and I'd expect no less from a GM

I have  a tough time working out my CompliDisads (pick your edition) without working out the character in my mind (we say "background" but I really look for "personality sketch").  But fair enough!  Seems like the government issues could carry a lot of ideas for more focused complications.

 

That's my general approach to Hunteds - "the group that caused her transformation" and "someone she is not yet aware of", for example.

 

 

AID - the last three letters of OIAID, but easy to see how the acronym could be confused.

 

 

As a GM, I am hearing "all important McGuffins have Power Defense - got it!"

 

Or just make sure they are powered by living beings shackled inside, I suppose.  "Now that I have the world's most powerful telepaths to power them, my Domination Matrix shall enable me to Rule the World!!!"

In this case my insperation was a power concept of negative mass

If I may make a suggestion?

 

Add a slot to the MP with a non lethal version of the field.  Keep it as is EXCEPT for the Does Body.  Then it functions as a room broom vs agents.  Any agent close to her takes 2d6 damage on every one of her phases, so ave dam 7 X 6 SPD = 42 stun.  Add her MA and she makes for a great anti agent type.  Then when the VIPERbot Shows up she can go lethal!

 

Just a thought!

I'll buy something with experience
taking off the does body advantage only allows an extra 1/2d6
it needs a new power build

Reviewing:

 

Placing Reduced Endurance on a Multipower rather than the slots is at least potentially legal, so that's between you and your GM. No further concern iof mine.

 

It's been pointed out that while GG still has her Martial Arts and Speed outside her Hero ID she's the most fragile of spun-glass cannons. This has dramatic possibilities. If you're okay with the choices it places on the character, I am more than okay with it too.👍

 

Ah: the BODY AVAD field is a *focus breaker.* Any adversary who depends on breakable Foci will be hosed... if Ghost Girl is willing to harm the people around her. Which she may have to do, and consequently wrestle with her Code vs Killing. Which, again, is dramatic.

 

(And while it's very powerful in some circumstances, it's no more so than, say, a high-STR brick with levels in Grab. Now *there's* a character you end up building antagonists and scenarios around. I speak from experience as GM.)

 

The Hunteds are just placeholders, sure. In my group, we often just write in, "Hunted: Major Campaign Adversary," or something like that, because it's often not certain who will become the ongoing Big Bad.

 

Invisibility, Desolidification, and Teleportation that can MegaScale make Ghost Girl the infiltration and quick escape paragon for any team she's in. This is in no way a criticism; I just hope the GM is ready for a character who can bypass many obstacles. I've alowed more in my campaigns.

 

As far as I'm concerned, that covers everything in the write-up. The character seems eminently playable. Unless you want to give more description of her origin story and personality, I'm done.

thank you
I'll work on more origin and personality(it takes a while for me to come up with 1)

[Beast]

This character has a powerful flavor, possibly having massive growth potential as the level of the game and the stakes climb. It fills a role, but would make sure that I saved space for other characters to shine if in a team game because of high SPD. The glass cannon with the switch is fine, and as a GM I would arrange it with player to enhance plot. I like how the edges were smoothed through each iteration.
