With that in mind, the solid sound stuff fell by the wayside. Here's what I came up with.[SBLOCK=Character Sheet]NightengaleReal Name Galen KnightGender MaleAge 25Height 6'1"Weight 200 lbsHair BlackEyes BrownPower Level 10Power Points 150Experience 0Hero Points 1Abilities:Strength 3Stamina 3Agility 4Dexterity 3Fighting 4Intellect 1Awareness 1Presence 0Power Points: 38 PPOffense:Initiative +4Ranged attack +10Close attack +4Close attack (Damage) +10Defense:Dodge 12Parry 12Will 6Fortitude 6Toughness 8 Power Points: 24 PPSkills:Acrobatics +14 (10)Athletics +13 (10)Close Combat (Damage)  +10 (6)Perception +5 (4)Stealth +14 (10)Power Points: 20 PPAdvantages:Accurate AttackAll-Out AttackDefensive AttackDefensive Roll 3Evasion 2Instant UpPower AttackRanged Attack 7Takedown 2Uncanny DodgeEquipment 1Power Points: 21 PPPowers:Armor-weave Costume (Protection 2) 2 pts [Origin: Invented, Source: Technological]--Enhanced Voice Array (22 pts) [Origin: Mutation, Source: Magical, Medium: Sonic]--* Sonic Bellow (Blast 10) 20 pts* Deafen (Auditory Dazzle 10) 1 pt* Sub-Harmonic Suggestion (Mind Control 10, Distracting, Instant Recovery) 1 pt-------------------------* Flight 5 (Wings--in costume) 5 pts [Origin: Mutation / Invented, Source: Magical / Technological]* Hand-to-Hand Expertise (Str-based Damage 7) 7 pts [Origin: Training, Source: Biological, Medium: Physical]--Sound Manipulation Array (11 pts) [Origin: Mutation, Source: Magical, Medium: Sonic]--* Field of Silence (Auditory Concealment (Aural senses) 2, Affects Others, Increased Range, Attack) 8 pts* Remote Sounds (Auditory Communication 1, Range 100 ft, Subtle 2) 1 pt* Counter-Frequency (Nullify Sonics 8) 1 pt* Warp Incoming Sound (Senses: Hearing: Accurate, Acute, Extended 2 (x100), Ultra-Hearing) 1 pt----------------------------------------Power Points: 47 PPEquipment (5 ep):(incorporated into costume):Binoculars, Fire Extinguisher, Flash Goggles, Gas Mask, RebreatherComplications:* Identity: Beyond having a secret identity, Galen has to contend with folks trying to figure out his connection to the original Nightingale* Recognition: Sadly, Galen's rivalry is with an ideal. Namely, his mother, the original Nightengale. No matter how much more powerful he might be, he can't seem to get out of her shadow. She's the Nightengale everyone thinks of first.Description: Having been training for crime-fighting from a very early age, Galen is in remarkably good shape. He wears a dark suit which provides him modest protection, some gadgety support, and also incorporates collapsible wings designed to catch his powerful sonics to provide him with flight.Origin:Gail Knight was an empathetic nurse who loved and was good at her job. When she found a magical amulet called The Sound Stone, however, she did what any good citizen in a world full of super-types would do: she put on fishnets and a mask and fought crime.As Nightengale, she used an array of sonic abilites from an ear-piercing screech to the more subtle vocal modulation that left weaker-willed villains in her hypnotic thrall. She made a solid name for herself, and only retired briefly when she and her husband were expecting their child.Galen was a perfectly healthy little boy, unaware of his mother's double life, until at the age of ten, in the midst of a temper tantrum, he let loose a concussive sonic shout that tore a hole in the side of the house. It seems in utero exposure to the magical energies of the Sound Stone had given Galen innate abilities of his own.Gail couldn't keep her secret life secret any longer, and began training Galen to control his powers. Whether due to learning them so young or because his powers were a part of him, Galen even learned some tricks his mother didn't know. He channeled the force of his sonics to gain lift and acceleration, as well as learning several other means by which he could manipulate the ambient sound around him. Now, his mother enjoying her retirement, Galen adventures as the new Nightengale, but while he's proud to help people with his powers, he is getting a bit tired of always hearing "I thought you were a girl?"Power Point Summary: Abilities 38 PP + Defense 24 PP + Skills 20 PP + Advantages 21 PP + Powers 47 PP = 150 PP[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
