So... I'ma make a character for this I think. But I can't do too much work at the moment, this final paper is murdering me.
So I wanted to do a power set similar to the Monica Rambeau from Nextwave, as in able to project different types of energy from the electromagnetic spectrum. So that's decently powerful, will that recquire me to make my character level be really high? What's the downsides to making a character with a high power level?
Radawesomego!
Your downsides are stronger enemies. You won't be fighting standard thugs and such.
Okay so if you ramp up to level 7 you're a global threat dealing with global stuff? What's a five like, then? General scale anybody? Also, how badly do I have to science my powers up?
5 would be average, yes. Also you don't need to go into quantum physics to explain your powers, but a decent explanation is nice, just giving "He's a mutant" would probably be good enough.
Say he was blasted with radiation and now certain parts of his brain when activated alter the energy constants of the world around him into blasts? Like, memory areas of his brain trigger these reactions? So when he thinks about the red swingset from his childhood he generates infared or something?
Works for me, it'd be a weird kind of power in my opinion, then again, you haven't explained it in full yet. But yes, that should be a good enough explanation.
Edit: OH SNAP! Bottom paged again Pony!

Okay so write it down and post it up already, even if it's just a draft.
Viv can you tell me if I'm on the right track and oh god have you read nextwave?

You must have some kind of strange anti-soul, only held in place by bonds of immense hatred and ultimate despair leaving you a hideous mockery of a person, fit only to be scorned and spat upon, a life so hollow and empty that never having existed would be infinitely better than to have such a life for even the briefest of moments.

Trust me, Anax, these guys will do a better job helping you shape the core of your powers than I could. When you have a decent concept in mind, send it to me and I'll have a look at what you've got.

So guys.
Eventually. Very eventually. (like, after leveling a bit) Genesis is going to go toe-to-toe with Crius.
you realize he will try to rape you in every form you take
he can shapeshift too, you know
Yeah but I just came up with the best plot thing EVER and I hope to god it's canon. I'll find out when the wiki comes and I can read all about Crius on one page.
Well, if you guys work for opposite side, there could be a conflict between you both, because you're jealous that the other guy has powers similar to yours. And if you guys work for the same side, you could have a rivalry of sorts where you each try to out do each other, it could be a point of contention between the both of you. It's happened in comics before, I mean look at Antman and the Wasp in the Ultimates, he could shrink like she could, so he started abusing her. Hey! You guys could be a gay couple that abuse each other, and then HASTE show's up to the domestic abuse incident at your house that your neighbour called in, it could be a whole issue!

I am so totally not serious

Weight: 180 lbs, 225 lbs w/ powersuit on
Hair: dark brown
Eyes: blue gray

CHARACTER ABILITIES Spoiler:
Abilities: Currently, his body is completely surrounded by an intense cold aura that extends an indeterminable distance. Point of origin is an area of absolute zero within his chest. Can also "feel" the temperature around him, and detect any minute changes within an indiscernable area, though larger than his cold aura extends.
Limitations: Currently does not have full control of power resulting in an ultracold aura that he cannot turn off. As a result, must wear a full body powersuit that contains and helps him better utilize his powers.
Usage: The powersuit directs the ultracold air to certain points of the body for usage, such as the palms. From here, it can be blasted out. On the back of the forearms of the suit are devices that eject a special Water II solution in a cone shape combined with ultracold air to create incredibly hard ice spikes that can be used for close combat. A somewhat similar function is setup at each of the fingertips, though since the Water II is excreted in smaller amounts, and because the cold air blast is being concentrated through a smaller hole, the small ice spikes can be shot out like bullets.
Thought to be a part of the same mutation, since controlling a cold aura would require knowing what temperature one is producing, Forever Zero can sense the temperature around him to a tenth of a degree within a sphere of undetermined size. This is also generally used to determine where people and objects are in his vicinity.
Forever Zero's powersuit also boosts his strength to the capability of lifting about a ton, and protects him from many weaker attacks such as a basic gun's bullets.
CHARACTER BIO Spoiler:
I don't know yet really. Family was originally from Germany, moved to UAAR(?) after Anathema because their city got fucked up and wanted to be closer to their saviors. Mutant powers manifested in Alek when he was little. Fed drugs for awhile until he could make his own decision. Joined Vanguard to get a powersuit and use his powers.
A popular theory is that FZ sucked off some magical eskimo's dick to get his power
