One thing about Equipment... you can change the allocated points freely between scenes if you have access to your house/a store/what-have-you.  Taking alternate equipment is only needed if you have the alternates on your person or readily accessible... I saw this spelled out in an Owen KC Stevens Batman writeup where he had the Batplane but no Batmobile on the sheet.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=347850.msg16369209#msg16369209">Quote from: Muse on 31-12-2022, 08:47:11</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Did you like the idea that the MILF was friends with benefits to Caspar and Kuroneko?  (Potentially to the point where her daughter is my half sister, if people are comfortable with that?) <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>That could be fun!  Some of my approaches are a bit mystic in nature, so that's a natural tie-in.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=347850.msg16369731#msg16369731">Quote from: Outcast on 01-01-2023, 00:44:42</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">You had earlier spoken of light-based powers as a possible element, if I remember right?  It's the kind of thing that can make an interesting 'twist' on more straight-forward builds: e.g. punching people with glowing fists of doom could certainly work, if you want to go for the super-strength focus.  But I'll be happy to see whatever you come up with.  ;D<br/><br/>Regarding children and timing: the Terminus Invasion (the alien attack on Freedom City - in its results, even nastier than the assault on New York in the MCU, and with a <em>lot</em> more deaths among the superpowered defenders) took place in 1994.  Quite a few people, mundane and super, left as a result of it (most notably, Maximillian Mars).  Having just had a child / being about to have one in the aftermath of the Invasion could certainly provide extra reasons for wanting to move to the USA's most famous "big city with a surprising lack of super-activity and unusually low crime".  And in 1994, the Mars Renaissance had not yet had an impact, so house prices would probably seem very appealing to someone accustomed to Freedom City's housing market....<br/><br/>Have you had any thoughts on what kind of life the retired superheroine might have been leading?  Homemaker, living off prior earnings?  Entirely mundane, happily losing herself in 'normal' jobs in local stores and the like?  Trophy wife?  Signed on with a corporation, or in public service of some sort?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I had the light focus and an energy controller build when we started, but the strong physical type was calling to me more since, plus someone else is already using that template. :)<br/><br/>That said, an electromagnetic powerhouse or paragon could be interesting, someone who can buff or speed up their muscles and other biological processes with electricity... inspired by a character in A Certain Scientific Railgun who does the same thing.<br/><br/>I've been thinking of some Warrior types, someone who inherited the knowledge and power of a past life/ancestor to fight some threat perhaps, like when Mary Jane became Red Sonja for a bit.  Or someone who was lost in the Hollow Earth for a while and became a hero there before returning (possibly when pregnant).  The idea of keeping her big sword or hammer in the coat closet, covered with an old blanket or something is a tempting one, along with being bigger and thicker, but no less strong than when she was younger.<br/><br/>I'm seeing her having lead a quiet life, having some funds to live on, doing some work from home stuff, perhaps writing and volunteering at local charities and aid organizations to keep free for her daughter.<br/><br/>Tying her history in with the Terminus Invasion is an excellent idea, I'll definitely mull that one over.<br/><br/>
