Genre: Low-Powered Supers
Uses:
1) Combat: the most basic use is: AoA and AoD at the same time.
2) Long actions: hurrying long actions w/ ATR and doing them effectively well with SM help make the character useful in other things.

personal note: can't think of a better name at the moment.

Celerity [50pts]: Altered Time Rate (-55%; Costs Fatigue: 1FP for 20 seconds, -5%; Reduced Duration: from 60 to 20 seconds, -20%; Takes Recharge: 10x the amount of time the ability is used, -30%;) [45]; Single Minded [5]

I question some of the limitations you've put on this.
Costs Fatigue (1 FP per 20 seconds, -5%) + Reduced Duration (60 to 20 seconds, -20%), totals -25% to pay 1 FP per 20 seconds.
The canon Costs Fatigue (1 FP per second, -10%) is 10%.
Something that gives a higher limitation value should not be less limiting. The problem is with the Reduced Duration limitation you've applied to this. I haven't found this limitation in either Characters or Powers, which leads me to suspect it's a house rule; it also leads me to suspect that it is unbalanced in this context. I would instead try something like Maximum Duration (up to 1 minute, -65%), from Powers.

Also, the value you have for Takes Recharge, -30%, is specifically a one hour minimum recharge, or, if 10x the time required to use the ability if that is longer than one hour.

Protective Wall of Fluffy Feathers [+50]
Crushing Attack 5d (No Wounding -50%; No Knockback -10%; No Blunt Trauma -20%; Rigid Wall +60%; Area Effect 4 yards +100%; Persistent+40%, Magical -10%; Takes 1sec Extra Time -10%)
Notes: By concentrating and muttering a few words, you can create a wall of fluffy feathers 12 yards long and 4 yards wide, which has DR15 and HP3.

Is it legal to remove all damage effects from the underlying IA to transform it into a wall?

In terms of rules, yes. Not sure if I'd allow it though; would allow you to put the wall enhancement on DR and use that instead but your way seems good actually. I never considered using it that way. :)

Or pay 3FP per minute and just make it a special effect that you pay one per 20 seconds. That should balance the cost out. Don't think it would change the cost of Costs FP, would it?

I would never allow a "create wall" type of effect as an Innate Attack. I'd do a combination of Create and Control.

What is the Wall/Rigid enhancement for, then?

EDIT: Please answer here.

I think that's a better idea. Remove the Reduced Duration, make it cost 3FP per minute (-15%), and then figure out what you want to do in terms of the Takes Recharge limitation.

Notes: You're a firefighter in the 21st century. What more need I say?

I should probably whittle this down to not be option-filled... shoot.

[GnomesofZurich]

With regards to the Firefighter template, I would make +1 ST, +1 HT and Fit all mandatory. That's a career where you need to stay in shape, for your own safety and to perform the job properly.

Resistant to Disease seems a little out of place; although there is nothing preventing a firefighter from having this, they don't seem any more likely to have it than anyone else.
