BESMd10:Character Types
From BluWiki
The BESM d10 system makes use of two different basic levels of character: Shaker and Power. The terms indicate a basic level of raw power and are not literal. Powers may not always be the dominant power, shakers don't always affect the world as much as they'd like, and participants could very well be the dominant power.
Shakers
These are real players, who've been thrown against the odds and come out alive. Maybe they won, maybe they lost, maybe they hate what they became or maybe they love it, but these are people who aren't just starting out in life. Think Wolfwood, Uryu, and Walter. They're living it and loving it or living it and hating it, either way, they're probably living it dangerously. Shakers are usually affecting their world in a big way. They are more more skilled, more experienced, and usually more talented than Participants. Their extra attribute and quality points should reflect this.

Powers
If Participants merely live in it and Shakers move their world in a big way, Powers literally dominate it, most of the time. Think Goku, Alucard, Vash, and most titular characters. These guys are the power in their universe. Or at least, one of the powers.
