[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4531059, member: 19675"] Another supers PC- this one an "alien gladiator" type who won her freedom from the death pits to become a wanderer...and crashlanded on Earth. For the most part, she was a nice mix of typical density increasing/growing "brick" and a Gladiator's Code that permitted her to kill a foe who who fought with honor or who was so mortally wounded that death was a mercy. The interesting part about her was that she had a "realistic" alien metabolism. She needed a LOT of calories to power her abilities, especially her super strength- she ate about her body weight in food every day. In addition, certain foods, spices and additives were toxic to her alien metabolism, so she always ran the possibility of going into anaphylaxic shock after eating.* She was 100% fun! *In an example of convergent thinking, her appearance and the "some foods are toxic" detail to her metabolism were very similar to details contained in C.J. Cherryh's [i]Foreigner[/i] books. She looked like an atevi in many ways, and Earth food affected her like some atevi foods affected humans. And I hadn't read or seen any of the [i]Foreigner[/i] books until 2005...something like a decade after that campaign ended. [/QUOTE]
