I avoided talking about this earlier, but you can have more than one character this time around.
This is mainly due to there being other people on the planet this time, as it'd make sense for us to end up talking to others as well. You can control up to five characters, and due to this being a sequel to GotE that counter is already reduced to four as a good deal of us are coming from there. You're only allowed to use two or three of those characters 24/7, though, and under certain circumstances you're better off leaving one of them behind for a while.
For powers, as already decided before, those of the guardians will be greatly reduced. It'll be around a person's average control of their powers, but there will be moments they seem a little like veterans so there will be a suspicious person or two. Here's a little kicker, though; they're still connected to the world, even if the connection's faded and will not be the same. As such, if something happens to a guardian- a great loss, perhaps- and they get a little... Emotional, you can expect some kind of berserk from their element. This can happen with people who aren't guardians as well, but it's not common and few so large-scale as a thunderstorm and such, so you can expect questions on that as well.
Any questions? Any alterations you'd like made? There's a lot of other thoughts I have on this.
