How? If you have strong abilities, you can't really get Alpha because that puts you at Beta.

Alpha would be more the leader types from the front?

Not necisarily. He could be super intelligent, and also, for good measure, be able to use his mind to incapacitate others. He could be an unclassable and wonderful mix.

That combined with control of electronics is kinda OP. And nobody is unclassable. They'd probably end up using him as an Eta assassin.
Here lies a bad OP.

Typically types with the best intuition and strategic skills, and also the most charismatic.

I'm thinking about cutting off testing after this group finishes because it's going to take forever and we're never going to get to the stage where we pick roommates.

I haven't been tested either.

Not as OP as the staff, I think. Especially the guy with the off switch.

He would only be OP against characters who solely rely on powers, but if it was based on skill alone, it won't work.

It's also a common thing for people to have Academies involving superpowers to have at least one person like that, to be able to give punishment.

Uh, no. The Director doesn't have any 'tangible' abilities, and the guards mostly don't have abilities either, just rifles and stun cannons that only daze someone briefly. Christian can depower others but he has no abilities other than that and it doesn't work if their abilities are physically based. They have powerful weapons(railguns) but those have a awful rate of fire and have to be used strategically because of how large the bullets are.

The incapacitation power would basically just be a few seconds of blinding pain in the head.

Yeah but it would have to be one power or the other because the hacking ability is already OP since he can hack literally anything so far regardless of the encryption.

We need a few characters who are more powerful than others though.

Not really...

It makes it unfair for the people who have the underpowered characters, basically meaning they're there to die or be overshadowed, and that's not fun.

Instead of incapacitation then, can I have him be really good at designing and building new devices?

If we do, it would make my character useless, since we basically are doing the main plot, and really nothing else while I'm basically ignored.

There will be a chance for everyone to get involved in the main plot, I don't know why you'd be useless.

I'd like to drop one of those blast doors while the guards are trying to chase them, and finding someone who'll be happy to take out the trapped guards. Also mess up the security coms.
