Reaally?! That's part of the fun for me! haha, I'm not good at action scenes, but I like thinking of new and unused powers, along with the payments. Not to be boastful, but I think a couple of the ones I used were pretty good. (Not that I really remember all of them.)

I think a long time ago, I just made a list of everything I could think of and then picked the ones I liked best. It's probably kicking around somewhere.

Sometimes, the power you decide on depends on how you want the scenes to play out as well - not just having something new and unused. I think the most obvious ones are elemental control or substance control.

That's not to say that it can't be enjoyable, but it's difficult. So last night I did come up with three different powers for Contractors, but now I need remunerations just in case. That's another thing, lol

For one of the powers, I drew some inspiration from Batman Begins whilst listening to "GLOWING BUTTERFLY". Gotta draw inspiration from anyplace a girl can :)

Remunerations falls into the same issue as powers... Since you generally do not reuse what someone else has already used... haha! Though, I guess that's a little easier since it could basically be anything. Similarly, falls into categories - using regarding one of the senses. Eat/drink, do, smell, see... Something like that. Not that that really helps... lol.

Oooh, inspiration from Batman AND Versailles... Should be an awesome power! hehe~ Versailles anything is good. End of story.

Very hard, so if I pick one already used, I ouldn't care, since Contractors have the same power.

Some people are offended by that though, lol. I once had someone complain about that in a review. Not to say that I should be concerned with picky fans but I generally feel better about myself if I come up with something a little more original. But they do reuse powers in DTB, right?

Seriously?! Lol, I never had that happen yet. I wouldn't say that they necessarily "reuse" powers, but they fall into the same category - controlling the same element and what not. I mean, even they're struggling to come up with stuff! :P
