Kunai-Hime, Mk2
Yeah, seems a good time to wait overseas until the situation in Japan is more under control.......
Walking Dad, how are we handling max skill ranks and class/cross-class skills? Are just ignoring Pathfinder's rank limits and class skill bonus, sticking with the standard M&M 2E "max rank = PL + 5"? Or are we adopting some of the PF skill bonus/rank limits?
BTW, I figured that the Unreliable flaw for her Materialize Barrier power would be a round-by-round chance of failure (50% chance each round that she'll be able to make it work and gain its benefits), since it's a free action sustained-duration power. Unless you think it should be handled differently (the Unreliable flaw normally applies when activating the power, which doesn't matter with free-action non-instant powers unless you make it a limit of one try per round, even if it was still active from a previous round).
I opted not to use the Mecha & Manga feats and powers under the circumstances, given the changes and the banned feats/powers. Kunai-Hime's going to be missing some of her ninja style without that stuff, but oh well. I lowered her Wisdom a bit and purchased a few more skill ranks, rearranging some skill points as well given your skill changes. Removed Deflect for a few skill points. I'll post Kunai-Hime to the Rogues' Gallery thread as well. Appearance description will be added soon, when I get around to typing it up.

Kunai-Hime - Sneak/Assassin
The antiheroine known only by the alias of Kunai-Hime is a frequent prowler of the Japanese islands, and occasional foe to villains, heroes, and rich tycoons the world over. Kunai-Hime spends most of her time spying on people to learn where villains, heroes, and valuables are coming and going, and the rest of her time is spent hunting down those three targets. Kunai-Hime slays any heroes that she considers too reckless and dangerous to the common people, but her primary targets are supervillains that kill innocents or steal objects of great value. Once she has dispatched a supervillain, or finds that she cannot overcome them, Kunai-Hime escapes with whatever items of value she can carry, to sell off later on the black market or at pawn shops and importers around the world. On occasion, she will assist superheroes or innocents in need, but is always wary of people who may seek to capture her for executing her own, strict form of justice.
A Japanese teenager, Kunai-Hime was trained in the martial arts of karate and ninjutsu since her early childhood and resented her family's rural, backwards lifestyle. However, she experienced a life-changing crisis when her family was killed by a freak accident, the stray energy burst from a supervillain who was fleeing a few superheroes. The blast was meant as a distraction, and yet the villain had killed her family for such a minor reason without any thought. Kunai-Hime survived only by the sudden awakening of her own mutant gift, a psychic talent for limited matter manipulation. She converted the air around her into a dense shield of carbon fiber, purely on impulse, and then lost consciousness from the strain.
Kunai-Hime abandoned the crater that was once her family's house in the country, and wandered through the city nearby until she could come to terms with what had happened. She gradually developed some control over her power, which had been inaccessable at first, and Kunai-Hime slowly learned what she could do. All the while, she had to steal to survive, and had been presumed dead in the same explosion that disintegrated her family. After nearly two years, Kunai-Hime mastered the basics of her power and decided what she would do. Choosing an alias that suited her abilities and goals, Kunai-Hime set out to avenge her family and other victims of supervillains, but also to strike down the supposed heroes who had so recklessly put her family in danger. Within months, the supervillain was dead, and so were the small team of Japanese superheroes that had chased him, all slain by Kunai-Hime's vengeful knives. Her ninjutsu is strong.
The powers of Kunai-Hime are fairly minor and straining, allowing her to psychically alter matter on and around her in a brief, limited fashion. Kunai-Hime is primarily limited to manipulating her own outer flesh, turning it to a diamond-like carbon-fiber carapace, forming blades of high-grade steel along her arms and legs, and launching barrages of steel or carbon-fiber darts. The more refined and durable her creations, the more effort it takes and the more it strains her psyche, so Kunai-Hime usually limits herself to average and good-quality steel blades and darts. Hardening her flesh and materializing a thin armor out of the air can protect Kunai-Hime sometimes, but she cannot convert her whole body, and thus receives only limited protection from this defense. She wears stolen black spy gear.
Kunai-Hime's power only creates temporary changes in matter, and they revert back to normal within seconds or less, although she can maintain a creation for several seconds longer with great concentration and effort. She has not been able to create other materials as of yet, and is still a fledgeling mutant. Kunai-Hime has, however, learned to change the surface of her flesh and clothing into different colors and patterns at will, with only moderate concentration and effort, lending her a chameleon quality that is her only long-lasting matter manipulation. She has quickly grown familiar with the technologies and trappings of cities, having never cared for country life.[/sblock]
