The_Hero Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Hello, Need costume ideas for a sketch for a new superteen. Please read this origin for an dea of her appearance and see what you can think of... Liquidator's Backstory Ava DuPois grew up with a normal childhood. Up til the 8th grade, she was one of the more popular girls in school, into all the athletics, and captain of her pep squad. During the summer prior to her freshman year, her parents went out for the weekend for their anniversary, leaving her alone in the house on her own. She was just about to have a salad for dinner when the doorbell rang. It was a pizza delivery guy, with a large pizza for her. She was about to mention that she hadn’t ordered it when she saw the note saying it was paid, and "Don't go hungry while we're gone, love Mom and Dad." Seeing as she was suddenly much hungrier than for just a salad, she accepted it thinking she just eat part of it and piece it out over the weekend. She ended up scarfing it down in half an hour, ending up hungrier than before. Just as she was beginning to rummage through the cupboards for something else to eat, the doorbell rang again. This time it was a chicken delivery, a good 20 piece, with a note saying, "Figured you might still be hungry." Her hunger taking over her common sense, she dug right in. The same pattern continued for the next two days. Each time she would just finish what she was eating, or would start getting tired, the doorbell would ring with another delivery of prepaid food. Eventually the doorbell had a Pavlovian effect, causing her hunger to rise again. By Midnight Saturday, she passed out exhausted, surrounded by ice cream cartons, pizza trays, burger bags of every make, grocery store bakery boxes, cellophane chip wrappers. . . The next afternoon, she awoke to the cries of her parents and their shaking her to see if she was alright. Trying to move to sit upright, she found she couldn’t, as if a great weight was holding her down. Eventually, her parents were able to help maneuver her to something resembling sitting, her having to lean back at an angle as her new form would not allow anything else. After the initial shock wore off, she managed to get a hand on the bed and heave herself, with heroic effort, to her feet. The feeling of standing was incredible as her bulk swayed and then finally settled. She looked in the mirror; she was engorged with fat, gigantic upper arms forcing her arms out at an angle to rest on her sides, which sloped out under them. Her stomach was one big round ball, a slight fold passing over a deep bellybutton in the middle that she couldn't even reach to feel. Her breasts sat on her belly, gigantic, impossible, the size of beach balls, huge nipples at the ends. Her hips were probably four feet wide, and below them, her legs were much bigger around than her chest used to be. Her knees were thick with fat, and below them her calves were as big around as basketballs. She tried to move closer to the mirror and found she had to swing her arms to get started, and had to waddle ridiculously for her thighs to clear one another. She tried to walk normally but found that just couldn't move forward otherwise. She waddled back further from the mirror so that she could see all of herself in it again and felt her calves bouncing with each step, every part of me moving ponderously, her legs carrying much more weight than they were used to. She looked back in the mirror, still awe struck. She had a round face, in which she could still see the faint resemblance of her original features, the same reddish-brown hair, with a huge jowl of a chin that hung down, making her face appear larger than it was. Her days as an athletic young coed were over. She started to cry while explaining what happened, but her parents consoled her, saying they would find a way to fix it. That happened to her couldn’t be natural, no one gains over 400 pounds in 2 days! They also said they'd make her something to wear in the meantime, she thanked them for understanding, but could she have something to eat first, she was still hungry! Two days later, they took her to the doctor's office. They explained what happened to her and asked him to find out what's wrong. Upon examination, the doctor found her to be incredibly healthy, that even with her size, she appeared to be at her ideal body weight! Stunned by the news, her parents demanded a second opinion, at which the doctor said he would call a specialist in genetic abnormalities. He called a contact of his at ‘The Institute’. They eventually convinced her parents to let her stay at the Institute, headquartered in the Carolinas, so they could treat her special condition. She was soon enrolled in the local high school after relocating... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 The only costume which comes to mind is a mumu. Prehaps red, and a size of a small tent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterhawk Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Cut to Homer entering "The Vast Waistband", a clothing store. Homer: I'm looking for something loose and billowy, something comfortable for my first day of work. Salesman: Work, huh? Let me guess. Computer programmer, computer magazine columnist, something with computers? Homer: Well, I use a computer. Salesman: [quietly, to self] Yeah, what's the connection? Must be the non-stop sitting and snacking. [more audibly] Well, sir, many of our clients find pants confining, so we offer a range of alternatives for the ample gentleman: ponchos, muumuus, capes, jumpsuits, unisheets, muslim body rolls, academic and judicial robes -- Homer: I don't want to look like a weirdo. I'll just go with a muumuu. -- Homer, inconspicuous, "King-Size Homer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader108 Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 How do you posibly plan to play this character? What does she do, sit on the bad guys? She could be an Energy Projector with an Energy Blast linked with a small CON Drain (Ranged Regurgitation) and Area Effect NND (Extreme Flatulence) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Hero Posted February 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Power concept Water absorption to Fat cells for growth, not just width either. Has a clinging damage shield, area effect 1 hex with Str, Superleap based on bouncing, etc... The obesity thing is actually always on water retention. Character is just learning to use her powers...

Cosmic Man Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Hmm, you sure this wasn't created by Joss Whedon? This girl has massive (pardon the pun) angst potential. The story possibilities are endless. I am interested in hearing how this one turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
