Five years after having had their third son, they finally had a little girl. Karen had an uneventful childhood being raised in the close protection of her family. Her Irish father was a police officer and her mother was unemployed having her hands full raising her family. Karen always looked up to her mother and even at a very young age she helped out in the household after school, mending her brothers clothes, cooking dinner, ... Her father insisted that everyone in the family should be able to fix just about anything around the house.By the time she turned 17 she had become a smart, pretty, if short, freckled girl with an aptitude for working with her hands. Being raised with and by her 3 brothers had made her into a physically fit girl with a keen interest in electronics and mechanics. She was a grade A student. She was often picked on by her fellow students for her size, her grades and her often boyish hobbies, she spent a lot of free time fixing up old cars with her dad.All this changed on June 15th 2014. After leaving a schoolparty she was walking home alone when suddenly two strong hands grabbed her from behind and dragged her into an alley, putting a knife at her throat. When she got her bearings she could see 3 more men advancing towards her with a very unsavoury look on their faces. The man closest to her tore her shirt. In blind panic but she forgot about the knife at her throat and kicked the guy opposite her right between the legs. He toppled over without a sound.The next thing she felt was the pressure of the knife increasing on her throat, but instead of the sensation of steel cutting into her flesh she felt the knife give way to her skin as it broke with a loud snap. She threw her head back, her assailant screamed loudly as her now razorsharp hair cut into his chest, face and throat. He dropped to the floor quickly losing consciousness to severe bloodloss.Her assailants were probably too drunk or drugged up to notice the change that had come over their young victim, because the two others still advanced on her. One of them backhanded her across the face, the blow didn't bother her in the least. Her attacked on the other hand was cursing obscenities about her being an Elite while clutching his shredded hand. Karen's clawlike hand slashed across his throat and soon he joined his comrades on the floor.The fourth wannabe rapist started to run away into the darkness, but Karen’s sight seemed to enhance what little light there was and with one giant leap she was on top of him, crushing him under her weight.With every assailant lying on the ground in a bloody heap, the overpowering adrenaline rush began to settle and she took a look at the carnage around her. It was a scene from some cheap horror movie. The man who had grabbed her was still holding the handle of his knife while the broken blade lay several feet further. His face, throat and chest were covered in ragged cuts making him barely identifiable. The man she had kicked had a deep, bloody wound where his manhood used to be. The one who'd backhanded her, had nearly lost his hand and his throat was cleanly cut. Her glasses lay broken against the wall. The guy she'd landed on was crushed and cut, his right leg had been severed by the force with which the razorsharp girl had landed on him.As the reality of what she had done dawned on her she stared at her bloodcovered hands and began to cry. In panic she blindly ran for home. It was only there that she fully saw what she had become. Her skin as well as her hair had taken the colour, shine and hardness of ruby. Her shoes had been ruined by her razorsharp feet, her clothes were covered in blood and torn in the places where she had connected with the thugs. The only wound she'd suffered from them was a small cut where the knife had broken on her throat. She'd become a monster... She took of her bloody and torn clothes and stepped into the shower. Finally feeling truly safe she let it all out.A few hours later her parents returned from their own party, following the sound of running water. They found their daughter, or at least something that closely resembled her, still lying in the shower apparently having cried herself to sleep.They carefully woke her up, "Karen, Karen, wake up honey," startled she woke and immediately cowered away into the corner of the shower, screaming, "Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me! You’ll get hurt!" They tried to calm her, wrapping her into a towel and holding her close, the sharp edges had gone, "Sshht…Calm down, everything will be fine, honey. What happened?"She kept crying tears running down her now perfectly smooth ruby cheeks, "I’ve become a monster! I’ve killed people! I'm a monster!" she screamed. "Calm down, honey," her mother shushed, gently stroking her hair, "Tell us what happened."Between sobs Karen tried to explain what had happened, "Th-they... they're dead. I-I k-killed them... I...I c-can’t remember w-what happened b-b-but one of them h-had a knife a-and they tore my shirt and ... and now they're dead," she showed the tiny cut on her throat. She truly couldn't remember what had happened between the man grabbing tearing her shirt and them lying butchered in the alley. She did her best to describe the men but it was fractional at best."Sshh, you're safe now," her mother crooned, holding her sobbing daughter close, "Everything will be fine, right," she looked up worriedly at her husband. "Don't worry hun," he said, "I'll check with some mates at the force to keep a look out. It'll probably be written of as the act of some Elite vigilante. We knew these bastards pretty well. They had it coming..." He hunched by his daughter and put his arm around her shoulders, rocking her gently, wincing as her hair drew a shallow hairline cut along his arm, "Go to sleep hun, we'll get through this together."15 days later Karen was sitting in her dark room, her clothes torn again, her bedsheets were likewise shredded from nightmare filled nights, but she'd slowly and painstakingly gained a measure of control over her body's sharpness. She was watching the CNN news, two Elites were talking to a reporter, one a huge, muscular guy, the other was surrounded by a strange purple glow. They were students at a special school for Elites in Mudaba Adid and had stopped a terrorist attack on the local mall. She bounded up and rushed out towards the dining room where her parents were watching TV, "Did...did you see the n-news? Maybe I should go there? Maybe they can teach me how to control this, maybe they can help me become normal again..."Power Level: 10Abilities (32 points)Strength 38 (18 + 20 +25 lifting/dragging)Dexterity 16Constitution 16Intelligence 16Wisdom 12Charisma 14Combat Abilities (16 points)Attack bonus: +6Defence Bonus: +2Initiative: +3Melee Attack: +6 (+14 damage)Ranged Attack: +6Defence: 15Saves (17 Points)Toughness: +14 (10 impervious)Fortitude: +10Reflex: +5Willpower: +7Skills (6 points)Climb +4Jump +4Drive 2 +5Acrobatics 2 +5Disable Device 4 +7Craft: Electronics 4 +7- Mechanical 4 +7Knowledge: Physical Sciences 2 +5- Technical 2 +5Stealth 4 +7Feats (6 points)Diehard, Interpose, Improved Grab, All-Out Attack, Power Attack, Improved PinPowers (74 points)- Alternate Form (Solid) 10 (51 points):Feats: InnateDensity 10 (20 points):+20 strength (doesn't count for jumping distance, swimming and climbing)Protection 5, Impervious 5Immovable 3Super strength 3Flaw: PermanentProtection 5, Impervious 5 (10 points)Immunity (19 points + 1 point to spend)Life supportAgingStarvation and ThirstSleepCritical hitsFatigue Effects- Super Strength 3 (6 points)- Super sense (2 points)Dark Vision- Strike 5 (10 points)Aura +5- Leaping 5 (5 points)- Concealment 4 (Visual senses) (4 points)Blending -1ComplicationsPrejudice (Obvious rock)Romantic (Kal)Honor (Don't kill, Don't steal, Don't lie)DrawbacksNoticable (2 points)pp. spent: 144 - 2 = 154 of 154Concealment power with blending flaw.Added All-Out Attack featIncrease Alternate Form(Solid) to 10 --> Density 10Added Power Attack and Improved Pin featsIncreased Will and Fortitude saves by 2Added 4 points of Stealth</blockquote>
