What, Stalkers can't worry about how they look? It takes effort to look good while dealing death.
Mary Kay-
Replace Kiss of Death with:
Assassin's Kiss: With the proper lipstick you can lay anyone low by planting a big fat one on their lips. Interruptable. Smashing and Toxic Damage, does extra Toxic damage when hidden.
Avon Armor-
Replace You Smudged my Makeup with:
Too Pretty to be Trouble: You apply a cunning layer of makeup that hides your criminal intent from your foes. Either that, or you look so outlandish you must be Someone Else's Problem. Toggle, costs no endurance. Grants the Hide state.
If anyone makes a Natural origin with these powers, I'm leaving to CO. And putting flames, neon and hydraulics on my power armour.

I feel pretty... Oh, so pretty! 
My story arcs: #2370- Noah Reborn, #18672- The Clockwork War, #31490- Easy Money
Sartre once said, "Hell is other people." What does that make an MMO?
Well-thought-out and well-written - thanks for an enjoyable read!
This whole thing reeks of horrible make up product placement.

I don't know what you're talking about.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
... and tries something a little different. (hopefully)
Introducing, in honor of Going Rouge, the Tammy Fae Power Set.
Primary: Offense MK-1 (MK=Mary Kay)
1) Base Thumper - Claws own face and throws a handful of base into opponent's eyes. Does Minor damage with a chance to disorient.
2) Mascara Pen Massacre - Jabs the little stick into opponent repeatedly for Moderate damage and continuing Toxic over time.
3) Head butt - let's face it, with that much make up caked on as a layer of armor, you won't feel the impact but your opponent sure will. Damage: high, no side effects. Long recharge since you'll have to repair the "damage" to your make up after use.
4) Smile Pretty - Lean in and smile at your foe like a beauty pageant contestant. No damage. Opponent is mesmerized and held while they stare in awe at the shifting, writhing mass of make up and flesh.
5) Kiss of Death - Grab their face and plant a fat kiss right on the lips. Enough gloss is left behind to restrict airways and make breathing impossible until they clear the debris. High damage over time.
6) Lee Press-On Death - Acrylic nails snikt out like claws and lacerate your opponent for extreme lethal damage. This attack comes in a multitude of colors and designs so you can be fashionable while you filet foes.
7) Explosive Exfoliation - All that make up has severely blocked your pores and kept life-giving oxygen from your skin. Sometimes your skin just rebels. Sudden explosive compression sends make up shards in all directions. Does high damage to all foes with a chance of Knockback.
8) Basilisk Beauty - A higher powered Smile Pretty. Your grace and beauty is such that you can now mesmerize an entire group of enemies. They are so overcome by your made-up magnificence that they may retch and vomit during the experience.
9) What About The Children?! - You begin to cry and sob about the wretched plight of all those neglected children. Your make up begins to run in black and red trenches down your face. The resulting effect is so... moving... that everyone within the area takes extreme damage and is under the influence of the fear... er... the spiritually transported.. effect.
Secondary: Defense AA (Avon Armor)
1) Heavy Base - Good resistance to smashing and lethal. No need to reapply, so no endurance cost and always on, even when you go to bed, which explains the state of your pillow.
2) Just A Touch Up - You never know when there might be a member of the paparazzi around, so it's always a good idea to add a little more make up. Toggle power; provides high resistance to smashing and lethal.
3) A Girl's Gotta Keep Up Appearances - You've put on more make up than most test animals in Rogue Islands testing labs. As such, you have built up a natural resistance to toxic, fire, energy, cold and negative effects. Always on, no endurance cost.
4) You Smudged My Make Up! - You wear heavy putty make up that looks wonderful even if you do say so yourself, but it's SO sticky! As long as this power is on, any opponent who hits you comes away with some make up stuck to them. Cumulative slow effect.
5) Maybe She's Born With It - People are finally beginning to respect the fact that they may smudge your make up! Opponents take one look at you and decide they'd really rather not hold you. Resistance to holds, mezz, immobilize, fear, stuns, etc while activated.
6) Rapid Re-Application - Long years of practice have made you adept at fixing up the occassional little messes in your appearance. The fact that you use a trowel and spackle has nothing to do with it. Click power causes period of high regeneration rate.
7) Ambrosia Armor - You wear more perfume than Chanel makes in a fiscal quarter. The people around you show their appreciation of your delightful scent by bowing! Strange how they always seem to be gripping their throats or clutching their stomachs while they do though. Toggle; while on everyone within range has a chance of choking and gasping for air. Attacking them will stop the effect.
8) Slippery Little Sucker - Sometimes you want to have a little shine to your appearance. Sometimes you just have to sparkle! Toggle power. When active you wear a petroleum based make up that causes most attacks to hit and skid off without doing actual damage.
9) The Whole Enchilada - Drastic situations require drastic solutions! You apply every bit of make up in your substantial collection all at the same time! Oh, it might cost a bit to replace, but beauty knows no limitations! Click power. Extreme resistance to every kind of attack with the exception of psychic, but only if the psychic is not actually looking at you. If they are then you're immune to their power too. This power does not recharge as normal. In order to get the power back again you must travel to any store and pay 100,000 influence to replenish your make up supply. Oh, and while using this power you transform into something that looks like one of the Hydra... but in pastels.
These sets are available to Scrappers and Brutes.
