Okay, first off, and I don't mean this to be rude, but punctuation can really help the reader understand what you are trying to say. There are several places where I have no idea what you mean simply because I can't follow the sentence well without punctuation.
Now, onto the topics at hand:

This is going to be a lot like power customization, except a lot more work. Basically, the animators would need to create a new animation for each powerset that is there for nothing but RP (actually, three, since you need one for each basic body type). I also have no idea why standing around would have to be a "non-power Taunt." Where does taunt come into play with these? Running around on all fours is potentially possible, but would have to be done similar to "Walk" most likely, so it would shut off all of your other powers.| Animation toggle or non-power taunt: it would be really cool if you can have animation you can toggle like, if you make a beast like character and you can walk on all fours by toggling it in your tray at the bottom. Or you can toggle an animation for the sake of role-playing you have a brute and you want to cause a mini earth-quake it be a non-power taunt you can do while PVPing I would like to see toggled non-power taunt for each power there is; martial arts toggle character will do tai chi until the character turn the toggle off; a mind control character uses his mind to lift his body off the ground as a mediating toggle, a super-speed users has a toggle when they run you here a sonic boom. |

New power-pool super sonic flight: as a alternate Ultra speed powerpool this power would work like teleport and flight put toegther you start off as a normal flight but you select a area you would like to Super sonic dash to in the air you disappear leaving a shockwave to appear at the selected location. Hyper sonic dash: this power works like the above but for super speedtsers this also would be like teleport but you select the area you want to dash to your character gets into a Olympica like-running stance and takes off with a thunderous boom instead of a shock wave; you leave a after-image of your character to reappear sliding trying to stop. I seen this in so many american comics flash..superman...etc.. Ultimate Leap: this power would work like Quroboros portal (can't remeber the spelling) you select what zone you want to go to: your character bend at the new and leaps off changing zone as it loads you see yourself descending from the sky to land on the ground creating a huge crack in the ground. |
Also, what does Teleport get to balance it with these suggestions?

| Power swap: I would like to see this as in store item or a achieveable in-game mission I played many pay-2-play games and I was wondering how do you swap your powers out, if you don't like them you should be able to change out powers instead of starting all over to get that power. this will give player the ability to try all powers out without having to make tons of toons to do so. If there those who disagree just simply making it online store item. |

Although the animations could be cool, these seem essentially to be travel powers that don't require you to travel, it which case there are already a multitude of ways to do this already and as said above, travel is easy anyway.

well, how about an alternate animation for teleport and make it a toggle so you could switch out the animation.

Hmm....why wouldn't they; would it mess with the pvp game play? or is it a lot of work, if so make it something that you would pay $10.92 This would bring more money to NCSOFT I don't think anyone would spend 10 bucks everytime to PVP with a different power that adds up.

There is also the fact that some sets bloom later than others, so it could be used as a form of exploit, leveling up, say, a /Regen Scrapper, then later switching to a /Shield scrapper. Or an Ice/ Tanker going to level 32, then switching to Stone for Granite Armor. There are a number of problems with it, added to the fact that the Devs have, on multiple occasions, said that they weren't even thinking of doing it.

This is already in the game and can be used by anyone, not just martial artists. Simply type /e kata. You'll cycle through the animation until you move.| martial arts toggle character will do tai chi until the character turn the toggle off |

simply toggle on fly and type /e yoga.
Your toon will hover in the yoga position until you move.

here are a few ideas:
Animation toggle or non-power taunt: it would be really cool if you can have animation you can toggle, like if you make a beast like character and you can walk on all fours by toggling it in your tray at the bottom. Or you can toggle an animation for the sake of role-playing. You have a brute and you want to cause a mini earth-quake it be a non-power taunt you can do while PVPing. I would like to see toggled non-power taunt for each power there is; martial arts toggle character will do tai chi until the character turn the toggle off; a mind control character uses his mind to lift his body off the ground as a mediating toggle, a super-speed users has a toggle when they run you here a sonic boom.
New power-pool super sonic flight: as a alternate Ultra speed powerpool this power would work like teleport and hover put toegther you start off as a normal flight your character twist there body around with gathering speed to take off but you select an area you would like to Super sonic dash to in the air you disappear leaving a shockwave to appear at the selected location on the map.
Hyper sonic dash: this power works like the above but for super speedtsers this also would be like teleport, but you select the area you want to dash to your character gets into a Olympic like-running stance and takes off with a thunderous boom instead of a shock wave; you leave a after-image of your character to reappear sliding trying to stop. I seen this in so many american comics flash..superman...etc..
Ultimate Leap: this power would work like Quroboros portal (can't remeber the spelling) you select what zone you want to go to: your character bend at the knee and leaps off changing zone as it loads you see yourself descending from the sky to land on the ground creating a huge crack in the ground. (Or you can make Super Sonic Flight and Hyper sonic dash a really cool zone changing power)
Power swap: I would like to see this as in store item or a achieveable in-game mission I played many pay-2-play games and I was wondering how do you swap your powers out, if you don't like them you should be able to change out powers instead of starting all over to get that power. this will give player the ability to try all powers out without having to make tons of toons to do so.
