Wait so he can like take super op physical and energy hits and shrug it off?

Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

Well there are some obvious weaknesses to Ryker simply for being a human. Lack of oxygen or essential nutrients will kill him pretty quick. And because of how his power works, absorbing half the damage, if you were say, dying bleeding out or lit on fire, youd still die, it would just take twice as long (which would suck). Point is, every power has its downsides, no one is 'OP' if you know how to exploit them correctly.
I mean the power kinda is. He has pent up energy that makes his energy count almost unlimited (From Cyclone), and he is stubborn AF. He shrug's it off externally, and hides his pain. His primary weakness is his own personal thoughts and ideals. (Him thinking he has to protect everyone one, him not wanting to lose control, him always wanting to fight, his pride, his willingness to fight anyone no mater their power, his lack of insight, etc.). Ryker has the potential to be one of the world's strongest heroes, yet his own personal limitations set him back. By pure power, he is probably one of the strongest students in the school, but he is not the strongest fighter.
Have I been accepted yet? I’m just checking.
Well, in my defense Ry started that fight xD and the rest of my characters are teachers. They're supposed to give you a good walloping when you're doing things you're not supposed to do 
My student characters are much... tamer. Celia lost her first battle and Ryker basically took himself out. Honestly compared to Melusine's dislocated arm all ryker needs is a band-aid, or two...or ten.
On a side note, it might be better for you newcomers to make your posts before the time skip. We'll be moving the OCs to their own personal dorm via shadowy escort so you kinda need to be already present for that to happen.

Ryker needs 20 Band-Aids.....
Yeah, it would make sense. But I suggest having your OC Have been a student for the whole current year. (So you were there during the Viiper, Hellhound, and chaos incident, and would know of some important parts oft he school year, like the Infamous Trio, Rio’s incident, kids leaving the school). And you would have been there, but haven’t been involved with any of it, up to now.
Also here is some important info to know for newcomers.
—
Rio-Headmistress, been beaten up and out of duty recently.
Sky-Super chill Air Spirit Headmaster, who kinda just shows up whenever
Wystria-Kickbutt Janitor, who often has power writhing the school.
Viiper-Rio villain who was hiding under the school, and attacked early in the year. Killed tons of students. A few students fight against him, including the infamous trio.
Infamous Trio-Kevin McKnight, Ryker Willaims, and Aurora “Aura” Dew, and they are better know for their alias, Lizard Boy, Punch Dude, and Ice girl Respectvely throughout the school.
Hellhound Incident-Hellhounds attacked the school, and students were ushered to safety

Wait, so he can become Solid/liquid/gas/plasma (What the sun is made of)?

Of course there are side effects. Can’t have sun man roaming around and killing people by touching him. Also I’m thinking more of electricity than plasma
He essentially edits his body down to an atomic level

Good Point...

By the way... can you think of any side effects? (lol)
Gases and plasma disperse very easy, any one with a fan could probably kill you.
Well consider an overpowered fan like Sky. If he disperses you over an area of say... 200 m²? Yea, I doubt you'll be able to pull your body back together.
Also anything on a higher energy state than a solid has no definite form so detonating thing from inside you become a lot easier.
If you're a liquid manipulating air pressure could cause you to instantly boil into a gas, and gasses are usually very combustible.

That’s kind of OP?
Maybe?
I’m gonna need Rose to have the opposite if you do that.
(Also, I am sick. Don’t feel well.)

They have the standard quite high here, I think. Also how do you make an opposite? You can control others' bodies? That'd be even MORE op.
I take that back.
You’re right.
You always seem to be right, ugh.
So then what are my other options because I can’t do that and I agree that’s way too OP?

You said, "You always seem to be right, ugh." Didn't you? Please, I make too many mistakes. Don't bother being angered by me. I simply use the internet as a way of expressing myself as I'd like to be seen.
EDIT: I thought you edited that out, but you just made it invisible

Sorry. Just frustrated.

Also didn't you say you were going to choose Fear? Before I chose dark? BTW I only chose that since I thought it was new
Well, the thing with turning into objects like Darkness, gases, electricity and fire is that they don't have a fixed form. Which means you can be easily dissipated and if you are the end-results would usually be death.
Let me try to explain this real quick. Ever seen Naruto? Well, turning your body into things without a fixed form is like trying to enter sage mode. It's a nifty ability but mistakes are usually fatal. For things that blend into the environment so seamlessly you run the risk of actually blending into the environment. Permanently. Hence your character would need a lot of practice with more 'unstable' forms or a knowledgeable mentor.
Btw, that won't work on Sky. His mechanics are a lot trickier to deal with than yours. You'd probably just put yourself at a disadvantage by turning into gas when facing him.

I don't necessarily expect to be facing staff. Also wouldn't that have killed Zach a long time ago? He came here to better control his powers, if I might expect that something like that has happened before if that was true. (no offense) Also wind fuels fire...
A soft gentle breeze carrying Oxygen will fuel fire. A violent gust will snuff it out in an instant.
I'm just listing limitations to this type of form-shifting ability.
Well, we're not trying to kill him. Just saying that the nerf is that it's highly dangerous to transform into some things.
The power itself is rather tricky to nerf unless you limit the number of things he can transform into.
Hmm, it depends on what type of power you want your character to have. Most abilities usually have room for improvement and expansion.
SageNeb
Previously 5DigitNeb
I feel like more improvement would be too OP (for my OC). Also the reason why I'm trying to counter the highly dangerous to change, is because then it'd make his power useless. Though I understand where you're coming from. I think currently Zach would fail at most of his Heroish classes since he... well he CAN'T use his power. Like... he can't control it. At all. He can use it effectively, but he... well he has zero control. Hell he might turn into a shadow all of a sudden and be like that for all time with his power control abilities. Also, he doesn't really "blend" into his new form. It's like... his body changes into multiple different versions would be the most basic way of explaining it.
Heya, living fan here
Well, my only issue for this is that it's hard for you to have gradual improvement.
If he can't control his form then he would as you put it 'fail' at combat classes but on the other hand the instant he can control it he'd basically skyrocket to being OP.
I would still recommend keeping transformation to a single category.
We have one other shapeshifter (took me a while to find the bios) so you can use it as an example.
The shapeshifting doesn't have to be this basic but it needs a clear limiter other than 'just can't control it yet'. Because the key word there is yet.

@kyuukestu you know naruto right? I was thinking of Zach having something like a biju taking over if he uses his power too much or negative emotions flare too high. Then there'd be like a dark form of him that has fully taken over his body and mind
