Layla tapped her papers on the professor's desk as she packed up her belongings, the interview having just ended. While she certainly wished she could be out chasing a harder-hitting story right now, her editor insisted that these softer pieces were good for her. He was always on her about avoiding burnout, like she was some fresh-faced newbie. But she had to admit, it was fun to do a puff piece occasionally. It was always interesting to get these little glimpses into a whole way of life she would never have experienced otherwise. And while she had been sure she would have been dying of boredom by this point... Okay, admittedly the professor was very dry in his delivery, she could still sense his enthusiasm for his work. He provided more than enough material to put together a serviceable article. "Thanks again for your time." She slipped her leather jacket back on over a basic long-sleeved blouse, just enough to keep the cold at bay on her way back home. She swiped away a few wrinkles in her dress jeans and shouldered her messenger bag full of notes. "If all goes well, this should be up on the Ledger website tomorrow morning, then hit print in the Sunday edition. I'll email you a link when it goes up online. Have a good night, and stay warm!" She quickly let herself out and began to fast-walk her way back to the bus stop where she had been dropped off. It'd be quick work to bang out this article, then she had more personal research she needed to attend to. She had managed to get a hold of some new literature on lycanthropy after a bit of digging in an obscure Lantern Hill bookstore. She could probably burn through a fair bit of that before turning in for the night- *BOOM* He train of thought now utterly derailed, she turned toward the source of the explosion, immediately on high alert. She could see smoke rising from somewhere obscured by the other campus buildings. Voices were rising around her as people whispered and clamored about what was happening. But she couldn't stay to gawk or speculate. After taking that brief moment to collect her thoughts, she was off in the direction of the explosion at a full sprint. She fumbled with her phone as she ran, trying to quickly start recording the scene in front of her.

Fixed that as well, thank you very much.

Fixing errors pointed out by Poncho: Deducted two PP cost from the Werewolf Array to correctly reflect the drawback. Used these two points to buy an additional rank of Attack Focus Melee and Dodge Focus, bringing both Attack and Defense up to PL caps. Corrected Super-Senses listing, made it clearer which modifiers apply to Scent. Added 10 ranks across various skills to bring skill ranks up to 88 Added Move-by Action to account for the missing Feat point. Reworded the Attack and Defense bonuses Not listed, but also stopped Fearsome Presence from creating a cool smiley.

Night Howl Power Level: 10 (150/150) Trade-Offs: None In Brief: Intrepid reporter by day, werewolf crime fighter by night Alternate Identity: Layla Shaw Birthplace: Freedom City Residence: A rented room in a manor in Lantern Hill Occupation: Reporter at the Freedom Ledger Catch Phrase: She's still working on that one Theme Song: Howl - Florence and the Machine Description: Age: 27 Gender: Female Ethnicity: Caucasian/Middle Eastern Height: 5'10" in human form, 6'6" in werewolf form Weight: 160 lbs in human form, 280 lbs in werewolf form Eyes: Hazel Hair: Brown, mid-back length In her human form, Layla is a tall, slim woman with a fit figure. She has long brown hair that she lets down at most times. She has beige skin, taking after her mother's Mediterranean heritage in this regard. While she dresses up when her job requires it, she prefers to dress casually, wearing jeans, functional sneakers, and simple tops. In her werewolf form, Night Howl is a tall, broad humanoid wolf, covered in fur the same color as Layla's hair. She is equally comfortable standing on her hind legs or one all fours. She is typically seen wearing tattered clothes, Hulk-style. Layla is experimenting with options she can wear under her street clothes that can survive her transformation. History: Layla was born to Elliot Shaw and Nadine Deeb, two Freedom City natives who lived humble but happy lives. They owned a small business in South Freedom and were happy to serve the community there despite the struggles of living and working there. They faced regular harassment from local gangs, as they were particularly stubborn about refusing to pay protection money. They did their best to insulate Layla from all of this, but they couldn't anymore when someone set fire to their shop. While devastating, this was the inciting moment that inspired Layla to protect the people who needed it. She grew up to be a sharp, driven woman, making her choice to be an investigative journalist a natural fit. Landing a position at the Freedom Ledger straight out of college, she quickly proved her abilities on softer beats before being promoted to covering hard news and conducting her own investigations. She was a hungry reporter, constantly sniffing out new leads and aggressively pursuing them. She especially relished the chance to expose corruption within her beloved city and to root out organized crime entrenched in the less fortunate areas. Her natural charm, determination, and quick wit made her an ace in the field as she talked her way into wherever she could, and snuck into wherever she couldn't. Of course, her choice of career and the zeal with which she approached meant she was putting herself in danger. That was made abundantly clear to her one late night. She was walking quietly through a shipping yard, tailing a lead about a smuggling ring in the area. As she rounded one of the shipping containers, she found herself staring down a hulking, furry beast. A werewolf stood crouched in one of the lanes between the shipping containers, locking eyes with her. Layla immediately turned and attempted to run, but the beast was on her in an instant. She woke up hours later, seriously injured, but alive, much to her own surprise. She had been left exactly where she had remembered being, in the middle of the shipping yard, discovered by a random worker there. She rushed out of there, and after having her wounds cared for, went back to work, investigating the original smuggling ring and now looking into the presence of the werewolf at the shipping yard. However, she kept the exact circumstances of her injuries close to her chest, out of fear of drawing attention to herself and compromising her investigation. Layla first noticed subtle changes. Enhanced senses that gave her an almost preternatural ability to perceive details. The hum of machinery at the Freedom Ledger became unbearable, and the scents of cologne, coffee, and ink mingling in the office seemed sharper and more intrusive than ever. She chalked it up to lingering trauma from the attack, though deep down she knew exactly what was happening. The confirmation came during the next full moon. Her muscles ached in ways she couldn’t explain, as if she’d run miles she couldn’t remember. The memory of the night before was a blur—fragmented images of her slipping out into the city streets, the cold air on her fur, the rush of adrenaline as she ran faster and farther than she thought possible. She now had proof. The werewolf attack had turned them into one of them. While she initially withdrew in fear, Layla was nothing if not resilient. She threw herself into researching her new condition, learning how to keep it under control. With time and effort, she was able to harness her wolf form while retaining her mental state, sometimes even retaining control directly under the full moon. As she began to gain greater control over her transformation, she had a realization. She could use this curse to her advantage. Her wolf form had plenty of advantages of her normal human body; her heightened senses made tracking people a simple task. Her heightened strength and size made maneuvering into closed-off areas easy, and gave her a way to defend herself in dire straits. That realization is what led her to a new way to tackle her investigations. Now she continues to write for the Freedom Ledger by day, but at night she will head out into the city to follow her leads, and when necessary adopts her werewolf form, whether that be to track a person of interest or to intervene in a crime mid-occurrence. Her objectives remain the same as they always have. Protect the innocent. Expose corruption. And now, figure out the story of how she came to be this way to begin with. Personality and Motivation: Layla is clever, resourceful, and driven by a deep sense of justice. She is charming and blessed with quick wits and a sharp sense of humor. Her determination and drive to find the truth can make her come across as nosy and reckless. As Night Howl, her personality changes to a degree, partially as a deliberate act by Layla to conceal her true identity and partly due to inbuilt wolf instinct. Compared to Layla, Night Howl is quiet, focused, and strategically-minded. She can exude an unnerving sense of calm up until the moment she jumps into action, at which point she puts her feral nature on full display. Powers and Tactics: Layla's superpowered are primarily confined to her werewolf form. While she can take advantage of her supernatural regeneration while in her human form, aside from this she is simply a skilled reporter. As a werewolf, she is large, powerful, and much more mobile, and armed with sharpened senses that allow her to track a target across the city. While her werewolf form leaves her equipped for combat, Layla prefers to handle situations non-violently when possible. Her primary approach is almost always to talk her way through a situation. When she must resort to other tactics, she will stealthily gather intelligence, using her werewolf form when needed. If a situation does come to blows, Layla prefers to end the conflict quickly and decisively. She will attack from stealth when possible, and will always strike hard and fast, attempting to deal with the threat as quickly as possible before they can put their own plans into action. Complications: With Great Power Comes No Sleep: The nocturnal tendency of Layla's powers and the diurnal nature of her day job leaves little time for sleep. She gets by on copious amounts of caffeine, but she is regardless prone to energy crashes, which could be as mild as eating sleep for lunch, or as extreme as having a narcoleptic episode while on patrol. It's All Connected: Layla has a somewhat paranoid way of thinking. She looks for connections and conspiracies even where they're not likely to exist, on the hope that it is somehow the key to what she is currently researching. This regularly has her chasing after red herrings that waste her time. The Scent of a Wolfman: Animals tend to behave differently around Layla, usually displaying some level of wariness or nervousness. Layla's working theory is that she smells somewhat like a wolf to them, even in her human form. While she has yet to confirm it, she suspects that animalistic humanoids or those with a souped-up sense of smell may also be able to sense something off about her. Door in the Face: Layla's investigative work tends to make powerful enemies, and that's not even counting the supervillains and other criminals. She's exposed plenty of unscrupulous business practices, and corporate types are likely to take a dim view of her, especially when they have dirty secrets of their own.

Notice check of 14 to look through the windows

He visibly deflated a bit as Tiger made her approach. "Okay, that steals a bit of my thunder. Definitely should not have expected to be the only guy around here with a grappling hook. Shake it off." He stood back up to his full height and made a show of striding up to the skylight, pacing the perimeter and observing what he could see inside.

I mentioned it offhand, but I'm kind of interested in Gyrfalcon stopping into Queenie's restaurant in his civilian persona. Seems like the sort of place he would want to try at least once.

Gyrfalcon paused. Young hero, colorful outfit, looks to be built like a scrapper. He had expected a much different reaction when he suggested the stealthy approach. "More than just muscle, it seems. Glad to hear it." He paused as he played that back in his head. "Was that rude? I think it sounded rude. Should I care if I sound rude? Not caring is usually cooler. Oh wait, I think she's waiting for me to make the first move. Geez. Do something." "Post up on the target building's rooftop. Once we're up there, we'll be able to better assess the best route in. There's probably an access door that we can enter through. I doubt they've put much security on that entrance." He decided that it was better to make a quick exit. Mysterious and commanding. Gyrfalcon drew his grappling gun from his waist, and using a tall adjacent building as support, swung his way to the top of the offices where the deal was about to happen. He landed with a parkour roll to slow his momentum, then stood and turned to see how his new companion would make the approach.

"So she doesn't have any advance intelligence either. But she's good to have read that much into the situation already. Is she a veteran super? She certainly doesn't look it. "Whatever. No getting upstaged on your first big night out. Serious face now." He turned back and scanned over the scene one more time. "Hmm... Can't risk just walking in the front door. I don't know what you're packing aside raw power, but I don't like our odds against this kind of security. I say we take to the roof and enter from there if possible. That gives us a way to get the jump on the second floor guards..." He pointed to the two he had already spotted, "And an extra way in and out against the meeting itself."

Not expecting company on the rooftop, and thoroughly not expecting to be snuck up on, Gyrfalcon whipped his head around and the sound of the newcomer's voice. "LITERALLY HOW" was the first thought through his head, but he managed to stop himself from speaking out loud. He at least hoped the fast head turn looked suitably intimidating. He wasn't certain what to make of her. He stood taller, but she was clearly powerfully built. Someone who wanted to protect the deal about to go down would have just walloped him already. It was safe to say he could count on her help for this one. "That's the look of it," he said quietly, in a low tone. "I count two guards indoors, in addition to everyone on the ground level. What do you know?"

Notice check Hmm, hopefully that turns up something.

Just a block away, a caped figure say crouched on a rooftop. His pointed visor pointed at the meeting below. He sat still as he observed, and attempted to ease his own mind. "Breathe, Riley. There's no room for nerves tonight. Tonight is a big step up. Targeting muggers and small-time burglars can only do so much good for this city. It's time to pick off some bigger fish." He glanced quickly to the water gently lapping beneath him, and stifled the urge to grin at his unintentional pun. "You've got time for all the bad jokes in the world once you've wrapped this up. Let's just see what we're dealing with here." Gyrfalcon heard rumors of a drug deal at the waterfront while patrolling the streets last night. After dragging the location out of a thug, he had it made up in his head that he was going to see if it was for real. Though now that he was actually here, he was kicking himself for not being more prepared. He had little idea how many people to expect, what sort of security the location had, or what kind of weaponry the guards were packing. "It's gonna be fine," he thought. "Take it slow, get a feel for the situation." Gyrfalcon focused and attempted to gather what he could about the information below.

Fixes have been made.

All right, changes have been made. Specialization with Unarmed was supposed to be at 3 originally. I just managed to typo the feat and flub the math on my bonuses at the same time. Now up to PL10 while sneak attacking. Boomerangs have been fluffed into Raptorangs and given a mention under Power Descriptions. Spelled out the abilities of the HQ and Vehicle, and given them new names. Added some references to fighting styles up above, to give some baseline for fight scenes.
