Hi, I am somewhat new I have been lingering around for about a week thinking of a character. I got nothin....except a name which is Roulette.
If anyone can suggest some powers for that name that would be greatly appreciated.

well i guess he could have the ability of luck, like he could dish out good or bad luck
then there is alwasy accelerated probability which is the ability to see all possible outcomes of an event an choose the best course (extra bonus is usually ull see them have enhanced speed or reflexes)
maybe a power that is harmful part of the time like a game of roulette where his power could be like faulty or uncontroled as of yet
maybe u could do something that pertains to the actual game, like they could have the ability to slow the momentum of objects, or speed them up
maybe something were he creates a red aura and the objects in it do something, and a black aura that does something different, and then a green one but each aura is random so like hes playing a roulet board

LMAO And then there is the obvious luck altering powers, though I was trying to think of something more original before I replied (since there's a luckster in the Institute and in the Brotherhood). Not that two is a whole lot, but I was still trying to think of something really creative to fit the name Roulette. Hmm... |

I always hate coming up with powers for a name...much easier to come up with a name from powers. Would you be willing to not use the name Roulette? And what kind of powers were you thinking? elemental, psychic, physical, etc?

Trust me, being a mathematician specialized in probabilities, I would know xD. Rohan is a hedger, for instance. He skews probability distributions (their auto-correlation, in fact). His net expectance is zero, but he redistributes risks. Roulette... could be a "take or double" power. Very risk-enhancing. Imagine you could "retake" any bet. But every time you took it again, it became riskier. Like, the stakes double at each try. You can show that you almost surely win money if you can do that infinitely many times, but that you loose almost surely if you are forced by some additional rule (typically by a limited life span) to stop. So Roulette could be a time/probability bender. Able to "retake" a bet, even if it meant increasing dramatically the stakes (in practice, this means that the worst case scenario suddenly becomes a loooot worse... and a lot more probable). |

So... like an undo button, or rather a do-over button, but resetting an event has a chance of making things worse instead of better? |

That one might work...the re-do thing but I don't know how that wwould work.
Yes I am willing to not use the name Roulette and for powers I don't know, I have wolverine drilled into my brain right now but I know we are not allowed to use adamantium on this site....I don't know what I want really. I did want to use elemental but I hate choosing eleements so I asked if I could use them all and just lean them over a long period of time but was denied that somewhat, plus thaqt would turn extremely OP I think. I have no clue what I want in this respect, its so much easier to think of powers for mutatns that I know would not be accepted....saddening really.
and yeah, thats about it. Physical powers might work though....
