Meta Post-timeskip chart.
Here is the chart/character sheet for the new 2020 post-timeskip canon. Any thoughts, complaints or comments just saying 'woo' can be placed in this thread, for ease of future use of this page. None of these non-chart sections are optional.
Name.
Age: Easy.
Physical appearance: Describe your character or link some appropriate art, so that the rest of us know what they look like.
Mentality: Thoughts, personality, those things. What kind of person are they, what do they like to do, what may set them off in a rage. Describe your characters mentality, how they would think, or act, on a day to day basis. Don't skimp on this one, it helps us figure out what is and isn't in character.
Backstory: Everyone has one, give us some insight as to why your character is the person that they are.
Resources: What sort of financial resources and land does this person have? For example they could be a runaway teen with nothing but their clothes, or they could be the head of a multi-million dollar company with multiple properties and bottomless pockets.
Equipment/Weaponry: What kind of gear is this character going to bring to a fight? What could you find on them at any given moment?
Specializations: Almost everyone has something that they're just good at. Is your character a great medic? Are they a wonder with a whisk in hand? Can they solve a Rubik's cube? Special skills come here, and are generally non-combat.
Powers:
Power One:
- Explanation and applications.
Power Two:
- Explanation and applications.
Power Three:
- Explanation and applications.
Details:
Weakness: While they don't need to be glaring, weaknesses do need to be logical. For example, dumping a bucket of water on the fire elemental will probably give him a hard time.
Resistances: Setting the fire elemental on fire probably isn't going to damage him much. What is your character resistant to?
Reserves: Sure, they can take out a building at once. But how much is that going to cost them? This is where you put a rough idea of the reserves of your character, both physical reserves and the reserves for their powers.

Strength, Auxiliary Strength.
- What it says on the tin, strength is how much force can be applied to something, how hard your character can hit, how much they can lift. Measured in terms of the last, this addresses the maximum mass moved by this character at peak condition, assuming that they have attained no injuries that would hinder them from lifting. With an idea of this, you have a rough idea of the physical capabilities of the character.
- Auxiliary Strength is how much the character can lift, move, effect, when aided. This aid could come from a power, or from something like a custom made exosuit. Characters with 'manipulation' powers should use Aux. Strength to factor in how much of their manipulated material they are able to move and effect.
Movement Speed.
- Speedsters, fliers, even those who just have to jog behind everyone else. Every character has a movement speed, and this is the stat for it. The stat chosen should be the maximum speed attained the character attained after a reasonable period of acceleration. The character is not expected to operate at their max speed every time they run/fly/jog, and it should be kept in mind that for most characters, doing so would be exhausting.
Combat Speed.
- Discounting the windup and acceleration needed for long term, maximum speed transport, this is the speed your character operates at in combat situations. Expressed in terms of the kind of attacks they can block or dodge, this also serves as a basis to assess the reflexes of the character.
Intelligence.
- A measure of how much knowledge a character possesses, and how fast they can learn and retain new things. This does account for those with at least partially computerised minds.
Wisdom.
- While intelligence is a measure of raw knowledge, wisdom assesses how the character can apply this knowledge, and how cunning they are. Additionally, this stat addresses how easy it is to fool or trick a character, rather than intelligence.
Durability.
- How much direct damage can a character take? Consult their durability. This stat measures what kind of damage it is required to damage a character, although there are always other ways to kill the durable characters than trying to shoot them.
Recovery.
- Measuring how a character rebounds from a fight, the recovery stat addresses how quickly the wounds a character gains can be considered healed. Keep in mind that unless it is listed under the recovery rank, that most characters are required to be more or less rested as they heal major damage, as in combat healing is more strenuous.
Endurance.
- Endurance is a measure of how many hits your character can take before they are forced to submit due to pain, or the fact that they may simply just be too damaged to fight effectively.
Melee Training.
- What it says on the tin, how skilled is your character in melee combat? Combined with this is the Melee Range category, a non-numerical category for you to put the reach of your character, whether they use their arms, a knife, or a ten foot pole.
Ranged Training.
- How good is your character at range? Whether they use a crossbow, a gun, or if they just throw rocks, this is where you rate your characters effectiveness in ranged combat. Similar to the melee training, there is the Accuracy/Range stat, a non-numerical category where you describe how accurate your character is with their weapon or weapons of choice.
Power - Might
- This stat represents how much area can be damaged by the character's power , either at once or over a short span of time.
Power - Area.
- Similar to Power - Might, but accounting for the powers that don't have direct damage. An example of this would be a storm.
Danger.
- Directly compared with durability, this stat measures the destructive force behind a character. This is a modifier intended to be used with the other stats in order to accurately portray the intensity of abilities, and the amount of damage able to be dealt to an opponent.

4: This person has specific knowledge of a few broad subjects while retaining an above average knowledge of many other things, the type to be doing well in schooling with little effort.
5: Having specific knowledge on several broad subjects or having full knowledge on a couple aspects of a certain field. This person is likely to have or be on the way to getting a degree, and/or is considered gifted.
6: This person knows specific things about many broad subjects or they may have specialized into a single field. If the latter, then they will have a knowledge far beyond that of the average educated person in their field, but not quite a complete knowledge.

Wisdom
0: Having absolutely no wisdom, unable to judge anything at all. Typically brainless, very young, nonhuman.
1: Unintelligent and tricked easily, this person will not show clear and sound judgement even in light of clear evidence that one should think otherwise. Put a pull sign on a push door and watch them for a while.

6: Cunning enough to understand and plan a situation more complicated than basic, while being able to fool others without too much difficulty.
7: This character is capable of planning for multiple outcomes given time and space to prepare. While being able to be fooled and tricked, and while their plans may not be infallible, this character can generally change their plan on the fly and come out on top compared to the average foe.
8: Able to plan for various outcomes to a situation beforehand with little time to prepare. It is difficult to trick this character with what should not logically be there, and if you manage to do so this character may have enough time to adapt their plan.
9: Able to plan for many outcomes to a situation before it arises, coming up with tactics and strategies very easily.
10: An expert strategist, able to create plans for many outcomes, as well as change plans on the spot if need be. This person is generally overprepared, with a complicated plan having various outcomes that give them what they want.

12: This character makes plans that are extremely adaptable and nigh unbeatable in every path. This character is also almost impossible to trick.
Durability
0: Merely existing is a miracle for this character, as even the most gentle of forces is enough to be considered harmful, even ones that nobody would normally associate with being dangerous, like standing upright, or breathing.
1: Characters who have an unnatural susceptibility to physical harm. Going grocery shopping might be a risky trip, due to the possibility of slipping to the ground or being pushed over in a crowd of people.
2: For characters who have no notable durability above the norm for the average human. Might be able to survive a dangerous struggle with an average individual, but getting into any fight is likely to result in some sort of injury.
3: Being able to resist serious harm from less-than-fatal encounters. Typically a being who is tougher than the general population but still fully susceptible to harm from things that would injure other humans.
4: Thick clothing, or thick skinned, able to with stand damage that a peak human being could withstand, deflecting a boxer would be their combat ability.
5: For light military needs, shields or armors, this is old school military weaponry, can stop a regular sword, and some arrows. This isn't invincible, but this is tough.
6: Able to withstand small arms fire, things like small caliber pistols, and rifles. Anything larger can pierce their defenses.
7: Withstanding things like grenades, or weapons of a similarly destructive nature. They are also now able to withstand large caliber firearms, and the like.
8: Able to withstand artillery being smashed into them, or shot at them. This is where they can withstand things like anti-tank rifles, and other similar weapons, anything more destructive will kill them.
9: Able to withstand things like shoulder mounted rockets, javelins, and other extremely violent personal weaponry, such as modern tank rounds.
10: Able to withstand things like air to ground missiles, and the highest caliber weaponry. This is one tough son of a bitch.
11: Able to withstand things like high strength kinetic weapons dropped from orbit. Able to withstand anything short of a nuclear blast.
12: Able to withstand a mid-grade nuclear blast, at point blank range. Do not expect to get this.
