I usually try to go for more action oriented stuff, so I'm keeping that in mind.

Its funny. I am watching Pokémon Trainer Classes explained at the Pokestar Studio Section and have a crazy idea. Actors who fight each other in movies using "Theatrical" or Entertainment-based abilities in order to get top-billing. And when I mean "in movies," I mean on set while the cameras are rolling. Kind of strategic battle of wits with abilities that improve the user's performance or make others' worst.

Just a thought.

Sounds interesting, not sure if I could pull it off though. Closest I could try is maybe something like that but with the kayfabe aspect of wrestling, but even that's kind of a stretch for me.

It's just an idea while watching a Youtube video. What also helps is finding a central theme or mechanic for your power system.

With Folkloric Fates Power System, I based it on Aarne–Thompson–Uther Index but change a word within a title with something the reflects the user and Chosen Métier are skills with mode switching.

The main theme/mechanic I had in mind for Weight of Words was wordplay, and for CoTS it's martial arts. Haven't managed to think of a new one to try something based on yet.

I am sure you will find a power system that fits you and the world you will craft (or maybe the power system will craft your world like most of mine did.)

Anyway, I am going out to take my friend to his job now.

Alright. Weight of Words started because I wanted to try powers based on words and ended up building a world around it, plus I wanted to make an OC that controls paper. Hopefully I'll find a new idea interesting enough to build a world around.

Might try something based on swordsmanship, as long as I can find a way to avoid making it feel too close to Demon Slayer

Oh man, I thought about this 5 minutes after I left, and you said you want your character to control paper—a power system based on Arts and Crafts. The users are kids whose parents are supernatural beings, and their unstable, still-developing powers become Craft Tricks. Its Rugrats meet Naruto, and you OC could use Papier-mâché based abilities.

That was before I made Weight of Words. I made a character that turned the ability to create and control paper into something surprisingly powerful. Even for individual OCs, I haven't found a power idea interesting enough.
