It might be neat to see your take on some of the Cinder Spires characters if you've read the book.
S1C0:
Thank you for stating that out, what would also be cool is doing Batman's rogue gallery i would particularly like scarecrow and the riddler.
Sanctaphrax:
This is more like what I expected.

John Clarke; a minor official at the UNHQ who inherited the duty of keeping the original of the Unseelie Accords safe from everyone, including Mab.

I haven't, I'm afraid. I'll need a description if you want me to do anything.

Not sure I could do justice to those two. There are a bunch of versions, and I'm not terribly familiar with any of them...
Give me a brief writeup for your preferred version of each and I'll see what I can do.

We live to please.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with, especially for John Clarke.

Watchmen never really puts any solid limits on what Dr. Manhattan can do. So this is pretty speculative.
I think this is the second-highest-Refresh character I've written.
Athletics, here, represents mobility and defense more than traditional athletic ability. I can't remember any scene where he does anything more traditionally athletic than walking. But you're gonna have a hard time hitting or outrunning the guy unless he lets you.

That's really awesome, I like what you've done very much! Im trying to spot if there is anything I recall him doing that's not covered by one power or another, but I dont think there's much missing. There's not much of a gap between Variable Abilities and Miracles, so things like large scale enlargement or multiple bodies would be covered. Definitely proper god-levels.
I do feel like his Immunity should be connected to his scholarship like his other abilities, somehow. He described his ability to put himself back together as the first thing he learned in his new form.
His prophesy should perhaps be limited by a Catch, since the bad-guy was able to deceive his future sense via a large burst of tachyons (listing on the wiki as more or less his only weakness).
PS, out of curiosity, what /is/ the highest refresh character you've written?
