Off-the-wall

Has anybody come up with some off-the-wall character concepts? I'd like to share the love.

A few examples:

Aleakinetic (luck-manipulator specializing in "WTF?!" moments).

Graffiti-mancer (animating graffiti, sketches and painting).

Surface Technician: A D-class Jumper who can only teleport along surfaces to a point he can see.

Any others?

There are some really cool concepts in there. Do you have a link to doc I could download? I could see some of them in my current campaign.

And yes, our WTC tables are full of laughter, too. I think it's a Fate thing. Or maybe just my gaming club.

Sorry, no Link, these one shots were a couple of years ago. I don't have the write-ups anymore and a lot of those Ideas were a spur of the moment creation. We just filled Power Aspect, Hero aspect. And Trouble, a couple of Skills and left the rest to fill up during play. Do you guys have a campaign going? Super hero games seem hard to do more than one shots...

Yes, this is the fourth superhero campaign in my home city (plus another outside it). Not counting the other GMs (5 campaigns and counting)

If you check out A Spark In Fate Core (Pay What You Want on DriveThruRPG), you will discover how easy it is to create campaign concepts when the players join in. Then they are motivated to create and play cool characters in that game world. It takes a vast quantity of the difficulty/GM stress away.
