Thoughts for character creation...

I plan on this being a street-level game. Characters shouldn't have anything above an IN. Column shifts above IN are fine (ie IN Fighting + Talents), but no power, attribute, or resources above IN.

...

You can choose / model your stuff using this array of stats: IN, RM, RM, EX, EX, EX, TY, TY, and everything else GD (as many as needed). Start with three powers and two talents.

I will reward cool concepts with some bonus ranks, talents, etc as feels appropriate.

Okay, so using your stats array, I have put together the following altered human:

CHANCE
Fighting - EX (16)
Agility - EX (16)
Strength - TY (5)
Endurance - EX (16)
Reason - GD (8)
Intuition - IN (36)
Psyche - RM (26)

Health: 53
Karma: 70
Resources: - GD (8)
Popularity: - 0 (not publicly known)

POWERS:

Empathy: GD (8)
Telekinesis: RM (26)
Probability Manipulation: (Good Luck, self)

TALENTS: Detective/Espionage, Sleight of Hand
CONTACTS: ?

3 powers (+1 for Altered Human) cut down to 3 again because Probability Manipulation is a 2-slot power. I did not choose one of the limitations in the book as I figured I'll let you decide what's best for your game. Not exceptionally strong, but the telekinesis can make up for that in a fight with its versatility and ranged use potential. In a hand-to-hand fight, the guy's got chops but he's not a trained fighter.

BACKSTORY: Jack Chance is a professional busybody, always sticking his nose in where it doesn't belong and having a good eye for details that would have made police detective an excellent vocation... if he had any respect for authority. Of course, his belief in an outrageous number of conspiracy theories would also get him quickly labeled as some kind of hack among the rank and file of police. So he goes about his own business, trying to help people where he can by solving mysteries and occasionally pushing back when push comes to shove. His powers are a mystery, even to himself. He has made some occasional inquiries to people in the know, and the one thing that comes up again and again is magic —as in someone or something has blessed him with these powers, but he has no idea who or why. What he does know is that people with powers generally keep them and/or their identities a secret, so he does make an effort to disguise himself by putting on a simple domino mask and, surprisingly he has been lucky enough to get away with no one figuring out that mysterious do-gooder Chance is actually Jack Chance. He relies on luck to get him through a lot of what he does, as well as using his empathy to feel out people involved in whatever mystery is digging in to when no other clues present themselves. But when things get ugly, he tries to be discreet with his power of telekinesis by causing "apparent" accidents to attack his enemies, such as objects falling from above or putting something at enemies' feet to trip them up... or occasionally to make himself a little more intimidating by giving himself a telekinetic boost when trying to jack someone up against a wall or otherwise restrain someone.
