Background/History: Rena is a mutant,but has only had her powers for a year though she is in her mid 20's

she has had good success writing horror/action books(3 books since she started at 18)

she has taken the past year to learn and develope her powers and the Wraith persona

 

Personality/Motivation: thrill seeker

 

Quote:

 

Powers/Tactics: Str 55:just pretty much brick tactics

Flight:flys upright strides when moving

Force Field skin tight and makes her flesh invisible but gives off a glow

N-ray perception:mass detection based on touch(and can easily id targets by it)

Speed,Con,Stun,Rec:she is using gravity to warp time/space(slowing everything vs her)

Teleportation:using gravity to warp 2 points in space

things start to bad should she try to go less than 1km(think leaving a crease in time/space)

Drain(Body):she is creating an intense gravity field to crush her target into a singlularity(think of a sub going past crush depth)

Drain(Strength)She is aiding the planet's gravity against those in her sphere of influance(damage shield area 5"r nnd defences are gravity based powers, mass and/or density control

Knockback resistance:using gravity to lock her in place(default slot)

Invisibility:expanding the skin tight field to include her clothing

 

Campaign Use: Brick

transport

some stealth/infiltration

 

Appearance:

she looks like a set of animated clothing(nobody looks to be in the clothing but they look as if being worn)

Re: Wraith

 

anybody got anything to say

 

I don't bite unless asked or severly provoked

Re: Wraith

 

She reminds me of a Powered Armor character, only her theme is gravitic powers and not powered armor. Her change into Heroic ID must be the activation of his Forcefield, because she becomes a badass once that's on.

 

Lots of eggs in that FF basket. The first time it gets drained, transferred or suppressed she's going to be bumming.

 

My only concern (as a GM) woudl be that she has so many auxillary powers (Drains, Invisibility Desolid, Teleport and a 360 degree targeting N-Ray vision) that I'd worry how well she woudl mecsh in a group. She is a great solo hero, but maybe covers too much ground to be a good "team" hero. But that's just one guy talking. She's awfully effective-looking (55 STR at 0 END and 6 SPD, 'nuff said).

Re: Wraith

 

yeah there is a lot of stuff attached but the EC already is a focal point for a drain

hit the EC and major portion of her power goes away any way

I expect to be drained once in a while

 

since in the games I have played in for the past 22 yrs

most characterss don't grow that much more powerful maybe 1 or 2 DC

but they do get more versitile(more skills,buy down limitations,more slots in MP's)

the extra stats are because she is also warping time(she slows the whole universe down vs her)

 

Meshing is usually a role-playing thing

the game latest game I have her in there are in a group of 6

4 various types of bricks

1 really strong martial artist(40 str)

and 1 energy projector

transport,crushing bots and tangling with load of agent types are the areas she seems to be the best at

 

only her +40 strength is 0 end her 15 still costs 1

 

thanks for the input

last sentence under Characterisitics

Strength 40 at 0 end cost is a power

 

all other characteristics are under a list with a common limitation

Re: Wraith

 

relevent to the character please

 

Ah, allow me to expand on Tomato Soup: As a gravity manipulator I could easily see some nasty Gravity Well attacks (Killing Attacks or EBs with Double Knock back) with Defenses like, NND: Density Increase.

 

I think the concept is good and with gravity as a core concept there is a ton of things to build off of.

 

Also, if a GM had a problem with +40 Strength (No Endurance Cost) you may try and get by with Reduced Endurance showing that the Gravity well is assisting but not doing all the lifting as with TK.

Re: Wraith

 

i invisoned this character not as a ranged combatant but more as a brick

 

her body drain is a very nasty attack akin to a sub going past crush depth and reducing the target to as small as a singularity or a marble(which if the DM allows could also be used as a ranged attack,the marble that is)

her foes only saving grace is that she dislikes killing

 

the gravity locked is her making the target(s) more intune with the local gravity field(the effect is more that they need to fight against the more effective gravity field than losing the stat

but a 0 str they are rendered immobile which is what I wanted

change enviroment lose mobility cost too much for less effect

 

thanks for the comments
