Go for it, Fate Man.

You may have seen this - but if not, it helps:

As for attributes, loads to choose from but as a starter:

Strength, Agility, Magic, Intelligence, Courage, Superpower, Loyalty, Kindness, Comrades, Wealth and so on

Having never played a computer game in my puff, I can't help you, and I'm slightly embarrassed  to admit that I don't understand some of the terms and questions.  But, I would like to know what characters you end up with. :)

You need to think that through for yourself - it's your game - that's part of the fun

This may help:

https://www.wikihow.com/Write-Rules-for-Your-Own-RPG

To get you started, you might consider the following:

1) Popular public domain golden age characters:

https://pdsh.fandom.com/wiki/Public_Domain_Super_Heroes

2) Campaign world - could be jungle-based, city-based (in a parallel world where action heroes exist), during  a major war, in a supernatural or magical domain - anything you like. You could even use more than one by having heroes pass through levels when they achieve a certain number of points

3) As for the underlying plot driving the game, making the characters interact (the McGuffin as it is sometimes called), you might look at some of the following:

I hope that helps

I can do a character creation system which allows anyone to choose their own powers and skills.
Thank you again guys.

Are you using Unreal?

If so, Google this and you will find some tutorials:

About 20 years ago a friend and I created a setting for superhero RPGs with golden age, silver age, bronze age and what then was the "modern" age heroes. Some were analogues of classic characters, some were hybrids, some were completely our own idea. We had a Web site for it which no longer exists. We had a lot of fun. I'm sure you will, too, and the more you can make it your own, the more satisfying it will be.
