Ok to start with we'll need the background much better explained. She may not know what her past and the origin of her powers is but you as the writer and the staff needs to know. I'll reserve any further judgments on the back ground until that's fleshed out. right now she doesn't meet combat caps/ Which is fine but will likely be frustrating in play. We're not all about combat but it does happen and being significantly under caps would likely impede your enjoyment of such threads. Powers need to be finished. The Drain as you described it makes sense as a Drain toughness effect not drain strength. Making things fragile not making people weaker. I'm not certain how the building of Phi would best work but most likely it would be equipment of some kind possibly with a mighty strike effect (Due to its mass) and restricted to strength over a certain amount. But normally that is outside hte scope of equipment, as its not really possessed of powers though I don't think its worth device points. It really depends on what exactly you want it to do. If its just a toy that she freaks out about losing then it can be a complication as you have it but it won't really be able to benefit you outside of how your powers normally work.

Mike grinned to Trevor as he approached and offered an easy wave, "Heya Trevor." He glanced to between Trevor and Erin for a moment not used to either of them being willing to stand that close to anyone but assumed they must be growing out of the standoffish thing.

Mike chuckled at the latest revision of marks costume as it was pretty much from his perspective a constant work in progress. Then again it given what it went through it wasn't surprising that it had to be remade routinely. He nodded to John, "Yea I've never been a fan of masks myself." he explained with a shrug, "Everyone keeps saying it goes with the the territory though." he added with a chuckle as he looked to see if he could make out where John was being placed.

Mike grinned down at the new boy, "Soccer's a pretty good game, I don't have to coordination myself." he said thinking, 'not to mention the game ends when the ball ends up in low earth orbit.' He shrugged and and nodded at the first flight misadventure, "That could be troublesome I suppose, I take it you got over that though." He joked easily and glance to Mark to explain exactly what he did as at this point 'He's Lucky' didn't really cut it.

To start with to avoid such troubles Ace has been equipped with a curse Gris gris of infertility That said I couldn't really help myself Ace Danger + Bombshell = Well their powers are not necessarily genetic (and not that central to their character either) Since I read the pairing though all I can think is that their child would be Kim Possible ... Or James Bond Junior if you wanna go old school. Ace Danger + Divine = Demigod; an immortal master illusionist, his lies are just that potent Ace Danger + Scarab = Once again no genetic component really but if they were to manifest I'm thinking something like Mind Knight, A costumed detective who accentuates his acrobatic and investigative skills with minor psychic abilities; Basically a Jedi ...

Ace took Taylas hand and with and steamy smile asked, "So what do you say kid, something along the lines of Paris after the liberation?" he suggested with a wink and in the blink of an eye they both were decked out in apropos costume for a sultry little number they both new so well and led her to the small clear area in the center of the flat. They struck the opening pose and he gave her a confident nod, "To the good ol days."

Mike raised a brow impressed with the display, "That seems handy." he replied with a nod and a quick glance to make sure Mark was Ok. His room mate had been rather easy to push into depression when his family came up but he seemed to have a handle on it all now. These things take time. "Yea as long as your powers aren't too much of an advantage they have some programs available." he agreed.

Ouroboros suppressed a smile, wouldn't do to flash the fangs too early, "Its mostly soemthign I wear for ceremonial work." he explained, "I only wish I could take credit for the craftsmanship." He extended a hand to the necromancer, "I call myself Ouroboros when working." he introduced with a small nod. He turned to look towards Equinox when she spoke and agreed, "Yes Dead Head has spent quite some time aiding the restless dead of the city."

Ace Danger too arrived in full dress uniform medals glinting on his breast. He wore it like any other outfit with the same lazy grace that was his trademark. He had worked with the guest of honor helping to mobilize basque resistance fighters against Franco in the early days. He gave his speech and listened to the others with a nostalgic smile creasing his lips, it had been a long time and so many weren't here that deserved to be none the less it was a happy occasion and he drifted through the crowd to greet old friends and comrades before gravitating, as one tended to, towards the lovely Natalya. "And here we thought all of us hitting fifty was going to be the last hurrah." he said with a smirk. He smiled down to Mark, "Ah and Lucas the youngest." he said with a warm smile, "It just wouldn't be a proper party without a Lucas in attendance."

JJ smiled at the ostentatious display of the mystic missive, Eldrich certainly had the dramatics down. Of course JJ was the child of Avenger and Phantom he understood the usefulness of dramatics all to well. In that vein he opted for a more dramatic look than the utilitarian he would utilize while actively on duty. He dressed in a ceremonial robe of deep purple with crimson scroll work around the sleeves and hem and a sufficiently deep hood to hopefully disguise the more obvious tells of his nature at least until he knew the crowd wouldn't over react. With a word and a gesture a bright white line of light sliced through the air and spun open to reveal the conference room as he stepped through. He surveyed the gathered notables with care before folding back his hood and approaching the group, "Greetings."

Ouroboros is in. To clarify I think AW is looking primarily for spell casting type mystics not just those empowered by a magic/mystic source. So those will probably be getting preference when the thread goes live.

JJ smirked, "Yes I avoid our kind by and large. It is to difficult to avoid the power plays and brinksmanship that are so interwoven into the society. "She is different though I still do not know if she returns my feelings." he said a little sadly, "I can only hope." he added with a shrug, "For now it is a moot point though I suppose."

First Entry I have only recently arrived in the year 2010, So far my existence has not been undone thus I can hope I am in some form of stable loop. I have found a likely ritual that should ensure my continued temporal presence and the details are attached. I have spent some time with my parents of this era it is odd to see them so unsure. They were always so certain in all things to my eyes to see them as they are now is both comforting and unsettling. I can only hope that we find this in time to avoid some of the worst we put them through. I have secured a new identity as well as a separate living space. As much as I care for my parents they need to focus on the younger me and to be honest I am unsettled by my youthful self still seeing oneself as an infant goes against the core.

Notes to myself I begin this journal fully cognizant that I may undo my existence with my very presence here. It is an unsettling sensation to say the least but I will say that I do find it to be some small comfort to know that I can pass on some of what I have learned. Thus I scribe this journal knowing that when you are ready you will find it. I have already begun to build a library and workspace in the void. I'm sure you had little difficulty finding it. I do not know if we will meet in a fashion that you will recall so I shall begin with who I am. I am you. Jack Faretti Junior who calls himself Ouroboros. I have been displaced in time near to the time of our birth, and I am uncertain if I shall return to my time or even if there is such a place to return to. These letters will detail what I have learned of that and many other things I hope they will be of use to you.

JJ actually blushed, "Ahh not exactly?" he said as he shifted awkwardly. "There is someone but ... There are difficulties, I actually hope to be able to rectify some of those now that I am here but I have difficulty understanding courtship among humans truth be told." he said awkwardly as trying to butter up her parents before she was conceived was a tricky proposition at best. "Of course she's not exactly mortal either..." he trailed off an oddly whistfull look on his face as he thought of the night omnipotent force he had fallen for.

"Yes." He replied plainly. "But I do not need it." he elaborated, "So I hold back." his words only hinted at the will required for such a feat. He paused for a moment and looked to his father, "I am best suited to follow in her footsteps." he explained with a small shrug, "It is also easier not to tempt myself with drawing too heavily upon my gifts from you." he revealed as he looked to his father, "I am also very young as a Dhampir and pushing as you have done will not speed my maturation. If I did follow your ways I would likely have some larger skill but my power is more tied to my age than even yours." he explained without obvious emotion.

JJ nodded eyes looking far older than his face would suggest. "Yes mothers enemies are ... worrisome." he said with a nod, "I actually however am better prepared for them than most would be." he said without ego he knew even with his minimal training he was likely to be one of the more potent mystics of the era. He sauntered the rest of the way into the room and sat in one of the overstuffed chairs, "But a nature such as mine does certainly lead to some questions." he agreed, "Even among those who would be allies." as Jack well knew the tension between heroes and even 'good' monsters.

JJ offered up a half grin that was like looking into a mirror for a moment, "Yes I'm sure I'd be of interest to many parties." he said with a shrug, "Some even for the right reasons but I understand caution." he explained with an easy nod. "So you don't have organized opposition? I'd think there'd be quite a few still yearning for the good ol days." he said the last with a sarcastic lilt well aware tey were anything but.

JJ leaned on the door frame in a languid pose a smile dancing on the edge of his lips, "Would I have been coming here first thing when it all went south if they weren't?" He asked rhetorically, "You know better than I how vampires do their thing." he said plainly, "You kept me out of most all of it most of what I know is second hand from books and a few contacts." he lied as he had spent a stint with some of hte harsher elements in his teen years, "Will they be reformed wholesale? No and you know that. But you are now and will be then proof that it can be different."

Jack winced inwardly, "You know that stuff really isn't accurate at this point. My presence here now is bound to upset what comes to be." he explained with a small sigh. His father was trying though so he'd meet him half way, "Besides you need to trust your instincts not second guess yourself with what I tell you might be." he said with confidence as he followed, "Why don't you tell me what its like now? You never really talked much about the early days when i was growing up." As the reached the study he looked it over even already it was as Jack would have it for years to come. Well aside from a few art pieces that would likely be broken over the years one way or another. "You know you're doing the right thing with what you're trying, would it really change your mind knowing if it does or doesn't work?"

JJ started at the sudden voice behind him and took a quick calming breath as he dismissed the forcefield he had summoned upon being surprised and turned on his heel to face his father, or the person who would grow to be the father he knew at least. It was definitely taking some getting used to not only being displaced in time but also how eerily familiar living with his parents once more was. In the end he couldn't wait for the bureaucratic strings they had pulled to reap him a new Identity to function under while he was here. He nodded to Jack, "That sounds good. Have anything in mind?" He asked hopeful that he might get learn some trick fo the trade from one of the greats, "Maybe you can show me the ropes get me familiar with the scene here?"

With Dead Heads Heroic sacrifice the other heroes were seen safely to the surface before the chamber collapsed. While Samedi may have escaped the army of zombies he had tried to raise was destroyed and his plans ruined. The collapse shook the neighborhood above but caused no significant damage to the structures above. I took hours for the heroes to retrieve Dead Heads mangled form but his duty on this plane was not done and soon he was animate once more. This small band forged in battle would move forward together to stop threats most could not even conceive of.
