So since I have a LOT of time on my hands..and my mind is going every direction at once..I've had .. and dropped a ton of game ideas. So..how does a chaotic, confused, and disorderly mind put the pieces together? Rifts.
All the characters in the game, have been affected by a Rift*. Their lives turned upside down in fact. However, within days of being affected by a rift, they are approached and recruited into an organization determined to track down what is causing the Rifts, and put a stop to it.
* Rift - A 'tear' in the very fabric of reality. Nobody knows their cause, or much about them. Almost anything can come from the other side of a Rift. Something from the past, from the future, alien worlds, alternate realities..heck the Incredible Hulk could come out of one (chances are he won't but just demonstrating that fictional characters can also come from a Rift). For some reason..if a single individual is near a rift, and asleep while it is forming, they wake to find they can manipulate that rift (Like your characters..but more about that in a moment)..but only THAT rift. This leads some to believe that the rifts are caused by psychic individuals..but that is only one theory.
Now a Rift will not last long or stick around. However, if a person can manipulate a Rift, a Shard is left behind. A shard has a limited power supply, but it recharges. You as players get to decide what powers/abilities or even if you change form/etc. However...the more powerful the ability, the faster it uses a Shards power supply..so a power can last seconds .. or be on continually..because a Shard does recharge naturally over time. Shards can not be lost or destroyed..they will always come back to the character or reform..always. Most people put them in some form of jewelry to carry around (for guys watches are common). I of course decide how long the power supply will power your power..depending on how powerful it is. You can have multiple powers (each uses the supply up at a unique rate determined by me), and even have multiple powers active (this burns the power supply up faster however).
Your limitations is only what your character dreamed at the time of the Rift forming..and once powers are chosen they can not be changed.
