He has full control over this power, except overdoing things a bit sometimes. He is capable of recognising his allies through is compoundeyes and is almost impossible to sneak up on because of his greatly enhanced senses, mostly due to a possesion of 2 large, fern-like antennae. Once he uses up all of his energy, his body undergoes a transformation to a useless, larval form. Unable to move, he must wait 2 weeks minimum to return to his human form. Before changing back, he must find a safe place to land, as he is very vulnerable in this state.

Name: Thomas Crimp.
Description: Thomas isn?t attractive but isn?t too ugly either. He is tall even when hunched which he hardly ever isn?t. He is thin even going so far as gaunt in places and one of his eyes is lazy (oddly enough it isn?t always the same eye but it is always one). He has iron grey and wiry hair everywhere it shouldn?t be but little if any where you would normally expect it. His eyes are deep large and brown. His voice is unbelievable, it can go from as smooth as lubricated silk to razor sharp and mallet blunt in seconds. This is a person who knows how to talk far better than they can dress.
His skin was once white but is oddly grey now.
He carries a cane due to a limp in one leg, again like the lazy eye which leg it is seams to vary on an arbitrary basis.
Bio: Thomas was born 57 years ago. Exactly where is hard to say Thomas is so good at doing accents his original one if he ever uses it is indistinguishable from any of the others. But where isn?t important. What is what it was like there for Thomas, not so good.
It isn?t that Thomas wasn?t trying to make friends. The others just weren?t interested. When most people find out they don?t fit in they try somewhere else. Thomas pushed harder.
No matter how hard he pushed he never fit. He tried to understand them, all of them, everything there was to know he learnt.
He knew how they thought and acted but it still didn?t work.
Then he realised, these people were assholes.
The whole process only gave him two things.
1-Pretty hard skin
2-One hell of an interest in what makes people tick. This lead to him getting masters in both human psychology and drama.
Power:
Tom?s powers are rather interesting. Turns out being a bit mentally broken can have its advantages when everyone?s personality defects are giving them powers.
His obsession over how others think has led to an unnatural sense of empathy. If he can create a link with someone either by talking or by looking them in the face (which is by far the better option) then he can create an emotional bond.
Depending on who can see or hear who the link makes every emotions and feeling of whoever can be scene completely clear (of course someone as good an actor as Tom might not be being honest) and more than that it allows for complete empathy the observer can feel everything the observed is going through as if they were going through it themselves (which they technically are).
Secondly always shrugging off insults like that made him pretty good at getting over things, all the shadows did was make it a little more literal. In other words Tom is a healer, he gets over things rejection bullet wounds that sort of thing.
It?s pretty slow but it?s bloody comprehensive.
weakness: Tom?s powers have their limits as does he himself. For one he is both visually and mechanically impaired. As well as this his powers don?t exactly help him fight one is enough to overpower him and his regeneration while faster than normal still isn?t going to hold up under continued assault. Also his other powers require at least a vocal connection with the target and if this is broken he must rely on his lasting impression.
Limit break: Breakdown,
The target?s mind is broken simple as. Unfortunately this means Tom loses all control over the target and any future attempts to control them are futile. Insanity is pretty permanent.

Name: Ezekiel Fried, Operates under the name Red Chance

Description: Young at 18 and not very tall at 5"11' with a medium build and a thick uneven Mohawk with a slight red tinge. Constantly complains that he's freezing, wears leather fingerless gloves one black and one white, heavy black coat with a hood lined with fur and jeans. Two 9mm pistols on his waist and a 12 gauge shotgun strapped to his back. Carries two red dice at all times.

Bio: Born in the slums of Harbour city Red never cared much about life or anything really besides sleeping and games of chance. He slept through the majority of the week of Darkness, complaining that is was cold and didn't last long enough. After the darkness was lifted, Red felt no different if anything he felt worse, annoyed and bored he found an illegal dice game and quickly started winning big, too big as several of the player's felt he had been cheating and shot him in the head... twice. One year passed before Red woke up, the bullets had damaged his brain but had missed the most vital regions. The damage done to his brain unfortunately left him slightly crazy, prone to hallucination's, short-term memory, confusion and general oddness. The doctor's decided that while in his state of mind he was a danger to society and prepared to lock him in a mental facility, as luck would have it a nearby Shadow lost control of his powers and caused an explosion that allowed Red to escape. Never quite in control of himself Red occasionally found himself for hire by various criminal organization's and soon found himself enjoying the mayhem and destruction he created.

Personality: Crazy and unable to take anything seriously often getting distracted or forgetting what he was doing, carefree he often speaks his mind regardless of the situation or appropriateness. He enjoys the mayhem and confusion of Chaos and occasionally refers to himself as it's incarnation.

Power: Affect probability in his favor by making improbable (but not impossible) things to occur within his line of sight

Weakness: Highly Mentally Unstable, Probability is not always on his side, cannot affect the probability of something of he is unaware of it.

Armour: The odds are even more in Red's favor as his ability subconscious alerts him to nearby danger's.

limit break: Red can temporarily force himself to regain complete sanity and bend probability to his will forcing the most insanely of improbable of events to occur. Red clams "sanity hurts" and will go completely insane for at the minimum of 12 hours, though often longer, and become a danger to everyone.

Name: Jason Cole (a.k.a Soul)

Description: Jason has dark black hair and bright red eyes. His teeth are sharpened, and his ears end in points. He normally wears a black leather jacket, and dark black pants. Jason wears dark black gloves, and a mask, shaped to look like a demons face.

Bio: Jason is 17, and was born in Harbor City. Jason used to be a normal kid, hanging out with friends in his spare time, and playing guitar in the City square. During the Great Darkness, Jason lost everyone... his friends, family, anyone he had been close to before the Darkness. They were lost to monsters, beings that were normally thought to be extinct. Jason looked for them after the week, but there was no trace of them, the only thing Jason could find was the blood of his family spread against his living room walls.

Jason went insane, having lost all of his friends and family, he went off on his own into the Deadlands, surviving for three weeks on his own before recently returning to Harbor City. Jason was changed in the weeks he spent in the Deadlands, his eyes taking on a blood-red hue, and his teeth growing sharper. During that time, Jason learned of his new power and managed to mast a few of its stages.

Recently, Jason has been laying in wait, waiting for something to occur. It was during this wait, that Jason heard of the Shadow Guardians, a group bent on overthrowing the government. Jason has decided to look into this new group.

Power: Jason has control over shadows and darkness, able to manipulate the shadows to his own will. Jason can morph the shadows into a solid object or any form that he wishes, and then change it back into shadows at will. Jason can also morph the shadows onto his body, creating a whip or any other number of weapons. Jason can also use shadows as a form of transportation, using a group of shadows much like a teleporter to another group of shadows.

Weakness: The process of changing shadows from a solid form to their original form is time consuming. It takes a few seconds for the change to take place, and during that change the shadows can easily be cut through.

Armour: Jason can wrap himself in shadows, creating a suit of near impenetrable shadow armor, but he can only maintain the suit for a limited amount of time.

Limit Break: When Jason uses his limit breaker, his shadows become stronger and more deadly, Jason also becomes faster. If someone is hit with one of Jason's shadows while he is using his limit break, they will be poisoned, polluting their body and soul with darkness which will slowly eat away at their soul until nothing is left but anger and darkness.
will get to go into the RP everyone else will be lined up and shot get a bonus price in the town square.
RULES:
1. You will be told when you can start using your armour or limit break until you are told you can only use your basic powers
2. Run everything through spell-check before posting (or my Co-GM will shoot you)
3. Remember if you do something that me and the Co-GM see as overpowered you will suffer from and equal and opposite consequence.
4. Have fun or I will shoot you

me and the Co-GM still have to discuss when/how to start the RP

sorry somehow left you out you are actually in the RP but some how I somehow quoted the same person twice
