Game mechanic guidelines for creating characters in 2012: AotS:
1) Background. Create the character you were before the 2012 Event. Create a character with a maximum of 75 Points, using the lower of PL5 caps and the "normal human" caps outlined in the "2012" thread. You cannot spend any points on Powers at this stage. You do NOT have to spend all 75 points at this stage; any unspent points can be used for Step 2. Any of the Supporting Characters from pp. 266-267 of the "DC Adventures Hero's Handbook" could be used, modified or as is, for this. Keep in mind, at this stage, your character is still a normal, "real world" human. Try to pick Ability scores, Defenses, Skill ranks, and especially Advantages, that would make sense for a real person.
2) The 2012 Event. Choose an Origin from the "2012" thread, above (Millennial, Chimera, Indigo, Supernatural, or NEXTGen). Subtract any points you spent in Step 1 from 180. Use the remaining points to create a PL 12 Super, following the rules for your particular origin. ALL of these points MUST be spent on Powers, and cannot be directly spent on Abilities, Defenses, Skills, or Advantages. Note, however, that you can spend points on them through the Enhanced Trait power (you cannot apply the Permanent Flaw to Enhanced Traits in 2012: AotS).
3) The Agony That Is Life. Pick at least two Complications in addition to any you may be required to have for your Origin.
