So we pick a catagory, power is random of 16 in that catagory and strength is also random as a 1d8+2 and every time we get a power even if it's a power we've had before we roll strength again.

In the future we could get say mirror mirror at a 3.

Of course we can limit break and remove bonuses from a roll to roll a 1d8+4 and presumably by regular roll you mean crisis roll so it's a dc 70 with no bonuses.

did I get that right?

Also can we limit break outside stressful situations?

You can limit break any time you want to remove the bonuses from your other powers.

To the first part, no. The categories are what you chose however even you, much like Eidolon, don't have unlimited amounts of power. You have relatively strong powers with your weakers powers still being decent and your upper end being triumvirate tier or even beyond if you break your limits.

Each time you break your limit you have to reroll all your powers (yeah no stockpiling those 11 and 12s). Your powers are fixed, as I said I made a list of powers on a sheet to make life easier for all of us.

Got it, so the actual power level of a given powe is hard set then?
 
Okay, so plan is survive whatever horrors we are about to be immedietly faced with then experiment ruthlessly to see what permanent buffs we can nab, passives we can stack, etc.

    • You sigh as you activate one of your powers and got ready in seconds as many impressions of you hurried around to get ready for school. With a grin you climbed down to give your mother a hug and a kiss before sitting down for breakfast, maybe the powers from the terrible day weren't that bad, your family: (Roll-16, DC 70. Failed change)

    [] Had recently moved to Japan from the States. (Gain American Heritage in case of ???)

    [] Had been living in Japan for generations. (Gain Japanese Heritage in case of ???)

    Quickly finishing off your breakfast you were off to school, you had chosen to wear a pair of sunglasses to hide your eyes, looking into the mirror you smiled with a twitch of your eyes. Two Blue flashlights stared right back at you, still reflecting light.

    You moved on with another sigh, going towards the school. The school was not hell like you had expected it to be, superimposed versions of yourself happily attended classes and slipped away whilst you safely rested in the mirror dimension looking around for things to do while the school got over with no real importance, you were never bothered by the few friends that you did have chose to protect you from unwilling enquiries and averted their eyes from your blue ones. It was touching, but you found it... hard to care about after the event.

    Come evening as you were heading home you were stopped during the walk home by some men from the Yakuza, they wanted to talk to you. Now. (Roll-76, DC 70. Changed.)

    Mover 10 - Combat Port, you have a sensory range of 50 meters, any moment an attack enters that range you teleport 100 meters away to a safe spot. Will not happen if the attack is not fatal and you wish to stay still.
    Shaker 10 - Telekinesis, you have the ability to mentally lift, move and apply crushing pressure within your line of sight. You can affect living beings and can manipulate objects weight up to 5000 Tonnes.

    Your badly concealed panic gave way to a small smirk as you gazed the Yakuza members, looking into their eyes you smiled a small smile, "Tell him I said no," With an easy application of Telekinesis they were in their car before they could respond. [Gained Yakuza attention] It was sad that the Unwritten Rules were weak in Japan but at the same time, you could not bother to care as you left for your home, still nonchalant and unconcerned about the Yakuza.

    Going back home you were finally pondering about it all, you had no small amount of powers, by your own observation you could change your power freely to two others depending on need and want. There was one other Parahuman famous for doing exactly that, your mouth went dry as his name got caught alongside a lump in your throat, "Eidolon..." A soft whisper finally escaped your mouth before blue eyes stared back at you from the mirror.

    (This vote doesn't exactly fix the alignment.)

    [] Path of the Hero, Japan was crawling with villains, the only reason they didn't take over was the organised Yakuza controlling the underworld and refusing to cede power to the newer Parahumans. How far would they go if they were left untouched? The Sentai Elite were but one organisation and despite their teams trying their best they could not be everywhere.
    - [] Join up with the government teams, they're not limited to the Sentai Elite
    - [] Remain an independent hero, it would be best to build a reputation before joining anyone.

    [] Path of the Villain, the Yakuza are at the height of their power, joining them with your power would guarentee swift advancement. You could easily see yourself leading the Nagasaki branch in an year...

    [] Path of the Rogue, the time is not yet right to pick a side. You'll continue to poach villains locally but you don't wish to have any commitments just yet, you still have to get the handle of your power after all.

    Your lips curled upwards as you settled in to sleep, be it for good or bad your name would be seared in the pages of history,

    Your Name: Technically a name won, unfortunately the gender associated with said name lost so in the interest of fairness you have one more chance to name your character!

    [] Write-In.

    We have a really solid and powerful combo right now; I don't see a need to change it yet.

    Frankly these seem more like Cauldron vial powers than a natural trigger. A physical deformity like the glowing eyes is more usual from a Vial power.

    Okay, going on playing cops and robbers and collecting a rogues gallery of recurring villains that we cant actually do anything about sounds fun and all(No, that doesnt sound fun) but what sounds far more fun(Read: Actually fun) is profit, profit, and the pursuit of more profit. All things profit and profit all things.

    I want to make friends where we can make friends with whoever we can make friends with. I want to reap luxury and wealth wherever we can find it. I want to see new things and view with our eyes the world before us. U want to want and have and enjoy all pursuits we can get.

    I want not be denied a companion for their allegiance, I want not lack in luxury nor wealth where we can have if, I want not to be held back where we ought go forward, and I want not need frown for things we cannot have, ventures we cannot pursue, and oppourtunities we cannot exploit.

    Call me a craven, a blackguard, and a knave but I want the world on a string and I can't do that listening to any kings.

    No bosses, no rules, no limits. Only the world and the will to take it on.

    So why not not take a side? Or just do what we want without oversight committee?

    Why bother with the oversight comittee when we could just make our way and take what we want regardless of what it is? In the end, is even heroism itself not greed?

    can this be activated intentionally? if so how quickly between activations? Can it be controled to go in a specific direction? Can it teleplort to within that 100 meters?
    Edit: does momentum transfer?
    Edit2: Does him walking into something dangerous count as an attack? Does the attack have to be direct or does setting a house of fire count if he is inside it?

    Edit3: Does telekinesis include lifting self? Automatically? Does not specify either way. Can he crush him self to activate teleport?

    The range will automatically expand if 100m is not safe, it's not a voluntary teleport mostly because it's supposed to be a combat teleport similar to
    Eidolon pulled out whilst fighting Scion

    Momentum doesn't transfer, anything that can harm you counts, though you can stick around if it's a non-fatal hit and you don't want to go. You can't harm yourself, and yeah Telekinesis to fly is possible.
     
    Are write-ins allowed? I want to try being a Corporate Hero. I feel it is a good compromise between Hero and Rogue, plus I've never played a quest as a Corporate Hero before.

    @Keani , being a full-Rogue right now would be really challenging. Enough people know or suspect that we are a cape on our personal life that we have exactly zero chance of keeping our secret identity secret, and Japan apparently plays fast and loose with the unwritten rules. We'd have to spend a lot of time defending our family from kidnapping attempts, and until we made money and leveraged resources, we'd have no way to properly use Tinker powers, which, in this scenario, are a Force Multiplier (we create tinkertech gear that will remain with us when we change slots to combat-oriented powers, effectively bypassing the power limit slot.

    By being Heroes, we have access to resources, teammates, and protection for our family, not to mention we are powerful enough that we are likely to become influential in the government-sponsored teams.

    Corporate Heroes ties us to corporations, yes, but it is a lot easier to terminate our contract later than it would be with the government and we get more freedom, plus immediate access to resources.

    I want us to be a household name in Japan, the pride and hope of the nation. Not being a gaijin helps.

    We could be villains, but meh. It's hard to roleplay effectively an evil alignment.

    - [X] Get corporate sponsorship to form your own team, surely a few companies could be convinced to invest in you.

    We are powerful, we are likely to be a media darling. I'd like to leverage that by founding our own team which we are mostly in control of, instead of taking orders we night not agree with from the higher-ups.

    It's nice enough.

    I want to change powers as soon as feasible into a Tinker slot, but since we have no resources to build anything at the moment, leave it for now.
