Your job: to transport a package across a divided America. You play Pax: ex-con, outcast, con-artist, and Anomal with superhuman powers fuelled by disinformation. The year is 2030, three decades after the Broadcast.

Lots of fun RP opportunities in that kind of approach and plenty of control over balance.Dustborn is a third-person, single-player, story-driven, road-tripping action-adventure about hope, love, friendship, robots - and the power of words.
The DM could have its various powers first activate at times of high stress and then allow the character to master them at level appropriate times. You could do a similar thing with an Oni - perhaps cursed for its evil deeds to be unaware of its own true form. I've got an Elven Fighter in a campaign I'm running now who is gradually getting access to the powers of his family's dormant Moonblade as his heroic deeds restore it.
