Meh. TurboSki and hubby making it into heaven at the end just doesn't sit right with me at all. She does such terrible things and the story would be more fitting if she managed to get her hubby into heaven, but had to stay in the Netherworld as penance. It would show a different side of her, while giving the story a bittersweet ending.
It's not my char, but the 'everything is wonderful' ending just really seems kinda anti-climactic to me. I mean, Turbo isn't an anti-hero. She's a really sadistic murder. Unless it's a well crafted plan that literally steals hope from the powers of Heaven, it just doesn't ring well. And even then, when they're both in Heaven, she'd have to pay for her previous crimes anyways. I'm not really much of a religious guy, but going against the "ultimate supreme powers of the universe" and winning just seems cheesy.

well it didn't quite sit right with me either, but I want the whole self-sacrifice kind of death for Turbo-Ski with her ending up together with Kevin in the end. I guess I could have them both either burned into nothing by the Purifier's energies or have them lose all their memories and get reincarnated as normal humans. Either way I can't have either of them end up in Purgatory or the Netherworld, since Tarix can rip souls from either place and bind them to his will.
EDIT: I should also mentioned by this point she has gone through numerous periods of trying to become her old self or a hero but ending up going back to her dark side. Only reason she would try to be her old self is because of her love for her husband, without him she feels the need to share her suffering with others.
Going to revise some of this...probably keep Turbo-Ski alive...might just have something for her as far as plot, although it will be minor.
I like the idea of Turbo trying to rescue her love. It makes Turbo's morality into more of a gray than a black and white thing. I just think that the ending should involve something where her past actions come back to haunt her. More a matter of tying up all the loose ends in the plot.
I see villainy like being in the mob. You're *never* fully out of it. You can't keep track of all the potential enemies you've made.
Of course, if you're clever, you could use the bad karma to Turbo's advantage. I dunno the details really, but a good plan or smart decision could use the negative to fund a positive. Getting enemies to fight each other, stealing something that could allow you to change your past, putting the blame on someone else, etc.

Earlier in the year I got the idea to make a future storyline of one of my characters, Sarix Morrison's reincarnation into Sarix Porter. Well I went ahead and thought up some plot ideas and background details to this future scenario and where all my present-day characters would end up. If you need info on whatever character I'm talking about there are links after the quote for you.

Future details (roughly 30-40 years into the future
from the main storyline):
<ul type="square"> [*]Nether-Touch (Turbo-Skis dead husband, Kevin Portman, in an
animated corpse) was killed by Kraticax. Kraticax used the
chains that Nether-Touch got from the gatekeeper of the
Netherworld to siphon Sarixs and Tarixs power into him.
Kraticax gained his full power for a short period of time only
to be taken down by the combined might of the heroes of Paragon
City and the villains of the Rogue Isles. Kraticaxs powers
were consumed by Tarix when Kraticax died. Kevins soul was
taken by the Gatekeeper as payment for the chains; he is now
forced to become the Gatekeepers successor.
[*]Turbo-Ski is dead. She sacrificed her mortal body in order
to enter the Netherworld so she could free Kevins soul from
the Gatekeeper. Under normal circumstances she would have been
unable to harm the astral being, but she tricked Lady Farsight
into killing her so that her soul would be partially imbued
with the energies of the Purifier (Heavens fallen guardian).
She succeeded in defeating the Gatekeeper and with the
remaining power of the Purifier the couples souls were
purified and they were sent to Heaven together. The Gatekeeper
still lives, but now looks elsewhere for a new successor.
[*]Sarix Morrison is dead, was killed by Tarix while protecting
Tabitha Morrison AKA Lady Farsight. Tarix was drastically
wounded in the fight and disappeared for almost 17 years before
resurfacing again.
[*]Sarix Porter is the reincarnation of the soul of Sarix
Morrison. Her identity is revealed to her on her 16th birthday
by Lady Farsight and her start as a hero begins shortly after.
[*]Lady Farsight has retired from normal herowork and now
teaches new heroes. She is closely watching over and
safeguarding Sarix Porter from both Vesper and Tarix.
[*]Kraticax is dead and Tarix has inherited his elder brothers
power and ambitions.
[*]Tarix has become more powerful than Kraticax ever was and
has made his home in Tibet. When he arrived he killed all of
those that wouldnt give him their souls willingly, thus
becoming his slaves for eternity. He has since acquired a
growing cult of people that worship him and do his evil
bidding. The cult members call themselves Shadow Embers.
Tarix has named his new home Kratic, after his fallen brother.
[*]Project Reaver has regained his memories and has upgraded
himself with a much more advanced arm and the forced evolution
of his nanomachines. Seeks to get revenge upon Tarix for
killing Sarix. Spent the last 19 years after Sarixs death,
protecting a small village in Turkey. During this time a young
Turkish girl named Ayla became attached to him, and secretly
visited him despite the entire villages fear of him. He
watched her grow from a child into a woman during this time and
feels the same need to protect her like he had with Sarix. The
village is burned to the ground towards the end of his 19 year
stay by Red Kite and Tarock agents. He flees with Ayla and her
family into central Europe.
[*]Eternal Abyss became trapped in her Dark Hybrid form after
taking the main generator to a Rikti mothership into her body.
She has since lost her sanity and only has the desire to
consume life. She is currently recuperating after being
attacked by over 100 heroes and is considered a major threat to
the planet. She has renamed herself Umbra. She corrupts
living things with her negative energy mutating them into
monsters that are slaves to her will. She calls them her
Penumbra and uses them to cause chaos and fulfill her schemes.
The crater she makes her home is located in northern Canada and
is called The Eclipse. A giant wall of black ice surrounds
crater and has been referred to as Umbras Veil.
[*]Shadow Magma still lives and continues to look as young as
he did in the past. Leads the fight against Umbra and Tarix.
Leader of Vesper, a group of heroes that zealously hunt the
forces of darkness where ever they may be.
[*]Shadow Blaze was Umbras first victim and was completely
caught off guard by her friends betrayal.
[*]Red Kite is now working for a mysterious organization called
Tarock that is trying to capture Project Reaver. Numerous
sightings of their agents have been spotted near The Eclipse
and Kratic.[/list]
