Moira Morley

This was not the weirdest thing Moira had seen. Growing up in a city of heroes and villains, this was Tuesday. Or, well, Saturday, now. Living on Olympus, this was an ordinary sight. Dionysus would round up as many of his maenads - and whoever else wanted to join in - and throw the most awesome benders. Some enjoyed themselves, dancing and drinking, among other things. Others, as the raving ones were prone to do, just used it as a reason to throw down. Like a divine frat party. So the blonde bombshell thinks she's a goddess now that she has some power? Specifically a goddess that wanted to do what she used to do. Moira loved that the bubblehead didn't know who she was dealing with. Before she could act, she saw a blur taking out the mooks on the ground. "Now that they're out of the way," she jumped over to Laka, landing right in front of the pretty little girl. "Goddess, huh," she said with honey-coated vinegar words, "I've known goddesses," she took a step forward, "talked with goddesses," another step forward, "been one myself," meeting Laka face to face, "you need work, babe." Moira swiped at the ukulele, trying to take the instrument for herself.

So, jump, one liner, then pause?

With Leaping 3, would it be possible to jump over the crowd and land right next Ukulele Girl?

Sorry, I've been distracted with reality. Will get to posting either tonight or tomorrow. Sorry to leave you hanging!

Notice: 1d20+5 19 Initiative: 1d20+2 13

Will Save: 1d20+7 26 So I read this wrong and thought 19 was the result not the roll and did a reroll. The reroll was worse. Will Save Reroll: 1d20+7 18 Do I still have to use it and waste my precious Hero point

It had been two weeks since Moira had been back. She had made her self quite busy within the past fourteen days. Though she was never really 'off' the hero job, she set a few hours every day to visit somewhere in the city. This time it was Millennium Mall. She needed clothes, true, but gadgets had advanced so much in the past six and a half years. She needed a new smartphone. And a plan that wouldn't cost out of the wazoo. Then again, there were fitness stores and music stores... Speaking of music, she heard something... strange. Ukulele music? Two people could play ukulele music well and unfortunately they had passed on! "Aloha," she heard. and then a spiel about being the goddess of pleasure. Moira snickered and shook her head. "Everyone thinks they know what it's cracked up to be." Then the demands came. "Well then. That looks like some crime. And this city is in need of less criminals." The costume in the bracer still wasn't fixed, but heck, she had to wear it. With a swift wave, her eyes turned yellow and she had a golden glow. Her casual clothes - low cut jeans and a black tanktop with the Velocity logo - turned into a white sleeveless ankle length layered dress. As her father taught her (and until she got an actual costume), she readied herself by tying the long part of it to gird herself. All the while hearing the ukulele music. She grunted as she finished jumping over the balcony and to the floor below. "So, you take a beautiful art of the dance and mix it with your tiny guitar," she pointed at the thieves. "Run now, or I will show you the true wrath of the gods." She pointed at Laka, "you, however, have offended us. There will be no running for you. Mind Control is against the law, Talula!"

Moira is shopping for clothes and stuff to decorate her room. If not in a clothing store, she'd be in a music store playing with guitars or keyboards. Or maybe fitness store, she's into working out, playing on the displays that they'll let her do. Anywhere close to this muscal thingI guess for sake of convenience

Moira grinned, she hadn't heard that name in a long time. She would have to find out what Taylor was up to. If she was even on Earth anymore! "That sounds like Phantom," she commented, "she's very, ahem, adamant about her job." Moira remembered the good time, but her first go around as a hero wasn't a bed of roses. Taylor was one that tried to keep her in check. Stesha too. So many people she had to check on and find. Her eyes brightened when Lynn mentioned that she could stay in her guest room. The happiness soon turned into a smirk when she mentioned Gretchen's request. "Lynn, I promise to be on my best behavior," she marked an X over her chest. "I swear to be courteous to my new roommates and respect their wishes. They can ask of me anything within my limits and I will do the best to comply.." She leaned in closer, trying not to invade Lynn's personal space, but closeness is how she showed happiness, "I have a job. So I can pay you. I'm a pretty good cook and I can mix and make drinks too. But I'm sure the rent isn't paid with meals and drinks."

Empress is a Paragons character, so unless you go to Earth-Paragons, you won't be seeing her here. I like her concept and wonted to see what she looked like when she wasn't a scrunched up block of numbers. So, like Dam in the above post, I copied her straight from the book. Wisdom is an odd number. Personal pet peeve, it irks me. Her Enchanted Mail Hauberk is Restricted. But not expounded upon. Given the picture of the character, I'm assuming it was fitted for her physique Oh boy is her Magic Array full of Nope. To start, the Noticeable drawback doesn't make sense. It's Magic, of the 'I make silver fire' type. It's not exactly subtle! Speaking of the silver fire theme, It stays true to the theme until the last two powers. Summon any type of Elemental? Move and pick things up with your mind? Makes no sense! Mechanically, there's a lot of questionable decisions. Homing 5 on Shapeable Area Damage No Saving Throw Nullify All Magic Effects Summon 50 fanatical elementals, all at once Fluff wise, I think she's too solid for the Paragons setting. Paragons is all about 'where do our powers come from' while she is steeped in straight up identifiable magic. I might do something like her in the future for a PC or NPC. Being a mutant but passing herself off as a mage.

Moira nodded when asked to follow. Free drink? Either way, Moira took the biscotti and the mocha latte and followed Lynn. This place was nice, even the hallways were pleasantly decorated. Not that Morley's didn't have their place in order. She would have to get Lynn to meet with Sean about some organizing. Looking at all the bookshelves, she guarded her drink. She was wary about spilling it on anything. "Should have gotten a lid," she mumbled to herself. Putting the biscotti in the drink and the drink on Lynn's desk she poked around while Lynn situated in her chair. "This many books," she smiled, "you've read them all?" Poking around - she didn't actually touch anything - she was awed by things other than books. The guns really didn't seem Lynn's style. But they were a sight. Moira shook her head when Lynn offered candy, "nah, I'm good, your barista set me up with a much stirred drink." Speak of the devil, there she was. Moira smiled when the two kissed. It was a sweet and silly showing of the two, showing they were comfortable. After Gretchen scooted out, Moira quirked an eyebrow as Lynn tried to explain the situation. "So that's your girlfriend, fiance or wife? Either way, I apologize for that little show back there. She's very cute." Taking a seat she crossed one leg over her other thigh and leaned back, making herself comfortable, The jeans were six years out of style, but she made them work, the shirt too. A small tshirt with a logo sporting 'The Vigilantes', a local rock group that unfortunately broke up while she was gone. She sighed, "as for my story? Well, there's a lot of ways I could cover this." She twiddled her thumbs on her knee, "back in the day, I had a time limit, regaining my godhood took less time than I thought it would. And, as you may or may not know, real gods aren't allowed on Earth." She pressed her middle and pointer fingers against the other two, trying to visualize what she was saying abstractly, "The Pact makes sure we stay off. I don't know the specifics, but no gods." Putting her hands behind her head she looked at Lynn again. "You know that divine liquid I was always drinking? It worked differently for me. Sure it would give mortals immortality, but that was essence of godhood. Basically my ticket back to Olympian realms. When I was full. Poof, no more Moira." She looked at her coffee, sitting there, the piece of hard sweet bread floating in it. Sitting up, she took a swallow of the concoction. "Now the next six and a half years," she smiled remembering the experience, "it had it's ups and downs. Dealing with daily life as the 'goddess of hedonistic pursuits'. wasn't all fun and games." She smirked, "mostly fun and games. I made friends, rivals, enemies, lovers and haters." Taking another swallow of the mocha latte she set it down. "But I was human raised, all the 'fun and games' wore on after a while. That and I missed my people. My mortal father, Sean. Stesha. Angel. Jack. Ace. Doc. Wesley. You!" Standing up, she put her hands on the desk and leaned over, "so I asked for my godhood removed and came back."

Rebuilding Dam (Blood) from Time of Vengeance. Here she is, as presented in the book, done in our style of character sheet. Very few missteps (Attractive 6 would make her PL 22 not PL 12. Transform is 10 points over the array limit. Does she really need Life Support? Protection has no descriptor). So, I'm looking to clean her up. Give her a new outlook on life. Because goth and emo was so late 90s/early 2000s. Heck, she may have went through a hipster and dubstep phase. Because the youths' fads are silly, amiright? Aaanyway...

"Well, that's a long story," Moira sighed, "one I wish had a better ending, but you can't have your cake and eat it too." She perked up, "I'm back because of friends and family." She knew Lynn didn't know she was sucked up to Mount Olympus to live her days out as a hedonistic goddess. But hey, that's not something you blurt out in public. A few of the customers were already gawking. "Maybe I'll give you the scoop when we're alone." She nodded at the wedding comment, "sorry-slash-glad to hear that?"

Moira was just getting back into the daily life, though she had a few more provisions. She had to sleep and she had to eat. Not that she minded the acts. It was a little less day in her day.So, she woke up, she showered, she ate breakfast while she watched the news. And then she would get on her morning walk about of the West End. There was a lot of area to cover. People usually policed their own, but every once in a while you'd get the odd break in or fight that needed to be stopped. That's where Scion came in. She'd play peacemaker, if she could. Luckily there weren't any incidents. Yet. Most people see a hero they cut it out quick. She wasn't hoping for anything bad to happen. Around lunch time, she had to eat again. She loved food. And right now she was craving something home cooked. Kokinos. She'd been there ever since she was an early teen. Michel was one of the many 'family' members she had. Walking in the door, she saw him for the first time in a long time. She greeted him with a hug, ">Hey Mic<," she said happily in Greek. ">Sean's fine, yeah. Me? I'm getting back into the swing of things!<" she poked a finger towards the back, ">still got that awesome deal you always had? I need me some of that thick sandwich?<"

Lynn wasn't that heavy. Very light, actually. It was just the high speed force that knocked Moira back. "Me and Gretchen have been talking," she said reaching out a hand to the barista in greeting. "She's very helpful," Moira looked Gretchen in the eyes and smiled with a promising tone, "maybe we'll get some coffee. Later." She looked to Lynn, "I actually came to shake some information from you, doll." Walking over to a table, she sat down, beckoning Lynn to sit. "As you might have noticed, I've been gone for a the better part of a decade. I'm looking for contacts. You were one of the first people I thought of. Since you were a hand full of good grace." She let that one sink in. "I thought we could do some list checking." She leaned over and whispered, "also, I kind of need a place to stay for a bit."

Moira watched the absent minded barista stare. She was used to it. Smirking, Moira leaned on her hip, "I think it's been stirred enough, Gretchen." "Oof," she said as Lynn wrapped around her, not unlike a snake. A happy snake. A full grown woman happy snake. The two embraced and Moira kissed Lynn on the cheek. "I'm doing fine. A little bit knocked out of air." She laughed."You're still as vibrant as I remember." Two things ran through Moira's mind. One, the kid she saw back years ago, trying to sneak in to a bar. Indeed the little girl had grown. The other was the emphasis on the name. Was she known as Divine? That wasn't her anymore. But she would let this one pass.

Cute and flustered? This was a sight. Though it seems Lynn was here. She didn't want to make the barista uncomfortable. Though she did want that mocha latte. She leaned on the counter, "sure call her," she looked at the barista's name tag, "Gretchen, but first can I get my drink?" Her tone was asking, not too dominant, but something that would hopefully put the pep in the girl's step. Reaching into her pocket, she realized that she didn't have a wallet. She was wearing some form fitting hip jeans there was no way anyone took anything from it. Oh no. Now she was kind of stuck. Chat up the cute barista until she could call Lynn? That seemed like a plan. "So, how long have you worked here? I haven't been here in ages," she smiled as Gretchen took to the coffee making. Leaning on the counter, she picked up a biscotti out of a container, trying to play it cool.

A few hours ago, Edone was on Mount Olympus. She forgo her godhood to live among mortals. The people she grew up with. Her friends and family. After she left, she was deposited in from of Morley's pub. Her mortal father's business. She and Sean talked for a long time. Reminiscing about the past, talking about the future. She told him that she would be here forever. He jokingly said that he would try too. He also gave her some leads on where to find some of her old contacts. Moira's first visit was to Angel's grave site. The love of her life was gone. Mortal life was all too short and fleeting. Heroics made it much shorter. But Moira hoped that Angel was resting peacefully, wherever she was. Second visit? Probably would have been a shorter walk, but she wanted to lift her spirits after this. A trip to someone she saw very little of but still loved being around. Silberman's Books was a hop skip and a jump away from Morley's pub. Both were in the West End. Though Moira could have literally jumped there with her speed. Walking in the door, there was a few people there. There were a few turned heads as she looked around, poking at a few of the comics. Stories of what happened when she was gone? Maybe embellished, but still.She poked her head around other areas. Games - she wasn't the strategist that others were, but she could hold her own and card nights. Going for coffee was next. The barista looked kind of disgruntled. Cute, but disgruntled. "I'll have a mocha latte. DO you know if the owner is here?"

Thanks

Player Name: Moira Morley Character Name: Scion Power Level: 10 (150/181PP) Tradeoffs: -2 attack, +2 effect; -2 defense, +2 toughness Unspent Power Points: 31 In Brief: (originally) A earthbound goddess tries to be a hero. (now) The prodigal daughter returns. Residence: Freedom City, New Jersey. Base of Operations: None Catchphrase: None Alternate Identity: Edone (birth name), Moira Morley (mortal name), Divine (former heroic code name) Identity: Public Birthplace: Mount Olympus Occupation: Hostess and part owner of Morley's Pub Affiliations: Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Dionysus Family: Aphrodite (mother), Ares (father), other Olympians (by default, you know its a big messed up tree), Sean Morley (mortal parent, 55) Age: 28 (born: March 14, 1988) Apparent Age: between 19 and 21 Gender: Female Ethnicity: Olympian Height: 5 foot 5 inches (1.65 meters) Weight: 125 pounds (57 kilograms) Eyes: green (yellow when using golden bracer) Hair: dark red (with golden strands some times) Moira stands with authority, being an average size, her perfect hourglass figure is noticeable. Her skin is soft, but her muscle is toned, she didn't just party up there on Olympus, she trained her body into a golden ratio. She has a light olive complexion, withe a small dusting of freckles on her shoulder. While not actively searching, she keeps her eyes at ease, not closed but a softer look. Her hair is straight and short enough to cover her neck and full enough to run hands through. Sometimes Aphrodite likes to hide golden strands among them. She always smiles wide with full lips and white teeth. Her face is round and soft, again, hiding light freckles. She has a tattoo of the sun on the back of her neck, courtesy of the sun god, Apollo, himself, which read 'Omorfia Mou' (my beauty). She has a golden chain given to her by Sean for her tenth birthday that she only takes off to clean. She disdains shoes, prefering to go barefoot if she can, but a pair of brown sandals when she needs to. Her favorite casual clothes are tight jeans that show off her hips and a tshirt with either a local band or hero's logo (gotta rep the smaller guys!). The golden bracer given to her by the gods is simple and undorned, it wraps around her right lower arm Her costume is an ankle length sleeveless layered dress, a pair of golden strap sandal and a golden laurel in her hair. The dress has many colors - white, black, red, purple - but only one at a time. There's not a pattern she's divined. Power Descriptions When using the golden bracer given to her by the Olympians, her outline is a soft yellow and her eye color turns yellow. Depending on which god she's channeling, her attitude might change. Aphrodite might make her a little lovesick with the people she interacts with. Ares might make her super confrontational. Apollo will put her mind on a myriad of projects and other things she hasn't finished. Dionysus will spam her mind with junk ads. The Olympian Fighting style was taught to her by Ares. It focuses on getting her opponent to the ground and pounding them in vital and or soft places. Olympian Immortality and Strength don't have descriptions other than what they do. She can run faster, jump higher, lift more. She's not susceptable to mortal diseases, poison or the ravages of heat and cold. She hasn't aged a day in almost 10 years. If she were to die, she's pop back up in the Elysian Fields 24 hours later, able to walk out and back to the mortal realm. History Moira was born on Mount Olympus as Edone, goddess of hedonistic pursuits. Ares and Aphrodite had a fling, like they always do, but a child was conceived of the tryst. Hephaestus had had enough of his unfaithful wife and wanted something to show for it. Eris, unloved of all Olympus, seized the opportunity to whisper a truly wicked plot in Hephaestus's mind. It involved giving Aphrodite an apple. The apple was dipped in the River Styx. When Aphrodite ate the apple, it would not affect her, but the unborn child, stripping away it's godly essence. It was delivered by an underworld nymph, who was to lie and say it was a gift from Persephone for the new babe. Aphrodite accepted the gift and gobbled it up, unknowing of the fruit's real power. When Edone was born she was healthy and happy, but the most noticeable thing was that she had no god soul. Like she was a normal Olympian, but nothing about her was deific. Aphrodite called upon Hera to make heads or tails of this treachery. She saw the child was cursed. That someone had stolen the essence before she was born. Eris, unloved of all Olympus, revealed herself as the underworld nymph who gave the apple to Aphrodite and was only able to act through Hephaestus. Ares was displeased with all of this and went to pay Hephaestus a visit. Eris disappeared. That left Hera and Aphrodite. Hera cared not for this scheme, but Aphrodite received scorn for having the child in the first place. Hera looked after marriages. Instead of having the babe live among minor gods away from Olympus, she sent word to the mortal realm. To some of her most faithful followers. A priest of the faith, Sean Morley, jumped at the chance to raise the child of the goddess. Aphrodite saw into his heart and he knew he was true. With some work throughs, Sean took custody of the baby, naming her Moira, as it seemed it was fate. Sean raised Moira with special care, giving her the utmost attention and love, as a true parent would. He also taught her the ways of the faith, so when her parents revealed them selves to her, it wouldn't seem too weird. Moira took after her mother and father in personality. She loved almost everything, but she knew when there were times that love had to be tough. Those situations were few and far between. She was quick to make friends and even quicker to lose enemies. Growing up within arms reach of her mortal father, she made aunts, uncles, and cousins at the temple. She even got her first job at Morley's pub - Sean's familial business - as a waitress and eventually a bartender. Her jovial and light demeanor kept business coming. On her 21st birthday, Aphrodite began giving Moira visions. Moira knew of the goddess through readings and such, but had never had a divine intervention. Aphrodite told her that she was her child and of the sordid complications of her birth. Also, there was a gift for her. A golden liquid made of divinity. It wouldn't do it right away, but it would restore her to full power. Though when she was done, she would have to come back to Olympus as Edone and shedding Moira. At the time Moira thought this was a great idea. Another upside of the liquid was that it gave her part of her deific powers back. She could be a superhero if she wanted! And that she did, for a time. It wasn't four color and she wasn't quite proactive, but she mingled within the hero and villain community. Taking the name Divine, she put herself on the side of angels, but definitely wasn't a four color hero. Though she made friends on both sides of the coin. Heroes led to the Knights of Freedom (which, while good, was short lived). She even had a short fling with Captain Knievel (before she found out what he really was). She found the truest form of love in a woman went by the name Angel (Angel Marks). True friendship in Stesha/Fleur de Joie. But those two years passed by like nothing. By the time she was back to full power she remembered nothing. and was back on Olympus. What happened on Olympus stayed on Olympus. She made friends with Dionysus. She and Apollo fell in emphatic love. She, Ares and Aphrodite shared familial love. And she genuinely enjoyed herself. Six years passed with epic times had by all. But by the end of it, she was tired. Unfulfilled. And nostalgic of her true home. After thinking about it for a while and a long talk with her her closest friends and family on Olympus, she chose to forgo her godhood and leave Olympus. Zeus zapped her and she was on her way out the door when she was met by her friends and family. They had a gift It wasn't godhood, but something she could use on Earth. A golden bracer that could channel their power from Aphrodite, Ares, Apollo and Dionysus. Also the ability to talk with the group back and forth. She thanked them and started her new journey. Personality and Motivation Moira has a light-hearted spirit that seems like she's always having fun, even when in danger! Though she can be serious, no one really likes her serious side. It's more of her deific father showing through. It's short and mean and no nonsense. It wants to get things done. Luckily, she rarely indulges her serious side. Moira's back for her friends and family, because while having fun is fine, its nothing without anyone with you! She also sees this as a chance to show she can be a hero and not just a powerful person. Complications Easily Distracted: Things of beauty are likely to pull her off course, be it a painting or a person. Enemy: Eris plays the long game. She's not done with Edone/Moira yet. She may play on Hephaestus's feelings too to get him to lash out. Also Hades but he can't do anything directly (can he?)

Edone, I worry about this. You could have so much more. Rule, have fun, be with your friends and family. Love, it's more than that. I do love you. And mother and father. And even Dionysus. But your heart is with the mortals. Yes. I don't feel I belong here. Maybe i never did. Truly, I would miss your company. But this is your decision to make. There's plenty to go around here, lover boy. Thank you, both, for understanding.

Moira was born on Mount Olympus as Edone, goddess of hedonistic pursuits. Ares and Aphrodite had a fling, like they always do, but a child was conceived of the tryst. Hephaestus had had enough of his unfaithful wife and wanted something to show for it. Eris, unloved of all Olympus, seized the opportunity to whisper a truly wicked plot in Hephaestus's mind. It involved giving Aphrodite an apple. The apple was dipped in the River Styx. When Aphrodite ate the apple, it would not affect her, but the unborn child, stripping away it's godly essence. It was delivered by an underworld nymph, who was to lie and say it was a gift from Persephone for the new babe. Aphrodite accepted the gift and gobbled it up, unknowing of the fruit's real power. When Edone was born she was healthy and happy, but the most noticeable thing was that she had no god soul. Like she was a normal Olympian, but nothing about her was deific. Aphrodite called upon Hera to make heads or tails of this treachery. She saw the child was cursed. That someone had stolen the essence before she was born. Eris, unloved of all Olympus, revealed herself as the underworld nymph who gave the apple to Aphrodite and was only able to act through Hephaestus. Ares was displeased with all of this and went to pay Hephaestus a visit. Eris disappeared. That left Hera and Aphrodite. Hera cared not for this scheme, but Aphrodite received scorn for having the child in the first place. Hera looked after marriages. Instead of having the babe live among minor gods away from Olympus, she sent word to the mortal realm. To some of her most faithful followers. A priest of the faith, Sean Morley, jumped at the chance to raise the child of the goddess. Aphrodite saw into his heart and he knew he was true. With some work throughs, Sean took custody of the baby, naming her Moira, as it seemed it was fate. Sean raised Moira with special care, giving her the utmost attention and love, as a true parent would. He also taught her the ways of the faith, so when her parents revealed them selves to her, it wouldn't seem too weird. Moira took after her mother and father in personality. She loved almost everything, but she knew when there were times that love had to be tough. Those situations were few and far between. She was quick to make friends and even quicker to lose enemies. Growing up within arms reach of her mortal father, she made aunts, uncles, and cousins at the temple. She even got her first job at Morley's pub - Sean's familial business - as a waitress and eventually a bartender. Her jovial and light demeanor kept business coming. On her 21st birthday, Aphrodite began giving Moira visions. Moira knew of the goddess through readings and such, but had never had a divine intervention. Aphrodite told her that she was her child and of the sordid complications of her birth. Also, there was a gift for her. A golden liquid made of divinity. It wouldn't do it right away, but it would restore her to full power. Though when she was done, she would have to come back to Olympus as Edone and shedding Moira. At the time Moira thought this was a great idea. Another upside of the liquid was that it gave her part of her deific powers back. She could be a superhero if she wanted! And that she did, for a time. It wasn't four color and she wasn't quite proactive, but she mingled within the hero and villain community. Taking the name Divine, she put herself on the side of angels, but definitely wasn't a four color hero. Though she made friends on both sides of the coin. Heroes led to the Knights of Freedom (which, while good, was short lived). She even had a short fling with Captain Knievel (before she found out what he really was). She found the truest form of love in a woman went by the name Angel (Angel Marks). True friendship in Stesha/Fleur de Joie. But those two years passed by like nothing. By the time she was back to full power she remembered nothing. and was back on Olympus. What happened on Olympus stayed on Olympus. She made friends with Dionysus. She and Apollo fell in emphatic love. She, Ares and Aphrodite shared familial love. And she genuinely enjoyed herself. Six years passed with epic times had by all. But by the end of it, she was tired. Unfulfilled. And nostalgic of her true home. Afterthinking about it for a while and a long talk with her her closest friends and family on Olympus, she chose to forgo her godhood and leave Olympus. Zeus zapped her and she was on her way out the door when she was met by her friends and family. They had gifts It wasn't godhood, but things she could use on Earth. Blessings from Aphrodite, Ares, Apollo and Dionysus. Also the ability to talk with them back and forth. She thanked them and started her new journey.

Freedom City is my home. My real home. My friends and family are there. Everything I grew up with. Everything I truly love. But you can never go back. Not like you are now. The God Seal won't let you. I'd give up my godhood to go back. Really? Is living among mortals really worth your soul? Yes. Sleep on it, Edone. You don't want to make hasty decisions. I will, mother.

Suggestions for the 24 points left? Olympian Blessings (divine descriptor) [10pp array, 3 alternate powers] . . Aphrodite's Charm: Enhanced Charisma 10 . . Apollo's Warmth: Immunity 2 (cold environment, heat environment), Environment 1 (piece of the sun; extreme heat, bright light), 4 points left . . Ares's Ferocity: Enhanced Feats (Fearless, Last Stand, Takedown Attack, Ultimate Effort [Toughness]), 6 points left . . Dionysus's Madness: Immunity 10 (mental effects) Each one of these carries a 'light' complication. Using Charm makes her more love prone. Using Warmth makes her a bit too calm even in the face of danger. Using Ferocity puts her on edge. Using Madness makes her a bit eccentric. or a simpler version (maybe both?) Olympian Calling (divine descriptor) [2+5=7pp] . . Enhanced Feats 2 (Benefit [directed inspiration], Connected) . . Super-Senses 4 (Communication Link 4 [Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Dionysus; Dimensional]) Again, this come with a built in complication. Having a two way conversations could bring about oddjobs as they would trust her and she would trust them. Nothing like "bring me back to the mortal realm" more like Aphrodite wanting to have two broken lovers hook back up or Ares wanting someone beat down. Or Apollo wanting to heal things. Or Dionysus wanting her to loosen up and throw a get together. Bigger requests could be story starters. Also, maybe the people who look after cosmic things keep an eye on her for this little connection. Another idea is to give her some extra skills, Probably not gobsmacking skills like she used to have, but I think they look a bit skimpy at the moment.
