(Just a note. This is a much older mod of mine I made for a private server with some friends over a year ago. It doesn't meet my current goals for mod making but, I thought it would be a waste to not upload it anywhere. For that reason, and being busy in general, don't expect updates on this mod.)
The Gotcha Origin!
The Gotcha Origin is an ever changing origin with about 70 different powers to play with. When selecting the origin you'll be given your current list of powers in the chat (There is also a keybind to view the power list again).

Your set of powers shuffles everytime you select the origin, die, or use your secondary power button (15 minute cooldown).
You will always be given 2 positive powers (Green), 2 negative powers (Red), 0, 1, or 2 neutral powers (Yellow), and 1 active power (Purple)
The powers themselves are a combination of powers from the base origin mod, powers from scrapped origins of mine and friends, and powers made in house for this mod specifically. To be exact, 20 powers are good, 20 are bad, 10 are neutral, and 20 are actives.
Due to the sheer amount of powers I'll just show run through some of my favorites:
- Head Eater: All heads are now editable, healing the player 5 hearts instantly.
- Rocket Jump: The player blasts up and forward very fast, decimating anything in there way!
- Bounce Beam: Fires a beam dealing 0 damage and sending targets skyward.
- Size Change: Lets you grow and shrink up to 8 times in either direction.
- Hexed: Replaces natural regen with a totem effect on a cooldown.
