Why not start with him reflecting that he never expected this to be the day his whole life changed?

Hmmm..

How about a gang-leader with the powers Prehensile Hair and Petrifying Hair.

Call her.. Medusa.  Or Stheno.

Two such characters were a duo who constantly try to join the bad guys gangs but ultimately fail due to incompetence. One would have the power to simply turn into a dog, while the other can stretch his tongue out like an extra appendage.

The Dog one would be a slob, always covered in dirt, while the tongue one would act as though he was very sophisticated and smart when he actually quite imbecilic.

Villainous Wannabes?

That sounds like excellent comedic relief.

That's the plan. They'll fail out of just about every gang before finally trying to join the rebels in the end.

but what I haven't begun to think of is rebel characters. People on the good side. of course many of them might not be mutant.

For modern people.

If you want them to have superpowers, you just have to slap one on!

Like a sticker....Say, any thoughts on the main character's name. I've tried Amos and Joshua, but they don't quite feel right.

A name database? What madness is this? Why was I not made aware of this before?!?! This shall change the very nature of character creation!

I'm not sure how much everyone reads the sections of the forum outside of the Roleplay one.

I guess while I'm bored I'll keep throwing thoughts at this until something clicks.

Maybe a character that is super narcissistic? or infatuated with inanimate object?

I'm reminded of that Yumichika person from bleach..

That episode when he fought that strange arrancar was hilarious.

Utterly hilarious.
