***** This section is currently under construction to make it more in-line with where Eclipse is going. There are no 'capped' powers, only powers that are admin-discretionary. We're always willing to negotiate. *****
///// I NEED A POWER!
If you're having trouble coming up with a power, here are some sites you can use for inspiration.

///// POWER LIST
List of powers used so far. Please use something different if possible.
The following powers are ADMIN DISCRETIONARY: Power Mimicry (this includes Empathic Mimicry, Intuitive Aptitude, or anything else that would give someone the ability to mimic a power), Phoenix Mimicry2, Reactive Adaptation/Evolution, Antithesis, Reality Warping, Spider mimicry2, Vampirism1, Elemental Mastery (think like Avatar: The Last Airbender).
Capped powers are as follows. Capped powers are powers that are the same or similar abilities (i.e., two pyrokinetics, or one pyrokinetic and one person with combustion as a power) already being used by two (2) characters with the same or similar abilities. These abilities may not be chosen or used. These include secondary abilities as well as primary abilities. If one person has hydrokinesis as a primary ability and another person has it listed as a secondary ability, it will be capped. Alternatively, this cap may be broken as many as two times, provided payment is made to unlock them.
** If you see any powers here that are similar and need to be capped (i.e. aqueous form and water mimicry), or if you see any mistakes in this list, please contact a staff member so that we can edit it. We're not perfect! Thanks! **
Red = Capped powers.
Blue = Capbroken powers (once).
Green = Capbroken powers (twice - locked).
(Spiffy new organised table design c/o ChaoticOrigin. Thanks!)
Second+ character, (admin discretion): LIMITED Power mimicry, All-Sight, Biokinesis, Ergokinesis, Immortality, Induced Radioactivity, Life-Force Manipulation, Metempsychosis, Precognition, Quintessence, Time Manipulation.4
The website, Activating Evolution, is a user-edited wiki with a number of powers listed and described. It can be used as an idea source, but be aware that not all of the powers detailed there are considered acceptable for Eclipse. Please remember when creating your application that you must describe your power's functions as to your own understanding of the ability, not simply cut and paste from AE.3
Activating Evolution
Firstly, any ability combo is placed based on the nature of it's primary ability, so, if you want to see how many times an ability is in use, use CTRL+F, it'll help you spot those secondaries.
Some abilities can be classified in more than one place (but obviously, there is no point in double-listing them). Because of this, they've been categorized based on the primary nature of the ability and/or the true root of its function.
Blue = Hero
Sea Green = Watchers P.I.
Green = Neutral
Chartreuse = Ark Industries
Yellow = Company
Peach = The Elite
Red = Villain
Gold = Jung Facility
Light Goldenrod = Lux Aeterna
** All of the character names (even though they aren't underlined like typical links) are linked to their profiles. Click on them for more information about what they can do with their power. **
1 Vampirism in the sense of growing fangs and sucking blood. Come on, now. This is Heroes, not Twilight. Make it realistic. Psychic Vampirism is fine.
2 Just because Heroes writers started failing with powers after season one, doesn't mean we have to follow their footsteps, let's try to make this a quality RP people.
3 Taking a word and adding kinesis is not cool most of the time, grabbing Signal and adding kinesis to form signalkinesis is not right, it looks much better to just say Signal manipulation. Most of the times inventing a kinesis power with greek words will only result in people not understanding your power.
4This does not apply retroactively to characters whose powers are presently listed as Admin-discretionary that are currently active; however, it does apply retroactively to those characters originally accepted with these powers that have been deactivated as a result of player neglect.
