Interested, will need to track down the 3e rulebook tho
So we are basically the new heroes on the scene. I have an idea. :)
Assuming that Green City is one of the more typical supers settings... my character will be a former high school biology and chemistry teacher, and I mean former because a while back, but not to far back, her students were performing experiments on some (insert cool mineral name here) along with a neighboring class performing lab work on disecting various different animals of the lizard family... there was an explosion (okay, so this part is a little cliche) and somehow she was in the middle of the blast zone, which blew open a hole in the wall, and she flew through the wall into tables of lizard DNA, and it changed her.
Taken to the emergency room, where her husband and kids were waiting, her injuries were treated to the best of the doctors abilities. She was in the hospital for a short time, under drugs while her body regenrated itself. When they took the bandages off her, everywhere she was burned she was covered with lizard scales. Red ones, green ones, black ones, and even blue ones, all over her body. where she wasn't burned was normal skin. One hand was a lizard-like hand ending with claws, and she also sprouted a lizard tail. 3/4th her head and face are lizard as well.
Needless to say, her husband left her and took the kids. That was when Beatrice the school teacher died, and Ruby was born. She goes by the name Ruby now.
That's my concept that just came to me. What do you think?
