My new Problem Child

lynn_calodo.jpgOkay, her origin story is so lame that even I can’t take the time to dress it up with a straight face. Something about a California vintner father, an experimental (Crey? Why not?) fermentation system that she became trapped in, strange alteration of body chemistry that gave her both powers (Science origin, don’tcha know) and required an external droid assistant to monitor and stabilize said chemistry (and to whisper sweet nihilistic nothings in this little goth’s ear). Now she’s a hero with a ‘tude off in big Paragon City, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah.
(Wanted an origin that was something other than Magic. So I took Science — could’ve done Technology — and of course immediately ended up fighting Vahzilok all the time, dammit.)
That, and all sorts of wine-related puns apply. She’s robust. She’ll knock you on your ass. She’s young and harsh, but might mellow with age. Etc.
Her intent is — aside from scrapperly fun — to have someone I can run off and solo with in any spare non-Margie-around-to-duo-with time (and then not worry that I’m getting out of level balance with her or something). Though Margie notes that scrapper-scrapper duos are also fun …
Dunno if I’ll put her in the Consortium. She is definitely not the sort that would want a team name floating over her head, let alone something pompous-sounding like “Consortium of Justice.” Miss the channel chat, though. Maybe I’ll eventually get her into the Allies.
Assuming my interest in her, vs. all my other alts, is maintained …

  1. Put her in the allies…it what all the evil heroes are doing these days…;->

  2. Actualy, what I need to figure out is *why* she’s doing heroing stuff.
    Is it actually her idea?
    What motivates her? Yeah, hitting people is nice, esp. when you don’t get in trouble for it, but doing it out of law-abidingness doesn’t seem to be her cuppa.

  3. Ok, let me rephrase that…
    the Allies is a place for all the problem children in the Allience.
