Okay, I moved some things around to both clean up Yuki's build and take advantage of her new pl 11 caps. Also added a new complication to match the improvement of her Spider-sense

Players Name: Joshua

Power Level: 10 (153/155 pp)

Unspent PP: 2

Characters Name: Tarantula

Alternate Identity: Yukio Mishka

Height: 5’5â€Â

Weight:175 lbs

Hair: Blond

Eyes: Brown

Description: Yukio carries with her a sort of rugged beauty, one that only a select few may find as beautiful. Her skin carries an off-white tint, her hair a reddish auburn, and her eyes a dusty brown. Her circular eyeshape, normal nose, and medium lips keeps her from being a stunning knockout.

History: Project 9 appeared to be a rousing success. As the Illuminati vice chancellor viewed the growing form in the chemical filled vat he was filled with pride. The genetic material and technology provided and stolon from various labs around the world were acting as promised. All data indicated the clone growing in the vat was vastly superior to her genetic donor. Exceptional physical abilities on a lightweight but durable skeletal structure were the least impressive of the child’s features. Brain scans indicated exceptional psychic potential as well.

Project 9 was birthed when she reached physical maturity and Agent 6 was assigned to handle education and indoctrination. Agent 6 selected a spider for psychological programming believing that the arachnid’s small size would allow her to instill a sense of vulnerability, while it’s predatory nature would allow her to push Project 9’s potential. She designated Project 9 Tarantula and began work.

Under Agent 6’s instruction and mental programming techniques, Tarantula learned to utilize her superior physique and manifested her psychic abilities with a spider theme. By generating psychic ectoplasm she could adhere to surfaces and generate webbing (she seems to enjoy using her fingers to produce the psychic webbing). She also developed a psychic ability to detect threats that entered or arose in her general area, through this ability has been known to be spotty at best.

Tarantula’s training was going well until her first planned field exercise. The mission was simple. Go from point A to point B. Arach-Miss left location A as planned and proceded to not arrive at location B. Her homing tranmitter was located on a Pit Bull Terrier in the suburbs. Tarantula was missing and Agent 6 fled before her superiors could hold her responsible.

Complications:

:arrow: Enemy [Hunted by Illuminati]- Every exploit Yukio does in public, risks exposure to the Illuminati. Whenever she risks public exposure (television coverage that can be seen nationally), she gains a hero point.

:arrow: Phobia [Tight and enclosed spaces; Underwater; Needles]- Yukio has been a lab rat most her life, and now that she has a taste of freedom, there is no going back for her. Enclosed spaces, being under water, or needles sticking into her are three things that on a failed WILL check will cause Yukiko to 'freeze' up and miss her turn. Memories of her time in the labs will resurface.

:arrow: Responsibility [Protecting Angela Creed (Agent 6), Job as courier for Newspaper, High school student]- Yukio must share the responsibility of protecting her adoptive mother, her job as a freelance paper carrier (which often is used to finance her vigilante night job), and being a junior in high school. She has a reputation of being late and lax in her studies due to her crime-fighting. Whenever Yukiko is late to school or work, is forced to choose between earning money and saving lives, or her mother is in danger, she earns a hero point.

:arrow: Secret [identity]- This is obvious. If her secret Identity is endangered, she gains a hero point.

:arrow: Phobia [Fear of trusting men] Yukio due to her cruel early child hood around male scientists and the kindness of a woman scientist, has a rough time connecting with males and an easier time around females. While she can interact just fine, whenever she has to 'trust' a male on anything interpersonal, she must make a WILL check to break past her own emotional walls. Failure will lead to her sealing up her emotions. If this leads to a dangerous situation, a hero point. She can communicate with other women, no problem.

:arrow: Vulnerable [No Danger Sense] Yukio without her Spider-sense, is like a one-legged man in a butt contest. While she'll still be formidable, most of her reflexes in and out of combat will be nullified. When this happens, she gains a hero point.

I'll do the calculations later today/tomorrow, but basically, I'm going to do a new Yuki.

Thing is, I was browsing her old build and discovered (and reminded) that not only was she a 153 pp build, but she had a remaining 2 pp waiting.

Add that to the possible 6 I gain for my contributions with Mervyl that leads to a whopping 161 pps.

My question is, is it possible that I re-shape yuki while retaining the 161 pps?

Mervyl and Enigma will become Tier 2 npc's.

Mervyl acted quickly, not letting the devastation of his first blast get to his head. He fired a tighter, more precise blast a few feet ahead of the pack leader to get it's attention. When he did he looked the creature dead in the eyes.

"Didn't you hear me? I said sit!"

Mervyl pointed a palm at the beast and instead of a wide beam, a narrow, bluish beam originated, whiping this way and that like a stream of electricty (or a photon beam of Ghostbusters lore, where Mervyl got the idea), the bluish light slashed through the air to lick at it's target, crackling as it burnt various ions around it.

Move action: Startle attempt as a move action (-5 penalty already calculated in) (1d20+12=15)

Standard: Intimidate Check. No idea how high the pack leader's intimidate is, so I'm rolling for it. (1d20+17=28)

Surge: Power Attack to blast: -3 +3. If Hit, DC 30 Toughness (1d20+5=14)

**Re-roll**

VP reroll for above attack. (1d20+5=14) [9(+10)+5=24]

Vp to clear fatigue, so Mervyl has 3 vp left.

Power Attack Area Blast Aimed at the Leader. +3 to DC -3 to Attack roll (already calculated). Toughness DC 28 (1d20+5=25)

That's a critical hit. XD

Mervyl fists clinched and his eyes began to smoke. He already had a plan, based on what the four newcomers did.

"Blackbird take out the two surrounding us... I'm going to try and end this fight...

Mervyl extended an arm and in is palm was a swirling ball of magnatized ionic particles. An E-M disruptor wouldn't do here.... no...

He cliched the hand into a fist causing a mini explosion in his hand be for reopening it, firing a _huge_ magnetic wave of rainbow colored energy towards the wolf who was stuck and the wolves helping him. The super heated magnetic wave scorched the grass, causing a wide dirtt path in it's wake, kicking up dust as it went.. "Sit, boys."

Maybe it was the growling... or the paws scraping the grass...

Or the bad breath.

But what ever it was, Mervyl spun off Blackbird, scrambled to his feet and rose his Ionic shield. His eyes began glowing as bluish yellow energy began to pulsate in his clenched fists. What was that... thing?

We've got company! He shouted, as he started to scoot away from her and tried to get the creatures attention...

Init (1d20+2=7)

*sighs*

Mervyl's hand went to her chin, tipping her face up, and leaned forward...

Sad really. Very sad indeed.

And stopped, as his brain reminded him of his earlier statement. Oh, she's good. His brain was already locked on what she was doing and his body was STILL acting to her wiles.

Was she playing him? Was she not? She's right there offering herself...

Too Easy.

Surely, she's on the level. What has she done to NOT take advantage...

Too Easy.

Mervyl didn't like this... he was powerless, with no sense of purpose or direction... he needed air, he needed to breath... to think...

No you don't. She is playing you...

His rationality was dug into a foxhole firing salvos against his hormones... And for once his Rationality was losing. Mervyl is only human and slowly his head was moving forward...

Idiot... don't do it...

He was a centimeter away...

If your features were to be destroyed beyond recognition, is there any other way of identifying your body?

As a player, if you could, what advice would you give your character? Speak as if he/she were sitting right here in front of you. Use proper tone so they might heed your advice...

Mervyl, you need tobe more proactive. Seriously, stop thinking all the time. And you need to get some hobbies. You're strong enough. And you need to find yourself a nice goal that gives you a purpose. You won't be in school forever.

"Power comes from control... from discipline and tactics... from knowing your potential without using it..." Mervyl looked down at Blackbird. "Any thug can steal. Any thug can kill. I'm capable of so much more... THAT is what I want... that is what I will get."

Mervyl lifted up the metal ball and hovered it over him, tossing it up and down like a cat with a ball or yawn. "I can lift an entire train, you know... and recently I swatted down some dancing punk like he was nothing. I just don't feel it... I want more."

Mervyl eyes began to flicker with energy and his skin began to turn slightly whiter.

"I'm not a thief... but I respect honesty..." Mervyl played with her hair. Might as well take advantage of her flirting, right?. "You're not like those hypocrite 'heroes'. Sad really."

Mervyl continued to mess with her hair while looking to the night sky. "Power. What else is their? Either you're strong, or you're a victim. Left alone to deal with people stomping you down like a worm."

Mevyl head canted, but his face didn't change. He merely sliped his shades back on. "Depends on your definition of 'fun'. In this city, 'fun' has many synonyms. Like thievery, murder, burglary, and the like..."

He didn't like... something. Something about how she played off his look. Still, she handled herself well, and she didn't seem to be lying. "What do you have in mind, Blackbird?"

Mervyl slid his shades back doen to block the light as he rolled the ball to better support her. It felt nice to talk to someone else. Normally people in this city have ulterier motives. Hypocrites like that idiot 'Breakdown', Doctor Archville... even Captain Knievel. Just the fact that Mervyl was alive right now was a testement to Mervyl as to being careful who to trust...

Who to trust...

His eye's turned to Blackbird and they were far harder then before. "...you're not fishing me lines, are you. Seriously."

Mervyl blinked. He nearly jumped when he felt the finger. He didn't because he kind of expected her to be behind him. That was where most people would go if the could accomplish such things. Still, she shown a very specific weakness he may sooner or later have to fill.

Surprised or not, blood still rushed his face at the obvious flirtation. Cool down Mervyl."Impresive. So you know magic?"

Mervyl sat back down, watching the ground for foot impressions that would betray her movement. "Magic takes hard work to practice. I'm envious. Most pass off magic users as cheap con artists."

He soon gained a sense of being watched... nah, it's just Blackbird eyeing him while she's invisable. "...out of curiosity, do you do this with every guy you meet? Most females wouldn't get so close."

And his lack of experience shows through. Way to go, idiot.

Mervyl shrugged as he breathed out all his pent up excitement. All the excess was gone. So he did know the place.

"Gym huh, well I'm going to be a student there. I'm really looking forward toWHATDOYOUMEANYOU'RETEACHINGGYM!!?"

The exclamation caused another emp burst. Agtain, Kneivel's electronics flickered but held. He was about to get shot by one of his teachers... His Gym teacher no less.

Oh my God, he's going to die...

"Is it my fault you didn't invest in emp protection?"

Mervyl concentrated ihis excess energy into a ball in the palm of his hand... then crushed it in his fist, scatrtering it into thousand of small emp particles. there were some more flickering, but everything died down.

"Evanier Prep School" Mervyl wondered if Knievel even 'knew' of the place. "It's near Lantern Hill, so staying under the radar is not a problem. Even Silencer rarely go to those parts."

Mervyl took note, full note, of what Kneivel said. "And what sort of favors. I'm grateful for the help, but my loyalty first and foremost is to the school."

Mervyl wasn't on the ground per se, He was actually severel inches of it, hovering. He's going to crack flying. All he has to do is push...

Nope, NOW Mervyl was on the floor.

He listened to Captain as he got up and looked around. Wait a second, was this... Oh bloody heck. It was bad and getting worse. Meryl was almost terrified. Almost. But the adrenalin of battle and the elation of defeating Archville (with help) was still pumping in his system. So much so that he met Knievel's eyes with a solid steel look of his own. Some of the metal in the room, and some electronics flickered lightly as Mervyl slowly got to his feet. The teleportation must've magnetized him a bit. The excess energy slowy began to leak out through his eyes inn the form of silver-blue vapor. His face was like a smoking skull.

Mervyl really didn't know what to say. On the one hand, he didn't like being spoken down too... but yet, he did owe Kneivel. Tough to go to school when you're in juvi. "Fine. What of it?"

"Slow and stupid. Just like you."

Mervyl managed to latch onto a lampost and pull himself away from the Ice before it solidified. What saved him was the fact that the air around him was magnetically shielded (his shield was getting frozen, not him). All he had to do was yank himself away while mmomentarily flickering the shield, and he was free.

So now he was infront of Captain Knieval, lowering his voice. "Any bright ideas? I can't keep this up forever."

Cough.

It was sad really. Mervyl practically *knew* what she was doing. Yet the dumb idiot still fell for it. This is seriously the first female to actively flirt with him. Most others would either keep their distance, or annoy him to the point that he kept his. It was refreshing to say the least. He wordlessly stood up again, motioning Blackbird to back-up. He waited for her to get some distance from him, then he concentrated. At first, it looked like nothing was happening, but soon, yellowish sparks and tiny blue electrical currents began to form arond him, lashing out this way and that. A tiny sheet of metal was dragged to him from nearby, before stopping about a good five feet from him. Then a fire hydrant, a metal pipe, a car door, metal chain link fence, and various other metal doodads.

When all was said and done, Mervyl was buried under a pile of metal. The pile lifted off of him and Mervyl nodded to Blackbird to signal he was okay, before closing his eyes. The Pile began to get scrunched together before dropping to the ground beside them. The crater it formed revealed that the now newly formed metal ball was quite heavy.

"I can do other things, but it all boils down to the same concept. I can control the magnetic field that surrounds us." Mervyl shrugged. "I'm not a master of Magnetism... yet. But I hope to be someday."

Reflex save for Half Damage=> (1d20+6=21)

So, half damage.

Second Roll. DC Target is 15. I get => (1d20+6=20)

Mervyl is not snared. Thank you and good night.

Mervyl is aslo hitting Atlas with a DC 27 Intimidate. Skill Mastery.

As a move action, a startle attempt...

The DC of the Startle (1d20+12=28)

Note: this already includes the -5 for move action. His normal bonus is +17.

Mervyl had an idea form in his head. The brute was ignoring Knieval. If Mervyl kept his attention...

He rolled between the hulking monster's legs before standing on his feet and turning to face him. "What's wrong? Big dummy is to s-s-s-slow and to st-st-st-stupid to realize he's out matched?"

Mervyl began to gather magnetic energy into him and he released it in a short emp burst that cause electronics around him to flicker briefly to add to his menace. Light sources sparked, cars either started or turned off, car alarms started blaring. Charged ionic particles began to flicker around him and his eyes began to glow with sinister energy. "Don't you get it? I crushed Dr. Archville. What hope do 'you' have?"
