I would prefer to be a student and disregard the time frame, just assume that it happened the appropriate amount of time ago.
Gotcha. We can say the events of the movie (and conception) took place 15 years ago.
@EJ
Thoughts on either character idea?
Though Mothman is just crunch. I'm thinking his 'human' form is his disguise

I like the Guyver better, although Mothman makes a perfect supervillain.
Guyver it is then

Special Note: Oh, everyone, you own the Copyright on your hero -- although at least two are derivative right now (the Guyver and Chance Burton). You created your hero, it's yours to do as you wish.
I'll own the copyright on most of the villains you face. I still plan on using some villains (or at least their stats) from DC adventures. They will be Guest villains, part of a crossover. And some villains comes from Green Ronin Publishing's Rogues Gallery (the Alchemistress, the Syndicate, and Arctic Fox, for example).

Excellent! =)
How common are people with superpowers in this setting?Not very common. 1.5% of the population has superpower.
I'm not an Otaku about MHA, but I thought that the majority of the population had quirks. It's just that most people have less powerful quirks that aren't suitable for superheroing.

Exactly. :-)
Okay, I decided on the background for Batman. At first I was going to keep him completely away from DC inspiration, but my muse kept dragging me back.
-----
Wayne never what quirks his biological parents had. International adoptions often have paperwork issues and strange privacy laws. But Mama Lina and Mommy Lois loved him. He was a toddler when they figured out that he could be quiet. Too quiet. Mama Lina was pleased as punch about this and began setting up training. Not just focused on developing his power, but also making sure he could control it. Useful when the offensive part of his quirk came online.
That was one of the advantages of having a mother who was a security consultant. The fact that she had been a criminal was complicated. Another complication was that his other mother could literally smell when there was more to a story. But she taught him how to look deeper into things.
The early training really helped bring out his quirk, making him definitely Zion High Material. But the suit that Mama Lina got him helped put him over the top.

We can say the events of the movie (and conception) took place 15 years ago.Another option could be that some nefarious spell kept Gracie's pregnancy 'frozen in time'....causing Gracie to be able to do something most mothers can not do while scolding their child. Many mothers can use how long it took to give birth during labour, but most cannot say they carried their child for over a year (or in Gracie's case for over a decade).
With her unborn child's luck power keeping her safe in unbelievable ways during the years she was pregant with her child.
The above option can add some uniqueness to the mother-child dynamic even in a world of super-powered people.
Cool idea, thanks.

Interesting! I hadn't thought about copyright for PCs before. I suppose it's important, today!
By the way, was there anything further we needed to do in preparation?
By the way, was there anything further we needed to do in preparation?
No, I don't think so. I just need to see the rewritten origin story for Greekfyre.
Ok here's bird girl again only this time with her completed origin story and some other minor tweaks/additions.
Name: Ava Hawke
Alias: Talon
Gender: Female
Height: 5’5”
Power/Quirk: Bird of Prey
Origin: Inherited altered DNA
Appearance:
Casual Clothes
Hero Costume
Background:
Ava Hawke is the daughter of the villains Night Hawk and Shadow Falcon. They were originally the products of a secret project of a biotechnology company called The Animo Corporation to create superpowered soldiers by altering humans with animal DNA which was contracted by the military. They were thought to be a success at first but then their animal instincts began taking over, causing them to kill uncontrollably. When the military tried to have them killed they escaped and turned to a life of crime. When Ava was five her parents were arrested and since then she's grown up in foster care.
Growing up she became something of an outcast amongst her peers once they started to find out that her parents were supervillains. Some bullied her for it while others were scared of her. She would move around a lot due to being in the foster system but eventually people would always find out. She didn't have many friends until she was nine and discovered that she could talk to birds.
Around the same time her powers started to develop she moved into a group home run by a woman named Helena Sanders who was once the superhero named Lady Light, but she has retired from the life of a hero years ago. Ava became one of four foster children in her care and she was one of the kindest people Ava had ever met. For the first time in her life Ava felt at home. As Ava grew older more powers similar to those of her parents began to emerge.
Everything started to change for Ava when she started to develop the predatory instincts of a bird of prey. At first it wasn't all that noticeable, she was a little more aggressive than usual but what teenager isn't? It was only when she lashed out at one of her foster siblings with her talons that she and Helena realised something was wrong. Helena tried to help Ava learn to control it which helped, but only somewhat. It was clear she was in need of more guidance so Helena used some of her connections from her days as a hero to get Ava a place in Zion High School.
Complications:
Motivation: Ava wants to prove that she is nothing like her parents and can be a hero. She has a fondness for the natural world, especially birds and will oppose anyone that threatens nature.
Hunter’s Instincts: Ava’s more animalistic instincts are prone to taking over, particularly when she is angry. They cause her to lash out blinding without care for who she hurts. Ava fears that because of this she will turn into a villain like her parents.
Reputation (Villain Parents): There are some that are quick to judge Ava because of who her parents are and may treat her badly or fear that she will turn out like her parents.
Relationship (Helena Sanders): Helena has always been kind to Ava and has tried her best to help her keep her animal instinct in check. She could have cast Ava aside the first time she lost control of her powers but didn't and for that she will always be grateful. If she was ever in danger Ava would do whatever it takes to protect her.

She looks a lot better.
How unusual are the PCs in this universe?
If there are enough PL 10 teenagers in a world that they're in the same high school together, my first question is 'how has the Earth not yet been knocked off its orbit?' PL 10 is 'globally relevant superhero' even in extremely high-supers universe like Marvel and DC, and would be a global A-lister in slightly less bonkers places like MHA or Worm. Are our classmates already routinely making front-page news?
Ah, interesting question. The answer is, the students can't escape media attention all the time.
I hope it's not too late to submit something!
Here's my submission: Siphon
She's a power/vitality stealer in the same vein as Rogue except that she has control over whether or not she drains someone. Also, she *has* to drain people as a means of sustenance because she can't eat otherwise.
She's also a reformed villain.
The world sympathizes with a sick child, the Tepes discovered after Valerie was diagnosed with a rare disease that attacked her cellular mitochondria. When the disease confounded local doctors several years ago, Martin and Sonja Tepe resorted to crowd funding to raise money and awareness for their plight. They quickly became enamored of the attention and moderate celebrity, appearing on local talk shows and becoming the topic of various fluff pieces in the media. Valerie became more of an exhibit than a daughter to her parents.
Yet all the donations, fundraisers, and awareness campaigns could not actually cure her, and her health deteriorated. Martin and Sonja became more desperate, taking her anywhere someone would offer up a little bit of fame with an unusual diagnosis. But eventually interest in Valerie's condition waned as the quacks and pseudo-scientific hucksters piled up.
When Valerie turned fourteen and it became evident that she would not see her fifteenth, Dr. Sange arrived out of nowhere, offering a mysterious treatment that would save Valerie's life. He offered no fame, no publicity, only a chance at her continued living. The Tepes had, ultimately, no choice but to accept.
Valerie endured strange treatments, chemical baths, mysterious injections, and esoteric radiation treatments. It was a long, arduous process for her, full of strange sensations, discomfort, and pain.
When the treatment finally finished, Dr. Sange returned her to her parents, yet she appeared no better. She was gaunt, weak, and anemic, just as before the treatments. Yet, when they invited a childhood friend over for a visit, the moment she touched her, Valerie became instantly better, though Theresa became ill and sickly.
Dr. Sange appeared extremely pleased at this turn of events. Even though Valerie's sudden health began to wane after a few hours, Theresa took weeks to recover. The Tepes were outraged; they couldn't take any fame from Vanessa's unusual recovery if she could only gain vitality by stealing it from others.
When Valerie's parents attempted to confront Dr. Sange, he responded by presenting them a bill for the staggering costs of the treatment. He also quietly demonstrated that he had the resources to ensure that either they paid, or would suffer. It was then that he offered them a means to repay him. After some deliberation, Martin and Sonja Tepe agreed.
* * *
"It's going to be so easy," her mother told her reassuringly. "All you have to do is go with these people to the police station. You touch a few of the police officers, and you'll feel better. They'll go to sleep, and that way, these nice men will be able to recover some property that the police accidentally took. No one will be hurt, and you'll feel so much better." Valerie nodded dutifully as the car door closed. When the vehicle pulled away, she watched her mother and father hugging each other through the window. Then she turned and looked at the men in the car with her. All had been instructed not to touch her skin, so they looked at her uneasily.
Her mother was right. It had been easy, and she felt so much better afterward. She was dropped off by herself near the police station, giving her time to be found by an officer taking a smoke break. Her sickly complexion immediately got his attention and she was brought inside. Then she began to drain the life force from the cops, one by one. By the time she had absorbed half the night shift, she felt great. The men who dropped her off showed up and emptied the place of drugs, guns and other bits of vital evidence, and Valerie felt well for a whole week.
Dr. Sange came back several times, offering additional debt forgiveness if Valerie would assist various associates of his in the collection of this or that. Valerie would sate herself on security guards, bank employees, computer security chiefs, and others to access restricted areas.
The Tepes prospered. Their debts fully paid, they reaped untold profits by hiring out their daughter to whomever needed her special abilities. They moved from their moderate home in the suburbs to a grand estate in the hills. Living in the lap of luxury, Valerie's parents forced out any remorse for her wrongful acts, continuing to broker her villainous activities for their own profit.
After a little over a year of these clandestine activities, Valerie, going by the code-name of Siphon, went up against her first super-powered individual.
She was brought on to help raid a cargo ship and obtain some black-market weaponry being smuggled in from Santo Elto on behalf of the mysterious Mr. Cane. She was in the process of absorbing the ship's captain when a costumed do-gooder arrived on scene. In a burst of blue energy, the Azure Avenger appeared, sending the mercenaries scattering. Somehow aware of the smuggled shipment of outlaw hi-tech weapons, he effortlessly knocked around Mr. Cane's goons to keep the shipment out of villainous hands. However, not expecting to see such a young girl with these thugs, Azure didn't react in time to keep Valerie from touching him.
She siphoned off his blue-spectrum powers, incapacitating him and gaining a rudimentary control over Azure's light. Mr. Cane was able to recover most of the weapons, and Valerie sank the ship with the Azure Avenger aboard using his own energy beams. (He got better.)
Suddenly, Siphon was in the big leagues. Her asking price tripled, and that price quadrupled in the days after she had siphoned off one hero's power or another. Any time there was the fear of a super-powered do-gooder who might snoop around, Valerie was called in.
To adjust to the campaign's theme of a super hero high school, let me know if you would prefer Siphon to have put her villainous past away (maybe a hero catches her and pushes her to enroll in Zion since he recognizes that she's been manipulated by her parents), or maybe she's still expected to do villainous things on the side and after school by -- something that would disagree with her new relationships with more heroic-minded classmates.
Costume images will be forthcoming, but she usually wears a sleek black catsuit on jobs and will probably stick with that aesthetic.
I hope it's not too late to submit something!

It is almost too late. I'm ending recruitment tonight.
If the submission has to be finalized by tonight, I won't be able to. I'm out of town and won't be back home to get the book and update Siphon from PL 6 to PL 10 until the weekend.
Hopefully this won't be a deal-breaker, but if so happy gaming!

I can extend it to tomorrow night if you need more time, Siphon_!
Best not wait on me. I'm on a family vacation and only spotted this during a break. Unless SuperTumbler can pop in and adjust Siphon's stats (I relied on ST for the PL 6 stats) in the next day or so, I probably won't make the deadline.
I am working on Chance.
I still have a few points to spend, cleanup to do, and more background to write, but the gist of the character is there. Again, I have no experience with M&M, so I am open to feedback.

Okay. I still need to see your character write up and stats. Although I'm sure GM Supertumbler can also give you feedback if you ask.
Is there anything more we're waiting for?

Just Chance.
Do you mean something more than is in the link?
Still not sure what more you need that isn't in the link to my sheet.

Okay, I can choose. First of all, I wanted to mention that there was a great outpouring of human imagination during this recruitment. A lot more than I got for my recruitment for my D&D fantasy games, that's for sure! It wasn't boring to read your entries. It was like a real treat for me.
My Pathfinder recruitment for my Pathfinder games always had something of the same theme. Even with allowing all the classes, there wasn't enough imagination involved. I guess I was looking for something different when I started this game, and I got it. This will be a refreshing roleplay for me, since I get to use some villains I managed to acquire. Right now, the Zion High setting is in the DC Comics Universe. I'll explain why later. The city you are based in is Zion City. No, you're not going to meet Superman. You might see Batman though.
I'm looking for six heroes to make the cut for the Young Justice (Zion) team.
1. Caterina.
2. Greekfyre.
3. Jonathan Wraith.
4. Jessie Guyver
5. Batman.
6. Mach 3.
Sorry everyone whose heroes didn't make the cut. I know there are some disappointments, and I'd like to say all of your heroes were great. But you can save your hero in case this game takes off (the Superhero fantasy genre is different than the regular fantasy genre) I might do a spin-off and do something for Gotham City.
Congrats, all! Have a blast and keep me in mind if you should need another at a later date.
Okay,
OPEN RECRUITMENT FOR TWO (2) SUPER HEROES!
We are using M&M 3rd edition, because Fourth is currently in playtesting. The Universe is DC. Two of our players disappeared, and we are looking for two more to replace them.
Which characters are still playing? It looks like you have two armored suits, death magic user, and a speedster, right?
Can you repeat the character generation rules, or just link to posting and add any updates?
Thanks
Which characters are still playing? It looks like you have two armored suits, death magic user, and a speedster, right?
Yeah, right now, the active PCs are:
Jessie Kamiya, lady Guyver battlesuit transformer
Jaime aka Mach 3, speedster with an ironic penchant for being late
Parker Song aka Greekfyre, flying blasting scion of four fire gods
Catrina Ortiz aka Miss Calaveras, wielder of death magic
It's a fun group, come join the class!

Thanks
* One copy of Mutants and Masterminds Deluxe Heroes' Handbook (3e). I linked the place where you can get the PDF. It's Drivethru, Paizo. Use just the the Core Rulebook to develop your Hero. If you have power ideas beyond the core rulebook, then we can talk about it.
Origins. from what I saw of the interest check, there is an outpouring of human imagination when it comes to heroes! Come up with a origin for your hero and how he got his "quirk." I'll leave it up to you. Your quirk can be one power, or a number of powers related on one theme.
Age. You are all High School first years (Sophomores). But first, you need to test into Zion High School, so you will face fake villains as your test.
Costume. In Zion High, your Physical Education teacher may have you change into your costume for outdoor activities. Be creative in designing your costume. I also need you to design a costume and link a picture of it, so everyone can see it. If you lack drawing skills, you can also describe it or buy one of Storn Cook's illustrations from Drivethru. Also, you may have to come up with a Superhero name for your character. And yes, you all know each other, so if you need a secret identity, we can talk about that as well. Although I don't care if your costume is the sky.
Complications Remember, you need a motivation for adventuring, and another complication.
Power Level. We are using Power Level 10 to start. You are free to use the Archetypes on pages 34 through 49 of the M&M 3rd Core Rulebook if you need to figure out where to start.
Powers or Quirks. I know M&M 3e had booklets upon booklets describing certain powers. However, to make sure we are on the same page, I'd like you to stick to the Core Rulebook. IF you can't, again we can talk about it. I may have to try and get my M&M pdf collection from one of my thumb drives.
Advantages. Advantages in M&M 3rd are like feats in Pathfinder or D&D 3e. Try to pick Advantages that fit your concept.
GM Approval. I need to approve your hero for play. So feel free to make up more than one if your first concept doesn't fly.
Okay, that's it. Any questions?
What's the setting? I thought I read DC universe, but the Gameplay has Cable in it. Is it mash-up? Can I get a thumbnail description of the world, so I understand what myths to draw upon. I'm thinking about an Atlantean but want to understand where your Atlantis is.
PL 10, and 150 power points, right?
thanks

It's a bit of a crossover. It's still DC Universe. Cable is probably the only crossover so far from the Marvel Universe, and I'm keeping it that way. Because there is a Guyver in the game, there is a crossover with Yoshiki Takaya's Guyver: the Bioboosted Armor.
Atlantis is under the Atlantic Ocean, close by Bermuda. (Google Earth has the position of Atlantis.) Poseidonis, it's sister city, is 10 miles away to the North and is under the sea as well. Do you have a copy of DC Universe for the M&M RPG?
Batman is currently leader of the Justice League. I've always assumed Superman to be the leader, but apparently it's Batman. Also, it draws on the "Young Justice" T.V. show, the first season is available for 20 dollars downloaded from iTunes.
Batman handles Missions.
Black Canary is a therapist.
Cable handles training.
Professor Martin Stein (one half of Firestorm) teaches science.
Zion High is located in Independence, Missouri. It was commissioned by the Justice League to be a place to train metahuman teenagers. There are two boom tubes that connect, secretly, to several cities around the US and to the Watchtower.
Enemies so far included Zoanoids, but I'm planning to draw heavily on the DC Universe for enemies.
Please find Uthor, prince of Venturia, described in the Profile for submission to the game.
Cheers
Jubal

Looks good, Jubal. Have you decided on a Superhero name for him yet? Also, he needs a costume. Does he dress in the manner of Aqualad?
Yes. I linked a picture of Garth on the profile.
No. Uthor hasn’t really accepted the superhero role that Aquaman has put in front of him. His secret identity is a prince of Atlantis. Part of his personal plot is the acceptance of the superhero role and accepting a name is part of that plot.

I just did.
Just in case there is still an open spot, this was my original submission:
-----Description:-----
Chance is a good-looking kid with bright blue eyes and sandy blonde hair. Even at this young age, he has the strong jaw of his father, Jack Burton. He has an easy smile as if he doesn't have a care in the world. Well-worn cowboy boots, jeans and a Harley Davidson t-shirt are his go-to. And like his father, he would not be caught dead wearing anything with sleeves, much to his mother's dismay.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------
-----Luck(Rank:4)(Subtle:2)(20):-----
• Party Luck: You can spend a hero point or use Luck on another character’s behalf, with the normal benefits.
• Misfortune: You can spend a hero point or use Luck to force someone else to re-roll a die roll and take the worse of the two rolls. The target of this last effect may spend a hero point or use Luck to avoid having to re-roll.
• Charmed Life: You’re largely immune to routine “bad luck”. You never get a flat tire, have to wait in line, or run into delays due to traffic accidents or weather.
• Gambler: You can automatically win at games of chance, unless pitted against an opponent with this Feature (in which case, resolve the game normally).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
• Lucky Shot(1): You can pull off an otherwise “impossible” shot. Your rank in this power determines the maximum effect of the attack: use the lower of the two, if they differ.
---Lucky Shot: Enhanced Extra(Perception Range), Variable Descriptor(Attacks), Ricochet(+1 point), Quirk(Limited to Lower of Attack or Extra’s Rank, –1 point) Quirk(Limited to Ranged Attacks, –1 point)• 1 point per rank
-------------------------------------------------------------------
• Visions of Fortune: You can sense a subject’s future in terms of good and bad luck and probable outcomes: the GM tells you if the subject’s luck is trending good or bad(or remaining largely neutral). A Perception check may be required for more detailed information, and the GM may also grant you spontaneous visions or impressions from time to time. This power is also a good means for receiving inspiration.
---Senses4(Precognition), Limited to Luck Trends • 2 points
-------------------------------------------------------------------
• Perfect Timing(1): You have an uncanny knack for showing up in the right place at the right time, whether it is an opportunity to run into someone you need to speak to or a last-minute save for a friend in need. You can do this a number of times per adventure equal to your rank. Like a number of luck powers, this one relies on some management by the Gamemaster, who decides when it comes into play, although you can offer suggestions and perhaps modify circumstances with a hero point used to further edit the scene. It is up to you and the GM to agree upon a plausible explanation for how you “happen” to show up where and when you do.
---Feature (Edit Scene to appear in it) • 1 point per rank
-------------------------------------------------------------------
• Lucky Escape(2)(1 week): You have an uncanny knack for survival, even in the face of certain death. Any time your character would die, you can return sometime later (determined by your effect rank) so long as you can provide a plausible explanation—no matter how outlandish—of how you survived.
---Lucky Escape: Immortality, Limited to Circumstances of Plausible Survival • 1 point per rank
• Lucky Escape II(5): For some characters, this power not only saves them from death but even from serious injury: What initially looks like an injury turns out to be far less serious. Perhaps it was just a graze, or something in your pocket or environment blocked the attack.
---Lucky Escape II: Healing, Limited to Self, Subtle 2 • 2 points + 1 point per rank
-------------------------------------------------------------------
| Origin: Innate Magic | Source: Chinese Sorcery |
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-----Senses(13):-----
• Vision-Extended(2): -1/1000'
• Vision-Counters Concealment(5): This sense ignores all Concealment effects, regardless of descriptor. Concealed subjects seem slightly “off” to you, enough to know they are concealed to others.
• Vision-Penetrates Concealment(4): This sense is unaffected by concealment from obstacles.
• Darkvision(2): You can see in complete darkness as if it were normal daylight; darkness provides no concealment to your vision.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-----Movement(4):-----

-----Background:-----
Chance is the son of Jack Burton and Gracie Law. He was conceived while Jack was under the influence of a magic potion provided by Egg Shen, who Chance knows as Uncle Egg. Unbeknownst to Chance, this magic was passed on to him in the form of extreme good fortune. He uses it to do a few card tricks and has no idea why he has been invited to Zion High. But his mother insisted that he try and his Uncles Egg and Wang encouraged him, so he is willing to try it out.
Chance doesn't know it, but he is now a central figure in a millennia-old feud between Egg Shen and Ch'ing-ti. Egg is the human avatar of Caishen, a Chinese god of Luck. They have gambled on mortals before and Egg lost the last wager when Lo-Pan turned out not to be worthy. Ch'ing-ti will attempt to sway Chance, in order to prove to Egg that mortals are inherently immoral. Meanwhile, Egg will encourage and guide Chance towards wisdom and hopefully, heroism.
