Fixed up the stat problems you mentioned and thank you so much for the praise on the story elements, it'd be a bit embarrassing if those weren't up to snuff since those are the only thing on this forum I have a real experience crafting for a character.

You want to be careful with the personality stuff. Everyone likes reading about snarky lone wolf characters, but they can get annoying real fast in a play by post setting where everyone's working as a team. And we are all working as a team, even the solo characters. Think about ways you can have her be sociable, and make sure she's actually along well with others.

Well, she's shy, she not stupid. She's well aware that simply because of how limited her abilities are that she'll have to work with other heros. Whether she makes them immediately aware of her presense or her help goes on a case by case basis especially if there's a lot of other people around.

Yeah, you'll want to drop some of these combat feats: Improved Disarm is a waste of time. And being that reliant on Sneak Attack is going to work against you.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

The transition into superheroism has left an effect on Carrie's physique. She is no longer underweight, and far less skinny putting on a few pounds of muscle and training up. She's a lot more lean now, but her stance and figure is a lot more poise, and her posture and habits have improved. She looks a lot more healthy in that she has adjusted her sleep schedule to fit her new night job, and her eating habits have improved to compensate for her needing more energy.

Her costume a form fitting leather one piece biker suit she spray painted back with a baclava sewn into the collar. Over that is a specially made mask(curtiousy of Dragonfly) with a built in radio feed and lenses that helps her see in the dark. The black out assemble is completed with leather gloves and boots which gives her really the look of a modern ninja. She has several pockets which usually contain things like business and phone cards, some zip ties, bandages, and her car key.

History:
Carrie's parents travelled a bit before they had her older brother Trent and her, but settled down into a college town when her sister was born. Her mother was ex military and just got off two six year terms to cover college expenses and put down the payments on a house as well as a lease on a coffee shop that she ran with her father who never managed to finish schooling. Growing up there, Carrie tended to hang out with an older crowd.

When she turned seventeen, her parents sold their coffee shop to a competing franchise named after a character in Moby Dick and used the money to move to the suburbs outside of Freedom City. It was about a year earlier after hitting puberty that Carrie noticed her slight difference to everybody else in the family. Seeing as it was somewhat limited as a whole but not at all dangerous with some prompting from her sister she kept it the ability to herself. She went through life at a relative normal pace, until her sophmore year of college.

While attending a field trip to a museum with her art history class the whole place was seized by some whack job and his minions as a way to call out some big time hero. The guy's mook promptly bound and blindfolded everyone present to chairs to use as hostages when whatever random hero he was trying to called. When said hero did show up, while everyone was distracted Carrie just slipped out of her restraints, hit the singular henchman who was suppose to watch the hostages on the head a chair and untied everyone else. By the time villian had tried to pull the hostage card after the hero had defeated him or whatever obstacle he had set up there were only empty chairs and a knocked out henchman.

After that she didn't immediately jumping into the hero ring, but she thought it might be a possibility. After she graduated she found a similar situation when a regular guy was trying to hold up a convinience store. After turning 2D to avoid gunfire and hit him on the back of a head with a six pack of guinesse she started to look into seriously trying to help people with her abilities and started to experiment.

What started as an experiment became a full on lifestyle, which Carrie adjusted too accordingly. It wasn't hard to change her sleep and work schedule to suit her going out at nights as she worked freelance anyway, and already had a penchant for sleeping in late. What really became hard was the fact that she had to effectly lie to everyone she met about that part of her life, which Fulcrum whom she befriended as a civilian and does custom tailoring for.

Personality & Motivation:
Carrie is a big believer in choice as the major decider of what happens to someone in life. Growing up in a college town she saw teenagers work hard and learn to do their dream jobs until they graduate, but she also saw the results of students who dropped out early because of pregnancy, accidents, arrest records, drug use, or just plain laziness. This makes her quite blunt and generally insensitive to most peoples situations when she sees a lot of self inflicted miseries throughout the city. She hates it when people complain about their situation and neither try to see what they can do to improve it or see how lucky they themselves are. She hates it even more when villians and sometimes even heros force their own plans on to innocent bystanders. This includes but isn't limited too, hostage situations, access property damage, and meaningless slaughter from either party.

Though she tries to pass herself off as standoffish, she's a bit shy and tries very hard to avoid direct attention in any way possible. This being said, it's really just a self defense mechanism because she herself is very insecure about her own lack of power and is almost constantly comparing herself to others. However insecure she is about whether she is in fact a hero or not, it still doesn't stop her from working hard, and maintaining her own set of morals and ideals about how heroes should act, and about how people should act. This makes her especially hard on herself if she doesn't live up to it herself.

Carrie outside of costume is a nerd, plain and simple. She loves works of fiction, any fiction, comics, movies, novels, she has shelves of these just lined up and well bent from rereading them. She also has a taste for the older styles, loving old cars, and older designs and cuts of clothing, as well as steampunk things and clothing (some of which she owns is geniune because of a visit to an actual steampunk alternate universe). If she had the choice she'd be driving some full on classic American muscle cars instead of her mini cooper, or a really nice old chopper, but the car was a gift, and it was better than what she had before, which was nothing.

Powers & Tactics:
Silhouette can turn flat, which sounds like a rather lame power, but she ultilizes it quite well. Her fingers and limbs are incredibly sharp, and she does not have to assume full form to use them making her able to brawl effectively both in and out of costume with little(or really less) suspect to her idenity. Her black costume allows her to masquerade as a shadow as she moves along walls, and her now more refined use of acrobatics makes her able to run circles around opponents easily before sneaking in for a hit. When alone, she usually relies on divide and conquer methods of attack, while in battle she'll both act as a distraction, and use the distraction of others while trying to maintain the safety of civilians or to catch the villians off guard.

Complications:
Bad Cravings: Carrie used to smoke in college, and quit afterwards because she couldn't afford to keep up the habit. As a result she gets very, very irratable near bars or clubs or anywhere else filled with cigerette smoke as it gives her cravings.
Family: She is very much a family person and since they all live within or near the city limits she will almost always try to attend family gatherings and events. With the recent discovery (well recent to their parents) that her niece and nephew Emilia and Emmanuel are both magnetic metahumans, Carrie has gotten very involved in managing them.
 
PTSD: A lot of really bad days has given Carrie some rather bad memories that can invoke anxiety attacks and incredibly violent flight or fight behavior (usually the later), the triggers being hospitals and mentioning of the Gorgon.
 
No Weapons: She can't actively carry weapons with her because she can't carry make anything that isn't already naturally flat with her when she goes 2D. This has lead to her to improvise a lot.
Secret: She does try her best to keep her identity secret by avoiding some of the hazards like her mask falling off(by sewing it to the rest of her suit) or distorting her features with her ability if she's ever caught without it.
Struggling: Working freelance her general income is far from stable, coupled with student loans she has had to learned very quickly to live with the very bare minimum. She lives in the Fens near the border of the theatre district and will often take up jobs there painting sets and running theatre tech to help supplement her income.
Weak Stomach: Carrie gets nausea very easy, and as such has to take ginger pills before getting in cars or on boats (unless she's driving). The same goes for teleportation, even by friendly parties.

Disability level, complete darkness is hard to find and most people can't live in it because if they do they themselves go blind. Regular darkness maybe, but I'm not sure how that would work because the ability to see is derived by the fact that there is light present to illuminate available colors in general. Unless you're character is doing like a bat, it seems like a very rare enviremental specialty drawback.

Alright, I think I understand the combat section a little bit. I also got a rulebook so here's my new stats after going through the rules.

Description: Carrie is a bit underweight for her age, and as such lacks noticable hips.

Her habits as a night owl tends to make her have perpetual bags under her eyes.

Powers & Tactics: She can turn 2D, or completely flat without altering her overall mass. She can do it both in a horizontal sense as well as a vertical so she can either look like a shadow without a person on the way or black oval on the floor. The way she fights with this in general is surprise attack from her flat form, dodge and repeat. In an ideal situation, whoever it is she's attacking would never see her coming and not get back up. Though given the rarity of that situation with the large amounts of freaks and geeks going supervillian she plays entirely by defense after the first initial attack and looks for openings to try another. She can do this to individual parts of her body as well, and as such can slip out, under, through most traditional forms of restraining and holding. When not fighting, which is her prefered method to deal with anything while she's suited up is to get what she comes for and leave without the villian being the wiser. Usually it helps when other heros are already on the scene as an adequite distraction.

I still don't know how to do the last part, but even with the changes I'm still under so that's good. I'd like another review if no one seems to mind.

So, this is my first time on this forum, or actually doing a play by post game like this. My first character level 7 shapeshifter named Silhouette with the simple ability to turn as flat as paper while maintaining her mass and balance. I sort of didn't think of much past that, but then again I've always been fond of If single trick characters. Plus, I kind of think that there's no one else with a character like mine(I'm probably wrong, as I haven't seen all the other characters yet but yeah). For the stats I got some help from the hero lab demo for a lot of it, but I'm not sure how to tally a lot of the stats. I'm completely open for suggestions and of course, for feats as well as how my stats are laid up and such. Also, some critiquing of the history and appearance as well since I'm not the best writer but I do love trying to creat a good story

History: Carrie's parents travelled a bit before they had her older brother Trent and her, but settled down into a college town when her sister was born. Her mother was ex military and just got off two six year terms to cover college expenses and put down the payments on a house as well as a lease on a coffee shop that she ran with her father who never managed to finish schooling. Growing up there, Carrie tended to hang out with an older crowd.

When she turned seventeen, her parents sold their coffee shop to a competing franchise named after a character in Moby Dick and used the money to move to the suburbs outside of Freedom City. It was about a year earlier after hitting puberty that Carrie noticed her slight difference to everybody else in the family. Seeing as it was somewhat limited as a whole but not at all dangerous with some prompting from her sister she kept it the ability to herself. She went through life at a relative normal pace, until her sophmore year of college.

While attending a field trip to a museum with her art history class the whole place was seiged by some whack job and his minions as a way to call out some big time hero. The guy's mook promptly bound and blindfolded everyone present to chairs to use as hostages when whatever random hero he was trying to called. When said hero did show up, while everyone was distracted Carrie just slipped out of her restraints when she was 2D, hit the singular henchman who was suppose to watch the hostages on the head with the chair she was tied too and untied everyone else. By the time villian had tried to pull the hostage card after the hero had defeated him or whatever obsticale he had set up there were only empty chairs and a knocked out henchman waiting for his response.

After that she didn't immediately jumping into the hero ring, but she thought it might be a possibility. After she graduated she found a similar situation when a regular guy was trying to hold up a convience story and she turned 2D to avoid gunfire and hit him on the back of a head with a six pack of guinesse.

Personality & Motivation: Carrie is a big believer in choice as the major decider of what happens to someone in life. Growing up in a college town she saw teenagers work hard and learn to do their dream jobs until they graduate, but she also saw the results of students who dropped out early because of pregnancy, accidents, arrest records, drug use, or just plain laziness. This makes her quite blunt and generally insensitive to most peoples situations when she sees a lot of self inflicted miseries throughout the city. She hates it when people complain about their situation and neither try to see what they can do to improve it or see how lucky they themselves are. She hates it even more when villians and sometimes even heros force their own plans on to innocent bystanders. This includes but isn't limited too, hostage situations, access property damage, and meaningless slaughter from either party.

Powers & Tactics: She can turn 2D, or completely flat without altering her overall mass. She can do it both in a horizontal sense as well as a vertical so she can either look like a shadow without a person on the way or black oval on the floor. The way she fights with this in general is surprise attack from her flat form, dodge and repeat. In an ideal situation, whoever it is she's attacking would never see her coming and not get back up. Though given the rarity of that situation with the large amounts of freaks and geeks going supervillian she plays entirely by defense after the first initial attack and looks for openings to try another. She can do this to individual parts of her body as well, and as such can slip out, under, through most traditional forms of restraining and holding. When not fighting, which is her prefered method to deal with anything while she's suited up is to get what she comes for and leave without the villian being the wiser. Usually it helps when other heros are already on the scene as an adequite distraction.

Complications:

Secret: She does try her best to keep her identity secret by avoiding some of the hazards like her mask falling off(by sewing it to the rest of her suit) or distorting her features with her ability if she's ever caught without it.

No Weapons: She can't actively carry weapons with her because she can't carry make anything that isn't already naturally flat with her when she goes 2D. This has lead to her to improvise a lot.
