My Humble Submissions

I decided to join in on the character-writing frenzy and started with one of my favorite characters, one I played on an online game for a couple of years. Alicia Vega, aka Alley Cat, was originally written up using M&M.

The game was set in Chicago at a high school that contained a disproportionate number of super-powered teens in its student body. Alicia was the token "bad girl" and I enjoyed exploring her background and interacting with the other characters in the game.

I could easily write pages detailing her history and personality, but I figured I'd spare you the pain. ;) But, in case you wondered, the retired superhero in her character sheet was the campaign's equivalent to Captain America.

Alley-Cat is a real great character. She'd make a great member for a team of government super-ops or a team of starter superheroes like first year X-Men.

Funny you should mention that. When the campaign wrapped up, we went through a bout of "where are they now" stories for our characters.

For Alicia, I wrote a couple of stories where the gang attempts revenge by targeting her mom and she adopts a vigilante persona (Payback, as in "Payback's a b***h, and she's looking for you.") to fight back. Afterward, she gets recruited by her former mentor to join a government-sponsored team with a schoolmate. :)

And the artwork was part of the inspiration for the character. ;)

Good defense (X7 vs melee), concept, and picture. With all of the skills you're taking, you might consider increasing her mind stat if it fits the character.
