history: Before you got your powers: I was a mild-mannered high school student with good grades and a theatre interest. I was always a good kid, but many chose to pick on me and I could never do anything to defend myself.
How you got your powers: One day, as I was about to be mugged by a large group of thugs, a beam of light cut through the night sky and bathed me in a warm, white glow. I floated in the air, limp; my nerves pulsating within my body. As the light instantaneously disappeared, I dropped to the ground. As the thugs regained their composure and began to attack, I found that my strength, speed, intelligence, endurance, and all of my other attributes were enhanced beyond belief. I took out all the thugs and became, The Guardian!

As nice as it would be to say "sure" this is really a superhero Mary Sue. This player has basically written himself with super powers. Sorry. I say no.

I was already starting to have trouble believing this character at this early point, and it only got worse. Some serious rewriting is required here, at the very least. Better yet, just chuck this out entirely and try again. Much as we need non-LABN players in FL, we can't afford to let our standards drop.

David: before submitting a character, try reading the ones already on the board to see the sort of thing that will fit in this world. Some sugary ideal is not the kind of thing we're looking for.
