 About MSH - Stygia▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ “Many things led to this day, for all of us. A forgotten son, a vengeful mother, a brother with a long shadow, a strange mutation. Together, they've written a tragedy.”
“I am a ghost. A wraith of atoms. A shadow.”

Examples of mutants include the X-Men, X-Factor, and New Mutants. When creating a mutant character:

Health: • Used to determine the amount of physical damage the character can absorb before losing consciousness and potentially dying • Does not have a rank or rank number, but rather is the sum of the rank numbers of the character's Fighting, Agility, Strength, and Endurance • Lost through combat, accidents, attacks, and other potentially dangerous and life-threatening situations • Recovered after damage is taken, 10 turns after damage is inflicted • Regained through normal healing by the Endurance rank number of points per day (in crisis situations, Health may be figured as regained by the hour or turn. See the table under Healing) • If reduced to 0, the character is unconscious and may begin to lose Endurance ranks. (See Life, Death, and Health) Karma:

KNOWN POWERS 6/7:
Powers Available: 1d100 ⇒ 57 (5/7 Powers +1 Mutant) ⇒ 6 Resistance to Emotion Attacks (RM*): Stygia has has increased resistance to emotion-related attacks. Such attacks include Emotion Control, Hallucinations, Domination, and attacks aimed at the Intuition. She can ignore attacks with Intensities less than her Power rank, and may reduce damage from higher level attacks by Power rank number. *This Power rank must be at least equal to the hero's Intuition +1CS; if a lower rank is initially rolled, the player should raise it to the Intuition rank +1CS. (Typical rank was rolled, so rank raised to Remarkable.) Shadowcasting (EX): Radiating from her hands Stygia can emit a field of inky black mist that decreases light and radiation. The obscured energy's Intensity is lowered by the Power's rank taken as Intensity. The energy forms that can be affected by this Power are Light, Heat, Hard Radiation, Radiowaves, Energy Doppelgangers, and Energy Bodies. The hero possesses the ability to affect only Light when their Power is at Good rank. At each rank above Good, they gain the ability to affect another energy form in the following order: EX-Heat, RM-Hard Radiation, IN-Radiowaves, AM-Energy Doppelgangers, MN-Energy Bodies. This Power includes the ability for Stygia to see clearly through her own natural or Power-created shadows of Intensity less that the hero's Power rank. The Power can disrupt Darkforce Manipulation on a Typical Intensity FEAT if its rank is higher than that of the Darkforce manipulator, Remarkable Intensity FEAT if they are equal, and Unearthly Intensity FEAT if the Power's rank is lower. Optional Powers include Shadow-shaping and Darkforce Manipulation. The Nemesis is Light Emission. Shadow Regeneration (AM*): Stygia heals as per Regeneration, but only heals Amazing Power rank in Health every ten minutes when she is in shadows or darkness. In daylight, inside lit buildings, and in other similar situations, Stygia heals normally. * This Power has a minimum Power rank of the Endurance of the character + 1CS. Stealth (RM): She can move in ways that cannot be detected, whether while moving or if subjected to later tracking. When Stygia uses Stealth, her Power rank is subtracted from the efforts of those detecting her. Umbral Blending (RM*): Stygia has the ability to change her shade to blend in with shadows and darkness. When she does so she is hidden with Power rank ability, and will not be detected until she moves or acts. *Should a hero choose a limitation (such as the Power only works on night, or only in forests). the Power is raised +2CS, as opposed to the standard +1CS. (Initial power rank of Good, raised to Remarkable due to limitation of only shadows and darkness). TALENTS 0/3:
Talents available: 1d100 ⇒ 2 (0/3) None to speak of. CONTACTS 3/3:
Contacts available: 1d100 ⇒ 67 (3/3) WEAKNESS:
Stimulus: (Energy Allergy): Stygia suffers when she is exposed to direct Sunlight/UV energy. Effect (Incapacitation): Stygia becomes physically ill after exposure to the sunlight/UV. Beginning with the initial contact, she loses one point of Health per turn. This loss continues for the Duration of the Effect. However, the loss stops when Health reaches zero; this Effect does not directly kill her. She retains her Powers but finds it harder to use them as her condition worsens. Duration (Continuous with Contact): As long as she remains within the effective range of the Stimulus, the Effect continues. When Stygia is insulated or moved away from the Stimulus, the Effect immediately ceases. Lost Health points are returned at a rate of 2 per turn. If death has occurred, she now has the possibility of being revived. |
