Hopefully this won't take major revisions, since I think my brain's about to melt trying to work M&M math. My assumption on the base power settings were that they were all things he could carry easily: steel belt buckle, water bottle, small pouch of sand, and either atmosphere or a whiff from his rebreather. The standard action to set the array would be fluffed as his touching whichever material.[sblock=Ben O'hare]Power Level 10 (150 PP)PP awarded: 3 PPAbilities [28 PP]Str 2/10 (Base/Metal)Sta 2/10 (Base/Metal)Agil 2Dex  2Fighting 2Int 0Awe 2Pre 2Defenses [24 PP]Dodge 10/6 (Base/Metal)Parry 10/6 (Base/Metal)Fort  2/10 (Base/Metal)Tough 2/6/10 (Base/Def Roll/Metal with imp 10)Will  10Skills [24 PP]Athletics 9 (+11 Base /+19 Metal)Insight 6 (+8)Intimidation 8 (+10)Perception 8 (+10)Ranged Combat (Pressure Spray) 8 (+10)Stealth 8 (+10)Advantages [21 PP]Advantages: All-out Attack, Close Attack 8, Defensive Roll 4, Diehard, Equipment 1, Hide in Plain Sight, Interpose, Move-By Action, Power Attack, Takedown 2Powers [56 PP][56 PP] Material Mimic: Variable 8 (7/r) * 40 active PP for settings * Standard action to activate[sblock=Primary Settings][code]Setting: Air* [8 PP] Concealment 4 (2/r)  All Visual Senses (4 ranks)* [3 PP] Elongation 3 (1/r)  60 feet* [6 PP] Flight 3 (2/r)  16 miles/hour, 250 feet/round* [2 PP] Immunity 2 (1/r)  Suffocation (all)* [10 PP]Insubstatial 2 (5/r)  Gaseous (2 ranks)  Immune Physical Damage* [11 PP] Low Oxygen: Affliction 10 (2/r)  Fatigued/Exhausted/Asleep  Fort DC 20  Insidious (flat +1)Setting: Metal* [16 PP] Growth 8 (2/r)  Density (+0)  +8 Str/Sta  -4 Active def* [3 PP] Immunity 5 (1/r)  Damage Effect: Electricity (5 ranks)  Limited - Half Effect (-1/r)* [10 PP] Impervious Defense: Toughness 10 (1/r)* [1 PP] Power-lifting 1 (1/r)  +1 STR for lifting* [10 PP] Strength Effect: Penetrating 10 (1/r)Setting: Sand* [5 PP] Digger: Burrowing 5 (1/r)  2 miles / hour, 30 feet / round* [1 PP] Elongation 1 (1/r)  15 feet* [7 PP] Immunity: Immunity 7 (1/r)  Damage Effect: Electricity (5 ranks)  Suffocation (all) (2 ranks)* [5 PP] Insubstantial 1 (5/r)  Fluid (1 rank)* [2 PP] Movement 1 (2/r)  Slithering (1 rank)* [5 PP]Sand Shapes: Create 5 (1/r)  up to 30 cft  up to DC 15  Movable (+1/r)  Proportional (-1/r)  125/250/500 ft* [10 PP] Sand Trap: Affliction 10 (1/r)  Hindered/Immobile/Paralyzed  DC 20  Alt Resistance (Dodge) (+0/r)  Fort to removeSetting: Water * [20 PP] Drowning Grip (Affliction 10) (1/r)  Dazed/Stunned/Incapacitated  DC 20  Alternate Resistance (Dodge) (+0/r)  Fort to remove  Cumulative (+1/r)* [1 PP] Elongation 1 (1/r)* [2 PP] Immunity 2 (1/r)  Suffocation (all) (2 ranks)* [5 PP] Insubstantial 1 (5/r)  Fluid (1 rank)* [9 PP]Pressure Spray (Move Object 4) (2/r)  800 lbs  DC 19  Damaging (+1/r)  Split (2 targets) (flat +1)  Limited Direction: Away from self (-1/r)  100/200/400 ft.* [3 PP] Swimming 3 (1/r)  4 miles/hour, 60 feet/round[/code][/sblock]Equipment: Commlink, Flash Goggles, Flashlight, Rebreather, Night Vision Goggles (5 EP / 1 PP)[Abilities 28 + Powers 56 + Advantages 21 + Skills 24 + Defenses 24 = 153 PP]Complications Motivation: Acceptance. Having lost the steadiness of his initial powers, Brick struggles to figure out his new, mutated abilities and find his role now that it's not as clear as it used to be.Honor: Brick still has an overwhelming desire to to the right thing, though the current state of alien invasion makes what the 'right thing' is more difficult to always identify.BackgroundEven as a child, folks told Ben he was "built like a brick s***house," a phrase which eventually became his nickname, Brick. What they didn't know was exactly how tough Ben was, a fact he kept hidden most of his life at the behest of his mother. When their low-income neighborhood (Tempest) began to get even worse in the wake of the alien invasion, however, the young man decided it was time to stop playing nice, and began acting as a neighborhood watchdog / enforcer against the creeping corruption and danger on his streets.Recently, Ben fell in with a group of super-humans who have been coerced into working for Dr. Destruction, a common enemy against the occupying alien force. He's been struggling with allying with former villains, as he feels his sense of right and wrong being challenged on a recurring basis. After his most recent mission, his life was upturned even more. Whether due to exposure to the alien power source Destruction sent them after, an infection caused by a fight with a genetically-unstable creature, or some unforseen combination the two with his unique physiology, Brick's powers have gone into flux. He is no longer constantly strong or durable. In fact, his form is now dependent on his available environment, as he has developed a tactile material mimicry, letting him take on the attributes of inorganic substances he touches. Now Brick's identity struggle in this world turned upside-down is further complicated by his body's own inconsistency. He's bound and determined, though, to navigate his way through the chaos to see his world, his life, and maybe even his body, returned to normal.[/sblock]</blockquote>
