  1. I have no problem knocking it down to just Subtle,though I haven't figured out what to put in it's place yet to keep the point total the same. However, I'm somewhat confused by the rest. The Muse isn't insane and I'm not sure how Mental Transform on its lowest level is any more problematic than powers like Emotion Control or Mind Control. They're all Sustained (Lasting) mental powers. So if you could clarify a bit I would appreciate it since it's really her only effective attack power and goes with the whole memories/knowledge aspect of her namesake. Thanks.
  2. Players Name: Abby Normal Power Level: 10 Trade-Offs: [ -3 Damage for +3 Attack, -3 Toughness for +3 Defense] Unspent PP: 0 Characters Name: The Muse Alternate Identity: Cleo Katsopolis Height: 5'2" Weight: 104 lbs Hair: Brown Eyes: Blue Description: Cleo is a petite young woman in her twenties with her brown hair cut quite short and her blue eyes hiding behind vintage style spectacles. She dresses rather conservatively and generally has a serious demeanor, although more than one male has suspected that she has the "mousy librarian is a secret bombshell" schtick down. One even described her as "Eleanor Roosevelt's cute little sister." As the Muse she dons a red chin length wig and ditches the glasses for white make-up with a single blue teardrop. She wears a Victorian style black coat with frilled cuffs and collar that exposes the requisite amount of cleavage for a super-villainess as well as a pair of black and white striped trousers. Black leather combat boot and fingerless gloves complete a look one witness reported as "a mime in a mosh pit." The Muse wields a silver cane and a rather fetching smile. History: Born an only child to an affluent couple in Freedom City, Cleo Katsopolis was used to being the center of attention. This took her into activities like gymnastics and cheerleading, where she could see the smiles and hear the applause of people. But what Cleo really wanted to do was act. There was only one small problem... a complete lack of talent. Still, she did work backstage doing make-up and helping with the scenery. And Cleo did make a big impression on opening night of her high school's performance of "Little Shop of Horrors" when a rope broke on the curtain and she was struck on the head with a sandbag. Cleo was taken to the hospital where she lapsed in and out out consciousness. The following morning she was given an MRI to check for head trauma. Meanwhile, millions of miles away, an explosion of energy from a sunspot sent a powerful stream of ions towards the Earth. The atmosphere above Freedom City was hit by a particularly concentrated amount of ionic energy. To most citizens this meant static on their radios. But to Cleo with her head in the MRI machine it meant far more. Magnetic energy surged into her brain, causing havoc in her brain. She cried out in pain and the doctor rushed to get her out. As he checked to see if she was all right, Cleo discovered she knew a lot about her doctor. His childhood pet, his first kiss, going through medical school. Cleo had access to all his memories. As she encountered more people in the hospital, Cleo could read all their memories as well. Upon her release and return to school, Cleo discovered other changes. Once a mediocre student, she found classwork to be incredibly simple. When she thought about a subject, Cleo would have a feeling like an epiphany and have the knowledge she needed. Her abilities in deduction and perception were nothing short of astounding. School became effortless for Cleo and she was accepted to an out of state college on an academic scholarship. It too was a breeze and Cleo found other ways to occupy herself. When caught by her residential adviser with a boy in her room past curfew, Cleo wished she would forget the whole thing. To her shock, the RA was struck with sudden amnesia. From then on, Cleo began exploring just what she was capable of. After graduation, Cleo went to California where she won a sizable amount of money on a game show before returning to Freedom City. She took a job as a librarian and began behaving in a more somber manner. But this was all an act as she was secretly planning a new way to get the spotlight... super-villainy. Recalling the nymphs that were the daughters of the Greek king of the god Zeus and Mnemosyne the goddess of memory, Cleo dubbed herself the Muse. For her first act, she chose the flashy and very public hero Johnny Rocket. With his well known origin, it was simple for the Muse to regress his memory back to before he realized his powers and defeat him at a charity event. A few weeks later she targeted him again. This time Johnny Rocket and Captain Thunder had just broken up a robbery. The Muse altered his memories into believing he was his grandfather and Captain Thunder was the Nazi superhuman Donar, Lord of Thunder. In the resulting chaos, the Muse grabbed the loot and escaped. Satisfied with her first clashes with super-heroes, Cleo laid low for a bit. She began building up some criminal connection by being an information broker to the underworld. But it can only be a matter of time before the Muse takes the stage again. Personality & Motivation: Ego and excitement. That's what drives Cleo Katsopolis to be the Muse. With her abilities she could achieve success in nearly any venture. But her flair for the dramatic has lead to the path of villainy. The Muse isn't concerned with wealth or conquests. She thrives in showing some gaudily dressed do-gooder how much better she is and making sure she has an audience to see it. Although she is in it for the kicks, the Muse isn't impulsive. She picks her battles and lays out the field carefully. The Muse has no desire to kill an opponent because it's no fun gloating over a corpse. She banters non-stop with foes, sometimes to the point of flirting. Bows, flourishes, and thanking her audience are all part of the Muse's performance. Complications: Rivalry: As a total prima donna, the Muse isn't too fond of someone else getting the spotlight. Any hero getting accolades could very well find themselves targeted by the Muse trying to steal the show. And anyone that one-ups her gets an enemy for life. Secret: Every performer needs time away from the public and for the Muse that's her other identity as Cleo Katsopolis, humble librarian. It gives her access to a great deal of information and life on the run really doesn't appeal to her.

  3. Hi, I'm designing a character who can Boost her skills and was wondering if this game allows Boosting of untrained skills. The rules say the subject can gain the targeted trait at the GM's discretion so I was wondering your views are on this. Thanks!
