I can tell Nelson, and he are going to get along rather interesting.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Hi UTC. A cynic is always welcome in the way that you have always described. One thing though - the backstory is not necessarily what I create. I have vague ideas for backstories, but nothing specific. If anything, I'd like you to help create a backstory as we go. Feel free to TG me here on NS or on Discord about ideas you have.
As for powers, I'm ok with them. Here are my medicinal drawbacks:
a) My rule of thumb is that the medicines make the metas go at about 10% of what they normally can do. That means with the light, it's still bright but not blinding. One could look into it, but would probably have to strain their eyes.
b) Heat can only go up to 170 degrees C. Still very very hot, but not "standing on the sun and melting random elements" hot.
c) Fire can only make the size of flame about three cigarette lighters put together.
d) Light, heat and fire can't all be active at once. It's either light, heat, or fire.
If you can accept these medicinal drawbacks, then Nadir is ACCEPTED.

First Name: You may call me Josuke.
-snip-
He is a human soul stuck inside what is basically a huge tin can. The only special thing about it is how many joints it has, which allows him to move around. And by the way, the objects he possesses dont go all Toy Story and become flexible. He is heavily limited by what he possesses. If he possesses a plastic army man, it wont move like a person. It will move like a toy. Even if he possesses a powerful machine, he wouldnt be able to use the special functions it has. He can just move around. He is literally a really smart dude in a flexible metal suit. I guess he could also possess cadavers. His powers are only to put himself into a humanoid inanimate object (Like a mannequin) and steal physical properties of an object.

First Name: Fritz
Powers / Abilities: Fritz is capable of Key Creation. If he comes into contact with a reasonably small piece of metal, such as a utensil, he can mold it into a key which can fit any lock. The metal cannot be more difficult to bend than steel, and not so easy as aluminum.
Realistic Power Drawbacks: Any key he creates can only be used a single time. Albeit he could create multiple keys for the same lock, after he uses a key that he's molded even once it becomes entirely unusable. Additionally a small hash-mark appears on his palm for every key he creates, only disappearing after he falls asleep. It takes about five minutes for him to mold a key.

Hi Auphelia. I've been debating Lucretia's power, as I really like the concept and find it very symbolic of the whole RP. At the same time, I can also see how it might be really unfair (especially since you gave no realistic drawbacks for it). Here is a suggestion before I proceed further.
Overlapping realities. Lucretia doesn't really create pocket dimensions, as much as alternate realities that overlap ours and even take over. With this in mind, I would like you to set a max limit on range for these realities (so they don't take over). I would also like 2 or 3 descriptions of realities that Lucretia has "on hand" that would be pulled out and used. It's very vague right now, and leaving it vague also leaves for some very dangerous situations. (such as, one of her realities is the inside of an active volcano, or the nothingness of space). If you describe what 2 or 3 of these realities are, and what dangers can be found in them, it will help further define this power.
I would also suggest that Lucretia can also be harmed in these realities. Likewise, if you would explain what happens if she is harmed in them. And how they can be stopped.

1. In addition to the fact she has to remain in one place, would a 200m limit be acceptable? I never intended for them to take over everything, as she has to work to create new area within her realities, to the point that few could take over much more than a large communal area (like a dining hall or courtyard).
2. The threat posed to Lucretia by her realities depend on what part of her sub-consciousness has seeped into the creation. For example, her reality based on loyalty would be willing to defend her in an instant, while fear or self loathing would be more than willing to either let her be attacked or actively try to harm her (and everyone else within). Even if she tries to summon a positive reality, the emotions she feels at the time play a heavy hand in influencing, meaning that the descriptions I give you are simply of the realities in their purest form.
These are very basic descriptions and a small selection of some of her largest realities that are roughly built up to her limit. Each can be influenced by what she wants or is directed to create at the time as well as what she is feeling at the time, but these are some of her more basic sets. I would like to note she is not fully in control of what she gets, unless she makes a reality out of nothing, which requires near total loss of cognisance and time, especially for bigger items.
On another note, she will essentially be unable to access her reality due to her state of improved lucidity, which means unless something goes wrong at the hospital or she gets very sneaky, her powers won't be making much of an appearance for a while.
If this is fine with you, I will add it to her application along with any medicinal drawbacks.

Just to let you all know, I am planning a brief timeskip as soon as your characters are done with interactions at lunch. I can wait for you to resolve (or start) anything you want. But looking to move it later to the afternoon a few hours. Let me know if this is ok and/or if you would like to finish up something.

Interesting character and powers, Frozen. I would like to suggest an enhanced kind of power to correspond to what you have written. There will be some doors with a simple lock and key at Aurora Grove, as you describe that Fritz can easily unlock. But there will also be some number codes, magnetic locks, and a few places have retinal scans and thumbprints as well. Would you want to increase Fritz's abilities to also being able to figure out number codes, and to bypass other security measures?

Aye, i would actually like to do that. I wasn't entirely sure how much was acceptable, but the idea had already crossed my mind that he be able to get passed more than just normal locks. If he could have his abilities increased, that would be preferable.

I'd say go for it. It's a very similar power-set, very connected to your base power, so why not. Plus, it would make it easier for me to come up with medicinal drawbacks.
