Introduction
So you're a superhuman. Pretty cool, right? Well, it would be, if you had a cool power. Unfortunately for you, your "gifts" are lacking. In fact, they're almost an embarrassment. Most other superheroes want nothing to do with you. But, as chance would have it, you can't try and fit in with the humans, either. The fact that you aren't as disabled as they are is enough to set you apart as a freak, even if the only special thing you can do is shapeshift into a house plant.
So where do you go?
Welcome to the Academy for Somewhat Super-Humans, affectionately nicknamed the "ASS" by its students. Here, you're supposed to learn how to control your powers, use them for good, yadayadayada. But, let's face it, no one really cares how you use your ability to resemble picture frames or change the channel on the TV every time you sneeze, or for which side you use it. If you want to get down to it, the ASS is simply a placeholder for people like you. A big boarding school without the school. There are rules, but no one follows them, and the adults don't really care, too involved in their own problems to worry about others. School is a bit of a joke (underwater basket weaving is actually a class!) and the only plus is the beds.
Occasionally, however, you will get sent on "missions". These usually involve petty things, issues that a human can't do on their own, but are below a "real" superhero. Enjoy saving some woman's cat and chasing down a missing pacifier. Graduating means you've learned how to fit in the dismal place society wants you to be: whether it's a super-janitor or super-flexible-dance teacher, you'll be able to live your life toeing the fine line between human and super, constantly wishing for more.
Everyone looks down on you. Humans, superheroes, even the villains. No one gives two cents towards you. Overlooked, under appreciated...some might see it as a curse. Others, as a blessing. After all, if no one cares about you, there's no one to stop you either. How will you cope with your power? Will you try to fit in? Will you conform and hide your face? Or will you find some way to shine, proving to everyone that you're so much more than what meets the eye? And, even more importantly, what will you do when the biggest bad ever to threaten the planet is making plans for world domination?
Welcome to ASS.

Re: I'm Inbetween
I love that they are all creative. Although I love superhero rps, often times people choose generic, over-used powers/abilities for their characters (ex: strength, flight, ability to shift into a wolf, x-ray vision, mind reading, etc) which are great, but sometimes get boring. I created this roleplay so people could get creative and have characters that aren't super-stellar. Not to mention, winning a battle with any of the abilities you mentioned would be an awesome fight indeed.
Re: I'm Inbetween
Control over his own shadow
Can create a snowball out of nowhere, even in the Sahara desert.
Can flawlessly repeat anything said to him, including exact voice print replication... but can't generate new things. Repetition only.
The ability to instill in a person within line of sight the intense need to urinate.
Never late for anything powers, no matter how much time you take you'll always be right on time or early.
Can levitate, but only while holding onto something fastened to the ground.
"unnoticeable woman" who wasn't invisible- just nobody ever paid attention to her.
Increduibly accurate throw with any cutlery that isn't a knife.
Has heroic hair. No other powers, but everyone agrees his hair looks heroic.
to be able to determine anyone's weakness just by being defeated by them
The ability to fly, so long as they have thier eyes closed.
Can duplicate the power of anyone, only at 1/10th the strength or skill of the person you're duplicating the power from. Strong guy lifts one ton? You can lift 200 pounds. Totally invulnerable to firearms? One shot in 10 doesn't hit you.
