I'm going to post a series of powers that were listed on Dan Hamilton's MSHAG game book compilation. I can't be sure this power, and others that I will post, are by him or that he found them by someone else and added it to the file. I - and him, too, I'm sure - would love feedback on them.
===================
GEMINI
Trump Suit: Agility
Exemplars:
Related powers: Duplication, Gestalt
With this power, your hero is able to split him or herself into two opposite and equal beings by making an average Gemini (Agility) action. Each one of these versions has the same ability scores, skills, powers, and Edge / Hand Size as the original character. However, the two versions, Alpha and Omega, each represent different aspects of the character. The actual difference varies with the individual but is always the same for that hero; sometimes one is coldly logical and the other passionately emotional, or possibly one is male and the other female, or even extremes like one being good and the other evil. The two resemble each other, and the original hero, enough to pass as siblings and can remain apart indefinitely if they stay within firing distance of each other. If they are separated beyond that range, they each begin to become weaker, losing one point every hour in all ability scores and power intensities. The only way to be restored to full strength is if they merge back together again. To accomplish this, they must either be touching or within striking distance of one another and must make an average Gemini (Agility) action. The reunification occurs as a contingent action and the hero gains all the memories of the two versions. If one of the versions of the hero is killed, as long as the other survives, the hero reunifies automatically, regardless of distance, with all the memories of the deceased up to the point of death. The Gemini intensity drops to 0 for a week, after which time the deceased version can be recreated and Gemini can be used as usual. This power cannot be taken at an intensity of less than 15.
Limit--Degradable: If a version of the hero is killed, the intensity of Gemini permanently drops by 1.
Limit--Personality Clash: The hero's Alpha and Omega versions have different Callings and personalities to each other and the hero. Much like real siblings, they will undoubtedly bicker and argue, although they will still defend one another even if they may not share the same agenda as the original hero.
Stunt--Instant Recreation: With this stunt, if one of the versions is killed, the time for recovery takes only an aura duration instead of a week and the hero is restored to his or her full edge, health, ability and power scores immediately.
Stunt--Rangeless: The versions of the hero can exist at any range indefinitely.
Stunt--Remote Reunification: The two versions of the hero can reunify with each other regardless of distance, assuming that they are in the same dimension.
