That is exactly the point. (Of course the dm gets to decide the fluff, so they might come out a little different.)

I just heard the genre is action-comedy, so that doesn't give many limits. Also, the other player might just be investing most of their power points into unknown supernatural power. Which should keep us balanced.

As to playing another game system, given we are college students and the dm payed for a pdf of the book, I doubt we would. Also, the other option presented was not something I was interested in (a vaguely Traveller inspired cyberpunk d20 setting as I heard it explained).

It should be noted that in some ways, a crazy system is the perfect thing for a crazy one-shot.
