You may draw from Heroes Handbook, Power Profiles, Gadget Guides, Hero High, Cosmic Handbook, Basic Heroes Handbook, Beginner's Guide, or Freedom City. Characters begin at PL8 and must be of high-school age (15) or the equivalent in whatever aging system their culture uses. You don't even have to be human (though a humanoid form is convenient)! You could be from another dimension or outer space, or a lost world. Anything is possible.
You may not have any Expertise skills except arcane lore, art, current events, history, popular culture, streetwise, tactics, and theology/philosophy. You may take a maximum of 4 levels of Treatment. Exceptions may be made for heroes whose schtick is dependent on a certain skill (such as science). Talk to your GM.
Tell us about yourself. What is your name? Do you have a hero name yet or will you be looking to come up with one? Are you the legacy of a long line of heroes, or are you the only one in your family with powers? Are you a native of Freedom City, or new to the area?
Don't neglect your family. Who raised you? Do you have any siblings? Are your grandparents alive? Are your parents separated, divorced, widowed? Are they dead and you were raised by your extended family? Be sure to include details like this in your write-up.
If you are knowledgeable about Earth-Prime in general, or Freedom City specifically, feel free to incorporate such details into your backstory. The one thing that you should not be is an established hero. You may have been out once or twice on patrol or may have used your powers, but your hero name (if you have one) should not be known to the public. If you want to be brand new to your abilities and still discovering what you can do, that's fine too!
