The Infinites- Infinite Gauntlet -(Supers, Comedy) OOC,Done

[Ameriganastan]

I have an idea for a sports-themed villain I'd like to app. However, I'm not sure about the mileage I can get from this character, since his gimmick is almost a one-trick pony.

I might make an app for him regardless, but just so I can gauge people's thoughts about the character.

Sportsmaster has been around since 1947. Pretty sure you can get plenty of mileage out of the concept.

[Castelia]

For interest and ideas only. I think this guy works better as a "Villain of the Week" character than a recurring antagonist, though.

Name: Thomas Kennedy

Codename: Bad Mean Tom

Age: 27

Sex: Male

Appearance: Standing at 187 centimeters tall with blonde hair and blue eyes, Thomas is a really handsome man with almost-perfect features, like if a supermodel and an athlete had a baby. He's never seen wearing any other clothes than a standard badminton attire, but if you're as handsome as he is, it doesn't really matter what you're wearing, does it?

Biography:

Powers: He's insanely good at badminton, enough to easily make him a world champion if he wanted to. This translates into him being extremely good at whacking people with a badminton racket, sprinting short distances with surprising speed, intercepting incoming projectiles with his racket (though this does have its limitations), and "serving" up some mayhem with his explosive hand-grenade shuttlecocks. He sucks at everything else, though.

RP sample:

---

(Answer this as if you were speaking as your villain) -
Describe your abilities: I'm the world's greatest badminton player! Hahaha! I can whack people with my racket. It hurts, you know! I can also sprint short distances so I can get in close to whack people in the head. I can also hit incoming things with my racket as if I'm in a match, but I can only do this if I can see the object coming. Also, it has to be light enough that my racket can hit it without breaking. I don't have much strength, you know. I also managed to invent these nifty shuttle-grenades. Light as a shuttlecock, with the same range as one! But what if it lands close enough to me, you ask? Hmmm, I didn't think about that one...

Why did you turn to crime: Why else? Because I want to be evil!

Why did you further become a supervillain: Have you ever seen a villain defeat the heroes through sports? No! That's why I'll be the first!

How do you feel about the Infinites: They're just another group of heroes I need to beat in a badminton match!

What's your end goal: I want to humiliate the world's greatest heroes, by defeating them in badminton! Hahahahahahaha!

You've captured the hero/heroine, what happens now: I challenge them to a game of badminton, where I'll humiliate them so badly they'll go home crying!

Do you plan out your monologues or do they just sort of happen: I have a notebook of planned monologues! It's empty, though... Okay, I'm not good at writing.

Let's hear a sample of your evil laugh (the noise you'd make when your plan is succeeding): MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Let's hear a sample of your evil roar (the noise you make when your plan is failing): GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Any lines you won't cross: I always play fairly in a badminton match, even if I'm losing! I don't cheat!

Would you prefer an archenemy, or would you rather just drift around from rogues gallery to rogues gallery: I don't really care, as long as I get to defeat the heroes in a badminton game!

-snip-

A character like this would work well with a personality / plot issue he wants to achieve. Maybe not so much as beating the Infinites in badminton (since, I'm assuming, he already thinks he can do that anyway). But perhaps that he can use badminton in nefarious ways against them, setting up traps that involve badminton nets and birdies in some way. Character development also helps for characters that seem one-dimensional on the surface. Such is the case for a guy like Coathangerman. But the more I RP with him, the more he develops.

As for powers, you might also consider being able to spawn badminton equipment (nets, tennis shoes, birdies, rackets, shorts) into existence from nothing.

[Auphelia]

Name: Jane Doe
Codename: Pragmatica (given by Captain Calculator, because "Jane" didn't have enough "pizzazz")
Age: An average age
Sex: An average woman
Appearance: Average, nothing particularly noticeable. So unnoticeable, in fact, that anyone who has ever met her would be hard pressed to name even one physical characteristic about her. But everyone knows Pragmatica when they see her, as it's almost impossible to stifle a quick yawn and involuntary eye roll when she enters a room.
Bio: Pragmatica has always been a sensible girl. That's about it. A bit of a downside to Pragmatica's powers is that she has always made reasonable, measured decisions. No great calamity has befallen her, she has never made a mistake that would alter the course of her life forever. She lives as pragmatically as possible, and is so dedicated to being as sensible as possible that she changed her name from Mary Smith because it was, quote, "too out-there". Her life is driven by the facts, not that she has a car, what with the safety risks, associated expenses, etc. If she has ever had a "dream" (a.k.a wastes of energy and thinking time), it might have been, long ago as a child, when she thought being a tour guide would be interesting. Since then she has expelled such unwarranted and unrealistic thoughts from her head.
Powers: The power . . . of pragmatism! Terribly sorry about the unnecessary exclamation. That was uncalled for. She is the most practical person you will ever meet. Not a detail passes her by, and no one has ever seen her order more than the one free topping on a pizza, because she can just buy her own mushrooms. Beware, Terms and Conditions contracts everywhere, because Pragmatica will read you and do the relevant research to fully understand the contract she is signing.
RP sample:

---

Describe your abilities: I am the only competent person in any room.
Why did you become a superhero: Tax purposes.
What are your goals for the future: Retiring with a healthy savings fund and converting my diversified investment portfolio into low-risk bond.
(Why is this character with the Minnesota Infinites. In other words, why do they kind of suck?): Well, that's quite insulting, assuming I wouldn't read this. I will have you know I do not "suck", but through a quick reading of the entire Minnesota tax law I found that in conjunction with a Federal superhero tax mandate, I could pay only 2.3% in taxes on both a state and federal level if I were to join a superhero team. It was a simple risk-benefit analysis to determine the safest and lowest level team I could join while still receiving the tax credit and maintaining my hours as an adjudicator for internal affairs at Nondescript Co. As to why I specifically chose to live in Orient, apparently the tax rate in this town is, due to what I can only assume to be a clerical error or an incompetent government, -32% for someone in my income bracket. People are effectively paid to live here, and what's more odd, none of you people seem to realise it. How have you not noticed the free money showing up in the mail every year?
How would you describe your talents?: I have the power to be practical and pragmatic, and no logical issue is too great for my comprehension, provided the appropriate research can be done into the matter.
(What about your character's talents make them a D-lister?): Again, I find it fascinating how modern bureaucracy assumes no one will properly read the relevant forms as they fill them out. If you must know, I was rejected from the most practical superhero team, the Midwest Infinites, due to their own internal faults. I found several errors in their application process that, while in accordance with Section C of Article 5 in the Super Powered Gatherings Act, ignored the fact that in Shillings v. The State of Wyoming, the law was found to violate the first amendment found in the United States constitution, and so the only logical conclusion was to write an entirely new application in accordance with all relevant local, state, and national level mandates as well as a parallel document with several key additions for any foreign heroes. After ten weeks and a five hundred and twenty eight page application later, they had filled the position.
What are your strengths?: I am capable of lifting exactly 31.3 kilograms, or or 69.004 pounds. I see no need for any additional strength, having fully considered and dismissed the matter, as physical prowess has no practical use in my daily life.
What are your weaknesses?: I'd hardly say I have any weaknesses. I may be wanting when it comes to being a delusional fool, but I would hardly consider that a fault.
(Any other flaws? Maladjusted personality? Social issues? Unmarketable aspects?): Why do you assume questions in parentheses are unreadable? This is highly unprofessional and furthermore, they are illegal as part of an official interview (or as official as one can be, given the various tea and jam stains), as defined by Soyboy v. The State of Florida, where the Florida Infinites denied a socially conscious young man a place on their roster on the sole basis of his politics. Perhaps I will have to write a new application for you as well.
Why should you if given the opportunity be allowed to advance in the Infinites?: I am an incorruptible bastion of practicality and utter reasonableness. I have also been looking over your finances (as an aside, look into not leaving your important financial documents strewn around the floor) and found someone named the "Teetotaler" has embezzled nearly $0.63 from the team over the last five years. I recommend you seek legal recourse at once.
(Why does the press hate or ignore you?): I was combing through the city's records to determine the most reasonable place to buy a cup of frozen yoghurt to provide the exact amount of dairy I would need for the day and discovered the news had failed to properly file their I-807 tax exemption forms, and therefore owed exactly $23,731 to the city.

Name: Jane Doe
Codename: Woman
Age: An average age
Sex: An average woman
Appearance: Average, nothing particularly noticeable. So unnoticeable, in fact, that anyone who has ever met her would be hard pressed to name even one physical characteristic about her. But everyone knows Woman when they see her, as it's almost impossible to stifle a quick yawn and involuntary eye roll when she enters a room, a suspiciously similar response to those who know her as Pragmatica. That is, it would be suspicious if she were dealing with anyone other than the Doctor Bureaucracy.
Biography:

Describe your abilities: I am quite capable, and eminently sensible. I am also a notary.
Why did you turn to crime: Because I have extreme doubts in the effectiveness of your counterparts in heroism, and apparently Amazon offers 5% discounts to registered members of the Villains League of North America with no murder convictions.
Why did you further become a supervillain: The Amazon discount. It has become one of the most inexpensive and fast ways to order supplies without wasting my time.
How do you feel about the Infinites: They are a group of incompetent fools who wouldn't know a bank robbery from a birthday party. A perfect team to suit you all.
What's your end goal: To not spend as much on my Amazon purchases.
You've captured the hero/heroine, what happens now: Kidnapping is extremely inadvisable. In addition to being illegal, it is a very ineffective way to extort them for what I can only assume would be money or information.
Do you plan out your monologues or do they just sort of happen: I see no need to monologue, as it is a waste of time. There is no need to explain myself unless it is for relevant clarification on a matter that may not be entirely clear to the person on the receiving end of the explanation.
Let's hear a sample of your evil laugh (the noise you'd make when your plan is succeeding): Hm. Right on schedule.
Let's hear a sample of your evil roar (the noise you make when your plan is failing): Tch. A bit disappointing.
Any lines you won't cross: I find it incredibly rude and unnecessarily dangerous to cross the street outside of the lines that indicate it is a place to cross. Think of the medical bills, or the increased insurance rates.
Would you prefer an archenemy, or would you rather just drift around from rogues gallery to rogues gallery: I have found that I am the archenemy of Doctor Bureaucracy, though no fault of my own. How was I to know he didn't want his ex-wife's new marriage license to be notarised? As for the heroes, I have no particular need for a nemesis. They are their own worst enemies.

[Talchyon]

Hey Auphelia! Good to see you. I find what you have written hilarious. I have a few questions though. Did you make the same character as both a hero and a villain? I think that if you are planning on having Doc Bur-Ock as an archnemesis, she would be a hero and not a villain...

[Pere Housh Alpha]

Hey Tal what would be a good power for me?

[Utceforp]

I'm still here, just hit a bit of writer's block.

[Utceforp]

Ok, it's possible that I'm too easily distracted, but here's an idea for a completely different character: A character with the ability to slowly but infinitely generate any coin-like object (subway tokens, poker chips, carnival tickets, etc.) as long as it's not legal tender and of negligible value. They would be called "The Exonumian".

She's on both teams, because she doesn't trust either of them to triumph in any real way. So she is on both teams, and somehow no one has realised it.

Blank State has. But he forgot It. Multiple times.

[Talchyon]

Hey Tal what would be a good power for me?

Hey Pere!

A funny power that was once suggested but never made any mileage and was never actually used is that your character could be "telepathetic" (which is not the same as being "telepathic"). The difference is that one who is telepathetic can only read thoughts from other people that are dumb ideas. If the idea has any merit at all, then this character can't read the mind.

If you like it, it's yours.

Very detailed application process

Yeahhhh.... But the app itself doesn't have to be terribly detailed itself. It's actually more of a way for players to begin to say the important things and start getting into character.

I'm open to reviewing and changing the app if the players think it doesn't need to be as much. Just let me know what you guys all think.

[Danubian Peoples]

Name:Franklin Landon
Codename:Spotlight
Age:72
Sex:Male
Appearance:Frank wears a rather stuffy getup which makes him look fat, but is in fact heavily padded to ensure his lackluster power doesn't get him bodied. His goggles allow him to adjust the focus length of his
Bio:Born on 1947, Franklin lived a relatively progidous life, graduating high marks and becoming a scientist, albeit an obscure one. His scienc-y skills got him recruited by the US military to develop dastardly technologies to beat back the reds at the rather young age of 21. However, on 1975, he was working on a volatile teleporter that was to be used to teleport US forces into Russian installations should WW3 break out, at a top-secret compound in the west. Unfortunately, an accident prematurely activated the machine in its unfinished state, and Franklin was teleported some 200 kilometers away from the compound, in the middle of nowhere. Back in the lab, Franklin-and a flashlight he was carrying, simply vanished. It was in this nowhere where he discovered his new power, the power to shine a flashlight's light out of his eyes. He flashed for help and was promptly sent back to work. his newfound ability caused too much hassle for the military, shining his eyes into hyperreactive substances would cause them to explode after all, and he was sent packing. He went east and established himself as a superhero, dubbing himself Spotlight because Flashlight was too boring. The now Spotlight was promptly bodied by the top-tier supervillains of the big city, and he went to Minnesota instead, where he became a solo crime fighter, who was better known within his meager fan base for stopping the occasional bad guy in his green getup than being able to shine light out of his eyes. now in his 70s, the Spotlight decided to join the Infinites.
Powers:Frank can cause light to shine from his eyes at will. Unlike other 'come-out-of-eye abilities,' Frank's power output is meager, being equivalent to a standard flashlight. Nevertheless, Frank has been hard at work over the years trying to improve his abilities. His goggles can focus the light into a small beam, and change what colors he allows through, so with the right settings, the Spotlight is now... the Laser Pointer. Good for blinding criminals who look at you, I guess. Frank's abilities also work in other wavelengths of light, just like how you can see a flashlight's shine in all wavelengths. Frank can use this to slightly better effect by becoming the Infrared Laser Pointer, using his goggles to shine an invisible beam that nevertheless can damage the eyes of evildoers. Frank frequently does refrain from using his powers in such ways, knowing that blinding the enemy is probably a crime of some sort, even for costumed crime fighters.
RP sample:My finest RP work so far.I've done other RPs in the past, but those were under some other accounts that I've since let CTE. They were also rather low-quality on my part, with one-liners galore. Also, this is my first comedy RP, so be gentle I guess?

---

(Things in parentheses are OOC. The rest of this is IC. A form for your character to answer.)

Describe your abilities:I can shine a light out of my eyes. Not a very strong light, but a light nonetheless. *Fiddles with goggles* Check it out, now I'm a laser pointer!
Why did you become a superhero:I became a superhero, because I have powers. I feel entitled to this position, a stance I continue to regret for numerous reasons.
What are your goals for the future:I'm 72. This is my future. The Spotlight ain't going to die in glory and neither is he going to receive fame anytime soon. At this rate, I've largely given up on my notoriety as a superhero. I'll still make it an effort to show what fans I do have that I care, I suppose.
(Why is this character with the Minnesota Infinites. In other words, why do they kind of suck?):Frank can only ever do as much as flashlight or a laser with equivalent strength. While he is capable of throwing a punch, his age is also starting to hamper his melee abilities. While being rather smart, Frank's powers mean he can't work on any volatile science stuff, lest a runny nose blow up the whole facility.
How would you describe your talents?:I can throw some pretty hefty punches, and my intellect allowed me to craft this well-protected suit, so I'm pretty 'talented' I suppose. My power isn't a talent. It's just that. A power, and rather underwhelming one.
(What about your character's talents make them a D-lister?)Frank's fighting skills are despite their refinement, nothing compared to the powerful punches of a superpowered maniac, or the blinding speed of a death ray. His intellect while capable of getting him out of dangerous situations can't build a nuke in his backyard out of some garden gnomes and the swingset. his powers also once again, are nigh-useless compared to the foes he fought (and failed to at that) in the east.
What are your strengths?:I can fight. I've had some martial arts training in the past. And my flashlight eyes if used correctly can blind criminals, though when last I checked that was a war crime, so I don't do that anymore.
What are your weaknesses?:I'm 72. i've gotta drink my milk and drink it I have been. I'm also about as strong as a normal 72-year old. No super-strength for this geezer.
(Any other flaws? Maladjusted personality? Social issues? Unmarketable aspects?):His powers are known to activate with a sneeze (Frank does deny this however), which can reveal his location on a stealth mission or worse, react with photosensitive materials. Frank has more or less given up on advancing his lot as a superhero, his Infinites membership only really came about so he could have some company in the job and so he'd have to do less of the heroics on his own.
Why should you if given the opportunity be allowed to advance in the Infinites?:Advance? As if. No one needs me anywhere but here. The last time I went and fought the big city foes I landed in the hospital. Either that, or the hospital landed on me. I've taken such experiences very seriously y'know, as a lesson. Now, if I had a better set of abilities then I'd consider.
(Why does the press hate or ignore you?):All the Spotlight does is fight low level muggers in a green outfit. The press does try to report on him but the scoop is rather meager and drafts for 'Spotlight Saves Old Lady' are quickly shot down in favor of 'Big Death Robot Destroyed by Your Favorite Big Superhero.'

Here's my app above. I'm sure if I'll even get to the IC considering I play NS on an on/off basis. Nevertheless, I'd like to experiment and expand my avenues in RPing.

I find this character really funny. Something about a 72 year old guy who sneezes and makes his eyes turn into flashlight beams, or, possibly, a laser pointer beam. He definitely fits. I really hope you post for him. This guy is good.

Oh, and your RP sample was fine. Gave me a sense for your writing and I can say you'll fit right in.

Franklin is ACCEPTED! Welcome to the Infinites!

Hey guys. So, I saw a post on one of the forums the other day about how character interaction makes an RP thrive. So, as we're getting closer to having enough characters to make a go at it, I'd like to ask you how you think your character will interact with the others here. What does your character think when they look at any of the other PCs (not NPCs)?

As much as we can encourage character interaction, the better, funnier and more enjoyable it will make this.

[Talchyon]

Oh, and I will get the new characters on the roster probably by tomorrow. It's been a busy week for me. Thanks.

Questions - 1) Should I simplify the app?
- 2) What other PC do you look forward to having your character interact with?

[Kasa Tkoth Sphere]

Oh, and I will get the new characters on the roster probably by tomorrow. It's been a busy week for me. Thanks.

Questions - 1) Should I simplify the app?
- 2) What other PC do you look forward to having your character interact with?

1. I think the app's mostly fine, with the possible exception of apparently asking characters for their positive attributes three times in the lower half; yes, "abilities" and "talents" and "strengths" are all arguably different, but you could probably collapse these into "superpowers" and "non-superpowers" without losing detail, or just "abilities of all sorts" if you want to cut the question number more.

2. With the number of old people - plus people unfamiliar with modernity - that seem to be filling out the Infinites roster, Kate and Robin are going to have a heck of a time trying to cooperate with them to stop crimes and such... but it might be fun having the people who have more experience around superheroes try to give them terribly outdated advice.

"Always check the phone booths before going inside to put on your spandex."

"Nobody uses any of that stuff anymore."

I think I rejoined this (last arc) at some point...Might rejoin again. If I did app for a super or villain or whatever, go ahead and add me to the list if you can find my app.

[Barapam]

I think Irina will get along well with Franklin and Gertrude. "Bah! Things were better back in our days, when the world was on the constant brink of nuclear war! Darn kids with their music and lawn-walking!" And then she'll be with Glitch and Jørn of course.

How did Captain America interact with the modern world? Is that something I can also use? (I'm seriously asking. I'm usually not into the superhero genre, tbh.)

This video about sums it up.

[Danubian Peoples]

[snip]

It seems your observation is valid. I checked some apps.

[also snip

[Even more snip]

As for you, well:
Firstly, thanks for heads up on the roster update. I've been wondering why apps that were 'accepted' were not on the roster. My app could be excuse by being new, but some of the others, not so much.

As for interactions with other characters, well Kasa Tkoth Sphere is correct in that most of our roster are either old or inherently foreign to modern society. And while a lot old people can keep up with the times and foreigners have had a record of assimilating into societies over (some occasionally troublesome) time, I do like the idea that maybe a lot of these Minnesota Infinites might seem to be a couple screws loose due to their age. As for which of these heroes (and others) the Spotlight will 'enjoy' being with, I've combed through the apps listed on the rosters (looking for the rest would be a hassle.) and I have come up with some standout reactionss whilst Frank reads through these files:
THE FOLLOWING IS IC

CRap-No, just no. Please. Being this old means I already deal with a lot of the issues of age, and now a Salmonella infection with the drop of a tongue? Geez, even my eyes aren't that out there.

Space Bear-Okay, now so 'Irina Borisova'.. Russian cosmonaut, would've been on the Moon first.. radioactive tardigrade.. rescued from aliens.. parasitic tracksuit? Hmm, by the looks of it people call this woman Space Bear a lot more than 'Shield Maiden.' I think i should call her what she actually is. A Russian!

Radarᴋ-Small ᴋ? What, is she from Russia too? Wait, from Orient.. Hold on. So, she can detect, surface-to-air missiles of all things. No, not even a rocket launched from the ground, it has to be an SAM? And it says she discovered her powers by feeling a missile test coming? Hrghh.. Fredrickson! Our orders explicitly said 'no bombs' the Russians can see!*

Ace Fruitbat-Ace Fruitbat? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while! Played the original in my fourties. Sure I was definitely not the hyperactive 10 year old they wanted on the machine but I was playing it anyway. Now, it says he does the exact same thing her sister does.**

Jørn A. Liszt-What kind of name is Liszet? Liszzt? Lizt? Oh I give up. Says he's chummy with Irina. Now tell me why a reporter of all people is allowed to get away with that.

Blank State-Is that state or slate? Regardless, I don't need him, I'm 72! I can forget the room on my on! Besides that, it's tragic I guess. Not the 'lost my mom' part but the 'be evil because I lost my mom.' Or is it dumb?

The Invincible Lump-Now, that just ain't fair. I get 100-watt eyes and he gets invincibility? Tell me, what kind of super-power lottery is the world running anyway? Back in my day, it took a lab accident or cancer-causing radiation to gain superpowers. But now 'rolling around in waste?' Maybe I should do that next week.

IC OVER

*Fredrickson was a colleague of his that worked in the same lab he did. He later went on to test weapons for the US military. Frank suspects that the SAM was in fact his brainchild. Apologies for any lore conflicts to all.

**Apologies if this conflicts with your lore behind Ace Fruitbat, Kasa Tkoth Sphere.

As for your potential quaims about Franklin's character, I'll let you guys critique it if need be.

[Talchyon]

I'm finding all these responses funny! Keep them up.

Oh, and Kasa - thanks for the suggestion about the app. I will update that for all new apps (old ones, accepted ones don't need to be updated. WIP ones can if you wish).

My work on the IC page is commencing. I'm getting closer to being done with it. The first one will be a doozy but the rest of my posts afterward won't be nearly so long. (It's just part of the tradition of Infinites, how they always begin with the Orient county weekly newspaper, then the team meetings, and then things involving the plot afterward).

-Talc

[Kasa Tkoth Sphere]

**Apologies if this conflicts with your lore behind Ace Fruitbat, Kasa Tkoth Sphere.

All I really had on it was that it's an Infinites-world parody of the Ace Combat series and thus plays sort of similarly: fast-paced air battles where the players shoot guns and rockets at each other. Having the original version be an arcade game works fine with me; I sort of implied that the newer entries in the series like 180 have couch PVP of all things (crazy, right?!), so this seems pretty reasonable.

This seems interesting.

Name: Wu Yuan
Codename: Grandmaster Yuan
Age: 19
Sex: Male
Appearance:

Biography: Wu Yuan was born in Lhasa on April 23, 2000 to Tao Yuan, a martial artist, and Ping Shen, a nurse. Tao is a practitioner of tai chi while Ping works as a nurse at Kang Zi Hospital. They were not wealthy and Wu's parents couldn't afford to sent him to school. As a result, Tao taught Wu tai chi at a slow pace but it gotten harder for him by the time he reaches his teenage years. At the age of 16, Tao died from a unknown illness that it is said was a curse. Wu was sadden by the lost of his father who taught him martial arts. A friend of his father had told Tao that a assassin have killed his father and that he might have a connection with the triad but others said that it was a lie.

Wu's personality changes from a friendly and cheerful child to a arrogant, cruel and, ambitious young man that he is willing to become the greatest martial artist in the world as well as to find his father's killer. Wu left the house without saying a single word to his mother, Ping, and have became a wanderer. Today, Wu is a evil martial artist/supervillain who called himself "Grandmaster Yuan".

Powers: (Chi Manipulation) He's really convinced he has these powers, but he's actually totally incapable of fighting seriously. His combat style consists of flailing around and making cool noises.

What's your end goal: "I don't have one at the moment."
You've captured the hero/heroine, what happens now: "I can ask them either about my father's murderer or I can just kill them."
Do you plan out your monologues or do they just sort of happen: It depends.
Any lines you won't cross: "I won't let anyone surpass me!"
Would you prefer an archenemy, or would you rather just drift around from rogues gallery to rogues gallery: Archenemy

I'm not the OP, but from what you've posted so far, it doesn't look like this character will fit in the setting. Remember from the first post: this is a comedy setting in which everyone has really lame superpowers; this character doesn't necessarily have to be funny (though he should probably be able to play along with the others' jokes, at least), but he does have to be weak in a funny way.

Off the top of my head, examples of ways to make chi manipulation really lame:

- He's really convinced he has these powers, but he's actually totally incapable of fighting seriously. His combat style consists of flailing around and making cool noises.
- He has all of the expected superhuman fighting abilities and energy powers, but can only use them against fish.
- His power is that whenever someone mispronounces "chi", he gets to use a weak chi-based attack against them while screaming the correct pronunciation.
- He can create and shape this mystical inner energy... into the shape of fairly soft blunt objects with which to gently bludgeon people.
