Lilac Posted November 1, 2007 Author Posted November 1, 2007 Hero Name: Celestia Name: Agnes Stasinopoulos Description: Age - 15, Height - 5' 2", Weight - 98 lbs, Eyes - Blue, Hair - Dark Blond, Frame - Thin and girlish. History: Agnes' early years are a mystery to her. At the age of 6, her mother left her on the doorstep of St. Sebastian's Church, and she has no memories of her life before then. She was given a Christian name by the Church and was raised by a kindly nun, Sister Agatha, to live a quiet, pious life of contemplation. At the age of 12, Agnes began having strange, seemingly supernatural experiences: visions, levitations, surviving injuries that would have killed grown men. At the age of 13, Agnes returned from one of the subbasements in the church, carrying what appeared to be an ancient Byzantine sword. Some of the Church Fathers were convinced that this was a miracle, that Agnes was a Saint who had discovered the Icon of Emerentiana. These faithful devotees built a small shrine for the sword, and were further convinced of its divinity when it was discovered that only Agnes and a few of the church leaders could even lift the sword. Other Church leaders were not so sure. Father Enos, the head Patriarch at St. Sebastian's, contacted Duncan Summers who came to the church to run some tests on the girl. His tests were ultimately inconclusive, but Summers was convinced that Agnes was a metahuman and that the "miracles" were simply a manifestation of her powers. Summers also believed that the sword wasn't an ancient icon but was rather a manifestation of Agnes' will, an expression of her powers. Agnes was not convinced by Summers, and she refused his invitation to attend the Claremont Academy. Miraculous things continued to happen around Agnes, and though she never told anyone, not even Sister Agatha, Agnes was developing some control over her powers. The development of her “miraculous†powers came to a head one night just before 14th birthday when three armed men broke into the church. It was clear that these men intended robbery, rape, and murder. Agatha was hiding in the nave, praying for mercy, when she heard a scream from the main sanctuary. Without a thought, Agatha got up from her hiding place, and ran into the light. She found herself standing in front of the three armed men, but she was not alone. The sword was in her hand. With one swing, the energy from the blade dispatched the three thugs. Since then, Agnes has lived her life mostly in seclusion at the church. She is being educated by the nuns, and does volunteer work with the Church in the community. But her ability to summon the sword from its shrine and channel its power to perform the "miraculous" is steadily growing.

Barnum Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Hey, Lilac I'm glad you made it over here. One of the other Refs is going to be approving your sheet, but I thought I'd mention two things: 1. You need to specify if extra effort applies to you or to the device (p. 82). 2. If the area effect on your Strike Alt Power is a "general" area effect then it needs to be capped at PL (10), because it doesn't require an attack roll. If it is the special kind of "Targeted" area (UP, 97), then you should specify that on your sheet.
