I think, in terms of individual characters,  a nice diversity of views has already been mentioned here so I have no intention of stepping on with opinions there.<br/><br/><br/>I do feel do to the characters I occupy, that I have some obligation to speak to a larger issue here:<br/><br/>As someone that does play one of the alphas-with-omega potential, along with canon alphas, I just wanted to please, Please, PLEASE invite anyone who fears being overshadowed by anyone I am playing to be bold and approach me about it.  I've felt 'rendered useless' on games before and it cost me lots of happiness so I'd like to try and work with anyone who feels that way:  that doesn't mean I'd walk away from the character, mind you, but I am highly reflective of peer critique as long as it is delivered respectably and in a manner that doesn't feel too publicly ostracizing.  I did make a very deliberate choice to have Julian's psionic blocks going strong for this very reason so his telekinetic abilities were notably dampened.  It's for similar reasons I opted to give Josh Foley more of an immediate-after-M-Day version of his personality (and then some added humbleness on top of that), so he didn't have superhero levels of cockiness, as well 'force' him into a low constitution system where 2-4 attempts at power in any 24 hour period would put him into a coma.  (All of these things are on respective character sheets, obviously.)  That's not saying that I'm perfect and have accounted for feelings of being overshadowed; that *does* mean 'look, I'm trying to keep my character's power level within a moderate range, so I'm hoping that indicates I am open to respectfully-worded peer feedback on the issue'.<br/>
