Angelica

An unnamed moderator who I already knew before getting to this game (who definitely isn't MarkR) has convinced me to stick to the heroine. I guess I'll just apply for a villainess at some time in the future or perhaps submit her as an NPCish character.

Well, it would be scrapping this character, I don't really see how Ionica would be able to make a decent villainess. She'd be a decent minion type villain, but given her lack of intelligence, she'd be horrible for other purposes.

While at work (I do have some time where I do boring stuff where my brain can be either turned off or used for other purposes), I did think a bit. Would it be better for this game with a villain(ine) rather than a heroine? Is Villainine even a word? Because I did come up with an idea for a villain I'd think would be interesting to play, if the game would benefit more from that than another flying brick/superman copy. :)

Has it really been that long? Wow. And it's still awesome. :bunny:

To be able to do that... I envy you. :oops:

Done

I don't know if this one is better, it's using a lot of the same things, but doesn't have an alternate form and is actually even more Wonder Man'y. The background was changed and made less dark and more fluffy. Her powers are now far more simple, with only a couple of alternate powers. This was actually my first draft, before I thought up how cool an energy form would be. Players Name: Angelica Power Level: 10/150 PP Characters Name: Lady Ionica Alternate Identity: Lucy Hewitt Height: 5'9 Weight: 120 lbs Hair: A mix of blue and blond Eyes: Glowing Red Common description: A rather attractive woman with glowing red eyes and a hair which is both blue and blonde. Her age is somewhere in the mid teens, perhaps 16 or 17. On her upper body she has a V tank top, with half being blue, while the rest is yellow. On this tank top is the symbol of a red lightning bolt. Around her waist she has what appears to be a belt made out of lightning, similar to the lightning on her chest. She wears a short skirt and her legs are otherwise bare. On her feet she wears a pair of blue and red boots. History: Lucy's father left before she was even born, perhaps he never even knew that he was about to become a father. And Lucy's mother was only 15 when she became pregnant and definitely unable to handle the pressures for being an only mother. It didn't really help that Lucy's grandparents were deeply religious and had kicked their daughter out of the house. Lucy's childhood was not pleasant. Her mother was more busy with drowning her sorrows in alcohol, than taking care of a child. It was also for this reason that Lucy hardly ever went to school. She was being teased for her ratty and smelly clothes and therefore preferred to stay away and it's not like Lucy's mother said anything to it, she was too busy drinking her brains out. At the age of 9 Lucy became an orphan, her mother's liver couldn't handle the heavy drinking. And without any social network behind her and no relatives wanting to acknowledge her, she ended up in an orphanage, though she fled after only a couple of weeks, after a fight with some of the other orphans. It was at this point she first became homeless. For the next years Lucy lived on the street, learning how to steal and beg. Until she was caught stealing at the age of 13 and ended up in juvenile hall. But like the orphanage she hated it and together with a few others, she was able to flee. Recently Lucy was a bystander to a fight between the White Knight and some unknown hero, when she was digging through some trash in a container just outside ASTRO LABS, hoping to find some spare parts or anything else of value, so she could sell it and get a meal. Suddenly she found herself flying, as the White Knight had picked it up. The hero evaded and then heavy metal container crashed through the wall into ASTRO. And Lucy was catapulted out of it, directly into the rays of some experimental ion generator. And then everything blacked out. When she woke up she found herself in a hospital bed, but knowing the costs of being in such a place, she tried to remove the monitoring equipment, only to find herself slinging it across the room, for the first time discovering her powers. She snuck out in the confusion after that and returned to the streets. Over the last couple of weeks she has come to realize just how much the event changed her. She's incredibly strong, capable of flight, can create lightning bolts and that's only the beginning. Her body is a limitless battery, making her regenerate from injuries, yes, even death. At first she thought of using this to steal, but then after not growing hungry after a couple of days, she realized that she did not need food or water, not even air, so the need for thievery wasn't really necessary. Becoming a heroine was actually more of an accident than anything she planned. She jumped in and stopped a mad driver, who was chased by the police, just before he was about to hit a group of children. As she realized just how good it made her feel inside, a warmth and joy she hadn't felt before, Lucy made up her mind, she wanted to become a heroine. While most don't notice it, her costume is actually made of trash, stitched together from various outfits that people have discarded and has no use for either.

Thank you! Yeah, I did draw most of my inspiration from Wonder Man and his powers. Oh, okay, didn't know that. I'll add that drawback and remove the complication then. Will do. Yeah, she only got her 'true' natural form, which is energy, and then the physical form. Is that extra done on a permanent power, so it basically becomes continuous? Or how is it done? Her insubstantial energy form is her natural form and it shouldn't really be possible to boost, nullify or drain that, hence why I made it innate. The rest of her powers can be nullified, drained or boosted freely.

In bookly form I've got only a few, but I have many on pdf, mostly because my book provider doesn't import the system and if I'm buying it from other places, it costs a fortune to have it sent. M&M 1E Core Rulebook Gimmick's Gadgets M&M 2E Core Rulebook Freedom City 2E Hero High Ultimate Power In pdf I've got most other books from Green Ronin, for instance Book of Magic, Iron Age, Golden Age, Worlds of Freedom, Masterminds Manual, many Archetypes books, etc. Also got the Algernon Files from BlackWyrm.

Congratulations, Ecal. Enjoy your birthday! :lol:

... I enjoy long walks on the beach and spending time with generous men... Uhm, wait, not a dating agency? Darn, oh well, then I guess I should introduce myself differently. :bunny: My name is Angelica, so I guess my identity is not so secret anyway. I'm 28 years old, live in a small apartment in Denmark, and when I'm not online, I'm selling wallpaints, wallpapers and other stuff for putting on the walls, floor, ceiling and doors of your house. I'm single and enjoying the freedom this offers me. I've been playing RPGs for a long long time. I'm not really sure for how long, but it became more serious when I was around 15 or 16. Started out with D&D (the oldish boxed set), then moved into other systems. Bought M&M1E back in 2002 or 2003, but haven't really played M&M much, as my pen & pencil group are not comic readers (preferring fantasy) and dislikes systems where you have some freedom in creating your character (yes, they are celebrating the abomination called D&D4e).
