Okay, this is not a senseless thread. In fact it has a serious purpose since I plan to put together a rpg for street levelers only I wanted to know if there are enough of us to even put some effort into it or forget it entirely.
So you may ask for what the classification of a street leveler is. Good examples of street levelers (from now on I'll write sl) in comics are Daredevil and Nighwing. Moonknight and Punisher are also good examples. On the Vine the two that instantly come to my mind are Nighthunter and (of course because it is my mind) me. Maybe Andferne, Kurrent and Gambler are also good ones crossing the line to the super. If you ask me whole Section Eight is composed of sl (with the possible exception of Crazy Eight but DC just writes him good enough to actually believe him as a sl, not sure where to put him).
What differentiates a sl from a normal super character or even (god beware) a cosmic class character? A lot don't have any powers at all (Nightwing, Nighthunter) or have only a few well chosen ones (Daredevil, Risky). They don't lift tons but rather a few hundred lbs when superstrength is not their ONLY power (Risky is for example able to lift 600 lbs which is still impressive and considered superhuman for a woman of her size and built) and when they have enhanced speed and reflexes they don't run light speed but remain at subsonic levels, seldomely reaching a top speed of several dozen mp/h that they are not able to hold for a long time. Flying is almost unheard of but not really forbidden for them but even then there is usually some restriction of speed as well. A bullet still poses a serious threat for them and they are certain to be somehow damaged and hurt if they are not able to dodge one. Basically you could say a sl is a rather low or non powered character. There is a thin but important line between a sl and a super. In the end it's a bit measuring and honest self analyzation to decide of you are a sl or not.
AND BEFORE YOU START: There is nothing wrong with being a non sl character, I'm not accusing anyone of godmodding, being overpowered or something else just because he has fun in writing on a different scale than me. A sl is not better or worse than a super or a cosmic, it all depends on the person who writes him/her. We have pretty awesome characters in each diversion.All I want to know is if there are enough of us to see if a rpg especially for us would be worth the effort.
So street levelers unite and let me know if you are out there!!! YAHOOOOO!!!
Thanks
Your Risky
Street Levelers
@Talon/X23 said:
Just Talon? Possible street leveler, depends on how powerful her healing factor is. Old school Wolverine who still could be shot (I am not kidding, back in the good old days a very well aimed bullet could permanently kill him before the ypowered him up) and lost to Sabretooth everytime they met was definitely a street leveler. New Wolvie with the ridiculous healing factor is rather a super." Good Luck with this Risky, show the world what your made of!!!!! but quick question, with out the sword Gemini or any thing just Talon and her claws what would you classify her as, just asking from your perspective. "
And thanks for the support. ;D

In that case, sweet, good to know I'm not overpowered :D
Although I'd say Vade is definitely a super, lol

@Honor Guard said:
Okay, the 25 powers doesn't fit in there but it's not only the amount of powers but also which power you have. I have more than one or two powers as well and still I see myself as a street leveler because those powers are not that powerfull. From my bio so you can get an impression:"@Risky said:Nope, but I lift 25 tons and have like 2 or three powers ""@Honor Guard said:As far as I read your bio and powers you are a very good example for a street leveler.

Talents and Superpowers
Risky had no superpowers per se she thought at first. But the registration process changed this view. Later she was artificially enhanced by Apocalypse and ordered some enhancements of her own:
- Limited Probability Manipulation: Risky constantly has an energy field around her that changes events to go in her favour resulting in incredible luck. Many, including her, see that as her main power and so far it has been the one that was of most advantage to her.Through many dangerous situations, some of them undegone in silly adventure lust, has she only lived through this power. The consequences of this power are always unpredictable, foreseeable only in the way that it will save her hide somehow. Furthermore this is her only mutant power. All the others are result of the experimentation that she has undergone.
- Adrenaline Enhancement: Apocalypses changes gave her incomprehensible might and a pale impression of that remains with her even nowadays. A strange incident made it that she seems to regain some of those powers when she's infused with adrenaline. It looks like she gets the stronger, faster and harder the more adrenaline circulates in her body. When she is really hyped up she can lift up to 600 lbs now and run almost 50 mp/h for an extended period of time and heals quicker. Although it is not as quick as Ronin's or Moonshayde's regeneration it can save her from death in critical situations. When there is no adrenaline in her system she remains still peak human. Those powers are not without risk though.There's a certain limit in the human body how much adrenaline it can put out before breaking down. For some reason this limit is highly increased in Risky's body. But even there's a limit and if she should go over that limit WAR will resurface with all her powers like an unstoppable force of destruction without any controll at all. So far Risky has managed not to go over that limit and controll the force of slaughter within her but considering her chosen field of profession and her addiction to adrenaline this might just be a question of time...
- Danger Sense: Her most enigmatic power is probably her danger sense. It doesn't work at all times and when it works it does so in subtle ways like a creepy feeling or a tingling in the neck. But so far Risky has learned to listen to her "inner voice". Even the origin of this power is unclear to her and most scientists but as long as it works (when it works since it's pretty unreliable), Risky is happy. The only fact that Risky could state about it is that the bigger the unknown threat is, the bigger the feeling is and the more accurate the sense of direction it gives.
- Teleportation: It looks like the Apocalypse treatment triggered some latent mutant teleportation-gene in her body so she is able to teleport on her own now, not longer having to rely on the teleportation device that Akira Overdrive gave her in the Civil War. Her maximum distance has still to be evaluated but it is certain that she can not take more than 500 lbs. with her.
- Military Training: Besides her other powers she is in peak human condition and has undergone an extended military training by the Army, the Green Berets and the Taskmaster. This enables her to use almost any firearm she might come across some day. She is also proficient with many meelee weapons and explosives although she prefers guns of any kind. Through her Green Beret training she also knows a lot of languages, almost a dozen as it is expected from this military elite unit. Her excellent tactical sense has been further enhanced and trained by the Taskmaster so she can confront even vastly more powerful or even superpowered foes with some preparation time.
- Adamantium Claws: After the disappeareance of her brother in arms Ronin she decided to honour him by letting Jinx implant some adamantium claws in her body. She might not have the photographic refelxes of her teacher Taskmaster but she was long enough near Ronin to analyze his fighting style and adapt it to her own claws. With her new adamntium claws she poses a serious threat to even nearly invulnerable foes.

Limited magic means like healing wounds slowly, but to the extent of growing back vitals, limbs, etc. Also, small scale elemental powers, such as making a ball of light, casting out a stream of fire ten feet, or jump starting a car engine. :D

Well then... My other accounts Posture, Revolt, Classic, Instant, and Annihilation are probably more closer to being SL's.
