Hello Forum,
my name is Jazzhands or you can call me Frankie. I suggested a few Ideas in the Discord, some People there know me as "Jack".
I hope my Ideas are fresh and constructive and my english is understandable. Couse I´m a Kraut, guten Tag.
I introduced there my Charakter .. well Jack. He is from another universe, but I would also be very happy to create him in this universe. For that there would be some Pools and Looks that are needed.
Wait, only for my Charakter? No of course not! But I think it pushes some Devs to create creative Ideas.
First of all, we would need a bunch of Tattoo options. Personally I would want that for the charakter creator, buuut.. you can also tie them to the Power Set I want to explain next. But yeah, tattoos please!
The Power: The Power that I imagine is a Rune-Magic Power. You know Runes, mostly every fantasy Story/game/movie has them. Now let me explain how to use and portrait them.
There could be different Ways to do that Power, first lets do the Stalwart and Enforcer. That two are simple, both can have runic tattoos on their body that allow them little buffs, if time-limited or channeled, thats up to balancing. These tattoos can be shown with a glow on the body thats what I meant earlier with 'tattoo options tied to the power pool'. The Stalwart gets more defensive runes and the Enforcer of course more offensive Runes. And its up the creation if there are Runes for Weapons or sigils for the Ground. The last too could be used as buffing others or creating safezones (Guardian), trapping with sigils on the ground for the Operator.
I hope this Idea makes it, couse its a personal favorite.
Edit 1: You can vary in Animations too, demonic Runes, Nature Runes or some Devine Runes? I Think that is doable too.
To the next Power. This one was in the CoX but ONLY for the Range-DD Pools. My Idea was to recycle that old Pool and modding it.
What makes me hope is here the Video of the CC power where the gangsters are dancing. If there is Music involved when you activate a Power of that, that would be neat.
Buut lets keep that aside and lets fokus to the part where I want to see some Sonic Pool: The Stalwart.
ImO a Sonic-Barrier with much other Powers would be possible. Maybe you have some more suggestions here? If possible I would create a Stalwart with Sonic-Powers.
Now two Ideas that just poped up in my head.
First, a Sumo based animation set for Super-Strength, I thougt it would be a good Idea if you plan to make some Movement-Sets for Powers.
And that Idea brought me to another Animation or Power-Pool Idea.
I have to tell a bit before I mention it. I play Monster Hunter at the moment, and you know there are this hunters with the redicilous large Weapons? Yes and thats It. There where a few Power Sets inclouding Weapons in the CoX games, but it could be an alternate Animation-Set for some huuuge meele Weapons or it could be a own Pool. The choice is up to you or its a bad Idea.
Feel free to tell me your opinion in a constructive way.
Hope I see some additions and Ideas

Welcome to the forums, Jazzy!
I like these ideas, and think they should be posted in the [url=https://cityoftitans.com/forum/animation-suggestion-thread]Animation Suggestion Thread[/url]. Of course, some of them seem quite similar to others that are already there, or at least that I've seen elsewhere (maybe in the aforementioned Discord?). I know the tattoos were mentioned in one or another [url=https://cityoftitans.com/forum/costume-request-thread-20]Costume Request Thread[/url], and the Oversized Weapons for Indiscriminate Whacking would be in the [url=https://cityoftitans.com/forum/prop-request-thread-20]Prop Request Thread[/url]. Or, if not, they should be!

So many threads. Is it ok to leave a link in the mentioned Threads that lead here? Didnt want to make mess there, sry.
"Walking down the street and you hear that heavy beat. You can't help but walk your feet, down all the way 'til we meet"~
Yep as Foradain pointed out we have several dedicated threads for these kinds of suggestions. The basic idea is to keep all of them together in the same threads so that they hopefully don't get lost over time. Making a suggestion would do no good if a relevant Dev could never see them. ;)
Sure whatever works for you. To be clear a few of us "players" set up those threads so there's really no rules beyond just trying to make sure things don't get lost in the weeds. :)
Also don't worry about repeating anything - I've always figured that if multiple people are asking for the same thing that should indicate to the Devs how important it is.

Now that the where and how to post is out of the way.
It sounds like you think that powers in CoT will be made in the same way as they were in CoX, which is not true. There will be a very big difference in that the mechanics of a power is completely separate from the aesthetics (looks), therefor there won't be "rune powers" but rather "rune [b]aesthetics[/b]". As far as I have ben able to determine there will be minimum criteria to what powerset can use which aesthetics, so if Enforces gets "offensive runes" for their primary then Stalwarts will be able to choose them for their secondary.
Aesthetics will also be much more modular than it was in CoX since you will choose character animation, prop (weapon), power/projectile "trail", hit animation/effects, and maybe something else separate from each other. Add in coloring choices and you will most likely be able to make something look like something completely different.
I like that, but I also think that my Ideas can give the Dev´s some creative Pushs for such 'aesthetics'. Hope I can be a Tester someday then I can see what you mean directly. But anyway it sounds like you can be very individual, that I like.
